Authors: Xuan Hung Le , Vo Duy M.P. , Nocke Andreas , Sennewald Cornelia , Hoffmann Gerald , Cherif Chokri
Published: June 2022

This research focuses on the electromechanical strain-sensing behaviour of steel wires on the fiber and composites scale. The electromechanical properties are investigated by using a uniaxial fiber tensile test with a simultaneous electrical resistance measurement. Further, this work conducts a comprehensive stress analysis of textile reinforced concrete (TRC) specimen in quasistatic and dynamic tensile tests by using integrated steel wires in a textile 3D-weaving reinforcement as piezoresistive in-situ-sensors. The results are compared to optical strain measurements using digital image correlation (DIC). The acquisition and analysis of the electrical resistance changes of the steel wire sensors enable an in-situ stress analysis as well as a better understanding of the mechanical response of the TRC specimen under different loading scenarios.

Authors: Babaarslan Osman , Shahid Abul , Dilek Sarapnal
Published: June 2022

Denim fabric is well accepted, and still, now it has appeal for its variation and technological improvement. Denim is mostly produced from cotton, which is concerned with the sustainability issue. In this article, a new generation of sustainable yarn has been developed from lyocell and cellulosic acetate fiber, blended with cotton fiber having the object to alternate and minimize the cotton fiber amount in the denim production. In this study, denim fabric was produced from Lyocell (Tencel®)/Cotton blended warp yarn and Cellulosic acetate (CA(Naia®))/Cotton blended dual core-spun weft yarn then fabric performances have been analyzed. From the analysis, 100% CO fabric weight changes more than other samples due to higher shrinkage than others. Regenerated yarn samples have lower growth percentages with high elasticity than 100% cotton. Regenerated blended yarn fabric samples have lower tear strength on the weft side than 100% CO sample, but they have more tear and tensile strength on the warp side. Denim fabric from sustainable yarns is also wear comfortable.

In this study, the pigment obtained from Rubia Tinctorum plants growing around Central Anatolian Region (Konya) and the Reseda Luteola L plant extract collected from Black Sea Region, have been used as natural dye sources. The 100% cotton, single pique knitted surfaces with 190 g / m2 weight are used as a material to be dyed. Prior to the dyeing process, the samples were mordanted with 1% potassium aluminum sulphate and copper sulphate in a laboratory dyeing machine (Thermal). Following the mordant process, the samples were dyed in the laboratory dyeing machine at boiling temperature for 60 minutes according to the exhaustion method. The samples were left to be cooled in the dyeing liquor and 12 hours later, cold overflow washing, hot washing, boiling soaping and cold rinsing were performed additionally. After the drying process, color measurements were carried out with a spectrophotometer (Machbeth 2 180 V) using Color office Textile program to create color coordinates according to the CIE Lab system under D65 illuminate and 10° standard observer. As a conclusion, the samples mordanted with potassium aluminum sulphate and then dyed with natural dye obtained from Rubia Tinctorum plant is considered the standard for color measurement, it has been determined that copper sulphate mordant is effective in the change of (ΔE*) total color difference (ΔE*=7.93). The samples with Rubia Tinctorum have a lighter color than the standard, the green and blue nuance is more, and the color is more matte as well. The samples mordanted with potassium aluminum sulphate and then dyed with natural dye obtained from Reseda Luteola L plant is considered the standard for color measurement, it has been determined that copper sulphate mordant is effective in the change of (ΔE*) total color difference (ΔE*=24). On the lightness axis (ΔL*), the dyed sample is darker than the standard. The color of Reseda Luteola L. dyed the samples is darker than standard, more red and blue; the nuance is more, also the color is more matte. When the Color Strength (K / S) values of the samples dyed with the dyestuffs obtained from Rubia Tinctorum and Reseda Luteola L plants were compared; in both dyestuffs, the highest Color Strength Value (K / S) was obtained in samples dyed after mordant process with copper sulphate (Rubia Tinctorum: K / S= 3,336; Reseda Luteola L: K / S= 10,649). The washing fastness results are lower than the staining fastness for all performed dyeing process. Both the color change in washing and staining rates are between the values accepted by the industry. Likewise, the dry rubbing fastness and wet rub fastness of all dyeing are similar. Light fastness values of samples dyed with natural dye obtained from Rubia Tinctorum plant are higher than samples dyed with Reseda Luteola L.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS; grayscale US, color Doppler US, strain elastography, and contrast-enhanced US) in the assessment of testicular lesions with negative tumoral markers. MpUS imaging data, patient age, serum tumor markers, scrotal pain, cryptorchidism, and related clinical information were retrospectively collected for patients who underwent mpUS examination between January 2013 and December 2019. Histologic results or follow-up examinations were used as the reference standard. In total, 83 lesions from 79 patients were included in the analysis. Fifty-six patients were finally diagnosed with benign tumors, and 23 patients were ultimately diagnosed with malignant tumors. Chi-square tests or Fisher’s exact tests were used to assess the difference between the two groups. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lesion diameter (odds ratio [OR] = 1.072, P = 0.005), vascularization on color Doppler US (OR = 4.066, P = 0.001), and hyperenhancement during the early phase (OR = 6.465, P = 0.047) were significant independent risk factors for malignancy; however, when compared with neoplastic lesions, pain (OR = 0.136, P < 0.001), absence of vascularization on color Doppler US (OR = 1.680, P = 0.042), and nonenhancement during the late phase (OR = 3.461, P = 0.031) were strongly associated with nonneoplastic lesions. MpUS features are useful for differentiating testicular lesions with negative tumoral markers and improving the preoperative diagnosis, which may avoid inappropriate radical orchiectomy.

Published: June 2022

Background:

Occupational stress among police officers is extensive but neglected issue. It has number of negative consequences individually as well as on the department as a whole. Occupational stress is associated with physical and mental health-related issues, and are not addressed in Indian police officers with adequate importance.

Objectives

The objective of this study was to identify the occupation-related stressors faced by traffic police officers in Bengaluru.

Materials and Methods

Cross-sectional survey was conducted among police personnel in Bengaluru urban police district, Karnataka, India. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire (operational police stress questionnaire). The data obtained was coded and entered into Microsoft Excel sheet. Descriptive and inferential analysis was carried out.

Results

Six operational stressors were found to have a median value of 4 and above, which were negative comments from public, managing your social life outside of work, limitations to your social life, not enough time to spend with friends and family, feeling like you are always on the job and overtime demands. Among operational stressors, 76% (38) of the respondents marked a score of 4–7 for the stressor “Negative comments from public,” which marked higher comparatively.

Conclusion

The results point to a higher level of stress among traffic policemen, which needs attention from higher authorities. Stress management training needs to be given at regular intervals to improve their work efficacy and coping skills.

Authors: Goyal Ashish Kumar , Nimonkar Ravi , Chopra Vishal , Singh Pardal Maninder Pal
Published: June 2022

Background:

The history of substance abuse is as old as mankind itself. Easy transit of drugs across the state of Jammu and Kashmir is facilitated due to its geographical location.

Materials and Methods:

A descriptive study was carried out among individuals with substance use disorders in a de-addiction center in Northern Kashmir from August 2017 to July 2018. The study sample included all patients with substance use disorders attending the de-addiction center. Inclusion criteria: Individuals using substances attending the de-addiction center where the study was carried out were included in the study. Exclusion criteria: Individuals using substances attending the de-addiction center and not willing to participate were excluded from the study. A semi-structured pretested questionnaire was utilized as the study tool. Excel sheet and SPSS version 23 were used for data analysis. Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional ethical committee.

Results:

The mean (SD) age of patients was 29.58 years (8.8) ranging from 10 to 62 years and all were males. The commonest age of onset for substance use was between 11 and 20 years (56%). Nicotine abuse was the most common substance in our study. Peer pressure (52.8%) was the most common reason for drug dependence, followed by relief from negative symptoms on abstinence (29.6%).

Conclusion:

There is a worrying trend of the early age of initiation into substance use disorders. Since more youth are becoming engaged in substance use, it is important to evolve and apply preventive, curative, and rehabilitative strategies before it is too late.

Authors: Walter Jilvana , Tonholi Francisnara , Rodrigues Marcio Barreto
Published: June 2022

Nitroaromatic compounds have significant economic and industrial relevance in various inputs such as dyes, inks, agrochemicals, and explosives. In the manufacture of the explosive 2,4,6 trinitrotoluene (TNT), there is the formation of contaminated wastewater that is difficult to treat because it contains, among other compounds, high concentrations of 2,4 and 2,6-trinitrotoluene (DNT). In this work, the application of advanced oxidation processes of the O3/UV type was studied in sequential integration with catalytic material based on metallic iron slag (SZVI) and mineral matrix to treat an industrial effluent from the explosives industry contaminated with compounds nitroaromatics. Two types of mineral matrix composition were studied, kaolinite (Kau) and pumice powder (Pum), having been observed in the conditions of best efficiency (O3/UV-SZVI/Kau) 100% removal of both nitroaromatic compounds and residual ozone. On the other hand, photo-ozonation alone could only partially remove these components, with 38% DNT removal and 3.2 mg/L residual O3 observed, proving the importance of integration with the catalytic matrix for more effective treatment of the studied effluent.

Keywords: DNT degradation, explosives industry effluent, Scrap zero-valent iron.

Published: June 2022

Daddawa/iru, a product of African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) seeds, is widely used as food condiment by many tribes in West Africa. This study aimed to determine some of the changes which occur during the microbial fermentation of African locust bean seed. The daily changes in pH, amylase, lipase and protease secretion were monitored. Changes in amino acid concentration, mineral ion composition were also monitored; the presence of hydrocarbons and volatile flavor compounds were also determined. The pH increased throughout fermentation and was above 8.5 by 96 h fermentation. Enzyme production was highest after 48 h fermentation. The highest increase in amino acid concentration was observed after 72 h fermentation. The essential amino acids which increased after 72 h fermentation include arginine (48.8%), threonine (25.2%), valine (24.8%), and methionine (20.0%), histidine (10.3%), isoleucine (19.2%), leucine (15.9%), lysine (15.24%), phenylalanine (14.9%), and tryptophan (12.5%). A higher metal ion concentration was observed before fermentation (0 h) than during or after fermentation of the locust bean seeds. Various hydrocarbons, fatty acids, esters and alcohols were observed at different stages of the fermentation.

Published: June 2022

The use of chemicals such as calcium carbide to ripen fruits instigates toxicity; inclusion of the chemically ripened fruits in the preparation of juices may induce blood cells depletion by altering hematopoiesis via declined functionality of erythropoietin, leukopoietin, thrombopoietin, interleukin-3, prostaglandins, hematopoietic stem cells; resulting to reduction in cellular components of blood. The blood cell depletion potentials of chemically ripened banana juice were investigated in 20 male Wistar rats categorized into four; Group A (control), Group B (administered naturally ripened banana juice), Group C & D (administered juices composed of 15mg/kg and 25mg/kg of calcium carbide ripened banana) (n=5). Following the administration protocol of the banana juice for 28days, data was obtained and statistically analyzed using GraphPad prism (version 8). Chemically ripened banana juices significantly decreased erythropoietin, leukopoietin, thrombopoietin, interleukin-3, prostaglandins (PGE2), hematopoietic stem cells and cellular components of blood in a dose-dependent manner. Reduction in packed cell volume (PCV), hemoglobin concentration and increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR); which suggests indication of anemia and red blood cell inflammation were also observed. The study suggests that chronic consumption of calcium carbide ripened banana juices induces alteration of hematopoiesis which results to depletion of blood cells.

Published: June 2022

Estrous cycle is a periodic reproductive sequence of events in most female laboratory animals that are used for basic research. Several methods have been used to stage estrous cycle, these include visual method, vagina smear cytology evaluation, chemical analysis of urine and the analysis of electrical resistance. The vaginal smear cytology (VSC) evaluation method is commonly used to stage estrous cycle because it is a faster method coupled with easy execution and not as expensive as the other methods. The study of estrous cycle is primary to all investigations in reproduction and related areas. For the generation of dependable research outcome from VSC evaluation method, the technique for the collection of vagina smear and its microscopic interpretation must be done according to established standards. Many reports in literature concerning VSC evaluation method, lack comprehensive demonstrations and uniformity which lead to loss of homogeneity and hence provide study outcomes that are not authentic.  Therefore, this present investigation was designed to establish the standard value of inserted length of suction pipette during smear extraction technique when using VSC method to study estrous cycle. A total of fifteen experimental animals were recruited for this investigation. The animals were subdivided into three groups 1 to 3. The lengths of pipette inserted into the vagina canal were varied from 1mm, 2mm to 4mm in group 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The outcome from this investigation showed that the depth of suction pipette inserted during smear extraction procedure in VSC method has effect on estrous cycling. Estrous cycle was maintained with 2mm insertion length with approximate four days cycle and phases changing daily.

Published: June 2022

The success of a company depends on the employees, so the challenge for managers is to monitor their needs continuously and find ways to encourage them to work and achieve goals. By using a combination of compatible material and non-material techniques within motivation strategies, managers link long-term company goals and rewarding employees for work and achievements. The aim of this paper is to get insight into the used motivation techniques and strategic approach to motivation in companies in the Federation of BiH (FBiH). The survey was conducted in early 2019 and covered 63 companies. The most commonly used material motivation techniques are salaries, bonuses, and paid leave, and the most commonly used nonmaterial techniques are appropriate working hours, information on work results and the possibility of advancement. Almost half of the managers state that there are established rules for motivating employees in their companies, slightly more than ¼ point out that there is an established plan for motivating employees that is continuously implemented. Only a part of the surveyed companies, have a continuous, systematic way of monitoring employee motivation. Assessing motivation and taking corrective action is most often carried out by top management, two or more times a year. The results indicate that some companies in the FBiH have not yet realized that the human factor is a key factor in achieving better business results. In order for motivation to be truly effective, it must be approached in a planned and continuous manner.
More Inputs Makes Difference: Implementations of Linear Layers Using Gates with More Than Two Inputs

Published: June 2022

Lightweight cryptography ensures cryptography applications to devices with limited resources. Low-area implementations of linear layers usually play an essential role in lightweight cryptography. The previous works have provided plenty of methods to generate low-area implementations using 2-input xor gates for various linear layers. However, it is still challenging to search for smaller implementations using two or more inputs xor gates. This paper, inspired by Banik et al., proposes a novel approach to construct a quantity of lower area implementations with (n + 1)- input gates based on the given implementations with n-input gates. Based on the novel algorithm, we present the corresponding search algorithms for n = 2 and n = 3, which means that we can efficiently convert an implementation with 2-input xor gates and 3-input xor gates to lower-area implementations with 3-input xor gates and 4-input xor gates, respectively.We improve the previous implementations of linear layers for many block ciphers according to the area with these search algorithms. For example, we achieve a better implementation with 4-input xor gates for AES MixColumns, which only requires 243 GE in the STM 130 nm library, while the previous public result is 258.9 GE. Besides, we obtain better implementations for all 5500 lightweight matrices proposed by Li et al. at FSE 2019, and the area for them is decreased by about 21% on average.

FEMINISMO GORDO: epistemologias, saúde e mídia
Authors: Arruda Agnes de Sousa , Jimenez Jimenez Maria Luisa , Silva Marcelle Jacinto da
Published: June 2022

Gordofobia é um estigma cultural, estrutural e institucionalizado na contemporaneidade; preconceito sustentado por saberes que identificam corporalidades gordas como doentes, sem levar em consideração suas subjetividades, histórias, culturas. Saúde e mídia amparam o discurso da patologização do corpo gordo na construção do entendimento do que é estar saudável ou doente. No entanto, desde a década de 1970, mulheres gordas denunciam tal maneira de entender essa condição como violência, uma vez que não leva em consideração o que esse grupo pensa, conhece e experimenta. Como resistência, surge um movimento feminista gordo, que demanda como pauta central de suas reflexões e militância, a denúncia dessa violência, a revisão desses saberes que patologizam e a necessidade de despatologizar esses corpos, a fim de proporcionar dignidade e respeito a mulheres gordas invisibilizadas em sociedade. Tal processo é demonstrado no presente artigo por meio de análise crítica, pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, destrinchando os mecanismos de patologização e de depreciação cultural do corpo gordo.

Political Disinformation and Hate Speech on Facebook: the Attitude of Young Armenians Towards Modern Cyber Challenges
Authors: Melkonyan Viktorya
Published: June 2022

This research explores political disinformation and hate speech on Facebook with particular stress on the attitude of the Armenian young population after Velvet revolution in Armenia.
The empirical results find that cyber disinformation and hate speech in Armenia are mainly provoked and encouraged by two general components; political and social. In the case of political factors, the ongoing domestic political situation and foreign influence interests are highlighted. Whereas, in the case of social factors, the level of media literacy and social media’s rising role in society is emphasized.
The study also reveals that despite the unclear extent of social media’s influence on people’s political participation, engagement in different social media platforms has a significantly growing role among young people, particularly in terms of developing political knowledge, getting aware of daily political news, of following politicians’ and political institutions’ activities, of discussing ongoing developments and transformations, highlighting questions and sharing opinions.

A sore throat is pain or irritation in the throat. It is usually caused by acute pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx). Although it can also appear as a result of trauma, diphtheria or other conditions. Post (Post Operative Sore Throat) is a common complaint in patients undergoing general anaesthesia following orotracheal intubation, with reported incidence of 21-65%. POST ranks among the most frequent subjective complaint after tracheal intubation under general anaesthesia. Post operative sore throat, cough and hoarseness of voice though minor sequel, but they may cause significant post operative morbidity and patient dissatisfaction. Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological trials have been used for attenuating POST with no single proven modality in modern medicine. Keeping this in mind, a thorough study was planned to search out for an ideal Ayurvedic preparation for the management of Post Operative Sore Throat due to tracheal intubation under general anaesthesia. As Haritaki has anti-inflammatory and anti-septic properties and Madhu has anti microbial and wound healing properties, A planned study was done on “Haritaki Kashaya and Madhu as Kawala” to evaluate its importance in treating post operative sore throat caused by tracheal intubation and the results were compared with the patients receiving normal saline gargles. Total effect of drug was evaluated on the basis of signs and symptoms relieved after completion of the trial. The data obtained in clinical study before and after the trial was expressed in terms of Mean, Standard Deviation (SD±) and Standard Error (SE±). Group-II (trial group) revealed better results than Group-I (control group) over total criteria of assessment.

Formação de frutos de pessegueiro após aplicação de produtos raleantes e estimulantes de crescimento em clima tropical de altitude
Authors:   , Assunção Welberth
Published: June 2022

O pessegueiro [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] é espécie originária da China e tem por característica a produção de elevada carga de frutos por planta quando se encontra em condições ambientais favoráveis, resultando em frutos pequenos e de baixo valor comercial. Para a cultura é comum a prática do raleio com o objetivo de reduzir a carga de frutos da planta reduzindo a competição entre os mesmos e melhorando sua qualidade. Compostos raleantes e estimulantes têm sido utilizados para melhorar a qualidade de frutos, mas para pessegueiro os resultados ainda são variados, dificultando sua recomendação. O trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito de compostos raleantes e estimulantes no tamanho e qualidade do fruto do pessegueiro. O experimento foi conduzido em pomar comercial em Ervália, MG, em delineamento de blocos ao acaso (DBC) com três repetições. Foram aplicados três produtos raleantes (Promalin®️ , Maxcel®️ , Dropp®️ ) e seis produtos estimulantes (Stimulate®️ , Ácido Giberélico, Hold®️ , Mover®️ , Erger®️ e Veritas®️ ) e um tratamento sem aplicação de nenhum produto (testemunha). A aplicação dos produtos foi realizada quatorze dias após a plena floração em 01/06/2019. Foram realizadas medidas dos diâmetros equatorial (DE), sutural (DS) e polar (DP) dos pêssegos. Foram realizadas análises semanais do teor de açúcares solúveis totais e redutores. Foi feita a contagem do número de folhas dos ramos marcados aos 27, 40, 55 e 81 dias após a plena floração. Foi avaliada a carga final de frutos produzidos pelas plantas que receberam os tratamentos. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos a análise de variância e as médias ao teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade no software R. Os produtos Stimulate®️ , Maxcel®️ e Veritas®️ proporcionaram aumento de tamanho final de fruto, mas não atingindo o tamanho comercial esperado. A quantidade de folhas foi baixa, reduzindo a relação fonte x dreno. Os produtos utilizados reduziram a carga final de frutos das plantas, mas proporcionaram elevado número de frutos menores que 40 mm de diâmetro equatorial. A produção de açúcares solúveis totais e redutores não influenciaram na melhoria da qualidade dos frutos do pessegueiro. Palavras-chave: Prunus persica. Fisiologia. Relação fonte x dreno.
