A natural approach to river engineering practice. A case study of the Ljiljanska river
Authors: Markovic-Brankovic Jelena , Markovic Milica , Kostic Aleksandar
Published: January 2022

In the past 30 years the efforts to protect river beds and banks have
increased significantly. The selection and design of proper structural
solution means finding a solution in accordance with construction
principles, river geomorphology, avoiding channel aggradation, bed scour,
bank erosion, resulting structure failure and significant harm to the stream
and nearby property. On the other hand, the structure should be
environmentally-friendly. Hydraulic structures generally have a strong
impact on the environment, so providing ?the right solution? presents a real
challenge to engineers.
The scale and effect of public investments in flood control infrastructure in Serbia from 2009 to 2021
Authors: Markovic Milica , Markovic-Brankovic Jelena
Published: January 2022

Flood control structures play an important role in saving lives and property
during floods, especially due to climate change issues. The construction,
reconstruction, and rehabilitation of hydraulic structures are compliant
with their maintenance and are performed periodically and preventively in
order to achieve their required functional safety. However, over the years,
investments in flood protection, i.e. the reduction of possible damage
caused by the harmful effects of water, mostly implied investments in
embankments. Investments in high dams are insufficient in terms of their
importance, structure complexity, and failure risk.
Towards flexible housing: basic design principles
Authors: Zivkovic Milica , Stamenkovic Marija , Petrovic Vladana
Published: January 2022

In times of radical social transformations, the demand for flexibility of
space can be identified as one of the strategic priorities of maintaining
the urban environment. In the context of social, economic and environmental
sustainability, housing must imply an integrated ability to respond to
programme changes, which can be achieved through the concept of flexibility.
By identifying and applying certain design principles, it is possible to
prevent the problem of functional obsolescence and unsuitability of the
living environment that modern cities are facing. The apartment as an
immediate living environment is the most direct indicator of the degree of
adaptability of the physical surrounding to modern human needs. The analysis
of basic design principles, using an example of flexible apartment, examines
the spatial correlations and laws of the relationship between elements of
the plan, which provides the basis for the authors to draw the conclusions
about the reality of applying this concept in practice.
Influence of geometrical and structural imperfections on the behavior of steel plate girders
Authors: Turnic Dragana , Zivkovic Srdjan , Spasojevic-Surdilovic Marija , Milosevic Marko , Igic Aleksandra
Published: January 2022

The girders or parts of the girders are not ideally flat in terms of their
geometry. The deviations that occur are defined as geometric imperfections.
Also, in the material from which the girder is made, a certain deviation may
occur during factory production or for some other reason, which is known as
structural imperfection. This paper presents the analysis of the behavior of
plate girders (welded steel I girders), with and without material stiffening
and loaded with patch loading. The results were obtained by numerical
simulation in the ANSYS for models with included geometric imperfections.
The model was performed in accordance with the recommendations for different
behavior curves of materials from Eurocode 3. The limit load obtained by
numerical simulation corresponded to the experimental results from the
literature. Stress values for girders with and without geometric
imperfections for the same load value were compared.
The hydrological and environmental aspect of low flow assessment in ungauged basins - a case study in the Juzna Morava river basin
Authors: Blagojevic Borislava , Mihailovic Vladislava , Blagojevic Jovan , Radivojevic Dragan
Published: January 2022

Eighteen low flow indicators are considered in the research of sixteen
hydrological stations in the Juzna Morava river basin. The indicators are
estimated by statistical analysis and grouped as hydrological and
environmental indicators. A crosscorrelation between all indicators is
assessed. Environmental flows at hydrologic stations are obtained by the GEP
method. The environmental low flow indicators are transferred to two small
ungauged basins by regression with physiographic characteristics. The
adjustment of environmental flows at ungauged basins is performed according
to locations of the donor stations in the hydrogeological regions of the
studied area.

Authors: Salama Ben Moussa Oum , El Islam Ayad Ahmed Nour , Bouchala Tarik
Published: January 2022

This paper presents eddy current non-destructive characterization of three
aeronautical metal sheets by deterministic and stochastic inversion methods.
This procedure consists of associating the finite element method with three
optimization algorithms (Simplex method and genetic and particle swarm
algorithms) simultaneously determine electric conductivity, magnetic
permeability and thickness of Al, Ti and 304L stainless steel metal sheets
largely used in aeronautical industry. Indeed, the application of these
methods has shown the performance of each inversion algorithms. As a result,
while doing a qualitative and quantitative comparison, it was found that the
Simplex method is more advantageous in comparison with genetic and particle
swarm algorithms, since it is faster and more stable .
Effects of connecting a scattered solar generation unit to the grid on the cloud passage using optimization algorithms
Authors: Aljbori Ali , Zarif Mahdi
Published: January 2022

Today, limitation of fossil fuel resources and other issues such as the
possibility of the depletion of fossil energy reserves, global warming,
environmental pollution, price instability, and the growing need for
industrial and urban centers for energy have prompted the international
community to seek appropriate alternatives. Such examples are nuclear
energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, and ocean waves.
Renewable energy is generated owing to the simplicity of the applied
technology compared to nuclear energy technologies. On the other hand, such
energies play a key role in new energy systems in the world similar to
nuclear waste. The increasing use of renewable energies has given rise to
significant complications. One of the main operational issues in this regard
is the uncertainty of electricity generation by solar power plants, which is
caused by the passage of clouds. The present study aimed to investigate the
effects of cloud passage on the production of solar power plants. Initially,
a control system was designed to control a high-penetration solar power
plant in the network, and the maximum allowable percentage of penetration
was calculated for different loads. For this purpose, three algorithms (DE,
PSO, and ICA) were used to determine the MPPT of the solar arrays in shady
conditions, as well as the MPPT point of the solar arrays. According to the
results, the colonial competition algorithm was faster compared to the other
algorithms.

Published: January 2022

Introduction. Autoimmune encephalitis associated with ovarian teratoma is a serious and potentially fatal pathology. While this clinical entity is known to neurologists, the available literature rarely mentions the role of a gynecologist in diagnostic imagining and treatment. Although several months have passed from the onset of symptoms to surgical treatment, this case shows that even then a complete recovery is possible. Case presentation. The patient was a 28-year-old female, brought to the hospital because a sudden onset of unusual behavior ? an acute psychosis with suicidal thoughts and auditory hallucinations. Soon after the admission she became delirious, uncooperative and agitated. Blood check, neurological assessment and cranial computed tomography yielded normal results. Therefore, a psychiatric disorder was suspected. Electroencephalogram revealed a diffuse encephalitic insufficiency. As cerebrospinal fluid was negative for infections, the autoimmune etiology of the disease was suspected. Abdominal computer tomography showed a complex right ovarian mass measuring 50 ? 40 ? 30 mm, confirmed by vaginal ultrasound. Laparoscopy with right adnexectomy was performed. The pathohistological finding showed a mature teratoma. In the meantime, the result of the cerebrospinal fluid test came positive for Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate antibodies. Six months after surgery, the patient was in a good mental and neurological status without symptoms. Conclusion. Gynecologists should be aware of the presence of ovarian tumors in encephalitis cases. A timely diagnosis of the underlying gynecological cause of a neurological condition, allows for prompt treatment and can remarkably improve clinical conditions and, thus, be lifesaving.

Studi Estimasi Biaya Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3) Pada Proyek Konstruksi Bangunan (Studi Kasus: Pembangunan Gedung Xyz Kab. Dharmasraya)
Authors: Ariani Vivi , Peli Martalius
Published: January 2022

Faktor keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) secara umum di Indonesia masih menjadi masalah besar yang sering terjadi pada proyek konstruksi. Contoh nyatanya adalah tingginya angka kecelakaan kerja di proyek konstruksi, baik pekerjaan bangunan gedung ataupun pekerjaan sipil (civil work). Industri konstruksi merupakan industri yang kompleks jika dibandingkan dengan industri lainnya. Industri ini menghasilkan produk akhir berupa bangunan dan bentuk fisik lainnya, baik yang berupa sarana maupun prasarana yang berfungsi mendukung pertumbuhan dan perkembangan diberbagai bidang, seperti dibidang ekonomi, sosial maupun budaya. Selain itu, industri konstruksi identik dengan adanya pembangunan baik itu pada proyek-proyek pemerintah atau pun swasta. Faktor keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) dianggap hanya membuang waktu dan menambah biaya pelaksanaan proyek konstruksi, padahal keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) bertujuan untuk menciptakan kondisi yang mendukung kenyamanan kerja bagi tenaga kerja. Untuk itu diperlukan perencanaan biaya (estimasi) keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) pada proyek konstruksi bangunan. Pada penelitian ini akan diteliti mengenai estimasi biaya keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) pada Pembangunan Gedung XYZ. Pembangunan gedung ini tidak menerapkan keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) karena biaya keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) dianggap mahal. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pengolahan data dengan Microsoft excel untuk mengetahui estimasi biaya keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3). Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh biaya keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) sebesar Rp. 69,232,000.00 dan untuk biaya kontrak Rp. 1,227,005,743.40 atau sebesar 5.64% dari nilai kontrak. Biaya K3 tidak terlalu berpengaruh pada biaya proyek secara keseluruhan jika dihitung lebih rinci dan justru dengan adanya perhitungan estimasi biaya K3 akan memudahkan kontraktor untuk mengetahui biaya K3 yang akan dipergunakan pada pelaksanaan proyek Gedung XYZ.

Published: January 2022

Pemerintah Kota Palembang telah meresmikan  jalur khusus sepeda pada tahun 2020 lalu oleh Walikota Palembang, ada tiga rute resmi jalur khusus sepeda tersebut. Tiga jalur khusus pengguna sepeda ini dibuat pemerintah untuk menertibkan arus lalu lintas dan memfasilitasi para pengguna sepeda di Kota Palembang. Pada penerapannya, jalur sepeda di Kota Palembang masih mengalami kendala. Hal ini disebabkan oleh tingginya jumlah lalu lintas kendaraan umum dan pribadi, ditambah pula dengan minimnya pengguna sepeda. Selain itu, tujuan dari pesepada masih hanya sebatas untuk olahraga, bukan sebagai alat transportasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis efektivitas jalur sepeda di Kota Palembang dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dan metode analisis melalui teknik BLOS (Bicycle Level Of Service). Pengumpulan data primer dilakukan menggunakan survei lapangan dan penyebaran kuesioner kepada pengguna sepeda. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dengan metode BLOS yang didapat pada hari Senin pada waktu pagi (06.00-08.00 wib) dan sore hari (16.00-18.00 wib) dan  Minggu sore (16.00-18.00  wib), didapat nilai BLOS berada pada ranking “F” yaitu lebih dari 5,5 ini berarti rute ketiga tidak aman untuk pengguna sepeda. Sedangkan pada siang hari (11.00-13.00 wib) di hari Senin dan hari Minggu pagi pada (06.00-08.00 wib) serta pada sore hari (16.00-18.00 wib), didapat nilai BLOS berada pada ranking “E” artinya pada rute ketiga sangat kurang mendukung untuk sepeda.

Current knowledge about cardiomyocytes maturation and endogenous myocardial regeneration. Background to apply this potential in humans with end-stage heart failure
Authors: Perek Bartłomiej , Rajendram Harisanjiv , Erampamoorthy Abikasinee , Shaikh Osama
Published: January 2022

Heart failure (HF) is a clinical status defined as a final stage of many cardiac diseases featured by severely impaired systolic myocardial performance in a result of dramatic decline in a number of properly functioning cardiomyocytes. Currently, the available therapeutic options for HF patients are not applicable in all of them. Up to now, many strategies to increase a number of normal cardiomyocytes have been proposed. One of them, the most physiological one at glance, seems to be a stimulation of post-mitotic cardiomyocytes to proliferate/or cardiac stem cells to differentiate. In this review article, detailed background of such method of myocardial regeneration, including the physiological processes of cardiomyocyte transformation and maturation, is presented. Moreover, the latest directions of basic research devoted to develop sufficient and safe cardiomyocyte-based therapies of the end-stage HF individuals are discussed. Concluding, this direction of further research seems to be justified particularly in a view of human population aging, an increased prevalence of HF and higher expectations of improved efficiency of patients’ care.
Methods of detection and isolation of trophoblast cells from trans-cervical specimens – a historical overview
Authors: Sibiak Rafal , Wender-Ożegowska Ewa
Published: January 2022

Trophoblast cells can be detected and isolated from the cervical epithelial cells obtained via various techniques of trans-cervical samples collection such as a mucus aspiration, endocervical lavage, or standard cervical brushing in the early first trimester, even from the 5 weeks’ gestation. Isolated fetal cells can be used in the early prediction of fetal sex, prenatal diagnostics of the most common aneuploidies, and any other genetic abnormalities. Nevertheless, the collection of trophoblastic cells has limited efficacy compared to currently used methods of detection of free fetal DNA in maternal circulation or other protocols of invasive prenatal diagnostics available at later stages of pregnancy. In the past years, trans-cervical cell samples were collected mainly in women before planned pregnancy termination. The early trophoblastic cells isolation from women in ongoing pregnancies opens new perspectives for further studies focused on the elucidation of pathophysiology of numerous pregnancy-related complications.
Central European Tourist Flows: Intraregional Patterns and Their Implications
Authors: Šauer Martin , Vystoupil Jiří , Novotná Markéta , Widawski Krzysztof
Published: January 2022

Understanding tourist spatial behaviours is essential for strategic planning and sustainable development. Especially at the city-level, data provide implications for spatial planning and transport governance. Intraregional tourist flows to cities contributed significantly to the total volume of tourists within the Central European region before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Given the challenges that urban tourism is currently facing, intraregional tourist flows could be a strategic opportunity for future growth. As a comprehensive assessment of the tourist flows at this spatial level is lacking, the paper aims to evaluate the structure of these flows and discuss the factors that influence their spatial distribution. Statistical data analysis of tourist flows to selected cities in Central Europe is evaluated by multiple linear regression. The results show that the main factors affecting the distribution of tourist flows are air connection, the attractiveness of the destination, and the size of the source market. Tourist flows within Central Europe are fundamentally affected by Germany. This market can be considered the most important source of demand for inbound tourism. Germany's national ties with Austria and Switzerland generated 47% of all trips examined. In this case, the influences of historical ties and the broader socio-economic context are evident.

Qu’est-ce qu’un cas ? - Explorer les fondements de l’enquête en sciences sociales
Authors: Ragin Charles , Becker Howard
Published: January 2022

De quoi un cas est-il le cas ? Cette question hante l’ouvrage classique dirigé par Charles Ragin et Howard Becker. Délaissant les débats classiques sur la généralisation et le rôle de la théorie dans l’étude de cas, il nous invite à réfléchir à ce qu’est faire cas. Quelle que soit la modalité mise en oeuvre, par déduction, induction ou abduction, l’opération du faire cas est centrale, épistémologiquement et méthodologiquement, pour saisir l’intérêt de l’étude de cas en sciences sociales. En s’attachant à ouvrir l’idée de cas et donc à ne pas restreindre celui-ci à la seule étude monographique, ni d’ailleurs à la seule approche qualitative, cet ouvrage repose sur un choix explicite et clair : tenter d’expliciter les procédures par lesquelles on constitue un cas en liant ses particularités à des éléments plus généraux et ceci en rendant compte de l’extrême variété des façons d’y parvenir.
COVID-19 infection in a patient with Behçet’s Disease
Authors: Johnson George , Schofield Alice Martha , Kirwan John , Moots Robert
Published: January 2022

Background:

We are continually learning how to best manage patients testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 [coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)]. This is particularly challenging in rare autoimmune conditions, where immune system dysfunction, whether by disease or treatment, has the potential to impact on the course of COVID-19 in several ways.

Case Presentation:

We present the case of a 52-year-old female with Behçet’s Disease, treated by immunosuppressive drugs, who tested positive for COVID-19 during the first month of the pandemic in the United Kingdom. In this case a multidisciplinary team approach, involving gynecological, rheumatological, microbiological, and respiratory teams was essential in ensuring the best outcome for the patient.

Conclusion:

Our patient had a favorable outcome; she did not require intensive care admission and has recovered. This case supports the hypothesis that the chronic immunosuppression may confer a degree of protection against severe COVID-19 disease, potentially by mitigating the pro-inflammatory cytokine responsible for the respiratory failure seen in severe cases of the disease.

The conducted study compares the phytochemical and the antimicrobial potential of four varieties of Brassica napus seed oils. The plant seeds were cultivated during the winter growing season. Soxhlet extractor and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) were used for essential oil analysis. The micro broth dilutionassay was applied to test the antimicrobial potential (MIC: Minimum inhibitory concentration, MBC: Minimum bactericidal concentration) of the extracted essential oils against different bacterial strains. A total of 56 phytochemicals were found, including 23 and 25 compounds in the oils of Pactol and Rapifera seed varieties,respectively, and 21 compounds in each of Bacara and Rally seed oils. Oleic acid constituted about 35.79 %, 15.62%, 7%, and 2.41 % for Rally, Bacara, Rapifera, and Pactol seed oils, respectively. Gram-positive bacteria, Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae, showed lower resistance potentials (MIC= 0.78%, 3.125%respectively) (MBC=1.36%, 6.25% respectively) to the essential oils compared with Staphylococcus aureus. Escherichia coli showed higher sensitivity (6.25% and 12.5% for MIC and MBC, respectively) than Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to the B. napus seed oils. Gram-positive bacteria weremore sensitive to the tested essential oils than Gram-negative bacteria. Overall, four different seed varieties have important chemicals and fatty acids. Oleic acid was the most common carboxylic acid (fatty acid) and 2,4-decadienal with hexanal were the most prevalent aldehydes in four seed oils. Tested B. napus seed essential oilsshowed antimicrobial activities against various Gram-positive and negative bacteria and Candida albicans, with Pactol seed oils exerting the highest activity.

Grasshoppers are among the dominant insects in most grassland systems. These insects’ communities tend to exhibit temporal variations in the distribution and abundance of their species, and during outbreak years cause important economic loss in both implanted pastures and crops. In the study area, Laprida county, as well as in other areas of Buenos Aires province, this pest problem has been recognized since last century. The aim of this study was to analyze the pest management of grasshoppers made by farmers and related institutions in Laprida using both qualitative (interviews and documentary observation) and quantitative methods (surveys). About 80% of surveyed farmers considered that grasshoppers are the main pest in the region, and 60% of them apply chemical insecticides against this pest, mainly on crops. Besides, only 12.8% of surveyed farmers are aware of nonchemical alternatives for pest control, such us biological control and natural enemies. Most of the interviewed farmers acknowledged the importance of preventive management through systematic grasshopper monitoring and spot treatments in risky areas. Additionally, farmers showed interest in the implementation of more environmentally-safer strategies such as biological control.
