Theoretical Studies of Leu-Pro-Arg-Asp-Ala Pentapeptide (LPRDA) Binding to Sortase A of Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: Shulga Dmitry A. , Kudryavtsev Konstantin V.
Published: November 2022

Sortase A (SrtA) of Staphylococcus aureus is a well-defined molecular target to combat the virulence of these clinically important bacteria. However up to now no efficient drugs or even clinical candidates are known, hence the search for such drugs is still relevant and necessary. SrtA is a complex target, so many straight-forward techniques for modeling using the structure-based drug design (SBDD) fail to produce the results they used to bring for other, simpler, targets. In this work we conduct theoretical studies of the binding/activity of Leu-Pro-Arg-Asp-Ala (LPRDA) polypeptide, which was recently shown to possess antivirulence activity against S. aureus. Our investigation was aimed at establishing a framework for the estimation of the key interactions and subsequent modification of LPRDA, targeted at non-peptide molecules, with better drug-like properties than the original polypeptide. Firstly, the available PDB structures are critically analyzed and the criteria to evaluate the quality of the ligand–SrtA complex geometry are proposed. Secondly, the docking protocol was investigated to establish its applicability to the LPRDA–SrtA complex prediction. Thirdly, the molecular dynamics studies were carried out to refine the geometries and estimate the stability of the complexes, predicted by docking. The main finding is that the previously reported partially chaotic movement of the β6/β7 and β7/β8 loops of SrtA (being the intrinsically disordered parts related to the SrtA binding site) is exaggerated when SrtA is complexed with LPRDA, which in turn reveals all the signs of the flexible and structurally disordered molecule. As a result, a wealth of plausible LPRDA–SrtA complex conformations are hard to distinguish using simple modeling means, such as docking. The use of more elaborate modeling approaches may help to model the system reliably but at the cost of computational efficiency.

Ceramic insulation coating (glass film) is an important constituent of grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES) designed for use in transformers. Within the scope of this study, the glass film was obtained by means of interaction between the surface of GOES containing 0.5 wt. % Cu and a heat-resistant MgO coating during annealing up to 1100 °C in the 75%H2 + 25%N2 atmosphere. The structure of glass film was analyzed using X-ray diffraction, glow-discharge optical emission spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermodynamic calculations. After annealing, the glass film contained the following phases: crystalline (MgFe)2SiO4 and amorphous Fe-based solid solutions. The multi-stage mechanism of the glass film formation on GOES surface during high-temperature annealing was determined.

Aluminum Josephson junctions are the building blocks for the realization of superconducting quantum bits. Attention has been also paid to hybrid ferromagnetic Josephson junctions, which allow switching between different magnetic states, making them interesting for applications such as cryogenic memories, single-photon detectors, and spintronics. In this paper, we report on the fabrication and characterization of high-quality ferromagnetic Josephson junctions based on aluminum technology. We employed an innovative fabrication process inspired by niobium-based technology, allowing us to obtain very high-quality hybrid aluminum Josephson junctions; thus, supporting the use of ferromagnetic Josephson junctions in advanced quantum circuits. The fabrication process is described in detail and the main DC transport properties at low temperatures (current–voltage characteristic, critical current as a function of the temperature, and the external magnetic field) are reported. Here, we illustrate in detail the fabrication process, as well as the main DC transport properties at low temperatures (current–voltage characteristic, critical current as a function of the temperature, and the external magnetic field).

Published: November 2022

Thallium(I) (Tl(I)) pollution has become a pressing environmental issue due to its harmful effect on human health and aquatic life. Effective technology to remove Tl(I) ions from drinking water can offer immediate societal benefits especially in the developing countries. In this study, a bio-adsorbent system based on nitro-oxidized nanocellulose (NOCNF) extracted from sorghum stalks was shown to be a highly effective Tl(I) removal medium. The nitro-oxidation process (NOP) is an energy-efficient, zero-waste approach that can extract nanocellulose from any lignocellulosic feedstock, where the effluent can be neutralized directly into a fertilizer without the need for post-treatment. The demonstrated NOCNF adsorbent exhibited high Tl(I) removal efficiency (>90% at concentration < 500 ppm) and high maximum removal capacity (Qm = 1898 mg/g using the Langmuir model). The Tl(I) adsorption mechanism by NOCNF was investigated by thorough characterization of NOCNF-Tl floc samples using spectroscopic (FTIR), diffraction (WAXD), microscopic (SEM, TEM, and AFM) and zeta-potential techniques. The results indicate that adsorption occurs mainly due to electrostatic attraction between cationic Tl(I) ions and anionic carboxylate groups on NOCNF, where the adsorbed Tl(I) sites become nuclei for the growth of thallium oxide nanocrystals at high Tl(I) concentrations. The mineralization process enhances the Tl(I) removal efficiency, and the mechanism is consistent with the isotherm data analysis using the Freundlich model.

Published: November 2022

Parenting practices have been associated with adolescent lifestyle behaviors and weight status. Evidence is limited regarding the efficacy of interventions to address father influences on adolescent lifestyle behaviors through availability and modeling practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in father parenting practices after Latino families with adolescents participated in the Padres Preparados Jóvenes Saludables (Padres) program. Time-1 (baseline) and Time-2 (post-intervention) data were used from Latino father/adolescent (10–14 years) dyads enrolled in the Padres two-arm (intervention vs. delayed-treatment control group) randomized controlled trial in four community locations. The program had eight weekly, 2.5-h experiential learning sessions on food preparation, parenting practices, nutrition, and physical activity. Two types of parenting practices (role modeling and home food availability) were assessed by father report via questionnaire for each of 7 lifestyle behaviors, for a total of 14 parenting practices. Linear regression mixed models were used to evaluate the intervention effects. A total of 94 father/adolescent dyads completed both Time-1 and Time-2 evaluations. Significant positive intervention effects were found for frequencies of fruit modeling (p = 0.002) and screen time modeling (p = 0.039). Non-significant results were found for the other 12 father parenting practices.

Published: November 2022

Given the shortage of water resources and excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers in irrigated areas, we explored the effect of water–nitrogen coupling on soil microbial diversity in maize fields irrigated using shallow buried droppers. A field experiment (split-plot design) was used with irrigation amounts set at 40%, 50%, and 60% of the conventional amount; furthermore, 13 water and nitrogen coupling treatments were designed. The secondary area was the nitrogen application level, corresponding to 50%, 70%, and the original conventional application amounts. The results showed that the effect of irrigation amount on bacterial community composition was greater than that of nitrogen, whereas the effect of nitrogen on fungi was greater than that on bacteria. No significant difference was detected in the α diversity index or species richness of bacteria and fungi. Available phosphorus and organic carbon contents significantly correlated with the community structure of soil bacteria (p < 0.05). The relative abundances of bacteria and fungi were stable with the decrease of nitrogen application rate at the irrigation rate of 2000 m3 ha−1. With the decrease of irrigation amount, the relative abundance of bacteria and fungi was stable under the treatment of 210 kg ha−1 nitrogen fertilizer. Moreover, the relative abundance of nitrogen-fixing bacteria related to the nitrogen cycle was increased by irrigation of 2000 m3 ha−1 and nitrogen application of 210 kg ha−1. Moderate reduction of subsequent N supply should be as a prior soil management option in a high N input agroecosystem.

Nutritionally rich cucumber seeds remain in demand in the agricultural, health and cosmetic sectors as they are essential for a successful crop stand establishment and seed-based products. However, the production of cucumber seeds is impeded by source limitation and nutrient deficiency. The foliar application of micronutrients can supplement this deficiency and overcome the physiological setback. An experiment was undertaken to compare the impacts of the foliar application of Fe and Zn, as nanoparticles and fertilizers, on the yield and seed quality of cucumber under open and protected environments. A foliar spray of nano-ZnO (ZnNPs) and nano-Fe3O4 (FeNPs) at 100, 200 and 300 mg L−1, as well as ZnSO4 and FeSO4 as fertilizer (0.5%), was conducted at the vegetative stage and pre- and post-flowering stages. The NPs had a greater efficacy in an open field than in the protected (naturally ventilated poly house) environment. The application of both NPs increased seed yield (51.7–52.2%), total chlorophyll content (15.9–17.3%) and concentration of Zn and Fe in the fruit and the seed, by 2.0–58.5% and 5.0–30.5%, respectively. A significant increase in starch, soluble proteins, soluble sugars and oil content was observed in the seeds from the NP treated plants. NP treatment also enhanced the germination-related parameters, such as percent germination (16.8–17.0%), rate of germination (18.0–22.2%) and seedling vigor (59.8–72.6%). The biochemical characterization showed a significant improvement in the seed water uptake and the activity of hydrolytic enzymes (amylase and protease) in the germinating seed. The involvement of reactive oxygen species (superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide) and antioxidant enzymes (Superoxide dismutase, Catalase and Peroxidase) in the germination process was indicated by an increase in their activities in the seeds from NP treated plants. Hence, the study proposes the potential benefit of the foliar application of 300 mg L−1 ZnNPs and 200 mg L−1 FeNPs at crucial stages of plant growth to improve the yield and seed quality in cucumbers.
Effect of Stacking Sequence on Fatigue Performance of CFRP–Al Single-Lap Adhesive Joints: Experimental Study
Authors: Zou Tianchun , Ju Yuezhang , Guan Yuxi , Fu Ji
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to explore failure mechanisms of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP)–aluminium (Al) single-lap adhesive joints which CFRP adherends had different stacking sequences. These results showed that fatigue performance of CFRP decreased as the number of 45° plies increased, which caused the initial failure location to gradually move from the adhesive layer towards the CFRP. Under high load levels, joint-failure models were influenced by the stacking sequence of CFRP; large-area cohesive failure occurred in joints when the CFRP stacking sequence was [0/90]4s and [0/45/−45/90]2s, and delamination failure occurred when the CFRP stacking sequence was [45/−45]4s, due to the weak interlaminar properties of CFRP. However, under low load levels, the stacking sequence of CFRP had little effect on the failure model of the joint, with interfacial failure being the main failure mode for all joints due to weakening of the mechanical interlock.

Authors: Shi Xiu-Zhi , Zhu Jin-Yun , Zhang Shu
Published: November 2022

In order to study the application of the Cobb-Douglas production function on the optimization of safety inputs and further reduce accident losses, two safety input structures of a coal mine enterprise were constructed using literature, and the weight order of each safety input indicator was determined by the entropy weight method (EWM) and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The Cobb-Douglas production function was used to calculate the accident loss function of the safety input structure, and the accident loss function was obtained by multiple regression analysis. The optimal configuration of safety inputs was obtained by fitting the accident loss function. Finally, the optimal loss and mean squared error (MSE) of the corresponding functions of the two safety input structures were compared. The results show that the optimal configuration of Safety Input Structure 2 is better than that of Safety Input Structure 1, and the MSE of Safety Input Structure 2 is less than that of Safety Input Structure 1. The research results demonstrate that coal enterprises can find more significant indicators by refining the safety input structure and increasing monetary resources for more crucial indicators of safety input to effectively minimize accident loss and boost economic benefits, and to test the quality of safety input structures’ regression function using MSE.
The Intelligence of Spiritual Intelligence: Making the Case
Authors: Amram Yosi Joseph
Published: November 2022

Spiritual Intelligence (SI) is the ability to draw on and embody spiritual qualities and resources to enhance daily functioning and wellbeing. Despite Gardner’s rejection of SI, the proliferation of SI models and research supporting the advantages of SI across a wide field of endeavors, and correlation with neurological structures and genetic indicators strongly support its validity as an intelligence. This article reviewed key models of SI, and studies supporting its adaptability and biological correlates. Puzzling results in some areas warrant exploration, especially the degree to which various models converge and the extent to which a single SI model may be truly universal.

Published: November 2022

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder impacting patients’ movement, causing a variety of movement abnormalities. It has been the focus of research studies for early detection based on wearable technologies. The benefit of wearable technologies in the domain rises by continuous monitoring of this population’s movement patterns over time. The ubiquity of wrist-worn accelerometry and the fact that the wrist is the most common and acceptable body location to wear the accelerometer for continuous monitoring suggests that wrist-worn accelerometers are the best choice for early detection of the disease and also tracking the severity of it over time. In this study, we use a dataset consisting of one-week wrist-worn accelerometry data collected from individuals with Parkinson’s disease and healthy elderlies for early detection of the disease. Two feature engineering methods, including epoch-based statistical feature engineering and the document-of-words method, were used. Using various machine learning classifiers, the impact of different windowing strategies, using the document-of-words method versus the statistical method, and the amount of data in terms of number of days were investigated. Based on our results, PD was detected with the highest average accuracy value (85% ± 15%) across 100 runs of SVM classifier using a set of features containing features from every and all windowing strategies. We also found that the document-of-words method significantly improves the classification performance compared to the statistical feature engineering model. Although the best performance of the classification task between PD and healthy elderlies was obtained using seven days of data collection, the results indicated that with three days of data collection, we can reach a classification performance that is not significantly different from a model built using seven days of data collection.
Sexual Harassment or Just Coaching? Sport Students Making Sense of Possibly Sexualising Coach Behaviours

Published: November 2022

Research has shown that athletes are divided in their assessment of possibly sexualising behaviours from coaches towards athletes. How they arrive at their conclusions has received less attention—yet it is crucial to understand as a basis for safeguarding measures. Using video-elicitation focus group interviews with sport students, we zoomed in on different types of ‘grey area’ situations involving coaches and athletes. We drew on social script theory to highlight the cultural tools sport students use to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable coaching behaviours. Our analyses showed that the students drew on two types of scripts in their interpretative work: (1) sport scripts, denoting templates for ‘normal’ coach–athlete interactions (typically with a performance and/or caring rationale), and (2) sexual harassment scripts, encompassing beliefs and expectations of how sexual transgressions play out and among whom. We discuss how the students evaluated concrete grey area situations by comparing and contrasting them with both scripts. In these assessments, the students relied on cues and clues from the portrayed interactions, including the gender of the coach and athlete and knowledge about the specific sport setting. Our analyses demonstrate how views about sexual harassment in sport relate to the specificities of the sport setting and the gendered social dynamics in the situation.

Published: November 2022

Since the advent of the Internet has changed how risk information develops and disseminates, citizens’ risk perception alters correspondingly. Although extant studies have explored the impacts of Internet use on citizens, only a few have focused on citizens’ perception of social safety exclusively. This study examined the effect of Internet use and Internet use frequency on citizens’ perception of social safety with 2017 China Social Survey data. It found that Internet use and Internet use frequency have a significant negative impact on citizens’ social safety perception. Compared to non-users, the probability of perceiving society as very safe decreases significantly by 2.3% for Internet users. Subsequently, this study avoided the endogeneity issues by employing the Bioprobit and CMP methods, and the robustness check adopted propensity score matching methods. In general, it supported results in benchmark regression. The heterogeneity analysis indicated that Internet use had a higher negative impact on citizens in the western region, rural household registration, and middle-aged groups. It suggests that the establishment of a comprehensive mechanism to regulate online information involving governments, Internet industrial organizations, and Internet users may improve governance effectiveness. In addition, education targeting Internet literacy is required to enable a more rational citizen participation on the Internet.

Colonisation et civilisation : le cas de la Russie et de la Guyane
Authors: Goggi Gianluigi
Published: November 2022

La civilisation est généralement considérée comme une lente évolution qui mène de la «barbarie » à une société où fleurissent les «sciences et les arts » . Cet article vise à faire le point sur une configuration particulière de l’idée de civilisation, telle qu’elle est attestée en France au cours des années 1760 et 1770 et telle qu’elle trouve son expression dans les pages de l’Histoire des deux Indes de l’abbé Raynal, ouvrage auquel collabora Diderot. Dans les différents livres de cette oeuvre, sont développés des projets de colonisation qui, à travers des étapes bien définies, peuvent contribuer à créer une société civilisée. La civilisation est conçue comme un projet politique de mise en place des conditions sociales et politiques («propriété et liberté » ) suscitant l’essor d’une société nouvelle. Ainsi, dans les livres V et XIII de l’ouvrage de l’abbé Raynal sont présentés les projets de colonisation lancés par Catherine II dans l’empire de Russie et ceux que le baron de Bessner chercha à réaliser dans la Guyane française. Il n’y a pas de différence, constate-t-on, entre les méthodes de colonisation mises en oeuvre dans les régions de l’Europe (Russie et ailleurs) et celles pratiquées dans les colonies américaines. La prise en compte et l’examen de ces expériences semblent aboutir à une nouvelle conception temporelle de l’idée de civilisation, qui exclut de transformer, à brève échéance, une réalité complexe comme celle de la Russie ou de la Guyane. La relation entre colonisation et civilisation serait donc confirmée, non dans sa version

forte (la toute-puissance du projet politique) qu’on peut retrouver dans des articles de l’abbé Baudeau publiés dans les Éphémérides du citoyen, mais dans sa version faible, créée par la confrontation politique à la réalité et surtout par une nouvelle conscience historique selon laquelle la civilisation de l’Europe est bien le produit de l’activité humaine et non pas le résultat d’un projet ou d’un clair dessein des hommes. Tout est plutôt le fruit d’une lente évolution où «plusieurs événements heureux et différentes circonstances favorables » ont joué un rôle fondamental.
John Ware (1807-1841) : traces et mémoire d'une trajectoire goréenne
Authors: Gachon Nicolas
Published: November 2022

Il existe peu de travaux sur les occupations britanniques de Gorée de 1663 à 1664, de 1758 à 1763, de 1779 à 1784, de 1800 à 1804 et, les Français ayant repris Gorée en 1804 mais l’ayant reperdue la même année, de 1804 à 1816. Ces périodes sont riches d’enseignements sur les relations entre les populations locales et les sujets de la puissance occupante. Elles sont en cela complémentaires aux cas mieux documentés des occupations françaises. Des unions interraciales impliquant des sujets britanniques se sont nouées à Gorée au XIXe siècle, métissages dont la mémoire parfois douloureuse, souvent parcellaire et toujours en quête de sens s’est construite pour partie autour de la conscience diffuse d’une ascendance britannique. La trajectoire du dénommé John Ware né à Gorée en 1807 sous occupation britannique et décédé en 1841 sous occupation française, la mémoire contemporaine de cette trajectoire et l’analyse de ses mécanismes forment l’objet de la présente étude de cas.
M.-L. Bonaventure Urtis (1795-1852), avocat et colon. La défense de la colonisation civile dans l’Algérie des années 1830-1850
Authors: Hanoune Jacques
Published: November 2022

Les premières étapes de la colonisation en Algérie sont marquées par une opposition incessante entre un pouvoir militaire aux attributions fluctuantes, et une société civile locale faite d’aventuriers et de colons. Parmi ces métropolitains, M.-L. Bonaventure Urtis (1795-1852) a joué un rôle particulier, qui mérite d’être relaté. Avocat impécunieux à Marseille, il émigre à Alger pour y faire fortune. Il doit à ses talents d’avocat de devenir très influent parmi les colons. Il crée lui-même une ferme à Kouba près d’Alger et rencontre à ce titre à plusieurs reprisesTocqueville à qui il laisse une impression très favorable. Il est délégué des colons à la commission parlementaire sur la colonisation en 1842 et influence tellement son auditoire qu’il est nommé au poste de chargé de la colonisation au ministère de la Guerre en charge de l’Algérie. Il exerce ce rôle à de titres divers jusqu’à son décès en 1852. S’opposant systématiquement à Bugeaud, il défend une colonisation civile et non militaire. Il met en forme sur le plan juridique toutes les décisions concernant l’Algérie et devient un fonctionnaire irremplaçable. Son rôle bien mis en lumière dans les travaux anciens de V. Demontès, est actuellement méconnu et mérite d’être rappelé.
Photographier la ville coloniale. Les transformations de Casablanca, entre cartes postales et inventaire photographique (1912-1929)
Authors: Bertoni Angelo
Published: November 2022

The history of colonial cities seems relevant to explore the wealth of information that photography can bring to urban history but also to question the production context, the audience and the objectives, related to photographic images. The transformation of Casablanca and the construction of its "European city" are here analysed from two sets of photographs made between 1912 and 1929. The first is the result of a scientific program, the Archives de la Planète, funded by the banker Albert Kahn and coordinated by the geographer Jean Brunhes. The second is the result of Marcelin Flandrins’ professional activity, a photographer was based in Casablanca at the beginning of the century. These two series of photographs show the richness of views on colonial town planning and architecture.

Portanto, o projeto apresenta como objetivo avaliar os casos de doenças autoimunes diagnosticadas e tratadas no ambulatório da Policlínica Oswaldo Cruz, no município de Porto Velho, RO. A Policlínica Oswaldo Cruz é um hospital de referência para o estado de Rondônia e estados vizinhos como Mato Grosso, Acre e Amazonas. A coleta de dados referentes à doença, diagnóstico e tratamento, foi realizada por meio de um questionário, com perguntas sobre qual doença em questão, além disso, o questionário contém perguntas sobre gênero, idade, tratamento, possíveis queixas e dificuldades no dia a dia devido à patologia, a identificação do paciente foi preservada. Os dados foram coletados durante as consultas médicas, que ocorrem três vezes por semana. Participaram da pesquisa 83 pacientes, a partir de suas respostas foi possível analisar o perfil epidemiológico, do total, 52% eram pardos, 87,9% do sexo feminino o que é sugestivo que doenças autoimunes estão ligadas a esteroides sexuais, além disso, a maioria das pacientes encontra-se desempregada pois a patologia é um fator limitante. De acordo com os dados coletados, as doenças autoimunes com maiores incidências no município são Artrite Reumatoide seguido de Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico, para o tratamento dessas doenças 35 pacientes responderam que há uma distribuição parcial pelo SUS, fato este que atrapalha o tratamento, devido a medicação ter um elevado custo. A identificação do paciente foi preservada.

Published: November 2022

Retention of the placenta is a delay in the delivery of the placenta for thirty minutes after the birth of the baby. In some cases, recurrent placental retention (habitual retention of the placenta) may occur. The placenta must be delivered immediately because it can cause complications such as bleeding, infection as a result of inanimate objects, placental incarceration can occur, can cause placental polyps, and malignant degeneration of choriocarcinoma. Afisya Clinic, Hamlet III Melur, East Sambirejo Village, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency, 2017-2021. The study was conducted at the Afisya clinic from January to June 2022. The type of research was descriptive analytical with case control. The population and sample were 92 with nonprobability sampling technique or saturated sample, the research instrument was clinical records or medical records. Data processing by editing, coding, tabulating, and data entry. The results of the univariate analysis showed that of the 92 mothers who experienced retained placenta, the majority of mothers with Retention Placenta were at mild risk as many as 83 respondents (90.2%). The majority of the age at risk were 50 respondents (54.3%). (54.3%) The majority of risky delivery distances were 48 respondents (52.2%). From the results of the statistical test, the Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.128. 95% CI = 0.015-1.070 and P value 0.036 <0.05, which means that there is a significant relationship between maternal age characteristics and the incidence of retained placenta.

Angiografía coronaria en insuficiencia cardíaca aguda en Argentina: predictores clínicos, resultados e implicancia pronóstica y terapéutica
Authors:   , Cursack Guillermo César
Published: November 2022

A pesar de las recomendaciones en relación a la indicación de angiografía coronaria para el diagnóstico etiológico de la insuficiencia cardíaca (IC) con fracción de eyección reducida, poco se conoce acerca de su implementación y, según registros nacionales, se sospecha un sub-diagnóstico de la etiología isquémica en la Argentina. Objetivo: Analizar los factores que intervienen en la indicación de angiografía coronaria en diferentes subgrupos de pacientes durante el estudio etiológico de la IC. Material y métodos: Se realizó un registro multicéntrico, observacional, prospectivo ingresando casos incidentes de ICA diagnosticados en dos períodos, REARGIC I: Marzo 2013/Febrero 2014, y REARGIC II: Diciembre 2014/Marzo 2016. Se incluyeron 1257 pacientes admitidos en 31 centros, pertenecientes a 11 provincias de la República Argentina. Resultados: De los 1257 pacientes incluidos en el registro, 528 (42%) habían sido evaluados con una angiografía coronaria. En este subgrupo, 369 (69.9%) fueron considerados como IC de etiología isquémica. Éstos pacientes fueron más frecuentemente hombres, tabaquistas, dislipémicos, diabéticos, con deterioro en la función renal, antecedentes de arteriopatía periférica, infarto de miocardio previo o angina crónica estable. Presentaban, además, al menos una internación previa por IC y FE reducida (<40%). En caso de otra comorbilidad como posible etiología de la IC (hipertensión, fibrilación auricular, cardiopatía restrictiva) la angiografía coronaria se realizó menos frecuentemente. Así también, en presencia de tratamientos con menor número de drogas recomendadas para IC, BCRI (bloqueo completo de rama izquierda), cardiomegalia, disponibilidad de péptidos natriuréticos y troponinas, se realizaron mayor cantidad de angiografías. En el análisis multivariado, los predictores independientes de solicitud de angiografía coronaria en IC fueron: edad (>65 años), etiología isquémica sospechada por el investigador, FE reducida, infarto de miocardio previo y antecedente de FA (fibrilación auricular). Los primeros predicen la mayoría de las angiografías solicitadas. Conclusión: En pacientes hospitalizados por IC se observó una sub-indicación de angiografía coronaria lo que confirma el sub-diagnóstico de IC de etiología isquémica en ésta población. Además, en los considerados de etiología isquémica, al 30% nunca se le solicito una angiografía coronaria ni se indicó revascularización o tratamiento específico. El diagnóstico etiológico en IC es fundamental para indicar un tratamiento adecuado que modifique el pronóstico y mejore la calidad de vida de estos pacientes.

Di dalam penelitian ini, telah didesain instrumen penilaian kelayakan sebuah desa wisata. Desa wisata yang menjadi kajian dalam penelitian ini adalah desa wisata Burai, kabupaten Ogan Ilir, provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Desa ini masuk 50 besar sebagai desa wisata terbaik pada Anugerah Desa Wisata Indonesia 2021 dan telah disyahkan oleh menteri pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif Republik Indonesia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melakukan penilaian kelayakan desa ini sebagai desa wisata di Indonesia. Setelah dilakukannya verifikasi/kroscek lapangan, ditemukan bahwa kesiapan/kelayakan desa wisata Burai hanya bernilai 37 %, maka dapat disimpukan bahwa desa ini belum sepenuhnya siap menjadi desa wisata di kabupaten Ogan Ilir. Peneliti menemukan masih banyak hal-hal yang belum standar untuk bisa masuk dalam kategori sebagai desa wisata di Indonesia. Desa ini sebenarnya memiliki potensi yang cukup kuat untuk menjadi desa wisata, namun perlu adanya pengelolaan berkelanjutan yang lebih serius lagi baik pengelolaan sumber daya manusia dan sumber daya alamnya dan tentu ini menjadi tanggung jawab para stakeholder yang terkait.
Application of sawdust concrete in construction
Authors: Kropidłowska Oliwia
Published: November 2022

Sawdust concrete is a type of lightweight concrete in which some of the mineral aggregate is replaced by sawdust - a by-product of wood processing. It is not a new material, but its potential is not utilised to its full degree. Taking into account the most important advantages of sawdust concrete - lower density and greater thermal and acoustic insulation than ordinary concrete - it is worth to consider the possibilities of its usage in construction  wider than currently . In order to present the properties of sawdust concrete, the review of contemporary technical literature has been performed.

For the production of sawdust concretes mineralized sawdust from various types of trees, ordinary cements, mineral aggregates and water, are used. The usage of additives and admixtures is also allowed. The properties of the finished sawdust concrete are mainly influenced by the proportion of its components, especially the amount of fine aggregates replaced by sawdust. The construction products made of sawdust concrete are characterized by a low coefficient of thermal conductivity λ and soundproofing properties. In bending tests, a simply supported sawdust concrete beam behaves similar to a regular concrete beam, cracks first appear in the tension zone. Tensile strength, compressive strength and Young's modulus of sawdust concrete products depend on the proportion of components and the method of sawdust preparation before applying in the sawdust concrete-mix. Compared to ordinary concrete, the obtained values for sawdust concrete are lower, but partially fall within the ranges for the lower classes of ordinary concrete.

There are several possible applications of sawdust concrete in construction. One of the perspectives is to use it to build walls in buildings that require soundproofing between rooms, or to replace wood with it when renovating old buildings. However, further tests of sawdust concrete are needed in terms of the most favourable composition for its mechanical properties, and to define the standards according to which sawdust concrete elements should be produced.

Ez az eljárás a legegyszerűbb és leggyorsabb megoldó algoritmus, mert egyetlen mező vizsgálata alapján hoz döntést a következő felfordítandó mezővel kapcsolatban. A vizsgálat során az Egypontos stratégia 4 változatát implementáltuk. Az alap algoritmus megáll, ha nem tud 100%-os biztossággal továbblépni. A további három algoritmus eltérő tippelési stratégiát alkalmaz, amikor nem tud biztonságosan dönteni. A futási eredmények igazolják, hogy a legjobb kidolgozott módszer hatékonysága kezdő és haladó szinten megközelíti a benchmark CSPS visszalépéses algoritmus eredményességét.
Investigation of industrial waste heat storage in shallow porous systems
Authors: Zákányi Balázs , Nyiri Gábor , Szűcs Péter
Published: November 2022

In our research we investigated the potential of heat storage under shallow porous conditions. In this case, the thermal energy storage is performed by an aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES), which is a subsurface saturated natural rock layer. This type of thermal storage can have different effects on both groundwater and deep aquifers, and therefore we need to know the behaviour of ATES systems. The modelling was carried out using a module of the Groundwater Modelling System (GMS). The main objective of our waste heat storage simulation studies was to develop an alternative to this type of thermal storage for industrial facilities with large amounts of waste heat.
