DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS OF THE RELEVANCE OF DOING BUSINESS BY YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS IN THE POST-PANDEMIC COVID-19 PERIOD
Authors: Zhosan Hanna , Khoroshko Anna
Published: May 2022

The article highlights a marketing study of the preconditions for starting a business by young entrepreneurs by polling existing and potential entrepreneurs under the age of 35 on social networks. The problems of the development of existing enterprises during the introduction of quarantine restrictions due to coronavirus (COVID-19) are considered. Obstacles at the beginning of starting a business by young entrepreneurs and their willingness to adapt to coronavirus quarantine restrictions are analyzed (COVID-19). One in two young entrepreneurs is found to be partially affected by quarantine restrictions due to the coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19), and the rest of the self-employed people responded that the business is fully operational. Among the difficulties that arose during the quarantine, there was a decrease in social activity and limited visits to customers, reduced activity in those areas on which their business depended, lack of demand and orders. It is established that one of the important aspects is the focus on creating conditions to support young entrepreneurs and the necessary guarantees of their activities, the competence of the state in matters of lending and preferential tax conditions for start-up entrepreneurs. It is also possible to consider exchange and training on the basis of universities in countries with high economic performance in comparison with Ukraine (for potential entrepreneurs), and government support programs for existing enterprises.
ВНУТРІШНІЙ АУДИТ СИСТЕМИ МЕНЕДЖМЕНТУ У ВИПРОБУВАЛЬНІЙ ЛАБОРАТОРІЇ ОРГАНУ ОЦІНКИ ВІДПОВІДНОСТІ
Authors: Топчій Н.В.
Published: May 2022

Розгляд та аналізування процесів проведення внутрішніх аудитів в випробувальній лабораторії органу оцінки відповідності далеко не нове питання. Всі випробувальні лабораторії стурбовані питанням управління ризиками та підвищенням ефективності діяльності організації. За останні роки процес проведення внутрішнього аудиту пройшов великий шлях у своєму розвитку та досяг значних успіхів в частині визнання їх необхідності з боку вищого керівництва випробувальній лабораторії органу оцінки відповідності. Внутрішній аудит має здатність допомогти лабораторії досягти поставленої мети за допомогою використання систематизованого та послідовного підходу до оцінки процесів управління ризиками та до підвищення ефективності контролю якості. Розподіл відповідальності у випробувальних лабораторіях полягає в тому, що повну відповідальність за діяльність усієї організації несе її керівник. Це означає, що саме він є основною зацікавленою особою та замовником результатів внутрішнього аудиту, які необхідні для прийняття обґрунтованих рішень. Тому головним результатом внутрішнього аудиту є отримання надійної, достовірної, перевіреної та придатної для прийняття обґрунтованих управлінських рішень інформації.

Published: May 2022

Objective: To evaluate the tolerance of Tamaulipas native maize populations to the leaf damage caused by Spodoptera frugiperda.
Design/Methodology/Approach: During the two agricultural cycles of 2019, the leaf damage by S. frugiperda and the grain yield decrease in 10 populations of native maize were evaluated In Güémez, Tamaulipas.
Results: Leaf damage by S. frugiperda was minimal when synthetic insecticide (emamectin benzoate) was applied in the autumn-winter agricultural cycle; meanwhile, it was greater in the spring-summer cycle, but its levels remained lower than the rest of the S. frugiperda management strategies. Leaf damage was higher during the spring-summer cycle because the environmental temperature was higher than in the autumn-winter cycle.
Study limitations/Implications: Spodoptera frugiperda is an important pest of maize. It is mainly controlled using synthetic insecticides, which cause environmental and human health risks. The use of tolerant cultivars is a strategy that reduces these risks.
Findings/Conclusions: The TML2S3 and VHA maize populations were tolerant to S. frugiperda leaf damage in both agricultural cycles; it is considered as the base germplasm for a program aimed at enhancing this characteristic.
How did the COVID-19 Pandemic Impact the Location and Duration of Work Activities? A Latent Class Time-Use Study
Authors: Cheng Yu-Tong , Sauri Lavieri Patricia , Astroza Sebastian
Published: May 2022

We investigate the variation in location and time allocated to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from the American Time Use Survey (2019-2020) was modeled using a latent-class multiple discrete-continuous model. Two main segments of individuals who suffered different impacts from the pandemic on their work arrangements were identified. Men, young adults, and less educated individuals with lower-mid-income were often unable to transfer work into a residential setting, showing a reduction in work opportunities. Women, middle-aged, highly educated, and high-income individuals were prone to an increase in total hours worked when substituting out-of-home work with at-home work, showing productivity loss.

Topics in Graph Burning and Datalog
Authors: Moghbel Daniel
Published: May 2022

Graph burning studies how fast a contagion, modelled as a set of fires, spreads in a graph. The burning process takes place in discrete time-steps, or rounds. In each round, a fire breaks out at a given node (or vertex), thus burning it. Between rounds, fires from burning nodes spread to adjacent nodes. The burning number of a graph G, denoted b(G), is the minimum number of rounds necessary for every node of G to burn. We consider b(Gm,n), where Gm,n is the m × n Cartesian grid. For m = ω( √ n), the asymptotic value of b(Gm,n) was determined, but only the growth rate of b(Gm,n) was investigated in the case m = O( √ n). Accordingly, we provide new explicit bounds on b(Gc √ n,n) for valid  c > 0. Graph burning is analogous to a pebble game, which typically involves the placement of pebbles on nodes of a graph. Burning of a node is comparable to a pebbling step (or pebbling move): the removal of two pebbles from a node, where one of the removed pebbles is placed on an adjacent node while the other is discarded. In a certain pebble game  iii  variant (discussed in Section 1.7), the existence of a winning strategy has an interesting characterization: expressibility of the relevant constraint satisfaction problem (or CSP) in the logic programming language Datalog. If a structure with a non-empty domain is restricted to relation symbols only, then we call that structure a template. We show that the CSP for any finite template admitting terms of the weak J ́onsson type has a property known as bounded pathwidth duality. This implies the expressibility of the complement CSP in linear Datalog, and places the CSP in NL.
The supplier–buyer integrated production–inventory model with random yield, scrapping, and discounting sales
Authors: Peesapati Sreesuryasai Santosh Sarma
Published: May 2022

This report provides four models for a single-buyer and single vendor inventory system for a single item to optimize the total cost of this supply chain system. Scrapping imperfect items at buyer’s and vendor’s locations and discounting imperfect items at buyer’s and vendor’s locations have been developed. The renewal-reward theorem has been used to calculate the expected total cost and expected replenishment cycle time. Conditions have been provided to adopt a particular model. A numerical example has been provided, sensitivity analysis has been performed to validate the theoretical results, and the input parameters affecting the total cost have been provided.
Energy-aware flexible job shop scheduling problem and preventive maintenance under the limited resource constraints
Authors: Mirahmadi Nasim
Published: May 2022

This thesis presents the development of a novel model for solving the flexible job shop scheduling problem with maintenance activities where maintenance activities are limited by a maintenance crew constraint. Moreover, in order to extend it in terms of energy consumption, the cost of energy usage associated with different states of the machines is considered in the objective function. The objective is to minimize the total cost of hiring repairmen, energy consumption, and tardiness penalties. We assume the production machines in this environment may break down which causes the unavailability of the machines for the production. In the maintenance phase, a threshold-based maintenance strategy is applied based on the obtained optimal replacement age of each machine. Accordingly, the required maintenance action is divided into two categories: minimal repair or replacement activities. Furthermore, opportunistic maintenance is considered in the scheduling to minimize the required number of repairmen to be hired. In fact, the main aims are to find the optimal machine assignment and operation sequence, to determine if preventive maintenance is required to be executed between two consecutive operations, and to specify the optimal number of maintenance crew to be hired for the shop floor to minimize the expected total cost.
Mode II Interlaminar fracture toughness of flax and glass epoxy hybrid composites
Authors: Ekeoseye Wilfred Stephen
Published: May 2022

Delamination is a significant mode of failure in composite materials during service; It prevents the adequate dissemination of load between plies lowering the strength of the material, which could consequently lead to a cascading effect of failure. Providing more data on the delamination properties of composite material during loading will increase the adoption of composite materials in more industries. This study aims to characterize the mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of hybrid composites – hybrid one [0G/0F]8S, hybrid two [04G/04F]S and hybrid three [04G/ (90/0)2F]S. Furthermore, this study explores the application of Finite Element Analysis as a tool to assess the damage in a composite material during delamination. In this study, mode II fracture toughness of three hybrids of flax and glass epoxy is characterized according to the ASTM standard D7905 standard. Finite Element Analysis is applied to assess the failure in the flax plies of the respective hybrid.
Characterization of a novel in-ground heat exchanger for applications in sustainable building energy and maintaining permafrost
Authors: Nicholson Sarah R.
Published: May 2022

This thesis investigates the use of a Helical Steel Pile (HSP), as an in-ground heat exchanger for a Ground-Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system. A multi-layered soil conductivity dataset was created to quantify thermal performance across a variety of climate and soil conditions. Geometric features of the HSP were optimized using parametric sweeps, and the capacity of the pile to supply a building load was characterized for a variety of inlet fluid temperatures, seasons, and locations. Transient simulations of the pile characterized its ability to supply three different types of building load sets across a year. Finally, 40-year simulations showed the potential for the HSP to provide heating to buildings in a northern region while also mitigating the thawing of permafrost from climate change. The results indicate a potential to provide sustainable thermal energy to remote communities while delaying the predicted thawing of permafrost locally by up to 75 years.
Electromagnetic FPCB micromirror based scanning laser rangefinder
Authors: Tan Vixen Joshua
Published: May 2022

This thesis presents an electromagnetic FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) micromirror based scanning triangulation laser rangefinder (LRF). Two configuration designs of the electromagnetic FPCB micromirror have been developed and tested. The FPCB micromirror has a large aperture (8 mm x 5.5 mm) and high flatness (ROC, radius of curvature, ~ 15m), that overcomes conventional MEMS micromirrors’ limitation of small aperture (less than 5 mm). Subsequently high power lasers with large beam sizes and good collimation can be used in micromirror based scanning LRF for better performance. As a result, the LRF in this thesis achieved a larger scanning angle and longer detecting distance than those in literature. Both modelling and prototyping are presented. Three lasers (Laser 1: 2 mW; Laser 2: 20 mW; and Laser 3: 100 mW) are used to characterise the LRF. Eye-safety calculation is presented for the three lasers. Achieved performance (measurement distance and FOV, field of view) is: with Laser 1, distance of 15 – 70 cm and FOV of -15° to 10°, error ≤ 4% ; with Laser 2, distance of 15 – 130 cm and FOV of 15° to 15°, error ≤ 5%; with Laser 3, distance 15 – 200 cm and FOV of -15° to (5~9°), error ≤ 5%. Fatigue test indicates 1.2 billion scanning cycles have been reached.
Sequencing and Scheduling Optimization in Low-Volume Low-Variety Production Systems
Authors: Russell Arya
Published: May 2022

Despite prominent scholarly advancements in scheduling optimization approaches for a wide range of production systems, limited research has been reported on sequencing and scheduling optimization strategies in Low-Volume Low-Variety production systems. This dissertation fills the gap in the current literature through the formulation and the proposal of a suite of mathematical programming models and heuristic algorithms, capturing the unique characteristics and constraints inherent in such production systems. In the first section of this dissertation a suite of mixed-integer multi-objective linear mathematical programming models are proposed for solving discrete-time single work center scheduling problems, distinguished by a key decision criterion of permitting or prohibiting the traveling of incomplete activities. It was evident through personal observations however, that there exist scenarios where resources are shared between parallel work centers, which yielded to further research in the use of shared resource pools in multi-parallel work center scheduling problems. A novel suite of mathematical programming models are proposed for solving single and multi-parallel work center scheduling problems with shared or dedicated resources. The mathematical programming models formulated in this section are modular, signifying that constraints can be added or removed without jeopardizing the integrity of the mathematical models. The proposed optimization models were validated and verified through a real-world case study where significant cost savings in form of resource requirements are realized through the integration of shared resource pools. It is often the case however, that activity processing times and planning horizon are not discrete. To tackle continuous-time work center scheduling problems a novel suite of mathematical programming models is formulated and proposed in the final section of this dissertation, as well as two new genetic algorithms for solving large-scale scheduling problems. The proposed mathematical programming models and metaheuristics are aimed at optimizing the production schedule as well as activity execution sequence to minimize overall cost and resource requirements. The optimization models proposed through this dissertation are validated and verified through a real-world case study of the final assembly line of a narrow body private aircraft, where the problems were solved to optimality.
Immersive Telejournalistic Narratives in the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Falandes Carolina , Renó Denis
Published: May 2022

To build representations and meanings, telejournalism in the context of transmediation has relied on the interrelation of different languages, adapting itself according to the emergence of resources and interfaces. In this context, one can cite the exploration of 360-degree audiovisual narratives, an emerging image modality used by the press as a mechanism to bring spectators closer to events.
In Brazil, 360-degree journalistic productions made by communication companies, in general, go beyond the space of television and move towards online supports, in order to instigate the participation of the enunciatee through access to interactivity resources. The present investigation focuses on this process of articulation between TV and the Internet, with the aim of pointing out reflections on the language of 360-degree audiovisual content in journalism, proposing to analyze discursive strategies and technical specificities of productions disseminated through the television support and the online environment. To this end, the series of 360-degree reports “O Vírus na Favela” was examined, launched in 2020 by the program Balanço Geral RJ (Record TV Rio - Brazil) and which sought to portray challenges faced by residents of communities in Rio de Janeiro during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This exploratory study is guided by a methodological path formed by a bibliographic survey, based on discussions such as telejournalism, interactivity and 360-degree narratives, and on the analysis of the corpus-based on three principles of French semiotics presented by Barros (2005): narrative syntax, discursive syntax and discursive semantics. In addition, the semiotic analysis method for 360-degree films developed by Moreira (2020) was applied.
In conclusion, it can be recognized that the analyzed series evidences the enunciators' search to follow the contemporary trend of telling stories in more than one media support, as well as creating interactivity with the viewer. Also, it was observed that TV productions have a hybrid proposal and are based on several languages, such as graphic elements, conventional videos and 360-degree videos. On the other hand, Web content, in part, is configured as interactive versions of 360-degree videos shown on TV. Such evidence may characterize that television content producers see this type of image as an accessory innovation in the composition of traditional reports.
Un/interactive Fish in Posthuman Ethical Design
Authors: Lee Yueh-Jung
Published: May 2022

In the posthuman era, what counts as ethical has dispersed and re-distributed to a nonhuman-centered network that includes nonhuman species and nonliving matter. This hybrid study consists of research and project-based speculative design that aims to recalibrate human relationships with others, in this case, digital fish. The overarching question in this research is: How a human-nonhuman relationship could look like through the lens of Taoist-posthumanism and how to design such a relationship? More specifically, how to design a mutually beneficial interactive system with limited human-initiated interaction? Firstly, I draw on Posthumanism, Taoism, and Contractualism as theoretical frameworks to form the arguments regarding the human-fish relationship. Second, I analyze the theories and transcribe them into the public interactive project Not-my-fish in terms of un-interactive interaction and human experience. Third, I apply the concept of flow as design guidelines and feature four aspects of the flow in the human-fish interaction: ecological flow, sensory flow, social flow, and data flow. Fourth, I discuss how the participating parties mutually benefit from this partnership. Not-my-fish rearticulates the relationship between humans and fish as well as humans and computers and sees the human-fish relationships from posthuman and Taoist perspectives. In short, although the transition from human-centered to posthuman interactive media creates some challenges for human partners and design aspects, the project demonstrates a practical way for humans to develop a posthuman design in public interactives and serve the public good at the same time.
From Real to Virtual

Published: May 2022

The article presents the initial steps of a research-creation project that has been developed within the scope of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, in Brazil, and whose main objective is to give visibility to socio-environmental conflicts in the metropolitan region of Grande Vitória, capital of Espírito Santo, from the development of interactive and immersive audiovisual works. At first, a field research was carried out in a specific territory of the capital – the Jesus de Nazareth neighborhood – in order to identify some of these local conflicts and the community's ways of acting in an attempt to solve the problems. The problem proposed by the ongoing research can be summarized as follows: using research-creation as a methodology and work process, how to develop interactive, immersive and collaborative multimedia works that make it possible to increase the visibility of socio-environmental conflicts existing in a given territory – in this case, the metropolitan region of Greater Vitória – and, in parallel, promote scientific dissemination and the popularization of science? The research has a multidisciplinary character and brings together the following fields of study: i) research-creation and digital humanities; ii) new communication technologies, immersive (augmented/virtual reality) and interactive media; iii) socio-environmental conflicts in the metropolitan region of Greater Vitória (ES) and their impacts on the population; and iv) scientific dissemination. In addition to the objectives and expected results – to increase the visibility of socio-environmental conflicts and social injustices, research data on these issues and to disseminate possible solutions –, the research is also justified by the possibilities of learning and experimenting with technological resources on the part of of professors and students of a public university in Brazil. The article brings data about the main conflicts already mapped in the Greater Vitória region, information about the visited community and also theoretical notes on the concept of socio-environmental conflict, understood in a broad way, but which includes the articulation between the environment and social relations. The text also presents the principles of creation as research and its use as a methodological process. The current stage of the research consists of collecting and selecting data from scientific research banks and reviewing the literature.
Corona Haikus
Authors: Gaudenzi Sandra
Published: May 2022

When I moved from linear documentary production to the newly emerging field of interactive storytelling in the early 2000, I was excited by the potentialities of the Web, especially the possibility of co-creation in factual storytelling. Looking back, I can clearly see that what attracted me was the exploration of how factual narratives could make use of two affordances that are unique to digital media: user agency and interactivity. More than twenty years later, I am still experimenting with ways to use interactivity to facilitate co-creation of reality and move away from simple representation in documentary making (Gaudenzi 2013).
In this paper, I will use the Corona Haikus project (2020), to question the current understanding of user agency in participatory interactive narratives. I have chosen such project because I have personally been involved in it as a co-author, but also as a participant, and therefore I have both co-designed its user’s agency, and experienced it as a user. I will argue that agency in interactive documentary (i-doc) should be considered as a space of user empowerment that does not always have to affect the interactive narrative itself, because it can also be placed outside of the narrated story.  The Corona Haikus example will be used to demonstrate that, in participatory narratives, deep individual and societal impact can be designed by mixing different types of mini-agencies and by orchestrating them as a journey of empowerment that is gradual and evolutive.  Reflexive and evolutive agencies will be defined and presented as new ways to approach impact design in interactive narratives.
Diverse Perspective of the Shared History
Authors: Chen Hui
Published: May 2022

This paper discusses how the interactive documentary A Global Guide to the First World War (Francesca Panetta, 2014) effectively integrates interactive technology with historical narratives of the war through a three-way collaboration between news organizations, historians and digital materials from the Imperial War Museum from the perspective of transnational shared history. The paper argues that the different images, videos, news reports and audio clips reflect diverse aspects of common historical themes in the documentary. First, in its seven video chapters, the museum's audiovisual archive covers many countries, and audiences can watch videos related to the WWI alongside historians' commentaries that explain how different nations fought in the war; second, the interactive part is based on an elaborate digital world map, and users can view audio clips, photocopied newspapers and other materials of the war under various web interaction options, and all of the above can be accessed in multiple languages. The natural and direct feeling brought to audiences is the understanding of the WWI experienced by different peoples and countries with a global perspective, instead of the traditional single narrative perspective. Thus, the documentary is a testimony to the shared history of the war. I suggest that the shared historical events and interactive technology make it easier for viewers from different cultural backgrounds to understand this work, and trigger a wide range of historical resonance. Visual media has always led people to leave events in their memories that they did not experience. Although most viewers did not personally experience WWI, historians' commentaries, museums' audiovisual histories and the Guardian's authentic old stories give us credible evidence of the past. The traumatic memories that the images bring to the audiences create an effect of sympathy for the pain of war and the responsibility to fight against it, which transcends racial and national identification. However, this transnational empathy is quite limited. The reason is that the documentary employs an official authoritative narrative strategy rather than the perspective of the individual. It somehow creates a sense of alienation for the viewers, who realize that these are collages of archival records rather than a kind of historical memory closely related to themselves.
The Drama-Driven Model of Interaction and Optional Thinking
Authors: Ben-Shaul Nitzan
Published: May 2022

Interactive films are defined here as an audiovisual narrative flow aimed at creating drama along with its characterizing suspense, curiosity, and surprise.
Interaction is defined as an audiovisual alignment that allows the interactor to intervene or steer the story progression in different ways (by voice recognition or touch screen options).
Interaction forms an added layer comparable to the addition of sound to silent movies. As with the addition of a soundtrack, an added interactive layer to the sound and image layers creates new narrative forms and audiovisual compositions. These new narrative forms include the new data-base narrative form discussed by Lev Manovich, often expressed through new digital enabled audiovisual compositions such as morphing.
However, adding an interactive layer poses a series of challenges which concern the need to script, direct, edit and design a coherent work when the story, the characters and the drama may not engender immersion due to out of fiction interactive actions. Hence, story multi-bifurcation upon interaction impedes the cognitive processing of the story logic. Likewise, interactive actions may obstruct the narrative flow, thereby leading to viewser split attention and miscomprehension.  
This study suggests a solution to these common problems through the drama-driven model of interaction implemented in the interactive movie Turbulence.
But Do They Care?
Authors: Ryan Kathleen , Skewes Elizabeth , Matthews Tammy
Published: May 2022

This paper considers the effectiveness of evolving formats of image work (online interactive, augmented reality, virtual reality) to help audiences understand multiple points of view on contested topics. It is based in the oral histories of six female landscape photographers, all of who photograph the impacts of the controversial oil and gas extraction technology known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. All of the photographers consider themselves environmentalists and are concerned with the environmental effects of the process.
In this experiment, we produced identical stories about the photographers and their work across the three different platforms. We then conducted focus groups to determine if a specific platform helped audiences better develop an “ethic of care”: an ability to understand multiple perspectives about a topic. We argue experiential immersion offers potential for both scholars and image-base dstorytellers. Unlike the still image or archive-based oral history, interactive storytelling allows for audiences to direct how they will experience images and understand complex issues in a tactile platform.
Towards an Alternative Notion of the Interface
Authors: Ikebude Emeka
Published: May 2022

The aim of this paper is to propose an alternative notion of the interface. While the existing notions of the interface suffice, there is a need for understanding the interface as an ecology, rather than as an object or technology. Scholars such as Branden Hookway, Alex Galloway, Nanna Verhoeff, and Heidi Rae Cooley understand the interface as "a relationship," "processes," "doing," and "habits," respectively. However, in consideration of the new and emerging social processes and transformations engendered by interfaces as platforms by which we understand and relate with the world in more specific ways, I argue that a notion of the interface as an ecology would enrich the discussion and provide an ecological boundary ‘object’ for thinking across disciplines. I examined the interface through etymological, epistemological, psychoanalytic, and artistic standpoints, as well as exploring the term's affective, material, and infrastructural dimensions. I conclude that an ecological notion of the interface would produce a more nuanced and performative understanding of the term and shift our focus away from the material form of interfaces, to the actions, intensities, and aesthetics of the interface.  Ecology is critical to how we understand interfaces as it concerns the relationships between organisms and their environments, including the relationships between artists and their expressive media and installations, and the relationships between users and their interface platforms. The ecological notion of the interface refers to how we live in the networked, hypermediated space, relate with our technologies, and engage in artistic practices in all forms of interfaces.

Стаття присвячена дослідженню етапів відродження Військового інституту танкових військ Національного технічного університету «Харківський політехнічний інститут» (далі — ВІТВ НТУ «ХПІ») — єдиного й унікального військового освітнього закладу в Україні, що має свою школу підготовки кваліфікованих офіцерів-танкістів для Збройних Сил України.

Але, за висновками провідних українських військових вчених, самостій- ної системи підготовки офіцерських кадрів в Україні на 1991 рік не іс- нувало. Була тільки розрізнена мережа військових навчальних закладів, що створювало значні проблеми щодо трансформації системи військової освіти (СВО) відповідно до реальних потреб і можливостей Збройних Сил України.

У цих умовах Харківському вищому танковому командному училищу (далі — ХВТКУ) прийшлось доводити свою потрібність, долаючи перешкоди та труднощі, викликані проявами суб’єктивізму до створення СВО в Україні.

У статті також аналізується діяльність командування та колективу училища/інституту/факультету для повернення статусу провідного вищого військового навчального закладу.

Наведені факти щодо основних етапів формування навчального закладу, змін у його керівництві, структурі, завданнях та видатних особистостей.

According to the World Health Organization, the number of malignant melanoma cases increases faster worldwide. Early diagnosed and adequately managed malignant melanoma shows a good prognosis. Rare cases of late metastasis of melanoma after long disease free survival, and their growing incidences are reported. This reported case is about a metastatic malignant melanoma who was apparently disease free for 14 years but showed late recurrence and earned clinical interest. A 60-year-old male patient was referred to PET-CT division of National Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences (NINMAS) for the evaluation of a biopsy proven malignant melanoma in right inguinal region. The patient presented with a newly developed asymptomatic nodule on his right thigh. Relevant past medical history included a completely excised lesion in his left axilla for malignant melanoma. Fine-needle aspiration and cytological analysis report of new lesion showed subcutaneous localization of malignant melanoma. 18F-FDG PET-CT imaging showed hypermetabolic soft tissue density mass in right inguinal region; Histopathology report (HPR) proved malignant lesion. Multiple hypermetabolic lesions were seen intra abdominally involving spleen and pancreas with corresponding hypodense lesions on CT scan. Multiple hypermetabolic enlarged intraabdominal, right axillary and right inguinal lymph nodes are also evident. After 14 years of disease free survival the reported case developed malignant melanoma with distal metastases. Although late metastasis is uncommon however physicians should be aware of any newly developed suspicious lesions and PET-CT can play an important role in workup for detection of metastases from melanoma.

Published: May 2022

El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad realizar un análisis de las condiciones extremas de oleaje en el Archipiélago de Galápagos. Para lo cual, se utilizaron datos de oleaje y viento del Centro Europeo de Predicción del Tiempo a Mediano Plazo (ECMWF). Primero, se realizó una caracterización del espectro de oleaje, luego se utilizó el Análisis de Valor Extremo EVA, con el método de pico sobre umbral (POT). Para encontrar los eventos extremos y sus periodos de retorno a 100 años. Finalmente, se realizó el análisis físico de las tres mayores tormentas registradas en el periodo de 1979 a 2015. En las cuales se determinó que sus trayectorias ascendentes (de sur a norte) y su gran intensidad, generan el oleaje de fondo (swell) que contribuye con la producción de valores extremos en las Islas Galápagos. Además, la máxima altura significativa de ola es de 3,8 m para un periodo de retorno de 100 años.

Estudiamos la dinámica interna de un compacto invariante por medio de distintas nociones: atractor local, repulsor y pareja atractor–repulsor. Se describe la descomposición de Morse (en el sentido de Rybakowski (1987)) y para un atractor global probamos las equivalencias de los conceptos de atractor local y descomposición de Morse dados en los libros de Carvalho et al. (2013) y de Rybakowski (1987). Se presentan los resultados de Aragão et al. (2011) según los cuales existe una equivalencia entre el semigrupo gradiente (admite una función de Lyapunov) y el semigrupo dinámicamente gradiente (en el sentido de Carvalho et al. (2013)). Concluimos presentando la estabilidad de semigrupos gradientes bajo perturbaciones, vía ejemplos ilustrativos.

Los estudios de vulnerabilidad sísmica constituyen una parte importante para la implementación de programas de mitigación de riesgo. El Ecuador, al ser un país en el que se presenta un riesgo sísmico alto, ha empezado a estudiar el grado de vulnerabilidad de las edificaciones existentes. En este artículo, se describen las diferentes metodologías empleadas en estos estudios como: la del proyecto South America Risk Assessment (SARA) para la ciudad de Quito; en tesis y trabajos académicos, las metodologías FEMA P-154, NEC-15 y FUNVISIS además de Benedetti-Petrini y FEMA 310. Posteriormente, se comparan los resultados obtenidos, enfocándose en primer lugar en las características comunes a todas ellas, luego en sus diferencias y su importancia relativa para considerar aspectos propios de las edificaciones en el Ecuador. Merecen especial atención los porcentajes de edificaciones vulnerables y que requieren una evaluación más detallada. Se concluye que las metodologías presentadas constituyen una alternativa útil para determinar aquellas edificaciones que no mostrarán un comportamiento aceptable ante un evento sísmico. Además, son complementarias unas de otras y, por tanto, se recomienda el uso de por lo menos tres de ellas: NEC-15, FEMA P-154 Y FUNVISIS.

ABSTRACTCancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. It takes an evidence-based strategy to address the increasing incidence of cancer in the world. To control the increase of cancer in Indonesia required control strategies of the key riskfactors associated with the incidence of cancer. Currently the data on the distribution of cancer in Indonesia is still limited. Key risk factors for cancer can be known from the existing types of cancer. By knowing the distribution of cancerthat is expected to become a factor in the prevention of cancer in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to describe the distribution of cancer in Indonesia by the community in 2007. The data used is data survey of basic health research(Riskesdas) 2007. Design this study was a descriptive cross-sectional. The analysis showed that from 768 635 respondents there were 4647 (0.6%) respondents who had cancer. Central Java province was the province with the highest number of cancer patients (23.6%). Cervical and ovarian cancer as well as breast cancer were the most commonly found as many as 927 (20%) of respondents to cervical and ovarian cancer, and as many as 746 (16%) of respondents had breast cancer. Cervical and ovarian cancer were most commonly found in adults, with the status ofmarried, live in urban areas and have low education status. Breast cancer was most common in women aged adult, married status, living in urban, low educational status and low economic status.ABSTRAKKanker merupakan salah satu penyebab kematian utama di dunia.

ABSTRACT The main goals of the therapy of simple bone cyst (SBC) are to get the bone healing, prevent pathological fractures, and management of pain symptom. There are various methods of the SBC treatments, however they still remain controversial because of their healing rate and invasiveness of surgery. A total of 10 SBC patients were divided into two groups namely curretage with hydroxyapatite (HA) and decompression and percutaneous steroid injection (PSI). PSI was performed three times at intervals of each month. The mean followup of 12-26 months. Evaluation of functional outcome by Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) score and supported with radiologically based on Chang criteria. There were 5 patients (proximal femur 2; proximal humerus 2, radius 1) performed curretage with HA therapy. Remaining 5 patients (proximal femur 3; proximal humerus 1; calcaneus 1) were performed PSI therapy. PSI group had better MSTS score, particulary at month 3 (55%) and month 6 (84%) than curettage with HA therapy (47% and 69.3%). Complete bone healing was found in both group at month 12 follow up, however solid union occurred faster in PSI group. PSI tends to have faster and better functional outcome than curettage and HA. Curettage with HA and PSI have similar complete bone healing at month 12 follow up. ABSTRAKTarget utama penalaksanaan simple bone cyst (SBC) adalah mencapat penyembuhan tulang yang sempurna, mencegah fraktur patologis dan mengatasi gejala nyeri. Ada beberapa metode penatalaksanaan SBC, namun demikian masih menjadi perdebatan dikarenakan perbedaan angka penyembuhannya dan jenis pembedahan yang invsif. Sepuluh pasien yang didiagnosis SBC dikelompokkan menjadi kelompok yang mendapat tindakan curretage dan pengisian defek dengan hydroxyapatite (HA) dan kelompok dekompresi dan percutaneous steroid injection (PSI). Prosedur PSIdilakukan sebanyak 3x dengan interval waktu satu bulan. Follow up dilakukan selama 12 – 26 bulan. Evaluasi luaran fungsional menggunakan Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) score dan secara radiologi sesuai criteria Chang. Terdapat 5 pasien (2 femur proksimal, 2 humerus proksimal, dan 1 radius) yang dilakukan prosedur curretage dan pengisian defek dengan HA. Lima pasien sisanya ( 3 fenur proximal, 1 humerus proximal dan 1 calcaneus) dilakukan prosedur PSI. Luaran fungsional Kelompok PSI memiliki MSTS score yang lebih baik, khususnya pada bulan ke- 3 (55%) dan bulan ke-6 (84%) daripada kelompok curettage dengan HA (47% dan 69.3%). Penyembulan tulang sempurna menunjukkan hasil yang sama pada evaluasi bulan ke-12, tetapi solid union didapatkan lebih cepat pada kelompok PSI. Kelompok PSI memiliki kecenderungan solid union dan luaran fungsional yang lebih cepat daripada kelompok curettage dengan HA. Kedua kelompok mencapai penyembuhan sempurna pada bulan ke-12 follow up
