Published: October 2022

Comumente projetos de Habitação de Interesse Social possuem estigmas por apresentarem problemas relacionados à eficiência energética e ao conforto ambiental. O objetivo do trabalho consistiu em verificar o desempenho de iluminação natural no apartamento considerado como crítico do Conjunto Serra Verde, Belo Horizonte (MG). O projeto do empreendimento foi desenvolvido a partir de projeto arquitetônico pré-estabelecido pela Prefeitura Municipal de Belo Horizonte modificado em processo de autogestão coordenado por um grupo de profissionais da PUC-Minas e com participação popular para torná-lo mais flexível aos moradores. O trabalho compreendeu três etapas: definição do apartamento crítico; simulação dinâmica da iluminação natural; análise dos resultados a partir de normas de desempenho e métricas de iluminância natural. Pôde-se verificar que as normas de iluminação brasileiras se preocupam com o mínimo de luz necessário, mas não com um máximo e que tal pode implicar em um aumento de consumo de energia elétrica para suprir o desconforto térmico causado pela demasiada entrada de radiação solar. Conclui-se ainda que é possível, através de um processo de autogestão realizar projetos com participação dos usuários que apresentem boa qualidade e que levem em conta as singularidades territoriais, em alternativa ao modelo básico de reprodução utilizado em boa parte do país.

Published: October 2022

O conceito de energia zero aplicado a edificações militares é uma opção excelente para atender às demandas energéticas do meio militar e de redução do alto consumo das edificações. As edificações do Exército Brasileiro devem ser classificadas com nível A na Etiqueta Nacional de Conservação de Energia. A geração distribuída tem crescido no Brasil, com grande participação dos sistemas fotovoltaicos. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o projeto de uma edificação militar do Exército Brasileiro para transformá-la em Edificação de Energia Zero (EEZ) com sistemas fotovoltaicos para compensar a demanda reduzida de energia. O método de simulação computacional da INI-C foi aplicado no DesignBuilder e as estimativas de geração do sistema fotovoltaico foram obtidas no programa SAM (System Advisory Model). O projeto da edificação obteve classificação nível A, com 59,5% de redução do consumo em relação à edificação de referência. Os sistemas fotovoltaicos analisados (cSi e CdTe) atenderam a demanda anual com valores de produtividade de 1.571 kWh/kW e 1.586 kWh/kW e de Performance Ratio (PR) de 0,79 e 0,80, respectivamente. A análise de otimização da orientação da edificação resultou em pequeno impacto no consumo energia; entretanto, na geração fotovoltaica o impacto foi considerável, uma vez que na orientação otimizada a geração foi 11,3% maior. 2 Produto de disciplina – Finalizado

Published: October 2022

A cobertura verde vem ganhando espaço na construção com finalidade de sustentabilidade, promovendo vários benefícios ambientais, térmicos e estéticos. Dentro das técnicas construtivas do telhado verde é possível identificar duas principais, o telhado verde extensivo e o intensivo. O telhado verde é formado por várias camadas e cada uma tem influência direta nos resultados. Alguns dos elementos mais relevantes são, por exemplo, a espessura e conteúdo de umidade no substrato de terra. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a importância destes dois parâmetros no desempenho térmico de uma cobertura verde. Para os estudos foram utilizadas duas alturas diferentes de substrato e o uso ou não de irrigação, foi também utilizado um modelo para comparação de fibrocimento. Ao escolher Santa Maria como cidade para simulação, foi obtida uma amplitude térmica significativa entre a semana mais fria e a mais quente. Nos resultados observou-se que o uso do telhado verde intensivo e com sistema de irrigação apresentou melhores resultados em comparação as outras quatro opções simuladas.
INFLUÊNCIA DA TRANSMITÂNCIA TÉRMICA DE SUPERFÍCIES OPACAS NO DESEMPENHO DE UM EDIFÍCIO NATURALMENTE VENTILADO COM ALTA OCUPAÇÃO
Authors: Goulart Mariana Fortes , Labaki Lucila Chebel
Published: October 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o impacto da superfície opaca externa de um edifício naturalmente ventilado e com alta carga térmica interna no desempenho térmico desses ambientes. Como método, utilizou-se o estudo de caso para avaliar um edifício escolar de ensino superior público, em Campinas, SP. Uma parte do edifício foi modelada no programa de simulação computacional termo energética, EnergyPlus e, após, foram criados cinco casos variando as paredes externas. Os tipos de vedação escolhidos foram: concreto maciço de 10cm; bloco de concreto aparente (caso existente); tijolo cerâmico rebocado; fachada dupla (revestimento cerâmico externo); fachada dupla com isolante na câmara de ar. Os resultados mostraram que a parede com menor transmitância (U=0,71) apresentou o maior ganho térmico no espaço analisado para o clima de Campinas. Isso pôde ser explicado devido à alta densidade de ocupação e a pouca ventilação no recinto. O uso de ventilação noturna pode ser uma estratégia para melhorar o desconforto por calor nesses tipos de ambiente. O trabalho sugere que, em normas futuras, se estabeleçam limites máximos e mínimos da transmitância das paredes, dependendo do uso e do tipo de ventilação.
VERIFICAÇÃO AUTOMÁTICA DE REQUISITOS DE PROJETOS DE SAÍDAS DE EMERGÊNCIA COM USO DE BIM E PROGRAMAÇÃO VISUAL
Authors: Barbosa Amanda , Costa Dayana
Published: October 2022

O processo tradicional de conferência do projeto frente às regulamentações, por ser manual e depender unicamente dos conhecimentos dos profissionais envolvidos, demanda muito tempo e é bastante suscetível a erros. A verificação dos requisitos de segurança contra incêndio em específico é uma das mais complexas, dada a grande quantidade de normas e Instruções Técnicas em vigor nessa área. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho é avaliar o uso de BIM e programação visual aplicados à verificação automática de requisitos de projetos de saídas de emergência, segundo a Instrução Técnica Nº 11 do Corpo de Bombeiros Militar do Estado da Bahia. Foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso no qual foram selecionados sete requisitos da Instrução Técnica Nº 11 para serem convertidos em linguagem de programação visual. Através das rotinas criadas, as regras foram verificadas em dois modelos BIM. Os resultados das verificações foram gerados automaticamente em Excel e, por fim, as rotinas foram avaliadas quanto a sua utilidade e aplicabilidade. As ferramentas mostraram grande potencial para tornar o processo de verificação de requisitos normativos em projetos mais rápido e confiável, diminuindo o esforço manual empregado e podendo ser uma aplicação promissora a ser expandida para a verificação de outras normas técnicas.

Published: October 2022

Erros de projeto podem comprometer seriamente a segurança e contribuir para falhas em projetos de construção. Tais falhas podem ter consequências econômicas, ambientais e sociais. Muitas dessas falhas são identificadas somente durante a construção, gerando retrabalhos, sobrecustos e atrasos. Se detectadas ainda na fase de projeto, as falhas podem ser mitigadas e suas consequências, evitadas. Neste sentido, o Building Information Modelling (BIM) desempenha um papel importante na análise de construtibilidade e na eliminação de atividades que não agregam valor, princípio da filosofia lean. Pretende-se, neste artigo, verificar como a modelagem da informação vem contribuindo para a construtibilidade dos projetos e na implantação da produção enxuta nas obras, concomitantemente. Com esse objetivo, foi realizada revisão bibliométrica integrativa (método de Botelho, Cunha e Macedo (2011)), com consulta a bases internacionais, sendo obtidas oitenta e sete publicações científicas relacionadas. Utilizando o portfólio bibliográfico formado, definiu-se variáveis bibliométricas sobre o tema de pesquisa e foram obtidas as interseções entre as abordagens de otimização de projeto (lean/construtibilidade) e o BIM.

Este artigo analisa os efeitos da localização, gestão e manutenção dos equipamentos do Parque Olímpico do Rio de Janeiro, em seus usos no período pós-jogos, através de funcionários e usuários do Parque. Foram considerados os equipamentos classificados como permanentes e construídos exclusivamente para as Olimpíadas de 2016, nomeadamente: Velódromo, Centro de Tênis e Arenas Cariocas 1, 2 e 3. Os dados foram coletados através de 24 entrevistas estruturadas, sendo 20 com usuários e quatro com funcionários do Parque Olímpico. Os usuários foram entrevistados no Centro de Tênis e na Arena Carioca 1 em dias de evento e na academia localizada na Arena Carioca 3. Os funcionários foram entrevistados nos equipamentos do Parque Olímpico pelos quais eram responsáveis, durante os dias de semana em horário comercial. Mediante autorização dos participantes, as entrevistas foram gravadas e, posteriormente, transcritas. Os dados foram analisados de acordo com a frequência, o significado e a importância dos pontos mencionados pelos entrevistados. Os resultados evidenciam que a disponibilidade de transporte público e avenidas adequadas reduz problemas gerados pela distância entre os equipamentos e o local de moradia dos usuários e que a gestão pública parece favorecer o uso dos equipamentos por pessoas com menor poder aquisitivo.

Published: October 2022

Resumo: A boa gestão dos recursos públicos é de fundamental importância para o bem-estar social e dinamismo da atividade econômica. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é verificar se a boa gestão fiscal de determinado município, medido pelo IFGF, afeta o nível de atividade econômica dos municípios vizinhos, medido pelo PIB percapita. Para isso, foi utilizada a análise exploratória de dados e a análise espacial bivariada local das variáveis para os anos de 2006 e 2014. Os resultados apontam para a existência de autocorrelação positiva. Sendo assim, foi possível observar que uma boa gestão dos recursos afeta positivamente o nível de atividade econômica do próprio município e, por efeitos de difusão espacial e transferência de renda, afeta positivamente o nível de atividade econômica dos municípios vizinhos, corroborando a teoria de Hirschman sobre os efeitos de transbordamento das economias regionais e dos efeitos espaciais.

The quality methods of budget planning are an essential part of contemporary concepts on which should be based budget process. The question of innovation of these methods is, therefore, quite actual and it is located in the focus of the author of the study. Improving the processes to increase efficiency and rationality of budgetary decisions is a permanent requirement that arising from the need to seriously address the problem in solving excessive public spending, as the main generator of crises. At the same time, the states should reduce the space for bringing short-term and isolated decisions on budgetary funds spending, without considering the real effects of their use. It is indisputable that the public sector should be more effective and in that regard, in most developed budgetary systems, is gradually improved a method of budget planning. Line-item (incremental) budgeting, as a simpler, more established and a routine method of allocation and use of budgetary funds is withheld in most budget systems. However, are visible shifts in the direction of the introduction of programme budgeting and performance budgeting, as advanced methods of budget planning.

Published: October 2022

Today, world practice shows that the formation of tourist clusters is one of the most effective ways not only to develop the territory for tourism purposes, but also to create unique conditions for the sustainable development of regional tourism in the long term. However, the process of cluster formation is quite complicated and necessitates the definition of clear mechanisms for integrating activities between tourism enterprises and state, educational, scientific and other public organizations involved in the cluster structure. Therefore, each country that implements the tourism clustering policy has developed its own experience in this area and creates a cluster based on the specifics of the relations formed between the local business community and the state. In this regard, the main purpose of writing this article is to review the foreign practice of clustering the tourism sector and identify the specific features of the various existing models of tourism clusters. From the scientific and practical point of view, the significance of the presented work is determined by identification of the distinctive properties of tourist clusters that contribute to a considerable increase in the attractiveness of the area for vacationers. As part of the study of the formation and development of tourist clusters in Europe, the USA and Asia, methods of comparative analysis, analogy and theoretical generalization were used.The value of study is that the results of study can be used as an information base in the course of determining the priorities for the development of tourism clusters in domestic practice.

Currently, in management practice, depending on the formation of a new paradigm, when it comes to the human capital of an organization, the concept of talent management is also used. Talent management as a tool for the formation of human capital must be characterized from a theoretical point of view and understand the strategic importance. The purpose of the study is to clarify and prove the essence and importance of talent management at the state level. Based on a literature review of foreign fundamental and applied research created so far, the definition of the basic concepts and systematization of the theoretical foundations are given. The necessity of a motivating system for professional growth aimed at attracting, developing and retaining (retaining) talented people is proved. The conclusions proposed by the authors increase the importance of introducing talent management in all sectors of the economy and in the field of education in particular. Considering that this trend changes depending on the requirements of the time, the results make a theoretical and practical contribution to the field of research. In the course of demonstrating the value for the state, an analysis of the rating compiled by the IMD (World Talent Ranking) institute at the world level was carried out. As a result, the peculiarity of talent management and its use in the process of forming a personnel reserve is proved. Based on the literature, factors affecting the level of staff engagement in the work in the talent management process have been identified.

Published: October 2022

The problem of structural changes in the economy is still urgent for a number of post-Soviet countries, including Kazakhstan. A country with huge reserves of resources has not yet moved away from the raw material orientation of development. The share of the manufacturing industry decreased drastic during the years of high economic growth (2000-2007). Even when the state has been providing substantial support in recent years, indicators such as labor productivity and the share of investments in the manufacturing industry have been declining. Therefore, research in the field of structural changes, from our point of view, does not lose relevance. One of the indicators of structural changes is the coefficient of elasticity of the growth of industries. The goal of the article was to analyze the elasticity of the growth of manufacturing industries in Kazakhstan from 1991 to 2020. The coefficient of elasticity of the growth of industries was calculated as the ratio of the growth of industries to the growth of industry as a whole. At the same time, the growth rate of industrial production and the growth rate of the manufacturing industry of Kazakhstan as a whole was taken into account. The category "industries with zero elasticity of growth" has also been added. Eventually, five categories are proposed. The authors have used the method of formal logic, comparative and factor analysis of indicators. In our opinion, the analysis shows changes in the relative dynamics of production growth in the manufacturing industries of Kazakhstan and could be used for further research in this area.

Published: October 2022

In the conditions of increasing competition in the technological sector of the economy and the intensification of innovation, innovative management tools are needed to facilitate the effective planning, organization, stimulation and control of the introduction and implementation of innovations in the resource regions of Kazakhstan. Consequently, new scientific approaches are required to manage the innovative development of the commodity region, which will increase the effectiveness of regional socio-economic systems.Currently, an advanced tool in the field of determining the territories of cluster localization is the model of “smart specialization”, which is a special scientific approach to the formation of regional clusters. The “smart specialization” model emphasizes the need to search for and select such spheres of activity which are capable of making the maximum contribution to the socio-economic development of the region by supporting and stimulating innovative research and development in the identified spheres of regional specialization. An important condition for regional economic progress is the identification of potential poles of innovative growth in the region based on the analysis of its own potential and best international practices. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the priority areas and develop methods, tools for managing the innovative development of resource regions of Kazakhstan on the basis of the model of “smart specialization” to create a new quality of economic growth of territories. The article analyzes the scientific literature and substantiates the priority, the effectiveness of applying the “smart specialization” model to the process of innovative development of the resource region. The methodological approaches (methodological principles, conditions, criteria, scenario variants, algorithm) of formation of rapidly developing sectors of economy of raw material region on the model of “smart specialization” are specified. The authors of the article specify the methodological tools, which will allow to carry out the choice of the most promising technologies for the formation of rapidly developing sectors of the economy of the commodity region.

Among the various Ras dravyas (mineral drugs), Abhraka Bhasma (incinerated mica ash) is widely used in therapeutics. Many herbal and other organic materials have been quoted in reference for various procedures in preparing Abhraka bhasma. It is wonderful that different pharmacological action has been attributed to different Dravyas used in the pharmaceutical processing of Abhraka Bhasma. However, to establish the safety of such metallic and mineral formulation it is the need of the hour to generate scientific data for such drugs. In the present study two samples of Abhraka Bhasma were prepared using two different methods. The safety profile of Abhraka Bhasma samples (AB-1 & AB-2) were evaluated by conducting acute and subacute toxicity study as per OECD Guidelines. Both acute and sub-acute toxicity study demonstrated safety of AB-1 and AB-2 when administered at therapeutic dose, TED X5 dose and TED X10 dose. Even though the sample AB-1 was prepared using a smaller number of Puta, it was sufficient for preparing good quality of Bhasma and was non-toxic

Published: October 2022

An acute respiratory disease, caused by a novel corona virus(SARS-CoV-2, previously known as 2019-nCoV), the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread worldwide and was officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization(WHO) on March 11,2020.Many patients with Covid-19 after making full recovery have a range of symptoms for weeks or months after infection, of a physiological or psychiatric nature. This Post-Covid condition is often called ‘Post-Covid Syndrome’, ‘Long Covid’ or Post-Acute Covid-19. Certain symptoms among Corona virus disease survivors such as Depression, Anxiety and Memory impairment may be related to psychological factors. In the Post-Covid psychological issues, Anxiety is a major complication of Covid-19 that may even exacerbate the infection course and the infection may intensify anxiety. Restrictions such as lockdown and social distancing are on ease throughout the globe, however some people find it difficult to re-adapt to normal life.Whether one has been infected with the virus or not, there are implications of the pandemic on our mental health. The destruction of a lifetime’s dedication to build up a small business that closed down during lockdown and not holding family members’ hands as they die add to physical and mental health impacts. Homoeopathic medicines are efficient in treating anxiety arising as a Post-Covid consequence without any side effects and complications. This review aims to analyze the Post-Covid Anxiety and the role of Homoeopathy in helping the survivors recover from such a sequel.

These decisions are part of sustainability activities for any company, Also, the profitability index is used in the comparison between long-term investment projects when the net present value criterion is positive for these projects, meaning that they are economically feasible, and it is necessary to choose some of them without the other.
Effect of Organic Waste Fertilizers on Growth and Development of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus)
Authors: Abdul Reeza Ameera , Azman Ummu Hanisah
Published: October 2022

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is an important vegetable crop grown with high demand and economic value. Thus, to improve the growth and development of okra, organic fertilizer can minimize inorganic fertilizer usage. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse for 6 weeks to compare the growth rate of okra between a combination of organic waste fertilizers and NPK fertilizer and to determine the most suitable organic waste fertilizer combination with NPK fertilizer for the growth and development of okra. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replications consisting of 5 treatments, where T0: no fertilizer, T1: NPK 12:12:17:2 (20 g), T2: NPK 12:12:17:2 (10 g) + vermicompost (25 g), T3: NPK 12:12:17:2 (10 g) + biochar (25 g), T4: NPK 12:12:17:2 (10 g) + chicken manure (25 g), respectively. Parameters assessed were plant height, number of leaves, chlorophyll content, number of fruits, fresh and dry weight, and soil pH. Results indicated that the growth and development of okra were significantly the lowest in T0 and T1 while the highest in T4. Okra in T4 showed the best performance by achieving the highest value for all parameters assessed after 6 weeks of planting. It can be deduced that NPK 12:12:17:2 (10 g) + chicken manure (25 g) might be the most suitable fertilizer combination to promote the higher growth of okra while reducing the dependency on inorganic compound fertilizers.

Authors: Melin Jan , Svensson Maria K. , Albinsson Bo , Winqvist Ola , Pauksens Karlis
Published: October 2022

Background: The hemodialysis (HD) population has been a vulnerable group during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Advanced chronic kidney disease with uremia is associated with weaker immune response to infections and an attenuated response to vaccines. The aim of this study was to study the humoral and cellular response to the second and third doses of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in HD patients and to follow the response over time.

Methods: The patients received their first two vaccine doses from 28 December 2020 within a 4-week interval and the third dose in September 2021 and were followed-up for humoral and cellular immune response at 1) 7–15 weeks and 2) 6–8 months after dose two (no t-cell reactivity measured), and 3) 3 weeks and 4) 3 months after dose three. Fifty patients were initially enrolled, and 40 patients were followed during the entire study. Levels of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) IgG antibody against the Spike antigen (anti-S) and T-cell reactivity testing against the Spike protein using Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSpot (ELISPOT) technology were evaluated.

Results: IgG antibodies to anti-S were detected in 35 (88%) of the 40 patients 7–15 weeks after vaccine dose two, 31 (78%) were positive, and 4 (10%) borderline. The median anti-S titer was 606 Abbott Units/milliliter (AU/mL) (interquartile range [IQR] 134–1,712). Three months after the third dose, anti-S was detected in 38 (95%) of 40 patients (P < 0.01 compared to after dose two), and the median anti-S titer was 9,910 AU/mL (IQR 2,325–26,975). Cellular reactivity was detected in 22 (55%), 34 (85%), and 28 (71%) of the 40 patients, and the median T-cell response was 9.5 (IQR 3.5–80), 51.5 (14.8–132), and 19.5 (8.8–54.2) units, respectively, for 6–8 months after dose two, 3 weeks, and 3 months after dose three.

Conclusions: Our data show that a third dose of SARS‑CoV‑2 BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine gives a robust and improved immunological response in HD patients, but a few patients did not develop any anti-S response during the entire study, indicating the importance to monitor the vaccine response since those who do not respond could now be given monoclonal antibodies if they contract a COVID-19 infection or in the future antivirals.

Frauditing & profiling: de mens maakt het verschil
Authors: den Hartigh Nicole
Published: October 2022

Fraude blijft organisaties wereldwijd treffen, ondanks de vele inspanningen om dit te voorkomen en te bestrijden. Daarbij leiden de rollen van de internal auditor en de externe accountant bij fraude al jaren tot een verwachtingskloof. Wat kan en mag het maatschappelijk verkeer redelijkerwijs van u verwachten? Om die kloof te helpen overbruggen, is het in ieder geval van belang dat u weet wat uw rol is, waar kwetsbaarheden zitten, maar ook sleutels tot succes. Omdat het altijd mensen zijn die stoute of strafbare dingen doen, en het ook mensen zijn die dergelijke kwesties onderzoeken, is beïnvloeding van menselijk gedrag sinds 2014 onderdeel van de Frauditing-aanpak en het onderliggende beheersingsmodel. Het juist kunnen interpreteren van lichaamstaal en daarop tijdig anticiperen (profiling), is een recente ontwikkeling te noemen die een meer precieze invulling geeft aan die specifieke beheersingsfase. Het voorspellende karakter van profiling geeft voorsprong bij dit actuele beheersingsvraagstuk. In dit artikel komen verschillende profiling-disciplines aan de orde.
Auditing: inspiratie voor innovatie vanuit de sociale wetenschappen
Authors: van Twist Mark , de Korte Ron
Published: October 2022

Vooral mensen van buiten het vakgebied associëren auditing doorgaans met een specifieke verschijningsvorm van toetsend onderzoek, of dat nu terecht is of niet. Kenmerkend voor dat type onderzoek is dat een praktijksituatie wordt geconfronteerd met een norm, om zo tot een oordeel te kunnen komen. Zo’n nogal beperkte en begrensde interpretatie van de auditprofessie doet natuurlijk geen recht aan de beroepspraktijk, waarin gelukkig vaak ook (en steeds meer) ruimte is voor heel andere typen onderzoek. Tegelijkertijd vormt dit beeld wel een mooi referentiepunt voor vragen, aan de hand waarvan een grensverkenning is uit te voeren in het domein van de sociale wetenschappen om (de beeldvorming rond) het vakgebied te verrijken.

M-Mode ultrasonography in ocular emergencies
Authors: Khazaei Hadi , Seethapathy G. , Mobaseri Alireza , Khazaei Danesh , D Ng John
Published: October 2022

M-Mode, or time-motion display, allows a single beam to emit from the ultrasound transducer along a defined track in conjunction with a recorder that captures all motions that occurs along the path. This mode allows high temporal resolution, thus affording the examiner an excellent view of subtle motions. Clinically, this mode is ideal for capturing vessel diameter changes, movement of cardiac valves, and detecting fetal heartbeats. The use of the M-mode or time-dependent intensity modulated ultrasound technique for ophthalmologic investigations are described here. This technique provides the investigator with a means for monitoring structural changes in the eye during physiologic or pharmacologic experimental conditions, or a combination of both, and is particularly useful in studying optically inaccessible structures. The technique has been used to study accommodation changes in axial length and lens thickness as well as the rate of such changes and to study vascular pulsations and choroidal thickness changes at the rear wall of the eye.
Special Symposium, Collective Vigilantism in Global Comparative Perspective The Political Economy of Collective Vigilantism: Comparative Evidence from Mexico
Authors: Moncada Eduardo
Published: October 2022

What explains variation in the structure and practices of collective vigilantism? I develop a framework that focuses on relations among victims and between victims and the state. I use the framework to compare variation in collective vigilantism enacted by avocado and berry sectors
in Michoac'n, Mexico. Centralized collective vigilantism by the avocado sector entailed a single sectoral organization coordinating victims' extra-legal activities with no interference from local politicians. By contrast, decentralized collective vigilantism by the berry sector consisted
of multiple autonomous groups of victims in conflict with criminals, local political authorities and among each other as they competed for power and resources. These differences in collective vigilantism can be traced back to differences in the local political economies that shape relations
among victims and between them and the state.
Prevalence and classification of accessory navicular bone: a medical record review
Authors: Alsager Ghadeer Abdullah , Alzahrani Khalid , Alshayhan Fahad , Alotaibi Raghad A. , Murrad Khalid , Arafah Orfan
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND:

The accessory navicular bone (ANB) is one of the most common accessory bones in the foot. Certain pathologies, such as posterior tibial tendon insufficiency are associated with ANB, and should be differentiated from midfoot and hindfoot fractures such as navicular tuberosity avulsion fractures. There are few studies addressing the prevalence and types of ANB in Saudi Arabia.

OBJECTIVES:

Determine the prevalence and morphological variations of ANB and its relation with age and sex in patients visiting foot and ankle clinics.

DESIGN:

Medical record review

SETTING:

Orthopedic foot and ankle clinic at a university hospital.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

The presence of ANB was retrospectively analyzed in radiographs from patients who presented to the orthopedic foot and ankle at our university hospital from February 2010 to December 2020. The patients were stratified according to sex, age, and diagnosis. For each ANB, recorded information included site, size, classification, subtypes, and symptomatology. Purposive sampling was used to select the patients for the study (non-probability sampling).

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Prevalence of ANB in patients attending a foot and ankle clinic.

SAMPLE SIZE:

117 patients and 194 feet.

RESULTS:

ANB was analyzed in 1006 radiographs from 503 patients. ANB was detected in 117 (23.3%) patients and 194 (19.3%) feet Prevalence was significantly higher in females (67.5%) than in males (32.5%) (Z=5.359,
P
<.001). The ages ranged from 19 to 86 years, with a mean age of 48.26 (14.5) years. The most common site was bilateral (77 patients, 65.8 %). Type I was the most common type, with a prevalence of 42.1%. There were no significant differences in types in relation to sex, but all types and subtypes differed significantly from each other.

CONCLUSION:

ANB was common among patients presenting to the foot and ankle clinic, with an overall prevalence of 23.3%. It should be considered among the differential diagnosis in chronic foot pain, and should be differentiated from midfoot and hindfoot fractures. Further studies with a larger, randomized sample are needed, for more accuracy and to confirm the reported results.

LIMITATIONS:

Retrospective chart review, non-probability sampling, and use of plain radiographs.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None.

Case study on the influence of synoptic-scale processes on the paired H2O-O3 distribution in the UTLS across a North Atlantic jet stream

Abstract. During a research flight of the Wave-driven ISentropic Exchange (WISE) campaign, which was conducted over the eastern North Atlantic on 1 October 2017, the composition of the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) across the North Atlantic jet stream was observed by airborne, range-resolved Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) profiles. We investigate how the high variability in the paired H2O and O3 distribution along the two-dimensional lidar cross section is affected by synoptic-scale weather systems, as revealed by the Lagrangian history of the observed air masses. To this aim, the lidar observations are combined with 10-day backward trajectories along which meteorological parameters and derived turbulence diagnostics are traced. The transport and mixing characteristics are then projected to the vertical cross sections of the lidar measurements and to the H2O–O3 phase space to explore linkages with the evolution of synoptic scale weather systems and their interaction. Tropical, midlatitude and arctic weather systems in the region of the jet stream and the related transport and mixing explain the complex H2O and O3 distribution to a large extent: O3-rich stratospheric air from the high Arctic interacts with midlatitude air from the North Pacific in a northward deflected jet stream associated with an anticyclone over the US and forms a filament extending into the tropopause fold beneath the jet stream. In the troposphere, lifting related to convection in the innertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and two tropical cyclones continuously injected H2O into dry descending air from the tropical Atlantic and Pacific forming filamentary H2O structures. One tropical cyclone that transitioned into a midlatitude cyclone lifted moist boundary layer air explaining the highest tropospheric H2O values. During the two days before the observations the air with mixed tropospheric and stratospheric characteristics experienced frequent turbulence along the North Atlantic jet stream indicating a strong influence of turbulence on the formation of the Extratropical Transition Layer (ExTL). This investigation highlights the complexity of stirring and mixing processes and their close connection to interacting tropospheric weather systems from the tropics to polar regions, which strongly influenced the observed fine-scale H2O and O3 distributions. The identified non-local character of mixing should be kept in mind when interpreting mixing lines in tracer–tracer phase space diagrams.
