Metropolitan MaaS and DRT Schemes: Are They Paving the Way Towards a More Inclusive and Resilient Urban Environment?
Authors: Delponte Ilaria , Costa Valentina
Published: September 2022

Mobility-as-a-Service and Demand-Responsive-Transport schemes are promoting progressively a user-centered approach, made of modularity, flexibility and tailor-made travel experience, and pandemic emergency has furthermore enhanced this new way of thinking, thus representing an unprecedented occasion to develop a new paradigm for a more sustainable and resilient transport system, thus ensuring a greater level of social and territorial inclusion beyond traditional urban borders and outdated distinctions of targeted services for particular users’ categories. This paper discusses the main features of MaaS and DRT schemes in order to assess if they could be able to cope with Universal Design principles and to improve metropolitan accessibility accordingly to the urgent request for social and territorial inclusion as sustainable development pre-requisites, made by different stakeholders in the international and European debate (see UNO SDGs or EU Cork Declaration 2.0), and re-launched by many national initiatives (SNAI for Italy, Espana Vacìa for Spain…). To re-think metropolitan mobility as a service that can be shaped accordingly to user’s needs and to redefine transport supply as a complex puzzle made by different and complementary services could represent a unique opportunity to overcome one of traditional public transport dramatic problems: low mobility demand, whether it be due to sparsely populated areas or connected with specific demands of targeted population categories. Hence this paper recalls some of the recent DRT experiences already active in Genova Metropolitan Area -the so-called DRINBUS above all- along with the on-demand mobility strategy for Ligurian internal areas in order to discuss how this new user-centered approach is acting on the marginalization of remote territories and fragile user categories. The choice to develop a MaaS scheme could re-shape metropolitan mobility as a comprehensive and global mosaic made by multiple pieces, thus making more resilient the entire system thanks to its modularity and redundancy. This allows to make more sustainable “niche” services as well, according to the systemic nature of this mobility platform, thus opposing the present unsuccessful approach of creating ad-hoc options, focusing indeed on the user’s request to travel from point A to point B, without the need to define him as urban resident, commuter, disabled or not, towards a greater social inclusion and territorial cohesion.
Developed an Innovative Handbike Fork Made of Composite Material
Authors: Solazzi Luigi , Schinetti Giuseppe , Adamini Riccardo
Published: September 2022

In this research, the design of a new competitive handbike fork, made of a composite material, is presented. The study is based both on an early finite element analysis and on a CFD analysis of the characteristics and performance of a standard fork made of aluminum, allowing to define the loading and the flux conditions and to provide a design optimization of the fork. The model was later implemented iteratively with the properties of a carbon-fiber composite material. The results obtained show that the new model allows a weight and a drag force reduction and a downforce improvement, with a stiffness and a safety coefficient comparable to the standard aluminum fork.
Toward an Inclusive and Independent Fruition of Architecture: The Use of Scale Models and Augmented Reality
Authors: Cavalieri Federico , Rotilio Marianna , De Berardinis Pierluigi
Published: September 2022

While there are many places in Italy that cater to the population with low vision or who is blind, for example the “Museo Tattile Statale Omero” in Ancona, the remarks made by the Unione Italiana Ciechi e Ipovedenti (U.I.C.I) of Bologna on the issue state that “the issues produced by perceptual barriers, inherent in visual disabilities, do not find adequate answers in the current accessibility regulations”. To integrate the accessibility of museums and other cultural services, considered by UNESCO as a fundamental human right that must be granted to people with disabilities (article 30, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) the authors present a design, in its early stages, of a system that aims to make the fruition of scale models independent for users with low vision or who are blind. Said system aims to integrate some sort of augmented reality to haptic perception by reproducing sound cues to help users with disabilities navigate a single, or a series of models without any outside aid. The system is based on the deployment of technological plinths to support the scale models. This approach is well fit for retrofitting existing scale models while integrating the navigation system in an effective fashion. The activation of the plinths will be triggered using a smartphone app (either using NFC or Bluetooth) and will reproduce a set routine to guide the user in the haptic exploration of the models. On the outer rim of the plinths a series of triggers and devices will be placed for the user to interact, while leaving some space between the elements to house details at a larger scale or braille plaques. The triggers will be distinguished by their shape, a proud start trigger and a recessed end trigger; the interface is completed by an array of 8 speakers (one each 45°) with the possibility of ulterior sound emitting elements embodied in new models. The current design also defines the properties of the material that will be used in the prototyping phase by excluding rough surfaces that could introduce haptic noise and suggesting the use of thermoplastic polymers or stabilized wood over metals (since a metallic surface could be problematic in exterior installations due to its high thermal conductivity). The concurrent deployment of multiple plinths will consent the independent navigation and queuing of users in a contained exhibit by triggering a positional sound to guide them, while in urban context the app will have to be integrated with systems that implemented detailed voice guidance such as google maps. The paper ends by describing the future prototyping stages the system is expected to go through to fine tune the preliminary design.
A Multisensorial Storytelling Design Strategy to Build Empathy and a Culture of Inclusion
Authors: Rieger Janice , Chamorro-Koc Marianella
Published: September 2022

The Wondrous Goggles project is a multisensorial storytelling design strategy to explore the experiential world of people who are blind or have low vision, with the aim of raising awareness about inclusive places for work and play. The need for this exploratory storytelling design strategy is predominantly educational, as a tool to inform designers, policy makers, and technology developers of how people with blindness or low vision experience public spaces. The Wondrous Googles are specifically designed to facilitate an understanding of the navigational and spatial perception of people with low vision. During use, the Wondrous Goggles enable the user to gain a sense of limited vision and provide a vehicle for the wearer to embark upon a process of feeling, sensing, and reflecting while listening to the narration of someone who has navigated the space with low vision. Unlike other technologies that create virtual reality, or an augmented reality based on vision alone, the Wondrous Goggles create a multisensorial storytelling experience through the lived experience of a person with low vision, to gain an understanding of people’s lived experiences in navigating public spaces, in order to create cultures of inclusion.
Does Pure Contemplation Belong to Architecture? The Denied Ramps at the Church of San Salvatore in the Santa Giulia Museum in Brescia
Authors: Arenghi Alberto , Coccoli Carlotta
Published: September 2022

This paper addresses the issue of balancing the two values underlying the accessibility and conservation of cultural heritage: its use and its protection. These values are often, wrongly, regarded as opposites, or as incompatible. The reason for this contrast originates in the way of understanding ancient architecture and in the value of the relationship between architecture and people. This issue is considered by presenting a recent case concerning the Museum of Santa Giulia in Brescia, a multi-layered complex that preserves evidence ranging from the prehistoric to the contemporary age, housed in a monastic complex of Longobard origin. The recent failure to build some ramps proposed for increasing accessibility to the church of San Salvatore, an integral part of the museum’s itinerary, offers an opportunity to reflect on the need for better integration between different, and only apparently opposed, instances. The topic is dealt with by referring to the most recent disciplinary reflections in the field of conservation carried out in Italy with respect to the issue of accessibility to the cultural heritage, without neglecting juridical-normative aspects and international documents, such as the Faro Convention. This multidisciplinary reading aims to highlight the main significance of accessing cultural heritage, with reference also to the objectives of sustainable development and the human development of the individual and the reference community.
How Can We Ensure Accessibility of Cultural Heritage? Toward Better Utilization of Existing Assets in Japanese Context
Authors: Kose Satoshi
Published: September 2022

How can we ensure accessibility of historical buildings that were built before the idea was ever dreamt of? Important historic monuments such as World Heritage have come to be made to some extent accessible with due consideration of their historical value (in extreme case, no accessibility is available, and replicated models or virtual reality is alternatively in place). Many buildings that are currently in use pose problems because they have to be usable by everyone. To what extent the historical values can be sacrificed for accessibility and usability? This paper tries to propose some ideas to meet both needs of historical significance and accessibility/usability through examination of several Japanese examples.
Outside, Around, Inside. New Paths to Discover San Michele Castle (Cagliari, Sardinia)
Authors: Argiolas Raffaele , Mannai Elisabetta , Pintus Valentina
Published: September 2022

In the framework of conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage, accessibility plays a crucial role. Architectural heritage peculiarities call for specific approaches: the same care must be adopted to improve accessibility to historic architecture, designing actions case by case. Starting from these considerations, the contribution is aimed to discuss the accessibility of fortified architecture, a not easily accessible heritage, to make it accessible both in a physical meaning as well as in cognitive, cultural and social. Particularly, the authors propose some reflections about alternative ways of usability for inaccessible architectures due to their typological configuration and as a consequence of previous conservation design. The case study is the medieval castle of San Michele in Cagliari (Sardinia), which was transformed several times during its life and restored at the end of the 20th century. The contribution analyses how a multidisciplinary approach is necessary for the formulation of effective accessibility solutions, especially in complex cases such as fortified architecture. This multidisciplinary approach must be accompanied by the widest possible consideration of the causes limiting accessibility, whether they are physical or related to motor, perceptive or cognitive disabilities.
Urban Accessibility in World Heritage Cities. Accessibility Considerations in Pedestrian Routes in Historic City Centres
Authors: Jiménez Martín Delfín , Ramírez Saiz Alba , Ajuriaguerra Escudero Miguel Angel
Published: September 2022

In Spain, fifteen cities have been declared World Heritage Cities by UNESCO. This implies a responsibility to conserve all the heritage wealth of these places. However, what is the point of heritage if it cannot be known and visited? In order to be able to do this for all people, in equal and inclusive conditions, it is essential to consider Accessibility and Universal Design principles. This is a challenge that requires a personalised study in places that were precisely built with the idea of being inaccessible. In particular, the study of the urban fabric and pedestrian itineraries are the determining spaces that this article develops. The aim of this study is to determine the keys and possible guidelines for the definition of urban accessibility indicators in the routes of historic city centres. For this purpose, significant routes have been sought in historic centres from the accessibility point of view: areas of high pedestrian traffic (in many cases for tourist reasons). Thus, six of the fifteen historic quarters of the World Heritage Cities in Spain have been selected for the study, with examples of good accessibility practices and difficulties that can be identified in their itineraries. For this analysis, an initial study of the existing documentation on the subject (secondary information sources) is carried out, in addition to a direct analysis (primary information source) of the graphic documentation compiled in each of these places. Subsequently, a complementary analysis will be made of some examples of good practice in pedestrian routes in historic city centres in cities in other countries. On the basis of this preliminary analysis, a comparison will be made to establish common points and singularities among the different case studies first, and then with other cities. This diagnosis provides results that are identified as “keys to consider in the intervention on pedestrian routes in historic centres”. These keys not only address issues of mobility, but also location, orientation, understanding, etc., thus addressing a holistic consideration of accessibility as a fundamental principle for all people, and in particular for the elderly sector, which is one of the groups that is clearly growing and which, without necessarily having to have a severe or recognised disability, needs an accessible environment that is easy to use. As a main conclusion, it can be said that the results of this study do not only have an internal application for these cities but can be perfectly extrapolated as a basis for the elaboration of specific indicators for any historic city centre in any city in the world, considering the necessary adaptation to the specific characteristics of each city.
Improving the Accessibility of Cultural Sites During Pandemic Through Microclimate Control. The Case of CapsulART Applied to the MANN Museum in Naples
Authors: Pretelli Marco , Signorelli Leila , De Vivo Maria Antonietta
Published: September 2022

The use of cultural sites has been profoundly altered by the recent pandemic events with relevant consequences on the cultural heritage industry. While before the CoVid-19 pandemic access to Cultural Sites used to involve a simplified form of control, in the transitional period between the pandemic and the post-pandemic, additional steps are required. The research aims to combine seemingly distant aspects: counteracting the spread of contagion and reorganising the admission processes to institutes of culture, such as museums. Based on the literature, it has been shown that the parameters determining air quality (temperature, relative humidity, concentration of pollutants, dust, CO2, etc.) influence the state of conservation of works of art, while their interaction with the spread of the epidemic has been slightly investigated. The research seeks to find innovative technological solutions to allow access and safe visits to the greatest possible number of users. A conscious design, therefore, must be put in place to allow everyone to enjoy works of art, exhibitions and shows. This is how the concept of universal design is declined here, introducing the concept of ‘safe environment accessibility’. The first results of a research carried out on the microclimate and the air quality inside Tyrannicides Hall at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN) will be presented. A device called ‘CapsulART’ is designed to be placed at the entrance of a specific room, which acts as a filter and as a decompression chamber to lower the level of pollutants present on people’s clothes and shoe soles. Through a reduction in temperature, parameters that may increase the ease of contagion (e.g. sweating) should be decreased.
Accessible University: Architectural Design for Special Needs Users Integration. Design Proposals for Politecnico di Torino
Authors: Lacirignola Angela , Azzolino Cristina , Savio Lorenzo
Published: September 2022

In Italian and international universities, more and more attention is paid to special needs users who are part of the student and academic community. The socalled special needs are students and employers with specific needs deriving from physical disabilities or cognitive difficulties of different nature and severity, for whom it is necessary to provide specific services for the ordinary carrying out of their activities forward their full inclusion in the university community. The problem of special needs full inclusion must be addressed by overcoming the idea that they constitute a separate group from the rest of the community. Indeed, there should not be a project for special needs, but all spaces should be inclusive and designed “for all”. The paper describes the TAL, Turin Accessibility Lab research group, activities concern the accessibility of study spaces, within the perspectives of Politecnico di Torino Masterplan and with the involvement of the users themselves and in collaboration with the institutional actors who deal with users with special needs.

Published: September 2022

The aim of this paper is to present the use of Medical Informatics Multilingual Ontology (MIMO) to index digital health resources that are (and will be) included in SaNuRN (project to teach digital health). MIMO currently contains 1,379 concepts and is integrated into HeTOP, which is a cross-lingual multiterminogy server. Existing teaching resources have been reindexed with MIMO concepts and integrated into a dedicated website. A total of 345 resources have been indexed with MIMO concepts and are freely available at https://doccismef.chu-rouen.fr/dc/#env=sanurn. The development of a multilingual MIMO for enhancing the quality and the efficiency of international projects is challenging. A specific semantic search engine has been deployed to give access to digital health teaching resources.
Developing the Digital Healthcare Workforce in Italy: The SIBIM Experience
Authors: Marceglia Sara , Balestra Gabriella , Bottrighi Alessio , Giacomini Mauro , Veltri Pierangelo , Sacchi Lucia
Published: September 2022

The digital healthcare workforce is usually composed of two major types of professionals: the healthcare workers, who are the users of eHealth, and the health informatics developers, who are usually computer scientists, biomedical engineers, or other technical experts. Health informatics educators have the responsibility to develop the appropriate skills for both, acting within their specific curricula. Here we present the experience of the Italian Society of Biomedical Informatics (SIBIM) and show that, whereas the technical curricula are widely covered with a large range of topics, the eHealth education in medical curricula is often limited to simple bioengineering and informatics skills, thus suggesting that eHealth associations and organizations at the national level should focus their efforts towards increasing the level of eHealth contents in medical schools.
Digitalization of Health Data: Interoperability of the Proposed European Health Data Space
Authors: Stellmach Caroline , Muzoora Michael R. , Thun Sylvia
Published: September 2022

On May 3rd, 2022, the European Commission published its legislative proposal to create a European Health Data Space (EHDS) enabling citizens of the European Union to gain secure access to their electronic health data by establishing a market for digital health. This market will feature the primary and secondary use of electronic health records by digital products and services. The articles of the proposal address many aspects of ensuring health data interoperability. That includes the creation of a European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format for defined data categories including patient summaries and electronic prescriptions, the development of a central platform to provide a cross-border digital infrastructure and that each Member State institutes a digital health authority and a national point of contact. In addition, the Commission will define common specifications that electronic health record systems and medical devices will have to meet as interoperability requirements. In its current form, the proposal does not stipulate specific standards that need to be universally adopted to ensure semantic and syntactical interoperability. Considering that many datasets are not internationally harmonized and lack standardization, these specifications will need to be provided for example by existing standards like the International Patient Summary.

Convergent and Discriminant Validity of the English Prosodic Phonology Processing Test (EPPPT): A Multi-Trait Multimethod Approach
Authors: Ayieko Gerry
Published: September 2022

Most of the prosody perception tests do not capture how listeners perceive and interpret stress, tone, and intonation in the process of listening comprehension. The current study developed the English Prosodic Phonology Processing Test (EPPPT). A sample of 240 Luo speaking high school students were tested using Confirmatory Factory Analysis (CFA) in a multi-trait multimethod matrix. Four traits were measured including word prosody, sentence prosody, juncture, and discourse prosody. Three methods were used including the picture selection task, stress assignment task, and chunking task. CFA confirmed the current taxonomy of the diverse traits of English prosodic phonology: word stress, sentence stress, open and closed junctures, and discourse. The methods yielded statistically significant differences among the discriminant validity of these traits. The model fit was better when the different prosodic traits were specified (convergent validity), while the methods of testing yielded distinguishable, unique types of information about prosodic phonology processing. Using a battery of five tests, the results of EPPPT showed that the traits are quite independent of each other and the method effect is not significant.

The Feminine, The Feminist and The Female: Evolution and Trends in the English Writings of Pakistani Women
Authors: Malik Waseem Hassan , Junejo Musaib
Published: September 2022

This paper presents a brief review of Pakistani women writers and their contribution to Pakistani literature in English. The study focuses on the evolution, trends, and characteristic features of their writing. Furthermore, in order to have a discernible view, Elaine Showalter’s methodology is used to categorize the development of women’s writing into three phases: the feminine, the feminist and the female. The findings of the study reveal that though slow and late in its evolution, women's writing forms a significant part of the Anglophone literary canon in Pakistan. Women writers have set a feminine tradition, peculiar in its consciousness, characters, and themes. Feminism is one of the influencing factors in their writing along with the representation of domestic issues. The study shows that women’s writing is markedly different from that of men’s. Women writers are more sensitive to the habitat they live in. As a result, their writing tends to be melodramatic and autobiographical. Moreover, they are true representatives of their gendered community. Mostly, their writing portrays women and their issues in domestic and public spheres. The current paper will help to understand women’s role, position, and degree of influence in the literary field from a broader perspective. Keywords: evolution, feminism, Pakistani English fiction, trends, women’s writing
ESL Teachers’ Perceptions regarding the Usefulness of Oral Corrective Feedback at Undergraduate Level
Authors: Sadiq Huma , Hameed Farrukh , Ahmed Hafiz Tahzeeb
Published: September 2022

This research aims to examine the perceptions of undergraduate level ESL teachers regarding oral feedback and its impact on student learning. In this regard, this study attempts to determine the particular method of corrective feedback (CF) teachers perceive to be useful, how they apply this method in language classroom, and how their feedback affects the learning of students. Hence, the current study examines how the input of L2 teachers influences the motivation, confidence, self-esteem, student-teacher relationship, and identity of students at undergraduate level. Data was collected through two qualitative research tools: “observations” and “semi-structured interviews”. Purposive sampling method was used and eight L2 teachers of a private university were sampled for this study. The observations of the selected teachers were conducted for 18 hours and semi-structured interviews were also conducted afterwards. Thematic analysis of the data revealed that direct CF was perceived and used by L2 teachers as the best way of correcting students. It was found that the participants had practical experience of direct CF. Moreover, it was concluded that direct CF and reasonable inquiries can influence motivation, confidence, self-esteem, and student-teacher relationship. The findings have useful implications for both theory and practice because they improve on the general guidelines for L2 teachers regarding what type of CF can be beneficial for L2 students, how their feedback can encourage or discourage students, and how they can correct the mistakes of students in an effective way.

English Vowel Sounds: An Empirical Study of Gamification Strategy at Nursery Level
Authors: Shahid Muhammad Ali , Mahmood Anser , Syed Ali Furqan
Published: September 2022

The current empirical study aimed to stimulate and measure the competence level of children for learning vowel sounds at nursery level at Right School, Model Town, Sillanwali. Sound-bingo strategy was used for distinguishing and learning vowel sounds in the context of gamification efficacy. Gamification frameworks can boost dedication, while also developing learning execution at the same time. In any case, only a few studies have been undertaken to address the constructs used to analyse the effects of gamification on people. The current study implemented Mathew Nudds and Casey Callaghan’s ‘Theory of Auditory Perception’ as its theoretical framework. According to the theory, the information we hear is comprehensible. The researchers used the purposive sampling technique and an achievement exam to obtain data for this study. Data was collected from two distinct groups of twenty-five students apiece, named Iqbal and Quaid, respectively. Quaid group was designated as the control group and Iqbal group as the experimental group. Utilising the gamification technique, both groups were subjected to a test without learning. Sound-bingo technique was utilised to deliver a specific corpus of vowel sounds to Iqbal group. The results revealed that when an activity is gamified, a meaningful goal needs to be provided before the action can be adequately rated. An all-around organised game could help to enhance children’s motivation, commitment, and mental turn of events. The current study concludes that gamification can influence the students’ attitudes toward language learning and its effective application can help them learn better.

Published: September 2022

Während Demokratie politische Gleichheit verspricht, ist sie real von Ungleichheit durchzogen. Je stärker Menschen gesellschaftlich marginalisiert sind, umso geringer ist tendenziell die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass sie sich aktiv an Wahlen oder zivilgesellschaftlichen Politikformen beteiligen. Auf der Grundlage empirischer Forschung zum Alltag von Geflüchteten zeigt der Artikel, dass Ohnmachtserfahrungen und die Erfahrung, nicht anspruchsberechtigt zu sein, für politische Nicht-Partizipation eine entscheidende Rolle spielen. Er erweitert damit bestehende politikwissenschaftliche Erklärungsmodelle politischer Ungleichheit um eine erfahrungs- und gesellschaftszentrierte Perspektive.

Published: September 2022

This paper aims a model for the characterization and planning of electricity demand in isolated networks when there is no information from the measurement system, a typical scenario in the Colombian Non-Interconnected Zone. This research is based on Arvidson method of the publication entitled: "Diversified demand method of estimating residential distribution transformer loads". This study proposes consumption indices for typical household appliances based on a statistical analysis of load censuses. Then, a timely contrast is made between the curves of the Arvidson study and the generation curves of the isolated network because there is no direct measurement in the end-users and by macrometers associated with the transformers. With this information, we proceed to complement the validated Arvidson curve with its own index; this index allows the proposed curve to be readjusted to a similar curve, per unit, with the generation profile. The main contribution is to propose a new factor, in order to, contextualizes and diversifies the Arvidson method to specific case studies to building daily electricity demand and diversified demand curves as tools for planning the electrical system and managing the electrical infrastructure.

Афілофороїдні гриби у паркових ценозах виконують низку важливих функцій. Оскільки, переважна більшість представників цієї групи є дерево руйнівними грибами, що розкладають лігноцелюлозний комплекс деревних субстратів різного походження. Сапротрофні гриби забезпечують нормальний колообіг речовини та енергії, здійснюючи розклад рослинної органіки. Основне місце зростання афілофороїдних грибів грибів – дерева, тому найбільшу роль вони відіграють для дерев, оскільки одна частина грибів паразитує на них, друга – веде сапротрофний спосіб життя, третя утворює взаємовигідні умови існування як для дерев, так і для грибів. На території дослідження, а саме, у парках міста Дрогобич видове різноманіття афілофороїдних грибів у парках міста Дрогобич розприділилося наступним чином: парк « імені Богдана Хмельницького» – 29 видів; парк «Новонароджених» – 16 видів; Дрогобицький міський парк культури та відпочинку – 12 видів; парк «Університетський парк Франка» – 8 видів; парк «імені Степана Бандани» – 6 видів; парк «Екопарк студентський» – 3 види. У шести парках міста Дрогобич трапляється 34 види афілофороїдних грибів, які належать до п’яти порядків. Із них: 9 – видів були знайдені на живих та ослаблених деревних листяних породах дерев і є грибами паразитами; 21 – вид, траплявся на повалених деревах, пеньках, опалих гілках, є сапротрофними грибами; 4 – види траплялися у грунтовому покриві, та є симбіотрофами.

Якість води місцевих джерел водопостачання регламентується санітарними нормами України. Здійснено моніторинг якості криничних вод Самбірського району за санітарно-хімічними показниками (загальне мікробне число, колі-індекс, вміст нітратів, нітритів, йонів амонію, фосфатів, рН і мінералізацію) у межах населених пунктів с. Ралівка, с. Баранівці, с. Сіде, с. Бережниця, с. Черхава, с. Рудки та м. Самбір. Результати моніторингу якості криничних вод свідчать про перевищення допустимих показників загального мікробного числа і колі-індексу у с. Баранівці, с. Ралівка та м. Самбір впродовж року. Уміст нітритів і фосфатів не перевищували ГДК у всіх досліджуваних криницях. Уміст нітратів і аміаку у криничних водах досліджуваної території перевищував ГДК у більшості населених пунктів. Уміст іонів амонію у воді досліджуваних територій коливалася в межах 1,7–7,9 мг/л й середньорічні значення перевищували ГДК (2,6 мг/л) у с. Бережниця, с. Баранівці, с. Сіде, м. Самбір, с. Черхава, с. Рудки. Переважна більшість досліджуваних вод Самбірського району не відповідає нормативам якості для питних вод щонайменше за одним санітарно-хімічним показником. В Україні необхідно розробити комплексну систему моніторингу якості вид з індивідуальних криниць, яка зможе контролювати їх якість й забезпечить здоров’я населення.

Authors: Dananjaya Agung Anak Agung Gde , Anggreni Ni Kadek Sintya
Published: September 2022

Objectives: This review aims to understand the effectiveness of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in the management of dentigerous cysts by looking at the advantages and disadvantages based on the quality of the resulting radiographic images.

Review: Based on the literature review that has been carried out on 10 journals were eliminated from 22 journals that had the criteria according to the topic but there was a duplication in the identification results of the initial 50 journals from Pubmed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and EuropePMC, with a range of 2012-2022 using the Boolean Operator Strategy with inclusion criteria developed from PICOS framework, it was found that the CBCT radiographic method is the most widely used method in the management of dentigerous cysts because of the predominance of advantages over disadvantages. This radiographic method is able to produce three-dimensional radiographic images without overlapping structures, distortions, and amplifications at a low cost, although it has weaknesses.

Conclusion: CBCT 3D may assess dentigerous cyst lesions effectively by taking into account several considerations and the accuracy of the SOP in its use. This radiography method can provide clear radiographic images without structural overlap, distortion, and amplification at a low cost to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan despite the drawbacks as a new result of development technologies in dental radiography.
HAYAT SİGORTALARI KAPSAMINDA HACİZ HAKKI

Hayat sigortasında riziko, insanların ölümü veya sigorta sözleşmesinde belirtilen tarihte hayatta kalmasıdır; bunun yanı sıra ölüm ve hayatta kalma olasılığına karşı karma şekilde de hayat sigortası sözleşmesi yapılabilir. Hayatı üzerine sigorta sözleşmesi yapılan yani sigorta sözleşmesine konu olan kişiye sigortalı; sigortacıya prim ödeyerek sigortalının menfaatini sigortacı nezdinde sigortalayan kişiye sigorta ettiren; hayat sigortası sözleşmesinin tarafı konumunda olmayan fakat lehine sigorta sözleşmesi yapılan ve rizikonun gerçekleşmesi halinde kural olarak sigorta bedelini sigortacıdan isteme hakkına sahip olan kişiye ise lehtar denilmektedir. Sigorta ettiren hayat sigortası sözleşmesini kendi lehine yapabileceği gibi; üçüncü kişi lehine de yapabilir. Sigorta ettiren, dönülebilir ya da dönülemez şekilde lehtar tayin edebilir. Rizikonun gerçekleşmesi durumunda sigortacının sigorta bedelini kime ödeyeceğinin ve dolayısıyla sigorta bedeli üzerindeki alacak hakkının kimin malvarlığına dâhil olduğunun tespiti gerekir; bu tespit haciz bakımından önem arz eder. Zira haczin konusu borçlunun malvarlığıdır. Sigorta bedeli üzerindeki alacak hakkı da haczin konusunu oluşturur niteliktedir. Sigorta bedelinin sigorta ettirenin malvarlığında olduğu kabul edilirse, sigorta ettirenin alacaklılarının; lehtarın malvarlığında olduğu kabul edilirse, lehtarın alacaklılarının bu bedel üzerine haciz koydurmak suretiyle alacaklarına kavuşmaları söz konusu olabilecektir.
