The Punakawans Make an Untimely Appearance
Authors: Joya Preciosa de
Published: August 2022

This paper begins with a Bakhtinian reflection on Javanese shadow puppet theatre (wayang kulit), and explores errancy through carnival laughter embodied and performed by the wise, grotesque figures of clown-servants (punakawan). I argue, however, that here the real subversive power lies not in a combative position that erupts in a social revolution but in offering an alternative way of thinking and being, a deviation from the philosophical (Platonic) obsession for truth and heroic/historic gestures that claim to overcome ignorance and hegemonic/normative structures. Responding to the critique of so-called feudal elements in ‘Javanism’, I explore how the Javanese mantra, ‘manunggaling kawula gusti’ (the union of servant and lord), incessantly rehearsed in the stories and life of the people, reveals neither blindness nor self-dissimulation.

Published: August 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’deki devlet üniversitelerinde görev yapmakta olan akademisyenlerin, görevde bulundukları üniversitelerin örgüt yapılarına yönelik algı düzeyleri ile örgütsel sosyalleşmelerine yönelik algı düzeyleri arasındaki olası ilişkilerin ortaya çıkarılmasıdır. Araştırma kapsamında ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Örneklemi, tabakalı örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 577 akademisyen oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verilerini toplamak üzere Erol ve Ordu’nun (2018) geliştirmiş olduğu “Örgütsel Yapı Ölçeği Üniversite Versiyonu” ile Taormina’nın (1994, 2004) geliştirip güncellediği ve Balcı, Baltacı, Fidan, Cereci ve Acar’ın (2012) Türkçeye uyarlamasını yapmış oldukları “Örgütsel Sosyalleşme Ölçeği”nden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda akademisyenlerin, örgüt yapısı özelliklerinden biri olan karmaşıklık boyutuna yönelik algı düzeyleri ile örgütsel sosyalleşmeye yönelik algı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin pozitif yönde ve orta düzey anlamlı; merkezileşme boyutu ve örgütsel sosyalleşmeye yönelik algı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin ise negatif yönde ve orta düzey anlamlı; formalleşme ve tabakalaşma boyutlarına yönelik algı düzeyleri ile örgütsel sosyalleşmeye yönelik algı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin ise pozitif yönde ve düşük düzey anlamlı olduğu saptanmıştır. Örgüt yapısının özelliklerini oluşturan karmaşıklık, merkezileşme, formalleşme ve tabakalaşma boyutlarının, örgütsel sosyalleşme düzeyinin anlamlı yordayıcıları oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları alanyazın kapsamında tartışılarak, gelecekte yapılabilecek bazı uygulama ve çalışmalara ilişkin öneriler sunulmuştur.

Abstract

Robot is a complex device consisting of mechanical motion components, electric circuits and a solid control system. The robot can receive commands from someone who controls it directly or with a predefined program. At this time the development of materials, electronic devices, and communication devices has growth. Therefore it is possible to make a robot to replace human roles that can be assigned to dangerous fields, such as forest fires, environmental pollution from toxic gases and so on.A robot with a movement system that can explore in various fields, has sensors to detect gas levels and a communication device that can receive and transmit data directly using the internet network. The remote control system is implemented to provide a solution for humans in controlling devices that can be controlled remotely. To guide the motion of the robot, a camera is used to take the image is expected to be more real and can monitor or see the situation around the robot.

Mathematical model for transmission of Chlamydia due to sexual activity and unhygienic environment
Authors: Shah Nita H. , Vaghela Jalpa N. , Pandya Purvi M. , Shah Yash N.
Published: August 2022

Aim: Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) need to be studied systematically to better understand their global spread. Transmission of Chlamydia trachomatis is a severe public health issue, with roughly 90 million new cases per year. Globally, Chlamydia trachomatis is the most frequent bacterial cause of STDs.
Methods: To better understand the dynamics and transmission of Chlamydia, the susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered-susceptible (SEIRS) model was constructed. Using a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, a basic reproduction number has been calculated at an equilibrium point, and the system is locally and globally asymptotically stable at both disease-free and endemic equilibrium points. Numerical simulations illustrate the behavior and flow of Chlamydia infections in different compartments.
Results: Conclude from the proposed study that 25% of individuals have been exposed to Chlamydia, of which 20% of individuals get infections due to sexual activity and 55% of individuals get recovered. 20% of individuals have been exposed to Chlamydia, of which 37% of individuals have been infected due to an unhygienic environment. Of those, 43% of individuals recovered. Also, it has been found that people are more likely to get infections because of an unhygienic environment than sexually active people. The recovery rate is also much better for people who have been infected because of an unhygienic environment.
Conclusions: Sexually transmitted infections can be reduced by up to 10%. While infection due to an unhygienic environment can be controlled up to a certain intensity. According to this research, public awareness campaigns and the improvement of personal hygiene will play a major role in reducing the spread of the epidemic in the future.
Visitation of African pineapple lily flowers (Eucomis autumnalis (Mill.) Chitt. and Eucomis comosa Houtt. ex. Wehrh.) by Japanese cockroaches
Authors: Yamazaki Kazuo
Published: August 2022

Pineapple lilies Eucomis autumnalis (Mill.) Chitt. and Eucomis comosa Houtt. ex. Wehrh. are endemic herbaceous plants in southern Africa but are planted as ornamental bulbous plants globally. The flowers are known to be primarily pollinated by pompilid wasps in their native range. In a Japanese botanical garden, Blattella nipponica Asahina, 1963 cockroaches visited the inflorescences of the two Eucomis species, fed on the floral nectar, and used the comae (i.e., leaf-like tufts on the top of inflorescences) as physical shelters and transported the pollen, thereby resulting in a fruit set. Ants, flies, and beetles were also observed to visit the flowers but did not touch the anthers or stigmas. These observations suggest that ground-dwelling cockroaches can act as pollinators of Eucomis flowers in an ex-situ setting.

Authors: Ribeiro Ivone Guterres , Froes Thalyta Machado
Published: August 2022

Objetivo: Analisar as propostas pedagógicas da Escola da Ponte, comparando com as propostas pedagógicas de uma Escola Montessoriana em São Luís do Maranhão. Métodos: Utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa e as pesquisas de campo, bibliográfica e exploratória. Os instrumentos de coletas de dados foram a observação participante e a entrevista semiestrutura para a escola inclusiva em São Luís/MA e a análise bibliográfica acerca da Escola da Ponte, da cidade do Porto, em Portugal, por meio de três dissertações oriundas do banco de dados da CAPES. Resultados: Os resultados das análises evidenciam através das observações que as crianças tanto na Escola da Ponte, quanto na Escola Inclusiva de São Luís/MA, aprendem baseadas no princípio da autoeducação, são autônomas, responsáveis, solidárias, e democraticamente comprometidas na construção do conhecimento como indivíduos críticos. Conclusão: Diante do exposto, evidencia-se que o processo ensino-aprendizagem na Escola da Ponte, em Lisboa tem uma visão inovadora e a proposta pedagógica contribui para o exercício da autonomia e da liberdade como facilitador da aprendizagem, bem como, a Escola Montessoriana em São Luís, pois a mesma utiliza práticas inclusivas, reconhecendo que todo ser humano é capaz de aprender, desde que seja estimulado com várias estratégias metodológicas de ensino. Entretanto, as diferenças na organização da escolaridade são evidentes e servem de reflexão para os desafios que ambas instituições devem ter em relação ao contexto em que vivem.
(RE) VISITANDO O PROCESSO SOCIAL E HISTÓRICO QUE PERMEARAM A HISTÓRIA DA CRIANÇA E DA INFÂNCIA
Authors: Oliveira Josélia de Jesus Araujo Braga de
Published: August 2022

Objetivo: Refletir sobre o contexto histórico acerca da história da criança e da infância ao longo dos séculos passados até ser concebida como como um sujeito histórico e detentor de direitos na atualidade. Métodos: Para construir este apanhado histórico, utilizou-se a pesquisa exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados a partir do levantamento bibliográfico de livros, artigos de revistas, pesquisas no site do bando de dados da CAPES para o levantamento de dissertações que discutem sobre o tema. Resultados: Os resultados evidenciam que este é um tema relevante, discutido pelos estudiosos que se debruçam a estudar com profundidade sobre a história da infância e sobre as crianças. Conclusão: Ao término do exposto, constatou-se que com as modificações sociais, econômicas, culturais e históricas que as sociedades perpassaram, gerou modificações muito positivas para as crianças de zero a cinco anos e onze meses de modo global. Assim, as crianças enfrentaram muitos obstáculos até alcançaram seu reconhecimento na sociedade atual e portanto, ter seus direitos e garantias preservados e respeitados é um padrão que não pode retroceder, muito embora seja necessário entender que a infância está ainda longe de ser uma etapa ideal para as crianças, sobretudo brasileiras, visto tantas desigualdades sociais que assolaram a sociedade durante todos os séculos passados, e permanecem fazendo parte do cotidiano da maioria das crianças brasileiras na atualidade.

DOES FINTECH CHANGE THE MARKET POWER OF TRADITIONAL BANKS IN CHINA?
Authors: Qi Hanying , Yang Keng , Wang Weijia
Published: August 2022

This study assesses the impact of the development of financial technology (FinTech) on the market power of traditional banks. We analyze the relationship between FinTech companies and traditional banks based on the barriers-to-entry theory, and verify the resulting hypothesis by using panel data from 155 Chinese commercial banks from 2013–2018. The benchmark results show that FinTech has a significant U-shaped effect on the market power of banks. Furthermore, the U-shaped effects remain robust when we focus on the technology and business innovation channels that affect banks. These effects vary across banks with different ownership structures and business segments. Specifically, municipal commercial banks are more likely to be influenced by business innovation than by technological innovation. By contrast, state-owned banks have advantages in using technological innovation to reacquire market power through loan services. Private banks, meanwhile, struggle to acquire any market power under intense competition from FinTech companies. Given that the FinTech may enable some banks overly dominate the banking industry at certain development stages, regulators and practitioners need to prevent monopoly-related problems and promote the digital transformation of small and medium-sized banks.
CODAS METHOD WITH PROBABILISTIC HESITANT FUZZY INFORMATION AND ITS APPLICATION TO ENVIRONMENTALLY & ECONOMICALLY BALANCED SUPPLIER SELECTION
Authors: Liao Ningna , Wei Guiwu , Xu Xinrui , Chen Xudong , Guo Yanfeng
Published: August 2022

With the rise of the concept of environmental protection and the attention of all sectors of society to the ecological environment, the selection of green suppliers is a hot topic. In this paper, we develop the combinative distance-based assessment (CODAS) method in the probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets (PHFSs) to cope with the multiple attributes group decision making (MAGDM). A standardized approach that integrates multiple methods is applied to normalize the original data. Moreover, the statistics variance (SV) method is applied under PHFSs to calculate the objective weighting vector of evaluation criteria. In the end, a case for supplier selection and the comparative analysis are used to confirm the feasibility and utility of this new approach.
Measuring Nurse Residency Program Outcomes: Selecting the Right Tool
Authors: Casey Kathy , Cosme Sheri
Published: August 2022

Nursing professional development practitioners are critical to nurse residency program (NRP) development, implementation, and evaluation. Conducting a program evaluation provides an opportunity to collect and analyze data on identified goals and outcome measures and determine if the program components need to modified or changed. Health care organizations need a systematic process for evaluating NRPs to ensure effectiveness of program delivery, provide evidence to demonstrate program value to the organization, report achievement of program outcomes, and for continuous quality improvement. With the growing importance of offering high-quality NRPs, nurses in professional development must critically consider the type of data required to demonstrate program value and use the best tools to collect outcome data. This article discusses a variety of data collection tools that can be selected to measure NRP outcomes.

Improving Practice Readiness Among Nurse Residents
Authors: Brown James D. , Hart Leigh , Wludyka Peter
Published: August 2022

Background

Recent evidence indicates a mere 8% of new graduate RNs are prepared to make entry-level clinical judgments. Residency programs, designed to overcome the academic–practice gap, lack universal guidelines for content, delivery, structure, and consistent assessment of practice readiness prior to independent practice.

Method

Virtual simulation to overcome practice gaps, with pre- and post-assessment of practice readiness prior to independent practice, was implemented in an existing nurse residency program.

Results

A 373% improvement in virtual clinical performance scores, as well as reductions in medication errors, sentinel events, and failures to rescue, was noted. These improvements readily translated to practice, as noted in a corresponding decrease in the rate of practice errors during actual clinical performance.

Conclusion

Transformed pedagogical technologies and learning methodologies are providing promising interventions to overcome the practice readiness deficit and set the stage for safer practice among new graduate RNs.

Advancing Antibiotic Stewardship Nursing Practice Through Standardized Education: A Pilot Study
Authors: Manning Mary Lou , Fitzpatrick Eleanor , Delengowski Anne M. , Hou Cindy M. , Vyas Nikunj , Pogorzelska-Maziarz Monika
Published: August 2022

Background

Antibiotic resistance is a leading global public health threat. Nurses are well positioned to optimize antibiotic use via targeted antibiotic stewardship (AS) nursing practices. However, standardized AS education for nurses is lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of an online AS for nurses continuing education program on nurses' antibiotic resistance, antibiotic, and AS knowledge and their intent to integrate AS into their clinical practice.

Method

A quasi-experiential pretest–posttest design was used with a convenience sample of nurses at a U.S. academic medical center. Focus groups were conducted with those completing the program.

Results

Forty-seven of 100 eligible nurses completed the program and the pre- and posttest surveys. Participation resulted in statistically significant increases (
p
< .05) in antibiotic resistance, antibiotic, and AS knowledge, confidence, and perceptions related to the role of nursing in AS. Focus group participants had multiple recommendations for ways to integrate AS in daily nursing practice.

Conclusion

Completing a comprehensive AS nursing continuing education program could prove instrumental to motivating nurses to adopt AS nursing practices.

Bifurcation of a discrete predator-prey model with increasing functional response and constant-yield prey harvesting
Authors: Dong Jiange , Li Xianyi
Published: August 2022

Using the forward Euler method, we derive a discrete predator-prey system of Gause type with constant-yield prey harvesting and a monotonically increasing functional response in this paper. First of all, a detailed study for the existence and local stability of fixed points of the system is obtained by invoking an important lemma. Mainly, by utilizing the center manifold theorem and the bifurcation theory some sufficient conditions are obtained for the saddle-node bifurcation and the flip bifurcation of this system to occur. Finally, with the use of Matlab software, numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the theoretical results obtained and reveal some new dynamics of the system-chaos occuring.
On solvability of BVP for a coupled Hadamard fractional systems involving fractional derivative impulses
Authors: Huang Hui , Zhao Kaihong , Liu Xiuduo
Published: August 2022

Hadamard fractional calculus is one of the most important fractional calculus theories. Compared with a single Hadamard fractional order equation, Hadamard fractional differential equations have a more complex structure and a wide range of applications. It is difficult and challenging to study the dynamic behavior of Hadamard fractional differential equations. This manuscript mainly deals with the boundary value problem (BVP) of a nonlinear coupled Hadamard fractional system involving fractional derivative impulses. By applying nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder, we find some new conditions for the existence of solutions to this nonlinear coupled Hadamard fractional system. Our findings reveal that the impulsive function and its impulsive point have a great influence on the existence of the solution. As an application, we discuss an interesting example to verify the correctness and validity of our results.
Stefan Zweig, promoteur d’Ephraim Moses Lilien, l’artiste Jugendstil de la renaissance culturelle juive
Authors: Le Rider Jacques
Published: August 2022

Stefan Zweig a noué des relations amicales avec Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874-1925) à l’époque de ses études universitaires à Berlin, durant le semestre d’été 1902. Il écrit l’année suivante un texte de préface au superbe livre d’art E. M. Lilien. Sein Werk (Berlin-Leipzig, Schuster & Loeffler, 1903). Lilien a dessiné pour Zweig un en-tête de papier à lettre et un ex-libris. La préface de Zweig insiste sur l’identité juive de l’artiste, originaire de Drohobytch (Galicie), puis retrace les étapes de sa carrière artistique, ses premiers succès comme dessinateur dans les revues Die Jugend, Simplizissimus, etc., et comme illustrateur du Juda de Börries von Münchhausen (1900). Il rappelle aussi l’engagement d’E. M. Lilien dans le mouvement sioniste, aux côtés de Theodor Herzl. Cette préface de Stefan Zweig est un des textes les plus importants de la période où il peut être rattaché au mouvement de la renaissance culturelle juive.
Die „Dichter ihres Lebens“: von Casanova bis Zweig
Authors: Lughofer Johann Georg
Published: August 2022

Im dritten und letzten Band der Reihe „Die Baumeister der Welt“, in Drei Dichter ihres Lebens (1928) beschäftigt sich Stefan Zweig weiter mit dem „schöpferischen Geisteswillen in seinen entscheidenden Typen“ und rückt dabei mit Casanova, Stendhal und Tolstoi Autoren in den Fokus, deren Schriften er autobiografisch auffasst. Die zentrale Fragestellung ist die nach der Möglichkeit, vor sich selbst „wahr“ sein zu können, also die Fragestellung der Autobiographik schlechthin. Seine Thesen dazu werden aus dem Band gefiltert und als Folie verwendet, um das von Zweig selbst oftmals als Autobiographie bezeichnete Werk Die Welt von Gestern (1942) zu lesen. Der Diskussion der Komplexität und Schwierigkeit der literarischen Selbstdarstellung sowie der Selbstpositionierung des Autors bezüglich seiner früheren Drei Dichter ihres Lebens wird dabei nachgegangen.
Montaigne
Authors: Lecorchey Virginie
Published: August 2022

Dans son essai sur Montaigne, Zweig semble chercher un moyen d’échapper à la tragédie de son temps. Son ouvrage s’articule autour de la notion de liberté : liberté de penser, liberté d’agir, mais surtout, importance des libertés individuelles. Entreprise égoïste ou auto-analyse ? Dans cet ouvrage, Zweig se fait le « psychologue de lui-même » et voit en Montaigne un nouveau modèle. Après Érasme, Montaigne devient pour Zweig un nouvel alter ego, voire un frère. Montaigne a su s’isoler pour privilégier sa propre personne, revendiquant ainsi l’individualisme. Zweig fait ainsi l’éloge du retrait du monde comme vecteur d’ascension spirituelle. Montaigne s’impose comme modèle. Un modèle en tant qu’artiste, un modèle en tant que libre-penseur. Un génie créateur et solitaire, qui semble incarner un but ultime pour Zweig, durant son propre exil, et qui devient un moyen de se préserver de la barbarie du monde. L’artiste est alors synonyme de héros et incarne un modèle d’humanité qui prône le respect des libertés.
Sur l’enseignement et la diffusion des instruments à réflexion à la fin du XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Fauque Danielle
Published: August 2022

L’historiographie accorde généralement au cercle de Borda une place de choix dans la marine française a contrario de la marine britannique plus fidèle à l’octant et au sextant. Qu’en est-il ? Une étude des manuels de navigation de la fin du XVIIIe siècle montre que le cercle est à peine cité, et que son utilisation est renvoyée à celle de l’octant. Ce dernier, inventé en 1732, ne se répand qu’une vingtaine d’années après. Puis la méthode des distances lunaires le met au premier plan à la fin des années 1760, particulièrement après le succès du voyage de La Flore avec Borda (1771-1772). Les Leçons de navigation de Vincent-François Dulague, ouvrage officiel, très souvent réédité, en développe l’usage dès 1768. Le très influent ouvrage de Pierre Lévêque, Le Guide du navigateur (1779) met à juste raison l’octant au cœur de la formation des marins. Dans les manuels qui suivirent, la présentation des instruments à réflexion se limite à celle de l’octant, et varie peu dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle, le sextant et le cercle étant considérés comme dérivant de l’octant. L’exposé voudrait présenter ici une analyse et une réflexion sur l’enseignement aux marins de l’usage en mer des instruments à réflexion à la fin du XVIIIe siècle.

Après la guerre avec la Prusse et les réparations financières exigées par l’ennemi qui conduisent à des difficultés économiques dans les années 1880, l’enseignement maritime connaît une crise de vocations, aggravée par les hésitations de la politique navale française, dénoncée par les historiens de la Marine, avec un État qui ne sait quoi faire de sa façade maritime. En 1886, le ministère de la Marine et des colonies choisit de fermer la plupart des « petites » écoles d’hydrographie d’Ancien Régime qui tombait encore sous le coup de l’Ordonnance royale de 1825. Mais les villes et les ports choisissent de créer des « écoles libres » de navigation ou d’hydrographie, financées localement, pour la formation de leurs capitaines au grand et petit cabotage. Ces écoles existeront jusqu’au passage des écoles d’hydrographie sous la responsabilité du ministère du Commerce au début du XXe siècle et leur transformation en « Écoles libres de navigation maritime », avant de devenir celles que nous connaissons sous le nom « d’École nationale de la marine marchande » et désormais école d’ingénieur (École nationale supérieure maritime). C’est cette histoire de la création des écoles libres de navigation pour les ports de l’estuaire de la Loire que nous avons choisi de reconstruire ici.
Les éphémérides nautiques et astronomiques de l’observatoire naval de Lisbonne et de l’observatoire astronomique de l’université de Coimbra, à la fin du XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Figueiredo Fernando B.
Published: August 2022

La mise en place d’une éducation scientifique à l’Université de Coimbra fut l’une des plus importantes caractéristiques de la réforme Pombal de l’université (1772). L’une des réalisations les plus marquantes fut la création de la faculté de mathématiques et de l’observatoire astronomique de Coimbra (OAUC) qui fut le premier observatoire astronomique situé dans une université, bien qu’à orientation nationale. Inauguré en 1799, la double mission octroyée à l’OAUC fut de développer simultanément enseignement et recherche. L’arrêté de création de l’OAUC établissait aussi sa principale attribution : calculer et publier ses propres éphémérides astronomiques, ces éphémérides ne devant pas être déduites ou copiées du Greenwich Nautical Almanac, ni d’aucun autre, mais tout au contraire déterminées directement à partir des tables astronomiques construites localement. Les premières éphémérides furent publiées par les presses universitaires de Coimbra en 1803. À la même époque, l’Académie royale des sciences de Lisbonne publiait déjà ses propres éphémérides depuis 1788. Ces deux projets étaient portés par le même savant, José Monteiro da Rocha (1734-1819), le premier directeur de l’OAUC (1795). Dans cette étude, nous décrivons et illustrons quelques-unes des plus importantes caractéristiques des deux publications, tout en retraçant brièvement l’histoire de l’astronomie au Portugal depuis l’ère des Grandes découvertes jusqu’à la création de l’OAUC et de l’Académie nautique, à la fin du XVIIIe siècle encore largement méconnue.
Les signaux horaires français : la quête d’un système uniformisé
Authors: Sauzereau Olivier
Published: August 2022

Au milieu du XIXe siècle, six observatoires chronométriques de la Marine français assurent un service de l’heure, pour le contrôle des montres de marine. Un arrêté ministériel de 1858 impose aux ports français de transmettre à heure fixe un signal horaire aux bâtiments dans les rades ou dans les ports. Si en Angleterre, un modèle de time-ball a été développé par l’Amiral Robert Wauchope dès 1829 et rapidement exporté aux États-Unis notamment, en France, les hésitations sont grandes. Les initiatives locales fleurissent : Paimboeuf, Saint-Nazaire, Bordeaux, Brest, Toulon ; aussi intéressants qu’ils soient, ces projets ne débouchent sur aucune réalisation concrète durable. Dans les années 1880-1890, une tentative d’unification de signaux horaires à la française sera menée par des ingénieurs du Dépôt de la Marine (Hanusse et Borel notamment) mais aucun des projets développés ne se révèlera une solution à long terme, et aucune unification ne sera réalisée sur le sol français avant l’emploi répandu de la diffusion de l’heure par la télégraphie sans fil au début du XXe siècle.
Du service de l’heure à l’océanographie : unité et diversité des observatoires navals en Europe (et ailleurs) au XIXe siècle. Première étude d’ensemble
Authors: Boistel Guy
Published: August 2022

Cette étude, la première du genre, se propose de dresser un premier panorama d’ensemble de l’installation et de l’évolution des observatoires de la Marine ou observatoires navals dédiés au service de l’heure et à la formation astronomique des marins, depuis 1750 jusqu’au recensement des observatoires effectué par l’astronome belge Paul Stroobant et publié en 1907, couvrant les observatoires du Monde entier et de tout type. Une étude statistique de la répartition, des publics et des orientations scientifiques de ces observatoires conduit à montrer que la distinction que proposait l’astronome américain Lewis Boss en 1911 entre un observatoire astronomique – qui ne s’occupe que d’astronomie (science des astres) – et d’un observatoire naval – qui ne s’occupe que du service de l’heure –, n’est absolument pas pertinente à son époque. Notre étude montre une grande variété des centres d’intérêts et des sujets d’études pratiqués dans ces observatoires, de la publication d’éphémérides nautiques, à l’océanographie naissante, via le service de l’heure et l’observation de petites planètes (astéroïdes), aussi bien dans les observatoires civils que dans les observatoires militaires.

Molybdenum di silicide (MoSi2) has lower mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) with Hastelloy X as compare to silicon carbide. So, MoSi2 coatings can be a potential candidate to protect Hastelloy X against high temperature sulfuric acid. Herein, MoSi2 thin films were deposited via electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD) method. Corrosion behavior of MoSi2 coated HX and bare HX was analyzed. Corrosion tests of bare Hastelloy X and coated samples was performed at different temperatures (60°C and 120°C) in 98% sulfuric acid using the weight-loss method. The morphology of pre and post corrosion test was also analyzed by using optical microscopy. Bare Hastelloy X showed a slight weight gain at 60°C and a weight loss at 120°C. The MoSi2 coated Hastelloy X showed slight weight gain at 60°C and a weight loss at 120 °C. The weight gain is the result of oxides formation whereas, weight loss may be attributed to corrosion due to H+ ions. These findings were also accompanied by optical microscopy as corroded and very rough patches were evident for bare HX, whereas, for MoSi2 coated samples, the coating was still intact.
A Quantitative HAZOP Risk Analysis Under Extended CREAM Approach for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) Operation

Published: August 2022

Abstract Globally, there has been a substantial growth in interest in autonomous surface ships. This new domain presents numerous concerns for enhanced reader comprehension. The most crucial topic to consider is the safety of autonomous ships and the risks they present. To
enable the use of autonomous ships, they must be as safe for the environment and for people as manned surface ships. However, as it has not yet been widely implemented, acquiring real-time data restricts the scope of the study. The objective of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive quantitative
risk analysis for maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS). Therefore, it focuses on the operations to be performed by MASS and the factors that may pose a risk. In this context, Hazard and Operability Analysis (HAZOP) and Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (CREAM) approaches
will be used in risk analysis assessment. While the HAZOP method will be used to determine the deviations, causes, possible consequences, and measurements that autonomous surface ships will be exposed to, the extended CREAM will be used to determine the likelihood of occurrence and risk levels
of the MASS operation. The outcomes of the paper are anticipated to enhance the safety operational safety level of autonomous ships as well as mitigate risks.
Assessment of the Technological Maturity of Marine Autonomous Surface Ships
Authors: Vedachalam Narayanaswamy
Published: August 2022

Abstract Marine Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are gaining increasing attention due to the potential benefits of improving safety and efficiency. The paper presents the trends in the development of autonomous ships and reliability modeling carried out to assess the maturity
of Guidance, Navigation, Control, Power and Propulsion (GNCPP) subsystems that are critical for safe and reliable operation of MASS. Based on the simulations with field-failure data as inputs, it is identified that a typical vessel GNCPP system can have a mean time to fail period of 1.2 years.
The emergency shore support systems shall require a proof test interval of 22 days to comply with IEC61508 HSE Safety Integrity Level 3 of on-demand availability. The results could help in efficient maintenance planning and integrity management of the autonomous ship systems. The efforts required
to realize situation-aware autonomous navigation technologies complying with stringent operational regulatory frameworks are also discussed.
Caveolae-dependent endocytosis mediates the cellular uptake of CdTe quantum dots in ovarian cancer cell lines

Published: August 2022

Background and purpose:

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals that are widely used in biology due to their good optical properties. QDs, especially cadmium-based QDs, play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer due to their intrinsic fluorescence. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of the cellular uptake mechanisms of CdTe QDs in ovarian cancer cell lines.

Experimental approach:

In this study, we used CdTe QDs coated with thioglycolic acid. The ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3 and OVCAR3 were treated with different concentrations of QDs, triamterene, chlorpromazine, and nystatin, and cell viability was evaluated through the MTT test. To find the way of cellular uptake of CdTe QDs, we used the MTT test and interfering compounds in endocytic pathways. Intrinsic fluorescence and cellular internalization of CdTe QDs were assessed using flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy imaging.

Findings / Results:

The viability of CdTe QDs-treated cells dose-dependently decreased in comparison to untreated cells. To evaluate the cellular uptake pathways of CdTe QDs, in most cases, a significant difference was observed when the cells were pretreated with nystatin. The results of flow cytometry showed the cellular uptake of CdTe QDs was dose- and time-dependent.

Conclusion and implications:

Nystatin had a measurable effect on the cellular uptake of CdTe QDs. This finding suggests that caveola-mediated endocytosis has a large portion on the internalization of CdTe QDs. According to the results of this study, CdTe QDs may have potential applications in cancer research and diagnosis.

Published: August 2022

Patient History A 67-year-old male presented with symptoms of mania eight days after switching from sertraline to bupropion. His past medical history included benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, insomnia, and a recent diagnosis of depression. He denied previous
history of depression but reported taking sertraline for premature ejaculation, an off-label use. His baseline aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was 20 U/L and alanine transaminase (ALT) was 22 U/L. Bupropion was held on admission and olanzapine 5 mg nightly was initiated to treat mania. Following
six days of olanzapine treatment, his liver function tests (LFTs) were elevated (AST = 83 U/L, ALT = 105 U/L) and peaked two days later at AST being 2,024 U/L and ALT being 1,508 U/L. Other causes of LFT elevation were ruled out since no other new medications were started and the patient denied
use of acetaminophen. Olanzapine was subsequently discontinued and his LFTs began to improve. His symptoms of mania resolved, and he was discharged on no psychotropic medications. Review of Literature A literature search identified 6 cases of bupropion-induced mania/hypomania
and 10 cases of olanzapine-induced increased LFTs. This case will add to the limited reports regarding these adverse effects. Conclusion Possible adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were observed between the initiation of bupropion and the development of manic symptoms as well
as the initiation of olanzapine and elevated LFTs. The case report also focuses on the role of pharmacy in a patient with multiple ADRs from psychotropic medications and the importance of gaining collateral information and clarifying indications of prescribed medications.
