HIKIKOMORIES IN INDIA: A STUDY ON THE PROBLEM OF INCREASING LONELINESS AMONG YOUTH & MEDIA INTERVENTION
Authors: Tripathi Ishan
Published: March 2023

It is really disturbing to see the hikikomori tendency increase in India. There are numerous issues to consider in light of the youth in India's increased sense of loneliness. The youth are suffering from a psychological condition known as loneliness as a result of rising population, depleting resources, a lack of employment opportunities, and an excessive reliance on technology. In the midst of all of this, it is imperative to solely utilize media (especially social media) to handle this issue, as if the issue began with excessive media consumption, it should also be resolved through media use. Due to hyperactivity in the virtual world, psychological problems like depression, suicidal ideation, fear of missing out are becoming a common disease among youth today. The time has come for social media platforms to initiate structural functional changes to introduce auto-alarming feature for their users so that users can become active members of the real world by bringing them out of the virtual world while preventing internet over-consumption. This research paper examines the issue of hikikomoris in India and suggests media interventions to address the issue.

Aim: To investigate the clinical course of COVID-19 in different trimesters of pregnancy by evaluating the demographic, clinical and laboratory data of pregnant women who applied to the Emergency Service.

Materials and method: Cases were examined in 3 groups as asymptomatic, mild symptomatic and severe disease according to symptoms and oxygen saturation. High levels of CRP, ferritin, D-dimer and lymphopenia in blood tests were considered as poor prognostic factors.

Results: Of 678 pregnant women with COVİD-19 , 118 (17.4%) were in the first trimester, 261 (38.5%) were in the second trimester and 299 (44.1%) were in the third trimester. A total of 257 (37.9%) COVID-19 (+) pregnant women were hospitalized and 120 of them were due to COVID-19 infection without any obstetric indication. Severe disease was detected in 57 (8.4%) of the cases; 29 of them (50.9%) were in the 2nd trimester and 26 (45.6%) were in the 3rd trimester. The incidence of severe disease was statistically significantly higher in the later weeks of pregnancy compared to the first trimester (p=0.004). When the distribution of the poor prognostic laboratory criteria according to trimesters was examined, 22.9% of pregnant women with COVID-19 had at least one poor prognostic laboratory criterion in the first trimester, while this rate was 41.7% and 63.9% in the second and third trimesters, respectively (p

Published: March 2023

This study examined the effect of board diversity on financial performance of quoted hospitality firms in Nigeria for a period of nineteen years (19) years spanning from 2003 to 2021. Specifically, this study ascertained the effect of gender diversity, age diversity and board independence diversity on cash flow return on investment. The panel data sets used in this study were obtained from the annual reports and accounts and Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Group fact books for the study period. Ex-post facto research design was employed. Inferential statistics using Pearson Coefficient Correlation and Panel Least Square Regression analysis were applied to test the hypotheses of the study. The findings showed that Gender diversity has a significant and positive effect on cash flow return on investment (β1 = 0.141799; P-value = 0.0000 < 0.05); Age diversity has a significant and positive effect on cash flow return on investment (β2 = 0.018494; P-value = 0.0000 < 0.05); Board independence has a significant and positive effect on cash flow return on investment (β3 = 0.289258; P-value = 0.0000 < 0.05) at 5% level of significance respectively. The study recommended inter alia that Company boards should have an independent majority since an independent majority on the board is more likely to consider the best interests of shareowners first. In times of high environmental uncertainty, outside directors can link the firm with scarce resources, help in effective strategy development and execution which can ultimately improve firm performance
THE UNDERLYING CONCERNS DEFYING ORGANIC FARMERS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Published: March 2023

The shifting trend in the consumption of health and environmentally-friendly products in the market prompted the government and selected farming entities to shift to organic agriculture from conventional farming methods. Hence, the Philippine government conducted programs motivating the local farmers to shift to organic farming, given its potential in the market. Moreover, this study explores the underlying challenges defying the farmers in adopting organic farming and the action taken to counter the issues. The investigation adopted the case study research design, using the validated researcher-made interview guide in data gathering. Using the purposive sampling technique, ten (10) farmers from the selected accredited organic farms in Bohol and Negros Occidental willingly and voluntarily participated in the one-one-interview with the researchers and field investigators. For data analysis, thematic analysis was used. The themes developed from the challenges experienced by the farmers in adopting organic farming in the aspect of production and marketing are Nature’s Devastating Effect to the Crops, Pests, and Insects: Farmers Worst Enemies, Competition in the Market Share of Organic Produce Versus the Non-Organic Products, Ensuring the Health of the Soil, Long Period of Working and Waiting, Cyclical Nature of Farming Challenges. So, to remedy these problems, they realized that Challenges in Organic Farming are Inevitable and needed to Widened their Learning Horizon Through Trainings and Seminars. Further, the challenges they experience in their quest of adopting organic farming in the provision of supporting infrastructure are: Absence of Supporting Infrastructure Needs Self Help, Selective Provision of Government Assistance, No Support Since Time Immemorial. To survive, the actions taken were: Farmers’ Self Reliance Leads to Survival and Financiers Provide Capital to the Farmers. The organic farmer in the Cebu and Negros Occidental, Philippines, has been confronted with various challenging situations that affected their sustainability amid competing with the producers of vegetables, fruits, and livestock using conventional farming methods. The most significant problem the organic farmers face is the reality of the Philippines’ vulnerability to strong typhoons and other calamities that would destroy the crops. Also, because organic farming does not apply commercial chemicals, there were instances that insects and pests would destroy their plants. Also, organic agriculture requires more time to restore the health of the soil that was destroyed after long years of applying harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Hence, the yield that would compensate the farmers’ efforts and capital outlay cannot be recovered immediately after each cropping season.

Published: March 2023

Korean Wave or Hallyu is currently very popular in Indonesia. The popularity of the Korean Wave is one of the causes of Korean food becoming popular in Indonesia and it is easy to find Korean instant food, both those that are directly imported from Korea and those that have been produced by Indonesian manufacturers. K-drama and K-pop are Hallyu products that play a major role in popularizing Korean food in Indonesia. The occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic caused changes in culture, lifestyle and made Hallyu increasingly popular in Indonesia. This study aims to 1) display several brands of South Korean instant products produced by local Indonesians, and 2) reveal the Role of Korean Culture in Product Promotion. This research used a qualitative method and data collection was conducted by interviewing Indonesian producers who produce Korean instant food to find out the reasons that make Indonesian producers interested in producing Korean instant food and what role Korean culture plays in the promotion of Korean instant food products. There are differences between Korean and Indonesian food cultures, and of course cultural adjustments are needed, such as the use of raw materials to taste adjustments. The popularity of the Korean Wave has become the basis for Indonesian manufacturers to produce Korean instant food because of business opportunities.

Published: March 2023

Remote sensing is very useful for mapping and managing earth resources. The application of this technique has been widely used and proven useful in assessing temporal changes. The indices are used to distinguish different complex land covers, but there are still difficulties with distinguishing specific land covers. Therefore, the prime aim of this present investigation is to identify the changes in the built-up area using a modified new built-up index (MNBUI). The MNBUI is developed using the reference of four earlier developed indices. The built-up area of Punjab state is extracted from 2013 and 2017 year remote sensing satellite data using MNBUI. The result shows MNBUI is more accurate in terms of built-up area extraction as compared to the other two indices – New Built-up Index and built-up index models. The accuracy assessment is carried out to evaluate the accuracy of MNBUI with a random sampling technique. The mapping accuracy reported is 95% and 0.9333 in terms of overall accuracy (OA) and kappa coefficient (π) respectively.
INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF PAN SHARPENING ON THE ACCURACY OF LAND COVER MAPPING IN LANDSAT OLI IMAGERY
Authors: Rokni Komeil
Published: March 2023

Pan Sharpening is normally applied to sharpen a multispectral image with low resolution by using a panchromatic image with a higher resolution, to generate a high resolution multispectral image. The present study aims at assessing the power of Pan Sharpening on improvement of the accuracy of image classification and land cover mapping in Landsat 8 OLI imagery. In this respect, different Pan Sharpening algorithms including Brovey, Gram-Schmidt, NNDiffuse, and Principal Components were applied to merge the Landsat OLI panchromatic band (15 m) with the Landsat OLI multispectral: visible and infrared bands (30 m), to generate a new multispectral image with a higher spatial resolution (15 m). Subsequently, the support vector machine approach was utilized to classify the original Landsat and resulting Pan Sharpened images to generate land cover maps of the study area. The outcomes were then compared through the generation of confusion matrix and calculation of kappa coefficient and overall accuracy. The results indicated superiority of NNDiffuse algorithm in Pan Sharpening and improvement of classification accuracy in Landsat OLI imagery, with an overall accuracy and kappa coefficient of about 98.66% and 0.98, respectively. Furthermore, the result showed that the Gram-Schmidt and Principal Components algorithms also slightly improved the accuracy of image classification compared to original Landsat image. The study concluded that image Pan Sharpening is useful to improve the accuracy of image classification in Landsat OLI imagery, depending on the Pan Sharpening algorithm used for this purpose.
USE OF TLS TECHNOLOGY IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Plesník Jiří , Staňková Hana , Černota Pavel
Published: March 2023

This article deals with issues related to the measurement of TLS technology, or 3D scanning in road construction. Based on the data and results obtained, a technological procedure for the use of TLS technology on highways and A-roads will be drawn up, mainly for monitoring the transition areas of bridges, which currently does not exist in the Czech Republic.
A smooth connection between two different structures in the transition areas should provide a comfortable crossing of the bridge structure. In order to unambiguously determine the movements in these areas, it is necessary to eliminate any inaccuracies that may affect the final result. For this reason, it was necessary to use a combination of traditional geodetic methods and special geodesy methods. In addition, several innovative methods were used, which emerged in this work based on newly emerging facts. All these operations and the presentation of the results will be described in this work.
New Determinations of the Surface Abundances of HD 1909: Paper II: From Calcium to Mercury
Authors: Monier Richard
Published: March 2023

New abundances for the elements calcium to mercury are measured for the brightest member of the spectroscopic binary HD 1909 using updated atomic data and spectrum synthesis. Manganese is overabundant by a unusually high factor (80 ⊙). While strontium is underabundant, yttrium and zirconium are very overabundant by factors of 250 and 500 times the solar abundances. Barium is overabundant by a factor of 20. The strongest lines of the twice ionized lanthanides Pr iii and Nd iii are not present which suggests the abundances of these two elements are solar or less. The Hg ii line at 3983.93 Å is unusually strong and reproduced by a mercury overabundance of a factor of 500,000 times the solar mercury abundance.

Published: March 2023

We use extragalactic Spitzer-InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) spectroscopy to determine the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon band, emission line, and stellar and dust continuum contributions to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)-Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) photometric filters, F560W through F1280W, appropriate for z ∼ 0 star-forming galaxies. Our data set consists of 460 IRS-SL spectra from 5.25 to 14.8 μm. Of these, 340 are from large radial strips that sample a wide range of environments across three nearby galaxies. We also include 120 spectra from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxy Survey that are centered on the brightest star-forming regions in 46 nearby galaxies. This large compilation of extragalactic mid-infrared spectra facilitates the interpretation of future work with JWST-MIRI photometry of galaxies.

Authors: Mani Zied , Chouk Inès
Published: March 2023

• Objectifs/questions de recherche Cette recherche a pour objectif d’apporter un éclairage sur les sources de création et de destruction de la valeur d’un service intelligent. Elle vise également à analyser comment la valeur d’un nouveau service intelligent peut être perçue différemment d’un consommateur à l’autre. • Méthodologie Une étude exploratoire qualitative a été menée auprès de 19 individus dans un contexte de service bancaire intelligent. Des entretiens semis-directifs ont été conduits en utilisant une vidéo projective. • Résultats Les résultats permettent d’identifier deux types de facteurs susceptibles d’influencer la perception de la valeur d’un service bancaire intelligent : des facteurs univalents liés aux sacrifices de sécurité, de vie privée et de prix et des facteurs bivalents liés aux dimensions fonctionnelles et utilitaires. De surcroît, ils ont permis d’identifier une typologie de consommateurs selon leur perception des bénéfices et des sacrifices liés à ce service (résistants, convaincus, sceptiques et hésitants). • Implications managériales/sociétales (1) Renforcer la perception positive des dimensions fonctionnelle et utilitaire des services bancaires intelligents, (2) faire en sorte que les « convaincus » jouent le rôle d’ambassadeurs, (3) informer et rassurer les « sceptiques » et les « hésitants » par rapport à leurs sources de préoccupations (sécurité, vie privée, etc.), (4) limiter le pouvoir de nuisance des résistants. • Originalité L’identification de facteurs univalents impactant de manière uniquement négative la perception de la valeur des services intelligents et de facteurs bivalents pouvant impacter (en fonction du consommateur) soit négativement soit positivement cette perception.

Authors: Bezaz Nora , Himber Thierry , Soulez Sébastien
Published: March 2023

• Objectifs de la recherche Les relations inter-fonctionnelles entre les services marketing et vente représentent une problématique managériale récurrente et l’essor du digital complexifie cette relation. L’objectif de cette recherche est double. Tout d’abord, il consiste à déterminer la place qu’occupe le digital dans les relations entre marketing et vente. Par ailleurs, il consiste à identifier les problèmes spécifiques posés par le digital ainsi que les pratiques de résolution mises en œuvre dans la gestion de l’interface entre marketing et vente. • Méthodologie Une analyse de contenu menée auprès de trois types de répondants (des responsables marketing, des responsables commerciaux et des responsables d’entreprise de conseil) a permis d’identifier la place importante du digital à différents niveaux stratégiques et opérationnels. • Résultats La digitalisation des entreprises modifie les relations entre les services marketing et vente et engendre de nouvelles contraintes dans leur coordination, de nouvelles tensions, une restructuration de leurs missions et de nouveaux besoins (en termes de données, d’outils digitaux, de formation ou de recrutement). • Implications managériales/sociétales Ces résultats conduisent à recommander des dispositifs et des modalités de coordination à mobiliser, favorisant la gestion de la digitalisation des relations inter-fonctionnelles marketing-ventes. • Originalité Cette recherche étudie l’effet de l’essor du digital sur la relation marketing / vente, sujet peu exploré, sous l’angle «  marketing-as-practice  ». Elle enrichit la littérature et identifie les problèmes spécifiques posés par le digital en mettant en lumière les pratiques de résolution mises en œuvre dans la gestion de l’interface marketing / vente.
L’autodérision dans la publicité : rôles positifs de l’humilité de la marque et de l’humour perçu
Authors: Sabri Ouidade
Published: March 2023

• Objectifs Au cours des dernières années, l’usage de l’autodérision en publicité n’a cessé de croître. Toutefois, peu de travaux académiques y ont prêté attention. Notre recherche contribue ainsi à combler cette lacune. • Méthodologie Au moyen de deux expérimentations, nous testons notre modèle conceptuel en faisant varier le type de marque (une marque fictive et une marque réelle), la catégorie de produits, le support publicitaire (publicité presse et vidéo) et le type d’arguments autocritiques. • Résultats L’autodérision contribue à l’attribution de valeurs d’humilité à la marque, ce qui affecte subséquemment l’attitude envers la marque. De plus, nous montrons également que cet effet de médiation est modéré par la congruence de la marque avec l’image de soi. • Implications managériales/sociétales Nos résultats offrent de nouvelles perspectives managériales pour soutenir l’adoption de l’autodérision en publicité. L’autodérision constitue une stratégie publicitaire gagnante contribuant à percevoir la marque comme étant humble, et plus particulièrement auprès de consommateurs qui valorisent l’humilité comme un trait structurant de leur propre personnalité. • Originalité Les contributions de notre recherche renforcent non seulement la théorisation naissante de l’autodérision et de ses effets dans un contexte publicitaire, mais permettent également de savoir s’il faut investir dans la publicité autodérisoire et auprès de quel public.
Informer les parents avec l’apposition du Nutri-Score sur les produits alimentaires destinés aux enfants : les effets de la marque
Authors: Nabec Lydiane , Guichard Nathalie , Hémar-Nicolas Valérie , Durieux Florence
Published: March 2023

• Objectif L’objectif est d’étudier dans quelle mesure l’apposition du logo Nutri-Score en face-avant des produits agroalimentaires destinés aux enfants, préconisée en France par les pouvoirs publics, permet de promouvoir auprès des parents les produits de meilleure qualité nutritionnelle dans leur catégorie. • Méthodologie Une étude pseudo-expérimentale en ligne « avant-après » a été réalisée auprès d’un échantillon de 509 parents d’enfants âgés de 3 à 18 ans. Elle repose sur une évaluation intra-sujets du caractère sain perçu du produit par les répondants, de leur intention d’achat et de leur confiance en la marque, avant et après l’apposition du Nutri-Score sur la face-avant de six paquets de céréales pour le petit-déjeuner des enfants. • Résultats Les effets de l’apposition du Nutri-Score sur l’évaluation par les parents des produits destinés aux enfants varient selon leur score nutritionnel et la nature de la marque – nationale ou de distributeur. L’apposition d’un Nutri-Score A/Vert engendre un effet de promotion des produits de meilleure qualité nutritionnelle dans leur catégorie, qui ne varie pas selon la nature de la marque. En revanche, l’apposition d’un Nutri-Score C/Jaune ou E/Orange foncé peut occasionner un effet d’alerte auprès des parents pour les produits de moins bonne qualité nutritionnelle dans leur catégorie. Celui-ci est moins défavorable pour les MDD que pour les marques nationales. • Implications managériales/sociétales Au regard des problèmes de santé publique liés à l’alimentation des enfants, cette recherche apporte des connaissances nouvelles sur les effets de l’apposition du Nutri-Score sur l’évaluation par les parents des produits agroalimentaires destinés aux enfants et sur sa capacité à améliorer la qualité nutritionnelle de leurs comportements d’achat alimentaires. • Originalité L’originalité de cette recherche réside dans la mobilisation d’une étude quasi-expérimentale en ligne auprès de parents pour appréhender les effets de l’apposition du Nutri-Score sur un marché caractérisé par la double cible marketing parents-enfants, selon la nature de la marque.
Quand l’hospitalité du site internet d’une PME l’aide à attirer des candidats
Authors: Bataoui Soffien , Gerard Jessica , Martin-Lacroux Christelle
Published: March 2023

• Objectif Recruter est un acte de gestion difficile pour les organisations et en particulier pour les PME. Dans ce contexte, le site institutionnel des PME constitue pour les candidats un premier contact avec leur employeur potentiel et une source d’information incontournable ; c’est également un levier d’attractivité pour les PME. Ainsi, nous proposons de mobiliser la littérature relative aux environnements des sites web marchands pour l’appliquer au contexte des sites institutionnels des PME. Plus spécifiquement, nous faisons appel au concept d’hospitalité virtuelle du site institutionnel d’une PME dans un contexte de recrutement afin de mesurer ses effets sur l’intention de postuler des candidats potentiels. • Méthodologie Un site institutionnel d’une entreprise fictive a été créé. Il a ensuite été décliné en trois versions, chacune représentant un niveau d’hospitalité virtuelle (niveau fort, moyen et faible). L’expérimentation a été menée auprès de 1 095 répondants. • Résultats Les résultats montrent que le niveau d’hospitalité virtuelle du site internet institutionnel a un effet sur les dimensions de chaleur et de compétence perçues de l’organisation ; ces dernières médiatisent la relation entre le niveau d’hospitalité virtuelle et l’intention de postuler. • Implications managériales/sociétales Les PME souhaitant développer l’attractivité de candidats ont intérêt à concevoir un site internet hospitalier dans la mesure où il contribue significativement à améliorer les intentions de postuler des candidats. Cette étude propose aux managers des leviers aisément actionnables afin de disposer d’un site internet plus hospitalier (comme l’insertion de photographies à caractère social ou de témoignages de salariés). • Originalité Ce travail souligne le potentiel de l’hospitalité virtuelle comme cadre intégrateur de la construction d’une relation humanisée entre un employeur et un candidat via le site internet.
Quand le produit était un animal. Le rôle des représentations et des liens affectifs à l’animal dans la relation au produit viande et sa consommation
Authors: Lamy Arnaud , Costa Sandrine , Séré de Lanauze Gilles , Vial Céline , Sirieix Lucie
Published: March 2023

• Objectif Cette recherche montre comment les liens entre la distance au produit, l’attachement affectif à l’animal à l’origine du produit et les niveaux de construit interagissent sur l’intention de consommation. • Méthodologie Elle mobilise les théories de la distance psychologique et des niveaux de construit. Le cas de la viande chevaline est choisi, car illustrant le conflit interne du mangeur partagé entre le plaisir de consommer de la viande et l’inconfort lié à la mise à mort de l’animal. Une étude qualitative est menée auprès de 21 consommateurs ou non de viande chevaline. • Résultats Les bas niveaux de construit sont davantage reliés à de faibles distances psychologiques au produit, et à un faible attachement affectif à l’animal : les individus se percevant proches du produit l’évaluent sur des caractéristiques concrètes et ont peu de liens affectifs au cheval, et inversement. Cependant un faible attachement affectif à l’animal ne permet d’avoir des construits de bas niveau de la viande que si l’individu peut se rapprocher psychologiquement de ce produit, ce qui est impossible lorsque celui-ci est peu visible. • Implications managériales Des recommandations à destination des acteurs du secteur agro-alimentaire sont formulées pour améliorer l’offre de produits carnés. • Originalité L’inclusion de l’attachement affectif à l’animal permet de mieux comprendre comment cette variable vient se combiner à la distance psychologique au produit et aux niveaux de construit pour comprendre les attitudes et les intentions des consommateurs.

• Objectif L’alimentation des étudiants est souvent dépeinte comme déstructurée, déséquilibrée avec un recours fréquent à la restauration rapide. Pourtant, le statut d’étudiant cache des réalités différentes. L’objectif de cette recherche consiste à mettre en lumière l’hétérogénéité des étudiants via une typologie sur la base d’un score alliant leur équilibre alimentaire et leur niveau d’élaboration culinaire afin de proposer des actions ciblées. • Méthodologie Après l’analyse d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès de 36 étudiants, une étude quantitative par questionnaire auto-administré a été réalisée en ligne auprès d’étudiants de profils variés (n=804). La typologie a été effectuée sur SPSS (CAH – méthode de Ward, puis classification non-hiérarchique) en conservant le plus de nuances possibles entre les niveaux d’équilibre alimentaire et d’élaboration culinaire. • Résultats L’analyse typologique révèle cinq segments : les Majors de promo , les Non Impliqués , les Challengers , les Malins et les Apprentis cuisiniers . Ils diffèrent en termes de niveau d’élaboration culinaire, d’équilibre alimentaire, de variables socio-démographiques et comportementales. • Implications managériales Cet article suggère des actions ciblées aux acteurs concernés (établissements, CROUS, associations…), notamment dans une optique de Responsabilité Sociale des Universités (RSU). En effet, l’intérêt pour des services d’accompagnement varie selon les étudiants. Les Non Impliqués , qui en auraient le plus besoin, apparaissent difficiles à toucher. Les Majors de promo pourraient être mobilisés afin de les guider vers de meilleures pratiques. • Originalité L’originalité de cette recherche réside, d’une part, dans la mesure explicite des niveaux d’équilibre alimentaire et d’élaboration culinaire, étudiés conjointement et, d’autre part, dans la segmentation des étudiants.
Self-healing properties of augmented injectable hydrogels over time
Authors: Castro Connor , Brown Zachary R. , Brewer Erik
Published: March 2023

Injectable polymers offer great benefits compared to other types of implants; however, they tend to suffer from increased mechanical wear and may need a replacement implant to restore these mechanical properties. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate an injectable hydrogel's self-healing ability to augment itself to a previously molded implant. This was accomplished by performing a tensile strength test to examine potential diminishing mechanical properties with increasing time, as well as dye penetration tests to examine the formation of interfacial bonds between healed areas of hydrogels. There were several time points in between injections that were explored, from 0 min between injections all the way up to 48 h in between injections. The tests showed no statistical differences of the increased injection times compared to the single injection for the tensile test. However, our results showed an increase of mechanical breaks at self-healed joints, as well as a linear regression test showed a decrease in dye diffusion rate as time between injections increase. These results show that the hydrogel has strong self-healing abilities, and as time between injections increase, they mechanical properties will slowly decrease. Based on this, the tests can be applied to other injectable implants and a noninvasive solution to a worn-down implant, as well as show scientific backing to a possibly unique and beneficial self-healing property.

Alkali-activated slag (AAS) materials activated by NaOH or waterglass has been long-term criticized for the developed substantial shrinkage. To this regard, this paper explored MgO as both an activator and an expansive agent to prepare shrinkage-free AAS. The setting time, mechanical strength, pore structure, autogenous shrinkage, drying shrinkage, and hydration products of MgO-activated AAS were studied. Experimental results confirmed that MgO can effectively mitigate the autogenous shrinkage and drying shrinkage of AAS via the expansive deformation caused by Mg(OH)2. Generally, AAS with a higher dosage of MgO developed less shrinkages and refiner pore structures with more gel pores. An optimal dosage of 9% MgO is recommended to prepare AAS with near zero shrinkage and the highest flexural strength.
Effects of the mineralogical composition and particle size distribution of ladle furnace slag as a cement/fine aggregate replacement in concrete

Published: March 2023

Ladle furnace slag (LFS) shows excellent potential for valorization. Despite this, landfills are typically its final destination, mainly because of technological barriers in its valorization process. This work examines the potential use of LFS as a partial cement/fine aggregate replacement, focusing on the effects of LFS composition and particle size distribution on concrete physico-mechanical properties. Chemical/mineralogical characterization of raw/hydrated samples, fresh-/hardened-state concrete properties, and volumetric instability tests were evaluated. Our results show reduced mechanical performance with LFS replacement, reaching compressive strength values of 32-42 MPa after 28 days. LFS mineralogical characterization reveals the absence of free CaO and the presence of periclase with its hydration/carbonation products. Therefore, the weathering/maturity process mainly affects free CaO. Furthermore, the observed volumetric instability issues were within the Code on Structural Concrete (Spanish abbreviation: EHE) established limits (0.04%), suggesting that the remaining periclase could be responsible for this expansive behavior.
L'histoire contemporaine de la langue catalane : une évolution paradoxale
Authors: Bernat i Baltrons Francesc
Published: March 2023

Pour comprendre la situation actuelle du catalan, il faut partir de l’idée qu’elle est le résultat d’un processus de minorisation linguistique, commencé au début de l’époque moderne et partiellement inversé à partir de la fin du XIXe et surtout au XXe siècle. Or le degré d'inversion a été variable selon les territoires, et le phénomène n'a même pas eu lieu dans certaines aires périphériques où la langue est près de l’extinction. Ces différences peuvent s'expliquer par le fait que ni les agents diffuseurs des langues des États où l'on parle catalan (espagnol, français ou italien), ni les mouvements de récupération linguistique, n’ont eu le même succès dans les différents territoires catalanophones. Du fait de la tension entre ces deux forces, l’histoire contemporaine de la langue catalane est marquée par un phénomène contradictoire : la récupération du catalan dans une partie de son territoire y a été accompagnée d’une pénétration sociale de l’espagnol inconnue jusqu'au XXe siècle.
Modifying Type of Insulin to Manage Steroid-Induced Hyperglycemia: A Case Report
Authors: Pollock Faith M.
Published: March 2023

Steroid-induced hyperglycemia was diagnosed in an older hospitalized patient after he was treated with the intermediate-acting glucocorticoid methylprednisolone. Before hospital admission, the patient did not have a diagnosis of diabetes. His elevated admission glucose level of 167 mg/dL along with his significant hyperglycemia after glucocorticoid initiation prompted the medical team to obtain a hemoglobin A1c result, 8.4%, which confirmed the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. The capillary blood glucose level was elevated into the 200 to 399 mg/dL range for most of the patient’s hospital stay while he was receiving subcutaneous insulin therapy of glargine and aspart correction and prandial bolus dosing. When the patient’s subcutaneous insulin therapy was changed from glargine to neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin, the target glucose level range of 140 to 180 mg/dL was attained. From this case report, we determined that it is important to consider modifying subcutaneous insulin therapy by using another type of insulin when target glucose values are not achieved during the treatment of steroid-induced hyperglycemia.
Improving Skin Care Protocol Use in the Intensive Care Unit to Reduce Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries
Authors: Fischbein Amanda B.
Published: March 2023

Background

Patients in the intensive care unit have the highest rate of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). In the United States, treatment of HAPIs costs an estimated $9.1 to $11.6 billion annually, with each occurrence adding an average of $10 708 to a patient’s total hospital cost. In addition to their financial impact, pressure injuries negatively affect patients physically, socially, and psychologically and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Objective

An intensive care unit had 42 HAPIs during a single fiscal year, with 45% of them related to lack of adherence to the institution’s established evidence-based skin care protocol. This project was conducted to increase adherence to the protocol and thus reduce the incidence of HAPIs in the unit.

Methods

This quality improvement initiative featured an evidence-based multifaceted intervention to increase adherence to the skin care protocol. A review of medical records was used to determine general skin care protocol adherence and to measure the monthly incidence of HAPIs in the unit.

Results

The number of HAPIs in the unit decreased from 33 in the preintervention period to 11 in the postintervention period, a reduction of 67%. The rate of general skin care protocol adherence improved to as high as 76% by the end of the postintervention period.

Conclusion

Use of an evidence-based multifaceted intervention can improve adherence to a skin care protocol in the intensive care unit, resulting in a reduced incidence of HAPIs and improved patient outcomes.

Background: The Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and new visceral adiposity index (NVAI) are novel indices of visceral adiposity used to predict metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in Asian populations. However, the relationships of CVAI and NVAI with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have not been investigated. We aimed to characterize the relationships of CVAI and NVAI with the prevalence of CKD in Korean adults.Methods: A total of 14,068 participants in the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (6,182 men and 7,886 women) were included. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were employed to compare the associations between indices of adiposity and CKD, and a logistic regression model was used to characterize the relationships of CVAI and NVAI with CKD prevalence.Results: The areas under the ROC curves for CVAI and NVAI were significantly larger than for the other indices, including the visceral adiposity index and lipid accumulation product, in both men and women (all P<0.001). In addition, high CVAI or NVAI was significantly associated with a high CKD prevalence in both men (odds ratio [OR], 2.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.31 to 3.48 in CVAI and OR, 6.47; 95% CI, 2.91 to 14.38 in NVAI, P<0.05) and women (OR, 4.87; 95% CI, 1.85 to 12.79 in CVAI and OR, 3.03; 95% CI, 1.35 to 6.82 in NVAI, P<0.05); this association remained significant after adjustment for multiple confounding factors in men and women.Conclusion: CVAI and NVAI are positively associated with CKD prevalence in a Korean population. CVAI and NVAI may be useful for the identification of CKD in Asian populations, including in Korea.
