Parametric study on structural behaviour of RCC box culvert
Authors: Salman Biradar , Shreedhar R. , Shradha Hiremath
Published: September 2024

Culverts are essential under earth embankments to allow watercourses, such as streams and nallas, to pass through without obstructing the natural flow. They help manage floodwaters on both sides of the embankment, reducing water levels and mitigating flood risks. Culverts come in various shapes, including arch, slab, and box configurations, and can be constructed from materials such as masonry or reinforced concrete. Culverts, embedded within earth embankments, are subjected to traffic loads similar to those on the road and must be designed to accommodate these loads. This paper focuses on the structural design and parametric analysis of RCC box culverts, both with and without cushion. Design parameters such as size, invert level, and layout are determined based on hydraulic considerations and site conditions, with the cushion depending on the road profile at the culvert location. The study examines various load cases (e.g., empty box, full box, surcharge loads) and factors such as effective width, braking force, load dispersion through fill, impact factor, and earth pressure coefficient as per IRC codes. It provides a comprehensive discussion on code provisions, design considerations, and justifications for the structural design of RCC box culverts, ensuring they can withstand maximum bending moments and shear forces.

advent of double-entry bookkeepıng and accountıng reforms ın the Ottoman Empıre ın the 19th Century
Authors: Güney Cengiz , Güvemli Batuhan
Published: September 2024

There was a significant shift in the accounting methodology of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, transitioning from traditional state accounting methods to Western double-entry bookkeeping (DEB). This paper focuses on the 1884 General Accounting Directive of the Sanitary (Health) Organization to examine the interplay of internal reforms and external influences that drove this transition. The introduction of DEB, a leap towards modernization, encountered challenges, including the need for extensive training for accountants accustomed to traditional methods and the integration of Western practices within the Ottoman administrative framework. Using the metaphor of legal transplants, the paper argues that the Empire’s adoption of these accounting changes. This research contributes to understanding the interaction between local traditions and foreign influences in shaping accounting practices.
Erosão democrática e militarização nos países ibero-americanos na última década
Authors: Cardoso Paulo Roberto , De Oliveira Alice Castelani , E Santos Gustavo Lima
Published: September 2024

O artigo analisa o enfraquecimento dos regimes democráticos nos países ibero-americanos na última década, em um contexto de retorno do protagonismo político de figuras militares na região. Desse modo, foi discutida a relação entre erosão democrática e militarização de quatro casos destacados, a saber Brasil, Chile, Uruguai e Equador, a partir da análise comparada do volume orçamentário destinado ao setor de defesa no período de 2012 a 2022. Os resultados mostram que o orçamento militar segue uma tendência de queda em todos países examinados, interrompida pontualmente em cenários de crises sociais. Isso reforça o que a literatura aponta em relação ao perfil multifuncional e a noção de um processo em curso de policialização das forças armadas na região. Em nossa análise, isso tem duas principais consequências: eleva a população ao status de inimigo interno, com efeitos negativos para a democracia em termos de restrição de liberdades civis e violação de direitos fundamentais; e enfraquecido das forças armadas, com consequências para capacidade de garantir a segurança das fronteiras nacionais.
O soldado-cidadão e o intervencionismo moderador na Primeira República: passado-presente
Authors: Aliaga Luciana
Published: September 2024

Pretendemos analisar os discursos e as ações intervencionistas que resultaram das interações complexas entre a corporação militar e os grupos dominantes civis no período da Primeira República no Brasil. O recorte abarca o contexto de produção e circulação das ideias de “soldado-cidadão” e de “intervenção moderadora”. Propomos a hipótese segundo a qual a concepção de intervenção militar, como parte do acervo de experiências históricas no Brasil, remete ao mesmo tempo à memória de eventos passados e às interpretações do presente. Como um “passado-presente”, ela une, no âmbito da interpretação e da linguagem, eventos que podem ter sido concretamente diversos, mas que compartilham semânticas consolidadas no senso comum e na cultura política
Hybrid governance and Violent Non-State Actors: examining the case of Brazil and Colombia.
Authors: Cabrera Nossa Irene , Alecio Suarez Marcial , Pimenta Marilia
Published: September 2024

The article discusses the characteristics of local organized crime governance linked to illicit markets in different areas of Brazil and Colombia. To this end, it explores how violent armed actors linked mainly to drug trafficking and gold mining in different zones of the Amazon borders have established systems of governance that translate into different forms of violence. This can be called hybrid governance. Accordingly, this research proposes that such governance is not only expressed in recent patterns of coexistence and/or competition agreements among illegal groups but is additionally associated with the role played by the state both as the actor who has the power of law enforcement and on the other hand, as the actor who offers protection rackets to organized crime.
Expansão temporal do militarismo: captura do futuro no engajamento militar doméstico no Brasil
Authors: Janot Mariana da Gama , Succi Junior David , Alves Soares Samuel
Published: September 2024

A atuação das forças armadas no interior das fronteiras do Estado é um fenômeno central no debate sobre a relação da instituição militar com o Estado e a sociedade no Brasil. No presente artigo, argumentamos que a atuação doméstica das forças armadas brasileiras é perpassada por dinâmicas de produção de imagens de futuro, que se estabelecem em duas temporalidades. A primeira, de longo prazo, está vinculada a uma noção de desenvolvimento definido e guiado pelo instrumento militar. Deste modo, define o futuro ao qual se deve chegar, limitando outras possibilidades e visões alternativas, em uma lógica de predição. A segunda, de curto prazo, está expressa em práticas de antecipação que permeiam as operações domésticas, como operações de Garantia da Lei e da Ordem e ações cívico-sociais. Esta, por sua vez, representa modos de operacionalização da produção da ordem interna, vislumbrada na imagem de longo prazo. Assim, argumentamos que uma das dimensões do militarismo no Brasil também é sua expansão temporal.
O projeto indigenista de Rondon como manifestação do “dispositivo pacificação” no Brasil
Authors: Morato Maciel Tadeu , Moreira de Souza Rodrigues Thiago
Published: September 2024

O artigo introduz a noção de “dispositivo pacificação” como instrumento analítico para compreender a intervenção contínua das Forças Armadas brasileiras em questões domésticas, utilizando a política indigenista do Marechal Rondon como estudo de caso. Utilizando a genealogia mobilizada por Michel Foucault como método e o conceito de "poder tutelar" como referência teórica, propõe-se uma análise sobre a trajetória de Cândido Rondon como militar brasileiro no início do século XX, destacando como suas estratégias de “assimilação” e trato “harmonioso” da população indígena podem ser vistas como uma prática de tutelagem essencial para a consecução de uma “missão civilizatória” que permitiria um esforço de integração socioeconômica da Nação. Além disso, é demonstrado como a imagem, baseada em Rondon, do militar brasileiro como “agente conciliador” é propagada em pacificações na contemporaneidade. Argumenta-se que a noção de pacificação é um elemento-chave que impulsiona, ao longo da história brasileira, a tradição intervencionista das Forças Armadas, que se manifesta por meio da combinação contínua de guerra interna e assistencialismo seletivamente aplicados a segmentos específicos da população.

India is a growing nation, and at the moment, its economy is mostly dependent on agricultureand the building industry. A nation's infrastructure must be developed if its industries and overall economyare to expand. Analysis of the infrastructure sector's development bottleneck is essential given the future'spredicted increased urbanisation. In order to meet the needs of the client, work or construction must becompleted in the 21st century in the shortest amount of time feasible while maintaining high quality. Precastconcrete and construction are crucial for quick building because they meet the needs of the clientfor high quality work in a short amount of time. Precast concrete construction (PCC) technique is onlyused in infrastructure projects including bridges, monorails, and metro systems. etc.. Metro projectsare large-scale public initiatives, thus their prompt completion is crucial from both an economic andconvenience perspective. Elevated lines are the preferred option for metro corridors due to costeconomics from a land availability perspective, these corridors are often constructed along the mainmetropolitan roadways. Traffic flow inside the construction zone is restricted due to Metro construction,making the selection of an appropriate construction approach more relevant and crucial under thesecircumstances. In-situ construction necessitates extensive lengths of traffic detours or restrictionsbecause metro projects are often linear in form. Cast-in-situ process adds to public annoyance since itneeds more time and space. Additionally, cast-in-situ technology is not a favoured choice in terms of theenvironment. As a result, using precast materials as much as possible in elevated metro projects incities becomes the obvious choice. This paper focuses on importance of Precast Technology InInfrastructure Projects in metro city.

Landslide is a natural disaster that occurs when rock, earth, or debris flows to downwardslope due to gravity after being detached from slope underneath. It is essential to know the geotechnicalproperties to analyse the causes of landslide. For the present study geotechnical investigation has beencarried out on the slopes of Lonavala and Tamini Hill, Maharashtra . Results obtain from laboratory testand field investigation revealed that the underlying causes of the landslide could be (a) the geologicalformation of those hills (b) permeability through the different layers of soil (c) shear strength of the soil(d) cutting of hills slope for reconstruction and widening of the road. Landslide triggered due to heavyprecipitation during the monsoon season. In north eastern area of India is mainly hilly that’s why recentdevelopment is going on here. Due to this reasons road construction is going on here. As the wholerange is composed of siltstone and mudstone mainly loosely deposited soil they are cutting the hillsvertically which unstable the slope. After the thorough investigation we have seen that mainly shallowlandslide happen on those two hills.

Authors: Dr. Pramod Das
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to examine and compare the speed and agility levels between athletes participating in Native and Non- Native sports. Forty male athletes were selected, comprising twenty Native Kho-Kho players and twenty Non- Native Hockey players, all of whom competed at various levels, including subdivision, district, and state competitions. The participants, aged between 14 and 16 years, were exclusively male. The analysis revealed differences in the average motor performance between the two groups. Specifically, Non- Native players exhibited lower levels of speed and agility compared to their Native counterparts. A t-test was conducted to statistically compare the motor performance between Native and Non- Native athletes, revealing no significant differences in speed (p = 0.77) or agility (p = 1.23) between the groups. Consequently, the study concluded that there were no statistically significant differences in motor performance variables between Native and Non- Native players. These findings highlight the need for future research to develop strategies to enhance motor performance in athletes from these specific populations.

Authors: Rai Smriti , Chauhan Deepak Kumar , Kumawat Dharmendra Kumar
Published: September 2024

The research paper examines the complex legal issue of determining the status of autonomous vehicles (AVs) as an independent legal entity or an agent of the manufacturer. The paper delves into the concept of legal personhood and its application to artificial intelligence (AI) systems, including AVs. It explores various theories of legal personhood, such as the Natural Law Theory, Will Theory, and Function-based Theories, and their relevance to the classification of AVs. The paper also discusses the theory of agency law and its potential implications for the relationship between AVs and their manufacturers or developers. The paper analyzes the current Indian legal framework, including the Motor Vehicles Act and the Consumer Protection Act, and their limitations in addressing the legal issues posed by AVs. It highlights the ambiguity in liability determination, particularly in the case of partially automated vehicles, where the role of the human driver and the AV's decision-making process must be carefully considered. The paper proposes a hybrid approach to the legal status of AVs, combining elements of both independent legal personhood and agency of the manufacturer. The paper emphasizes the need for comprehensive and adaptable legislation to address the evolving landscape of autonomous vehicle technology and ensure the safety and accountability of these systems. It acknowledges the complex and rapidly changing nature of automated vehicle technology and calls for further research and discussion to develop a robust legal framework that can effectively govern the integration of AVs into India's transportation ecosystem.

Open-ended questions were analyzed using summative content analysis.

Results

We analyzed data from 832 participants (6.8% response rate) from Ontario (17.8%), Québec (15.7%), and Alberta (13.3%), and across other provinces. Nearly 40% had completed an undergraduate degree beyond their respiratory therapy diploma. Few participants had authored or co-authored peer-reviewed publications. RTs reported reading approximately 2.2 peer-reviewed publications monthly. Most participants agreed on the importance of critical reflection in practice (93.1%) and that having a supportive work environment was vital. Almost three-quarters of participants (73.4%) reported that they believe that RTs are valued members of interprofessional teams, and 78% agreed that understanding research enables them to engage in patient advocacy.

Conclusion

This survey provides a portrait of the practice and scholarly profile of the respiratory therapy profession in Canada. While the profession shows potential for growth, concerns persist regarding limited engagement in activities related to scholarly practice. Addressing these challenges and nurturing a culture of scholarly practice are likely necessary to support the development of scholarly practice in the profession. Creating supportive environments, providing access to resources, and encouraging professional development activities may advance the scholarly practice of RTs. Future national surveys could employ random sampling strategies to achieve a more representative sample of the profession.

Objective: This research work has been aimed to reveal genetic diversity in morphological traits. It is also important for genotype selection for breeding purpose, even in evaluation and conservation of their diverse gene pool. Method: Genetic variation was evaluated in Eighty-two chilli (Capsicum spp.) genotypes for fifteen morphological traits through descriptive statistics, PCA, and cluster analysis. 3.1. Mapping of locations and germplasm distribution using DIVA-GIS computer program. Result: DIVA-GIS computer program has localized accessions into 10 districts (administrative units). The descriptive statistics revealed substantial variations in the traits yield plant-1, number of fruit plant-1, individual fruit weight, days to 50% flowering, days to 50% fruiting, fruit width, and 1000 seed weight. Multivariate analysis grouped the collection into 5 clusters. Inter-cluster distance between clusters III and IV was found to be maximum followed by between clusters I- III and III -V. Cluster III possessed genotypes having maximum yield, earliness, and dwarf plant stature. Conclusion: Considering group distance, mean performance, and variability the inter-genotypic crosses between Cluster III and Cluster IV, Cluster I and Cluster III, and Cluster III cluster V may be suggested to use for future hybridization programs.

Effective Vegetable marketing are remarkable for contributing to economic growth, development, poverty reduction and the wellbeing of the agricultural actors. This study aimed at assessing the effect of vegetable marketing on smallholder farmers’ wellbeing in Tanzania. Specifically, the study examined the influence of vegetable marketing on smallholders’ farmers wellbeing performance, examined the effect of Contractual farming on smallholders’ wellbeing performance and determined the effect of Vegetable marketing survey and marketing knowledge on vegetable farming towards smallholders’ farmers wellbeing performance. The study employed a cross-sectional research design on 200 agribusiness smallholder farmers. Data collection methods included survey, key informants’ interview (KIIs) and focus group discussions. The study collected and analysed both qualitative and quantitative data from primary and secondary sources. Quantitative data were analyzed using a multiple regression model while the qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that vegetable marketing and wellbeing performance were slightly positive with a more variables indicating absence of relationship whereby, vegetable products marketing has a narrow relationship with smallholders’ farmers' wellbeing since contract farming show a positive significant relationship but vegetable marketing and marketing knowledge have no relationship. Therefore, vegetable product marketing has a slight influence on smallholder farmers’ wellbeing performance in the study area. The study concludes that vegetable marketing studied components negatively influencing wellbeing performance by increasing the ability of the smallholders’ farmers to have good wellbeing performance. The study recommends to the Moshi District Council must establish competition among traders to prevent farmers being locked into unequal relationships with particular traders. Farmers through the ministry of agriculture should be provided with marketing information and extension services so to improve production and their wellbeing.

Disaster risk reduction through early warning systems
Authors: A. Clarkson Otuogha
Published: September 2024

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is critical to safeguarding the safety and well-being of communities in coastal regions and communities. An early warning system (EWS) is crucial for mitigating catastrophic risks associated with flooding because an effective EWS can allow communities to take the required steps to reduce the impacts of an impending hazard. It can therefore be implied that one of the reasons for the devastating effects of flooding in coastal communities, may be associated with the lack of EWS as witnessed in the October 2022 flooding in Nigeria. This paper advocates for more effective EWS and better technology integration into emergency operations in Nigeria's emergency services to minimise the impacts of flood risk amidst the cascading effects of climate emergency. A combination of primary and secondary research methodologies was employed to conduct the study. This paper used the constructivist philosophical perspective to explain the snowball sampling method utilised for the research. The method also involves distributing open-ended questionnaires to Nigerian individuals in flood-prone regions, to obtain accurate information on flood occurrences. The selection criteria required individuals to have resided in Nigeria for at least five years. The survey involved 45 participants aged 20-60, with a majority being corporate workers (69.2%). Drawing from secondary data on the October 2022 flooding in Nigeria, and collated primary data, the result displayed a lack of effective Early Warning System (EWS)and limited response capabilities especially in coastal towns and cities. The findings from this evaluative process indicate the need to drastically improve EWS and capabilities for response in coastal communities in Nigeria. This paper recommends incorporating disaster risk reduction (DRR) into development planning and policy to ensure the long-term viability of disaster risk reduction efforts. Beyond the policy implication of this paper, the impact on practice includes reviewing existing structural and non-structural measures to incorporate applicable and more effective EWS for coastal communities, and technology into regional emergency operations centres in the country.
