Calculation of large-span glulam structures as a soil base-foundation-above-ground structure system
Authors: Mykhailovskyi Denys , Sklіarova Tetіana
Published: September 2021

The object of research. Long-span glulam arches are widely used as coatings for public and sports buildings. The studies carried out concern double-hinged segmental arches with spans of 60 m and more.

Description of the problem. The study of the peculiarities of the work of arches as a system "soil base - foundation - above-ground structure" is associated with the significant influence of uneven deformations of supports on the stress-strain state of the above-ground structure. A change in the stress-strain state in the structure itself, associated with uneven deformations of the foundations, can lead to a significant decrease up to the complete exhaustion of the bearing capacity

Main scientific results. This article provides an analysis of the change in the stress-strain state of glulam arches when calculating the system "soil base-foundation-above-ground structure". It is noted that non-uniform deformations of supports have the greatest influence on the stress in the support zones of the structure. The range of critical non-uniform subsidence has been determined, which should be limited when calculating and designing the foundations of large-span arches. It has been confirmed that double-hinged glulam arches work well in conditions of uneven subsidence due to the peculiarities of the design scheme.

The results of the studies carried out and the recommendations provided will significantly improve the reliability of large-span structures and require mandatory inclusion in the current practice of calculation and design. In addition, additional requirements for the distance between mine workings for large-span structures should be introduced when performing engineering and geological surveys. This distance should be reduced for a clearer account of the deformability of the foundations for columnar foundations, and the number of workings should be increased.

The area of practical use of the research results. The cross-section of the glulam arches is selected taking into account additional deformations of the supports, making it possible to avoid unpredictable damage to the structure during operation.

Innovative technological product. Glulam arches, the cross-section of which is determined taking into account additional deformations from uneven subsidence of the supports

Scope of application. Glulam arches calculated in this way can be used as covering for public and sports buildings for various purposes.

Authors: Emmanuel Chinanuife , Kingsley Magboo , Momoh Zekeri
Published: September 2021

Over the years, expenditures of public and private sectors are regulated by the activities in the oil and gas industry. The budget of Nigeria is hinged on the international price of crude oil and any shock on oil price affects the general activities in the country. With quarterly data from the period of 1981Q1 to 2020Q2, the study uses an exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity approach to examine oil price volatility and inflation level in Nigeria. An augmented Dicky-Fuller unit root test and bound test cointegration approach were used to test for stationarity and existence of long run association among the variables respectively. The study found that negative shocks in real oil price affects the volatility of the inflation level. Also, it was observed that aside real oil price volatility, interest rate and real gross domestic product volatilities affect the volatility of the inflation level. The study therefore recommends among other things that policies meant for diversification of Nigerian economy in areas like industries and agriculture should be adopted to reduce high volatility of the inflation level.

Conization represents a major element in the diagnosis and especially the treatment of neoplasia detected by cytology. On the occasion of a retrospective series of 15 cases, we tried to situate the place of conization in the diagnostic and therapeutic arsenal of precancerous states of the uterine cervix. It improves the diagnostic yield provided by cytology and biopsy alone or directed by colposcopy, and is necessary for the diagnosis of microinvasion. In our series the FCU was concordant with conization in 82% of cases, and overestimated the lesion in 12% of cases. Biopsy allowed an accurate diagnosis in 67% of cases. It underestimated the lesions in 20% of cases and overestimated them in 12% of cases.

Salami and Sausage are ready to eat meat products that can pose a risk for human health. This study was aimed to determine the some microbiological, chemical and histological properties of 31 salami and 23 sausages from different companies offered for sale in markets, Turkey. The total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB), yeast and mould enumeration, lactic acid bacteria and psychrophilic bacteria count were evaluated. The water activity, pH, moisture content, and ash content were analysed. The mean TAMB value of salami and sausage samples were 2.30 log CFU/g and 2.80 log CFU/g, respectively (P>0.05). The water activity was found as 0.97 for both samples. The pH value of salami and sausage samples were 5.94 and 5.87, respectively (P>0.05). Moisture content was higher in salami samples (63.80%) than sausage samples (62.00%) (P>0.05). The average ash content in salami samples was 2.15%, while it was 2.80% in sausage samples (P>0.05). In conclusion, the microbiological and chemical analysis of sausage and salami products were within the range of Turkish standards. However, histological analysis revealed that some packed sausage and salami products sold in market are manufactured from lower-value trimmed food.

The question of what makes people happy still needs to be figured out. We used the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) to collect data from the participants. Our participants are Bangkok citizens and are required to use the LINE application, the most famous chatting application in Thailand, for connecting to our chatbot named AI-oon, developed for sending questionnaires to our participants. AI-oon would send surveys consisting of 2 questions: (1) What are you doing at that moment?, and (2) How will you rate your emotion?. We eventually analysed the data from 79 participants that contributed for 7 consecutive days. Then, we discovered that eating tends to be the activity that shows the highest level of happiness. On the contrary, doing housework and working/studying revealed the lowest level of happiness. Interestingly, we found out that Baby boomers and Generation X are significantly happier than Generation Y and Generation Z. We expect this research could provide some useful information for further studies in order to find the cause of the happiness level in each generation. Hopefully, it could be beneficial for governments and organizations to find appropriate measures and solutions to tackle their peoples stress and enhance their happiness levels.

Authors: Rose Sebastian Manju , Sankar Seena , George Mary
Published: September 2021

Introduction: India has the third highest burden of HIV in the world. Haematological complications are common in HIV patients, of which cytopenias are the most frequently encountered. The cytopenias have been found to adversely affect the outcome of HIV patients with greater mortality and decreased quality of life. Aims and Objective: To assess the prevalence of cytopenias among patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital and to assess the factors associated with the cytopenias. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of general medicine at a tertiary care hospital and 191 patients admitted in the hospital during the study period were taken for the study. The baseline investigations at the time of admission were taken into consideration. Patients were interviewed and charts reviewed to collect the data. The data collected was analysed with SPSS-2018. Continuous variables were expressed as mean +/- standard deviation and as median and interquartile ranges as appropriate. Categorical variables were expressed as percentages and frequencies. Comparisons between data was done by studentÃ‚Â’s t test and chi square. The factors associated with various cytopenias was assessed using log binomial regression. A p value of < 0.05 was taken as significant. Results: The overall prevalence of any cytopenia was found to be 85.9%. The most common cytopenia was anaemia with a prevalence of 78.5% followed by thrombocytopenia and leucopenia with prevalences of 28.8% and 24.1% respectively. Anaemia was found to be more prevalent among females with a prevalence ratio of 3.05 (95% CI: 1.39- 10.16, p value 0.009) when compared to males. The most common cause of anaemia was found to be B12 deficiency. There was significant association between leucopenia and CDC staging with the prevalence of leucopenia being higher among patient with CDC stage 3. [Prevalence ratio:1.46 (95% CI 0.67-3.17, p 0.024)]. No significant association was found with gender, duration of HIV, ART regimen, CDC stage or presence of opportunistic infections and thrombocytopenia. Conclusion: The prevalence of cytopenias among HIV patients was found to high Ã‚Â– 85.9% especially compared to other developed countries. The most common cytopenia among the patients was found to be anaemia with a prevalence of 78%. The next most common cytopenia was thrombocytopenia, followed by leucopenia. The factors associated with these cytopenias can help to screen for patients at higher risk of developing these cytopenias and hence establish preventive strategies against them.

While minimally susceptible to COVID-19, the pediatric population is most vulnerable to the psychosocial repercussions of this pandemic as they have faced setbacks and struggle to maintain normality in nearly every aspect of their lives. Duration of quarantine, fear of infection, limited social interaction, and more have had a significant positive correlation with poorer mental health, PTSD, anxiety, and anger. Young people have been burdened mentally and emotionally by the stressors of the COVID-19 pandemic. They have been thrown off their regular course and expected to quickly adapt to new parameters, restrictions, and limitations. The pandemic has undoubtedly had a significant impact on shaping their childhood trajectory as it has interrupted regular milestones and life checkoffs. In an aim to heal and ameliorate COVID-related anxiety, stress, and negative mental health consequences, utilization of appropriate coping strategies is encouraged and particularly important for disadvantaged groups who report multiple obstacles to pursuing treatment for mental health issues.

Environmental pollution is known as one of the biggest challenges for human development. Thats why the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have also focused on reducing environmental pollution. However, harmful chemicals and air, water and land pollution and contamination have been targeted to reduce the diseases and mortality rate by 2030. Especially in India, the road sweepers and scavengers have contributed a lot in reducing the pollution rate. They have performed a lot in cleaning up the dirt, not only from garbage to sanitizing the roads they contributed when the whole world, even India was fighting with the Covid-19 pandemic but it was very unfortunate that their caste identity has become a stigma on their head which becomes the matter of inclusion of caste in common congregation. They have been suffered the most for the centuries on the basis of the same. Even after doing so much service to the society, oppression with this community has not been reduced because of the constructed perception of the society that these people are considered inferior and polluted. Therefore, this paper tries to explore the real factors behind this social perception towards caste identity and examine the role of lower caste community in sustainable development by cleaning the city especially in Delhi during the pandemic Covid-19.

The aim of this study is to examine the opinions of physical education teachers from both Government and private elementary and high schools on their own in-service training programmes. 1000 pyhsical education teachers in Kulgam district of Jammu Kashmir were selected for this study. The questionnaire was developed which include two parts were applied to the participants. Descriptive statistics was used for the data analysis. Analysis was performed by SPSS software. Findings, obtained during research, are as follows: There is an insufficiency in terms of providing the willing participation to the in-service training programmes. Specific attention was directed to the translation of theoretical concepts into practical and applicable tools. There is a fundamental and principal insufficiency about the timing, conditions of the place and educational materials of the inservice training programmes. There are some problems about the trainers proficiency of teaching the subjects and adult education. There is a insufficiency related to evaluation of programme and success in in-service trainings in which physical education teachers participate. As a result there seems to be an insufficient level of in-service training activities for meeting the needs and expectations of physical education teachers. The in-service teacher training programme is a successful first step in improving the expertise of PE teachers to start and develop higher quality and more motivating assessment practices. Nevertheless, in order to generate durable change within daily PE practice, follow-up training sessions or counselling methods (e.g. through communities of practice) are essential to overcome implementation barriers. Development, adjustment and future directions for assessment are discussed.

The need for in-service training of physical education teachers cannot be underestimated. It is a necessity in enhancing work performance and motivation of teachers in their field. Absence of in-service training of physical education teachers will retard professional growth of teachers as well as missing gaps between demands and actual achievement levels. In-service training allows for such activities that may include seminars, workshops, conferences, classes, exhibitions etc that are designed to develop and improve employees in an organization from the initial employment stage to retirement. From the foregoing, it becomes imperative that every attention should be devoted to the in service training of physical education teachers to promote their professional growth and development. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to have an overview and problems of in-service training of physical education teachers in Kulgam, Jammu Kashmir. Finally, relevant suggestions were put forward to achieve a better staff development programme aimed at helping teachers to update their knowledge, expertise, skills and competence in the teaching profession.

Authors: Alsadek Zinab , Morgan Olga , Bustamante Virginia , Mishra M.D. Shikha
Published: September 2021

Superior vena cave (SVC) obstruction can be a substantial contributor to morbidity and mortality in cancer and non-cancer patients. It is currently known to be almost exclusively secondary to malignancy, most frequently lung cancer. A case of SVC syndrome presenting with worsening right-sided chest pain, shortness of breath, facial swelling, neck distension, and cough developing over a period of 12 days is reported. The approach to diagnosis included imaging studies and tissue diagnosis. CT scan of the chest revealed a large right pericardial mass, hilar infrahilar adenopathy, moderate increased right base posterior effusion, and compressive atelectasis. A mediastinal lymph node CT guided core biopsy subsequently revealed adult T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Due to rapid symptom progression, the patient was started on hyper-CVAD regimen and tumor lysis prophylaxis. The etiology, diagnosis, and treatment modalities of the SVC syndrome are discussed further in detail. Given the wide range of symptom severity, identifying and treating severe SVC syndrome promptly can be critical to patient outcomes.

The paper discusses rationality and decision making with a critical reflection on decisions by employees to quit jobs and set up fragile, micro, and rival businesses. This is a common phenomenon in management consulting businesses in especially emerging economies, where the demand for consultancy services is ballooning. The concepts of decision making and factors that influence decision making were discussed. Rationality and irrationality within the context of economics were briefly defined and theories such as (1) The utility theory , (2) The utility maximization theory and (3)The classical decision theory were used to explain the phenomenon. It was found that reasons for quitting or staying in a management consulting job is not only motivated by preparedness or readiness, rather a complex array of factors, some of which are observable and explainable while others may be attributable to complex cognitive processes that cannot be easily observed and explained. Deciding to leave a job is a complex but intentional rational decision that is influenced by many factors, some of which are observable, environmental, and cognitive.

Introduction: diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder prevalent worldwide . Oxidative stress has been the Cause of complications which arises gradually due to prolonged hyperglycemia. Vitamin c being a potent antioxidant is well consumed in diabetes mellitus. Methods: Serum samples of diabetes mellitus type 2 patients from jorhat medical college of Assam were tested to estimate ascorbate levels using spectrophotometer. Whole blood samples were tested to estimate glycated hemoglobin levels in d-10 biorad hplc machine. A total of 58 patients and equal numbers of age and sex matched apparently healthy controls were included. Results: significantly lower levels of ascorbate were recorded in diabetic cases compared to controls. Newly diagnosed cases had lesser serum ascorbate levels compared to patients who were on treatment with oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin. Conclusion: the study was done to look for any alteration in serum ascorbic acid levels in diabetes mellitus patients. Patients newly diagnosed had lesser vitamin c levels compared to patients already on medications. It is found that vitamin c is significantly lower in diabetic patients with or without medications compared to healthy controls.

In this paper, we report on the first data connected to the phenotype diversity of the Roma population from north/eastern Bosnia and its genetic relations with neighboring non-Roma populations. Genetic structure of the Roma and non-Roma population was analyzed considering on four the static-morphological and three the dynamic-morphological properties. A total of 847 samples have been collected from unrelated individuals in the area of the north/eastern Bosnia. The investigated parameters of genetic heterogeneity were estimated by: the recessive phenotypes frequency observed property, chi-squared test, exact-test, pairwise FST and genetic distance analysis. Estimation of genetic variability of the analyzed populations showed significant genetic differentiation between of the Roma and non-Roma population. The basic factors of the found significant genetic differentiation between the Roma and non-Roma population are a result of a high level of endogamy, the reproductive isolation of the Roma population and limited maternal gene flow with neighboring populations.
