The Energy-Oriented Management of Public Historic Buildings: An Integrated Approach and Methodology Applications
Authors: Cecchini Cristina , Magrini Anna , Morandotti Marco
Published: June 2020

In the European framework, there is a strong drive to develop integrated approaches aimed at understanding and improving the energy behavior of public historic buildings within urban contexts. However, the examples already provided tend to address the issue from mono-disciplinary perspectives, losing the opportunity for a coordinated view. The research suggests a methodology to reach the definition of a three-dimensional database, which incorporates spatial models and energy information, with the final goal of merging heterogeneous information that is useful to interpret the overall framework and to design sustainable development scenarios. The platform achieves GIS (Geographic Information System) and BIM (Building Information Modeling) integration by using the CityGML data model, for supporting multi-scale analyses without break of continuity, ranging from urban to building level. The discussion combines the applicative case with the theoretical background, deepening the role of a solid knowledge framework as a basis for sustainable interventions on public historic buildings. To better explain and test the methodology, a case study on the University built heritage of Pavia is presented and three possible outputs deriving from the database are discussed. The example demonstrates the strength of the approach, which is able to provide a variety of results coming from a unique source of information, ensuring coherence and unambiguousness at all levels of investigation.

Published: June 2020

Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is successful in maintaining undetectable levels of HIV in the blood; however, the persistence of latent HIV reservoirs has become the major barrier for a HIV cure. Substantial efforts are underway in finding the best latency-reversing agents (LRAs) to purge the latent viruses from the reservoirs. We hypothesize that identifying the right combination of LRAs will be the key to accomplishing that goal. In this study, we evaluated the effect of combinations of three protein kinase C activators (prostratin, (-)-indolactam V, and TPPB) with four histone deacetylase inhibitors (AR-42, PCI-24781, givinostat, and belinostat) on reversing HIV latency in different cell lines including in a primary CD4+ T-cell model. Combinations including indolactam and TPPB with AR-42 and PCI produced a strong synergistic effect in reactivating latent virus as indicated by higher p24 production and envelope gp120 expression. Furthermore, treatment with TPPB and indolactam greatly downregulated the cellular receptor CD4. Indolactam/AR-42 combination emerged from this study as the best combination that showed a strong synergistic effect in reactivating latent virus. Although AR-42 alone did not downregulate CD4 expression, indolactam/AR-42 showed the most efficient downregulation. Our results suggest that indolactam/AR-42 is the most effective combination, showing a strong synergistic effect in reversing HIV latency combined with the most efficient CD4 downregulation.

Published: June 2020

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causes severe respiratory illness in humans; the second-largest and most deadly outbreak to date occurred in Saudi Arabia. The dromedary camel is considered a possible host of the virus and also to act as a reservoir, transmitting the virus to humans. Here, we studied evolutionary relationships for 31 complete genomes of betacoronaviruses, including eight newly sequenced MERS-CoV genomes isolated from dromedary camels in Saudi Arabia. Through bioinformatics tools, we also used available sequences and 3D structure of MERS-CoV spike glycoprotein to predict MERS-CoV epitopes and assess antibody binding affinity. Phylogenetic analysis showed the eight new sequences have close relationships with existing strains detected in camels and humans in Arabian Gulf countries. The 2019-nCov strain appears to have higher homology to both bat coronavirus and SARS-CoV than to MERS-CoV strains. The spike protein tree exhibited clustering of MERS-CoV sequences similar to the complete genome tree, except for one sequence from Qatar (KF961222). B cell epitope analysis determined that the MERS-CoV spike protein has 24 total discontinuous regions from which just six epitopes were selected with score values of >80%. Our results suggest that the virus circulates by way of camels crossing the borders of Arabian Gulf countries. This study contributes to finding more effective vaccines in order to provide long-term protection against MERS-CoV and identifying neutralizing antibodies.
Primary Sjogren Syndrome: Focus on Innate Immune Cells and Inflammation
Authors: Rizzo Chiara , Grasso Giulia , Destro Castaniti Giulia Maria , Ciccia Francesco , Guggino Giuliana
Published: June 2020

Primary Sjogren Syndrome (pSS) is a complex, multifactorial rheumatic disease that mainly targets salivary and lacrimal glands, inducing epithelitis. The cause behind the autoimmunity outbreak in pSS is still elusive; however, it seems related to an aberrant reaction to exogenous triggers such as viruses, combined with individual genetic pre-disposition. For a long time, autoantibodies were considered as the hallmarks of this disease; however, more recently the complex interplay between innate and adaptive immunity as well as the consequent inflammatory process have emerged as the main mechanisms of pSS pathogenesis. The present review will focus on innate cells and on the principal mechanisms of inflammation connected. In the first part, an overview of innate cells involved in pSS pathogenesis is provided, stressing in particular the role of Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs). Subsequently we have highlighted the main inflammatory pathways, including intra- and extra-cellular players. A better knowledge of such processes could determine the detection of new therapeutic targets that are a major need for pSS.
APPLICATION OF STEPWISE AND ITERATIVE METHOD IN THE CALCULATION OF BENDING PRESTRESSED PRECAST AND MONOLITHIC ELEMENTS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT PHYSICAL NONLINEARITY
Authors: Davidenko Polina , Sami Yasser Garib , Shevchenko Andrey
Published: June 2020

precast and monolithic reinforced concrete structures with and without prestressing armature voltages are used as newly designed independent ones, and are the result of work to strengthen existing structures by increasing the cross section. In both cases, the cross-section of such elements is considered as a two-layer, and the resulting composite element operates under load in conditions distributed between the layers of internal forces, the mechanism and the actual value of the distribution of which depends on the physical and mechanical characteristics, the design scheme and the parameters of the contact interaction of the layers. When calculating and designing prestressed reinforced concrete precast and monolithic elements, the shear seam compliance is usually not taken into account, which complicates the analysis of the actual stress-strain state of the structure and contains a certain undisclosed potential for its rational design. One of the possible directions in solving the problem, taking into account the shift of the contact seam, is the use of variational principles of structural mechanics in the calculation of structures such as composite cross-section rods. In the framework of this work, the questions of practical applicability in the structural analysis of composite reinforced concrete precast-monolithic rod of variation principles of structural mechanics based on the method of V.Z. Vlasov – I.E. Mileykovsky in the form of displacements in combination with the stepwise-iterative method of calculation are considered. The results of numerical calculations by the proposed method are presented, which allows to take into account the specifics of the shear bonds of the precast and monolithic layer, to carry out practical accounting of the seam compliance, as well as to take into account the physical nonlinearity of the characteristics of materials, which allows the rational design of precast monolithic structures.

Published: June 2020

design, construction and operation of earth hydrotechnical structures located in seismic regions require a continuous improvement of computational methods for calculating various loads (static and dynamic ones). On the basis of the developed methodology and the complex of applied programs, an earth dam (Tupolang HPP) is calculated for the basic loads (gravity forces, hydrostatics) taking into account the design features and the actual physical and mechanical characteristics of soil both at the structure and at its earth foundation ( the height of the structure is 165m).The problem is solved in a plane elastic statement by the numerical finite element method. As the result of the calculation the isolines were obtained of equal displacements (horizontal and vertical), stresses (normal, tangential, principal) over the area occupied by the structure and its inhomogeneous foundation. A number of physical conclusions were made regarding the construction of important structures on an inhomogeneous earth foundation.
DIRECTED REGULATION OF PROPERTIES OF ASPHALT CONCRETE BY NANOCARBON OBJECTS
Authors: Al'-Shalaut Imad Ali , Vysotskaya M. , Kuznecov D. , Kurlykina A.
Published: June 2020

directed regulation of asphalt concrete properties is an important condition for obtaining a durable material that minimizes operating costs. One of such perspective directions is modification of building compositions by nanoscale objects. The method of modification of mineral powder from dolomite by carbon nanotubes is considered in the work, and results of tests of asphalt concrete on its basis are given. It is shown that the use of nanomodified dispersed dolomite in the technology of preparation of asphalt concrete mixture on the surface of the grains of mineral material forms a strong, high-temperature resistant layer of structured bitumen. The increase in the dynamic viscosity of bitumen and the complex shear modulus under the influence of CNT contributes to the change in the yield strength of asphalt concrete above the maximum shear stresses, which leads to a slight accumulation of residual plastic deformations in the plate in the study of the resistance to ruts. Thus, modification of bitumen and asphalt concrete with nanoscale additives can be an effective tool in the fight against plastic deformations such as shifts, surges and rutting in hot climates, for example, in Jordan.

Authors: Deryushev V. , Zayceva M. , Evseev D. , Kosenko E.
Published: June 2020

significant thermal stresses arising in thin-walled metal materials and structures loaded with tensile stresses can lead either to their complete destruction or to the appearance of discontinuity zones in them. The equations for calculation of temperature stresses in flat thin-walled structures at their localized thermal heating caused by the action of concentrated energy flows are analyzed. As an example, a thin-walled stretched plate subjected to strong local heating in a circular spot is considered. The developed model takes into account the change of elastic characteristics under strong local heating and the change in the thickness of the material in the heating spot. As an example, the diagram of the distribution of tangential stresses for a stretched plate in the area of a circular heating spot is given. Thus, the results of the study show that there is a rupture and concentration of stresses along the contour of the heating spot from the cold zone.

Authors: Huda Kazi Nazmul
Published: June 2020

The main purpose of this research is to identify the problems of traditional internship programs conducted at tertiary level educational institutions and propose a practical model of the internship entrepreneurship program. The qualitative research method has been used here to explore the existing problems of traditional  internship programs, and rationalize the necessity of entrepreneurship internship program of Southern University Bangladesh (SUB)as an alternative to the traditional internship program. In this regard, three focused group discussions were conducted with three main stakeholders, namely the faculty guide, the internship supervisors of the host company, and the student interns. The study discovered different weaknesses of traditional internship programs conducted in the university, including the limited scope of internship, noncooperation by the host companies, and the limitation of time. However, all the stakeholders are on the same page regarding the incapacity of traditional internship programs in developing the entrepreneurial spirit and aspiration among the interns. The study proposed the SUB model as an independent way to conduct an entrepreneurship-friendly internship program at tertiary level education, which may help the concerned to overcome the challenges of a traditional internship program. This research may contribute to the body of knowledge of higher education management and may support academia to develop an entrepreneurship development centered curriculum.
Family Involvement and Immigrant Parents: Perceptions of Indian mothers in Vienna
Authors: Subasi Singh Seyda
Published: June 2020

This study was conducted in Austria with Indian immigrant mothers to understand their perceptions and experiences about family involvement in education. Family involvement in education can promote a wide range of benefits for all, and especially for immigrant children. The qualitativeinterpretative research methodology was adopted, and ten mothers participated in the research through semi-structured interviews. The constant-comparative data analysis policy made it possible to adapt the following interviews based on the emerging domains. The data analysis yielded four domains, including the meaning of family involvement, barriers to family involvement, the support systems for family involvement, and being involved as an immigrant parent. The findings showed that the cultural capital of parents has a significant impact on the understandings of  family involvement for immigrant parents.On the other hand, the support that the families get is limited to the support provided by teachers. However, this type of support is understood as encouragement and is highly appreciated by parents. Lastly, being an immigrant adds up to the challenges due to a lack of knowledge about the culture of school-parent communication even after long years of being a resident in the country.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie wybranych wyników badań dotyczących doświadczeń i oczekiwań studentek łączących macierzyństwo i studia z zaakcentowaniem ich potrzeb. W badaniach posłużono się metodą studium przypadku, w obszarze której wykorzystano technikę badania dokumentów osobistych, a w jej ramach wypowiedzi na piśmie dotyczące pełnienia podwójnej roli studentki-matki. Pozyskany tą drogą materiał badawczy uzupełniono indywidualnymi rozmowami częściowo ustrukturyzowanymi przeprowadzonymi za pomocą komunikatorów internetowych opierając się na wcześniej przygotowanych dyspozycjach (pytania otwarte). Analizę zgromadzonego materiału prowadzono pod względem: (nie)doświadczanego przez studentki-matki wsparcia ze strony uczelni, w tym doświadczanych zachowań od uczestników życia akademickiego; oczekiwań wobec uczelni w zakresie rozwiązań wspierających łączenie i godzenie studiów i macierzyństwa. Badane studentki-matki doświadczyły zarówno pozytywnych, jak i negatywnych zachowań ze strony środowiska uczelnianego wobec ich studenckiego macierzyństwa. Wnioski płynące z analizy wskazują m.in., że mimo stwarzanych przez uczelnie ułatwień dla studiujących matek nadal brakuje wystarczających rozwiązań umożliwiających godzenie studiów z macierzyństwem, które starano się również wskazać w niniejszym opracowaniu
Tratamento térmico T6 modificado: uma proposta econômica para liga Al 7075
Authors: Dariva Mateus Giacomini , Zimmer Cinthia Gabriely
Published: June 2020

A liga de alumínio Al 7075 é uma das mais utilizadas nas indústrias bélica e aeronáutica, onde a combinação de alta resistência mecânica e baixo peso específico são requisitos fundamentais. Para atingir a resistência máxima, essas ligas devem ser tratadas termicamente pelo processo de solubilização e envelhecimento. O tratamento denominado T6, recomendado para essa liga segundo a literatura, consiste em solubilizar e após envelhecer a liga à 120°C pelo período de 24 horas. Em um ambiente industrial esse tempo acaba sendo um entrave no sistema produtivo. Sendo assim, o objetivo desse trabalho é a avaliação das propriedades microestrutural e de dureza da liga submetida ao tratamento T6 modificado, pela redução do tempo e aumento na temperatura do tratamento. Para tanto, amostras de Al 7075 provenientes do processo de laminação e forjaria foram solubilizadas na temperatura de 470°C pelo tempo de 2 horas e então resfriadas bruscamente em água. Após, essas amostras foram envelhecidas a 200°C pelo tempo de 4 horas. Os resultados mostraram que o envelhecimento sob temperatura elevada e tempo reduzido proporcionou precipitados finamente dispersos na matriz, de forma homogênea e com pouca ocorrência nos contornos de grão. Esse resultado vai ao encontro com os resultados considerados ideais para resistência máxima, contudo observou-se também a formação de precipitados do tipo ?, que evidenciam que o material começou entrar na fase de superenvelhecimento, o qual promove a redução das propriedades mecânicas. A dureza do material apresentou resultados compatíveis com a dureza obtida pelo tratamento convencional. Conclui-se que a proposta de modificação do tratamento T6 é uma alternativa mais rápida e econômica para o processo de envelhecimento, onde conseguiu-se a redução do tempo de processo, com possibilidade de aplicação onde a dureza é o único requisito necessário.

Authors: Furtado Jardel da Rocha , Pizzato Michelle Camara
Published: June 2020

O esporte no Brasil se constitui como uma das manifestações mais democráticas na atualidade. O fenômeno esportivo atinge variadas classes sociais, gêneros e etnias, transformando os espaços onde ocorrem essas práticas em locais que podem contribuir de forma significativa para formação integral dos jovens em idade escolar, transformando as escolas esportivas em possíveis espaços de educação não-formal, inclusive para formação de atletas profissionais. Dentro deste contexto, o futebol se apresenta como o esporte mais praticado pelos brasileiros, assumindo uma condição de cultura local do País. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo investigar as escolas de futebol como espaço de promoção à manutenção dos estudos na escola formal através das ações de seus professores. Essa abordagem se justifica pelo grande número de crianças e jovens que procuram esses espaços com objetivo de profissionalização e muitas vezes perdem o interesse ou abandonam a escola de educação básica em função da convicção do sucesso esportivo. A pesquisa apresenta abordagem qualitativa com a realização de quatro entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais de educação física que atuam como professores de futebol. Foi possível observar que as escolas de futebol contribuem de forma preventiva para que os alunos prossigam seus estudos concomitantemente aos treinamentos e que essas ações em conjunto com as famílias são fundamentais para que se atinja esse propósito. Verificou-se que as escolas de futebol possuem potencial para contribuir positivamente no processo de formação integral dos alunos, intervindo através do diálogo dos professores com os pais e alunos no sentido de identificar a importância da escolaridade no processo de formação dos alunos.

Buildings made of earth material is an attempt for sustainable development to overcome the threats of rapid pollution rate caused by huge application of cement in construction industry almost in all forms as building blocks, all kinds of structural elements and infrastructure. The main objective of this project is to identify the better stabilization material for stabilized earth blocks for partial replacement of cement in the manufacture of CSEB’s. The scope of work is to achieve a harmonious integrated performance of buildings with physical environment by using natural earth material for preparing building blocks. In this project fly ash and quarry dust has been compared to find out the most suited stabilization material for CSEB’s providing efficiency as well as sustainability as a substitute material for cement. In this project CSEB’s prepared using 70% laterite soil and 30% of cement has been compared with specimens in which cement is replaced with fly ash and quarry dust in ranges of 10% and 20% of its weight. The 28 days compressive strength results shows 12.5% increase in strength for 10% optimum replacement of cement using fly ash and about 7.5% increase in strength for 10% optimum replacement of cement using quarry dust. The reduced water absorption has been notified in CSEB’s using fly ash and quarry dust which will facilitate good bonding with fresh mortar by avoiding high rate of water absorption from fresh mortar by blocks finding its effective application in construction of load bearing walls for general buildings.

In this paper, the main idea is to have a transparent food supply chain by the use of blockchain technology. The architecture uses an authentication protocol which is similar to the protocol involved in the crypto currency technology. For this feature to be available in all the products a radio frequency identification (RFID)-based sensor was used. The architecture is built by having the cyber layer having the Blockchain and RFID sensor in the physical layer. The main idea of RFID is to provide real time monitoring of data by the use of a unique identifier. For a food supply chain to be transparent, every product has to have a proper link to the concerned origin and the status of the products. In order to achieve this blockchain provides a highly secured digital database for each of the food products. In order to prevent cyber-attacks different security analysis was being conducted at different architectural stages.

As the types of skills required on the labour market shift rapidly, individual employees will need to engage in life-long learning. This is not only to remain employable but to pursue satisfying and rewarding careers that enable them to optimize their job opportunities. Reskilling and upskilling programs would be crucial for businesses if they are to attract the talent they need and lead to socially responsible solutions to the future of jobs. This study has focused to understand the level of awareness the top five Indian IT companies have on Industry 4.0 and what are the practices that they follow to tackle the threat of digitization to their employees. This has been evaluated by studying the learning and development practices, the mission, vision, values of the organization from the homepage of their website and also their annual reports for the year 2018-19. This study would be useful to other organizations in the industry in getting an idea of what are the L&D practices the top five organizations has been doing. The chosen top companies can have a look at the current programs being practised by them and the improvements that can be brought up to upskill and reskill their employees. All organizations chosen for study has been carrying out upskilling or reskilling initiatives along with other learning and development programs. Three organizations have elements of learning inculcated in their core values whereas all five of them have no elements of learning or digitization mentioned in their mission and vision statement.

The study examines the effect of liquidity risk management on the financial performance of consumer goods companies. It was aimed at establishing the extent of concern of consumer goods companies in the management of their liquid cash, cash defensive intervals, long term debts, and quick ratios, for the purpose of turning around their financial performance. Data were obtained from the annual reports and accounts of studied companies and were converted to liquidity measurement parameters. Analyses were done using multiple regression analysis methods and findings show that long term debts, quick ratios, and cash defensive intervals have a significant effect on EPS and ROA, while cash ratio and long term debts affect ROCE only. Specifically, it was empirically established that there exists a significant relationship between liquidity risk management and the financial performance of consumer goods companies .Findings further reveal that companies’ non-concerned attitude to liquidity risk management affects the financial performance of consumer goods companies significantly. The study recommends that consumer goods companies should incorporate a clear liquidity risk management approach in their strategic policy framework and communicate the same to all functional units. Because of the strategic importance of consumer goods companies to the living standards of consumers, these companies should also establish and monitor risk warning dashboards to promptly arrest and manage risk variability and risk volatility in this very important sector of the economy.
