Art and Spirituality in the Covid-19 Epoch: An Exploratory Reading of Ben Okri’s Poetry
Authors: Ratau Nelson S
Published: June 2021

Covid-19 has infected approximately 160 million people globally since its first occurrence in China in 2019. Consequently, the whole world has been negatively impacted, with numerous people losing their lives, jobs and loved ones, including breadwinners in families. With the prevalence of the pandemic also came various views on the challenges that came with it. Literature cannot be left out of the modes that are providing an understanding of the negative impact of Covid-19 on the world. Therefore, this paper explores the poetry of the Nigerian poet, novelist and essayist, Ben Okri, in light of his thematisation of spirituality. By spirituality, it is meant the ‘recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself’, the times and situation(s) in which one exists’. In this paper, Okri’s poetry is considered as an essential index into how ‘the spiritual’ is conceived and articulated, even in times of pandemics. The paper adopts the Hermeneutical Approach as a theoretical lens through which Okri’s poetry may be best viewed and understood. The Hermeneutical Approach essentially entails the analysis of texts in order to develop insight or thoughtful wisdom. Furthermore, the paper proffers that Okri’s poetry is invested with a spiritual temper that makes it relevant as it encourages and makes and keeps ‘awake’ a spiritual sensibility in the people during the Covid-19 pandemic. The analysis is undergirded by a predetermined set of themes, namely; race, identity, healing, spirituality, thought and consciousness that Okri poeticises about and subsequently interrogates in his poetry. In the process, Okri’s poetry also encourages spiritual renaissance and the awakening of consciousness, by tempering in a reader the inalienable fact that to change or shape reality, people ought to do it themselves. Okri’s poetry challenges people to define themselves and defy all false definitions of themselves made by others. Ultimately, the paper explicates that Okri’s poetry is charged with pointed rebuke of people’s apparent apathy towards issues such as freedom, equality and transformation (all of which belong to the great stream of ‘the spiritual’), of which he submits that people ought to take charge of how these three important entities come about and exist in society.

Authors: Sangeeta M , Afroze M Khizer Hussain , K L Varalakshmi
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are commonly encountered in day-to-day practice. The morphology of the intercondylar notch (ICN), in particular, the width, and shape of the notch are of anatomic interest predisposing to ligament injuries. The previous literature points to contradicting views on the association between ICN dimensions and cruciate ligament injuries.
Aim of the study: This study aims to study the morphometry of the ACL and ICN in 32 prosected lower limbs and to see if any association exists between the two.
Objectives The objectives of the study were to estimate the dimensions of ACL (maximum length and width) in 32 prosected lower limbs, estimate the dimensions of ICN (ICN width and depth) along with intercondylar (IC) width in 32 prosected lower limbs, and test the strength of association between the dimensions of ICN with the dimensions of ACL.
Materials and Methods: The study was done in the Department of Anatomy of MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Bengaluru. Thirty-two prosected lower limbs from the department of anatomy were used for the study.
Results: It was observed that IC width correlated positively with ACL length as well as ACL width. A strong positive correlation was also observed between IC width with ICN width. Femoral notch width index also correlated positively with ACL width.
Conclusions: The above study provides valuable data on the morphometry of ACL and its association with all dimensions of IC fossa unlike previous studies which have correlated the dimensions of IC fossa only with the thickness of ACL.

Published: June 2021

A babesiose canina é uma hemoparasitose causada por agentes etiológicos do gênero Babesia. A utilização do diagnóstico clínico é imprecisa devido a existência de sinais clínicos inespecíficos, e os exames usados rotineiramente como o esfregaço sanguíneo apresenta muitos resultados falso negativos. Objetivo comparação da eficiência do diagnóstico por padrõeshematológicos, esfregaço sanguíneo, e por reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR). Método trata-se de uma pesquisa realizada com de 80 cães que se encontravam sobre responsabilidade do Centro de Controle Zoonoses. Por meio da coleta de 3 ml de sangue venoso, por animal para a realização dos testes. Resultados, observou-se leve a moderada anemia nas 80 amostras analisadas, porém sem diferenças significativas nos parâmetros do hemograma dos cães positivos e negativos para a babesiose. Embora o diagnóstico pelo esfregaço sanguíneo tenha sido negativo, a PCR apresentou positividade de 46,2% (37/80) para Babesia canis. Foi identificado alto índice de resultados positivos para Babesia canis nos cães parasitados pelo carrapato vetor. Considerações finais a partir dos resultados encontrados, conclui-se que existe fragilidade nos exames utilizados rotineiramente para o diagnóstico da babesiose canina quando comparado ao diagnóstico molecular. Evidenciando anecessidade de implantação de novas metodologias para diagnóstico mais eficiente.

Published: June 2021

The determination of mechanical properties of unshelled Moringa oleifera seeds was studied under compression test at varying orientations and moisture contents for postharvest equipment design. A completely randomized block design (CRBD) was applied in designing the experiment. The impact of varying moisture content levels of (10.25, 17.33, 24.47, and 32.34% dry basis) on the applied force at bio-yield and rupture, deformation, energy at rupture, crushing strength, and elastic modulus of the seed samples were investigated. Polynomial functions of the 2nd order with coefficients of correlation ranging between 0.642 ≤ R2 ≤ 0.999 gave the best fit and described the resulting relationships between the studied properties with respect to moisture levels at the two loading axes. Results obtained showed that the seed samples had maximum values of 80.3 N, 110 N and 257.2 J, for bio-yield force, rupture and rupture energy respectively at (10.25% d.b., in the horizontal orientation; whereas minimum values of 31.5 N, 54.9 N and 51.3 J for bio-yield force, rupture force and rupture energy occurred at (32.34% d.b.) respectively in the vertical orientation. Also, the maximum compressive strength of 5.8 N mm-2 in the horizontal orientation of the seed samples at 10.25% d.b. whereas the minimum compressive strength (2.5 N mm-2) occurred in the vertical orientation at 10.25% d.b. moisture content. The sample exhibited less resistive strength to crushing in the horizontal position as the moisture increased; whereas in the vertical position, the cell’s vertical edges provide some form of shield against external pressure which resulted in increased crushing resistance per contact area of the sample.

Published: June 2021

Today, the digital and social media platforms are extremely trending, leading a demand to transmit knowledge very firmly. The information that is exchanged daily becomes ‘a victim’ to hackers. To beat this downside, one of the effective solutions is Steganography or Cryptography. In this paper, the video Steganography and cryptography thoughts are employed, where a key text is hidden behind a ‘certain frame’ of the video using Shi-Tomasi corner point detection and Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithmic rule. Shi-Tomasi algorithmic rule is employed to observe, the corner points of the frame. In the proposed work, a ‘certain frame’ with large number of corner points is chosen from the video. Then, the secret text is embedded within the detected corner points using LSB algorithmic rule and transmitted. At the receiver end, decryption process is employed, in the reverser order of encryption to retrieve the secret data. As a technical contribution, the average variation of Mean Squared Error, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, Structural Similarity Index are analysed for original and embedded frames and found to be 0.002, 0.016 and 0.0018 respectively.

Authors:   Belarusian-Russian University, Lustenkova E.S.
Published: June 2021

The article presents a method for calculating and designing spherical roller gears with a double-row pinion. The studied gears are analogs of planetary gears with a double-wheel pinion. They make it possible to implement a wide range of gear ratios. The advantages of spherical roller gears include small dimensions, low material consumption, and layout properties. A special feature of the proposed calculation algorithm is the search for optimal geometric gears parameters according to the criteria of maximum efficiency coefficient taking into account maximum load capacity for a given maximum radial dimensions. The main criterion of strength is fatigue endurance. The method includes design and verification calculations. It makes it possible to develop the small-sized speed reducers for low-speed drives for various purposes.

The physical foundations and advantages of ring rolling are described. The materials science and technological processes of manufacture of products with its use are generalized. An analysis of the equipment of an automated ring rolling line was carried out, which showed that it is a complex and expensive technical solution. Moreover, the organization of the line with maximum load and efficiency is not included in the supplier’s tasks. The requirements for the maximum load of the line and its efficient operation have been determined. It is shown that the use of the experience of creating automated production of railway wheels when creating an automated production of ring blanks is impossible due to the need to ensure the production of rings of different structural shapes from different steel grades with different temperature ranges of plastic deformation and with different (from a hundred to several thousands) annual production programs. This requires the use of a different ratio of the radial and axial forces of the ring rolling, different technological equipment, taking into account different stiffness of the rings and their tendency to deformations during processing, transportation and cooling, a special development of mechanization means for readjustments. It is impossible to work out in advance all the technological options for the production of rings of different standard sizes on an automated line. In this regard, for the effective work of the complex, it is necessary to develop technological support and software for the manufacturing processes of each ring, to provide for the possibility of adjusting technological processes directly on the automated line with the participation of operators. On this basis, the tasks of technological support for the operation of the automated ring rolling complex at the OJSC “BELAZ” were formulated.

İslam Hukuku ve Uluslararası Hukukta Esir Hakları
Authors: MOHAMMED ABDO Fawaz
Published: June 2021

İslam fıkhının tarih sürecine dahil oluşundan beri en önemli yanlarından biri haklar konusudur. Özellikle savaş ve barış zamanlarında insan hakları fıkıh literatüründe büyük bir yer kaplamıştır. İnsan, savaş sırasında özgürlüğünü kaybedebilir, zulüm ve kötü muamele görebilir veya hapse atılabilir. Bu nedenle, İslam esirlere iyi davranılması hususunda dikkate alınması gereken hak, görev ve kurallar belirlemiştir. Tarihe bakacak olursak esirlere yönelik tasarruflar konusunda karanlık uygulamalara rastlamaktayız. Çünkü esirlerin düşman elinde kaldığı sürece insan değerlerini ihlal eden muamelelerle karşılaştığı, dövme, yaralama, taciz, yakma gibi fiziksel işkenceye maruz kaldığını görebilmekteyiz. Yine esirin yeme ve içmeden mahrum bırakılarak, açlık ve susuzlukla cezalandırılıp ölüme terkedildiğini İslam öncesi cahiliye dönemi uygulamalarından anlamaktayız. Esirler konusunda gerek İslam hukukunda gerekse sivil hukukta çeşitli maddeler ve hükümler benimsenmiştir. İslam hukuku bağlamında esirlerin takas edilmesi ve öldürülmesine ilişkin farklı görüşler ortaya konmuştur. Fıkıh ekolleri arasında onların öldürülmesini yanlış bulanlar olduğu gibi konuyu ülkenin çıkarı bağlamında değerlendirenlere de rastlanmıştır. Çalışmamızda İslam hukukunda konuya ilişkin tartışmaları bir nebze aydınlatmak gayesi güdülmüş, yürürlükteki uluslararası antlaşmaların savaşlardaki tutsak hukukuna ilişkin atıflarına değinilmiştir.
Tanrı, Olasılık ve Kötülük
Authors: YILDIZ İbrahim
Published: June 2021

Felsefe tarihi boyunca Tanrı’nın varlığını yadsıyan birçok argüman ileri sürülmüştür. Bunların en güçlü olanları, kötülük temel alınarak kurgulananlar olmuştur. Dünyada çok miktarda kötülüğe konu olan durumlar bulunduğu düşüncesi temelinde çeşitli argümanlar sunulmuştur. Bu makalede kötülüğün kendisinde temel bir veri olarak kullanıldığı bir olasılık hesabından hareketle Tanrı’nın varlığına karşı sunulan bir argüman değerlendirilmektedir. Bu, James W. Cornman, Keith Lehrer ve George S. Pappas’ın beraber kurguladıkları bir argümandır. İhtimaliyet temelinde kurulan bu argümanı sunduktan sonra argümanın teistik Tanrı anlayışını yadsımaya neden olup olmadığı tartışılacaktır. Bu argümana karşı sunulan itiraz da dikkate alınarak kötülüğün Tanrı’nın var olma olasılığını ortadan kaldıran bir kanıt olarak kullanıldığı olasılık teorisi üzerinde kurulan argümanların yeterli ölçüde güçlü olmadığı savunulmaktadır. Bu makale, olasılık teorilerinin olgusal alana dair güveniler bilgi verebileceği ancak Tanrı’nın varlığına karşı bir olasılık teorisi temel alınarak kurgulanan argümanların insanın epistemik açıdan erişimin olmadığı metafiziksel alana dair ulaştığı sonuçların güvenilir olmayacağı sonucuna varmaktadır. Nihayetinde konu Tanrı olunca her bir yeni öncül/veri, olasılık hesabının sonucunu doğrudan etkileyecektir.
ANALISIS KERUNTUHAN BENDUNGAN (DAM BREAK ANALYSIS) DALAM UPAYA MITIGASI BENCANA (STUDI KASUS DI WADUK/ BENDUNGAN TEMPURAN)
Authors: Arifin Muhamad , Budiyanto Muchamad Arif
Published: June 2021

Bendungan Tempuran disamping bermanfaat untuk memenuhi berbagai kebutuhan bagi manusia, juga menyimpan potensi bahaya yang sangat besar bila tidak dikelola dengan baik, yaitu apabila bendungan tersebut runtuh dapat menyebabkan kerugian jiwa dan materi yang sangat besar, serta hancurnya infrastruktur yang ada di daerah hilirnya. Salah satu potensi bahaya yang dapat ditimbulkan adalah keruntuhan Bendungan. Keruntuhan dapat diakibatkan oleh bocoran yang membawa material bendungan secara berangsur-angsur yang disebut erosi buluh atau piping. Akibat keruntuhan tersebut, air yang tertampung di bendungan akan mengalir ke lembah sungai di hilir bendungan dengan debit yang sangat besar serta kecepatan aliran air banjir yang sangat tinggi. Untuk meminimalkan kerugian yang dapat ditimbulkan akibat keruntuhan bendungan, maka perlu dilakukan mitigasi bencana dalam rangka melakukan upaya tindakan preventif dengan cara melakukan simulasi pemodelan keruntuhan Bendungan.

Analisis keruntuhan Bendungan Tempuran (dam break analysis) dilakukan dengan pemodelan menggunakan bantuan software Zhong Xing HY21 dengan skenario kondisi muka air waduk setinggi banjir desain, dimana inflow hidrograf sama dengan banjir rencana. Kondisi dalam analisis keruntuhan bendungan tersebut ditinjau dalam alternatif kondisi akibat piping atas pada elevasi ±123 m dengan inflow PMF (probably maximum flood).  Kondisi ini diasumsikan merupakan kondisi yang paling optimal sebagai acuan untuk melakukan Tindakan rencana mitigasi bencana dalam upaya meminimalkan kerugian baik kerugian materiil maupun kerugian imateriil

Dari hasil analisis pemodelan tersebut dengan scenario piping atas dan dari hasil analisis hidrologi dengan debit inflow PMF (Snyder) sebesar 137,257 m3/det diperoleh hasil dampak banjir yang ditimbulkan sepanjang 9,911 km kearah hilir melalui aliran Sungai Ngampel yang bermuara di Sungai Lusi. Area terdampak meliputi 15 Desa di dua Kecamatan sepanjang sungai tersebut yang berada di hilir dari Bendungan Tempuran. Waktu tiba banjir ke desa terdekat (Desa Tempuran) adalah 15 menit sedangkan waktu banjir sampai ke desa terjauh (Desa kamolan) adalah 6 jam.

Pemanfaat limbah untuk bahan susun beton telah banyak dilakukan sebagai upaya pengembangan teknologi beton. Serat gelas (fiber gelas) asal limbah porselen sebagai agregat halus dalam beton diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kekuatan beton sekaligus turut berpartisipasi penanganan limbah. Tujuan dari penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan fiber gelas ex porselen terhadap mutu beton. Pasir dari Kali Gendol dan kerikil dari Clereng dengan ukuran maksimal 40 mm, faktor air semen 0,48 dan fiber gelas ex dengan proporsi 0%, 2,5%, 5%, dan 10% terhadap berat semen. Pengujian yang dilakukan adalah kuat tekan dengan menggunakan cetakan silinder dengan ukuran diameter 15 cm dan tinggi 30 cm, dan kuat lentur dengan cetakan balok dengan ukuran 15 x 15 x 60 cm, dan untuk serapan air menggunakan pecahan benda uji hasil pengujian kuat lentur. Pengujian dilakukan pada beton umur 14 dan 28 hari. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh, bahwa dengan adanya penambahan fiber gelas ex porselen pada persentasi 2,5% terdapat kenaikan kuat tekan beton sebesar maksimal 15,25% terhadap beton normal. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa beton dengan bahan tambah fiber gelas ex porselen meningkatkan kuat lentur. Kadar 2,5% fiber gelas meningkat kuat lenturnya sebesar 121% terhadap beton pasir normal, sedangkan penambahan beikutnya ada kecenderungan mengalami penurunan. Hal ini disebabkan penambahan fibreglass 2,5% memberikan pengikatan tarik pada pasta semen sehingga menambah ikatan tarik yang berpengaruh pada kuat lentur dan daktilitas. Untuk hasil pengujian kuat lentur beton

Penambahan fibre glaa ex porselen terjadi penurunan nilai serapan air dari 13,4% menjadi 11,4%. Trendline penurunan daya serap air ini berbanding terbalik dengan kekuatan tekan maupun lentur. Adanya pengaruh yang cukup signifikan antara kuat tekan, kuat lentur dan daya serap air beton dengan penambahan fiber gelas ex porselen. Penambahan pada kadar fiber glass sebesar 2,5% meningkatkan kekuatan beton.

Berada di daerah gempa yang aktif, semua bangunan di Indonesia harus direncanakan mengikuti persyaratan yang ketat dari peraturan bangunan sehingga mampu menahan beban gempa yang direncanakan, khususnya dengan menggunakan peraturan bangunan dan peraturan gempa yang baru. SANSPRO, suatu program terpadu untuk Pemodelan, Analisis, Desain, Penggambaran, dan Perhitungan Biaya Struktur, dapat menjadi suatu alat bantu yang sangat berguna untuk meningkatkan mutu desain di Indonesia. Program ini dapat digunakan sebagai alat bantu belajar, dan juga sebagai alat desain sehari-hari.

Perencanaan struktur dengan konsep kapasitas menuntut proses yang cukup rumit dibandingkan dengan perencanaan tanpa konsep kapasitas. Penelitian ini ingin memeriksa perilaku struktur rangka beton bertulang yang direncanakan tanpa konsep kapasitas (cara biasa) serta membandingkan kemampuan struktur tersebut dengan struktur yang direncanakan dengan konsep kapasitas. Model bangunan yang dipakai adalah struktur rangka beton bertulang bertingkat 6 yang terletak di wilyah gempa 2 Indonesia, memiliki bentuk dan ukuran denah yang sama.

Struktur tersebut dibebani dengan gempa El Centro 1940 M-Sedang. Akibat gempa El Centro 1940N-S, hampir semua model struktur masih bersifat elastis. Hal ini terjadi karena gempaEl Centro 1940N-S termasuk gempa kecil sampai sedang di wilayah gempa 2 Indonesia. Dari pembebanan gempa 200 tahun tertihat bahwa model struktur yang direncanakan dengan Cara Kapasitas memberikan hasil yang memuaskan. Mekanisme terjadinya sendi plastis sesuai dengan yang diinginkan. Daktilitas balok maupun kolom yang tersedia cukup untuk memencarkan energi gempa.

A ergonomia pode ser entendida como o estudo de adequações do posto de trabalho aos funcionários, afim de buscar uma solução coerente para melhorar o bem estar e atividades desenvolvidas no cotidiano. A ergonomia não é algo inacessível para a construção civil, porém as empresas deixam de investir em sua  implantação da mesma, não realizando treinamentos ou campanhas preventivas, consequentemente pode-se ocasionar o aparecimento de lesões por esforços repetitivos (LER), podendo se agravar e inclusive causar o afastamento do funcionário. As ações de prevenção de patologias ocupacionais são medidas que contribuem para a redução de taxas de acidentes do trabalho, levando em conta que o canteiro de obra é o ambiente mais propício para o surgimento de problemas ergonômicos por englobar uma série de atividades em um mesmo setor. Este artigo se propõe a identificar e descrever os riscos ergonômicos mais comuns na construção civil, utilizando o método do Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), com a obtenção do Risk Priority Number (RPNs) para priorizar as falhas encontradas, e com isso apontar medidas preventivas. Para isso, realizou-se um estudo de caso na construção do camelódromo na cidade de Imperatriz – MA, com destaque nos processos de execução de levantamento das paredes e transporte em carrinho de mão; com a finalidade de mostrar posturas inadequadas e como executá-la de forma correta sem gerar riscos ergonômicos.

Placemaking as multi-faceted tool in urban design and planning. A strategic approach in case of Hubballi city, Karnataka, India
Authors: Jakkappanavar Anita C.
Published: June 2021

Cities are the main engines of economy attracting influx of population from rural to urban areas. They are the major contributors of global GDP and hold high potential for development opportuniites but yet they face many inequalities. These negative effects suppress positive ones if not managed properly. In context to Hubballi (a developing city of North Karnataka), in the past the cultural matrix shared a symbiotic relationship with the green & blue networks that traversed the city in a manner that could be characterized as the urban commons. However, over a few decades, industrialization & changing economic drivers have led to over exploitation of natural resources. Specifically, in the case of Unkal Nullah, a canal which originates from Unkal Lake in the northern end of Hubballi city. The mismanagement of urban development led to self-build practices, poor drainage system and encroachment of low-income houses along the water edges. Lack of maintenance led to waste dumping practices into the canal which was a source of sustenance in the past, to become the backyard or sewer of the city in the present day. This inturn led ecological imbalances which were compromised and neglected to the background. To ameliorate the situation there have been multiple efforts in terms of policies and missions, the most recent one being the ‘smart cities mission’ which also stresses the sustainable development of Indian cities. This paper is an attempt to fulfill the motive of “smart cities makes better cities with healthier people” by assessing Place making as a major tool to configure waterfront dynamics to create public realm, to make people centric approach which contribute to people’s health, happiness and wellbeing. It is necessary to rethink on the matrix of land & water through urban design & planning efforts in making cities more connected with its water-land-people.

A Hospital based study of High Resolution Computed Tomography and Conventional Radiography for Evaluation of
Pathologies of Temporal Bone
Authors: Ram Ravi Kumar P
Published: June 2021

Background:
Many imaging modalities have been in use for the evaluation
of temporal bone lesions. Plain X-rays are cost-effective
however; they provide limited details and hence sometimes
may result in an inaccurate diagnosis. With the advent of HRCT,
the method of imaging of temporal bone has evolved with
special algorithms and multiplanar formats. In the present
study, we tried to evaluate the different pathologies of the
temporal bone with X-ray and HRCT.
Methods: The study was conducted in the Departments of
Otorhinolaryngology and Radiology, Prathima Institute of
Medical Sciences, Naganoor, Karimnagar. A total of n=40
patients were identified and selected based on their symptoms
and clinical findings suggestive of a lesion involving the
temporal bone such as Otalgia, Otorrhoea, And
Sensorineuronal deafness, pulsatile tinnitus, vertigo, and
giddiness. These patients were subjected to high resolution
computed tomography of the temporal bone on the 128 Slice
CT Scanner (PHILIPS INGENUITY). The patients also underwent
plain Radiography of temporal bone (CARESTREAM DRX-1
System).
Results: Of the total n=40 patients studied the most common
temporal bone disease was due to inflammation 85% and
tumors were found in 15% of the patients. The common site
of involvement of middle ear and mastoid air cells in chronic
otitis media was epitympanum in n=30(90%) of cases,
Mesotympanum in n=20(60%) of cases. In diseased ears,
radiographs of the mastoids revealed pneumatised mastoid in
6(15%), diploic in 6(15%), and sclerosed mastoid in 28(70%)
cases. HRCT temporal bone revealed pneumatised mastoid in
9(22.5%), diploic in 5(12.5%) and sclerosed mastoid in 26(65%)
cases.
Conclusion: The role of plain radiography is found to be limited
to know the type of mastoid pneumatisation. It can also as
Original Article
detect bony erosion in few cases. Because of the ability to see
temporal bone structures with great clarity, HRCT can be
recommended not only in cases suspected with potential
complications but also in all cases of temporal bone pathologies
to know the extent of disease, inter-relationships of the
tympanomastoid compartment with adjacent neurovascular
structures, varied pneumatisation and the presence of
anatomical variations, which should alert the clinician and
guide in surgical approach and treatment plan.

Overall incidence of DKA was 0.33% and slightly more in males
(0.35%) than in females (0.30%). Cases were more in summer
and spring especially high summer i.e. 18.66%. Maximum
patients i.e. 47% have blood sugar level above 600 mg/dl.
38(49%) patients showed sodium level slightly lower than
normal. Hypokalemia was observed in 13(17%) patients.
Conclusion: Cases were more in summer and spring especially
during high summer i.e. 18.66%. BSL was above 600 mg/dl in
almost half of the DKA patients. Hyponatremia and
hypokalemia were predominant findings in our study.

infections and its socio-demographic determinants among the
women of reproductive age group (15-49 years) in urban slums.
To assess the health seeking behavior among the women
suffering from reproductive tract infections.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among
the women of reproductive age group (15-49 yrs) residing in
slums of urban field practice area of tertiary care teaching

women was 22.3%. Vaginal discharge, 57(85%) and pain
abdomen 39 (58.2%) were the most common symptoms. The
socio demographic factors significantly associated with RTIs
were illiteracy and low socio economic status. Women using
cloth during menstruation and having dysmenorrhea were
found to be associated risk factors for RTIs. Women having > 3
children, 26(29.2%) and using IUCD, 16(50%) as a method of
contraception were found to be at risk of RTIs. Health seeking
behavior of the women suffering from RTI was found to be

Enkripcija mobilnog telefona kao prepreka otkrivanju i dokazivanju krivičnih dela – osvrt na uporedna rešenja
Authors: Pisarić Milana
Published: June 2021

In detecting criminal offences, the police increasingly rely on electronic evidence. Due to ubiquitous digitization, data in electronic form with probative potential is found in an increasing number of sources. When the competent authorities need to collect potential electronic evidence from mobile phones, they face several normative and practical challenges. One of the important aggravating factors is the full-disk encryption of the device. Although functions of encryption cannot and must not be neglected in the modern digital environment, it has an obstructive role in criminal investigation. The competent authorities often have the appropriate authority to access the contents of a mobile phone, but they lack the technical ability to gain such access and collect data. After explaining the basic principles of encryption of mobile phones, the author analyzes the possible approaches for gaining access to a device protected by encryption, and indicates the possible legal basis for their application.

Authors: Costa Ivoneide , Da Silva Anderson Macedo
Published: June 2021

No século XIX muitos engenheiros foram contratados para pôr em prática osempreendimentos ligados à modernização de portos, estradas e urbanísticas. Com o intuito de facilitar as transações de mercadorias e pessoas, a ideia do governo era criar nas regiões relacionadas com o vale do Rio São Francisco um amplo sistema geral de transporte utilizando as vias de comunicação fluvial, ferroviária e terrestre, criando assim um grande sistema de comunicação e transporte. A Comissão de Melhoramento do Rio São Francisco (CMRSF) foi criada em 1883 para executar melhoramentos no rio com objetivo de facilitar a navegação. Os trabalhos CMRSF foram iniciadas em 1883 com sondagens, levantamento de plantas, nivelamento e determinação da velocidade das correntes marítimas, seguido com o serviço desobstrução e da construção dos diques. O objetivo do texto é estudar os recursos gráficos dos mapas utilizados por esses engenheiros na CMRFS no intuito de apresentar um panorama de como e quais os recursos gráficos eram utilizados no final do século XIX no campo da engenharia.
