NEVER-AGING STORIES: AGE, MASCULINITY AND THE WESTERN MYTH IN THE ELECTRIC HORSEMAN.
Authors: Pelayo Sañudo Eva
Published: December 2020

According to Gabriela Spector-Mersel there are no cultural models for old men, in comparison to the easily available scripts in early and middle adulthood. As such, this is a considerably unsettling phase of negotiation for men as they need to (re)define their identity and their sense of masculinity particularly when aging. The masculinity embodied by the cowboy prototype certainly fits this model that sees masculinities as a “temporal script” (67). In the classic 1979 movie The Electric Horseman, directed by Sydney Pollack, the factor of age runs as a subtext that not only informs masculine identity but also takes on a broader significance to express an important cultural transformation. Instead of simply focusing on the effects of the passing of time for an individual man, the film explores the changes in US society through one of its most celebrated cultural icons, the cowboy. To analyze Sonny Steele’s distinctiveness within hegemonic ageless narratives in The Electric Horseman, this article will set him alongside two archetypal figures of the genre of the western: the cowboy and the horse, which serves as a key vehicle of the character’s own exalted masculinity. This critical approach shows how the prevailing model of youthful or ageless masculinity in cowboy stories can thus be challenged.

Ideology in Vicarious Learning–Related Communication
Authors: Lamberg Juha-Antti , Luoma Jukka
Published: December 2020

Organizations often learn vicariously by observing what other organizations do. Our study examines vicarious learning–related communication through which individuals share their observations with other organizational members. Most students and members of present-day organizations would expect that this communication is driven by a prodevelopment logic—that communication serves the purpose of organizational improvement and competitiveness. Our unique historical evidence on learning-related communication over multiple decades shows that the subjective and collective attitude toward prodevelopment communication may be ideologically conditioned. Prodevelopment communication is the norm in capitalist organizations, but competing ideologies may emphasize other goals higher than organizational development. Consequently, increasing challenges to capitalism as the ideological basis of economic organization can have deep impacts on how organizations learn and produce innovations in the future.

Boarding Schools as Colonizing and Oppressive Spaces: Towards Understanding Student Protest and Violence in Kenyan Secondary Schools
Authors: Wasonga Teresa A. , Makahamadze Tompson
Published: December 2020

Goffman’s theory of total institutions and Fanon’s theory of violence were used to explain student protests and violence in Kenyan secondary schools. Youth violence around the world is not a new phenomenon. However, the persistence, frequency, and intensity of violence, and their consequences beg for logical explanations and remedies. This study was part of a three-year project facilitated through the Networked Improvement Community partnership for self-study and intervention. Although a holistic approach to research was applied, data for this study were gathered through narrative inquiry. Participants (teachers, principals, and members of the school community) were identified purposively using the snowball process. Data were analyzed through deductive and inductive reasoning. Findings indicate a preponderance of student protest and violence among students in boarding schools. Student violence was a response to the devaluing and oppressive environment in boarding schools which resembled total institutions, and students exercising democratic rights to protest. The paper argues that school authorities could mitigate violent protests by providing formal political means of representation and democratic decision-making; creating new spaces for negotiation and peaceful protest; listening to the voices of students; and engaging in dialogue to create a common vision and mission.
Alkaline Hydrolysis of Swine Mortalities and Using Hydrolysates to Grow Lettuce Hydroponically
Authors: Akdeniz Neslihan , Yi Shuqi
Published: December 2020

Highlights

Alkaline hydrolysis is an effective way of managing livestock carcasses.

The hydrolysates can be aerobically treated to prepare a nutrient solution.

Mixing the nutrient solution with a traditional fertilizer increases lettuce quality.

The fertilizer expenses of hydroponic lettuce growth can be reduced by 50%.

Abstract. Animal mortality management is an essential part of livestock production. Choosing a proper method to handle mortalities is essential for preventing the spread of animal diseases and maintaining the sustainability of livestock facilities. The objectives of this study were (1) to test the efficacy of alkaline hydrolysis at ambient conditions to dispose of piglet mortalities, and (2) to demonstrate if the hydrolysates of the alkaline hydrolysis process could be used to grow lettuce hydroponically. Three alkaline concentrations (1M, 2M, and 4M) were tested to hydrolyze piglet mortalities. The pH of all alkaline solutions stayed above 12.8 for 31 days, which could eliminate all the pathogens that might concern swine producers based on previous studies. The hydrolysates were neutralized using corn silage with a pH of 3.9 ±0.2 and aerobically treated for 15 days. After aerobic treatment, mixing 20× diluted hydrolysates with 2× diluted control (commercially available fertilizer) provided the highest yields (on average, 18.2% more fresh weight compared to control). This mixture also yielded the highest chlorophyll and total soluble sugar content. We concluded that alkaline treatment of piglet mortalities at ambient temperature and pressure was feasible, and the neutralized and aerobically treated hydrolysates could be used to grow lettuce, reducing the risk of environmental releases. Keywords: Alkaline hydrolysis, Hydroponic, Hydrolysate, Livestock, Mortality, Real-time sensors.
Beyond speculation: using speculative methods to surface ethics and positionality in design practice and pedagogy
Authors: Levick-Parkin Melanie , Stirling Eve , Hanson Maria , Bateman Roger
Published: December 2020

This paper explores the relationship between speculative design and ethics, both within and beyond the context of design pedagogic research. It examines some our struggles in, and motivations for, engaging with speculative methods in design as design scholars and practitioners, by reflecting on research which aimed to explore whether speculative, future facing design curricula would have an impact on raising design students’ awareness of design’s agency, beyond the micro-environment of specific design disciplines or disciplinary industrial contexts.

We draw on feminist theory and critique to go on to argue that speculative methods could help the design discipline to break out of its oft wilful ontological blindness but, in order to fulfil their full critical and transformative potential, foundational ethics, and questions of positionality, require equal status around the table. If speculation is to facilitate the surfacing of issues around positionality and foundational ethics within the design curriculum and beyond, contestations central to feminist critique such as ‘what futures and whose futures’ are needed.

Online customer reviews: A topical classification, synthesis and future research directions
Authors: Thomas Sujo
Published: December 2020

This study provides scholars with an overview of the academic literature on online consumer review studies published in the hospitality and tourism literature during the period 2000-2018. The study contributes to the online review research domain understanding for both academicians and practitioners because such a classification would identify gaps and future directions for research studies. This study, while carrying out a systematic review also provides a framework for the classification of the literature by journal, year of publication, keywords, publisher distribution, citation analysis, authorship trends, country of research, theories applied, research orientation, research approach, and by industry. A review of 179 full-length articles across peer-reviewed academic journals, published over a 19-year period, was undertaken to provide researchers with a reference guide. In contrast to past literature review studies, this paper identified authorship trends and recorded the citations to understand the influence of online review research studies. Further, the present paper extends the scope of past review studies by carrying out topical cluster analysis in online review research studies. Topical clusters were identified providing valuable insights for future research: (a) satisfaction/dissatisfaction, (b) trust/distrust, (c) user-generated content, (d) systematic reviews, (e) social media, and (f) influence/impact of online reviews. Implications and future research directions are also discussed.
Non-Planckian infrared emission from GaAs devices with electrons and lattice out-of-thermal-equilibrium
Authors: Zou Yuexin , Pan Hong , Huang Shenyang , Chen Pingping , Yan Hugen , An Zhenghua
Published: December 2020

With the downscaled device size, electrons in semiconductor electronics are often electrically driven out-of-thermal-equilibrium with hosting lattices for their functionalities. The thereby electrothermal Joule heating to the lattices can be visualized directly by the noncontact infrared radiation thermometry with the hypothetic Planck distribution at a single characteristic temperature. We report here that the infrared emission spectrum from electrically biased GaAs devices deviates obviously from Planck distribution, due to the additional contribution from non-equilibrium hot electrons whose effective temperature reaches much higher than that of the lattice (T
e
>T
l
). The evanescent infrared emission from these hot electrons is out-coupled by a near-field metamaterial grating and is hence made significant to the total far-field emission spectrum. Resonant emission peak has also been observed when the electron hotspots are managed to overlap spatially with the optical hotspots at the grating resonance. Our work opens a new direction to study nonequilibrium dynamics with (non-Planckian) infrared emission spectroscopy and provides important implications into the microscopic energy dissipation and heat management in nanoelectronics.

We report the fabrication of a microstructured optical fiber drawn from a soft glass 3D printed preform. For this proof of concept, a chalcogenide glass that is well known for its capability to be shaped at low temperature and its mid-infrared transmission was selected: Te20As30Se50. The obtained negative curvature hollow core fiber shows several transmission bands in the 2–12 µm range that are reproduced numerically using finite element-based simulations and coupled mode theory.

Published: December 2020

Background

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays a pivotal role in innate immunity; however, its impact on susceptibility to opportunistic infections (OIs) has not yet been examined in a natural history cohort of people living with HIV/AIDS.

Methods

We used archived samples to analyze the association between MBL expression types and risk of major OIs including Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP), cryptococcosis, talaromycosis, toxoplasmosis, and tuberculosis in a prospective cohort in Northern Thailand conducted from 1 July 2000 to 15 October 2002 before the national antiretroviral treatment programme was launched.

Results

Of 632 patients, PCP was diagnosed in 96 (15.2%) patients, including 45 patients with new episodes during the follow-up period (1006.5 person-years). The total history of PCP was significantly associated with low MBL expression type: high/intermediate (81/587, 13.8%), low (10/33, 30.3%) and deficient (5/12, 41.7%) (p = 0.001), whereas the history of other OIs showed no relation with any MBL expression type. Kaplan–Meier analysis (n = 569; log-rank p = 0.011) and Cox’s proportional hazards model revealed that deficient genotype dramatically increased the risk of PCP, which is independent upon sex, age, CD4 count, HIV-1 viral load and hepatitis B and C status (adjusted hazard ratio 7.93, 95% confidence interval 2.19–28.67, p = 0.002).

Conclusions

Deficiency of MBL expression is a strong risk factor determining the incidence of PCP but not other major OIs.

Authors: Josiassen Jakob , Lerche Helgestad Ole Kristian , Møller Jacob Eifer , Kjaergaard Jesper , Hoejgaard Henrik Frederiksen , Schmidt Henrik , Jensen Lisette Okkels , Holmvang Lene , Ravn Hanne Berg , Hassager Christian
Published: December 2020

Background

Most studies in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) include patients presenting with and without out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The aim was to compare OHCA and non-OHCA AMICS patients in terms of hemodynamics, management in the intensive care unit (ICU) and outcome.

Methods

From a cohort corresponding to two thirds of the Danish population, all patients with AMICS admitted from 2010–2017 were individually identified through patient records.

Results

A total of 1716 AMICS patients were identified of which 723 (42%) presented with OHCA. A total of 1532 patients survived to ICU admission. At the time of ICU arrival, there were no differences between OHCA and non-OHCA AMICS patients in variables commonly used in the AMICS definition (mean arterial pressure (MAP) (72mmHg vs 70mmHg, p = 0.12), lactate (4.3mmol/L vs 4.0mmol/L, p = 0.09) and cardiac output (CO) (4.6L/min vs 4.4L/min, p = 0.30)) were observed. However, during the initial days of ICU treatment OHCA patients had a higher MAP despite a lower need for vasoactive drugs, higher CO, SVO2 and lactate clearance compared to non-OHCA patients (p<0.05 for all). In multivariable analysis outcome was similar but cause of death differed significantly with hypoxic brain injury being leading cause in OHCA and cardiac failure in non-OHCA AMICS patients.

Conclusion

OHCA and non-OHCA AMICS patients initially have comparable metabolic and hemodynamic profiles, but marked differences develop between the groups during the first days of ICU treatment. Thus, pooling of OHCA and non-OHCA patients as one clinical entity in studies should be done with caution.
Intervención normativa ante los riesgos psicosociales laborales con perspectiva de género
Authors: Castro Trancón Nereida
Published: December 2020

Las características del empleo femenino conducen a que determinados riesgos psicosociales sean prevalentes en las trabajadoras. Incluso la doble presencia y el acoso laboral, tanto sexual como por razón de sexo, podrían ser considerados como factores específicos de género. El tratamiento jurídico de los riesgos psicosociales, que también debería incluir la perspectiva de género, resulta todavía insuficiente a pesar de la importancia que actualmente se concede a estos riesgos emergentes, sobre todo a nivel internacional y comunitario. Este estudio aborda la prevención y protección ante los riesgos psicosociales laborales derivados de la precarización del empleo femenino aunando dos perspectivas, la psicológica y la jurídica.

Uptake: ¿entender o aceptar?
Authors: Blanco Salgueiro Antonio
Published: December 2020

Austin introduces the idea of securing the uptake in the context of dealing with the illocution-perlocution distinction. In recent times, the notion is employed by some neoaustinian scholars to argue that the uptake is what triggers the deontic effects (rights, duties, obligations, permissions, etc.) associated to an illocution. Here, a distinction is made between two kinds of uptake: uptake-as-understanding and uptake-as-accepting, and the stance that the second is the one needed for a plausible theory of speech action inspired by Austin’s original ideas is defended. When that notion is adopted, some old problems about speech action can be clarified.
Mujeres sin hogar en España. Narrativas sobre género, vulnerabilidad social y efectos del entramado asistencial
Authors: Alonso Pardo Alicia , Palacios Ramírez José , Iniesta Martínez Almudena
Published: December 2020

El sinhogarismo femenino representa una problemática dentro del contexto español que requiere ser analizada. En los últimos años, la llamada feminización de la pobreza ha puesto de manifiesto un auge del número de mujeres sin hogar, que hace necesario desarrollar estudios empíricos sobre la cuestión. Por ello, la finalidad de este trabajo basado en una investigación cualitativa ha sido conocer la experiencia femenina del sinhogarismo, tratar de dilucidar el modo en que las violencias sociales y la vulnerabilidad de género se inscriben en las historias de vida de estas mujeres. Del mismo modo, también se ha prestado atención a los efectos del entramado y de la praxis asistencial en la condición del sinhogarismo femenino. Los resultados obtenidos revelan el impacto que tienen las experiencias de victimización en las trayectorias biográficas de las mujeres sin hogar, donde las situaciones de violencia de género y maltrato son recurrentes. Las narrativas de estas mujeres permiten reconocer las carencias del modelo de intervención asistencialista exponiendo los efectos negativos que el entramado asistencial genera.
El movimiento social urbano como agente crítico para la planificación de ciudad: hacia un desarrollo sostenible de la Ribera de Deusto y Zorrotzaurre al 2030
Authors: Villebaldo Mireles Puga Addí , Benavides Rincón Guillermina , Garrido Diez Almudena
Published: December 2020

Los sistemas de urbanismo necesitan abrir espacio a movimientos sociales que objetan la planificación urbana desde una perspectiva dominada por la lógica del mercado. La adopción de un modelo alternativo de desarrollo sostenible que tome en cuenta factores económicos, sociales y ecológicos requiere la incorporación de nuevos actores como los Movimientos Sociales Urbanos. Desde esta perspectiva, el desarrollo urbano se beneficia de una mejor identificación de los problemas a partir de métodos que proporcionen una visión más detallada sobre el papel de los Movimientos Sociales Urbanos en el diseño de ciudades y su capacidad para influir en la planificación urbana. Se utiliza el proceso de construcción de escenarios de la Escuela Francesa “la prospective” (Amer, Daim y Jetter, 2013) al desarrollar ejercicios participativos de análisis de actores, análisis estructural y la construcción de escenarios probabilizados para llegar a la construcción de un escenario normativo. Los resultados muestran la importancia de la prospectiva estratégica como método útil para construir consensos entre actores con intereses distintos, lograr un lenguaje común e identificar acciones a partir de una visión sistémica. La metodología permitió identificar las variables críticas, así como las divergencias y sinergias que afectan el fenómeno.
«A muertos y a idos, pocos amigos». Los costes indirectos de la muerte a través del proceso contra los albaceas del doctor Antonio de Solís, profesor de Leyes en la Universidad de Salamanca (†1592)
Authors: Rubio Muñoz Francisco Javier
Published: December 2020

Esta investigación tiene un doble objetivo. Por una parte, analizar algunos aspectos del mundo funerario del profesorado universitario en la Edad Moderna, un grupo prácticamente carente de este tipo de estudios a diferencia de otros colectivos sociales ampliamente tratados. Por otro lado, se persigue reflexionar sobre la conflictividad como parte de las actitudes ante la muerte de la sociedad de la época, un acontecimiento que inmiscuía a otros individuos, directa o indirectamente. Algunas de estas relaciones interpersonales en torno al óbito pueden entenderse desde un punto de vista meramente legal o económico, mientras que otras se vincularían al grado de amistad, cercanía, interés, etc. con respecto al finado. Todas estas cuestiones se han denominado costes indirectos de la muerte. En definitiva, se aborda la muerte desde la alteridad, es decir, desde el punto de vista de los sujetos que rodeaban al individuo que fallecía.
El ensueño oceánico: los mercados financieros de una plaza interregional en época de recesión (Valencia, 1480-1520)
Authors: Cruselles Gómez Enrique
Published: December 2020

A finales del siglo XV, Valencia manifestaba una crisis de crecimiento que se acentuaría en las décadas siguientes. De manera paradójica, era la época de total difusión de las prácticas comerciales adoptadas de los ambientes italianos un siglo antes. El análisis de los mercados financieros (seguros marítimos, arrendamientos de impuestos y crédito) muestra varias novedades socio-económicas respecto a tiempos pasados, manifestaciones del declive. Primero, relacionado con la promoción de los grandes linajes comerciales del pasado, el agotamiento de la reproducción social del grupo mercantil local, factor acentuado por la persecución inquisitorial de los hombres de negocios de ascendencia judeoconversa. Segundo, el desplazamiento de los comerciantes en algunos de esos mercados por las élites políticas urbanas que acaparaban los negocios financieros en beneficio propio y que recurrían a la intermediación de las empresas itálicas. Y finalmente la participación empresarial de miembros enriquecidos del artesanado en la etapa de esplendor de la ciudad, que aprovecharon sus oportunidades con el desclasamiento del grupo mercantil.
Effect of science in the relation between firms' technological diversification and innovation performance
Authors: Donato Alessia
Published: December 2020

Several studies have analyzed the relationship between the firms’ technological diversification and the innovation performance outcomes. We use information coming from patents portfolio of a sample of firms that operate in a nanotechnology sector and analyze the effect, in this relationship, of the use of scientific knowledge in the development of patented inventions. We find, firstly, that the trend of the quality of innovation with the technological diversification of a firm appears similar to a Gaussian with positive asymmetry. Secondly, we find that with the increase in the percentage of the used science by year, in one side, firms appear to obtain the maximum impact of the innovation, in average, with a less technological diversification in the patent’s portfolio and, in the other side, innovations with more impact are obtained in average.
Destiny, Being and the Empirical Law of Large Numbers
Authors: D’Amico Rosario
Published: December 2020

The aim of this paper is to give a practical meaning to the term ”possible”, which can then become a useful reading key to attempt to decipher the nature and functioning of the so-called Being, that is, of being-in-itself, of the reality implied, of what there is behind what it is. Thanks to this hermeneutic tool together with the singular existential experience of Mister Tanat`o, the imaginary protagonist of this treatment, we will interpret the Being as all that is pre-destined - that is, as the set of fundamental conditions for (there to be) such being [essente] or nothingness - and sensitive reality as all that is destined - that is, as the rotation of the guided evolutions of the Being -. Finally, to confirm and investigate the results we have achieved, we will provide a solution both to the hypothetical paradox of prediction, in which the apparent antinomy lies in admitting that predictions can be subsequently falsified, and to an interesting probabilistic problem.

Authors: Urrutia Francisco
Published: December 2020

El propósito de este artículo es compartir los resultados de un estudio sobre el desempeño docente de profesores de secundaria en la asignatura de Formación Cívica y Ética. Incluye un análisis y evaluación profunda de los desempeños de cuatro docentes en seis sesiones de clase, con base en una metodología para el análisis cualitativo de situaciones de clase y un modelo de estándares de desempeño docente en el aula. Esta evaluación permitió identificar elementos de la práctica docente que son las principales oportunidades de mejora para los profesores: relacionar los contenidos de asignaturas distintas, ofrecer atención diferenciada al alumnado, propiciar la autoevaluación de los estudiantes y la evaluación entre ellos. Asimismo, fue posible encontrar que son fortalezas de los docentes evaluados: las relaciones de aprendizaje entre estudiantes, los recursos didácticos, las actividades dirigidas por los docentes, las relaciones interpersonales y la evaluación del docente al alumnado. El estudio muestra la utilidad de las metodologías empleadas para el estudio y valoración de desempeños docentes. Este diagnóstico de las necesidades de mejora presentes en la práctica del profesorado fundamenta un conjunto de recomendaciones para la formulación de políticas educativas encaminadas a la formación continua y el acompañamiento del profesorado.

The adsorption efficiency and selectivity of activated carbon as an adsorbent for ions can be improved. One way is to convert activated carbon into surfactant modified activated carbon (SMAC). The surfactants used in this study were the anionic surfactant Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and the cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA-Br). This research aims to synthesize SMAC to obtain a material with a surface charge and absorb ions better than activated carbon. This research consisted of four stages. The first step was the carbonization of rice husks using a pyrolysis reactor at 400°C for 1 hour. The second stage was carbon activation using 30% ZnCl2 and microwave radiation for 5 minutes and 400 W. The third stage was the modification of activated carbon and characterization by FTIR, SEM, SAA. The fourth stage was the adsorption of Pb cations and nitrate anions by carbon, activated carbon, and SMAC. Several variables were applied, such as the type of surfactant, time, and method of modification. There are three ways of modification: (1) method A, in which activated carbon is brought into contact with SLS then HDTMA-Br. (2) Method B in which activated carbon was contacted with HDTMA-Br then SLS. (3) Method C in which activated carbon was brought into contact with SLS together with HDTMA-Br. All variables were investigated. The results showed that the optimum time for making SMAC for both surfactants was 4 hours, the optimum concentrations of SLS and HDTMA-Br were 60 and 300 ppm, respectively. SMAC made by the C method was the most effective at adsorbing Pb2+ and NO3- with adsorption capacities of 1.376 and 0.896 mg/g, respectively. The success of SMAC synthesis was evidenced by the S=O and (CH3)3N+ groups in the FTIR spectra. The SMAC surface area is smaller than activated carbon, 14.472 m2/g, but the surface morphology is smoother and more homogeneous.
The Affections of the Soul according to Aristotle, the Stoics and Galen: On Melancholy
Authors: Protopapas-Marneli Maria
Published: December 2020

The present article is divided into two parts: the first focuses on the affections of the soul in general, while the second part investigates the case of melancholy, as it is studied from Aristotle and the Stoics to Galen. The main point of the first part is an analysis of the Chrysippean treatise On the Affections of the Soul as it appears in the Galenic treatise On the Doctrines of Hippocrates and Plato. The analysis identifies several Chry­sippean influences from Plato and Aristotle regarding the psyche. In the second part, the case of melancholy is analyzed through the pseudo-Ar­istotelian treatise Problem XXX 1. The discussion shows the common points between the Aristotelian text and the Chrysippean fragments regarding the issue of melancholy. This article aims to bring to light the evolution of the phenomenon of melancholy in Galen’s thought, which is connected with the study of both medical and philosophical texts already existing before him.
Melting Curve SNP (McSNP) Genotyping: a Useful Approach for Diallelic Genotyping in Forensic Science

The increasing availability of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and Deletion/Insertion Polymorphisms (DIPs), as well as the outstanding progress in SNP genotyping technologies, will impact forensics profoundly. We have developed a new method for genotyping SNPs and DIPs, which is based on the determination of melting curve profiles of amplified DNA in solution. We have termed this method Melting curve SNP (McSNP) genotyping. Melting curve profiles are composites of the particular melting temperatures (Tm) of the individual fragments that comprise the DNA sample. Simple mixtures of DNA can be resolved in a very robust and efficient fashion, since the samples can be scored in the plates in which they were amplified with no or very few post-PCR manipulations. As such, McSNP is one of the least expensive genotyping methods available and can and should be useful in forensic science.
A Comparison Between Direct and Indirect Methods Available for Human Bite Mark Analysis
Authors: Kouble RF , Craig GT
Published: December 2020

Comparison techniques used in bite mark analysis are many and varied, the choice of technique depending largely on personal preference. Until recently, no one technique has been shown to be better than the others, and very little research has been carried out to compare different methods. This study evaluates and compares the accuracy of direct comparisons between suspects' models and bite marks with indirect comparisons in the form of conventional traced overlays of suspects' models or a new method using photocopier-generated overlays. Artificial bite marks in pigskin were made using standardized sets of models and recorded as photographs and fingerprint powder lifts on tape. The bite mark photographs and fingerprint lifts were coded and randomized so that a blind comparison could be made with the models, traced overlays, and photocopier-generated overlays using a modified version of the American Board of Forensic Odontology Scoring (ABFO) System for Bite Marks.

It was found that the photocopier-generated overlays were significantly more accurate at matching the correct bite mark to the correct models irrespective of whether the bite mark was recorded photographically or as a fingerprint lift. The photocopier-generated overlays were also found to be more sensitive at matching the correct bite marks to the correct models than the other two methods used. The modified ABFO scoring system was able to discriminate between a correct match and several incorrect matches by awarding a high score to the correct match.

Published: December 2020

Durability studies have been carried out on the performance of reactive powder concrete (RPC) when exposed to a three-month (accelerated) exposure to varying sulfuric acid concentrations. The compressive strength and weight loss of the specimens were the key parameters investigated. Specimens consisted of nonfiber reactive powder concrete (NF-RPC), fiber-reinforced reactive powder concrete (FR-RPC), and a control high-strength concrete (HSC). Concentrations of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) of 1, 3, and 10 % were utilized as the attack solutions in this investigation. RPCs suffered the highest compressive strength and weight loss after 12 weeks when exposed to 1, 3, and 10 % H2SO4 solutions. It is postulated that the high levels of binding constituents within the RPC are extremely reactive with H2SO4. Results from the HSC specimens showed that a reduced cement content and coarse aggregate inclusion reduced the level of sulfuric acid attack. The presence of fibers within the RPC samples appears to provide benefits in relation to decreased weight loss, but this was not observed for higher concentrations of H2SO4. This study has shown that the durability of RPC in environments subject to high concentrations of sulfuric acid is generally not recommended.

Aim: to compare the results of examination conducted among oil and gas refinery employees, obtained during yearly periodic medical examination with the results obtained during cardioscreening. Material and Methods – 47 employees (64% - men, mean age 52 ± 8 yrs) of large oil and gas refinery were examined by cardiologist in 2018. Six months before the cardioscreening all employees underwent yearly periodic medical examination. The data of anamnesis, laboratory and instrumental findings (blood glucose, lipids, ECG) of examinees were analyzed. Revealed risk factors, the levels of risk SCORE, diagnosis and recommendations made during periodic medical examination and during cardioscreening were compared. Results – In the studied group dyslipidemia was observed in 39 employees (83%). Elevated blood glucose was revealed in 30 examinees (64%). Left ventricle hypertrophy on ECG was determined in 6 patients (13%). Hypertension was diagnosed in 35 subjects (75%) by cardiologist vs 26 subjects (55%) by therapeutist, diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in 8 (15%) vs 4 (8,5%) subjects by cardiologist and therapeutist correspondingly, smoking – in 20 (43%) and 16 (34%) of employees correspondingly (p < 0,001). Mean systolic BP was 152±20 mm Hg during cardioscreening versus 133±24 mm Hg during periodic medical examination (p < 0,001). High and very high risk SCORE have had 26 subjects (55%) according the data of cardiologist and 15 subjects (32%) according the data of therapeutist (p < 0,001). Conclusion – In the companies with abusive working conditions it is necessary to distinguish high and very high cardiovascular risk groups by means of cardioscreening.
