THM analysis of argillaceous rocks with application to nuclear waste underground storage
Authors: Tourchi Saeed
Published: February 2023

Argillaceous rocks (Stiff sedimentary clays) provide the geological background to many civil engineering projects. In recent years, interest in these types of material has increased, because they are being considered as potential host geological media for underground repositories of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). The possible use of these types of clay as geological hosts for radioactive waste has prompted the construction of several underground laboratories. Among the very different topics addressed in the Underground Research Laboratories (URLs), the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of the host rock is the one that most concerns the present research. In situ observations have revealed a considerable number of coupled THM processes in the operation of an HLW repository.In this context, the main objective of the present study is to describes the performance, observations and interpretation of the full-scale in situ heating test conducted on Callovo-Oxfordian (COx) claystone in the Meuse / Haute-Marne URL simulating a heat-emitting, high-level radioactive waste disposal concept. The test is fully instrumented, and attention is focused on the near-field region's the THM behaviour consisting of the sleeve surrounding the heater and the host rock. The interpretation of the test is assisted by the performance of a coupled numerical analysis based on a coupled formulation incorporating the relevant THM phenomena. The calculations have used a reference isothermal constitutive model especially developed for this type of material. The reference model later has been extended to non-isothermal condition by incorporating thermal dependency of strength parameters and stiffness. The thermomechanical model has been successfully used in the simulation of triaxial tests on COx claystone. The numerical analysis performed has proved able to represent the progress of the experiment very satisfactorily. The performance and analysis of the in-situ test has significantly enhanced the understanding of a complex THM problem and have proved the capability of the numerical formulation and non-isothermal constitutive model to provide adequate predictive capacity.

Published: February 2023

Pure Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) film and PVA polymer film/ Rhodamine 6G(Rh6G) dye film in different volume ratios of (6, 12,18, 24 and 30) ml of Rh6G were prepared via casting method. The addition of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) and Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles as a filler to the polymer matrix. The results demonstrated that there was a 10 nm red shift in the absorption spectra of Rh6G in PVA/ Rh6G polymer matrix due to add doping ratio of Rh6G dye solution to the transparent PVA matrix. Also, there was a 5 nm red shift in polymer matrix filled with Al2O3 NPs; this means that Al2O3 NPs absorb the water and that consequently enhance the optical properties of polymer matrix. The intensity of Rh6G doped PVA polymer film was seen to be enhanced when adding MgO NPs or Al2O3 NPs, noted that intensity of adding Al2O3 NPs more than it when adding MgO NP. The electronic transition was found to be π→π*.

Authors: Rijal Nirajan
Published: February 2023

Large proportion of the Nepalese citizens are emigrating from own country in search of better employment opportunities and prosperity. The study aims to assess causes and consequences of emigration particularly in Changunarayan Municipality of Bhaktapur district. The study employed case study research design followed by quantitative and qualitative approaches of data collection. The required data are collected from randomly selected 50 HHs residing in four settlements (i.e. Chagunarayan, Jhaukhel, Duwakot and Chhaling) of the municipality ward number four. This study found that unemployment, difficulties in transportation, attraction towards foreign countries, perverting other people from neighbor, disrespect to owns' occupation, wanting to earn more are the major causes of emigration. The emigrants are enjoying in the destinations with various facilities and they are able to improve the living standard of their family members and prosperity. The emigrants' household members get an opportunity to spend a considerable portion of their family income in child education, health treatment and also for buying land property. The availability of communication facilities, adjustments in native people's way of life and achieving better social status have been noted as other positive outcomes of the emigration. However, emigration of youth people also has negatively affected social and cultural structures in the study area. The festivals are compelled to celebrating by less active group member in the community with less enjoyment and excitement. Even the returned migrate people are not giving interest in the social and cultural and religious festivals. This might be reason that most people have feeling that one should develop the own area rather than migrating to other areas. Therefore, local government need to become responsive and responsible in addressing the negative consequences of emigration as far as possible.

Do High School Teachers Alter Classroom Practice Due to Evaluation? Evidence From North Carolina’s Career Status and Teacher Evaluation Policies
Authors: Frasier Amanda Slaten
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study is to determine if teachers perceive evaluation as providing the motivation and feedback to change classroom practices in a context where teacher evaluation carries varied stakes for tenured versus untenured teachers. This mixed methods case study of four high schools in a single district in North Carolina uses survey and interview data collected from teachers in the 2016–2017 school year to explore teacher perceptions and examine differences between career (tenured) and probationary (untenured) teachers. A conceptual framework is developed utilizing research on how teachers changed practice based on other accountability initiatives. The overall sample of teachers did not perceive the evaluation policy to be high stakes or impacting their practice; however, there were statistically significant differences between the perceptions of tenured teachers and untenured teachers on the survey. Interview statements supported the quantitative findings. The results highlight a need for a better understanding of how evaluation policies may influence teacher practice, particularly among those who have limited career protections, including beginning teachers who lack tenure.
A Global Survey of the Views of Practicing Companion Animal Veterinarians on Their Undergraduate Curriculum and Their Access to Continuing Education Resources
Authors: Endenburg Nienke , van Lith Hein A.
Published: February 2023

A global survey was developed to gain insight into the opinion of companion animal veterinarians about their undergraduate education and their access to continuing education on the following topics: client communication, animal welfare, surgical techniques, human–animal bond, dentistry, animal behavior, and zoonotic disease/epidemiology. In 2016, the survey was distributed via SurveyMonkey® in five languages to companion animal veterinarians around the world. A total of 1,167 respondents returned the survey. The distribution of survey responses differed by geographic region (number of respondents in parentheses; where respondents work/have been trained): Europa (including the Russian Federation, 359/423), Asia (311/205), North America (77/89), South America (24/16), Africa (46/41), and Oceania (147/167). The results were strongly influenced by a large number of respondents (in parentheses) who graduated in the Russian Federation (180/162), Australia (133/154), Israel (136/82), the Netherlands (64/64), the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (36/46), and the United States of America (46/44). On the basis of the responses, all topics were poorly covered or not taught, except for surgical techniques and zoonotic disease/epidemiology, which were covered adequately or well. However, there were country and geographic regional differences. This was also true for continuing education resources, which were—in addition to countries and geographic regions—also influenced by the educational topic. As already stated by Dhein and Menon in 2003, time away from the practice, travel distance, and expense may be reasons why companion animal veterinarians do not follow continuing education. Online continuing education could fill in the gap and is more time and cost-efficient.

Authors:   , Carvalho Francisca Maria Cosme de
Published: February 2023

The significant expansion of captivity shrimp production by shrimp farming enterprises on the coast of Piauí has several contradictory results. Despite the relevant economic performance, several negative environmental and social impacts compromise the sustainability of the territory's economic activity. One of the causes of this phenomenon is connected to the fact that researches on shrimp production in captivity in national and international scenarios prioritize the understanding of environmental impacts, seeking to measure the damage caused in the environment while ignoring aspects of social communities. The cultural changes, from local traditions, of fishing communities’ lives, make clear the need for a more and amplified systematic relationship of these enterprises with local development. An instrument that can contribute to overcoming these challenges is the Social Impact Assessment (SIA), which defends the efforts to maximize the positive and minimize the negative impacts of public or private development projects can be realized and even Enhanced with the use of methods that deeply evaluate the processes of social changes to promote sustainable local development. Based on an interrelationship perspective between the theory field, local development, and the SIA, this research sought to answer the question: what are the social impacts of shrimp farming and its relationship with local development projects? The aim was to analyze the social impacts of shrimp farming and its relationship with the impacts of local development projects. The methodological procedures included the selection of two case studies on the coast of Piaui, which privileged interviews with stakeholders, documental analysis, and data analysis. The data was analyzed using the categories taken from literature, and data analysis (BARDIN, 2004), after the organization and refinement of coding of it through Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS), NVivo. The results show that shrimp farming enterprises produce impacts in economic, institutional, environmental, and social categories. Communities perceive these impacts but evaluate that the counterpart of the income and job creation generated by the enterprises could be more effective. Considering the persistence of low indices such as HDI-M and schooling, the contribution of enterprises is conceived as ineffective

Authors:   Banking University, Holovach Marko
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Introduction. The article examines the functioning of the stock exchange during martial law in the country. Measures taken by the state to secure the national securities market are analyzed. Paid attention to the issue of the origin, issuance, and redemption of a "new" type of domestic state loan bonds for Ukraine, the so-called "military bonds". Has been studied the issue of stopping the circulation of financial instruments and carrying out transactions as a justified mechanism only for a short and planned period, in particular, to minimize the influence of residents of the aggressor state, which in modern conditions of digitalization does not require significant technical efforts, but only the political will of the regulator. Purpose. The issues of the functioning of economies and the securities market have already become the subject of research by many researchers. In addition, economists are focused on the global impact of the war on the world economy, the leading financial markets, and the cost of energy carriers - on the threats of the world food crisis. However, due to the locality and relatively small volume of the Ukrainian securities market, the issue of influence on it during military operations in Ukraine did not find interest among scientists. Results. Were considered the level of sufficiency of the grounds for stopping the circulation of state securities in war conditions and the mechanisms for reducing risks by the state were analyzed, as well as the interests of the owners of state securities in preventing the price of domestic debt securities from falling in connection with the war. Was briefly investigated the question of the impact of Russia's war against Ukraine on the world securities markets, as well as a historical overview of the impact of previous wars on the securities markets, was made. The consequences of the current restrictions on the circulation of financial instruments and current activities of institutional investors in capital markets and certain sectors of the economy are highlighted. Conclusions. It was found that the permission to circulate only a small part of state securities, so-called "military bonds" is insufficient for investment activities, diversification of risks of financial portfolios, and satisfaction of the demand of individuals and legal entities, which under such a framework can resort to investments in assets that are beyond regulatory limits or not regulated by law.

Authors:   University of Customs and Finance, Koliada Svitlana
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Introduction. The article examines the relationship between personal stress and possible consequences for the team and the organization. The consequences of stress at the organizational level are expressed in absenteeism, employee dissatisfaction with their work, and staff turnover. Purpose. The state of tension that arises in a person under the influence of stressors causes a clash of sides, thoughts and forces. Conflicts arise in all teams and organizations. The very process of solving any conflicts causes changes in personal, organizational or social life, which are always met with resistance by the individual. Results. The proposed classification of types of stress depending on the source of stress. The main strategies for eliminating stressors are substantiated. For example, key strategies for dealing with confrontational stressors are cooperation and developing emotional intelligence. Thanks to the development of emotional intelligence, the amount of stress and conflicts decreases, the level of cooperation increases, and more effective interpersonal relationships are established. The article analyzes the causes and dynamics of the development of conflict situations arising on the basis of the stressful state of the individual. Managing personal stress is one of the most important leadership skills. It is necessary to understand the essence of conflicts, to know the types of conflicts, to be able to diagnose the type of conflict, to choose the optimal conflict management strategy, to be able to transform a relationship conflict into a conflict related to a task or process. It is determined that the process of resolving any conflicts causes changes, be it in personal, organizational or social life. It was found that the main obstacle on the way of organizational development is non-acceptance of changes and resistance to changes on the part of people, since the very exit from the usual comfort zone already causes resistance. Conclusions. The leader must be ready for resistance to change from the employees, because the reasons for resistance are: threat to personal interests, uncertainty, disagreement in views and goals. The article proposes the main ways to overcome such resistance, namely: training and counseling, participation and involvement, assistance and support, negotiations and agreements.

Published: February 2023

Hip dysplasia (HD) is a degenerative and orthopedic disease resulting from the abnormal development of the hip, of hereditary origin and affects mainly dogs of large or giant breeds. In addition, environmental and nutritional factors influence the expression of this disease and the severity of the disorder, compromising the animal's development. The present work aims to report the use of acupuncture directed to the treatment of HD in dogs, in order to activate the anti-inflammatory processes and promote desensitization of the area. For this, the neural impulses access the central nervous system (CNS) and provide recovery of the balance of vigor in the body structure. The clinical signs resulting from malformation of the hip joint are intense pain in the hip joint, reduced range of motion, and may evolve to mobility loss and claudication. The diagnosis is confirmed with clinical evaluation and imaging tests. The protocol directed to the treatment of the disease was based on the strengthening of the spine, the hip region and the lumbosacral spine, through the method of acupuncture with the implantation of gold globules, in order to promote the reestablishment of muscle strength and, consequently, improvement of motor activities, reduction of pain and local inflammation. This treatment offers a better cost-benefit ratio, besides being a less invasive method compared to surgical procedures. Although there are still few reports on veterinary acupuncture in the treatment of hip dysplasia, in this study we observed the efficacy and positive evolution of the clinical condition of the animal submitted to this integrative therapy.

The purpose of this study was to carry out an epidemiological analysis of Visceral Leishmaniasis cases registered by the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN-DATASUS) in Brazil between the years 2011 and 2020. The variables verified were: year, region of notification, gender, age group, and disease progression. In the time range studied, 34,386 cases were registered in the Brazilian territory. The year 2017 stood out with the highest number of cases: 4,462, and 2020 presented the lowest number: 1,908. Such variations proved to be related to global climatic and epidemiological events: 2017 was evaluated as the 3rd hottest year in history by the North American Entity NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration), with the consulted literature pointing to relations of growth in the incidence of high temperature climatic events. The year 2020 faced the COVID-19 pandemic break-out. There was a predominance of cases in the Northeast (54.96%), followed by the Southeast (18.67%), North (18.05%), Midwest (8.01%) and South (0.31%). The gender variable shows a predominance of incidence of 65.08% in males and 34.91% in females, which is compatible with the literature. Another parameter that remains within the literature is the age group, where the highest incidence in the 1-4 age group was 23.77%, remaining a disease that severely affects children. The percentages found are in line with the literature and the disease has changed its spread in the Northeast region of the country from about 90% to 55% in two decades, still remaining the most affected region of the country. The disease appears to be more widespread and urban in current studies. There are new and efficient multidisciplinary resources – pharmacological, geographic, climatic and environmental – which, if continued, expanded, and articulated, can strengthen the fight against this serious harm to human health.

Natural dyestuffs, which took the place of synthetic dyestuffs in the past, have started to be used consciously again thanks to the increasing understanding of 'environmentally friendly textile'. These natural dyestuffs are mostly obtained from plants or food waste. Coffee is the most consumed nutrient in the world after water. Therefore, there is a lot of waste of coffee in nature and it contains pigments that give it its natural color. In this study, products with different fiber contents (100% cotton, 98% cotton 2% elastane, 80% cotton 20% recycled cotton) were dyed using coffee waste, and different mordant substances (aluminum sulfate, chitosan, quetemary ammonium compounds). It has been tried to reduce the amount of coffee waste used by dyeing with coffee wastes at different rates by weight (1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1). Thus, it is aimed to provide less waste to the environment and to increase the color efficiency by making a more sustainable dyeing process. In addition, it is aimed to give a new direction to the denim sector by improving the rubbing and washing fastness values of dyed products. As a result of the studies, products with a product weight/coffee waste weight ratio of 8/1 were obtained with high crocking and washing fastnesses and without major losses in color tone.

African leaves (Vernonia amygdalina Del) is a plant that can be used as a medicinal plant because it contains flavonoid compounds that are effective as natural antioxidants that can suppress free radicals. The purpose of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity of the purified extract of Vernonia amygdalina Del. Antioxidant activity test of purified extract of Vernonia amygdalina Del leaves against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) was measured with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 516nm using Vitamin C as a comparison. The results of the non-specific parameters of Vernonia amygdalina Del leaf Simplicia were drying shrinkage of 0.79±0.02%; water content of 7.33±2.08%; water-soluble essence content of 20.5±1.73 %; and ethanol of 14.5±4.35 %. The results of purified extract screening of Vernonia amygdalina Del leaves, contained chemical compounds, namely the class of flavonoid compounds, tannin compounds, steroid compounds, and saponin compounds. Testing for flavonoids using the Thin Layer Chromatography method on the purified extract contained two spots with Rf values of 0.68 and 0.5 while in quercetin there was one spot with an Rf value of 0.68, thus the purified extract of Vernonia amygdalina Del leaves contained flavonoids. Vernonia amygdalina Del leaf purified extract has a very strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 13.54±0.10 µg/mL. The results showed that the purified extract of Vernonia amygdalina Del leaves had very strong antioxidant activity.

Late antiviral treatment can potentially cause the Covid-19 virus to replicate very quickly, so it is necessary to understand antiviral drugs and optimize treatment for Covid-19 patients. The study aimed to determine the correlation between the severity, speed of administration of antivirals, and the recovery time of Covid-19 patients. This type of research is an observational study with retrospective data collection on 94 Covid-19 medical records at “X” Hospital Cirebon from 316 populations in June-July 2021 according to inclusion criteria. The data analysis used was univariate and bivariate using Spearman's Rho. The 55–59-year age group (28.7%) was the most infected with Covid-19. There are more males than females (52.1% vs 47.9%). Favipiravir therapy (43.6%) was given the most. Moderate severity (74.5%) had the highest proportion. The speed of administration of antivirals was most initiated at 5-8 days (42.6%) after the onset of symptoms. The maximum recovery time for Covid-19 patients is 13-18 days (58.5%). A strong positive correlation between the speed of giving antivirals to the recovery time of Covid-19 patients (sig. 0.000) and the correlation coefficient of 0.659. Does not show a correlation between the severity of recovery time (sig. 0.113) and speed of antiviral administration to the severity of Covid-19 patients (sig. 0.297). There is a correlation between the early antiviral treatment and the recovery time of Covid-19 patients; the earlier antiviral therapy is given, the faster it will heal.

Banjir yang pada hakekatnya proses alamiah dapat menjadi bencana bagi manusia bila proses itu menyebabkan korban jiwa dan kerugian materi. Berasarkan Data Informasi Bencana Indonesia (DIBI), sejak Tahun 2010 hingga 2021 tercatat bahwa di Kabupaten Kolaka mengalami 44 kejadian bencana. Bencana yang pernah terjadi yaitu banjir,  banjir di kecamatan Pomalaa ini terjadi setiap tahun  ketika intensitas curah hujan tinggi. Secara geografis, Kecamatan Pomalaa terletak antara 4⁰10’00” hingga 4⁰27’25″ LS dan 121⁰31’30″ hingga 121⁰39’03″ BT dengan luas wilayah yaitu 231,47 km. Untuk memberikan informasi terkait bencana banjir di Kecamatan Pomalaa tentu sangat diperlukan pemetaan tentang daerah yang mempunyai kerawanan banjir. Pemetaan daerah-daerah yang memiliki tingkat bahaya banjir perlu dilakukan agar pemerintah dapat mengambil kebijakan yang tepat untuk menanggulanginya. Pemanfaatan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) merupakan salah satu cara dalam proses pemetaan,termasuk pembuatan peta kerawanan banjir. Kerawanan banjir dapat diidentifikasi secara cepat, mudah dan akurat melalui Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) dengan menggunakan metode overlay terhadap parameter parameter banjir, seperti : kemiringan lereng, ketinggian lahan, jenis tanah, curah hujan, penggunaan lahan dan buffering sungai. Melalui Sistem Informasi Geografis diharapkan akan mempermudah penyajian informasi spasial khususnya yang terkait dengan penentuan tingkat kerentanan banjir serta dapat menganalisis dan memperoleh informasi baru dalam mengidentifikasi daerah-daerah yang sering menjadi sasaran banjir. Oleh karena itu, peneliatan ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk untuk menentukan zona sebaran potensi rawan banjir yang terdapat di Kecamatan Pomalaa melalui penggunaan data penginderaan jauh dan SIG.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian bahwa berdasarkan peta sebaran daerah rawan banjir menggunakan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) di Kecamatan Pomalaa, Kabupaten Kolaka diketahui bahwa deerah rawan banjir berada di Desa Oko-Oko, Desa Huko-Huko, Desa Pesouha, Desa Pelambua, Desa Totobo, Kelurahan Dawi - Dawi dan Kelurahan Tonggoni dengan luas wilayah 8810, 3974 ha.
