Bioarchaeology of Childhood in the Yamnaya Culture, Based on Kurgan 1 at Boldyrevo-4, the Southern Urals
Authors: Morgunova N. L. , Faizullin A. A. , Chechyotkina O. Y. , Mednikova M. B.
Published: July 2022

Archaeological and anthropological data concerning two children’s burials representing the early horizon at Boldyrevo-4 kurgan 1, Orenburg Region, excavated in 2019–2020, are presented. Early mounds were covered by a huge kurgan above another, later burial of adults. The entire complex was built by the Yamnaya people at the turn of the early and middle stages of this culture, about 3300–3100 cal BC. Remains of three children, aged about 6, from two graves, were examined. Severe pathological conditions were discovered. The child from burial 3 died of metastatic cancer. Child 1 from burial 4, represented only by a cranium, possibly suffered from scurvy. The oncological condition may have been triggered by a long stay at a smoky hearth or proximity to a metalworking site, since the Yamnaya population of the Southern Urals was engaged in an intense exploitation of copper deposits. In both children’s burials, common elements of the Yamnaya funerary rite were accompanied by certain unusual features. Vessels were similar in form and decoration, but different in manufacturing technique. The organic substances of which the mats under the skeletons were made display certain differences. These features suggest that children belonged to related but separate groups. Children buried under early mounds apparently had a special inherited social status that had an effect on the further construction of the kurgan for members of the elite.
A Functional Analysis of Lithics of the Early Iron Age Yankovsky Culture: New Findings
Authors: Popov A. N. , Yoshitaka Kanomata , Rudenko M. K. , Lazin B. V.
Published: July 2022

We present the results of a functional analysis of lithics of the Yankovsky culture (800 BC to the turn of the millennium) from two sites–Cherepakha-7 and Solontsovaya-2, excavated over large areas during salvage works in 2015 and 2017, respectively. Such tools are traditionally described as axes, adzes, chisels, knives, spearheads, and projectile points. Certain findings of the functional analysis disagree with this classification. The question arises of the correspondence between formal typological and traceological criteria. For functional analysis, the so-called Keeley method, or High Power Approach, was used, along with the classification of polishing types, elaborated at Tohoku University (Japan). Functions of 28 of the 62 tools selected for high-precision functional analysis were assessed. The existing nomenclature of woodworking tool types is clarified, information on the technique of harvesting herbaceous plants and on leatherworking tools is significantly specified. More details are provided on tools involved in bone carving, as well as those used to open shells of bivalve mollusks. The High Power Approach has enhanced our understanding of the functions of stone tools, which, despite the use of metals, were basic in Yankovsky technologies. Further directions of traceological studies are suggested.
Burial of the Pazyryk Elite Members at Khankarinsky Dol, Northwestern Altai
Authors: Dashkovskiy P. K.
Published: July 2022

This article presents the results of an interdisciplinary study of kurgan 30 at Khankarinsky Dol, located on the left bank of the Inya River, 1–1.5 km southeast of Chineta, Krasnoshchekovsky District, Altai Territory (northwestern Altai). This is a Pazyryk kurgan, under which a looted double burial of a male and an adolescent was found. Their heads were apparently oriented toward the east. Along the northern wall of the grave, an accompanying burial of seven horses was found, placed in two rows, heads oriented to the east. The morphological analysis showed all of them to be stallions, resembling those from other mounds of this group. Morphological comparison with horses from other Pazyryk kurgans in the Altai revealed both similarities and differences. Analysis of the grave goods, including iron bits, a bone pipe-shaped bead, tiny bronze daggers in wooden scabbards, a pickaxe, numerous fragments of gold foil from the horse harness, and fragments of Chinese wooden lacquer ware, suggests that the burial was made no earlier than the 4th century BC – possibly in the late 4th to early 3rd century BC. Radiocarbon analysis was carried out at the Tomsk Institute for Monitoring Climatic and Ecological Systems of the SB RAS Center for Isotopic Studies. The funerary rite and the artifacts suggest that kurgan 30 was constructed for members of the nomadic elite of the northwestern Altai.
Occupation Layer at the Kushman Cluster of Sites (9th–13th Centuries) According to Multispectral Imaging Data

Published: July 2022

This study proposes a novel methodological approach to reconstructing the boundaries and structure of medieval settlements without relief features. In recent centuries, the areas of most sites were used for plowing, destroying their relief features. Erosion eventually redistributed the soil of the destroyed occupation layers. Therefore, not only the area of a site must be studied, but the adjoining areas as well. Tendencies in the distribution of the transported occupation layer mirror the thickness of the original culture-bearing deposits. Such estimates can be obtained by collating archaeological and science-based data. First, multispectral aerial photographs are subjected to statistical analysis. The results are then used to subdivide the settlement territory into smaller areas differing in vegetation density. Comparison with the results of geophysical, soil, and archaeological studies allows us to interpret those areas, to assess the state of preservation of the occupation layer (superficially disrupted, replaced, or transported). Previous multidisciplinary studies at the Kushman cluster of sites (9th–13th centuries AD) revealed substantial differences from the traditional classification (fortified settlement and group of unfortified rural settlements). Two sites can be defined as fortified settlements (Uchkakar and Kushmanskoye III), whereas Kushmanskoye II is an economic development area. The use of statistical analysis of multispectral imaging enabled us not only to confirm the previously proposed reconstruction, but also to substantiate the hypothesis about the initial boundaries and structure of the settlements.
A influência estrangeira nas políticas públicas para o campo- enfoque no centro-oeste
Authors: Oliveira Dias Denise , Miziara Fausto
Published: July 2022

Trata-se de um artigo de revisão bibliográfica narrativa sobre as principais políticas públicas adotadas no Brasil com vistas a favorecer o aumento produtivo do campo, qual seja, do agronegócio. O recorte espacial é a região Centro-Oeste, pelo fator do aumento produtivo da região desde a década de 1970, graças ao efeito da expansão da fronteira agrícola. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é apontar a influência estrangeira na formulação das principais políticas públicas destinadas ao centro-oeste, no que concerne ao aumento da produção agropecuária. O problema de pesquisa é ‘Nas tomadas de decisões são mais favorecidas as necessidades regionais, ou os interesses econômicos estrangeiros?’ Como resultados encontrados: 1) nas décadas de 1930-1950, a principal política pública para o aumento produtivo agrícola foi a ‘Marcha para o Oeste’ baseada em uma política norte-americana; 2) nas décadas de 1960-1980, por meio do “Acordo Básico de Cooperação Técnica Brasil- Japão” houve forte influência do Japão no formato das políticas públicas voltadas para a produção agropecuária; e 3) dentre as décadas de 1990-2010 há a participação do Banco Mundial nas políticas formuladas nesse período.
A eletromobilidade urbana: o desafio da bicicleta elétrica como modalidade de acesso a um direito fundamental social
Authors: Ferreira Rosa Angélica , Zanini de Sá Duarte Nunes Taís , Batista Márcio , Rodrigues de Sousa Dennys
Published: July 2022

A bicicleta é uma conhecida da humanidade, pelo menos desde o século XVIII Com sua concepção como a conhecemos vinda do século XIX, ela é um dos veículos utilizados do mundo. Possui entre os seus predicados não emitir gases de efeito estufa, ocupar pouquíssimo espaço físico em ambientes urbanos e beneficiar a saúde do ciclista. As tecnologias que possibilitaram a redução do tamanho de baterias estão permitindo uma evolução, que advém do surgimento das bicicletas eletroassistidas. Emenda constitucional recente acrescentou entre o rol dos direitos sociais o direito ao transporte, reconhecendo a importância desse direito-meio para a plena realização de outros direitos sociais. Desta forma, o direcionamento das políticas públicas voltadas ao transporte urbano aumentou a responsabilidade dos gestores governamentais na promoção do transporte aos cidadãos. Uma corrente de países desenvolvidos tem alcançado resultados satisfatórios com o incentivo ao uso de bicicletas eletroassistidas como alternativa viável de transporte urbano, com ganhos muito superiores aos custos de implantação. Neste cenário de necessidade da busca por alternativas ao modelo energético vigente e demanda de transporte de qualidade, o Brasil ainda tem uma participação pequena, com um modelo que segue na contramão do mundo. Assim, este artigo objetiva fazer uma exegese da evolução do direito ao transporte ao patamar de direito fundamental social e apresentar a bicicleta eletroassistida como um modal de transporte urbano sustentável passível de maior disseminação, desde que corrigidas algumas distorções que desaceleram um processo que é desejado e vantajoso para a sociedade brasileira.
No princípio era o trabalho… o trabalho como princípio educativo
Authors: Bif Orlando , Pasqualli Roberta
Published: July 2022

Esse artigo de revisão considera a escola situada num contexto que leva em conta sua relação com a sociedade, com a economia e com a política. Tem como objetivo discorrer sobre as relações entre a escola, a educação, o trabalho e o trabalho como princípio educativo. Foi elaborado numa abordagem qualitativa, produzido por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica envolvendo autores como Gramsci (2010), Monasta (2010), Manacorda (2007), Frigotto (2005), Saviani (2007) entre outros. A produção teórica ocorreu por meio da análise de publicações científicas em periódicos e livros que abordam o tema. A concepção de educação aqui abraçada considera o trabalho - em suas múltiplas dimensões - como princípio educativo e categoria central da sociedade, eixo indiscutível dos currículos escolares. Considera-se, também, que a formação politécnica e omnilateral é um fim a ser alcançado na educação profissional e que a técnica é instrumento e não ente substantivo. A base deste projeto unitário, ao valorizar o direito de transpor a dualidade entre as formações, contém a compreensão do trabalho em seu duplo sentido: ontológico e histórico. Julga-se fundamental que sejam realizados estudos empíricos que dialoguem com as teorias acerca do trabalho como princípio educativo, especialmente nos cursos de formação técnica e profissional.
Reflexões sobre o legado de Paulo Freire e a EPT: metodologias ativas para práticas educativas
Authors: Budim Lopes Camila , Reis Gomes Iza
Published: July 2022

Propõe-se neste artigo suscitar reflexões sobre a relação dos pensamentos de Paulo Freire com a Educação Profissional Tecnológica (EPT), principalmente no que diz respeito às práticas didático-pedagógicas, de modo que, apresentam-se as metodologias ativas como práticas educativas aplicadas na EPT para uma formação integral. A metodologia incidiu à pesquisa qualitativa e refere-se a um estudo de revisão da literatura, cujo lastro teórico aporta-se nas ideias de estudiosos como Freire (1977; 2001; 2004; 2008; 2014), Delizoicov (1983; 1991; 2005), Araújo e Tavares (2003), Libâneo (2003), Guimarães (2009), Streck, Redin e Zitkoski (2010), Manfredi (2010), Frigotto e Ciavatta (2012), Bacich e Morán (2015), Acosta (2016), Bergmann e Sams (2016), Bacich e Moran (2018), Valente (2018) e Bastos (2020). Como resultado, defende-se que as bases teóricas da EPT têm relação com os ideais de uma educação libertadora, dialógica e democrática de Paulo Freire que direcionam para uma prática de ensino fundamentada na formação humana integral. Sustenta-se que as ações pedagógicas na EPT para a formação integral necessitam considerar o currículo de forma integrada, adotando o trabalho como princípio educativo, a pesquisa como princípio pedagógico, a contextualização e a problematização como princípios metodológicos. Nessa direção, destacam-se as metodologias ativas na qual o aluno assume o papel de protagonista, para uma formação consciente, social e humana, que vai ao encontro dos fundamentos histórico-ontológicos da relação trabalho-educação. Conclui-se que a EPT, ancorada nos ideais de Paulo Freire, deve ter como horizonte a consolidação de uma proposta educacional contra-hegemônica, que vincula educação e trabalho numa perspectiva humanizada.
O ensino de geografia em tempos de pandemia: reflexões sobre o trabalho docente
Authors: Richard de Paulo Jacks , Maris Mendes Siqueira Araújo Stela , De Oliveira Pereira Daniela , Oliveira Priscila
Published: July 2022

Os momentos de pandemia, em geral, impõem novas regras e hábitos à sociedade. No contexto atual, a pandemia da Covid-19 tem sido um momento caracterizado por intensos desafios, o que tem provocado diversas reflexões por parte de pesquisadores no interior de seus grupos de pesquisa, principalmente, no que se refere às práticas docentes durante o Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE). Nesse sentido, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi de refletir sobre o uso das tecnologias digitais e das estratégias metodológicas contempladas por professores de geografia para promoverem o processo de ensino e de aprendizagem no ERE. A metodologia que auxiliou na busca dos objetivos foi a quantitativa/qualitativa, em que os dados foram obtidos por meio de um questionário semiestruturado online, organizado com o intuito de identificar o perfil de formação inicial e continuada dos docentes no que se refere à formação para lidar com as tecnologias; conhecer sobre a infraestrutura que possuem e as estratégias metodológicas adotadas durante o ERE. Nessa pesquisa houve a participação de professores da referida área de conhecimento e que atuam em cursos Técnicos Integrados do Instituto Federal de Minas Gerais (IFMG). Os dados da pesquisa revelaram que há um descompasso entre o uso das tecnologias e de metodologias, pois, muitas vezes, embasam-se em propostas inovadoras e ativas, mas culminam em mera reprodução de metodologias tidas como tradicionais. Por fim, percebeu-se que utilizar ferramentas tecnológicas nos processos de ensino, de aprendizagem e de construção de conhecimento demandam repensar amplamente sobre o saber fazer pedagógico docente.
The use of digital devices as a risk factor for the health of schoolchildren and students: literature review
Authors: Ivanova Larisa Y.
Published: July 2022

The review reflects the research of specialists in the field of hygiene on the problem of the impact of the use of digital devices on the health of schoolchildren and students (the research used the survey method and medical methods). The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that, firstly, the child and adolescent population and young people have become active users of TS, and secondly, the emerging body of adolescents and especially children is more susceptible to external negative influences. Another important reason is the intensification and digitalization of the educational process. The review presents works that study: 1) the impact of the use of CU by students on their well-being and the appearance of complaints (from the side of vision, musculoskeletal system, nervous system, etc.) and on their morbidity; 2) the knowledge of students about hygiene recommendations and their assessment of the health risks of uncontrolled use of CU; 3) the prevalence of the use of CU that creates health risks. Statistically significant links were found between the increase in the duration of the use of CU and the appearance of various complaints about the state of health in schoolchildren and students. The risks to health are shown with frequent use of various data centers. It is noted that there is a need for state measures aimed at preserving the health of students in the digital environment and the participation of all socialization institutions in the formation of healthy lifestyle skills and the safe use of TSU in the younger generation. The review may be of interest to specialists in the field of health sociology.

Authors: Nazarenko G. I. , Rukhmanov A. A.
Published: July 2022

It is shown that radio-frequency denervation (RFD) is one of the most economical and effective methods for the treatment of pain syndrome in degenerative spine diseases. Innervation of different elements of spine segments as well as theoretical grounding of RFD application is given. The first experience of RFD use is summarized and analyzed. The technique of RFD for the treatment of discogenic and arthrogenic spine pathology at different levels is described (41 patients). It is shown that RFD can be considered as a palliative treatment method. Stability of RFD effect, possibility of repeated course make this method attractive to both the physicians and patients. RFD differs from all known noninvasive methods by its high efficacy and by its safety when compared with the invasive ones.

Comparative study of the apparatus of the cruciate ligaments of the knee joint. I. Tetrapods with lateral limbs
Authors: Nikitin V. B. , Mironov S. P. , Lisitsyn M. P. , Makarov A. N. , Gulimova V. I. , Saveliev S. V.
Published: July 2022

The principal function of the menisci is probably connected with the sliding movements during the rotation of the tibia along the long axis. In tetrapods the central position of the cruciate ligament apparatus should be probably primitive while the medial position of this apparatus is derived. In the line of frog-turtle-lizard-human the histological structure of the cruciate ligament shows a tendency to increase the mechanical durability based on the organization of fibers. Tetrapods with lateral limbs have no neural tissue within the cruciate ligaments unlike the human ones.
Proprioceptive function of the cruciate complex of the knee joint (literature review)
Authors: Andreeva T. M. , Lisitsyn M. P.
Published: July 2022

The question of the role of proprioceptive sensitivity in ensuring the normal kinematics of the joints, including the knee, has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers in recent decades. The position on the significance of intra-articular receptors and the concept of proprioception are not new [2, 3]. At the end of the 19th century, Duchenne was one of the first to point out the clinical significance of articular sensitivity. The term "proprioception" was introduced by Sherrington in 1906 [57]. Abbott et al. [4] and Gardner [27] found that the ligaments of the knee joint have a rich sensory innervation that acts as the first link in the kinematic chain. Abbott noted that the impulses that arise in the ligaments are transmitted through the central nervous system to the muscles and this allows you to establish normal, uniform, coordinated movements. Pathologically strong impulses arising from excessive stretching of the ligaments cause contraction of the conjugate muscle group, thereby preventing damage to the soft tissue component of the knee joint.

In 107 cases there were inflammatory complications of varying degrees in post-traumatic/ operative periods. Dynamics of succinic and a-glycerophosphate dehydrogenases was atudied, along with other parameters of immune competence. Inflammatory complications were associated with a decrease in lymphocytic dehydrogenase activity. There was also a correlation between the indices of immune reactivity and the status of the lymphocytic dehydrogenase enzymes. Metabolic medication maintained dehydrogenase activity and decreased the risk of post-traumatic and post-operative inflammatory complications.
The case of surgical treatment of a victim with an injury to the common carotid artery
Authors: Shirko N. G. , Mikhailets G. M.
Published: July 2022

Diagnosis of vascular injuries is sometimes very difficult. You should always remember about the possibility of such injuries, taking into account: the location of the wound (N.I. Pirogov also pointed out the value of this diagnostic feature), data on bleeding after injury, the degree of developed anemia, the presence, absence or weakening of the pulsation of the artery distal to the injury site , noise phenomena during auscultation, the presence or absence of a hematoma in the wound area, pain and paresthesia on the side of the wound, as well as ischemic contractures. The main danger in vascular injuries is bleeding, the intensity of which depends on the size of the wound and the defect in the vessel wall. The most dangerous are wide ruptures of large vessels, which include the common carotid artery.

Authors: Mikhailov E. E. , Benevolenskaya L. I. , Mylov N. M.
Published: July 2022

The incidence of spine fractures was studied in population selection of 50 years old persons and older. The study was conducted as a part of the European Program on Spine Osteoporosis. There were 521 patients (221 men,300 women) aged 50 years and older. The fractures were evaluated by lateral radiograms of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Morphologic analysis of the main heights of T4 -L4 with the estimation of the vertebral deformity indices were carried out. Fractures were evaluated using 25% level by Felsenberg. In 414 patients (173 men,241 women) morphometric analysis of radiograms was performed. The rate of spine fractures was 11,8% (14.5% - in men,10.0% - in women, with no statistically significant differences). Wedged fractures were the most frequent ones (13.3% in men,12.4% - in women), then pressed fractures (3.5% in men,5.8% in women) and compressed ones (4.0% in men,0.4% in women) with statistically significant prevalence in men (p 0.05). This study is the first work in Russia related to the incidence of spine fractures in population selection of 50 years and older persons who are at risk of osteochondrosis development.
Total spondylectomy in spine tumors
Authors: Ardashev I. P.
Published: July 2022

Total spondylectomy was performed in 19 patients from 1970 to 1995. Sixteen had malignant primary or metastatic spinal tumors and 3 had benign. In 2 patients resections were done in one stage, but the remainder required a 2 stage procedure. The first stage included posterior segment resection, cord decompression and stabilizaion with metallic fixators and bone graft. The second stage completed resection of the vertebral body(ies), decompression of the anterior cord and stabilization. Benign tumor cases were stabilized with autografts. Malignant tumor cases were stabilized with porous Nickel Titanic prosthesis or Titanic prosthesis (authors device). Three patients with benign tumors are alive. Sixteen patients with malignant tumors died. Mean survival time was 7.6 months. In malignant tumor cases neither one stage nor two stage total spondylectomy increases the survival rate but significantly improves the quality of life.

Published: July 2022

The work is based on the analysis of treatment results of 52 scoliotic patients, aged 7-14 years. All patients were treated at the rehabilitation center for children with locomotor disorders. 14 patients had the 1st degree of scoliosis, 21 - lst-2nd degree, 13 - 2nd degree and 4 children - 2nd-3rd degree. Prior to and after treatment all patient were subjected to complex examination including the evaluation of their condition by clinical numbered scale, electromyography, apparatus evaluation of tonus, contact thermometry. In various groups of patients the main therapeutic course was supplemented with the seances of biocontrol with feedback, acupuncture, magnetic pulse stimulation, expanded physiotherapeutic course in various combinations. Authors conclude that clinical numbered scale supplemented with several indices may be used in clinical practice. Entering on the curative complex the methods which contribute to the improvement of circulation and metabolism processes with following use of biocontrol with feedback by EMG will allow to raise the efficacy of scoliotic disease treatment.

Results of examination and treatment of patients with polytrauma complicated by deep vein thrombosis of lower extrimities (DVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) are presented. Proximal deep vein thrombosis was confirmed by Doppler. PTE developed on week 2 after trauma in patients with asymptomatic DVT. For timely diagnosis of DVT and prevention of PTE in patients with polytrauma it is necessary to perform Doppler of lower extrimities 12 times a week within 24 weeks after trauma and for 24 weeks after surgical interventions on long bones and pelvic bones. In patients with PTE the implantation cava-filter allowed to avoid lethal outcomes and PTE relapse. The application of low molecular weight heparin allowed to increase the efficacy ofprevention and treatment of thrombotic complications in patients with polytrauma.

Comparative analysis of sonographic and morphologic assessment in formation of Baker's cyst has been performed. There were 25 patients with gonarthrosis lasted 5.6 + years. In development of Bakers cyst 3 periods were defined. Each period is characterized by structural changes caused by cyst development age and gonarthrosis stage. The period has specific quantitative and qualitative patterns of cyst wall and content. Ultrasound diagnosis of cyst structural development was reliably verified by histologic data. Ultrasound assessment of synovial masses in popliteal area allows to differentiate Bakers cyst with other pathologic processes in deforming knee arthrosis of different genesis. Accurate definition of structural cyst development periods is useful for the detection of indications for cyst extirpation.

Published: July 2022

Results of biomechanic examination of walking in healthy individuals and patients with ICP before and after treatment using dynamic proprioceptive correction are presented. The patients with ICP had different forms of the disease: spastic, hemiplegic, hyperkinetic and atonic-ataxic. The following features of walking were studied: range and volume of flexor-extensor motion in hip, knee and ankle joints as well as time characteristics of step cycle. Data obtained showed common and individual signs of gait disturbance depending on the form of ICP. In author's opinion the possible mechanism of walking disturbance in patients with ICP was pathological change of motion stereotype and that disturbed motion stereotype was normalized using dynamic proprioceptive correction. Biomechanic examination of walking allows to provide the differentiation of various forms of ICP as well as to evaluate the locomotor function changes in the course of treatment.

Published: July 2022

Twenty six human abortive embryons (6-13.5 weeks of prenatal development) were for the study of cruciate complex embryonal differentiation. Serial histological mounts (812 mkm) were prepared from leg fragments with knee joint. Mallory, hematoxylin-eosine and antibody for collagen III were used for staining. Human cruciate complex appears in embryons at 6-6.5 weeks of development. It differentiates from the mesenchyme lying between tibia and fibula. Starting from 8.5-9 weeks the anterior and double-component posterior ligaments, which begin to vascularize on the surface, can be distinguished. At the age of 13 weeks both components of posterior ligament fuse and the complex itself starts to vascularize throughout the whole mass.

[Abstract] The 6th International Workshop on Rock Physics (6IWRP) was held A Coruña, Spain, between 13th and 17th of June, 2022. This meeting follows the track of the five successful encounters held in Golden (USA, 2011), Southampton (UK, 2013), Perth (Australia, 2015), Trondheim (Norway, 2017) and Hong Kong (China, 2019). The aim of the workshop was to bring together experiences allowing to illustrate, discuss and exchange recent advances in the wide realm of rock physics, including theoretical developments, in situ and laboratory scale experiments as well as digital analysis. While rock physics is at the core of the oil & gas industry applications, it is also essential to enable the energy transition challenge (e.g. CO2 and H2 storage, geothermal), ensure a safe and adequate use of natural resources and develop efficient waste management strategies. The topics of 6IWRP covered a broad spectrum of rock physics-related research activities, including: • Experimental rock physics. New techniques, approaches and applications; Characterization of the static and dynamic properties of rocks and fluids; Multiphysics measurements (NMR, electrical resistivity…); Deep/crustal scale rock physics. • Modelling and multiscale applications: from the lab to the field. Numerical analysis and model development; Data science applications; Upscaling; Microseismicity and earthquakes; Subsurface stresses and tectonic deformations. • Coupled phenomena and rock properties: exploring interactions. Anisotropy; Flow and fractures; Temperature effects; Rock-fluid interaction; Fluid and pressure effects on geophysical signatures. • The energy transition challenge. Applications to energy storage (hydrogen storage in porous media), geothermal resources, energy production (gas hydrates), geological utilization and storage of CO2, nuclear waste disposal. • Rock physics templates: advances and applications. Quantitative assessment; Applications to reser voir characterization (role of seismic wave anisotropy and fracture networks). • Advanced rock physics tools. Machine learning; application of imaging (X-ray CT, X-ray μCT, FIB-SEM…) to obtain rock proper ties. This book compiles more than 50 abstracts, summarizing the works presented in the 6IWRP by rock physicists from all over the world, belonging to both academia and industry.

Published: July 2022

The study objective was to evaluate the efficiency of using technology focusing on the thermal comfort of broilers in two poultry houses located in the metropolitan region of Teresina, Northeast Brazil, with different technological levels. One level uses cooling control of the housing and adopts high management of good production practices (Tech 1), while the second (Tech 2) was considered to use deficient technology during production. We analyzed the birds' surface temperature and the environment using infrared surface temperature data. Data were collected at a mean distance of 1 m from the birds using an infrared camera to construct the thermograms on the targets (broilers and surroundings). Data were processed using thermograms, and Boxplot graphs were built. It was found that broilers housed on the farm with higher environmental control (Tech1) obtained a better feed conversion and had more significant weight gain and greater profitability. This indicates that the greater the investment to mitigate heat stress, the better the producer's economic performance in this activity.

Purpose: To evaluate the longitudinal change of intra-tumoral susceptibility signal (ITSS) on high-resolution SWI as an adjunctive imaging tool to evaluate treatment response of brain metastasis following stereotactic radiosurgery. This approach will allow further stratification of the patients and guide clinical decision making. Methods: An IRB approved retrospective study included 63 brain metastatic lesions within 49 patients (33 females and 16 males) who have undergone stereotactic radiosurgery with at least one follow-up MRI and available clinical data. The average age was 63.17 years (±1.48, ranged from 34-83 years). The longitudinal change in ITSS was categorized into 3 groups; increased, stable and decreased. The treatment response of each lesion was evaluated according to the longitudinal change in size, enhancement and susceptibility at the baseline and follow-up MRIs. Chi-square test was used to compare differences in categorical variables. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of including longitudinal change in ITSS with size and enhancement pattern in determining the treatment response following SRS. Results: Our results demonstrated higher sensitivity and specificity when including longitudinal change in ITSS with size and enhancement for the evaluation of the treatment response of brain metastatic lesions treated with SRS. There was statistically significant difference between the different ITSS and enhancement patterns at baseline and follow-up MRIs (Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test (p = .000, and .003) respectively. The multiparametric analysis of the longitudinal change in size, contrast enhancement, and ITSS in the evaluation of treatment response in the follow-up MRIs, showed that the sensitivity and specificity significantly improved (AUC 0.953). Conclusion: High resolution SWI can contribute as an imaging biomarker with supplemental information for monitoring treatment and predicting treatment response. High resolution SWI can complement the standard contrast enhanced T1 images to evaluate treatment response with a multiparametric MRI approach.
Tanning Salons and Melanoma Risk
Authors: Hoel David
Published: July 2022

There has been considerable debate concerning melanoma risk associated with the use of commercial tanning salons. In this review we examine the current state of the scientific evidence on this subject as well as whether use of tanning salons confers any health benefit. We conclude that there is no persuasive evidence that use of commercial tanning salons is associated with increased risk of melanoma, that there is significant evidence that use of commercial tanning salons is associated with decreased risk of melanoma, and that use of commercial tanning salons confers a significant health benefit.
