Introduction: In the course of the study, we examined energy-efficient and environmentally friendly heat-insulating materials based on gypsum and gypsum-containing primary components. Purpose of the study: We aimed to assess the effectiveness of using gypsum materials in wall structures, by using the finite element method based on the ANSYS Steady State Thermal module. Porous materials of different densities (structural, structural and heat-insulating, and heatinsulating gypsum concrete) were used as wall materials. These materials were obtained as a result of the interaction between residual sulfuric acid adsorbed on the grains of “acidic” fluoroanhydrite and carbonate flour. Methods: The finite element method based on the ANSYS Steady State Thermal module was used. The thermal conductivity of the structures was evaluated in a three-dimensional coordinate system. The experimental values of thermal and physical characteristics were adopted for the walling fragments. Results: The problem was solved numerically, by using the finite element method based on the ANSYS Steady State Thermal module. We established that the developed structural and heat-insulating gypsum concrete is more effective since, under the set design conditions, the temperature of the inner surface of such a wall at the minimum (510 mm) and maximum (770 mm) structure thickness exceeds the temperature of the inner surface of walls made of different materials.

Practical Review of Diagnosis and Management of Cutaneous Tuberculosis in Indonesia
Authors: Roelan Tiffany
Published: October 2021

Tuberculosis is a life-threatening infectious disease that remains a high incidence worldwide. The classification of tuberculosis can be divided into two forms, i.e., pulmonary and extrapulmonary.  The pathogenesis of tuberculosis depends on the cell-mediated immunity of the host. One of the variants of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is cutaneous tuberculosis, that commonly found in Indonesia. Based on the bacterial load, cutaneous tuberculosis is divided into two types, multibacillary and paucibacillary tuberculosis. Diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis often requires specific investigations, such as histopathology, Ziehl-Neelsen staining, Interferon-Gamma Release Assays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay serology, and Polymerase Chain Reaction. The treatment principle for cutaneous tuberculosis is the same as the treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis, which consists of an intensive and maintenance phase.

Revisão de literatura: surdez e identidades interseccionais
Authors: Denari Fátima Elisabeth , Colombo Isabella Mota
Published: October 2021

A surdez é mais investigada do que outras marcas identitárias, como gênero e raça, gerando a simplificação das identidades surdas e diminuindo a visibilidade das especificidades das outras pessoas também inseridas nesse grupo. O objetivo desta pesquisa é comparar o que tem sido produzido academicamente quanto à intersecção entre surdez, gênero e raça, quando as publicações mencionam os três marcadores sociais conjuntamente e quando mencionam apenas os dois primeiros. As buscas foram feitas nas bases de dados Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior e Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações. A busca com foco na surdez e gênero foi denominada de Eixo 1 e a busca com foco na surdez, gênero e raça foi denominada de Eixo 2. O Eixo 1 resultou em seis publicações selecionadas e o Eixo 2 em três publicações. Percebeu-se que os estudos do Eixo 1 não realizaram o entrelace entre gênero e outros marcadores sociais de opressão, compreendendo o gênero como uma categoria autônoma. Os estudos do Eixo 2 mostraram que, além da raça, outros marcadores sociais atrelados à surdez não se sobrepõem, mas se interseccionam uns com os outros, e que a cada combinação há uma forma diferente de opressão sofrida pela mulher surda. Concluiu-se o quão importante é utilizar instrumentos conceituais que buscam analisar como as estruturas de opressão e de privilégio se entrelaçam e como exercem influência na vida e na construção das identidades das mulheres surdas.

Nano composite materials were characterized by XRD where the result indicates that the average crystallite sizes were around 36.19 nm for ZnFe2O4 and 12.22 nm for CuFe2O4.The effect of contact time, adsorbent dose, pH and type of adsorbents was used to find the optimum condition for removal of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions .The equilibrium adsorption data was good fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, and the pseudo first-order kinetic model showed the excellent fit in adsorption equilibrium capacity. The best pH used for removal was 7. The good removal reaches at the time 45 min for cadmium and need more time for lead. When increasing dosage of adsorbents, the removal efficiency increases. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm gave the best fit experimental data. Also, antibacterial effects of this nano particles demonstrated the effect of CuFe2O4 NPs on bacteria more than used ZnFe2O4 NPs, and the percentage of bacterial death was increased according to increase the concentration of this materials.
Juan María Montijano.
Authors: Gallo Anna , Leon Guerrero Sergio
Published: October 2021

A partire da una riflessione maturata da Juan María Montijano riguardo la natura metafisica del design, intesa quale custode del reale significato degli oggetti che ci circondano, lo studio approfondisce il ‘valore immateriale dei prodotti materiali' con l’intento di invitare a porre attenzione non solo sul binomio forma-funzione ma anche sulla stratificazione intangibile che lo sostiene. Una dimensione considerata privilegiata in quanto qui si incontrano il processo progettuale e l’esperienza d’uso contribuendo entrambi a liberare gli oggetti dall’anonimato della standardizzazione e dai rischi della spersonalizzazione, dotandoli di una sorta di ‘biografia’. In questo modo le cose si trasformano in storie, linguaggi, relazioni.

A supporto della tesi della ‘metafisica del disegno’, il terzo paragrafo indaga il pensiero di studiosi del Novecento – da Barthes, Baudrillard, Selle, Kopytoff, De Fusco, le cui ricerche convergono da prospettive differenti verso l’idea di una dimensione culturale del quotidiano costruita mediante i significati e i segni appartenenti alle sue componenti piccole e grandi. In tal senso anche il termine ‘patrimonio’ viene considerato nell’accezione inglese di Cultural Heritage, ovvero come giacimento attivo da continuare ad alimentare nel tempo attraverso strumenti in grado di valorizzarne i contenuti aggiornandoli e rendendoli accessibili e fruibili.

Tra questi la tecnica dello storytelling, canale narrativo che pone in evidenza in particolar modo l’immateriale, ritrovando quindi nei contenitori culturali come archivi e biblioteche delle dimensioni in grado di favorire lo sviluppo di azioni strategiche finalizzate a incrementare conoscenza e cultura. Da qui la parte finale del testo è dedicata ad esaminare l’opera di valorizzazione portata avanti da Juan María Montijano per oltre quindici anni nella Biblioteca e nell’Archivio del san Carlo alle Quattro Fontane a Roma al fine di tutelare, raccontare e trasmettere nel tempo la memoria storica custodita al suo interno.

Authors:   PG Scholar, Department of PG Studies in Shalya Tantra, Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Kumar Bolu Kishan
Published: October 2021

Background and Objective: Pressure ulcers regarded as preventable but occur in approximately 5% of all hospitalized patients (range of 3% to 12 % in published literature). It is more common in paraplegic patients. Only after the complete debridement of slough in grade 3 and grade 4 pressure sores the healing progresses and the infection can be controlled. A chemical solution of 5%Tankana in Gomutra Arka was reviewed in the management of a case of pressure ulcer. Presentation of Case: A 26 year old male hemiplegic patient presented with a wound in the sacral region which was diagnosed as a Grade 4 pressure ulcer measuring 12x13 cm. Manual Debridement of ulcer was associated with bleeding. Methodology: There after the solution of 5% Tankana in Gomutra Arka was applied upon the wound by soaking a gauge with the above solution. A regular passive movement of the lower part of the body was done to prevent further development of new Ulcer. Result: After 3 days of dressing 90 % or slough was reduced, discharge from the ulcer reduced and progression of infection had stopped. Discussion: Pressure ulcers impose an economic burden on the patient and common problem amongst bed ridden patients. Grade 4 pressure ulcers have a poor prognosis. Manual slough removal is usually associated with bleeding. Chemical debridement not only helps us in avoiding instances of bleeding but also is more effective in its reach and action. Conclusion: In this case 5% Tankana bhasma in Gomutra Arka was found to be very effective in slough removal which in turn reduced the total duration of management. Use of Chemical debriding agents in a grade 4 ulcer had hastened the process of slough removal and improves the overall rate of recovery. Mixture of Tankana and Gomutra Arka seemed to complement each other’s action on Vrana Shodhana.

A number of intergovernmental agreements, the most important of which are the Paris Agreement (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change) and the European Green Deal, provide for resource efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas and particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10) emissions to 2030 (short-term program to reduce emissions by at least 55 %) and to achieve emissions-neutral production, transport and household activities by 2050. The European Union (EU) has taken the lead in developing and implementing climate change mitigation policies for both industrial and private residential homes in the world through a green course. As an EU country, Latvia has joined both the EU-level climate policy and developed its policy, regulatory documents and action plans for 2021–2030 (Latvia’s National Energy and Climate Plan for 2021–2030), climate policy, including a policy aimed at significantly reducing GHG emissions and increasing efficiency in the household sector. Achieving these climate policy goals requires both a change in human habits and more efficient technologies. This article discusses one of the technological solutions that can reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and the release of PM2.5 and PM10 from individual heating systems in private homes and small commercial facilities. Calculations of electrical energy production in mCHP mode of the system for household self-consumption based on experiments will be done. The technology involves the production of heat from biomass or other types of renewable energy sources while generating electricity for self-consumption. Conclusions of CHP mode on overall efficiency will be done.

Teaching Vibration to university undergraduates
Authors: Adams Robert D.
Published: October 2021

This paper provides a description of an undergraduate course on vibration, given to second and third year students at Bristol university in the UK. The course, and my teaching philosophy, were developed over more than 30 years. The lectures were given in two 20-hour courses which were supported by an equal number of examples classes. Students were provided with a series of question sheets which contained questions from previous examination papers. In addition, laboratory classes were provided to give the students “hands on” experience on how to excite, control, measure, and to interpret various vibrating systems. The first set of lectures began with the analysis of a single degree of freedom system, adding different forcing functions and more degrees of freedom. The second set of lectures introduced continuous systems, consisting of bars, beams, and plates. The limitations of reality, particularly boundary conditions, was emphasized. Wherever possible, some artifact was taken to the lecture amplify the mathematics. I have interleaved into the presentation some of my teaching philosophy and how it is important in a heavily mathematical subject such as vibration to teach rather than to try and impress the students as to how clever is their lecturer. Finally, if the lecturer does not enjoy giving the lectures, the students will not receive that “extra” which distinguishes a good lecture from a bad lecture, and also distinguishes a good lecture from reading a text book.

In the last years, the Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering (MIEM) at FEUP revealed a very high capability for attracting young students. However, the true reasons that determine the interest of the students in the Mechanical Engineering cycle of studies (CS) are not well understood. This paper tries to shed light on this question. A survey was prepared and applied to the first year students enrolled on MIEM in 2020-2021. The responses were analyzed statistically and organized comprehensively. The results show that the opinions of others, the quality and availability of information, the versatility and employability rates of the CS, the quality of training and the reputation of the HEI/CS are crucial. The findings can be further explored by the FEUP/CS decision makers to delineate policies envisaging strengthening the ability of Mechanical Engineering to compete for the best potential candidates to higher education. Indeed, the higher education institutions are aware that they have to fight for students in the global recruitment market and be more proactive than they used in the past.

The present study analyzed the influence of cultural determinants on the sustainable consumption behavior of individuals temporarily immersed in a foreign culture. Based on the framework proposed by Ceglia et al. (2015) for cross-cultural research on sustainable consumption, the study investigated the influence of material culture and communication and language systems on the sustainable consumption behavior of Brazilian exchange students living in Germany. The research adopted a qualitative interpretive design through an exploratory and descriptive approach. Data were collected through participant and non-participant observations and in-depth interviews with ten business students (six women) aged between 22 and 26. Students had to have studied at German universities for at least one semester to participate in the study. The results show that participants perceive the influence of cultural differences on their consumption behavior. In addition, both material culture (e.g., objects, institutions, and organizations) and language and communication systems (e.g., verbal and non-verbal communication) influence their sustainable consumption practices. Ultimately, this configures a dynamic process of adaptation to the new cultural context in which they live. The study innovates by bringing an empirical analysis of yet ill-understood cultural components. Such efforts complement current research and try to consolidate a broader cross-cultural research agenda on sustainable consumption.

Foundation is the lower structure of the building located below the ground that has the function to bear the load of the building. The building has been standing for ± 5 years and the slope of the building is ± 1-20. The authors analyzed soil bearing capacity, settlement and the slope of the building and the possibility of repairing the building for reuse. In 1 pile cap there are 4 bore piles with a depth of 6m-12m, because the pile cap data is not obtained then the size and thickness is assumed and the soil data used is secondary data without lab data derived from soil data in locations adjacent to the building site that is ±100m from the building site. After the analysis, soil bearing capacity is not strong to bear the dead load of the building when using a foundation with a depth of 6m-12m, there is a possibility that the foundation used is not suitable and there is a reduction in the load of the building due to the presence of other buildings that are adjacent to the building in the analysis resulting in a considerable decrease and slope of the building.Fondasi adalah struktur bagian bawah bangunan yang terletak di bawah permukaan tanah yang mempunyai fungsi memikul beban bangunan. Bangunan ini sudah berdiri selama ± 5 tahun dan  kemiringan bangunan sebesar ± 1-20. Penulis menganalisis daya dukung tanah, penurunan tanah dan kemiringan bangunan dan kemungkinan memperbaiki bangunan agar dapat digunakan kembali. Pada 1 pile cap terdapat 4 buah bore pile dengan kedalaman 6m–12m, karena data pile cap  tidak diperoleh maka ukuran dan ketebalannya diasumsikan dan data tanah yang digunakan adalah data sekunder tanpa data lab yang berasal dari data tanah di lokasi berdekatan dengan lokasi bangunan yang berjarak ±100m dari lokasi bangunan. Setelah di analisis, daya dukung tanah tidak kuat untuk menahan beban mati bangunan bila menggunakan fondasi dengan kedalaman 6m–12m dan ada kemungkinan fondasi yang digunakan tidak sesuai dan terjadi reduksi beban bangunan karena adanya bangunan lain yang berdempetan dengan bangunan yang di analisis sehingga mengakibatkan penurunan dan kemiringan bangunan yang cukup besar.
