Published: December 2021

The goal of the present work consists in usage of biochemical methods complex, which allow estimating the peculiarities of pregnancy current of women with OPG-gestosis, complicated by artificial abortion in their anamnesis. There were studied 45 pregnant women in the age 21-36 years with OPG-gestosis (20-firstpregnant - the 1-st group) and 25 - repeatedly-pregnant women, who had from 1 to 5 artificial abortions in their anamnesis (the 2-nd group) and 17 women with physiological pregnancy (control group). The intensity of lipid peroxidation was measured by level of a final product - malonic dialdehyde (MDA). Its concentration in erythrocytes and plasma was the highest (25 % and 34% accordingly) at 2-nd groupin comparison with control group. In addition, there were lipid the activity reduction of antioxidative system basic component - erytrocytes superoxidedysmutase (SOD) 11,8 - 12,74 % at all women with OPG- gestosis. Identical changes were observed relative to methemoglobin level and ammonium concentration in all women with OPG-gestosis (there were rise in 271-296 % and 35% accordingly, in comparison with control group). The rise of endogenous intoxication level correlated with decrease ones in plasma. Concentration of middle and low molecular mass of compounds in erythrocytes was higher in 14 and 9%, and was 13 and 6% lower in plasma accordingly in 1- st and 2-nd groups, in comparison with control. Analysis of data leads to a conclusion that pregnant woman with OPG-gestosis, complicated by artificial abortion in their anamnesis, and had more considerable changes of lipid peroxidation and endogenous intoxication level.
A SOBREVIVÊNCIA DAS IMAGENS NO ROMANCE A HORA DA ESTRELA, DE CLARICE LISPECTOR

Published: December 2021

Esse artigo discute o estatuto das imagens que são produzidas pelos humores líquidos do corpo de Macabéia, em A Hora da Estrela (1998), desregulando e desterritorializandoem filigranas as imagens capazes de sobreviver ao tempo, com destaque para a figura da ninfa, ao mesmo tempo representação da santa cristã ou das deusas pagãs em diversas culturas. Walter Benjamin (2011) denominou essas imagens como aquilo que resta e que é capaz de causar um rasgo ou uma fratura no tempo real, tratar-se-ia, portanto, de sobrevivência no tempo histórico. Como aporte teórico serão utilizadas, sobretudo, as análises de Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Jacques Derrida, Giorgio Agamben, AbyWarburg e Georges Didi-huberman, especialmente no que diz respeito ao papel da musa como condição sintomática do discurso que Macabéia exerce sobre o mundo patriarcal e racional, além de se efetivar como um diálogo onde Clarice Lispector busca refletir sobre o papel da arte a partir de uma perspectiva filosófica peculiar. Julga-se importante entender de que maneira Macabéia se configura como uma ninfa, especialmente no que diz respeito à importância das imagens carregadas de temporalidades dispersas e dotadas de características únicas, geralmente icônicas que ela desregula com seu discurso descentralizador.
New report of fossil crabs (Decapoda, Brachyura) from the late Eocene of San Feliciano Hill (Orgiano, Monti Berici, Vicenza, NE Italy)
Authors: De Angeli Antonio , Garassino Alessandro
Published: December 2021

The rich decapod assemblage from the late Eocene of San Feliciano hill (Orgiano, Monti Berici, Vicenza, NE Italy) was partially recorded by De Angeli and Garassino (2002, 2014). Herein, two new crabs, Bericirinia bretoni n. gen., n. sp. (Epialtidae MacLeay, 1838) and Orgianocarcinus bericus n. gen., n. sp. (Dairidae Ng and Rodriguez, 1986) are reported from San Feliciano Hill, located in Monti Berici, Orgiano. Moreover, two well-preserved specimens assigned to Actaeites lobatus Müller and Collins, 1991 (Xanthoidea MacLeay, 1838, incertae sedis) allowed to add some morphological characters to the original description of the holotype, lacking the fronto-orbital margin.

Published: December 2021

En la actualidad la región de los Altos de Jalisco es todavía poco comprendida en cuanto a sus dinámicas culturales, principalmente lo relativo a los periodos de ocupación y filiación cultural. Hasta ahora se han identificado algunas relaciones con áreas culturales cercanas sobre todo con el Bajío y la Cuenca del río Lerma-Santiago. Gran parte de los asentamientos descubiertos en esta región pertenecen al periodo Epiclásico (600-900 d.C.), cuyo patrón de asentamiento se caracteriza con sitios establecidos en las mesetas, cerros o puntos elevados. En cuanto a su arquitectura, muchos de estos sitios están conformados por patios hundidos, plazas cerradas, además de palacetes con columnas, rasgos culturales que sugieren sociedades jerarquizadas con cierto control territorial. Uno de estos sitios que sobresale en esta región es el conocido como Presa de la Luz, el cual, a partir del año de 2012 ha sido objeto de un proceso de registro, prospección y excavación con el objetivo principal de reconocer el papel que jugó dentro de las dinámicas propias de Los Altos de Jalisco y su relación con las áreas circunvecinas. Adentro de este sitio se encuentra un complejo de edificios denominado como El Cerrito de Los Agaves, en el cual, durante los trabajos de investigación del año de 2020, se hallaron las huellas de pisos quemados dentro del Montículo Principal a 4 metros de profundidad, bajo el escombro. Estos pisos fueron fechados a través de la técnica de arqueomagnetismo. Los resultados apuntan a fechamientos cercanos al año 1000 d.C., presumiblemente, estas fechas corresponden al periodo de abandono del sitio, ya que son muy similares a los fechamientos realizados por la misma técnica en el sitio de Plazuelas (localizado a 105 km al oriente de este sitio). Además de las fechas, se relacionaron estos resultados con la arquitectura propia del sitio y con los materiales arqueológicos extraídos durante el proceso de excavación (principalmente la cerámica). Con ello, podemos concluir que esta región de los Altos de Jalisco estuvo dentro de las mismas dinámicas sociales regionales durante el Epiclásico.

The chemical quality of juices and wine produced from Mamao fruit was evaluated by Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR). The calibration equation was created by the cross-validation method to be si+mulated the accuracy. Statistical values composed of correlation coefficient (R), standard error of cross-validation (SECV) and bias were used. Brix values and acidity values of Mao juice and the Brix, acidity, and alcohol values of Mao wine products were evaluated through the standard and cross-validation relation. It was found that was observed with NIR spectrometer to be absorbed in the same IR wavelength (1450 nm) which indicated that the water is the main composition. Based on FT-NIR analysis, the spectrum latices of juices and wine were revealed in the same range of the absorption bands at 1450 nm and 1940 nm to be confirmed the water composition. Also, the FT-NIR spectra from region 2258-2312 nm in Mao wine product have been predicted to the Ethanol functions.
Teologiczne aspekty muzyki w ujęciu Flawiusza Aureliusza Kasjodora
Authors: Bramorski Jacek
Published: December 2021

Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia głównych wątków teologii muzyki w ujęciu Kasjodora (ok. 485-580), którego życiowym posłannictwem było zachowanie grecko-rzymskich wartości kulturowych. Pracował nad syntezą kultury starożytnej z kulturą świata chrześcijańskiego. Przyczynił się do ocalenia spuścizny myśli antycznej w czasach zamętu i barbarzyństwa. Był wzorem spotkania kultur, dialogu, pojednania. Kasjodor założył Vivarium – wspólnotę monastyczną, w której praca intelektualna mnicha była uznawana za niezwykle cenną. Dla ludzi Kościoła, takich jak Kasjodor, wielką wartością sztuk wyzwolonych, w tym muzyki, była taka formacja intelektualna chrześcijanina, aby mógł on rozumieć Pismo Święte. Jego dzieła dotyczące muzyki są szczególnie cenne dla studiów nad początkami muzyki kościelnej. Bogaty dorobek naukowy Kasjodora w tej dziedzinie czyni go prekursorem teologicznej refleksji nad muzyką.
A Context-Based Translation of Chapter 14 “De vocibus naturalibus in animalibus eorumque anatomia” from the Liber anatomicus de natura soni et vocis of Athanasius Kircher’s Musurgia Universalis sive Ars Magna Consoni et Dissoni
Authors: Cadi Sulumuna Temina
Published: December 2021

The author’s aim is to present a context-based English translation of chapter 14 titled “De vocibus naturalibus in animalibus eorumque anatomia”, from the Liber anatomicus de natura soni et vocis of Athanasius Kircher’s Musurgia Universalis sive Ars Magna Consoni et Dissoni published in 1650 in Rome. The article is divided into three parts. The first one (introduction) states the reasons for doing a context-based translation of the chapter. The second part forms the main and most extensive part because it presents the translation itself, along with annotations. In the third part, emphasis is laid on the author’s conclusions regarding the importance of a context-based approach to the translation of Kircher’s text. An examination of the context proved to be essential for achieving both clarity and quality in the translation, avoiding significant interpretative errors, distinguishing between Kircher’s own statements and covert quotations, and providing the reader with additional information contained in the annotations, which shed light on, and comment upon, the issues raised by Kircher himself.
Ikona niemieckiego Orgelbewegung – organy ośrodka Jugendhof Hassitz w Kłodzku-Jurandowie (Goszycach)
Authors: Prasał Andrzej
Published: December 2021

Do pierwszych instrumentów powstałych na Śląsku w duchu Orgelbewegung należały organy Młodzieżowego Ośrodka Wypoczynkowo-Szkoleniowego w Kłodzku-Jurandowie. Ośrodek ten, założony z inicjatywy Richarda Poppego, stał się centrum odnowy ruchu śpiewaczego dla Niemiec wschodnich. Instrument nazwany Ver sacrum, czyli „Święta wiosna” miał upamiętniać i przypominać tych wszystkich, którzy poświęcili i oddali swoje życie za ojczyznę (zwłaszcza poległych w czasie I wojny światowej). Organy zostały wybudowane w 1929 r. przez firmę Sauer z Frankfurtu n. Odrą (opus 1400). Posiadały 27 głosów (w tym 21 realnych) i trakturę pneumatyczną z wiatrownicami typu kieszonkowego. Dyspozycję głosową opracował czołowy przedstawiciel ruchu Orgelbewegung dr Christhard Mahrenholz. O ile w warstwie brzmieniowej instrument nawiązywał do ideału organów z czasów Bacha, to jego mechanizm gry prezentował osiągnięcia XX wieku. Pod koniec 1945 r. organy zostały przekazane do kościoła parafialnego Trójcy Świętej w Strzelcach koło Kutna.
Kuźnia charakteru, korzenie świętości – wieś Zuzela, miejsce urodzenia i pierwszych lat życia Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego
Authors: Rokosz Tomasz , Wileński Radosław
Published: December 2021

The authors focus on the analysis of Stefan Wyszyński’s childhood – the years 1901-1910, spent in the village of Zuzela. They reconstruct the place of his birth and the first years of his life as a unique place in the life of the future Primate of Poland, where he experienced the benefits of having a full family – maternal and paternal love. They influenced his later life choices, so important for the fate of the Church in Poland. In retrospect, Zuzela appears as a kind of lost paradise, especially in the context of his later move to Andrzejewo, where his mother died soon – he was only nine at this time. The article also describes contemporary initiatives undertaken to commemorate the Primate of the Millennium. The sketch uses both published materials and sources developed during the field research. For the purpose of the article, interview were made with Fr. Jerzy Krysztopa, the pastor of Zuzela, and Andrzej Karp, a relative of Wyszyński’s mother.
Father Stefan Wyszyński’s Stay with the Zamoyski Family in Kozłówka: A Reconstruction of Events and Places
Authors: Bender Agnieszka
Published: December 2021

The article is an attempt to organize the existing knowledge about the stay of Fr. Stefan Wyszyński at the Zamoyski Palace in Kozłówka, where a state museum was opened after World War II. Almost half a century after the war, historical and museum research began on this subject. It was favored by the changing political situation and the publication of witnesses’ memories. Late in the 1990s, the museum came up with the idea of ​​commemorating the Primate of the Millennium in connection with the 60th anniversary of Fr. Wyszyński’s stay at Kozłówka. At that time, a bust and a dedication plaque were unveiled to commemorate the Primate. The ceremonies were accompanied by the museum’s publication Niezwykły Gość [Extraordinary Guest], containing recollections of the exceptional guest of Jadwiga and Aleksander Zamoyski. The next step taken by the Zamoyski Museum managers to commemorate Primate Wyszyński was the reconstruction of his room, ceremonially opened during the new exhibition “Father Stefan Wyszyński in Kozłówka 1940-1941” on June 21, 2016. The reconstruction of the room was not an easy task for the museum staff, as neither the photos of the room nor the items related to Fr. Wyszyński were available. Some furniture from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was found in the museum’s storage rooms. Several personal items that once belonged to the Primate were placed on the desk, such as a travel alarm clock and a set of writing utensils.

Published: December 2021

Although argumentative writing skills are essential for survival in today’s social and professional world, they are rather challenging to master. The Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education places great emphasis on the needs for graduates to grasp argumentative writing skills. However, learners appear to be ambivalent about the skills. Thus, using a quantitative approach, this study aims to explore the students’ perceptions towards learning argumentative writing as well as identify the challenges that they face. Analysed using ANOVA, data from the questionnaire used in the study indicates that: i) the respondents believed that learning argumentative writing is equally important for academic success and career development in the future; and ii) those with lower grades tend to struggle more with language style and components of argumentative writing. The findings also suggest that educators should try to cater to students’ needs in order to promote mastery of argumentative writing skills. In the future, qualitative research could be conducted to explore learners’ perceptions in more detail. Researchers could also employ mixed methods to investigate issues around argumentative writing skills from educators’ perspectives.

En este trabajo se estudia la institución de la prescripción en el derecho internacional privado desde un análisis histórico y actual. La clásica distinción entre naturaleza sustancial y procesal no es tan tajante hoy en día. Se puede decir que posee una naturaleza híbrida. La tendencia en el presente es hacia su regulación desde la lex causae en el derecho interno y por normas materiales en el derecho convencional. En el 2015, el Código Civil y Comercial de la República Argentina vino a incorporarla dentro de estas tendencias.
Microbial and preservative safety of fresh and processed fruit salads, fruit soft drinks and jam in Kenya
Authors:   Maseno University, Kenya, Olielo TK
Published: December 2021

Fresh fruits provide vitamins A and C which are anti -oxidants and other phytochemicals that form a healthy diet and lower the risk of cancer and chronic heart diseases. Kenya’s horticulture production provides 3.82 million tonnes of fruits and vegetables to the local market and 0.13 million tonnes to export market. Thirty percent is lost annually due to lack of transport and processing. T he FAO /WHO Expert consultation has recommended a daily intake of at least 400g of fruit and vegetables which means at least 200 g fruit per capita per day. In Eastern Africa, fruit consumption is less than 50g of fruit per adult per day. Consumer confidence is eroded by poor hygienic conditions in growing, handling or transporting the produce. Processing fruit by drying loses up to 88% of water and yielding a product safe for storage and results in a more intense flavour . Canning involves sterilization. Comm on preservatives used in fruit processing are benzoic acid and sulphates. The objective of this research was to assess safety of fresh and processed fruit products marketed in Kenya in terms of content of microorganisms, and residual chemical preservatives compared to FAO/WHO Codex standards and Kenya standards. The products were tested according to AOAC Official Methods of Analysis for total plate count, Staphylococcus aureus, yeast and mould, coliforms as well as benzoic acid and sulphurous acid. Results showed that chilled fresh juice had nil coliforms while processed fruit and fruit drinks from supermarkets had nil total plate count and, therefore , met safety requirements. Unrefrigerated fresh fruit salad in street kiosks had coliforms in the range 0. 50 x10 2 to 2.10 x 10 3 cfu per g. All processed fruit product s apart from strawberry jam had levels of microorganisms and preservatives below the maximum residue limits. The strawberry jam had sulphurous acid at 133 ppm which is above 100 ppm , the maximum residue limit. The producers and traders of fresh fruit and the processers should implement quality management practices and safety standards in farming, fresh fruit, processing and storage. This is to ensure safety, enhance consumption of fruits and fruit pro ducts for health of consumers and eliminate wastage .
Narrating Experiences of Breast Cancer: Reflections of Women Attending a Private Hospital in Bloemfontein, South Africa
Authors: Heggenstaller Alessandra K. , De Wet Katinka , Coetzee Jan K. , Elliker Florian
Published: December 2021

It is commonly thought that breast cancer, like many other cancers, is an illness equivalent to a death sentence. Though this may be true in some cases, the majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer do survive this illness. Breast cancer is a growing illness and is continuing to affect women worldwide, including developing countries like South Africa. Furthermore, this country’s medical system operates in terms of a duality. Here, hospitals and healthcare are mainly situated in either state operated institutions or in privately run practices. This duality emphasizes the inequality within the socio-economic classes, treatment regimens, and ethic-of-care. This article deals with how women from the higher socio-economic stratum of the deeply polarized South Africa deal with breast cancer. The aim is to understand how each participant renegotiates and transforms her self-perception, her identity, and issues around femininity. In addition, the authors also seek to understand if this medical encounter influences the participants’ sense of embodiment, as well as how the medical encounter impacts on their everyday lifeworld.
Structural and functional abnormalities of cell membranes in the end-stage chronic kidney disease
Authors: Ievlev E. N. , Kazakova I. A. , Sukhenko E. P.
Published: December 2021

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with abnormalities in all functions of the body systems including changes in intracellular processes. Assessment of erythrocyte electrophoretic mobility (EEM) in patients with CKD stage  5 on dialysis (5d) has becoming increasingly relevant, since this method characterizes the pathophysiological state of the patient and gives the possibility to modify treatment.

Aim: To identify EEM characteristics in patients on programmed hemodialysis and their association with clinical and laboratory parameters.

Materials and methods: We performed a  cross-sectional observational study in 220  patients with confirmed CKD 5d. The average age of the patients was 56.5±1.4  years (26 to 85 years) and the duration of dialysis therapy was 3.7±0.4 years. The Kt/V urea adequacy index was 1.54±0.08. The control group included 60 healthy blood donors, comparable for their age and sex. EEM was assessed with Cyto-Expert kit (Axion Holding, Izhevsk, 2010) and the WT-Cell program (LLC Westtrade LTD, 2019). Statistical analysis was performed with BioStat 2019 software.

Results: The patients on the programmed hemodialysis had lower values of oscillation amplitude (10.2±0.5  μm and 21.2±2.1  μm, p<0.001) and lower proportion of mobile red blood cells (69.5±1.8%, 89.7±9.9%, p<0.001), compared to the control group. Lower values of the oscillation amplitude were found in the age group of 25 to 44  years (9.0±1.0  μm, p<0.05). There was a  weak positive correlation between age and amplitude of erythrocyte oscillation (R=0.20, p<0.05). There were differences in the oscillation amplitude values in the patients with various dialysis experience: 1 to 2 years, 11.3±0.8 μm, 2 to 5 years, 9.9±0.7 μm, 6 to 10 years, 9.4±1.3 μm, and over 11 years, 7.4±0.9 μm (p<0.05). The duration of dialysis therapy demonstrated a weak negative correlation with the amplitude of erythrocyte oscillation (R=-0.24, p<0.01). The erythrocyte oscillation amplitude was associated with systolic blood pressure before hemodialysis procedure (R=0.34, p<0.05) and with pulse pressure before hemodialysis (R=0.37, p<0.05). The proportion of mobile erythrocytes correlated with parathyroid hormone level (R=0.32, p<0.05).

Conclusion: EEM in the patients receiving programmed hemodialysis have their specific characteristics related to a significant decrease in the oscillation amplitude proportional to the effective cell charge and lower proportions of mobile erythrocytes compared to those in the healthy control. The erythrocyte oscillation amplitude is negatively correlated with age and duration of dialysis therapy and is associated with blood pressure parameters and mineral bone indices.
Cryotherapy of the distal limbs: an effective treatment for equine laminitis following onset of lameness?
Authors: Ryde Lucy
Published: December 2021

PICO question

In horses with acute laminitis, does cryotherapy of the distal limbs applied after onset of clinical signs lead to improved clinical outcomes compared to horses treated without cryotherapy?

 

Clinical bottom line

Category of research question

Treatment

The number and type of study designs reviewed

Four papers were critically appraised; there were three randomised, controlled trials, and one retrospective cohort study.

Strength of evidence

Weak

Outcomes reported

There were reduced histological changes and lamellar injury in limbs treated with cryotherapy in the randomised controlled trials and reduced clinical severity of laminitis in horses treated with cryotherapy in the retrospective cohort study.

Conclusion

In horses with acute laminitis there is weak evidence to suggest that cryotherapy of the distal limbs is an effective treatment option when applied following onset of clinical signs. Further randomised, controlled trials should be performed to assess clinical outcomes of cryotherapy in order to draw definitive conclusions.

 

How to apply this evidence in practice

The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

“Yo no vi entonces sino su mucho deseo”. Memorias plurales en Luis Antonio de Villena
Authors: Fumis Daniela
Published: December 2021

La propuesta estética de Luis Antonio de Villena se distingue por la exploración en primera persona del devenir deseante de la escritura. En este sentido, Lúcidos bordes del abismo. Memoria personal de los Panero (2014) constituye una experiencia de singular potencia en la indagación del relato del pasado en términos de lo íntimo. El presente trabajo sostiene como hipótesis que la problematización de las figuraciones públicas de la familia Panero propuesta por el texto, a partir del énfasis en una dimensión vincular, permite a la voz dar cuenta de sí de manera desplazada, reconvirtiendo la fuerza de la primera persona en dimensión colectiva. La memoria se postula, entonces, como asunto público y se transforma en dispositivo de reflexión —no circunscripto en términos genéricos—. De esta manera, imaginar el pasado en común desde el derribo de las percepciones mitificadas será un modo de transformar recuerdo en proyecto inacabado.

The article presents an observation of the successful treatment of a patient with a fracture of the surgical neck of the right humerus against the background of osteoporotic lesions of the bone skeleton. This patient was initially underwent osteosynthesis with a titanium T-plate and screws, however, 2 weeks later, the metal structure migrated and the cancellous substance of the humerus head was severely destroyed, which made it difficult to carry out repeated resynthesis. We have proposed and tested a new method of osteosynthesis of fractures of the surgical neck of the shoulder using a titanium plate and a cerclage loop. The presented clinical observation demonstrates the feasibility of performing osteosynthesis according to our proposed method in patients with severe osteoporosis, when other methods of osteosynthesis are ineffective, and endoprosthetics of the humerus head is unavailable due to the burdened somatic status of the patient and the inaccessibility of this operation in small hospitals in the country.

Postharvest losses of tomato pose serious threat on the economic viability of actors in the tomato production chain in Nigeria. Therefore, postharvest losses of tomato among marketers in Ibadan Metropolis of Oyo State Nigeria were investigated by the researchers. One hundred and twenty tomato marketers were chosen from the five food markets in Ibadan metropolis through a simple random sampling technique. The study adopted linear regression and descriptive statistics to analyze data. The outcomes of the investigation show that females were 92.5% and 88.3% were married. Capital is primarily raised through cooperative societies (57.5%). Postharvest losses of tomato accounted for 18.9% of purchase which represents ₦124,800/day. The major causes of PHLs are poor packaging (100%) and poor storage (100%) by the tomato marketers. Meanwhile, all the respondents (100%) adopted sorting to reduce PHLs of tomato. The regression analysis showed that education has a significant effect to reduce PHLs of tomato. The study concluded that huge postharvest and monetary losses of tomato are experienced by the tomato marketers. The study recommends provision of quality postharvest handling education to tomato marketers as a way of reducing PHLs of tomato in Ibadan.

Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) is a virus that can spread rapidly from human to human. Adequacy of Sanitation Facilities will support the process of preventing transmission. The plan to reopen schools will have the potential to become a cluster of COVID-19 transmission, if not supported by adequate sanitation facilities.The research objective was to analyze the readiness of school sanitation facilities related to CTPS facilities in the prevention of COVID-19 at SMK Negeri 1 Lubuk Linggau city.This study is a qualitative descriptive study with an observational approach. Information is obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and document review. The data analysis used is content analysis with the triangulation method. The results showed that the CTPS facility was available but not equipped with a sink, no drying equipment, and the conditions were poorly maintained. The provision of hand sanitizer-based CTPS facilities has been budgeted for with BOS funds. In the implementation of CTPS, there are still school members who do not know how to wash their hands properly and correctly. The school has prepared spare masks, thermogenic as an effort to prevent COVID-19. The implementation of COVID-19 prevention has not been optimal because there are still school residents who do not optimally implement health protocols in education units.

Published: December 2021

In the last fifty years world tourism and hospitality industry experienced a phenomenal growth of international tourist arrivals, overnights and receipts. It is widely recognized that the tourism became one of the most dominating socio-economic activities at the beginning of the 21st Century. The example of Croatia speaks in favour of that statement. Tourism is the most prosperous industry and the essential development factor in Croatia. The great share of tourism results refers to family business that is of high importance to development strategy of Croatian tourism. Family business in Croatian tourism is based on households and family hotels. Family hotels are recognized on the tourism market by its original and identifiable service imbued with indigenous values and cultural heritage, diversity and individuality. Moreover, they are the most sound and prosperous segment of Croatian tourism and their top-level quality and high professionalism are basic elements of tourism development. Croatian strategic tourism development documents highlight the participation of private sector in tourism development. One of the possible ways of such participation is through public-private partnership (PPP). There are many examples of public-private partnerships in tourism around the world. According to world experiences, marketing and promotions and product development are the main areas where public-private partnership has developed. Despite the fact that tourism is very important economy generator, Croatian experiences with integral implementation of public-private partnerships in tourism are only at the beginning. The aim of this paper is to examine how Croatian family hotels could take a part in establishing public-private partnerships in tourism. Considering the world best practices on publicprivate partnership in tourism investment, the paper also suggests two acceptable partnership models. The first is related to existing tourism clusters while the second is more innovative and is related to the development of a new tourist complex. Proposed public-private partnership model for the new tourist complex development includes government (on local or/and national level) as public sector representative and family hotels as private sector representative. The paper also examines necessary prerequ

Published: December 2021

There is a lot of literature related to the use of drones, including evidence in the Rawa Tripa-Aceh court, but the implementation of this policy needs to be explored specifically at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. This study aims to examine this. Data were collected through literature studies, interviews, and observations to be analyzed using a policy implementation framework (Grindle, 1980). The findings of the policy content are: the drone policy has positive benefits for validity and legality, as well as authority, but flying permits have the potential to be negative. The degree of change is quite good even though the registration of drones and drone pilots has not been carried out. In the implementation environment, it was found that the central level was quite responsive even though the work unit had not. Competency improvement has been carried out although it is limited to drone pilots. The drone pilot training materials have not met the certification requirements. Research recommendations are: need coordination in drone operation, need guidelines for using drones, need drone registration and drone pilot certification, need competency development designs for drone users and need additional aeronautical knowledge on drone pilot competency development

Forest Management Unit (FMU)’s one of the site-level agencies that has information on forest biophysical condition and community socio-culture, so it has a significant role on Social Forestry (SF)’s success. The willingness and role of the FMU in the implementation of the SF program as an organization at the site level needs to be studied, especially from the perspective of the stakeholders involved in the SF. This study examines the role of FMUs to implement Social Forestry (SF) programs through the perspective of the parties involved in SF. This role is measured through the attitudes, orientation and actions shift of FMUs towards SF. The research hypothesis is that FMU’s roles through attitudes, orientations and actions influence the outcomes of social forestry. The study uses a quantitative approach involving 60 respondents with purpossive sampling, data processing and analysis using a scoring method to see the attitudes, orientations and actions shift and success of SF, and Pearson correlation analysis to confirmed the influence of FMU’s roles through attitudes, orientations and actions on SF’s success. The results of the study revealed that the attitudes of Production FMU Kerinci and Protection FMU Sijunjung support SF, while the FMUs' actions are based on site specific priorities. Under these conditions the shifting of FMUs attitudes and actions can explain the success of the SF in social and economy field.

Magnesium-silver alloys are of high interest for the use as temporary bone implants due to their antibacterial properties in addition to biocompatibility and biodegradability. Thin wires in particular can be used for scaffolding, but the determination of their degradation rate and homogeneity using traditional methods is difficult. Therefore, we have employed 3D imaging using X-ray near-field holotomography with sub-micrometer resolution to study the degradation of thin (250 μm diameter) Mg-2Ag and Mg-6Ag wires. The wires were studied in two states, recrystallized and solution annealed to assess the influence of Ag content and precipitates on the degradation. Imaging was employed after degradation in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium and 10% fetal bovine serum after 1 to 7 days. At 3 days of immersion the degradation rates of both alloys in both states were similar, but at 7 days higher silver content and solution annealing lead to decreased degradation rates. The opposite was observed for the pitting factor. Overall, the standard deviation of the determined parameters was high, owing to the relatively small field of view during imaging and high degradation inhomogeneity of the samples. Nevertheless, Mg-6Ag in the solution annealed state emerges as a potential material for thin wire manufacturing for implants.
Engineering a Clinical Force Measuring Walker for Patients Recovering from Median Sternotomy
Authors: LaPier Ansel
Published: December 2021

Patients often need the use of their arms to assist with functional activities, but after bone disruption, pushing is frequently limited to less than 4.5 kg. No method exists to measure arm weight bearing objectively in clinical settings. This project aimed to design, construct, and test a walker for patients who need to limit arm force to prevent excessive bone stress during post-fracture (iatrogenic or traumatic) ossification. First, a qualitative study was conducted to obtain critiques of a Clinical Force Measuring (CFM) walker prototype from rehabilitation professionals. Key statements and phrases were coded that allowed “themes” to emerge from transcribed interviews, which guided device revisions. Next, a second CFM Walker prototype was designed based on the qualitative data and device criteria/constraints and finally tested. The result was fabrication of a new lightweight, streamlined, and cost-effective prototype walker with a simple visual display and auditory cue with upper limit alarms. Key features included attachments for medical equipment and thin film force-sensing resistors integrated into the walker handles that progressively activated 3 LEDs and a buzzer when arm force exceeded programmed thresholds. The innovative CFM Walker will help patients with restricted arm weight bearing, especially elderly adults, recover safer and faster in the future.
Covariant Space-Time Line Elements in the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker Geometry
Authors: Escors David , Kochan Grazyna
Published: December 2021

Most quantum gravity theories endow space-time with a discreet nature by space quantization on the order of Planck length (lp ). This discreetness could be demonstrated by confirmation of Lorentz invariance violations (LIV) manifested at length scales proportional to lp. In this paper, space-time line elements compatible with the uncertainty principle are calculated for a homogeneous, isotropic expanding Universe represented by the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker solution to General Relativity (FLRW or FRW metric). To achieve this, the covariant geometric uncertainty principle (GeUP) is applied as a constraint over geodesics in FRW geometries. A generic expression for the quadratic proper space-time line element is derived, proportional to Planck length-squared and dependent on two contributions. The first is associated to the energy-time uncertainty, and the second depends on the Hubble function. The results are in agreement with space-time quantization on the expected length orders, according to quantum gravity theories and experimental constraints on LIV.
