Habitar y transitar la Ciudad de México
Authors: Umaña Reyes Lorena
Published: September 2022

This article presents the results of a qualitative investigation carried out during 2016 and 2017 on 72 young, middle-class women from three public universities in Mexico City. The aim of the study was to know their practices and social representations in their experience of living and circulating in the public interconnection spaces of the city. For this, the starting point is the question of how they represent two of the physical public interconnection spaces they use: The streets they travel along to go to their universities and public transport. But also, the public spaces they travel to: Universities, museums and parks. What is their spatial experience like when moving around in the city? The results display the conditions of insecurity and violence faced by these women in their daily lives and their representations of a city that stalks and neglects them, the city that naturalizes harassment, the city that is unequal for women when it comes to their ways of transportation in, and the representation of, these spaces.
Las chicas ya no quieren divertirse

Municipal areas such as Tultitlán, Coacalco and Ecatepec, in the State of Mexico, have been, for years now, a corridor for human trafficking, in which the disappearance of women has become constant; in the light of this scenario, inhabitants of these areas narrate their experiences of insecurity and fear, their self-care practices and explain how danger shapes everyday activities.The narrations by these young ladies displays the way in which violence shapes feminine subjectivities in contexts in which dangers are inevitable and life cannot be put on hold because of them, so the only alternative is to adapt. In these women’s experience, fear is not a distant and random possibility, but a latent and nearby risk, which one escapes every day, no nobody know for how much longer: They all narrate danger situations which, by chance, never took place.The recreation in particular is part of a discourse on the impossibility of ever being safe anywhere, on the prohibition and blame of the victims; nightlife, occasional and limited, is considered “debauchery” or “irresponsible and immature behavior.”
Estrategias securitarias de mujeres de sectores populares en la periferia urbana platense
Authors: Bertoni Gimena
Published: September 2022

The aim of this article is to analyze the security strategies of working-class women in La Plata, Argentina. The hypothesis guiding it is that the innovation and routinization of strategies, understood as rituals of everyday life that make it possible to continue and to project a dimension of the future, become crucial for the autonomy of women. The analysis is based on information gathered through observation and semi-structured interviews from women from peripheral settlements of the municipal area of La Plata. Results show that the strategies give everyday life a particular dose of certainty and colonization of the future, but which mainly deploy practices of avoidance and self-restriction in the use of the urban space. In addition, these strategies are mediated by their own and other women’s previous experiences.

Anopheles gambiae is a vector that is responsible for the transmission of malaria parasites which causes high morbidity and mortality in Nigeria and the world at large. Human-vector contact can be reduced by the use of conventional repellents being sold in the market, though some of these repellent are not environmentally friendly and An. gambiae have developed resistance to some of these repellents. To this end, the phytochemical constituents and insecticidal activity of crude extracts of Hyptis suaveolens (bush mint) was determined on adult An. gambiae mosquitoes collected from Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria to evaluate its effect in controlling them. Here, 70% ethanolic and diethyl ether fat crude extracts were made from H. suaveolens dried leaves and used to carry out the experiment. The phytochemical screening of the ethanol extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoid, saponins, tannins, steroids and reducing sugar. Glycoside was not detected in the ethanol extract. Only steroids was detected in diethyl ether extract the rest of the phytochemical tested were absent. An. gambiae larvae were collected from the field and were raised to F1 progeny adults that were used for the study. WHO protocol for carrying out human bait repellency cage test was used. Human hand treated with the extracts was exposed to a cage containing 30 female mosquitoes for each of the extracts respectively. The ethanolic crude extract treatment proved to be more effective in repelling mosquitoes with 0% (0/30) mosquito landing than diethyl ether extract which had 40% (12/30) mosquitoes landing and the control hand (untreated left hand) had the highest landing rate 63.3% (19/30) which showed very high significant difference (χ2 = 27.2619, df = 2, P <0.00001) in relation to the treatments. After 24 hours holding period, the mortality rate of exposed mosquitoes was observed to be highest in the ethanolic treatment 73.3% (22/30). In conclusion, H. suaveolens extracts have repellency potential in controlling adult An. gambiae.

Published: September 2022

Objective This study evaluated the quality of sleep and smartphone addiction in Korean adolescents during the coronavirus disease 19 pandemic and analyzed their effects on perceived quality of life.Methods An online survey system provided by the Gwangmyeong City Health Center located in Gyeonggi-do, Korea, was completed by 1,678 local middle school students from April 1 to June 30, 2021. We measured quality of life using the KIDSCREEN-27 health-related quality of life questionnaire, quality of sleep using the Korean version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and smartphone addiction using the Smartphone Addiction Self-Diagnosis Scale. Bed times, wake times, and total sleep hours were also recorded.Results Sleep quality and quantity were directly associated with smartphone addiction. The results indicated that lower quality of life was associated with lower sleep quality, delayed onset of sleep, shorter total sleep time, and higher smartphone addiction. Female students reported lower quality of life, lower sleep quality, delayed sleep phases, shorter total sleep hours, and higher smartphone addiction scores than did male students.Conclusion Our results suggest that adolescents’ quality of life is threatened by poor sleep, which in turn could be due to unhealthy smartphone usage. Girls were more heavily affected by this trend than were boys. Preparations to intervene for further mental health issues that might follow are necessary.

Objective Religious behaviors are considered as complex brain-based phenomena that may be associated with structural brain change. To identify the pattern of regional brain volume change in nuns, we investigated structural alterations in the brains of nuns using a fast processing automated segmentation method based on deep learning algorithms.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of the catholic sisters between the ages of 31 and 80 who are members of the charity of St. Vincent de Paul of Korea. A total of 193 asymptomatic subjects (86 nuns and 107 control subjects) received comprehensive health screening and underwent brain MRI scans. We compared cortical and sub-cortical volume between groups across multiple locations using our in-house U-Net++ deep learning-based automatic segmentation tool.Results Compared to the control group, the nun group displayed increased gray matter volume in the right lingual cortex, left isthmus-cingulate, posterior-cingulate, rostral-middle-frontal, superior-frontal, supramarginal, temporal-pole cortices, and bilateral pars-triangularis cortices after correction for multiple comparisons. On the other hand, the nun group showed reduced gray matter volume in the temporal and parietal regions relative to healthy controls.Conclusion Our study suggests that spiritual practice may affect brain structure, especially in several frontal regions involved in a higher level of insight function.
Der “Schreitkrabbler” - ein einfacher Mechanismus mit verblüffender Wirkung
Authors: Müglitz Jörg
Published: September 2022

Aus dem Schiffbau entstammt die Anregung, für das Schweißen in
steigender Position nach einem alternativen Bewegungs- und
Halteprinzip zu suchen. Unter dem Eindruck der immensen Haftkraft
moderner Permanentmagneten wurde versucht, einen
industrietauglichen Schreitmechanismus, einfach und schutzfähig, zu
entwickeln. Der Artikel beschreibt den Weg von der Idee über
Funktionsmodelle zu einem in industriellem Umfeld erprobten
Prototypen. Dessen spezielle Gebrauchseigenschaften leiten sich
wesentlich aus den zu Grunde liegenden mechanismentechnischen
Lösungen ab und beweisen, dass die Mechanismen in der modernen
Industrie sehr wohl ihren Platz haben und neue, unkonventionelle
technische Lösungen hervorbringen können.

The shipbuilding industry demanded a new principle for the uphill welding
of sections with hollow and full welded seams. The welded parts are
made by ferritic steel, so a basic principle based on permanent magnets
was preferred and guided to a linkage based walking mechanism.

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit einem sphärischen Handhabungssystem
und geht dabei detailliert auf den verwendeten Riemenantrieb am Bogen
ein. Die vorhandene Gleitreibung wurde mit dem Ziel der Leistungsverbesserung
in eine Wälzlagerung überführt und hinsichtlich der
Antriebsleistung vergleichend untersucht. Mit Hilfe eines Simulationsmodells
der Bogenführung in SimulationX wird überprüft, ob die
Antriebsauslegung des Riemens auch ohne ein physisches Modell
möglich ist. Eine weiterführende Untersuchung vergleicht die
theoretische bzw. simulierte Positioniergenauigkeit mit der realen
Genauigkeit des Systems am TCP.

The article deals with a spherical handling system and goes into detail
about the belt drive used on the curve. With the aim of improving
performance, the existing sliding friction was transferred to a roller
bearing and comparatively examined with regard to the drive
performance. With the help of a simulation model of the curve guide in
SimulationX it is checked whether the drive design of the belt is also
possible without a real model. A further investigation compares the
theoretical or simulated positioning accuracy with the real accuracy of
the system at the TCP.

Mechanismen mit nachgiebigen Elementen haben aufgrund ihrer reduzierten
Teilevielfalt und ihres geringeren Gewichts ein hohes Leichtbaupotenzial.
Für ihre gezielte Synthese wurde in diesem Artikel die
Phasenportrait-Methode vorgestellt [1], mit der große Verformungen mit
ausreichender Genauigkeit vorhergesagt werden können. Die mathematische
Behandlung der inhärenten Differentialgleichungen und die
Ableitung eines Phasenportraits bzw. des konkreten Verformungsbildes
sind jedoch komplex und zeitaufwendig. Um dieses Problem zu lösen
und eine schnelle und anschauliche Darstellung zu erreichen, umfasst
dieser Artikel auch die Entwicklung einer grafischen Benutzeroberfläche
(GUI) für die Synthese des Verformungsverhaltens von nachgiebigen
Elementen mittels Phasenporträt-Methode.

Synthesis of deformation behavior of compliant elements by phase
portrait method
Mechanisms with compliant elements have a high lightweight potential
due to their reduced diversity and weight of components. For their targeted
synthesis, a so-called phase portrait method has been presented
in this article [1], which allows the prediction of large deformations with
sufficient accuracy. However, the mathematical treatment of the inherent
differential equations and derivation of a phase portrait or the concrete
deformation pattern are complex and time-consuming. To solve this
problem and to achieve a fast and clear representation, this article also
includes the development of a graphical user interface (GUI) for the
synthesis of the deformation behavior of compliant elements using the
phase portrait method.

Belajar setiap orang dapat dilakukan dengan cara berbeda. Ada belajar dengan cara melihat, menemukan dan juga meniru. Karena melalui belajar seseorang akan mengalami pertumbuhan dan perubahan dalam dirinya baik secara psikis maupun fisik. Para guru seringkali tidak menyadari dan tidak mengetahui bagaimana cara yang tepat dan efisien untuk menerapkan pembelajaran di kelas agar bisa diterima dengan baik oleh siswa. Para guru cenderung menyamakan semua siswa-siswinya dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar yang tentu saja akan berdampak pada beberapa siswa yang tidak akan bisa menerima pelajaran dengan baik karena gaya belajar yang diterapkan tidak sesuai dengan dirinya.  Tujuan dari program ini yaitu memberikan pemahaman mengenai perbedaan gaya belajar pada siswa dan membantu memberikan pemahaman kepada guru bagaimana mengenali tipe-tipe siswa selama pembelajaran berlangsung. Metode dari program ini yaitu psikoedukasi berupa seminar online dengan penyampaian materi oleh narasumber dan sesi tanya jawab di akhir sesi penyampaian materi. Kegiatan dilakukan pada 62 siswa-siswi SMA di Kota Martapura. Para siswa-siswi SMA tersebut menyadari dan mengetahui gaya belajar serta suasana belajar yang sesuai dengan kepribadian dan tempramen masing-masing.

Identifying the Well-suited Chinese Herbal Products for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) Patients in Terms of Hazard Ratio and Child-Pugh Score Improvement: A Frequentist Statistical Analysis Applying ‘Netmeta’
Authors: Lo Ka-Cheng
Published: September 2022

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) causes high mortality and global burden. In addition to the conventional western treatments, HCC patients are actively seeking adjuvant therapies, such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), hoping to improve treatment outcomes and prolong survival. Until 2021, only two network meta-analyses (NMAs) compare different HCC treatments, which, however, did not compare all forms of TCM formulations, and there is no evidence informing which TCM works best for an outcome. This frequentist NMA, conducted with R (version 4.0.2) under the random-effect model, ranks all TCM integrative treatments by P-scores with its ‘netmeta’ package for two outcomes, survival (hazard ratio) and Child-Pugh score improvement (odds ratio). There are 289 RCTs retrieved from literature screening for NMA. For survival, the combination of Buxu Huadu decoction and Jinshuibao capsule ranks first overall (P-score 0.9745, HR 0.1962). Fugan injection is the best TCM injection (P-score 0.9809, HR 0.3051). Shugan Huazhuo decoction (P-score 0.9448, HR 0.3728) and Peiyuan Guben capsule (P-score 0.9677, HR 0.2946) are the best decoction and product for oral administration respectively. Aidi injection ranks first in Child-Pugh score improvement (P-score 0.7539, OR 4.3429). This NMA guides clinical decision making in all kinds of settings. Multi-centered RCTs are warranted for further verification. Keywords: traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), network meta-analysis (NMA), adjuvant treatments, frequentist statistical analysis

Published: September 2022

Identifying appropriate climate policy interventions that improve the resilience of Guinea Savanna farming systems to extreme weather conditions is crucial to reducing food insecurity and poverty. This study explored rural farming households’ encountered adaptation barriers and strategies used toward climate change. Participatory research tools and methods were used to collect data, including household surveys, focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and field observations. A multistage sampling procedure was employed in selecting 1,500 respondents in nine livelihood zones prone to drought and floods. Problem confrontation index (PCI) and relative importance index (RII) estimations were used to rank small-scale farmers’ climate adaptation barriers and strategies. Results showed that key barriers to successful climate change adaptation practices included limited access to farm inputs (PCI = 3203), poor access to agricultural machinery (PCI = 3161), and shortage of farm labour and its high cost (PCI = 3026), while the most prioritized adaptation strategies were crop diversification (RII = 0.59), planting early maturing crop varieties (RII = 0.47), and changing the timing of planting (RII = 0.42). This study provides decision-makers insights into farmers’ most adaptation barriers and prioritized strategies toward climate change to design effective and context-specific policies that aim to improve farming resilience to the adverse effects of changing climate.

For emerging countries, mining has been a vital factor in employment, economic development, infrastructure, and supply of essential raw materials for Nation’s Gross domestic product (GDP) growth. The Limestone mine industry is serving as a viable route for economic transformation in India.  Limestone exploration causes major damage to the environment at Yerraguntla industrial zone, YSR Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the environmental Pollution parameter that causes Air, Water, Noise, and Soil pollution in and around limestone quarries started in the early 1984. The present study estimated Air Quality Index (AQI) as 76 based on the air quality sub-index approach using four pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx) for a period of 24 hrs by taking one sample per hour during the post monsoon. Water Quality Index (WQI) obtained as 303.91 from fourteen physicochemical parameters (pH, EC, fluoride, Total alkalinity etc.) measured from water samples. Soil quality was determined using four physicochemical parameters (pH, EC, WHC, Calcium and Magnesium) from the soil samples collected from ten sampling stations. The obtained pH range was (7.6 to 9.4), EC of the soil was determined as 4,140 µs/cm, the water retention capacity of the soil, ranges from (17.68 to 97.68) %, and the Calcium (Ca2+) and Magnesium (Mg2+) ranged from 74.5 to 272.75 mEq/L. Noise levels were determined as 76.64 dB in the mine’s, 58.16 dB in the cement industry, and 52.285 dB in the mine surrounding villages. This study can help mining sector management’s in developing a sustainable Environmental Management frame work to meet the world sustainable development goals  (SDGs).
Antimetastatic potential of anthocyanins from Cordyline australis (G. Forst.) Endl. Red star variety on MCF onco cell lines
Authors: S. S. Usha , K. Murugan , Krishnan Remya
Published: September 2022

Breast cancer is the second most deadly diagnosed lifestyle disease among women. Surgery and chemotherapy are the current treatments of choice; nevertheless, toxicity connected with this underscores the urgency of the demand for the human-friendly drug. 50% of current synthetic drugs available commercially today are either direct or indirect descendants extracted from herbs. Anthocyanins possess many pharmacological activities, including anticancer potential. However, no study on anticancer activity of anthocyanins from Cordyline australis has been reported. Anthocyanins were extracted from fresh leaves using ethanol as solvent. The total anthocyanin was quantified and fractionated by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography. Cytotoxicitic effect was carried on diverse cancer cell lines like MCF 7, HCT-116, Caco-2 and SW480 using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay. Based on MTT data, MCF 7 cells were further analyzed by LDH assay, Glutathione-S- transferase (GST), Quercetin reductase, Cytochrome P450 and Caspase 3, 8 and 9 activities. The obtained results were analyzed using ANOVA with a level of significance. Results obtained from MTT assay revealed that the anthocyanin extract carried significant toxic (p < 0.05) specificity against MCF 7 cells (65 ± 2.1 toxicity at 50 µg/ml) when compared to the other onco cells. Remarkable LDH leakage (50.2% vs 50 µg/ml), GST (3.0±0.002 U/mg protein), QR (4.4±0.054 U/mg protein), Cyt P450 activities (0.291±0.01 U/mg protein) were noticed. Caspase 3 (157%), 8 (142%) and 9 (147%) displayed profound activities. These in vitro findings of specific anticancer effects noticed on C. australis anthocyanin extract require further evaluation using animal models. Finally, the obtained findings open up the possibility of developing a lead antimetastatic anthocyanin candidate against deadly breast cancer.

The Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) is a significant oilseed crop in India. The sap-sucking pest, mustard aphid (Lipaphis erysimi) emerged as a major threat to this crop, which can harshly reduce yield. The research experiment was carried out during the Rabi seasons, 2019-20 and 2020-21 at Rewari, Haryana to comprehend the influence of L. erysimi infestation on different yield parameters of B. juncea in the field. The two cultivars of B. juncea namely, RH 725 and RB 50 were raised in a paired plot design with two different sets viz., protected and unprotected and thirteen replications each set were kept. The protected set was sprayed with insecticide Dimethoate 30 EC @ 625 ml ha-1 one time only, whereas unprotected set was kept free from insecticidal application for natural infestation of the pest. The present investigation revealed that under unprotected conditions,  the yield parameters viz., weight of 100 siliquae, 100 siliquae husk, 10 main apical shoots (10 cm) and 1000 seeds, as well as seed yield, were significantly (P<0.01) affected by the L. erysimi infestation, while parameter, seed germination percentage influenced non-significantly (P>0.01). The maximum seed yield losses were registered in genotype RH 725 (26.25 %) when compared with RB 50 (25.92 %). All other yield parameters exhibited the same pattern except for three parameters i.e. weight of 100 siliquae, 100 siliquae husk and 10 main apical shoots (10 cm). In conclusion, this research highlights the colossal yield losses inflicted by L. erysimi infestation in B. juncea in unprotected conditions and the utility of insecticidal application in the enhancement of crop yield by management of this insect pest in protected conditions.

The false smut disease of rice incited by Ustilaginoidea virens is a major constraint on rice production. The main aim of the present study was to ascertain the false smut disease severity in both delta and non-delta districts of Tamil Nadu through survey and surveillance and assess the correlation between the disease severity and wind velocity for the past three years, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Moreover, the present study addressed the disease distribution pattern of false smut diseases under field conditions.  The results obtained from survey results revealed that the maximum disease severity was recorded in Nagapattinam district (Nagapattinam block) with 27.45% and the minimum disease severity was recorded in the district Theni (Bodinayakanur block) with 8% in 2021. Similarly in 2019 and 2020 maximum disease severity was recorded in the following districts Thanjavur district (Orathanadu block) with 19.91% and Thanjavur district (Peravurani block) with 18.54% and the minimum disease severity was recorded in the following districts Madurai district (Madurai north block) with 4.78% and Madurai district (Usilampatti block) with 4.78% respectively. The obtained R2 values through regression analysis were 0.70, 0.79 and 0.76 in the following years, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Besides the relationship between the false smut disease development, the pattern wind direction was also assessed. By assessing the false smut disease distribution pattern under field conditions, more disease distribution was observed around the surrounding area of the paddy field as well as the diagonal path of the field which clearly revealed that wind direction influences the disease development.

In the era of precision agriculture, the fertilizer prescription based on the soil fertility status is much required.  Analyzing the soil after each crop is necessary for fertilizer recommendation and developing an alternative technique to forecast the soil available nutrient value rather than analyzing the soil. Multiple linear regression (MLR) equation was developed using filed experiment data to predict the soil available nutrient in castor cropping sequence. The post-harvest soil available nutrient was considered as the dependent variable and the initially available soil nutrient values, fertilizer added, yield and nutrient uptake of castor as an independent variable. In general, the post-harvest soil nutrient model's prediction accuracy was notable and had a coefficient of determination of less than 0.90. By calculating the RMSE (root means square error), R2 value, the ratio performance to deviation (RPD) and, RE (relative error) the performance of the MLR model was confirmed.Using the validated model, post-harvest soil available nutrients were predicted and compared with laboratory tested soil available nutreints. It turned out that the established model is more precisely effective and equally precise. Fertilizer recommendation could be made to subsequent crop after hybrid castor using the predicted soil available nutrients.

We propose the theory of ecomindsponge to focus on examining the human information processing system in relation to the Earth’s ecosphere. This can help in the quest of knowing where we stand in this Universe and the basic mechanisms of how we interact with the natural environment.
Differential expression of TEX41 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published and public data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of the long non-coding RNA TEX41, encoding testis expressed 41, in the motor neurons of patients with ALS. TEX41 was also differentially expressed in the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons of patients with ALS. TEX41 transcript was present at significantly lower levels in ALS patient motor neurons as compared to control motor neurons. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.

Background: Child maltreatment is a risk factor for mental disorders and decreased life satisfaction during adolescence. We investigated whether child maltreatment would link to life satisfaction both directly and through psychological symptoms, whether these relations would change from admission to discharge after treatment, and which types of maltreatment, symptoms and facets of life satisfaction would be most influential in adolescent inpatients with internalizing mental disorders. Methods: N = 896 adolescent receiving inpatient psychotherapeutic treatment completed questionnaires on child maltreatment experiences, current psychopathology and subjective life satisfaction at admission and discharge (n = 765). Main diagnoses were affective (n = 322), eating (n = 447), obsessive–compulsive (n = 70) and anxiety disorders (n = 57). Network models of child maltreatment, psychopathology and life satisfaction nodes were estimated at admission and discharge and compared using network comparison tests. Potential causal shortest pathways were investigated using directed acyclic graphs. Results: Network models were stable with no significant differences between admission and discharge. Strongest nodes of each cluster were “emotional abuse” (child maltreatment), “worthlessness”, “thinking about dying” and “feeling lonely” (psychopathology) and “satisfied with life” (life satisfaction) at both admission and discharge. Emotional neglect showed direct connections to life satisfaction, indicating its relevance for therapeutic interventions. At both admission and discharge, “sexual abuse” indirectly predicted lower life satisfaction through psychological symptoms. Conclusions: Child maltreatment is directly and indirectly connected to life satisfaction in adolescents with mental disorders. Emotional abuse and neglect were especially important in linking child maltreatment to life satisfaction and psychopathology.
Attitudes towards Technologies and Technology Acceptance. An empirical study on innovations in construction craft.
Authors: Spilski Jan , Giehl Christoph , Lachmann Thomas , Mayerl Jochen
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Productivity in the construction trade has fallen significantly behind other sectors of the economy. Digital assistance systems can help to improve productivity, however they are rarely used in most smaller construction companies. To change this, it is the scope of this paper to investigate acceptance factors of digital assistance systems within small construction companies. Design/methodology: Construction workers of five smaller German construction companies participated in a survey (N = 74). We conducted a generic technology acceptance model (GTAM) that combines two strands of research: attitude-behaviour research and the technology acceptance model. We analysed acceptance factors using structural equation modeling. Findings: Applying GTAM we show the importance of factors that lead to the formation of acceptance among construction workers from small building companies. We found strong relationships between general attitudes and beliefs. General attitudes can be described as the first acceptance barrier in the adoption process. Perceived usefulness was the only significant belief for prediction of behavioral attitude in our model. Practical implication: The GTAM is parsimonious enough to be used in smaller pilot and industrial projects in the construction sector. Construction companies would probably be more likely to achieve acceptance of digital assistance systems in construction if acceptance-enhancing activities started with general attitudes and later considered the beliefs during implementation.Originality/ value: Our empirical study aims to fill the gap that little is known so far about which factors promote or inhibit individual acceptance of digital assistance systems in the construction trade.

This study analyses air quality behavior by considering nitrogen dioxide (NO2) as a reference parameter during atypical conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. NO2 concentrations in 31 departmental capital cities of Colombia (South America) were evaluated during four periods according to government dispositions to face the pandemic: (I) before isolation (normal conditions), (II) mandatory isolation (significant traffic and industrial activity reduction), (III) intelligent isolation (return of some commercial activities), and (IV) selective isolation (Increase of authorized commercial activities). A good fit between ground data and satellite information is observed. Results indicate that most of the cities (45%) present a counterintuitive behavior with concentration increments for Period II with respect to Period I.
