Authors: GEMİCİOĞLU Bahadır , DEMİRCAN Tolga
Published: August 2021

In this study, the effects of using different water-ethylene glycol mixture rates on heat transfer performance put in an automobile radiator as a liquid is experimentally analysed. Ethylene glycol is added in water volumetrically and experiments are conducted for 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% volumetric ratio of ethylene glycol. For all these mixture rates, 300 experiments are conducted for fluid inlet temperature between 40-80 °C, fluid inlet flow rate between 10-22 l/min and cooling air between 1-4 m/s. As a result of the experiments, it is observed that as ethylene glycol mixture ratio passing from the radiator increased, heat transfer decreased. However, as cooling air velocity, fluid inlet flow rate and radiator inlet temperature increased, heat transfer increased as well. When water-ethylene glycol mixture is used in the radiator instead of water, it is observed that radiator fluid freezing temperature decrease and radiator heat transfer performance is negatively impacted.
A. Kireyev: “Russian Culture will be Based neither upon Metaphysics nor Law, but upon Ethics”
Authors: Елисеев Сергий
Published: August 2021

Статья посвящена одному из лидеров позднего славянофильства, богослову и публицисту генералу А. А. Кирееву (1833-1910) и его участию в работе религиозно-философских собраний в Санкт-Петербурге начала ХХ века. В статье обсуждается доклад, прочитанный Киреевым на одном из собраний и посвящённый вопросу догматического развития. В нём Киреев высказал своё отношение по ряду актуальных вопросов, волновавших русское общество: состояние диалога между Церковью и интеллигенцией; критика западных исповеданий и перспективы межхристианского диалога; взаимоотношение вселенского догмата и местного предания; влияние особенностей национального менталитета на характер развития религии; перспективы и условия построения самобытной русской культуры на новых началах и др. В статье анализируется попытка Киреева придать исключительное значение нравственному учению в ущерб догматическому преданию Церкви. Также приводятся материалы из сочинений и дневниковых записей Киреева, которые позволяют представить себе культурный контекст и настроения русских религиозных мыслителей славянофильского направления в период обсуждения вопроса о необходимости обновления Русской Церкви и реформировании системы её управления. Среди прочего подчёркивается влияние идеалистической философии и либерального западного богословия (прежде всего старокатолического) на формирование взглядов А. А. Киреева. Упоминается о его контактах с В. С. Соловьевым и Ф. М. Достоевским и о той роли, которую отводил Киреев религиозной философии и литературе в деле построения русской самобытной культуры на новых началах.

General Alexander Kireyev (1833-1910) was a Slavophile leader, theologian and political writer who took part in a series of religious and philosophical meetings in the early 20th century St. Petersburg. The article refers to his report on dogmatic development that was presented at one of the meetings. Kireyev expressed his views on several problems regarded as vital in the Russian society: interaction between the Church and intelligentsia, criticism of Western Christian denominations, scopes for ecumenical dialogue, relations between universal dogma and local tradition, impact of ethnic mentality on the development of religion, prospects and conditions needed to develop new foundations for an original Russian culture. The article examines Kireyev’s endeavor to put an ethical doctrine over the church’s dogmatic teaching. Kireyev’s works and diaries are quoted to help the reader to conceive the cultural context and the mindset of the Slavophile religious thinkers in the age of the debate over a renewal of the Russian Church and reform of her polities. The author stresses the influence of idealistic philosophy and liberal Western theology (mainly Old Catholic) on the development of Kireyev’s ideas, mentioning also his connections with Solovyov and Dostoevsky and evaluating Kireyev’s views on the special role of religious philosophy and literature in developing new foundations for an original Russian culture.
Christianization of Rus and the Moral and Educational Mission of the Church in the Context of the Russian History
Authors: Игумнов Платон
Published: August 2021

Статья посвящена исполнившемуся в 2018 году 1030-летию Крещения Руси. Рассматривая события 988 года как эпохальное событие отечественной истории, автор связывает с ним все коренные перемены, происшедшие в исторической жизни русского и других народов России. Событие Крещения Руси означало вступление народов Руси в Завет с Богом и ознаменовало собой начало нового исторического бытия, конечной целью которого является грядущее Царство Божие и вечная жизнь. Видимым проявлением и конкретным обнаружением в исторической жизни мира Завета народа с Богом выступает основанная Господом Иисусом Христом Святая Церковь, актуальным предназначением которой в истории России, как и в истории других народов мира, является освящение сверхприродной Божественной благодатью всех сфер личной, семейной, общественной и государственной жизни, нравственное преображение исторического лика народного бытия и введение всего естественного строя бытия в порядок нетления и вечности. Ведущая роль в этом всемирно-историческом процессе принадлежит нравственно-просветительной миссии Церкви.

Evaluating the event of 988 as a momentous point of Russia’s history, the author links to it all major changes in lives of the Russians and other Russia’s ethnic groups. Theologically, the Christianization of Rus marked entering of the Rus’ people into a covenant with God and a new age of their history, the final goal of which is the upcoming Kingdom of God and the life eternal. The visible manifestation and historical incarnation of the covenant between the people and God is the holy church, which was founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ. Her actual purpose in the history of Russia as well as of other nations’ histories is to consecration, by the means of the supernatural God’s grace, of all spheres of personal, family, public, and political life, moral transfiguration of historic face of the people’s existence, and leading of all natural setting of existence into an order of incorruption and eternity. The leading role in this global historical process belongs to the moral and educational mission of the Church.
The Polemic Between J. Searle and D. Dennett from the Perspective of Christian Apologetics
Authors: Парпара Анатолий Анатольевич
Published: August 2021

В статье излагаются взгляды известных философов Дж. Сёрла и Д. Деннета на природу сознания и полемика между ними. Оба автора являются материалистами, однако принадлежат к различным течениям: редукционизму (Деннет) и антиредукционизму (Сёрл): первое утверждает, что явления сознания без остатка сводятся к физической реальности, второе - что они обладают онтологической несводимостью. Рассматриваются мировоззренческие основания обоих мыслителей, в том числе отношение к религии, и кратко разбираются основные теоретические конструкции, которые они используют: эмерджентизм, «китайская комната», виды редукции и субъективности по Сёрлу, «пандемониум», мемы, верификационизм и гетерофеноменология по Деннету. Показано, что споры между редукционистами и антиредукционистами свидетельствуют о наличии существенных противоречий в современном материализме, которые могут быть использованы христианской апологетикой как для критических целей, так и в качестве отправной точки для построения диалога.

The article discusses the views of J. R. Searle and D. C. Dennett on the nature of consciousness and their polemic. Both philosophers are materialists but take different positions on the problem of consciousness: Dennett claims that mental phenomena can be completely reduced to physical (reductionism), while Searl maintains ontological irreducibility of the former (antireductionism). The author states their world views, including attitudes towards religion, and briefly discusses the main theoretic constructs they use: emergentism, the Chinese room, types of reduction and subjectivity according to Searle, pandemonium, memes, verificationism and heterophenomenology according to Dennett. It is shown that discussions between reductionists and antireductionists reveal substantial contradictions in contemporary materialism, which may by used by Christian apologetics not only for critics, but as a starting point for a dialog as well.
Pavel Florensky’s Concept of Organ Projection and Herbert McLuhan’s Idea of Extensions of Man: The Subject in the Era of Incarnated Utopias
Authors: Сороколетов Никита Вадимович
Published: August 2021

В данной статье анализируются, в первую очередь, утопические проекты П. Флоренского и К. Малевича, которые сравниваются с идеей расширяющегося тела Г. Маклюэна. Значительное внимание уделяется концепции органопроекции, предложенной П. Флоренским, и концепции развоплощения, описанной К. Малевичем. В статье также предпринята попытка выяснить, каким образом эти утопии влияют на перцептивные способности субъекта. На основе проведённого анализа автор приходит к выводу о том, что если в случае с фашизмом технология приводит к эстетизации политики, в случае с коммунизмом - к политизации искусства, то в современную эпоху наблюдается нечто третье, а именно - эстетизация субъекта. Таким образом, автор статьи, сравнивая утопические проекты П. Флоренского, К. Малевича и Г. Маклюэна, прослеживает связь между ними и приходит к выводу о том, что не все утопии ХХ века преодолены.

The article analyses utopian projects of Fr. Pavel Florensky and K. Malevich, who are compared with Herbert Marshall McLuhan’s idea of expanding body. A special attention is paid to the concepts of organic projection developed by Florensky and to the concepts of excarnation presented by K. Malevich. The article seeks to find out how these utopians influence on the perceptual abilities of subject. The author suggests that if in the case of fascism technology leads to the aestheticization of politics and in the case of communism to the politicization of art, then in the modern times the aestheticization of subject is observed. Comparing the utopian projects of Florensky, Malevich and McLuhan, the author concludes that not all utopias of the 20th century have so far been overcome.

Authors: Ullah Aman
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACT The current study aims to explore and investigate the relationship between the experiences of COVID-19 and health anxiety among people. The study design adopted in this study was cross-sectional and primary data were collected from 500 respondents through a structured questionnaire in District Mardan-Pakistan. Bivariate and Multivariate analyses were carried out for measuring the relationship between “COVID-19” experiences and health anxiety, while cause and effects of the mentioned variables were analysed through a logistic regression model. The findings of the study revealed that the prevalence of health anxiety was found highly significant with the “COVID-19” experience. It has been inferred from the study’s findings that those people who experienced “COVID-19” had symptoms of health anxiety. The prevalence of health anxiety was found highly significant with “COVID-19” among older people. Establishing psychological and rehabilitation centres for sustained recovery of the “COVID-19” affected people, has also been suggested.

THE THEATER OF A LIBERAL IRONIST: THE AMERICAN WEST AND THE FEMALE SELF IN SHEPARD’S A LIE OF MIND
Authors: Hossein Oroskhan Muhammad , Hadaegh Bahee
Published: August 2021

The formation and the establishment of the United States firmly adheres to two beliefs of the American dream and the American west. Though the American dream was part of American culture from its beginning, the other one became the driving force of American culture in the second part of the twentieth century when Sam Shepard began his career as a playwright. During this time, American theater emerged into a main arena for the presentation of the American west. Nevertheless, Shepard attempted to avoid playing with the duality of reality and illusion in his presentation of the American west when he put forward his characters to face and experience the world to then discover their selves. At the pinnacle of his success, he wrote A Lie of the Mind, a play that is filled with heroines who would leave the violent world of men to change their destinies. As such, Shepard endeavored to free their selves and flow them to experience a new world. Likewise, Shepard’s contemporary American philosopher, Richard Rorty, believed in the importance of self and the necessity of its redescription to create his ideal society. However, hopeless to find a philosophy model, he lends to literature to find his liberal ironist. On this account, the following study is not only to provide Sam Shepard as a liberal ironist in Rorty’s term but also to reveal certain puzzling features in Shepard’s A Lie of Mind, not least of which is the reason why his female characters blow the world of the American west to search for a new world.
PARODY AND METAFICTIONALITY AS DEFAMILIARIZATION DEVICES IN MARTIN AMIS’S NOVEL
MONEY: A SUICIDE NOTE
Authors: Gami Loran
Published: August 2021

The article discusses the way defamiliarization is achieved in Martin Amis’s novel Money: A Suicide Note (1984) through parody, the comical perspective, and the metafictional elements. In the introduction the concept of defamiliarization is briefly explained while the first section describes the use of parody in the novel. Amis’s book parodies several literary techniques and is also a parody – as well as a critique – of the 1980s Britain and America, especially its consumerist ethos. By adopting a comical perspective, Amis creates a distancing effect between himself and the novel’s protagonist, John Self. He is an unreliable and unlikable narrator and often his description borders on the grotesque, which also adds to the defamiliarization effect. The metafictional elements in the novel, discussed in the second section, are also important and they contribute to the distancing effect, by defamiliarizing what is commonly expected from a work of fiction. One of the most important metafictional (or self-referential) elements is the inclusion of the author as a character in the novel. This technique encourages the reader to re-evaluate the relation the author has with their own work, which is now seen from a defamiliarized perspective

Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Worldwide, chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common causes of physical and psychological disabilities. The factors that affect low back pain (LBP) between Western and Eastern countries are different. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the factors associated with LBP and their impact in German and Thai CLBP participants. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 100 Thai and 100 German CLBP participants. Data were collected before the participants received treatment in the outpatient rehabilitation clinic. We used standardized questionnaires to assess the demographic and socioeconomic data, clinical features of the pain, the impact of pain during daily activities, and psychological consequences. RESULTS: We found a statistically significant difference between the two groups for minimal pain intensity (NRS German = 3.01, Thai = 1.83), and the participants’ acceptable pain intensity (NRS German = 1.97, Thai = 3.88). The German participants had a higher negative impact score in their daily living compared to the Thai participants (German = 23.5, Thai = 10). Also, the German participants suffered more often from depression (CES-D score; German = 17, Thai = 4). However, the average back pain intensity was the same for both groups. CONCLUSION: German CLBP participants had significantly more depressive symptoms and pain-related impairments compared to the Thai participants. On the other hand, there were no differences in maximum and average pain severities.
The effects of calf muscles fatigue on dynamic plantar pressure distribution in normal foot posture and flexible flatfoot: A case-control study
Authors: Kirmizi Muge , Sengul Yesim Salik , Angin Salih
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Flexible flatfoot is associated with altered plantar pressure distribution, but it is not clear how muscle fatigue affects plantar pressure characteristics in flexible flatfoot and normal foot. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of calf muscles fatigue on plantar pressure variables in flexible flatfoot and normal foot. METHODS: Twenty-five people with flexible flatfoot and twenty-five people with normal foot were included. The unilateral heel-rise test was used to induce calf muscles fatigue. Plantar pressure variables were collected during preferred walking immediately before and after fatigue. The two-way mixed-design ANOVA was used to determine the main effect of fatigue and the interaction between foot posture and fatigue. RESULTS: Fatigue caused medialization of the contact area under the forefoot and the maximum force under the heel and forefoot (p< 0.05). When examining the differences in the effects of fatigue between groups, the contact area under the medial heel increased with fatigue in flexible flatfoot but decreased in normal foot; moreover, the contact area and maximum force under the midfoot and the maximum force under the third metatarsal decreased with fatigue in flexible flatfoot but increased in normal foot (p< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Calf muscles fatigue caused medialization of the maximum force and contact area. Especially the midfoot was affected differently by fatigue in flexible flatfoot and normal foot.
Evaluation of the role of soluble B7-H3 in association with membrane B7-H3 expression in gastric adenocarcinoma
Authors: Huang Lili , Zhou Yan , Sun Qiuwei , Cao Lei , Zhang Xueguang
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND and OBJECTIVE: Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) is one of the most common malignancies. Increasing data have indicated a correlation between soluble B7-H3 (sB7-H3) levels and tumor malignancies. In this study, we aim to investigate the level of soluble B7-H3 in serum of GAC patients. Further, we analyze the correlation between sB7-H3 level and tissue B7-H3 expression and explore the clinical evaluation value of sB7-H3 associated with pathological characteristics and prognosis of GAC patients. METHODS: One hundred and twenty-eight serum and tissue samples of GAC, 20 serum and tissue samples of gastritis patients and 77 serum, 5 tissue samples of healthy controls were collected. The serum levels of sB7-H3 were detected by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), while the expression of membrane B7-H3 (mB7-H3) and Ki67 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The correlation between sB7-H3 and mB7-H3, sB7-H3 and Ki67, sB7-H3 or mB7-H3 and clinical features were analyzed by Pearson’s Chi-square test. RESULTS: Both serum level of sB7-H3 and tissue B7-H3 of GAC patients were significantly higher than those of gastritis patients and healthy controls. sB7-H3 level was correlated with total B7-H3 expression in tissues (r= 0.2801, P= 0.0014). Notably, the concentration of sB7-H3 was correlated with its expression of membrane form in tumor cells (r= 0.3251, P= 0.002) while not in stromal cells (r= 0.07676, P= 0.3891). Moreover, the levels of sB7-H3 in patients with TNM stage III/IV or with infiltration depth T3/T4 or with lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those of patients with TNM stage I/II (P= 0.0020) or with Infiltration depth T1/T2 (P= 0.0169) or with no lymph node metastasis (P= 0.0086). Tumor B7-H3 score, but not stromal B7-H3 score, in patients with TNM stage III/IV or with lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than those with TNM stage I/II (P= 0.0150) or with no lymph node metastasis (P= 0.182). CONCLUSIONS: Soluble B7-H3 level may reflect the tissue B7-H3 expression on tumor cells of GAC tissues. Elevated level of sB7-H3 in serum suggests poor clinical pathological characteristics of GAC patients.

In vitro detection of nanoparticle cytotoxicity based on big data technology
Authors: Li Xueping
Published: August 2021

Nanoparticles have been used in the cytotoxic test for many times because of their easy size control, good biocompatibility and other characteristics. Therefore, a method based on big data technology for the in vitro cytotoxic test of nanoparticles is proposed. The cells were evenly inoculated into 96 well plate, the prepared AuNPs was diluted with DMEM cell culture medium, and the cytotoxicity was divided into 5 levels by 5-point system. A database model of cytotoxic characteristics of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was built to mine the toxic characteristics of cultured cells. The results showed that when the diameter and size of AuNPs were 1.8 nm, the cytotoxicity rating was the highest, which was 4. When the diameters of AuNPs were 18 nm and 27 nm, the cytotoxicity rating was 0. When the high concentration DMEM solution of 90 μg/mL was used to treat AuNPs, the cytotoxicity reached the highest value, and the lowest activity was 12%. When the cells were treated with DMEM solution for 24 hours, the activity and toxicity of the cells were the least and the toxicity was the strongest, and the number of apoptosis in the cell community was significantly reduced under the action of AuNPs.
Applied mathematical analysis of organizational learning culture and new media technology acceptance based on regression statistical software and a moderated mediator model
Authors: Shen Qitaisong , Yang Zhexuan
Published: August 2021

In the hypercompetitive environment of the digital age, new media technologies are regarded as useful methods for improving organizational effectiveness and innovation. Using hierarchical regression equation and statistical software SPSS 22.0, this paper aims to explore the relationship between organizational learning culture and new media technology acceptance (NMTA), as well as the roles of organizational loyalty and personal innovativeness in state-owned companies. A total of 20161 valid questionnaires were collected for the final analysis. Based on a moderated mediator model and the bootstrapping method, the research indicates that there is a positive relationship between perceived organizational learning culture and NMTA. In addition, the effect of perceived organizational learning culture on NMTA is partially mediated by organizational loyalty. And personal innovativeness moderates the direct effect of perceived organizational learning culture on NMTA and indirect effect via organizational loyalty. The study offers implications for managers to promote the widespread use of new media technology in companies. Besides, this study provides new insights into the mechanism of new media technology adoption in state-owned companies by combining the perceived organizational level factors and personal trait.
A new approach for modeling COVID-19 death data
Authors: Farooq Muhammad , Qamar-uz-zaman  , Ijaz Muhammad
Published: August 2021

The Covid-19 infections outbreak is increasing day by day and the mortality rate is increasing exponentially both in underdeveloped and developed countries. It becomes inevitable for mathematicians to develop some models that could define the rate of infections and deaths in a population. Although there exist a lot of probability models but they fail to model different structures (non-monotonic) of the hazard rate functions and also do not provide an adequate fit to lifetime data. In this paper, a new probability model (FEW) is suggested which is designed to evaluate the death rates in a Population. Various statistical properties of FEW have been screened out in addition to the parameter estimation by using the maximum likelihood method (MLE). Furthermore, to delineate the significance of the parameters, a simulation study is conducted. Using death data from Pakistan due to Covid-19 outbreak, the proposed model applications is studied and compared to that of other existing probability models such as Ex-W, W, Ex, AIFW, and GAPW. The results show that the proposed model FEW provides a much better fit while modeling these data sets rather than Ex-W, W, Ex, AIFW, and GAPW.
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome with persistent neutropenia in neonate exposed to SARS-CoV-2 virus: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Diwakar K. , Gupta B.K. , Uddin M.W. , Sharma A. , Jhajra S.
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in Children (MIS-C) is a postinfectious immune mediated hyperinflammatory state seen in children and adolescent below 21 year of age and develop after 4–6 weeks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus -2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, however, it is rare in neonates. We report an extremely rare and first of its kind case of MIS-C in a neonate with persistent neutropenia. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 19-day old boy presented with complaints of fever and loose stools for 1 day and developed rash after admission. Baby was investigated for sepsis and commenced on IV antibiotics empirically. In view of persistent fever, diarrhoea, rash and absence of obvious microbial etiology of inflammation, with elevated inflammatory marker and an epidemiologic link to SARS-CoV-2 infection, the diagnosis of MIS-C-was made. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) was administered and defervescence occurred within 24 hours. He also developed neutropenia during course of illness which persisted on follow up. CONCLUSION: MIS-C in neonates is uncommon and fever with elevated inflammatory markers during COVID-19 pandemic should alert the pediatrician to the possibility of MIS-C. Neutropenia may be associated with MIS-C in neonates and warrants prolonged follow up.
Complaints about bullying at the workplace are related to fantasies of aggression in psychosomatic patientss
Authors: Noack Isabel , Linden Michael
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: The workplace can be associated with social stressors like vilification, humiliation, and breach of trust. A common emotional response is embitterment and aggressive behavior. OBJECTIVE: Aim of the study is to investigate the relation between work-related problems, including bullying, and fantasies of aggression. METHODS: Therapists of a department of behavioral medicine routinely had to fill in a diagnostic checklist whenever they saw signs of embitterment and/or aggression in their patients. The type of aggressive fantasies was categorized in no fantasy, minor harm, serious harm without bodily harm, or bodily harm. Independent of this interview, social workers assessed problems at work (duration of sickness absence, workplace insecurity, bullying at workplace, ability to work, expectation of pension). Patients were also asked to fill in an embitterment questionnaire and the Symptom-Checklist-90. Further sociodemographic and clinical information was taken from the hospital routine documentation. RESULTS: A total of 3211 patients were admitted to the hospital during the observation period. Therapists saw the indication for an in-depth interview because of aggressive fantasies in 102 (3.2%) patients. Aggressive ideations refer to “minor harm” in 27%, “serious harm” in 37%, and “bodily harm” in 35%of patients, respectively. There is a significant relation between the severity of aggressive ideations and bullying and duration of sick leave. There was also a significant correlation between ideas of aggression and feelings of embitterment. CONCLUSION: Aggressive ideations are interrelated with psychosomatic distress and workplace problems and feelings of embitterment.

Authors: KIRIŞ Gül , YILMAZ Demet
Published: August 2021

In order to reduce the requirement of waste eliminating and environmental pollution, recycling seems to be a suitable solution. In this study, polyester fibers with three different number of filament (36, 48 and 72 filaments) and two different fiber cross section form (round and plus) were spun from rPET polymer and texturised on an industrial scale. rPET yarns were used as a weft yarn in woven fabric production. Fabric performance properties such as weight, breaking, tearing and seam strength, breaking elongation, abrasion resistance and air permeability were analysed and compared with virgin PET fabrics. In literature, production of spun yarn with rPET fibers was widely studied due to the importance of recycling and usage of rPET fibers in the textile sector. With this study, it was provided to present various findings about the effect of different polymer type and rPET fiber properties on various woven fabric properties.

Published: August 2021

Wer Reformen im Gesundheitswesen auf den Weg bringen, verstehen oder umsetzen will, ist gut beraten, über den Tellerrand der nationalen Gesundheitspolitik hinauszuschauen. Denn: Ländervergleiche können zeigen, welche Erfahrungen mit Reformvorschlägen andernorts bereits gemacht worden sind. Und sie zeigen, wie ausgabenträchtig, wie patientenfreundlich, wie effizient, wie gerecht und wie gut auf Akutsituationen wie z.B. die Sars2-CoV19-Pandemie gerüstet ein Gesundheitssystem tatsächlich ist.

Geboten wird ein umfassender Überblick über die Strukturen der Gesundheitssysteme von über 30 Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union und der OECD. Die 4. Auflage liefert aktuellste Daten und Informationen über die Gesundheitspolitik dieser Länder. Verglichen werden Gesundheitsausgaben und Finanzierung, Strukturen der ambulanten und stationären Versorgung, Arzneimittelversorgung und Daten zur Effizienz, Qualität und Nutzerorientierung und somit zur Leistungsfähigkeit der Gesundheitssysteme. Ein weiteres Kapitel erklärt die Gesundheitspolitik auf europäischer Ebene und deren Einfluss auf das deutsche Gesundheitssystem. Mit vielen, ganz aktuellen Hinweisen und Tipps bietet das Buch außerdem wichtige Hilfestellungen zur weiterführenden Recherche sowohl für Studierende als auch für Lehrende und Praktiker aus dem Gesundheitswesen.

Published: August 2021

O presente estudo trata-se de uma análise comparativa do uso de concretos betuminosos: usinado a quente com aditivos surfactantes e pré-misturados a frio em operações de reparo localizado em pavimentos flexíveis, como tapa buraco e remendo. Para poder entender o processo é necessário começarmos pela compressão ao tema de pavimentos especialmente ao flexível. Visto que, por ser um dos mais frágeis, tende com maior facilidade ser exposto às deformações precisando de reparações e ações preventivas com mais frequência. O revestimento asfáltico mais comum na pavimentação flexível é o concreto betuminoso usinado a quente (CBUQ) que na execução de tapa-buracos é comumente utilizado com aditivo surfactante mudando sua trabalhabilidade permitindo aplicá-lo a freio. Esse produto tem grande durabilidade e resistência, podendo ser usado na reparação asfáltica em períodos de chuvas e o próprio tráfego contribui na compactação do produto. Outro concreto bastante utilizado nessa pavimentação é o pré-misturado a frio de baixo custo e sua produção tem um modo mais simples quando comparado ao CBUQ. A pesquisa será feita através de estudos de referências bibliográficas de autores e órgãos que abordam sobre o tema como José Tadeu Balbo, Cinthya Batista de Salles, DNIT e Liedi Légi Bariani Bernucci. O objetivo do estudo é analisar ambos os concretos betuminosos em suas características como fabricação, composição, aplicação, durabilidade e custo a fim de compreender qual garante melhor resultado em função da finalidade de aplicação.
