Authors: Uçkaç Bekir Cihan , Coccia Mario , Kargi Bilal
Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the coronavirus disease 2019, is rapidly spreading worldwide, resulting in a significant number of deaths. This ongoing environmental and sustainability discussion has raised novel and relatively unexplored questions. One of these questions pertains to the impact of heavily polluting industrial processes and less environmentally friendly production methods on the spread of COVID-19 infections. This study aims to elucidate the connection between air pollution, particulate emissions, wind conditions, energy production, and the dissemination of COVID-19 infections. The primary focus of the statistical analysis is on Italy, a country that has seen a rapid surge in confirmed cases and fatalities. The findings of this study can be summarized as follows: 1) Cities located in regions with high wind speeds and significant wind energy production in megawatts (MW) tend to have fewer COVID-19 infections. 2) Conversely, cities situated in hinterland areas, especially those adjoining large urban conglomerates, characterized by heavy industrialization, low wind speeds, and less environmentally friendly production methods, tend to have a higher number of COVID-19 cases and total fatalities. These results suggest that addressing the current COVID-19 pandemic and preparing for future epidemics similar to COVID-19 requires more than just advancements in medical and microbiological research and practices. It also necessitates a proactive approach focused on sustainable development. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of incorporating sustainability science into strategies aimed at preventing future epidemics like COVID-19. Such an approach involves promoting renewable energy sources and cleaner production methods to reduce pollution from industrialization, ultimately influencing the factors that contribute to the transmission of coronavirus diseases and other infections within society.

Published: October 2023

Several studies were conducted utilizing various adsorbents in an effort to remove NH3+, NO3, and total nitrogen (TN) by adsorption process. In this study, Borosilicate glass is used as an adsorbent material. The effectiveness of the adsorbent in removing NH3+, NO3, and TN was examined, that in relation to the effect of solution characteristics. Three different types of glass intermediate oxides (Al2O3, SnO, and Bi2O3) were used to synthesize three different samples of borosilicate glass (adsorbents), that to study their effect on the adsorption efficiency of borosilicate glass. Aluminum oxide Al2O3 was used to synthesize adsorbent (I), tin oxide SnO was used to synthesize adsorbent (J), and bismuth oxide Bi2O3 was used to synthesize adsorbent (K). Adsorbents (I, J, and K) achieved a clear improvement in the performance of the adsorption process. Despite the convergence of competencies, adsorbents J and K were superior to adsorbent I. With adsorbent K and an initial concentration of contaminants 28 mg NH3+/ L, 28 mg NO3/ L, and 60 mg TN / L, the removal efficiency of NH3+, NO3, and TN was 49.5%, 55%, and 40%, respectively. The removal efficiency increased with initial concentration of contaminants increasing, which became around 79% NH3+, 93% NO3, and 88% TN for adsorbent K. The best efficiency of ammonia removal achieved with pH value 8.9, it was 64.1%, 75.3%, and 77.1% for adsorbents I, J, and K, respectively. The highest efficiency of nitrate removal was in acidic case, reaching 90.1%, 95.2%, and 93.8% for adsorbents I, J, and K, respectively, at pH value 4.1. Adsorption data were fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models to demonstrate the adsorption behavior of NH3+, NO3, and TN onto adsorbents (I, J, and K). It was found that the data were well fitted to both models. Overall, the findings demonstrated that borosilicate glass has the potential to be an effective adsorbent for the removal of ammonia, nitrate, and total nitrogen from industrial effluent.

Published: October 2023

Leaders are crucial in influencing members' motivation and improving organizational performance. In the National Police, member performance is vital to maintaining public trust. Motivations such as expected corporate rewards and satisfaction in knowledge sharing can influence knowledge-sharing behavior. Other factors, including confidence, leadership, and information technology, affect members' knowledge-sharing abilities. Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) reflects members' commitment and positive contribution to the organization and is closely related to motivation and knowledge sharing. Therefore, improving performance through motivation, knowledge sharing, and OCB is crucial in the National Police, which upholds public security and order. This study investigates the role of attitude towards knowledge sharing in linking motivation, OCB, and Polri members' performance in Southeast Sulawesi. By doing so, we hope to improve the service and image of the National Police. The literature review includes the Knowledge-Based View (KBV), which stresses the importance of knowledge in creating a competitive advantage. The Social Exchange Theory (SET) views employee behaviors as the result of social exchange and knowledge sharing.Extrinsic and intrinsic motivation are central to knowledge-sharing behavior, whereas OCB includes voluntary behavior that supports organizations. The research was conducted at the Regional Police Office of Southeast Sulawesi Province, involving members of the National Police. The study lasted for four months, with a sample of 338 people. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The results of data analysis using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method show that extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, and other motivational factors influence knowledge-sharing attitudes in organizations. Organizational civic behavior also affects knowledge-sharing attitudes. The relationship between Motivation, OCB, and performance of members of the National Police is not direct, but instead through the mediation of knowledge-sharing attitudes. Therefore, knowledge-sharing is a crucial factor linking motivation and behavior with significant performance outcomes in the context of the National Police, supporting the effectiveness of such organizations in maintaining public security and order.

Published: October 2023

Low health literacy is linked to poor health outcomes. Adequate health literacy depends on effective communication between patients and their healthcare providers, so it is important that physicians use health literacy strategies. This review article provides a brief account of the evolution of health literacy which shows a clear need to improve rates worldwide. It also addresses the relationship between the use of health literacy strategies and health outcomes; the physician’s role in health literacy including their implicit biases, training, gender, and region of training; and recommendations to improve policy-making, practice, and education in a Caribbean context. The implications for positive social change include the potential for health literacy training and inclusion in medical school curricula. The provision of health literacy training at all levels of education and practice aid in ensuring physicians are knowledgeable about the health literacy process, able to use strategies that can improve patients’ health literacy, and able to improve patient health outcomes. Recommendations on improving community literacy by engagement and empowerment are also discussed.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a novel, severe condition following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Large epidemiologic studies comparing MIS-C to Kawasaki disease (KD) and evaluating the evolving epidemiology of MIS-C over time are lacking. We sought to understand the illness severity of MIS-C compared with KD and evaluate changes in MIS-C illness severity over time during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic compared with KD.

METHODS

We included hospitalizations of children with MIS-C and KD from April 2020 to May 2022 from the Pediatric Health Information System administrative database. Our primary outcome measure was the presence of shock, defined as the use of vasoactive/inotropic cardiac support or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. We examined the volume of MIS-C and KD hospitalizations and the proportion of hospitalizations with shock over time using 2-week intervals. We compared the proportion of hospitalizations with shock in MIS-C and KD patients over time using generalized estimating equations adjusting for hospital clustering and age, with time as a fixed effect.

RESULTS

We identified 4868 hospitalizations for MIS-C and 2387 hospitalizations for KD. There was a higher proportion of hospitalizations with shock in MIS-C compared with KD (38.7% vs 5.1%). In our models with time as a fixed effect, we observed a significant decrease in the odds of shock over time in MIS-C patients (odds ratio 0.98, P < .001) but not in KD patients (odds ratio 1.00, P = .062).

CONCLUSIONS

We provide further evidence that MIS-C is a distinct condition from KD. MIS-C was a source of lower morbidity as the pandemic progressed.
Pre-existing classical music in French auteur cinema in the 2010s
Authors: Amorim Melo Alvim Luíza Beatriz
Published: October 2023

In the Nouvelle Vague, there was a relevant use of music of classical repertoire (Alvim, 2017), usually aligned to the director’s taste (“auter music”, according to Gorbman, 2007), such as Beethoven´s pieces in Godard’s films. In contemporary French films, there is a recurrence of works by Bach and Vivaldi, which could partly be explained by their omnipresence in digital platforms. In a chosen corpus from films selected by the Cannes Film Festivals in the 2010s, we analyze the aesthetic use of this baroque repertoire and the motivations for the choice.

Introduction. Laying the groundwork for developing scientific and engineering efforts and for obtaining the results necessary to create technologies, products, goods and services that provide the independence and competitiveness of the domestic agro-industrial complex is one of the main tasks for ensuring the food security of Russia. One of the most important and difficult agricultural operations is sowing carried out by seeders equipped with mechanical, pneumatic or pneumatic-mechanical seed-sowing devices.
Aim of the Article. The purpose of the research is to develop an experimental stand and a methodology for conducting experimental studies of the seed-sowing device for a grain seeder to build mathematical models of its performance when sowing various agricultural crops: wheat, rye, barley, oats, millet, vetch.
Materials and Methods. The mechanical roller feed unit is used on one of the most popular and applicable seeder, namely the universal block-modular seeder SUBM-3.6. It allows ensuring the uniformity of the seeding rate and the exact depth of seed embedding. These indicators are the main ones in assessing the performance of seeders. Considering the design features of the above-mentioned seeder is an important step in assessing its productivity.
Results. One of the main characteristics of the seeders is their productivity. In the article, there are presented the studies aimed at constructing a mathematical model of the dependence of the seeders productivity on the rotational speed of the drive shaft of the working bodies (rollers) pc (min–1) and the operating length of the rollers lc (mm). For this purpose, an experimental stand and methodology for conducting experimental studies of the productivity of the seeders were developed in accordance with modern methods of experiment planning.
Discussion and Conclusion. The analytical dependences of the seeding rate on the rotation frequency and the roller operating length obtained as a result of experimental studies will allow the most efficient use of roller feed units that in turn will influence the choice of optimal operating modes of the seeder SUBM-3.6.

Promising method for disposal the pine wood waste through extrusion pelleting using sulphate soap as a natural binder is considered in the article. Prior to pelleting, the wood waste requires drying to a water content of no more than 10%. Analysis of pine wood waste drying in filtration mode yielded optimal parameters: a 20 mm layer thickness, temperature of 135 °C, and drying time of 3,900 s. The optimal content of sulphate soap binder was determined to be about 20%, resulting in reduced coke residue, increased volatile components, higher calorific value, and enhanced static strength. This binder facilitates formation of pellets at lower pressures, increases calorific value, and acts as a lubricant, reducing friction and associated energy costs.
El «amor a Dios» en la filosofía para la vida de Descartes y la discrepancia de Spinoza
Authors: De-la-Cámara-García María-Luisa
Published: October 2023

En este artículo examino la noción de amor a Dios (amour envers Dieu) en Descartes, conectándola con los principios metafísicos de su sistema y con los objetivos a los que da respuesta, y mostrando sus beneficios para la vida de todo hombre. Los desacuerdos de Spinoza en esta materia no constituyen una discrepancia menor, sino que adquieren relevancia sistémica desde el momento en que el amor Dei está conectado con nociones centrales de su filosofía, como la idea de Dios y sus atributos, la relación del hombre con la sustancia infinita, la actividad mental-corporal, el conocimiento como expresión del deseo, la función liberadora de los afectos y la fruición del amor a Dios. Esta noción constituye una plataforma privilegiada para examinar las peculiaridades de los sistemas de Descartes y Spinoza, y deja ver notables diferencias en sus respectivos proyectos de naturalización de la realidad.
Valorized pineapple waste by conventional and energy-saving ohmic extraction: potentially toxic elements and mycotoxin contamination
Authors: Gavahian Mohsen
Published: October 2023

Pineapple peel is a food waste with environmental concerns. It can be valorized by extracting its bioactive compound through conventional and emerging technologies such as ohmic heating. However, mycotoxins and heavy metals contaminations could be concerns of such a valorization process. This study assessed the effects of conventional and ohmic heating on selected aflatoxins and metal ions in pineapple peel extract using high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Also, energy consumption and environmental impacts of the ohmic process were analyzed. According to the results, the ohmic-based valorization system reduced energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by more than 83%, contributing to net-zero and sustainable development goals (SDGs). Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 were below the detection limit (B1, G1: 0.2µg/kg; B2, G2: 0.1µg/kg). However, ohmic extracts contained higher concentrations of Cr, Pb, Ni, and Fe because of electrochemical reactions and electrode corrosion. Despite the capability of ohmic valorization systems, inspecting food waste and valorized products for hazardous chemicals and investing in durable electrodes (e.g., titanium) are among the considerations for ohmic systems’ industrial implementation.
A QUESTÃO DA DIFERENÇA NA LUTA PELOS DIREITOS DE GRUPOS VULNERABILIZADOS: UM ESTUDO DE CASO DO QUILOMBO SACOPÃ, NO RIO DE JANEIRO
Authors: Vasques Pedro Henrique Ramos Prado , Inatomi Celly Cook
Published: October 2023

O objetivo do trabalho é compreender as estratégias de resistência adotadas por grupos vulnerabilizados diante dos usos opressivos e conservadores do direito por atores estatais e privados. Parte-se do pressuposto de que a mobilização do direito por tais populações tem impactos efetivos sobre a realidade, indo além de contribuir para a concretização de suas demandas ou o acirramento de tensões e conflitos. Para isso, realiza-se um estudo de caso sobre a família Pinto que, na trajetória analisada vem a se constituir enquanto Quilombo Sacopã, localizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, mobilizando a literatura existente sobre o caso, material documental e processos judiciais. Dentre os principais resultados destaca-se as mudanças nas táticas de resistência e a relevância dos argumentos de ordem cultural para a permanência do Quilombo, considerando suas implicações para a dimensão familiar. Por fim, reitera as possibilidades de se contrapor o direito ao direito, reforçando a relevância política desse tipo de mobilização, em especial, quando vislumbrada como parte de um sistema cultural.
INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF VORTEX-INDUCED STRING CAVITATION ON FLOW AND SPRAY CHARACTERISTICS WITHIN DIESEL FUEL INJECTION NOZZLES
Authors: Li Chen , He Zhixia , Guan Wei , Guo Genmiao
Published: October 2023

The diesel fuel injection system relies heavily on the precise operation of the fuel injection nozzle,
universally recognized as its foundational component. A key factor significantly affecting both flow capacity and injection performance is the internal flow characteristics of the nozzle. This study investigates the vortex-induced string cavitation within fuel injector nozzles by incorporating high-speed imaging, particle image velocimetry techniques, and numerical simulations. The results demonstrate that an increase in injection pressure precipitates an escalation in string cavitation intensity, thus reducing the effective flow area and compromising internal flow capacity. Importantly, our study
confirms that, despite its intensified occurrence under higher pressure, string cavitation does not
cause significant erosion damage. Instead, it plays a pivotal role in promoting fuel atomization by
injecting it into a rotational state, facilitated by the cyclonic action within the nozzle. Furthermore,
our observations reveal a notable distinction between needle-hole string cavitation and hole-hole
string cavitation. Specifically, needle-hole string cavitation produces more extensive spray angles
compared to hole-hole string cavitation. However, it is crucial to note that the former exhibits reduced uniformity in the distribution of velocity fields and a weakening of the jet atomization effect.
In conclusion, this comprehensive study provides valuable insights into the intricate mechanisms of string cavitation. Through an exhaustive exploration of flow characteristics, erosion effects, and atomization processes, our work significantly contributes to the field of fuel injection system engineering.
Properties of Nitride-Coated Surgical Scalpel Blades

Published: October 2023

Surgical tools are used in many medical treatments and procedures that expose them to a wide range of biological conditions that induce corrosion, abrasion, and wear. A protective layer is often needed to prolong its useful life. Thus, it is essential to use appropriate coating techniques to improve the mechanical properties and chemical stability of the substrate. This work used a custom-built radio frequency-powered magnetron sputtering system for the deposition of titanium-(Ti-) based coatings, which were selected because of their reported biocompatibility and superior mechanical qualities. Titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) thin films were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel substrates and on IndoplasTM sterile scalpel blades. TiN was grown using a Ti target while TiAlN used a Ti-Al combinatorial target. Both films were deposited using a 90:10 admixture of argon (Ar) and nitrogen (N2) gases. The substrate bias was varied into three different potentials: 0, -100, and -200 V Substrate heating of 200°C was applied, and the deposition time was set at 120 min. The optimal parameters and material for surgical tools are found to be TiN deposited at -100 V and TiAlN deposited at -200 V substrate bias as they show the highest resistance to abrasion and corrosion, respectively, and without reducing the sharpness of the blades. This work aims to offer the medical community a practical and inexpensive method of protecting surgical instruments while extending service life.

Published: October 2023

This study presents structural and fundamental astrophysical parameters of poorly studied open cluster NGC 2509. We used the third photometric and astrometric data release of the Gaia (Gaia DR3) to perform analyses. By taking into account the Gaia DR3 astrometric data, we calculated the membership probabilities of the stars in the region of NGC 2509. As a result of the membership analysis, 244 stars with membership probabilities P  50% were determined as the physical members of the cluster. The colour excess, distance and age were obtained simultaneously by fitting solar metallicity PARSEC isochrones to G×GBP-GRP colour-magnitude diagram. We considered the most likely cluster member stars during the fitting procedure and calculated the colour excess, distance and age of the NGC 2509 as E(GBP-GRP) = 0.100±0.184 mag, d = 2518±667 pc and t = 1.5±0.1 Gyr, respectively.
