Abstract: The more advance establishment of the country leads to the more developed economic progress. The economic activities require better supporting facilities and infrastructure. Market is one of infrastructure that can support economic activities. In addition, it requires a market location, it also requires a road to distribute the commodities in or out of the city. Roadway and sidewalk are supporting infrastructures that improve the economy in a country. One of market in Pekalongan city, Banjarsari Marketâ€™s was in fire. Then Banjarsari market was relocated in Patiunus Street. This research was conducted in Patiunus street, the sidewalk that was used for Banjarsari market relocation. The market relocation in the roadway and sidewalks can affect road functions and road usersâ€™ activities. Especially in the balancing interaction factor between the pedestrians and the vehicles, the safety factor of adequate space for pedestrians, the facilities offered a pleasurable experience on the sidewalk, the availability of public facilities unites, becomes supporting elements of the sidewalk. This research used the qualitative method and used three data collection techniques: direct observation, questionnaire, and documentation. The conclusion of this study is the existence of the Banjarsari market relocation on Jalan Patiunus affected the function of roads and sidewalks. By analyzing the result of the field survey and questionnaire to the road user and sidewalk users from Patiunus street, it can be concluded that the four standards for sidewalk (the balancing interaction between the pedestrians and the vehicles, safety factor, the facilities offered a pleasurable experience on the sidewalk and the availability of public facilities unites and becomes supporting elements of the sidewalk). Therefore, Patiunus street can have good functions for road user and sidewalk users.

Published: July 2021

Abstract. The Sampean Baru watershed is categorized as an area with a very high level of vulnerability to drought. The purpose of this study was to assess the hydrological drought in the Sampean Baru watershed. NCEP / NCAR Reanalysis climate change data is used to obtain synthetic rainfall models of the past. This climate change data has crude resolution and is global in scale. The NCEP / NCAR Reanalysis data was processed through a downscaling process to obtain local scale climate data in the form of past synthetic rains. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is one of the downscaling models used in this study. The ANN downscaling output was processed through discharge modeling using SWAT. Hydrological drought assessment used the Standardized Precipitation Index (SRI) method. The SRI calculation was based on the accumulated discharge over a period of time. The results indicated that the ANN downscaling process can bridge global scale climate data to local scale climate data. SWAT modeling gave excellent results. SRI-6 can describe past droughts. It can be seen from the compatibility between the results of the drought assessment and the drought data belonging to the relevant authorities.

Authors: Nurhakim Yanuar Ali , Utomo Karuniadi Satrijo
Published: July 2021

Abstract Fire is a disaster that must be avoided in various ways, one of them is by using a fire extinguishing system to prevent fire disaster. This study used the Semarang City Health Office (DKK) Building as a sample. The purposes of this research were; (1) to find out whether the application of the fire protection system at DKK Building has met the regulations and (2) to determine whether the water distribution in the fire protection system in the Semarang DKK Building is functioning properly as needed. Data collection methods in this study consisted of observation and literature study. The observation was used to find research data in the form of planning drawings on the building protection system and the literature study was carried out to obtain data in the form of standard tool specifications and rules for using tools in the protection system. This study also used an analysis method based on an application program called Epanet 2.0. The Epanet program was used to simulate a hydraulic model according to the fire protection system at DKK Building. The results of the analysis using the Epanet 2.0 show that the sprinkler system has met the needs based on the amount of water supply discharge and based on the required pressure. The underground tank volume of 150 m3 has met the requirements based on SNI 03-3989-2000. The pressure value for all sprinklers has met the requirements of SNI 03-3989-2000 with the smallest pressure value is 2.5 kgf / cm2. The sprinkler system does not meet the water distribution value set in NFPA 13 with a maximum distribution time of 50 seconds while the analysis results show that the distribution time is 205 seconds. The pressure value at all points of the fire hydrant system meets the SNI 03-1745-2000 rules with a maximum value not exceeding 24.1 bars. The pressure value at the farthest hydrant box hose connection does not meet the SNI 03-1745-2000 rules with the pressure value at the farthest hydrant box is 4.6 bars, where is the minimum pressure is 6.9 bars.

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), also known as somatomedin C, is essential for the regulation of animal growth and development. In many species, the IGF1 gene can be alternatively spliced into multiple transcripts, encoding different pre-pro-IGF1 proteins. However, the exact alternative splicing patterns of IGF1 and the sequence information of different splice variants in sheep are still unclear. In this study, four splice variants (class 1-Ea, class 1-Eb, class 2-Ea, and class 2-Eb) were obtained, but no IGF1 Ec, similar to that found in other species, was discovered. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the four splice variants shared the same mature peptide (70 amino acids) and possessed distinct signal peptides and E peptides. Tissue expression analysis indicated that the four splice variants were broadly expressed in all tested tissues and were most abundantly expressed in the liver. In most tissues and stages, the expression of class 1-Ea was highest, and the expression of other splice variants was low. Overall, levels of the four IGF1 splice variants at the fetal and lamb stages were higher than those at the adult stage. Overexpression of the four splice variants significantly increased fibroblast proliferation and inhibited apoptosis (P < 0.05). In contrast, silencing IGF1 Ea or IGF1 Eb with siRNA significantly inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis (P < 0.05). Among the four splice variants, class 1-Ea had a more evident effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis. In summary, the four ovine IGF1 splice variants have different structures and expression patterns and might have different biological functions.
Role of the GH-IGF1 axis on the hypothalamus–pituitary–testicular axis function: lessons from Laron syndrome
Authors: Cannarella Rossella , Crafa Andrea , La Vignera Sandro , Condorelli Rosita A , Calogero Aldo E
Published: July 2021

Background

Animal studies suggest that insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) may influence the function of the hypothalamus–pituitary–testicular axis, especially in childhood, but the evidence in humans is scanty. Laron syndrome, a human model of IGF1 deficiency, may help to solve this issue.

Purpose

This systematic review aims to analyze puberty onset and progression, testicular volume, gonadotropin, and total testosterone serum levels, sperm parameters and fertility, and penile length in patients with Laron syndrome.

Methods

Specific keywords were used. All data on male patients with Laron syndrome were included.

Results

Seventeen articles matched the inclusion criteria and were entered in the analysis, for a total of 125 male patients. Puberty was absent in 8.9% and delayed in 35.6% of untreated patients of pubertal age. After onset, the duration of the pubertal process was prolonged in 76.9% of untreated patients. The growth spurt was absent in 52.6% and delayed in 31.6% of untreated patients. The testicular volume was small in the two patients who did not receive any treatment. Treatment with IGF1 increased gonadotropin and testosterone serum levels in five out of five patients of pubertal age. No effect was found in four out of four patients younger than 5 years. No study reported data on sperm parameters and fertility. Micropenis occurred in 67.2% of patients.

Conclusion and future perspectives

Delayed puberty is common in patients with Laron syndrome. The growth hormone–IGF1 axis may influence the time of puberty onset. Serum levels of IGF1 should be investigated in children with delayed puberty, scarce progression of testicular growth, and/or micropenis. IGF1 levels might be measured in children with delayed puberty, poor testicular growth, and/or micropenis.
Acute Kidney Injury: Lessons from Pericardiectomy
Authors: Huang Jing-bin , Wen Zhao-ke , Lu Chang-chao , Lu Wei-jun , Tang Xian-ming , Li Xiang-wei , Deng Xin
Published: July 2021

Background: Acute kidney (renal) injury (AKI) is a severe and common complication that occurs in ~40% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. AKI has been associated with increased mortality and worse prognosis. This prospective study was conducted to determine the risk factors for AKI after pericardiectomy and decrease the operative risk of mortality and morbidity.
Methods: This was a prospective, observational cohort study of patients with constrictive pericarditis undergoing pericardiectomy. All patients underwent pericardiectomy via median sternotomy. Serum creatinine was used as the diagnostic standard of AKI according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes classification. All survivors were monitored to the end date of the study.
Results: Consecutive patients (N = 92) undergoing pericardiectomy were divided into 2 groups: with AKI (n = 25) and without AKI (n = 67). The incidence of postoperative AKI was 27.2% (25/92). Hemodialysis was required for 10 patients (40%), and there were 5 operative deaths. Mortality, intubation time, time in intensive care unit, fresh-frozen plasma, and packed red cells of the group with AKI were significantly higher than those of the group without AKI. Both univariate and multivariate analyses showed that statistically significant independent predictors of AKI include intubation time, chest drainage, fresh-frozen plasma, and packed red cells. The latest follow-up data showed that 85 survivors were New York Heart Association class I (97.7%) and 2 were class II (2.3%).
Conclusions: AKI after pericardiectomy is a serious complication and contributes to significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Prevention of AKI development after cardiac surgery and optimization of pre-, peri-, and postoperative factors that can reduce AKI, therefore, contribute to a better postoperative outcome and leads to lower rates of AKI, morbidity, and mortality.
Постмодерністський вимір романів Філіпа Рота
Authors: Лісевич Вероніка
Published: July 2021

Статтю присвячено дослідженню особливостей втілення постмодерністської парадигми в романах Філіпа Рота. Метою статті є з'ясування співвідношення основних параметрів постмодерністської концепції з жанрово-стильовою і поетико-наративною специфікою творчості Ф. Рота. Дослідницька методика базується на використанні історико-літературного, структурно-функціонального, наратологічного методів та принципів інтертекстуального аналізу. У результаті дослідження виявлено, що ознаки постмодернізму простежуються у більшості творів Ф. Рота, однак попри численні експерименти з реальністю і наративом, кращі романи письменника (як-от e. g. «Людське тавро») засвідчують еволюцію до «воскресіння суб’єкта«, відновлення повноцінного людського характеру замість концептуалізації розщепленого «Я» і дегуманізованої особистості. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає у виявленні трансформації концепту «епістемологічна невизначеність» та його складників у творчості Філіпа Рота: відчуття невиправності існування, неможливості осягнення глибинних меж людської сутності залишається актуальним, але набуває ознак екзистенціального запитування. Матеріал статті може бути використаний науковцями в процесі подальшого вивчення еволюції постмодернізму в новітній літературі, а також у процесі виконання кваліфікаційних робіт у закладах вищої освіти.

From a Communist Heritage to an Unwanted Past: The Case of Romania
Authors: Parra Ricardo , Ferraz Jorge
Published: July 2021

Communist ideologies and political regimes have had their specific models of tourism. These models reflect on the way former communist countries view tourism today. Despite the long communist period, Romania refuses to accept Communism as an integral part of its historical culture and society, being perceived as a dark period of its history. Several campaigns which were broadcasted as a way to show the cultural and natural beauty of the country, promote rural tourism and the ancient Romanian History, eluding themes and subjects related with that recent past. Even though there has been a growing touristic interest in Romania’s communist heritage, the country’s strategies express the difficulty in accepting Communism as part of the Romanian cultural identity and history. Thus, what communication strategies does Romania use to promote its culture, in order to avoid its communist heritage? What are the reasons behind the country’s vehement silence about its past? This article aims to discuss how and why the country and its population promote specific tourist products as a way to avoid their communist legacy.
Repensando a Paulo Freire como pedagogo-educador social: elogio de un quehacer cívico, educativo y cultural (trans)formador
Authors: Caride Gómez José Antonio
Published: July 2021

Paulo Freire ilumina la pedagogía desde los años cuarenta del pasado siglo. Fue entonces cuando inició su trabajo educativo y social con los pobres que no sabían leer ni escribir, tomando conciencia de las graves carencias formativas de la población adulta. Testigo del tiempo histórico que le tocó vivir en Brasil, América Latina y el mundo, reconociéndose a sí mismo como «substancialmente político y adjetivamente pedagogo», su legado continúa proyectándose en nuevas oportunidades para leer la educación y la vida con una visión sociopolítica, liberadora y transformadora. Sus pedagogías —del oprimido, la indignación, la autonomía o la esperanza— llegaron para quedarse, abriendo las fronteras de la humanidad a nuevos horizontes para la educación (todas las educaciones), las culturas y las comunidades. Las enseñanzas y los aprendizajes que procuran en, con y para la libertad… tienen la obligación de repensarse críticamente en sus conceptos, teorías y prácticas. Debe hacerse poniendo más énfasis en la Pedagogía Social, sobre la que nunca escribió, y en la Educación Social —a la que apenas nombró— en un momento decisivo para su desarrollo científico, académico y profesional. Lo haremos elogiando el quehacer cívico-político, pedagógico y cultural de Freire, respetando el deseo que expresó al crearse el Instituto que lleva su nombre en São Paulo: «No quiero que me repitan, quiero que me reinventen». Este es nuestro principal objetivo cuando todo indica que sus propuestas, en las palabras y los hechos, abrazan respuestas con las que mejorar el mundo enfermo que habitamos.

Authors: Nikmatin Siti , Hermawan Bambang , Irmansyah  , Indro Mohammad Nur , Sukardan Mochammad Danny , Umam Rofiqul
Published: July 2021

The ballistic impact behavior of oil empty fruit bunch fiber reinforced bio-composites was studied. Epoxy and polyester resins were used as the main material and were evaluated as a matrix to determine their capability. The ballistic test was performed using a 9 mm handgun and a jacketed hollow point round. A model based on kinematics and dynamics was used to calculate the decrease in velocity of the projectile with a constant deceleration. The energy lost during the impact was calculated based on the theory of kinetic energy. The epoxy bio-composite was able to hold a projectile more successfully than the polyester bio-composite at a certain penetration depth. The curve of the decrease in velocity for both of the resins was exponentially distributed. An 18% epoxy bio-composite was able to more successfully stop the projectile at a penetrative depth of 2.14 mm and was able to absorb all the kinetic energy generated (408 J).
Thermogravimetric analysis-based characterization of suitable biomass for alkaline peroxide treatment to obtain cellulose and fermentable sugars
Authors: Hideno Akihiro
Published: July 2021

To characterize a suitable biomass for alkaline peroxide treatment, four types of lignocellulosic biomass (rice straw, two Miscanthus spp., and Japanese cypress) were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis. Before the alkaline peroxide treatment, rice straw had the lowest initial thermal degradation temperature and Japanese cypress had the highest. After alkaline peroxide treatment, this trend was reversed, such that the highest initial thermal degradation temperature was for alkaline-peroxide treated rice straw. Hemicellulose and lignin content significantly affected the thermal degradation behavior and alkaline peroxide treatment efficiency. Among the four lignocelluloses, raw rice straw exhibited the highest reducing capability, whereas the treated rice straw exhibited the lowest reducing capability. Surface morphology and crystallinity indicated that when the rice straw was subjected to AP treatment at room temperature for 10 min, crystalline cellulose microfibrils were exposed and concentrated on the surface. Thus, among the samples tested, rice straw was found to be the most suitable biomass for alkaline peroxide treatment.

We investigated the peripheral demyelination in transgenic mice with peripheral neuropathy and the effect of adiposederived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) transplantation on the ultrastructural features of the sciatic nerve in these mice. The B6.Cg-Tg(PMP22)C3Fbas/J transgenic mice with peripheral neuropathy were injected intramuscularly with ADSCs, which were isolated from the adipose tissue of FVB-Cg-Tg(GFPU) mice transgenic by GFP. For ultrastructural analysis, tissue fixation in animals was performed by transcardiac perfusion-fixation with 4% formaldehyde solution and 2.5% glutaraldehyde solution 16 weeks after transplantation. Electron microscopic examination of fibers of the sciatic nerve in the transgenic mice with peripheral neuropathy showed that many axons in this nerve were subjected to dys- and demyelination; the so-called onion bulb-like structures were observed. In some fibers, hypertrophy of myelin sheaths was found. In general, ultrastructural modifications in the sciatic nerve of the transgenic mice were rather similar to the pathomorphological pattern observed in patients with peripheral neuropathy. At 16 weeks after ADSC transplantation, in the sciatic nerve in mice with peripheral neuropathy thickening of the myelin sheath and increasing of the number of lamellae were observed. Thus, ADSC transplantation in mice with hereditary peripheral neuropathy has a protective effect on the ultrastructural features of the sciatic nerve and inhibits the process of axon demyelination.
Nacionalidad, masculinidad y política en relación con la natación. La prensa argentina y el primer cruce a nado del canal de la Mancha en 1923
Authors: Scharagrodsky Pablo
Published: July 2021

en el artículo se indagan los significados producidos por la prensa a partir del primer cruce a nado del canal de la Mancha —desde Francia a Inglaterra— realizado por el ítalo-argentino Enrique Tiraboschi en 1923. Al analizar una variedad de fuentes, especialmente la prensa general y deportiva, así como los aportes de la historia social y cultural de los deportes y los estudios de género, el artículo focaliza la atención en los sentidos dominantes que se transmitieron y construyeron sobre la nacionalidad, la identidad ítalo-argentina y la masculinidad. Se problematiza el promocionado cruce a nado del canal anglo-francés como una excusa para identificar las lógicas identitarias, masculinas y nacionales dominantes en Argentina, al igual que las tensiones y disputas producidas en el marco de dicho proceso. Entre los resultados se destaca la importancia de los eventos deportivos en la producción de un proyecto corporal masculino y nacional moderno, así como las resistencias generadas con respecto a dicho proyecto.
La construcción social de climas urbanos y su relación con la pandemia de Covid-19 en Santiago de Chile
Authors: Romero-Aravena Hugo , Mendes Flávio Henrique
Published: July 2021

Santiago de Chile, como la totalidad de las ciudades latinoamericanas, registra importantes diferencias socioclimáticas en su interior que resultan de la apropiación, privatización y mercantilización de los climas por la falta de una adecuada planificación y gestión urbana, así como del ejercicio de poder por parte del mercado inmobiliario; caracterizando un objeto de estudio propio de la geografía física crítica. Se comparan las condiciones de temperatura superficial, coberturas y usos del suelo, morfología urbana y simulaciones de ventilación, de barrios que representan los significativos niveles de segregación e injusticia ambiental de esta ciudad. Las condiciones de origen y difusión de la pandemia de Covid-19 se correlacionan espacialmente con tales diferencias climático-urbanas y con determinantes socioeconómicos que se han ido construyendo junto con la ciudad y que requieren de acciones públicas decididas y masivas para revertir el actual escenario de injusticia e insustentabilidad socioclimática.

Published: July 2021

The purpose of this research is to provide some insights into relationship between decisionmaking heuristics and perceived quality of life. Using the purposive sampling technique, data collection was carried out, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from June to October 2020, yielding a sample of 319 valid responses. To gain a better understanding of the relationship between decision-making heuristics and the perceived quality of life, we, primarily, use descriptive statistical analysis, chi-square test and probit regression model. The research findings have revealed positive association between all three decision-making heuristics, i.e. representativeness, anchoring, availability, and perceived quality of life. Furthermore, the group with above-average perceived quality of life have higher representativeness, anchoring, and availability scores comparing to the group with below-average perceived quality of life. These differences are statistically significant. Furthermore, out of three decision-making heuristics components, availability, or a heuristic whereby people make judgments about the likelihood of an event based on how easily a similar example comes to mind, seems to be the strongest predictor of the perceived quality of life. Memories that are easily recalled are often insufficient for estimating likelihood of occurring similar events again in the future. In that respect, availability may produce low-quality information in the decision making process. Ultimately, this may lead to bad decisions.

Authors: Mahalakshmi P.
Published: July 2021

The bio-chemical changes occurred in the carnation after inoculation with F. oxysporum f.sp. dianthi was studied under in vitro. Carnation plants inoculated with fourteen isolates of F.oxysporum f.sp.dianthi and monitored for their ability to production of fungal pectin-degrading enzymes viz., Pectin Methyl Esterase (PME), Polygalacturonase (PG) and Pectin Trans Eliminase (PTE) involved in development of disease symptoms. Production of pectinolytic enzymes in carnation plants were assessed from 2 days up to 8 days after inoculation at 48h intervals. The accumulation of these enzymes increased in two days after inoculation and attained a peak at six days after inoculation and slowly declined thereafter in all the inoculated plants. Among the fourteen isolates, YRPFOD2 had maximum ability to increase the activity of pectinolytic enzymes viz., Pectin Methyl Esterase (0.49 μ mole hydrogen ion / min / ml), Polygalacturonase (16.11% reduction in viscosity) and Pectin Trans Eliminase (57.59 % reduction in viscosity) after six days of inoculation in infected plants.

Cotton is one of the most important fibre and cash crop in tribal area at Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh and plays a major share in the agricultural economy of the country. Nearly 65 per cent of cotton area is under rainfed and mainly in the plain and High altitude tribal areas of the district. Sucking pests of leaf hopper, white fly, thrips, mealy bugs, mites, redcotton bugs and aphids are becoming more serious, inviting indiscriminate use of pesticides in Bt cotton growing areas. Sucking pest incidence was controlled by the stem application of systemic insecticides viz., monocrotophos 1:4 ratio at 20 days after sowing and imidacloprid 200 SL with 1:20 ratio at 40 and 60 days after sowing. Within three days of application the population of sucking pests was reduced. This technique is being demonstrated and documented for two years at 20 locations in tribal farmers fields of Visakhapatnam district. Stem application in cotton showed better performance by reducing sucking pests damage of aphids (1.89%), leaf hoppers (3.57%), white fly (5.86%), thrips (4.31%), mealy bugs (5.09%), red cotton bug (6.82%) and mite (8.31%) along with more number of bolls and kapas yield in demo plots when compared to the farmers practice aphids (16.16%), leaf hoppers (27.32%), white fly (37.29%), thrips (18.42%), mealy bugs (36.87%), red cotton bug (7.90%) and mite (25.43%). On an average both years cotton kapas yield (2111kg/ha) under Front Line Demonstrations (FLDs) were higher by 19.76 per cent as compared to farmer’s practices. Results from the study showed that farmers realized additional net income of Rs.17, 260 due to increased cotton kapas yield by 19.76 per cent with reduction of cost of cultivation by Rs.3300, it could be attributed in reduction of manual labour requirement for stem application and also increase in yield.

Published: July 2021

Abstract: This study aimed to assess whether weight, length, and conditional growth during the first year are associated with glycemia and insulin resistance among young adults. A non-concurrent longitudinal design was used in the study. This is a population-based cohort study, composed of people aged from 22 to 28 years. We estimated z-scores from birth to the first year and the infants were classified as stunted, underweight, overweight, obese, wasted, and at risk of wasting, using cut-offs proposed by the World Health Organization (Child Growth Standards, 2006). Conditional weight and length gain variables were estimated. Glycemia, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and single point insulin sensitivity estimator (SPISE) were evaluated in adulthood. Multiple linear regressions that includes the variables associated with glycemia and insulin resistance were used. In total, 1,070 subjects were evaluated and glycemia in adulthood was higher among subjects who were wasted or at risk of wasting at 12 months (β coefficient = 2.77; 95%CI: 0.37; 5.21). In relation to normal weight, those subjects who were overweight at 12 months showed the lowest glycemia (β coefficient = -2.39; 95%CI: -4.32; -0.36). Conditional weight gain in the first year was negatively associated with glycemia in adulthood (β coefficient = -0.65; 95%CI: -1.23; -0.08). SPISE was higher among underweight subjects, and negatively associated with conditional relative weight gain and conditional linear growth in the first year. In conclusion, we found that undernutrition and suboptimal growth were associated with higher glycemia.

Abstract Introduction: The unprecedented coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected kidney transplant (KT) recipients, with worldwide fatality rates around 25%. Considering the well-known Brazilian socio-demographic disparities, this report describes for the first time the main outcomes of COVID-19 in KT recipients according to Brazilian geographic regions. Methods: This multicenter national retrospective analysis included data from KT recipients with confirmed COVID-19 between March and November 2020. Results: Thirty-five of the 81 centers (57% of KT activity in Brazil) reported 1,680 patients with COVID-19. The Northeast was the first to reach the peak in the number of infections. The Southeast, due to its population density, contributed with the largest number of patients. Patients had a median age of 52 years, 76% had hypertension and 34% diabetes, 75% were recipients of a deceased donor, and the time interval between diagnosis and transplantation was 5.9 years. In 53% of patients, immunosuppression was adjusted, and clinical support varied according to geographic region. Hospitalization was required for 65% of the patients, 35% of them needed intensive care, 25% mechanical ventilation, and 23% renal replacement therapy. The 90-day overall fatality was 21%, being 23% in the Southeast, 16% in the Northeast, and 19% in the Central-west and South regions. Conclusion: The migratory pattern of the pandemic among KT recipients followed that of the general population and the outcomes were influenced by regional features. COVID-19 in KT recipients was associated with high utilization of health-care resources and higher fatality rates than those reported in the general population.
A simplified approach to reliability evaluation of deep rock tunnel deformation using First-Order Reliability Method and Monte Carlo simulations
Authors: Silva Caio Cesar Cardoso da , Real Mauro de Vasconcellos , Maghous Samir
Published: July 2021

abstract: The Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) provide a reliability analysis in axisymmetric deep tunnels driven in elastoplastic rocks. The Convergence-Confinement method (CV-CF) and Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) criterion are used to model the mechanical interaction between the shotcrete lining and ground through deterministic parameters and random variables. Numerical models synchronize tunnel analytical models and reliability methods, whereas the limit state functions control the failure probability in both ground plastic zone and shotcrete lining. The results showed that a low dispersion of random variables affects the plastic zone's reliability analysis in unsupported tunnels. Moreover, the support pressure generates a significant reduction in the plastic zone's failure, whereas the increase of shotcrete thickness results in great reduction of the lining collapse probability.

abstract: The microstructure of cement pastes is important to understand the effect of some parameters in the hydration process. In this context, this study had as objective to evaluate the effect of different water/binder (w/b) ratios in the hydration process of cementitious pastes produced with and without incorporation of silica fume and metakaolin. The pastes were obtained with water/binder ratios of 0.3, 0.4 e 0.5, with replacement, by weight, of Portland cement for silica fume and metakaolin, in the contents of 10% and 20%, respectively. It was performed the X-ray diffraction test of the pastes in the ages of 1, 3, 7, and 28 days, to evaluate the hydration evolution of the cementitious materials. According to the results obtained, it was observed that the cementitious pastes presented similar mineralogical phases, except for the pastes containing metakaolin due to the formation of new aluminate phases. With the increase of the water/binder ratio, the pozzolanic reactions and hydration occurred in greater proportion, standing out the metakaolin with greater reactivity.

Published: July 2021

abstract: This paper presents the results of seven experimental tests in reinforced concrete wide beams, aiming to investigate their performance when subjected to shear, using prefabricated truss stirrups as shear reinforcement, as well as a supplementary reinforcement to control cracks by delamination. The main analysed variables were: position of the supplementary reinforcement, inclination of the shear reinforcement, and spacing between stirrups. Results showed that strength increments of up to 142% were obtained using the prefabricated truss stirrups. Furthermore, the experimental results were compared with the theoretical shear strength estimates of the tested beams, following the recommendations of NBR 6118 (2014), Eurocode 2 (2004), and ACI 318 (2014), in order to evaluate the safety level of these codes when designing concrete elements subjected to shear with the reinforcement used in this paper.

Published: July 2021

abstract: This study has as its main purpose the structural optimization of plane frames in concrete, having as the objective function the minimum total weight of the structure. For this purpose, external actions, considered within the optimization process, are intended to represent accurately all effects observed in a real situation. In such manner, loads are dependent on the cross-section obtained in each optimization step, as well as the static and dynamic effects of the wind are considered for a more realistic representation. The optimization method adopted is the Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO). Thus, all proper design constraints were considered in accordance with Brazilian standards for concrete structures. From the results obtained in both situations (static and dynamic effects), it is possible to notice the difference regarding external actions, in which higher loads were obtained in higher floors, using the simplified dynamic model proposed in standards. Regarding the analysis of the structure optimization, the weight was higher when the applied forces were the result of the dynamic wind model, in which the larger cross-sections were found at the bottom of the structure. Even though this may be a well-known issue, the present work shows a quantitative study in which both effects are discussed in detail, as well as it features a methodology, based on a novel optimization method and with a straightforward implementation, that could be adapted for the analysis of more complex structures.
The periphery of vP in the theory of wh-in situ
Authors: Bonan Caterina
Published: July 2021

This article outlines an implementation of Cable’s (2010) Grammar of Q that considers the role played by the periphery of vP, hitherto unexplored in this framework. Empirically, I offer a new example, in a new language family, of a known manifestation of wh-in situ: I argue that Trevisan, a Northern Italian dialect, displays compulsory clause-internal focus movement of both wh-elements and contrastive foci. Theoretically, I use the Trevisan data to present a new, tweaked application of previously proposed approaches whereby wh-elements do not contribute to clause-typing and Q-particles are cross-linguistically needed in the computation of answer-seeking wh-questions. My claim is that wh-in situ languages are characterised not only by language-specific choices between projection and adjunction of Q and overt vs covert movement of Q, but also in terms of the loci where the features relevant to wh-questions, [q] and [focus], are checked: while some languages check both in C, others make use of the clause-internal vP-periphery to check [focus]. The theory developed in this article provides an innovative understanding of the mechanisms involved in Northern Italian wh-in situ that reduces all core properties to different combinations of the setting of simple, universal micro- parameters related to interrogative wh-movement.
