Background

For people with disabilities to live a good life, it is essential that funded research in health and social care addresses their interests, meets their needs, and fills gaps in our understanding of the impact that services, systems, and policies may have on them. Decisions about research funding should be based on an understanding of the research priorities of people with disabilities, their supporters and allies, disability researchers, service providers, and policy makers working in the field.

Objective

The aim of this protocol is to describe the research design and methods of a large-scale, disability research agenda–setting exercise conducted in 2021 in Australia.

Methods

The research agenda–setting exercise involves 3 integrated phases of work. In the first phase, a previous audit of disability research in Australia is updated to understand previous research and continuing gaps in the research. Building on this, the second phase involves consultation with stakeholders—people with disabilities and their supporters and family members, the disability workforce, and people working within services and connected sectors (eg, aging, employment, education, and housing), academia, and public policy. Data for the second phase will be gathered as follows: a national web-based survey; a consultation process undertaken through the government and nongovernment sector; and targeted consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, children with disabilities and their families, people with cognitive disability, and people with complex communication needs. The third phase involves a web-based survey to develop a research agenda based on the outcomes of all phases.

Results

We have started working on 2 parts of the research prioritization exercise. Through the research-mapping exercise we identified 1241 journal articles and book chapters (referred to as research papers) and 225 publicly available reports (referred to as research reports) produced over the 2018-2020 period. Data collection for the national survey has also been completed. We received 973 fully completed responses to the survey. Analysis of these data is currently underway.

Conclusions

This multi-method research agenda–setting study will be the first to provide an indication of the areas of health and social research that people across the Australian disability community consider should be prioritized in disability research funding decisions. Project results from all phases will be made publicly available through reports, open-access journal publications, and Easy Read documents.

UNSTRUCTURED

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been poised to revolutionize the field of medicine for over thirty years. With the rapid growth in computing power and exponential growth of data, medical AI has transformed from an afterthought into an imminent possibility. These technological advancements have understandably raised concerns from healthcare trainees and professionals that AI may be taking over their duties. In this work, we discuss the multi-faceted issue of medical AI adoption specifically from the perspective of healthcare trainees and aims to temper preconceived notions regarding its impact and rapid progression.
The Size of the Informal Sector and Tax Revenue in Kenya
Authors: Murunga James , Muriithi Moses K. , Wawire Nelson W.
Published: October 2021

In Kenya very little research has been carried out on the effect of the size of the informal sector on tax performance. Failure to raise adequate tax revenue from the increasing informal sector implies the government should either resort to unpopular tax rates increases or public debt. Each of these approaches has ramification on the economy. To come with relevant policies, it is important to understand the link between size of the informal sector and tax revenue performance. This paper estimates the effect of the size of the informal sector on tax revenue performance in Kenya for the period 1970-2018. On testing for stationarity, the study establishes a mixture of I (0) and I (1) variables thus suggesting the use of Autoregressive Distributed Lag model. The finding indicates that the size of the informal sector negatively influences tax revenue in Kenya. This implies that the informal sector’s output may be increasing but little tax is generated from it. The finding also has implications for the conduct of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). To reduce the size of the informal sector, KRA should increase surveillance to identify economic activities that fall within the tax bracket and tap tax revenue from them.

Overview of Pathogens causing Nosocomial Infections in Various Wards of a Tertiary Health Care Hospital and their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern - A Prospective Surveillance Study
Authors: Saikeerthana D. , Prabha P. , Vijayashree V. , Krishna Gogula N.M.
Published: October 2021

The major problem encountered in recent days due to the advent of emerging antimicrobial resistance strains is Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). The spread of HAI is mainly through the hospital staff and the hospital settings’ inanimate surfaces. The study includes the surveillance of hospital surfaces, including wards and ICUs, by taking swabs dipped in normal saline. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (53.8%) was found to be the most common pathogen isolated, followed by Klebsiella species (18%), Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (16%), Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (6%), Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (3%). The widespread presence of bacterial sensitivity to antimicrobials and the modifications insensitivity forms the basis for designing antibacterial therapy’s practical recommendations and rational use of antimicrobials. Proper display of all Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials at appropriate places play a significant role in preventing nosocomial infections. Audiovisual aids and training to the staff play utmost importance in preventing the spread of HAIs. All these can reduce the occurrence and outbreak of nosocomial conditions. Overall, these minimize health care costs.

Authors: Cho Yun-jae , Lee Hanul , Jeong Hae In , Lee Hyun-Jin , Keum Chang-Yul , Han Aram , Ha Na-Yeon , Kim Jinsung
Published: October 2021

Purpose: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a chronic syndrome accompanied by repetitive digestive symptoms that appear in the upper gastrointestinal tract and are not caused by specific diseases. Psychological symptoms like anxiety, depression, insomnia, and somatization are frequently observed in FD. The purpose of this study was to review the effect of herbal medicine on the psychological symptoms that accompany FD.Methods: Database search (PubMed, EMBASE, KISS, Kmbase, KoreanMed, NDSL, OASIS, CNKI) was performed on February 24, 2021; a total of 1825 studies were searched. After the screening, 22 studies were included.Results: The studies were assessed by Cochrane RoB 2 and sorted into a table according to psychological symptoms. Meta-analysis was performed to estimate the effect of herbal medicine. Twenty of the twenty-two studies reported that herbal medicine was significantly more effective than the control group. Only three of the studies did not have a high risk of bias.Conclusion: Herbal medicine was significantly effective with or without Western medicine and had fewer adverse effects. Severe adverse effect was not reported. Psychological symptoms in FD affect onset and duration of FD, and some FD patients want to be treated for their anxiety before other symptoms. Reliable information about treatment for the psychological symptoms of FD is lacking. We reviewed the effect of herbal medicine treatment in this study, the results of which could be selected for primary or secondary treatment for FD.

Authors: Morales-Rojas Marco Esteban , Cohuo-Cob Sheila Mariela , Aké-Canul Didier Francisco , Trujeque-Zavala Russell Izael , Pech-Irola Marianely
Published: October 2021

Introducción: La higiene de manos es toda técnica destinada a remover, destruir o reducir la flora transitoria de la piel. Diversas organizaciones concuerdan en que es el procedimiento más costo-efectivo que puede disminuir las infecciones en pacientes hospitalizados, así como proteger al personal que se encuentra en contacto con ellos. Actualmente, ante los retos provocados por la pandemia de la COVID-19, las técnicas de enseñanza-aprendizaje optan por modalidades tecnológicas a distancia con enfoques basados en la autogestión del conocimiento y el desarrollo de habilidades propias, que puedan incidir en este hábito. Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad de una intervención digital con enfoque constructivista para aumentar el conocimiento del lavado de manos. Metodología: Estudio cuasi experimental, longitudinal y prospectivo. Se seleccionaron a 26 estudiantes de enfermería del último año de un programa educativo a través de un muestreo no probabilístico a conveniencia, con quienes se llevó a cabo una intervención virtual con enfoque constructivista. A tal efecto se utilizó el instrumento “Conocimiento sobre higiene de manos en profesionales sanitarios” (alfa de Cronbach=0.784) para la prueba de diferencia de conocimiento pre y post intervención. Resultados: Posterior a la intervención, el 100% de los sujetos reconocen las manos como prin-cipal vía de transmisión y el 73.10% identifica correctamente el tiempo necesario para llevarlo a cabo; sin embargo, no existe diferencia estadísticamente significativa del conocimiento previo. Conclusión: A través de las intervenciones constructivistas los estudiantes tienen la oportunidad de ser gestores de su propio conocimiento y adquirir conductas, hábitos y experiencias superiores a los objetivos planteados; no obstante, se debe tomar en cuenta los factores de contextualización y operatividad de las intervenciones para lograr su mayor efectividad.
The complexity of achieving UHC through PHC: how do we connect the competing narratives?
Authors: Maeda Akiko
Published: October 2021

The commentary discusses the importance of developing Universal Health
Coverage strategies through the lens of complex systems framework that
evaluates policies not only in terms of the final desired outcome but
also as an interplay of disparate views among diverse actors in the
system. This view also confers a degree of agency and autonomy on the
individual actors, whether they be patients or healthcare workers, and
necessitates the inclusion of bottom-up participatory process in the
development of UHC policies and interventions. These are consistent with
the Primary Health Care principles articulated in the 1978 Alma Ata
Declaration and will need to be integrated into the health system
development framework to achieve UHC. Ultimately, this approach would
encourage the creation of a more cooperative and adaptive policy
environment in which each actor is encouraged to collaborate and are
nudged toward a desirable outcome rather than through coercive means.
Naringin protects against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by promoting autophagic flux and lipophagy
Authors: Guan Lingling , Guo Lan , Zhang Heng , Liu Hao , Qiao Yuan , Zhou Wenling , Zhai Yuanyuan , Yan Xu , Cheng Daichuan , Men Xiuli , Peng Liang
Published: October 2021

Abstract Background and Purpose: The autophagic degradation of lipid
droplets (LDs), termed lipophagy, is the main mechanism contributing to
lipid consumption in hepatocytes. The identification of effective and
safe natural compounds that target lipophagy to eliminate excess lipids
may be a potential therapeutic strategy for non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease (NAFLD). Here, we investigated the effects of naringin on NAFLD
and the underlying mechanism. Experimental Approach: The role of
naringin was investigated in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) to induce
NAFLD, as well as in AML12 cells and primary hepatocytes stimulated by
palmitate (PA). Transcription factor EB (TFEB)-knockdown AML12 cells and
hepatocyte-specific TFEB-knockout mice were also used for the mechanism
study. In vivo and in vitro studies were conducted using transmission
electron microscopy, immunofluorescence techniques and western blot
analysis. Key Results: We found that naringin treatment effectively
relieved HFD-induced hepatic steatosis in mice and inhibited palmitate
(PA)-induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. The increased p62 and
LC3-II levels observed with excess lipid-support autophagosome
accumulation and impaired autophagic flux. Treatment with naringin
restored TFEB-mediated lysosomal biogenesis, thereby promoting the
fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes, restoring impaired autophagic
flux and further inducing lipophagy. However, the knockdown of TFEB in
hepatocytes or the hepatocyte-specific knockout of TFEB in mice
abrogated naringin-induced lipophagy, which eliminated the therapeutic
effect of naringin on hepatic steatosis. Conclusion and Implications:
These results demonstrate that TFEB-mediated lysosomal biogenesis and
subsequent lipophagy play essential roles in the ability of naringin to
mitigate hepatic steatosis and suggest that naringin is a promising drug
for treating or relieving NAFLD.

Systemic allergic reactions to vaccines are very rare. In this study we
assessed the management and outcome suspected SARS-CoV-2 vaccine
hypersensitivity. We present data of 219 individuals, who experienced
symptoms suspicious for an allergic reaction after the first (n=214) or
the second vaccination (n=5). 195 reactions occurred after the first
application of mRNA-based vaccines (157 Comirnaty®, and 38 Spikevax®)
and eighteen reactions were reported after first application of a vector
vaccine (Vaxzevria®). Of these 162 experienced immediate symptoms. Skin
symptoms occurred in 91 cases. The most frequent cutaneous symptom was
angioedema (n=45), followed by generalized urticaria (n=36) and
generalized erythema/flush (n=20). 70 patients had cardiovascular
symptoms, 45 showed respiratory symptoms and gastrointestinal symptoms
were recorded in 14 patients. The allergological assessment of 334
individuals (219 with reactions after COVID vaccination and 115 with a
history of vaccine related reactions) showed in 17% a suspicion of
sensitization against the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and/or their ingredients
defined as one positive skin test and/or BAT. The majority of the
SPT/IDT with the vaccines were negative. Of the 214 patients with
suspected allergic symptoms after the first vaccination, 67/67 patients
tolerated the re-vaccination. In this study, 334 individuals of a cohort
resembling >2000 persons presenting for an allergy workup
regarding SARS-CoV-2 vaccination only 45 were diagnosed in concordance
with the anaphylaxis definition of the Brighton collaboration with
anaphylactic immediate hypersensitivity reaction after SARS-CoV-2
vaccination. Identifiable characteristics of these patients with
suspected, but also diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 vaccine hypersensitivity were
female gender and the symptom angioedema. Overall, IgE-mediated
hypersensitivity towards SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is extremely low and not
increased in comparison to the reported hypersensitivity for other
vaccines.

Published: October 2021

Sugarcane mono-sequencing is one of the prominent systems of Uttar
Pradesh but wide variations in cane yields are the main cause of concern
across the cane producing zones. Hence, 131, 198 and 122 composite soil
samples (0-20 cm depth) were taken from cane producing Eastern zone
(EZ), Central zone (CZ) and Western zone (WZ) of Uttar Pradesh,
respectively to assess the causes of yield variations and impact of
sugarcane mono-sequencing on nutrient index (NI), microbial activity and
soil quality. Sugarcane mono-sequencing depleted soil organic carbon
(SOC), available nitrogen (Na), potassium (Ka), sulphur (Sa) and Zn as
48.9, 98.2, 39.0, 43.3 and 26.4% soil samples falls in low categories,
respectively. However, soil degradation aggregated more in EZ soils due
to acute deficiency of macro-nutrients as well as high content of Cu, Fe
and Mn in low-lying areas. Total microbial counts, microbial biomass of
C and N, basal soil respiration, acid and alkaline phosphatase were
highest in WZ, but Na, Pa, Ka, Sa, FDA, β-glucosidase and urease
activity was greater in CZ soils. As a result, NI was greater in CZ
(2.19) followed EZ (1.98) and WZ (1.97), but soil quality index (SQI)
was found in the order of CZ (0.795) >WZ (0.785)
> EZ (0.708). The sensitivity index (S) was lowest in CZ
soils (1.420) indicated that WZ (1.810) and EZ (1.915) soils are more
preferable and sensitive to perturbations and management practices. Na
was the most vital indicator for sugarcane production followed by SOC,
AZO and Sa.

Internal evaluation of risk stratification tool using procalcitonin and clinical risk factors in pediatric febrile neutropenia: the first step in a pilot quality improvement project
Authors: Nessle Charles , Braun Thomas , Choi Sung Won , Mody Rajen
Published: October 2021

Risk stratification of pediatric febrile neutropenia (FN) is an
established concept; the internal evaluation of a validated clinical
decision rules (CDR) tool has not been well-described. In this study,
restrictive criteria and procalcitonin were added to a recommended CDR
for internal evaluation before implementation. Analysis of 577 FN
episodes showed good sensitivity and negative predictive value in
predicting blood stream infections (87.3%; 95.6%) and intensive care
admissions (97.2%; 99.1%). There were no severe adverse events in
low-risk patients with low procalcitonin; procalcitonin identified 3
low-risk patients with serious bacterial infections. The modified CDR
with procalcitonin may assist in risk stratification.
Ecological compensation in China: Achievement, Experience and Improvement
Authors: liu jiangyi , dou shiquan
Published: October 2021

Payments for ecosystem services (PES) provide innovative solutions for
global environmental governance. China, the largest developing country,
always faces serious ecological and environmental problems. China
created an Ecological compensation mechanism which combines the PES
mechanism with the government’s standardized management, which has
achieved remarkable results. Government-led, social participation, and
market-oriented operation are its main characteristics. More
importantly, the mechanism helps China achieve its anti-poverty goals.
Part of its experiences have been transformed into formal institutions,
i.e., Grain-for-Green plan. However, some problems have also plagued
further development of it, such as the lack of environmental property
rights, the single source of funds and the shortage of standardized
ecological value assessment technology. We suggest that it is necessary
to further improve the stability of China’s Eco-compensation mechanism.
The achievement of China’s Eco-compensation mechanism provides useful
guidance for other developing countries. For example, improving the role
of government administrative power, and the flexibility of the system
through the policy “sandbox” i.e., the policy pilot, encouraging the
participation of multi-stakeholder groups, and so on. Last but most
important, the policy and institutions must be closely integrated with
the state of the nation for it to be sustainable.
A numerical algorithm based on modified orthogonal linear spline for solving a coupled nonlinear inverse reaction-diffusion problem
Authors: Alavi Javad , Aminikhah Hossein
Published: October 2021

In this paper, a modified orthogonal linear spline (OL-spline) is used for
the numerical solution of a coupled nonlinear inverse reaction-diffusion
problem to determine the unknown boundary conditions. The convergence
properties of the new linear combination are obtained. A quasi-linearization
technique is utilized to linearize the nonlinear term in the equations. This
process produces a linear system of equations which can be solved easily.
Using the new inequalities, error estimation and convergence of the proposed
method are investigated. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the
computational efficiency of the method and also the experimental convergence
rate of examples are obtained.
Perturbation of the spectra of complex symmetric operators

Published: October 2021

An operator T on a complex Hilbert space H is called complex symmetric if T
has a symmetric matrix representation relative to some orthonormal basis for
H. This paper focuses on the perturbation theory for the spectra of complex
symmetric operators. We prove that each complex symmetric operator on a
complex separable Hilbert space has a small compact perturbation being
complex symmetric and having the single-valued extension property. Also it
is proved that each complex symmetric operator on a complex separable
Hilbert space has a small compact perturbation being complex symmetric and
satisfying generalized Weyl?s theorem.
General viscosity implicit midpoint rule for nonexpansive mapping
Authors: Rizvi Shuja
Published: October 2021

In this work, we suggest a general viscosity implicit midpoint rule for
nonexpansive mapping in the framework of Hilbert space. Further, under the
certain conditions imposed on the sequence of parameters, strong convergence
theorem is proved by the sequence generated by the proposed iterative
scheme, which, in addition, is the unique solution of the variational
inequality problem. Furthermore, we provide some applications to variational
inequalities, Fredholm integral equations, and nonlinear evolution equations
and give a numerical example to justify the main result. The results
presented in this work may be treated as an improvement, extension and
refinement of some corresponding ones in the literature.
Trend of Diabetes-Related Hospital Admissions During the Transition Period From Adolescence to Adulthood in the State of California
Authors: Nip Angel Siu Ying , Lodish Maya
Published: October 2021

Objectives: This study examined the incidence of
diabetes-related hospital admissions and described the characteristics among youth
and emerging adults with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in California.

Research Design and methods: A retrospective study
using the statewide inpatient database during the years 2014 to 2018.
Individuals aged 13-24 years hospitalized with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), or
severe hypoglycemia (SH), were recorded. Demographic characteristics and health
measures among youth (ages 13-18) and young adults (ages 19-24) were compared.

Results: A total of 34,749 and 3,304 admission
encounters for T1D and T2D were analyzed. Hospitalization rates significantly
increased with age during the transition to adulthood, from 70/100,000 CA
population at age 17 to 132/100,000 at age 19 in T1D. Higher hospitalization
rates were demonstrated in young adults than youth in T1D, and rate was
significantly higher in Black young adults (23.9%) than youth (12.0%) among
age-adjusted population with diabetes (p <.0001). More young adults admitted
were on public insurance, and approximately half were from the lowest income
quartile. No difference was observed in length of hospital stay, however, hospital
charges were higher among young adults. Young adults were 3 times more likely to
be admitted for severe conditions.

Conclusions: We demonstrated a significant rise in hospital
admission during transition period in individuals with T1D. There were
significantly more Black young adults who were on public insurance and had lower
socioeconomic status. Our findings suggest that the healthcare system fails
many emerging adults with diabetes, particularly for people of color, and
improving medical transition is crucial.

La problemática abordada es el bajo rendimiento académico de los aprendices en las competencias básicas y transversales como: Ética, Salud Ocupacional, TIC, en relación con la competencia técnica. El objetivo es el de analizar la integralidad de la for­mación en la Etapa Lectiva, desde los lineamientos institucionales en el marco de la Formación Profesional Integral (FPI) del SENA, y la puesta en marcha de los mismos, específicamente en el Aprender a Ser, cimiento de las competencias básicas. Se asumió investigación social y educativa desde un enfoque cualitativo y cuantitativo. Se utilizaron las siguientes fuentes de información: El Observador de aprendiz, Actas de Comité de etapa Lectiva, Matriz de análi­sis del programa de formación y una (1) encuesta a instructores. La Investigación permitió identificar el papel trascendental que cumple el instructor como promotor y mediador en el proceso de formación, igualmente que la ausencia de las dimensiones relacionadas con el Ser, fragmentan la FPI, según el Modelo pedagógico de la formación profesional integral del SENA, MPFPI (2012). Así mismo, entre los principales componentes del Aprender a Ser se encuentran: actitud ética, capacidad para tomar decisiones, para asumir actitudes de liderazgo, para traba­jar en equipo, para establecer acuerdos, para comunicarse, entre otros. En correspondencia, el Aprender a Ser se constituye como uno de los principales objetivos de FPI.
Design thinking en la formación
Authors: Cerón Rosero Ada Lorena
Published: October 2021

El presente artículo trata de la metodología Design Thinking (Pensamiento de diseño), enfo­cada en el ámbito educativo. Se presenta su origen, etapas y el vínculo con los diferentes tipos de inteligencia propuestos por Gardner. En la aplicación de la metodología se indica cómo se fortalecen las inteligencias múltiples en actividades como: observar, crear, actuar, encontrar y proponer soluciones a la situación identificada como necesidad, desafío o reto. Se parte de la interacción y empatía con las personas (es por eso que se conoce como metodología centrada en las personas). De igual manera, se fortalece la inteligencia emocional, la benevolencia, em­patía, optimismo y la confianza creativa. Finalmente, se presenta el contexto de la metodología en el ámbito educativo y cómo puede ser implementado en el proceso de formación profesional en el SENA, con el fin de contribuir con las prácticas pedagógicas, y cómo captar a los aprendices partiendo de su motivación, pertinen­cia y creatividad. Se reconoce el trabajo colaborativo como clave para generar conocimiento, generando afinidad, comprensión y resolución de conflictos, un aspecto reconocido en el libro 101 claves para la innovación; como leemos en la clave 55: “Aprender, imaginar y hacer juntos genera una cultura con base en la discusión, el respeto y el enriquecimiento mutuo por medio de perspectivas diferentes. Es la denominada polinización cruzada, la formación de un tejido de experiencias y competencias” (2016, p. 41).

Se estudió y analizó el efecto de la generación de espacios de reflexión en la enseñanza de las Ciencias Naturales y la Educación Ambiental para promover el cuidado de sí, del otro y de lo otro en la comunidad educativa de la I.E. Jorge Eliecer Gaitán Ayala, Bello, Antioquia. El diseño de la investigación se fundamentó en la investigación-acción mediante una caracterización del grupo de trabajo, reconocimiento de sus percepciones en torno al cuidado de sí, del otro y de lo otro, como eje articulador de la conciencia ecológica, y el diseño, implementación y valo- ración de una estrategia pedagógica para promover cambios actitudinales de los participantes en torno al cuidado del ambiente. El proyecto utilizó la observación no participante mediante el empleo de una ficha de observación, la entrevista semiestructurada y grupo focal. Para la revisión documental se empleó una matriz de doble entrada y el análisis de contenido. Las ob- servaciones y la información acopiada se analizaron en su contenido y relación con el objeto de estudio. Las observaciones se analizan a la luz de una revisión documental del tema en estudio. Los resultados señalan que la integración de espacios de reflexión permite una conciencia y apropiación en el desarrollo de la vida cotidiana de los participantes, migrando desde el do- minio conceptual o teórico hasta acciones concretas de cuidado y responsabilidad ambiental.

Las Remesas además de haberse convertido en un rubro importante dentro de la economía de los países ya que contribuyen a reducir los niveles de pobreza siempre y cuando su uso se canalice a una forma productiva. Este trabajo busca analizar el nivel de dependencia económica de los miembros de la comunidad Unisucreña desde las remesas, a través de la caracterización de éstas como herramienta de inclusión financiera, para lo cual se tomaron datos recolectados mediante encuestas aplicadas a la comunidad Unisucreña, complementado con los diferentes informes presentados por las entidades financieras y los aportes realizados por referentes teóricos acerca de este tema. Como resultado que es a pesar de ser baja la población de la comunidad que recibe remesas, se encuentra que de éste, el 57% las utiliza para suplir las necesidades primarias del hogar. Se debe propender, a que el uso de las remesas sea más productivos de tal forma que permita generar más renta en los hogares beneficiarios.

Comparison of factor of safety using different method of analysis for slope stability
Authors: Ismail Norfarah Nadia , Ramli Ahmad Bukhari , Mohd Pami Siti Noorliyana
Published: October 2021

Currently, the construction of slope is increasing, thus, the risk of slope to fail also increase. The series of landslide happen to the man-made slope has been recorded since in the early of 1993 until now. Many efforts such as treating the critical slope, redesigned the failed slope, and analyze the stability of the slope have been done. However, the landslide is still happening in Malaysia. The factor of safety (FOS) from the stability analysis that has been used might not be adequate to determine the safety of the slope in Malaysia. Therefore, in this study, the optimum factor of safety is obtained by using three methods of slice, Bishop’s Simplified method, Spencer method, and Morgenstern-Price method which have been used in many projects. A study place is selected in Ladang Balau, Semenyih, in Selangor and from the CIU test, the important soil parameter for slope is extracted for analysis of slope stability using SLOPE/W and manual calculation. The lambda for Spencer method and Morgenstern-Price method was generated for further discussion on the relationship between lambda and factor of safety. The data generated from both calculation method, from manual and software, were discussed and next the ideal method to achieve the optimum factor of safety determined. The factor of safety for every method basically are influenced by the interslice shear force presence but not Bishop’s Simplified method as moment equilibrium is insensitive towards interslice force function. For lambda, the factor that influenced the value is the function used; constant and half-sine function, however, for Bishop’s Simplified method, the lambda is equal to zero as the method ignored the interslice shear force. The Morgenstern-Price method has been chosen to be the best method to generate a good factor of safety.

The proper amount of braking force on both wheels is needed to optimize the braking performance and stability of the motorcycle. The braking effectiveness can be maximized by keeping the ideal nonlinear brake force distribution during braking. Thus the purpose of this research is to present a mechanism that can be accommodated as a Concurrent Brake Actuator (CBA) design to control the ideal nonlinear brake force distribution. In this paper, the conceptual design of the CBA mechanism is developed to be used as a based design for CBA development. Thus, two conceptual designs of the CBA mechanism have been generated. The proposed concept designs were evaluated based on Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) and SOLIDWORKS Motion Analysis. The potential failure of the CBA concept design was determined based on the risk priority number (RPN) in DFMEA. The information obtained from DFMEA was used in SOLIDWORKS Motion Analysis to identify stress performance analysis for each CBA conceptual design. Then, the best CBA concept design will be selected. The selection was made based on the highest score gained by the CBA concept design in qualitative evaluation. Based on the results, the fixed main body design with a tilted position linear slope in CBA Design I is potentially to actuate and distribute the nonlinear brake force to the front and rear brake with less potential of failure. Therefore, the proposed mechanism design will be used as a based mechanism design for CBA development.

This research focuses on the capabilities of coldArc GMAW in the behavior of heat input to the weld bead dimension. In this study, the effect of process GMAW of 308L stainless steel filler wire with a thickness of 1.2 mm and 304L stainless steel base plate, with a dimension of 120 mm x 25 mm x 10 mm (height x width x thickness) by applying WAAM. The data was collected using MATLAB of a Smart Weld Rosenthal’s Steady-State 3D Isotherms. A Taguchi response was used in the DOE method with Minitab software to analyze the effect of process parameters on height, width, and depth of weld bead dimension during GMAW. The experiments were conducted following the low, mid, and high input parameters will show the different structures of weld bead dimension, which include 70 A, 75 A, and 78 A (arc current), 15 V, 16 V, and 17 V (voltage), 400 mm/min, 600 mm/min, and 800 mm/min (welding speed). Hence, the optimum value is 75 A, 16 V, and 800 mm/min, and the most significant parameters to deposit stainless steel with coldArc GMAW were welding speed followed by arc current and voltage.
Comunicar la salud desde una perspectiva feminista e intercultural
Authors: Cabral Ximena , Mendizábal Victoria E.
Published: October 2021

En este artículo nos proponemos visibilizar las tramas de comunicación en salud que persisten atadas a un modelo biomédico hegemónico y cuya pretensión de universalidad dificulta la creación y manifestación de concepciones de salud de una manera integral y situada. A partir de un abordaje reflexivo, intentaremos contribuir con propuestas divergentes de los enfoques vinculados a la divulgación de contenidos científicos y técnicos como una mera operación de “traducción”, para repensar las posibilidades de articular una comunicación sensible a la trama socio-cultural, a las propias biografías y al “cuerpo vivido”. Finalmente, analizaremos cómo el abordaje de las prácticas de comunicación en salud y la producción de contenidos desde una perspectiva feminista e intercultural permite ir construyendo otras tramas posibles y vitales para pensar la comunicación en salud.
