Authors: Fiorin Bruno Henrique , Costa Beatriz , Rezende Lucas Dalvi Armond , Aranha Alcy Leal , Barbieri Bruna Moraes , Sipolatti Walckiria Garcia Romero , Moreira Rita Simone Lopes
Published: September 2022

Objective: to identify the risk factors for surgical site infection in patients after heart procedure. Methods: integrative literature review by searching the Medical Literature Analyses and Retrieval System online, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Nursing Database. The search for the articles occurred during the month of February 2022. Results: 24 articles were eligible for the review. In all studies, the population was mostly male, aged between 51 and 70 years, who underwent elective myocardial revascularization surgery. The main comorbidities presented were diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity. The infection rates ranged from 2.4% to 38.9%, and the main pathogen identified was Staphylococcus aureus. Conclusion: the main comorbidities present in patients who manifested surgical site infection were diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and smoking. The risk factors were gender, age, and prolonged preoperative hospitalization. Antibiotic prophylaxis, trichotomy, nasal decolonization, and adequate skin antisepsis were the most adopted prophylactic measures. Contributions to practice: knowing the profile of patients who developed infection may favor planning risk control actions.
Ultrasound test for root wood elastomechanical characterization
Authors: Cavalcanti Nina Maria Ornelas , Goncalves Raquel , Brazolin Sergio , Bertoldo Cinthya , Ruy Monica
Published: September 2022

The objective of this study was to verify the applicability and preliminary results of an ultrasound methodology for the complete characterization of root wood. The tests utilized six species: Swietenia macrophylla, Gallesia integrifólia, Swietenia sp., Schinus molle, Handroanthus heptaphyllus, and Acrocarpus fraxinifolius. The results show expected elastic ratios between properties, indicating that although the properties can differ numerically from roots and other parts of the tree, the orthotropic wood behavior is maintained. The root densities were higher than those reported in the literature for trunk wood, but direct relationships among high density and stiffness or strength properties were not observed. The ultrasound tests allowed 12 elastic constants of root wood to be obtained and were feasible for root dimensions because only one specimen was required.
One-pot NaOH/urea pretreatment and saccharification of corn stover for fermentable sugar production
Authors: Zhu Qianqian , Wei Wei , Sun Jianzhong , Wang Qianqian
Published: September 2022

Conversion of lignocellulose into fermentable sugars and other chemicals usually requires multi-step unit operations, such as pretreatment, filtration/washing, and enzymatic saccharification and fermentation, which are the core steps responsible for increased operating expenses. A low-temperature NaOH/urea solution was shown to be an efficient cellulose solvent for overcoming the recalcitrance of lignocellulose by partially or fully converting rigid cellulose I crystallite into the more easily digestible cellulose II structure and by extracting a majority portion of the lignin and xylan from the lignocellulose. Higher yields of fermentable sugars were produced directly from corn stover in one vessel. This one-pot production of fermentable sugars was achieved via a combination process, including pretreatment with low-temperature NaOH/urea solution, pH adjustment, and enzymatic saccharification in a single reactor. This one-pot process liberated 86.3% of glucose and 71.3% of xylose in 24 h at an enzyme loading of 10 FPU/g and solid loading of 5%. Surfactant addition further enhanced enzymatic saccharification. The combination of low-temperature NaOH/urea pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification into a one-pot process is an efficient method for the conversion of lignocellulose into fermentable sugars suitable for conversion into fuels and other chemicals. Further studies related to lignin recovery and economical evaluation will be conducted.

WATER DEMAND AND ORGANIC FERTILIZATION IN PROTECTED PIMENTÃO CULTIVATION IN THE NORTH REGION OF BAHIA
 
 
 
 
 
2 ABSTRACT
 
The objective was to determine crop evapotranspiration (ETc), crop coefficient and water use efficiency for the production of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivated under two soil compounds in a protected environment. The experiment was conducted in Juazeiro-BA, from June to October 2019. The pepper was grown in pots, the design was randomized blocks, split plots, four irrigation depths were used (95, 100, 105 and 110% of ETc) and two levels of soil fertilization: A1 (25% manure and 75% soil) and A2 (40% manure and 60% soil), which were based on studies developed by Santana (2019). ETc was determined using two sets of constant water table lysimeters and the crop coefficient was determined from ETc and reference evapotranspiration. The total water demand of the crop for the A1 fertilization level was 527.3 mm and for that A2 was 395.7 mm. The maximum and minimum crop coefficients were respectively 0.78 and 0.23 for A2; 1.02 and 0.34 for A1. The A1 level of fertilization showed higher productivity and satisfactory conversion of water into fresh fruit mass.
 
Keywords: evapotranspiration, irrigation, crop coefficient.
Delivering a new helicopter base at Kai Tak for the Hong Kong Government Flying Service
Authors: Mak George , Lo Jeffrey , Lam Rom
Published: September 2022

An additional helicopter base has been built for the Government Flying Service at the former Kai Tak airport runway site in Hong Kong, China. The base allows high-rise development to take place at Tung Chung new town near the service’s existing base at Hong Kong International airport, which would have restricted emergency helicopter operations during poor weather. The project involved construction of a take-off and landing pad, parking bays and hangar for two helicopters, plus an office building for the flight planning centre and air command and control centre. This paper describes how use of an NEC contract helped ensure close collaboration between the employer and contractor, leading to timely completion with zero accidents despite restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
A mexikói osztrák önkéntes sereg magyarországi katonáinak életrajzi adattáráról a legújabb kutatási eredmények tükrében
Authors: Bobay István Zoltán
Published: September 2022

A szerző készülő doktori disszertációjának mellékleteként közölni tervezi a mexikói osztrák önkéntes sereg magyar honos katonáinak átfogó biográfiai adattárát. Ezen munka a néhai jeles történész, Tardy Lajos hagyatékára épül, aki az 1980-as években végzett mélyreható kutatásokat a bécsi hadilevéltárban a mexikói magyar önkéntesekre vonatkozóan, megkezdve a magyar katonák névsorának az összeállítását. A további feltárásokat és az anyagnak a feldolgozását azonban már nem tudta elvégezni 1990 januárjában tragikus hirtelenséggel bekövetkezett halála miatt, csupán egy részleges lista került leközlésre halálát követően a Hadtörténelmi Közleményekben. A Tardy család a szerzőre bízta e nagy volumenű kutatási anyag feldolgozását, melyhez a szerző hazai és amerikai levéltári kutatásokon felül 2018 márciusa és 2019 februárja között Mexikóban, az Instituto Dr. José María Luis Mora vendégkutatójaként végzett további levéltári adatgyűjtéseket. Jelenleg egy Klebelsberg Kuno-ösztöndíj segítségével a bécsi Österreichisches Staatsarchiv Kriegsarchiv tagintézményében őrzött törzslapok alapján a seregben szolgált magyar honos katonák teljes létszámának a felülvizsgálatát végzi. A tanulmányban e kutatási eredményeit ismerteti.
Hadifogság a Távol-Keleten: Az első világháborús távol-keleti hadifogság bemutatása Vándor Ferenc naplófeljegyzéseivel
Authors: Mati Márton
Published: September 2022

A munka olyan első világháborús szibériai hadifogolytáborokat mutat be, amelyeket az antanthatalmak és szövetségesei a bolsevikok elleni intervenció alkalmával foglaltak el. A régióban három olyan táborról tudunk, ahol a háború végső szakaszában az orosz őrséget a japán és az amerikai hadsereg váltotta le. A táborok felügyeletében bekövetkezett csere az ott raboskodó hadifoglyok életében jelentős változást eredményezett. A Szibéria távol-keleti részén működő hadifogolytáborokban a háború alatt és a fegyverszüneti időszakban egyes becslések szerint mintegy 12–15.000 magyar hadifogoly fordulhatott meg. E foglyok Vlagyivosztokon keresztüli hazaszállításáról és a szervezés viszontagságos körülményeiről Bonhardt Attila írt értekezést, azonban ő írásában csak marginálisan érintette a táborok működésének jellegét. A források szűkössége, illetve hiánya miatt a táborlakók mindennapi életének bemutatása meglehetősen nehéz feladat. 2018-ban a Közép- és Kelet-Európai Történelem és Társadalom Kutatásáért Közalapítvány gondozásában megjelent Vándor Ferenc addig ismeretlen első világháborús naplója. Vándor naplója a felhasználható források tárát tovább gyarapította, aminek köszönhetően további értékes ismeretekkel bővülhet a nagy háború alatt a hadifogságban raboskodó honfitársaink története.
Táborok népe – külföldi civilek magyarországi internálótáborokban az első világháború alatt
Authors: Somogyi László
Published: September 2022

Az I. világháború a háborús konfliktusok sorában az első olyan volt, amelyről kijelenthető, hogy magán hordozta a totális háború jegyeit. A világégés során nem csak a bevetett fegyverek, hadászati eljárások terén jelent meg sok újdonság. Az „újítások” közé tartozott – természetesen a hadifogság mellett – a nem harcoló tömegek koncentrált fogva tartása is, amely az internálásban öltött testet. Az internálás elsősorban az egymással hadiállapotba került országok azon civil állampolgárait sújtotta, akik a hadüzenetek pillanatában az ellenség földjén tartózkodtak. Őket – döntően a férfiakat – a hadviselő felek tömegesen zárták táborokba annak ellenére, hogy helyzetük a nemzetközi jog terén nem volt egyértelműen meghatározva. Az egész világra kiterjedő jelenség részeként Magyarországon a külföldi civilek őrzésére létrehozott csaknem tucatnyi internálótáborba és ún. koncentrálttelepekre több ezer, a monarchiával hadiállapotban lévő ország állampolgárai kerültek hosszabb-rövidebb időre. A tábori élet sokban hasonlított a hadifoglyokéhoz, mégis eltérő volt, ami a merőben új fogvatartási modell sajátosságaiból fakadt. A tanulmány olyan kérdésekre próbál választ találni, mint a magyarországi civil internálótáborok típusai, az internálás okai, az internálásra kerülő személyek köre, az internált lét sajátosságai, végül, de nem utolsósorban a civil internáltak megjelenése a háborús propagandában.
A Francia Idegenlégió magyar tagjai az 1940-es franciaországi hadjáratban
Authors: Bene Krisztián
Published: September 2022

A 2. világháború kitörése után több tízezer külföldi önkéntes jelentkezett a francia haderőbe. Egy részüket nemzeti alakulatok kötelékébe sorolták, másik részüket pedig az Idegenlégióba irányították, ahol hagyományos ötéves vagy a háború időtartamára szóló szerződéssel kezdhették meg katonai szolgálatukat. Ezeknek az önkénteseknek köszönhetően az Idegenlégió létszáma – amely a konfliktus előestéjén 22.000 fő volt – néhány hónap alatt 48.900 főre növekedett. Az újonnan jelentkezettek között viszonylag nagy számban voltak magyar állampolgárok is, de az ő számukra vonatkozóan a magyar szakirodalom (mivel francia kutatók nem foglalkoztak érdemben ezzel a kérdéssel) eltérő számokat adott meg – megbízható adatok híján elsősorban becslések alapján. Az elmúlt időszakban a francia és magyar katonai levéltárakban folytatott kutatások segítségével sikerült beazonosítani a háború kitörése és a fegyverszünet megkötése között a francia haderő soraiban szolgáló magyarok nagy részét. Tekintve, hogy az adatok szinte mindig tartalmazzák az alakulatok megnevezését is, amelyekhez a magyarokat osztották, az Idegenlégió kötelékében szolgálók száma (1.564 fő) is meghatározható. A harci cselekményekben való részvételük bemutatásán kívül egyéni életutak rekonstruálásával próbáljuk közreadni e speciális csoportnak a történetét, amely ez idáig ismeretlen volt a magyar és a francia történetírás számára is.
Józef Bem, a bécsi forradalom hőse
Authors: Kovács Balázs
Published: September 2022

Bem József személye nagy tiszteletnek örvend nemcsak a lengyel, hanem a magyar történetírásban is. Európa viharos évében több helyen megfordult. Az októberi bécsi forradalom során személyes kapcsolatba került a magyar ellenállás vezetőjével, Pulszky Ferenccel és Wargha Istvánnal. Tevékenységével bőségesen foglalkozott a lengyel, magyar és osztrák szakirodalom, mégis a Bécsbe, illetve Magyarországra érkezésével kapcsolatban voltak homályos pontok. Bécsi szerepvállalásának kezdetét október 14-re teszik. Kovács István Bemről szóló munkájában leírta, hogy érkezését Messenhauser főparancsnoki kinevezéséhez, október 12-hez kötik. Egy hírszerző szerint azonban már 10-én a leopoldstadti Fekete Sas fogadóban tartózkodott. Bem október 28-i sérülése után másnap közölte távozási szándékát. Pozsonyba minden bizonnyal már október 30-án megérkezhetett. November 3-án találkozott Kossuth Lajossal a pozsonyi Zöldfa fogadóban, de hogyan jutott ki az osztrák hadsereg által körülzárt Bécsből? Ezek közül számos kérdést tisztázott vagy pontosított nemrégiben Tomasz Szubert lengyel kutató bécsi haditörvényszéki iratok alapján. Előadásom további pontokon ígér pontosításokat, illetve helyesbítéseket Wargha István e célra még egyáltalán nem hasznosított haditörvényszéki kihallgatási jegyzőkönyvei alapján.

Published: September 2022

A tractor-operated automatic gun sprayer was developed for the cotton crop. The unit consists of frame structure, spray tank, horizontal triplex pump, control valves, spray gun nozzle, pressure gauge, strainer, hydraulic agitator and actuating mechanism. The power to drive the HTP pump was taken from the tractor power take off (PTO) through a belt and pulley. The actuating mechanism consists of motor and worm gear reduction. Two motors with 0.5 kW each (12 V dc) were used to provide oscillation motion to spray guns and motors get power from the tractor battery. The rotation angle of the spray gun is 30° horizontally. Provision was also made to fold the spray boom while in transport. The spray pattern could be adjusted based on the application of chemicals. This study was conducted to determine the suitable nozzle orientation (0, 15 and 30° downwards) to field crops. The orientation of the spray nozzle was maintained by using the metal protractor. The laboratory experiments were carried out by using the actual cotton plant. The best nozzle orientation for maximum droplet density and droplet size as 15° downward. Leaf hopper [Amrasca biguttula (Ishida)] and aphids [Aphis gossypii (Glover)] control in the cotton crop after 7th day of spraying dinotefuran insecticide from the automatic gun sprayer and conventional tractor-operated gun sprayer was 87, 86 and 58 %, and 50 %, respectively. The total cost required to fabricate the sprayer was US$ 1008. The cost of operation of the tractor operated automatic gun sprayer was found to be US$ 4.7/ ha.
FRANCHISING AND RESTRAINTS OF TRADE – RESTRAINING EX-FRANCHISEES FROM COMPETING WITH THE FRANCHISE NETWORK
Authors: TA Woker
Published: September 2022

Franchising is a method of expanding a business that allows one (the franchisor) who has developed a successful product or service to increase his distribution network through the investment of others (franchisees) who want to own their own businesses. The relationship between the franchisor and his franchisees is extremely complex but at present it is treated as a normal commercial business transaction. Such an approach fails to take into consideration the entire commitment structure that underlies the franchise network. I have examined this in the light of certain cases dealing with restraints of trade and suggest that there is a need to develop a distinct body of law designed specifically to deal with franchising.

VARIATION AND RESCISSION OF ARBITRATION AWARDS AND RULINGS IN TERMS OF SECTION 144 OF THE LABOUR RELATIONS ACT
Authors: Erna Loock  , Coen de Kock
Published: September 2022

Section 144 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 provides for the rescission and variation of arbitration awards. Two schools of thought have emerged from the Labour and Labour Appeal Court judgments dealing with rescission. This is to a large extent attributable to the similarity of the wording of section 144 and the wording of Rule 42(1) of the Uniform Rules of Court. The first view is that a wide meaning should be given to section 144. This approach requires a reasonable explanation and a bona fide defence on the merits of the matter. The second view is that a narrow interpretation should be applied and that a reasonable explanation and a bona fide defence are not relevant to applications for rescissions in terms of section 144(a). This approach requires that the application should be founded on one of the specific grounds stated in section 144(a) and on those grounds alone. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, but both the Labour and Labour Appeal Courts have indicated that the narrow approach would be the correct one to follow.
FROM BANTU DIVORCE COURTS TO DIVORCE COURTS: A SUCCESSFUL EXERCISE IN LEGAL TRANSFORMATION
Authors: Deon Erasmus
Published: September 2022

In order to establish Family Courts in South Africa, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development established a Family Court Task Team in 1997. During September 1998 a Family Court Pilot Project was launched by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development to serve as test sites for possible nation-wide implementation. This project flowed from the “Justice Vision2000” national strategy. The aim of the project was to make justice accessible to families in urban, rural and even isolated communities, by providing co-ordinated and integrated family services to all parties involved in family law disputes under one roof. The establishment of Family Courts was motivated by the following aims: to afford wide and specialized protection and help to the family as a fundamental unit in society, to bring about access to justice for all in family disputes, and to improve the quality andeffectiveness of service delivery in this area (Chaskalson Family Courts 4). With the formation of the Family Court Pilot Project, the vision of the project was defined as to establish a court structure which has its own identity, is accessible to the community, sensitive to the needs of the community, operating according to simple procedures, offering counselling and mediation support services and providing a quality service in a pleasant and user-friendly environment. With its formation, it was envisaged that each Family Court Centre will have two components, the support service and the litigation component. The family support service provides support to the family and encompasses alternative ways to resolve disputes without parties appearing in court, such as counseling and family group conferencing. The litigation component offers services ranging from maintenance, domestic violence, Children’s Court, deceased estates, Family Advocate services, divorces and a help desk. The Divorce Courts form an integral and important part of the FamilyCourt Pilot Project. These courts were originally instituted in 1929 to entertain divorce actions between black people. These so-called Black Divorce Courts were established under section 10 of the Black Administration Act (38 of 1927) and the Black Administration Amendment Act (9 of 1929).
TO DEVELOP OR NOT TO DEVELOP THE CUSTOMARY LAW: THAT IS THE QUESTION IN BHE
Authors: Elmarie Knoetze  , Morné Olivier
Published: September 2022

The decision of the Constitutional Court in Bhe v Magistrate, Khayelitsha, Shibi v Sithole, South African Human Rights Commission v President of the Republic of South Africa (2005 1 SA 580 (CC)) refers. In this important decision, the Constitutional Court in its majority judgment, delivered by Langa DCJ, struck down the male primogeniture rule in the customary law of succession as unconstitutional. In considering the various remedies available to the court, it chose not to develop the offending customary law rule in terms of section 39(2) of the Constitution. In his minority judgment Ngcobo J, however, did opt for the development of the customary law, as ameans to prevent the (permanent?) abolition of the rule. In this discussion the court’s different approaches to the question whether or not to develop the customary law of succession will be assessed, with a view to placing into perspective the court’s approach to the application of the Bill of Rights to customary law generally. A discussion of the constitutional viability of the male primogeniture rule, as well as the relation between the particular facts of Bhe and the rule, falls outside the scope of this discussion. Of particularimportance is our viewpoint that, whereas at a cursory glance the decision seems to impact significantly on the constitutionality of a particular customary rule only (that is, the male primogeniture rule), it has more significant and far-reaching implications for the recognition and application of customary law as a system generally.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE CRIME OF HOUSEBREAKING WITH INTENT
Authors: Jolandi le Roux
Published: September 2022

Housebreaking with intent to commit a crime consists of unlawfully and intentionally breaking into and entering a building or structure, with the intention of committing a crime inside. The crime of housebreaking with intent was unknown in Roman-Dutch law and became part of South African criminal law through the strong influence of the English law crimes of burglary and housebreaking. The legal interests protected by this crime are the undisturbed habitation of one’s dwelling and undisturbed storage of one’s property. Interesting decisions were recently handed down on both (attempted) housebreaking simpliciter and the contentious crime of housebreaking with the intent to commit an offence unknown to the prosecutor. These recent decisions form the subject of this note.
CHARITY BEGINS – BUT DOES NOT END – AT HOME Khosa v Minister of Social Development; Mahlaule v Minister of Social Development 2004 6 BCLR 569 (CC)
Authors: Letlhokwa George Mpedi
Published: September 2022

Social assistance has emerged, within a broader social security system, as an important part of those measures that prevent and/or alleviate destitution in South Africa. Social assistance, as defined by the Committee of Inquiry into a Comprehensive System of Social Security for South Africa (Committee of Inquiry into a Comprehensive System of Social Security for South Africa Transforming the Present – Protecting the Future: Consolidated Report (2002) 36), means “state-provided basic minimum protection to relievepoverty, essentially subject to qualifying criteria on a non-contributory basis”. In April 2004, more than 7.9 million people were reported to benefit from the social grants (National Treasury (Republic of South Africa) Trends in Intergovernmental Finances: 2000/01-2006/07 (2004) 74). In most instances, predominantly in black households, grants (especially old-age grants) are the only family income. Old-age grants in particular are used not only to see the elderly through their old-age, but they also stretch far beyondthat to cater for the needs of the family. This important scheme, particularly its scope of coverage, has been a source of recent social security law debates. Central to these debates was the issue of non-citizens’ (non-)entitlement to the same social assistance benefits as citizens. This subject has no clear-cut answer(s).
Distinct perivillious fibrin deposition and evidence of persisting positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR in placental tissue after COVID-19 Infection in the second trimester
Authors: Beda Hartmann , Lisa Rindler , Selma Hoenigschnabl
Published: September 2022

Background: The effects of Coronavirus disease 2019 in women during the second trimester of pregnancy and the health of the fetus, remain very poorly explored. This report describes a case in which the normal development of pregnancy was complicated immediately after the patient had experienced COVID-19 at the 21st week of gestation. Specific conditions included critical blood flow in the fetal umbilical artery, fetal growth restriction and hydramnios in the 25th week of gestation. After informed consent, we decided just to wait and interrupted all examinations (CTG, Ultrasound) because of the high risk of severe adverse events at such an early premature birth. The patient finally delivered a healthy boy in the 39th week of gestation. Methods: We performed a histological examination of the placenta and analyzed the placenta for the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) through molecular and immunohistochemical assays and measured the fetal antibody response in the blood to this infection. Results: In the immunohistochemical examination with antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 a partial positivity in the villious throphoblastic epithel cells could be demonstrated. The PCR swab of the placenta which was obtained was positive for SARS-CoV-2 with a crossing threshold value of 22,8. The histological examination of the placenta showed a Massive Perivillous Fibrinoid Deposition (MPFD) with multiple focal placental infarctions in the intervillious space, intervillious thrombus, and a localized chorangiomatosis. Conclusion: According to many clinical and laboratory findings in this patient, the histopathological features and viral infection of the placenta suggest a prominent role for COVID-19 in this patient’s presentation. This is highlighted by the presence of levels of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. In this patient, an infection with Sars-CoV-2 might have caused the development of the MPFD. These findings suggest that COVID-19 may have contributed to placental dysfunction and fetal growth retardation. Also with a SARS-CoV-2 PCR test with a crossing threshold value of 22,8, it must be assumed that the placenta has been potentially infectious.

Planning healthier cities is essential for public health. However, there is a gap between the insights from public health research and applications to planning practice. Based on a scoping review and in cooperation with urban planners and public health professionals, this study developed evidence-based tools and a comprehensive approach to help urban planners integrate health into the urban master plan (2017–2020) of a medium-sized city named Vic (Barcelona). The scoping review included a systematic review of the literature (PubMed, PRISMA protocol) and an advanced Google search for gray literature (2015–2017). The systematic review identified significant associations between urban planning attributes (n = 16) and health outcomes (n = 21). After critical appraisal with stakeholders, an urban and health association matrix was developed to help urban planners understand the connection between urban planning and health. The advanced Google search identified urban planning actions (n = 117) that had an impact on health outcomes. After critical appraisal with stakeholders, a healthy urban planning actions checklist (n = 68) was developed to help urban planners’ decision-making on the inclusion of locally tailored health-enhancing urban planning actions into the urban master plan. From the reviewed evidence and tools, a comprehensive approach delineated a series of steps that successfully led urban planners to incorporate health-enhancing urban actions (n = 112) into the urban master plan. This translational research developed a comprehensive approach to include health in local urban planning. This might scale up to other European medium-sized cities to maximise the effectiveness of built environment interventions and monitor their health impact.

Purpose: There are not enough studies evaluating the change in electrolytes and hormones in patients with sepsis. The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between the changes in serum calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and mortality in patients with sepsis.
Materials and Methods: Our study was conducted on patients with sepsis who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) between October 2017 and January 2019. The levels of Ca, Mg, P, 25(OH)D and PTH, together with demographic and clinical characteristics of non-survivor and survivor patients, were compared.
Results: A total of 225 patients were enrolled into the study. Of the 225 patients, 94 patients (41.2%) died and 131 patients (58.8%) were discharged. PTH and P levels were found to be significantly higher, and 25(OH)D, Ca, and Mg levels were significantly lower in non-survivor patients than in survivor patients.
Conclusions: During sepsis, the change in Ca metabolism which is in a delicate balance, in the direction of hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hyperphosphatemia, low 25(OH)D and high PTH were found to be associated with mortality.

La clasificación postural es fundamental de cara a realizar un correcto seguimiento del estado postural en personas mayores. Este seguimiento, además de aportar información continuada a los especialistas sanitarios, puede servir para prevenir trastornos musculoesqueléticos. En este trabajo, se presenta el análisis del número de sensores de un dispositivo de monitorización postural portable compuesto por 16 sensores FSR. Con ello, se busca reducir el coste computacional a la hora de realizar la clasificación, simplificando el modelo y aumentando la autonomía. Para ello, se aplica una metodología basada en dos pasos: 1) Calcular el orden de relevancia de los sensores, mediante Random Forest y ReliefF. 2) Seguir un proceso iterativo de entrenamiento para dos modelos de clasificación basados en SVM y KNN. En cada iteración se aumenta en uno el número de sensores introducidos como entrada, estudiando cómo afecta este número en el desempeño final de los modelos. Los resultados demuestran que un número de 5 sensores es suficiente para lograr porcentajes de acierto superiores al 90 %.
Restoring a near anatomical hip joint in an 18 year old neglected hip fracture dislocation – A rare case report
Authors: Mukherjee Kaustav , Raja Dorai Kumar
Published: September 2022

Long standing neglected traumatic hip fracture dislocation is a rare clinical condition. Obliteration of the native acetabulum, soft tissue contractures, loss of femoral head congruity and associated hip fractures make this condition challenging to treat.

We discuss a case of a middle-aged male presenting to us with pain, shortening and inability to bear weight on left lower limb for last 15 years. Clinical examination revealed an adduction deformity over the left hip, a globular swelling in the left gluteal region and a fixed equinus deformity over left ankle. Movements at the left hip hinted at restricted internal rotation and flexion. Pelvis radiographs revealed a neglected posterior hip dislocation with ipsilateral femur neck non union. Patient underwent initial upper tibial traction for 8 weeks followed by a hybrid Total Hip Arthroplasty. Postoperatively intensive physiotherapy was continued and with correction of the ankle equinus patient was able to ambulate. On five years follow-up, the patient was mobilizing independently, pain-free with a mild short limb gait and some residual foot drop.

Treatment of neglected hip fracture dislocation can be challenging. Associated economic restraints may hinder clinicians from higher imaging and make the treatment even difficult. However, an anatomical reconstruction of hip by a total hip arthroplasty has yielded good functional outcomes in long standing neglected dislocations.’

Published: September 2022

The microwave convective dryer integrated photovoltaic has the potential equipment to be used for coffee drying. Therefore, this study aims to examine the performance of microwave convective dryer integrated photovoltaic for coffee bean drying. The kinetics and effectiveness diffusivity were determined to describe the drying process”. Drying model for the coffee bean drying process using variations in sample mass, coffee bean condition, and drying power. The results showed that reducing the water content of coffee beans from 47% (wb) to 11% (wb) required drying times of 10, 8, and 6 minutes at 600 W (medium), 650 W (medium-high), and 700 W (high), respectively. Drying coffee beans with a microwave convective dryer system shows that the Wang and Singh model is the best model for drying coffee beans; resulting in the highest R2 (0.99) and the lowest MBE and RMSE. Therefore, Wang and Singh model can be used to accurately predict the moisture content of dry coffee beans in a microwave convective dryer system. The effective diffusivity of coffee beans increased from 3.19×10-7 m/s to 1.19×10-6 m2/s when the power drying increased from 600 W to 700 W.

This study demonstrates the behavior of a flat slab experimentally and numerically with two different types of shear reinforcements. Ten slabs were cast and tested in the experimental part. The samples were divided into two groups; the first consists of steel fiber, and the second has no steel fiber. Two control samples were considered with only flexural reinforcement, while the other eight samples had two types of shear reinforcement; the first was rebar to form a Y-shape, while the other was a steel plate formed as a Y-type perfobond. Shear reinforcement is provided by employing radial and parallel shear reinforcement. The tested samples in the experimental part have been simulated numerically using the Abaqus/CAE program. As a result of the laboratory examination, it was determined that the addition of steel fibers increased the ultimate load by (7.4% to 20.58%) for models with steel fibers compared to models without steel fibers. It was determined that the presence of steel plates in the models increased their capacity by 2.4% for ultimate load and by (6% to 50%) for deflection compared to ultimate load and deflection in models with steel bars. In Abaqus, the models with steel fibers were found to be 12.7%-26.6% stronger than those without them.

Background: Noise is one of these factors and it is considered as a concern through the world. The purpose of this study is to provide information about the rate of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) among workers in one of the cement.
Methods: 283 workers were randomly selected from different production units in a cement factory. Equivalent Sound Level (Leq) was measured by using a Casella CEL-320 ‎ dosimeter and Sound Pressure Level (SPL) was measured by using a TES-1358 sound level meter (SLM) (sn: 090717269), with high accuracy. Audiometric tests were conducted by using an AVA C88 audiometer. Collected data were analyzed by using SPSS.16 software and statistical tests.
Results: The mean Hearing threshold limit (HTLs) ‎ at frequencies (3 and 4 KHZ) in the study group is significantly higher than the control group (P <0.001). There was a significant difference between the mean HTLs in the left and right ear at all frequencies, except for the frequency of 500 HZ. At higher frequencies (3-8 KHZ), the difference between the mean HTLs ‎ in both ears is more evident and it has significantly increased, compared to lower frequencies (0.5-2 KHZ).
Conclusion: Long-term occupational exposure to noise has the potential to cause hearing loss in cement factory workers. Therefore, it is necessary to perform effective measures, such as utilizing technical and engineering techniques and procurement and effective use of hearing protection devices in order to prevent the prevalence of hearing loss in units with high exposure risks.

Published: September 2022

Background & Objective: The cesarean section increases worldwide and has many side effects, including acute pain. This study investigated the relationship between physical activity during pregnancy, analgesic consumption, and maximal postoperative pain in women with low segment cesarean section.
Materials & Methods: 340 Cesarean section women were interviewed by demographic and global physical activity questionnaires during the pre-operative visits. The participants were categorized into high, moderate, and low physical activity groups (high PA, moderate PA, low PA, respectively) according to the global physical activity questionnaire guidelines. The maximal postoperative pain (MPP), the type, and doses of analgesia used/2 days were recorded. Pearson correlation, Chi-square, and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data.
Results: MPP was reduced in the high PA group (5.48 ±1.72) compared to the moderate (6.46±1.30) and low PA groups (6.97±1.92; p<0.0005, p<0.0005, respectively). There was a difference between the moderate and low PA groups (p=0.04). Paracetamol was the common analgesic without significant difference among groups (p=0.37). The numbers of paracetamol doses significantly reduced in the high PA group (3.31±1.65) compared to the low PA group (4.03±2.01, p=0.01). MPP had a significant and low negative correlation with total physical activity (r=-0.25, p=0.0005). There was a negative significant correlation between occupation (r=-0.491, p=0.0005), recreational (r=-0.262, p=0.0005), and travel activities (r=--0.150, p=0.006) with MPP. There was a low positive correlation between sedentary activity and MPP (r=0.23, p=0.0005).
Conclusions: Maternal physical activity can be a non-pharmacological and cost-effective method of pain management.
