Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering, Vietnam National University of Forestry, Hanoi, Vietna, Thanh Dang Van , Tinh Pham Van , Thinh Cao duc
Published: April 2022

The concrete structures will absorb temperature when it is exposed to fire or explosion incident. Depending on the period of time of the absorbtion process, its’ temperature could reach over a few hundreds to less than a thousand degrees Celsius, this abnormally high temperature could affect negatively on its. Assessing the bearing capacity of the concrete after the accident is necessary for the structure’s safety. This article investigated the compressive strength of two types of concrete (polypropylene fiber concrete and plain concrete – control concrete) that are burned in conditions at three temperature levels (500oC, 700oC, 900oC) and during three periods of burning time (60', 120', 180'). The research results showed that: the fire incidents affected seriously on the compressive strength of both types of concrete; the greatest decrease of the compressive strength is about 70%; the compressive strength of polypropylene fiber concrete decreases with a rate higher than that of ordinary concrete, but their values are not much different

Published: April 2022

In June 2017, in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, South Korea, green pea pods exhibited post-harvest rot symptoms. The fungus was isolated from infected pea pods and cultured on potato dextrose agar for identification. The morphological characteristics were examined, sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region and the β-tubulin (βtub) gene were analyzed, and the pathogenicity was confirmed according to Koch’s postulates. The morphology, phylogenetic analysis, and pathogenicity tests confirmed that Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was the causal agent. This study reports the first case of post-harvest green pea pod rot caused by S. sclerotiorum in Korea.
On a remarkable case of dynamical and physical interaction between middle and low latitude weather systems over Iran
Authors: RAMASWAMY C.
Published: April 2022

This paper contains the results of a detailed study of a wet spell over and near north Iran during the second half of July 1956, which contributed to the severe floods in that country during that month. The daily sea level, 850, 700, 500 and 300-mb level charts for Asia, Eastern Europe and the adjoining areas for the period of the wet spell, the mean 700 and 500-mb charts for the month of July 1956 as a whole and the mean sea level and 500-mb charts for the period of the wet spell only, along with the relevant thermodynamic diagrams have been studied. On the basis of this study, the broad conclusion is reached that the rainfall in Iran during the wet spell even over regions as far north as the Caspian Sea was fundamentally due to the extension of the Indian southwest monsoon into those regions during a month when the monsoon was abnormally active over the whole of India. This development was associated with an unusually pronounced Tibetan High shifting far to the west of its usual position. This abnormal situation resulted in the monsoon easterlies in the lower troposphere being drawn into Iran and the troughs in the middle and upper troposphere which were basically part of closed cyclonic systems in the higher middle latitudes, being blocked and thereby remaining quasi-stationary just to the west of the Caspian Sea. The wave patterns in the upper tropospheric middle latitude westerlies under these conditions caused high level divergence over Iran which provided the main dynamical mechanism for lifting the monsoon air over that country. In addition, on the two days of peak-activity during the wet spell, colder air from the middle latitudes seemed to have undercut the warm humid monsoon air on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea and provided a secondary physical mechanism for lifting the monsoon air on those days. Thus we had in July 1956 the remarkable spectacle of monsoon rainfall over and near North Iran caused by dynamical and physical interaction between middle and low latitude weather systems over that country.

Authors: RAO M. S. V. , SIKDAR D. N. , CHANDRASEKHARAN C. K.
Published: April 2022

Vertical wind shear in the lowest layers of the atmosphere over Tumba-an equatorial station -has been studied. Wind data from the surface up to 200 ft were collected at different altitudes (8, 31, 56, 134 and 200 ft) during the months December 1963 and January 1964, for the above study. Analysis reveals that appreciable wind shear exists very close to the surface, i,e in the layer up to 31 ft. On the other hand, in the layer 31-200 ft, the shear values are not considerable. It is further observed that the shear magnitude reaches maximum in the afternoon, The frequency of occurrence of shear magnitudes more than 10 kts/30 m (which, as  indicated by ICAO, is important for supersonic transport operation) is high in the lowest layer round about l430 IST during the winter months.

The conditions under which the magnification of an electromagnetic seismograph can be changed without altering its response characteristics are discussed. It is seen that. this can be done only If (I) the selsmograph lS made up of a se18mometer and galvanometer of equal free periods and (2) the dampings of the seismometer and the galvanometer are also suitably altered, When sensitivity adjustments are so made, the maximum magnification is seen to be attained when damping of the seismometer is equal to that of the galvanometer and this does not generally go  with the maximum value of 11, the attenuation factor.
Stratospheric and Mesospheric Winds in July-August over an equatorial station
Authors: RAO M. S.V. , CHANDRASEKHARAN C. K.
Published: April 2022

Three successful rocket firings were made from Thumba Equatorial Rocket Methods for Research Workers Launching Station during July-August 1964 and wind data obtained, for the first time over India, in the region 16 to 0' 3mb (~28.57 km). The winds are generally found to be east northeasterly with speed 60.90 km upto 1 mb (~ 47 km). Further above, this regime appears to terminate giving place to a complex wind pattern with considerable wind shears.

 

RAWIN observations of Trivanadrum and a few station in the same latitude belt on the days of firing were also collected. The combined results are examined in relation to (a) the extra biennial oscillation in the lower stratosphere and (b) the summer anticyclonic circumpolar vortex which is  marked in the higher stratosphere.

 

Apart from the actual wind data, considerable weight is attached  to the character of reflection on the radarscope as observed by the Electronics Group. This gives an indication of pronounced turbulence in summer in the equatorial stratosphere in the region 0.3 to 0.15 mb (~57-63 km).

Local temperature variation in Shillong area
Authors: MUKHERJEE A. K.
Published: April 2022

Parry's (1956) and Lysack's (1957) conclusion that substantial local variations, occur due to relief of the place has been tested for local temperature variations in Shillong area for the Winter season for the years 1960-62. The variation of minimum temperature is more pronounced than the maximum temperature. Parry concluded that the influence of relief win be observed when the range of altitude of observatories recording local variation of temperature is small. the present study indicates that this variation is observable even where the range of altitude is of the order of 2000 ft.

Authors: NARAYANAN S.
Published: April 2022

The utility of stability index for forecasting local thunderstorms has been stressed by various workers. An attempt has been made to see how far this method could be used for dust/thunderstorm forecasting at Jodhpur during the premonsoon months. The data for the months March-June during the years 1961 and 1962 have been utilised in the study. It is observed as a result of this study that stability index alone has not been found suitable for predicting convective phenomena for Jodhpur.
Atmospheric turbidity measurements over India
Authors: CHACKO O. , DESIKAN V.
Published: April 2022

From daily measurements of direct solar radiation for selected spectral regions and for the whole spectrum, coefficients of atmospheric turbidity and transmissivity have been calculated for different months for two representative stations in north and central India. Attenuation of direct solar radiation and atmospheric turbidity are maximum at both stations, during the hot, dry, dusty summer months and a minimum during the monsoon months and after, when the atmosphere has been cleansed of its dust content by precipitation. The turbidity over Delhi is two to five times that over Poona throughout the year, as a result of its proximity to the arid zones to the west. The variations from year to year are also much more pronounced at Delhi. The sudden fall in turbidity during June as well as the turbidity values during June to September at both stations are related to the times of onset of the monsoon in the two areas and the amount of rainfall during .these months.
Note on Ozone Observations made with Moonlight
Authors: RAMANATHAN K. R. , ANGREJI P. D. , SHAH G. M.
Published: April 2022

There is an apparent increase in ozone amount when measured with the Dobson spectro photometer using moonlight and C or D wavelength instead of A. The increase becomes insignificant when the differential AD or CD method is used. The apparent increase in ozone is found to be due to a rapid increase in large-particle scattering which occurs shortly after sunset and disappears within a couple of hours after sunrise.
Regression equations between mean wind power density and mean hourly wind speed during the monsoon season
Authors: MOOLEY DA , ARALIKATTI SS
Published: April 2022

Utilising the hourly wind speed data of some selected Indian stations with good wind regime during the monsoon season, mean dally and monthly wind power density and mean daily and monthly wind speeds have been obtained for each day and for each month. From these, correlation coefficients between mean daily power density and cube of mean daily wind speed and also between mean monthly power density and cube of mean monthly wind speed have been computed for the monsoon months. These correlations are found to be consistently very high (> 0.92) and stable. In view of this very close and stable relationship, regression equations have been obtained between the mean daily wind power density and the cube of mean daily wind speed, as well as between the mean monthly wind power density and the cube of mean monthly wind speed during the monsoon season. The constants in these equations are found to have a linear relationship with the mean wind speed. These equations were applied to independent data to estimate the mean wind power density for the monsoon season from the mean wind speed and the estimates for the different stations were generally found to be within 15 percent of the mean power for the season as computed from the hourly wind speed data for the independent period. The equations have the potential of application to mean wind, speed from the cup anemometer data which are available from a large number of stations in India, for estimation of mean wind power density during the monsoon season.

The monsoon experiment
Authors: DAS PK
Published: April 2022

The paper describes the observation programme of the Monsoon Experiment (MONEX) of 1979. This experiment was a sub-programme of the First GARP Global Experiment (FGGE) under the aegis of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

A number of countries contributed to the success of the experiment. Five research ships from the USSR and three research aircraft from the USA took part, while France contributed a ship and a constant level balloon programme. India contributed four ships and one aircraft. The observation programme over the country was intensified.

Of the space based platforms, a geostationary satellite launched by the USA-GOES Indian Ocean was specially moved to cover the MONEX region. Another geostationary satellite launched by Japan provided cloud imageries for the eastern sector of the MONEX region.

The paper describes some of the prominent features of the monsoon of 1979, which were observed by this experiment. Strong temperature gradients were recorded by the Indian aircraft, and the GOES cloud vectors provided valuable data on the onset of the monsoon.

Finally, the paper describes diagnostic studies with a simple primitive equation model. Those monsoon features, which the model was able to simulate, are described, and its extension to the study of other facets of the monsoon is discussed.
On accelerating the FFT of Cooley and Tukey
Authors: MISHRA SK
Published: April 2022

The efficient Fourier transform (EFT) and FFT algorithms are described and their computational efficiencies with respect to the direct method are discussed. An efficient procedure is proposed for the reordering of data set; the use of EFT algorithm for the initial Fourier transforms and restricting the size of final subsets to not less than 4 is also suggested for saving computation time in the FFT. It is found that on average the FFT with the proposed modifications is more than twice as fast as the original FFT. The amount of overhead operations involved in computer routine, based on the modified FFT is estimated.

Evaluating Bone Loss in Anterior Shoulder Instability
Authors: Makhni Eric C. , Tramer Joseph S. , Anderson Matthew J.J. , Levine William N.
Published: April 2022

Anterior shoulder instability is a common orthopaedic condition that often involves damage to the bony architecture of the glenohumeral joint in addition to the capsulolabral complex. Patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations are at increased risk for glenohumeral bone loss, as each instability event leads to the accumulation of additional glenoid and/or humeral head bone defects. Depending on the degree of bone loss, successful treatment may need to address bony lesions in addition to injured soft-tissue structures. As such, a thorough understanding of methods for evaluating bone loss preoperatively, in terms of location, size, and significance, is essential. Although numerous imaging modalities can be used, three-dimensional imaging has proven particularly useful and is now an integral component of preoperative planning.

Authors: Murtaza Sidrah , Akhtar Muhmmad Waseem , Hassan Danish , Ahmed Waqar , Riaz Muhmmad Usman
Published: April 2022

Knee osteoarthritis is becoming an increasingly evident cause of pain and functional disabilities throughout the world especially in women. It is a degenerative disease leading to changes in kinetic chain of lower limb. The role of manual therapy to treat this condition is under least discussion; especially the practice of Mulligan’s concept of manual therapy in improvement of this condition is almost negligible in Pakistan.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of two different mobilization techniques: - tibia-femoral manual traction and tibial rotation in patients with knee osteoarthritis for improving pain and functional abilities
Methodology: This quasi experimental study with duration of 3 months was conducted after approval from the concerned institutes of study. A sample size of 42 was calculated using G power software for experimental sample size estimation. Participants with grade II-III osteoarthritis, medial side knee osteoarthritis, at least one symptomatic knee, and stiffness in knee were included, whereas participants with recent knee injury, knee strain, congenital knee deformity and ay previous knee surgery were excluded from the study. The data was collected after taking informed consent from the participant. Participants of study were divided into two groups, 21 group A osteoarthritis patients received mobilization with tibio-femoral manual traction intervention, while 21 group B patients received mobilization with tibial rotation.Two outcome measurement tools were used. Data regarding pain was gathered through McGill pain questionnaire, whereas data related to functional abilities was collected using WOMAC osteoarthritis index
Results: Mean improvement in pain of Group A is 12.10 7.25 and Group B is 11.71 6.82 with P-value=0.862. Whereas improvement in functional abilities in group A is 10.62 7.97 and Group B is 35.68 10.68 with P-value= <0.001
Conclusion: Mobilization with tibio-femoral manual traction and tibial rotation were equally effective in improving pain. Whereas both techniques were effective in improving functional abilities but mobilization with tibial rotation is more effective as compared to mobilization with tibio-femoral manual traction

Ortho-surgical procedure involving mandible, maxilla, mento and associations: a systematic review
Authors: Velez Avendaño Gabriel Rodolfo , Benavides Benalcazar Bladimir Kleber , Sant’ana Eduardo , Moura Neto Gastão , Moura Renata Furquim
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Orthognathic surgery (OS) consists of the surgical procedure that aims to correct deformities of the bones of the maxilla and mandible. The records of the first surgeries for the correction of dentofacial deformities date from the mid-nineteenth century and were initially limited to mandibular surgeries. The malocclusion has as one of the primary etiological factors the facial growth pattern. Angle's statement already said that the only possibility of correcting true dentofacial deformities was the combination of orthodontics with surgery, and the importance of the combined effort of these two distinct areas in the approach to dentofacial disharmony in patients with problems was recognized skeletal. Objective: This study aimed to review the literature on OS involving mandible, maxilla, mento and associations. Methods: Clinical studies with qualitative and/or quantitative analysis were included, following the rules of the systematic review-PRISMA. Results: A total of 107 articles were found involving “orthognathic surgery". A total of 47 articles were evaluated in full, and 33 were included and discussed in this study. Individuals with class III dentofacial deformities are those that normally present greater aesthetic and functional impact, and for this reason, are the ones that more frequently seek treatment. However, some studies have shown a tendency for complications to occur in older patients submitted to orthognathic surgeries. Mandibular surgical procedures with maxillary segmentation and combining three types of osteotomies should be carefully planned and trained to reduce the occurrence of complications. The surgeon, orthodontist, and all staff involved should be focused on avoiding complications during all phases of treatment. Conclusion: It was concluded that there was an increase in the cases of OS in the last years, and with homogeneous samples between the masculine and feminine genres, and the advances in maxillary surgery corresponded to the greater number of surgical treatments.

Relaciones transatlánticas entre círculos republicanos radicales durante la era de las revoluciones: la centralidad de las mujeres
Authors: Andres Bonito
Published: April 2022

Los movimientos migratorios entre las dos orillas del Atlántico han sido de gran relevancia, tanto por su cantidad como por su heterogeneidad, desde el momento en que estos territorios entraron en contacto. El flujo constante de personas, así como de bienes e ideas en este ambiente oceánico, hizo que en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII los círculos republicanos ingleses y estadounidenses estrecharan sus lazos, con algunas mujeres como destacadas activistas. La escritora inglesa Catharine Macaulay (1731-1791), además de escribir sobre los hechos cruciales del momento, cruzó el océano con el deseo de estar cerca y vivirlos en primera persona. Por otra parte, por intereses comunes, mantuvo una intensa relación epistolar durante más de veinte años con la escritora estadounidense Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814). A pesar de las limitaciones que encontraron en áreas mayoritariamente masculinas, como la historia y la política, el aporte de estas mujeres no se limitó al apoyo esperado, sino que sus inquietudes quedaron reflejadas en algunos escritos importantes para la causa republicana. A pesar de ello y paradójicamente, estos movimientos revolucionarios no produjeron cambios significativos en la situación y los derechos de las mujeres.

This research is a qualitative research. The data obtained through the interview process. The results showed that the objective of education aims to provide values and norms to an individual that will guide his behavior. However, nowadays children and adolescents are facing a problem that is called spirituality crisis. We regularly see crimes committed by them, such as; robbery, gambling, brawls between schools, murder, drug addiction and others. This is due to inexistence of balance between religiousity values in the individual itself and with the future progress that moving forward continuously. The higher IQ that people have, the more they will experts in intellectual fields, likewise EQ. It has important role in building effective human relationships. Meanwhile, SQ serves to transform spiritual values such as honesty, compassion, justice, honesty, responsibility, peace, trust and togetherness. Keywords: Spiritual Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence

Published: April 2022

The aim of this paper is to generate an empirical estimation of the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure and Financial Performance by exploring the possibility of the existence of a non-linear relationship driving these two variables. Using a strongly balanced panel data with 2580 observations from 215 African listed firms over 12 years (2005-2016), the study investigated the short-run impact of CSRD through the Arellano-Bover /Blundell-Bond technique and the long-run effect via the Delta Method based on non-linear combinations of parameters estimated. The results indicate that in the short run, CSRD affects positively ROA while a negative significant relationship between the three-lagged measure of CSRD and ROA is also revealed. The results present the insignificance of the impact of CSRD on the other firm performances variables namely ROE, ROS. In the long run, CSRD is positively linked to all of the responses variables except ROE. Thus, the findings show that CSR practices do not generate benefit immediately. CSR effort positively affects firm financial performance in the following years after implementing it. Therefore, Managers should be aware that social practices should constitute an integrant part of overall firm strategy in order to achieve great profit.

The Impact of Training on Employee Retention
Authors: Elsafty Ashraf , Oraby Mahmoud
Published: April 2022

Human resource is an important asset in any organization. Therefore, organizations need not only attract experienced and talented employees to the organization, but they also need to keep them for a long time. This paper reviews the findings and the results of researchers to find and explore the relationship between employee training and employee retention. Training is an important factor to enhance organizational performance and is considered the main strategy to influence employee retention. However, there is not sufficient investment in training practices because some managers see training as an expensive risk. Based on Human Capital Theory and Herzberg’s theory, this research closely looked at the impact of training on employee retention, because the most important employee retention strategy is employee training. The study focuses on the impact of Training and development, job performance, job satisfaction, and effective communication on employee retention, a field study was performed using a questionnaire method to collect data from employees working in the private sector in Egypt. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0, and statistical significance was set at a = 0.05. and the results are that training and development, and job performance positively impact employee retention however job performance has no impact on employee retention, effective communications have no impact on the relationship between job performance and employee retention.
A Residual Thermodynamic Analysis of Turbulence – Part 2: Pipe Flow Computations and Further Development of Theory
Authors: GUSTAVSSON Mattias
Published: April 2022

Single-phase turbulent pipe flows are analysed utilizing a new theory presented in a parallel paper. Arguably this new theory implies improvements in matching modelling results with experimental observations: To illustrate, unique for these computations is that a 1st law balance agreement between simulations and corresponding experiments is achieved, while resolving the time-averaged fluid flow velocity (including the various inner turbulent zones) and accounting for the wall surface roughness. Testing this new approach, the computations of 20 cases of turbulent pipe flow arrives at a remarkably high amount of kinetic energy dissipation occurring at near-wall positions, where some 54-83% of the net kinetic energy dissipation occurs within the viscous sublayer-, and 17-39% within the buffer layer. Although turbulence incorporates time-varying phenomena, e.g. swirls, large eddies, and breakup of the latter, it is argued that simulating these would have practically no effect on the net kinetic energy dissipation – and the associated wall shear stress – for the present pipe flow cases. Another illustration of the improvements relate to transition computations: While a proposed nominal transition model arrives at fair values of transition Reynolds numbers, some improvements on this transition analysis can be made, e.g. allowing for the modelling of the turbulence onset/offset hysteresis behaviour. For scientists who wish to model time-varying phenomena, e.g. for the study of mixing, boundary layer thickness, or wall-pressure fluctuations, there should be possibilities to implement this new theory in computational flow solvers.
Oil Price Shocks and Bank Risk around the World
Authors: Jin Yi , Zhai Pengxiang , Zhu Zhaobo
Published: April 2022

This paper provides global evidence that oil price shocks have significant impacts on bank risk. Specifically, all three oil shocks, including oil supply shocks, aggregate demand shocks, and oil specific demand shocks, have positive impacts on bank risk. In particular, oil specific demand shocks have different impacts on bank risk in oil-importing versus oil-exporting countries and in normal times versus the financial crisis period. Moreover, we find that interest rate spread could significantly explain the impacts of oil shocks on bank risk for oil-exporting countries during normal times. Our main results remain valid in various robustness tests.This study provides important practical implications for policy makers, banks, and investors around the world.

Authors: Anvekar Priyanka , Lohana Petras , Mukhtadir Kalaiger Abdul , Rashid Ali Syed , Arti
Published: April 2022

Background: Catatonia is a psychomotor syndrome characterized by numerous clinical features, a few being stupors which is the most common sign, posturing, forced grasping, echopraxia, etc. There have been cases documented in the literature of Catatonia occurring with COVID-19. This article will focus on the complete and brief overview of catatonia observed in patients with COVID-19 infection. Methods: We outline the evidence of the pathophysiology of COVID-19 in the CNS system, the effect of the virus in inducing catatonia, and its outcome. The literature used in the article is mostly case reports from different parts of the world thus; we have generalized our review taking into consideration multiple factors. Results: In patients with COVID-19, neuropsychiatric manifestations are very commonly appreciated. Catatonia has been documented in many patients along with respiratory symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, and cough. There are multiple etiologies associated with this presentation which have been discussed in detail in this article. In many patients, there was no history of any psychiatric illness. The timing of presenting with catatonic features was also different for different individuals. Conclusion: COVID-19 has been believed to contribute to the presentation of catatonia. There is no specific timeline between the onset of symptoms and the presence of COVID-19 infection. However, coronavirus can be responsible in a few ways for inducing catatonia in patients with or without any previous psychiatric illness. Therefore, COVID-19 should be considered as one of the major factors in this complex psychiatric disease, catatonia

Published: April 2022

Background: Only a few published studies have directly demonstrated the effects of local soy isoflavone on the post-menopausal vaginal maturation index. This study focused on the effect of 24 weeks of local soy isoflavone (67,5 mg) consumption to improve the post-menopausal vaginal maturation index.

Material and Methods: 50 post-menopausal women were randomly assigned to a double-blind clinical trial to receive cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) powder treatment (n=25) and placebo (n=23). Vaginal cytology (maturation index, maturation value) was evaluated at pre and post-treatment in Anatomy Pathology Laboratories. Collected data were analyzed by using the analysis of covariant (ANOVA) method.

Result: There is no difference in maturation vaginal index between the treatment and the placebo group. The treatment was not significantly improved the vaginal maturation index (p<0,05). The concomitant variable, age, post-menopausal interval, BMI, marital status, and initial cell condition have no significant effect on the maturation vagina index.

Conclusion: Cowpea powder supplement with 67,5 mg isoflavone cannot improve the vaginal maturation index on post-menopausal patients.
De las comunidades a la acción social
Authors: Godàs Xavier
Published: April 2022

Este artículo argumenta que el empoderamiento comunitario es la base social desde la cual pueden incrementarse las oportunidades de prosperar de individuos y colectivos en condiciones de precariedad. Propone también que el objetivo de la acción social debe ser la producción de proyectos de inclusión mediante la organización comunitaria, especialmente en contextos en que esta es débil o incluso inexistente. El hilo argumental sigue tres pasos: primero, define el concepto de comunidad; segundo, defiende la relevancia de las dinámicas comunitarias en la intensificación de interacciones sociales y la producción de bienes comunes; y tercero, discurre sobre la actividad profesional centrada en estrategias de habilitación y promoción de capacidades personales y colectivas. Aunque el texto es de carácter teórico, su ámbito de referencia es Cataluña y, más concretamente, la región metropolitana de Barcelona, por lo que las experiencias referenciadas a modo ilustrativo remiten a ese contexto territorial.
