Pojazdy poruszające się po liniach kolejowych, bocznicach itp. podlegają nieuchronnym procesom starzenia a zastosowane w nich elementy ulegają procesom zużycia. Na przestrzeni lat eksploatacji pojazdu zmieniają się również przepisy oraz wymagania jakie musi spełniać pojazd poddany procesowi uzyskania dopuszczenia do ruchu. Modernizacja i odnowienie pojazdów jest więc istotnym elementem w życiu pojazdu pozwalając na ich eksploatację z najnowocześniejszymi rozwiązaniami konstrukcyjnymi. W artykule zaprezentowano obowiązujące w Polsce przepisy prawne wynikające zarówno prawa wspólnotowego oraz z prawa krajowego. Przedstawiono możliwe drogi postępowania dla dopuszczania pojazdów po modernizacji i odnowieniu. Zaprezentowano elementy wspólne oraz rozbieżności wynikające z prawa wspólnotowego oraz krajowego dla przeprowadzenia procesu ponownego włączenia do eksploatacji pojazdu po przeprowadzonej modernizacji i odnowieniu.

Authors: Bajerlein Maciej
Published: July 2021

W artykule omówiono zagadnienia związane z pomiarem wskaźników pracy silnika oraz parametrów konwencjonalnego autobusu w ruchu. Pomiary wykonano w rzeczywistych warunkach ruchu autobusu miejskiego w Poznaniu. Warto zauważyć, że badania drogowe w rzeczywistych warunkach eksploatacyjnych PEMS (Portable Emissions Monitoring System) są jednym z głównych trendów rozwoju metodologii badań i stopniowo zyskują na znaczeniu. Specyficzne warunki zostały dobrane tak, aby jak najlepiej odzwierciedlić stan faktyczny: ruch zbliżony do ruchu typowego dla zwykłej linii autobusowej (przeciętny ruch na trasach poznańskich). Testy były prowadzone przez dwa dni (piątek i sobotę), charakteryzujące się odpowiednio bardzo dużą i bardzo małą liczbą przewożonych osób oraz dużym i średnim natężeniem ruchu. W trakcie testów silnik i parametry jazdy rejestrowane były w sposób ciągły przesyłane z systemu diagnostycznego pojazdu i GPS. Przedstawiona w artykule metoda badawcza PEMS (badania emisji spalin w warunkach rzeczywistych) może zostać wykorzystana w pomiarze emisji spalin także w pojazdach szynowych o napędzie spalinowym.

Oddziaływania wibroakustyczne w aglomeracji miejskiej stanowią ważny element pogarszający komfort warunków pracy i odpoczynku dla mieszkańców. Jako główne powierzchniowe źródła tych oddziaływań wskazać można strefy uprzemysłowione, ale poza tymi obszarami występuje znacząca liczba źródeł liniowych w postaci szlaków komunikacyjnych. We wskazanych miejscach zidentyfikować można punktowe źródła przemysłowe oraz punktowe źródła ruchome o losowej lub okresowej powtarzalności, które stanowią pojedyncze przejazdy środków transportu. Interakcje dynamiczne zachodzące pomiędzy suprastrukturą oraz eksploatowaną infrastrukturą transportową są zjawiskiem ważnym i podlegają ciągłym analizom, ze względu na mnogość stosowanych rozwiązań systemów wibroizolacji. Statystyki wykazują, iż narażenie mieszkańców miast stanowi około 60% całkowitej populacji społeczeństwa łącznego narażenia na oddziaływania wibroakustyczne. W pracy poddano uwadze oddziaływania emitowane do środowiska dla wybranych typów rozwiązań wibroizolacji wybranego torowiska tramwajowego z zachowaniem tego samego wymuszenia. Poddano szczegółowej analizie oddziaływania występujące w otoczeniu torowiska. W badaniach wykorzystano autorskie oprogramowanie w środowisku Matlab.

Tłok wraz z pierścieniami oraz powierzchnią cylindra jest bardzo złożonym zamkniętym systemem
trybologicznym. Pierścienie tłoka – cylinder jest jedną z najbardziej globalnie rozpowszechnionych
par tarcia silników spalinowych. Para tarcia TPC jest rozwiązaniem wytwarzającym
znaczące tarcie w silnikach spalinowych. Różne źródła naukowe określają straty na jeden
węzeł spowodowane tarciem pary pierścień-ściana cylindra jako 19 do 60% wartości
wszystkich strat tarcia w silniku spalinowym. W tym artykule omówiono część większego programu
badawczego mającego na celu zmniejszenie zużycia pracujących elementów (tłok, pierścienie
tłoka, powierzchnia cylindra). Projekt ten jest wdrażany w ramach rozwoju nowych konstrukcji
pierścieni tłokowych z powłoką zapobiegającą zużyciu, zawierającą syntetyczny diament
luźno zatopiony w powłoce chromu (TPC). Celem Autorów było przedstawienie metodologii
stosowanej do obliczeń charakteryzującej się określoną procedurą. W praktyce wykorzystuje się
oprogramowanie MES oraz MOS. Opracowany i wdrożony moduł obliczeniowy pierścieni tłokowych
jest zgodny z ideą numerycznych metod obliczeniowych, to znaczy: funkcjonalnie polega
na przeprowadzeniu obliczenia zamiaru uzyskania dokładnego wyniku (najbardziej zbliżonego

Published: July 2021

W artykule zaprezentowano metodykę badań termowizyjnych hamulca tarczowego pojazdu
szynowego DB Link III w warunkach poligonowych. Na przykładzie wspomnianego pojazdu
opracowano metodykę badań oraz przeprowadzono pomiar rozkładu temperatury tarczy
hamulcowej w czasie hamowania. W artykule szczególną uwagę zwrócono na konfigurację
kamery termowizyjnej do rzeczywistych warunków występujących podczas badania. Jest to
istotne, gdyż ze względu na obracającą się tarczę hamulcową, utrudniona jest weryfikacja
wartości temperatury innym stykowym przyrządem pomiarowym. W wyjątkowych sytuacjach
stosuje się pomiar temperatury z zastosowaniem termopar, jednak wymaga to rozbudowanego
dodatkowego układu pomiarowego, co znacząco wydłuży czas przygotowania obiektu do badań
i zwiększy jego koszty. Mimo, że kamerą termowizyjną dokonuje się pomiaru temperatury w
sposób pośredni, prawidłowa konfiguracja ustawień kamery do warunków rzeczywistych, może
wpłynąć na kilku procentowy błąd pomiaru.

The presence of mineromedicinal water springs in Ecuador is related to the large number of volcanoes that exist in the country, which have been used since ancient times as medicines by the population. However, it is unknown what bacterial biodiversity is present. Therefore, the objective of these work was to determine the bacterial biodi- versity of the mineromedicinal waters of “Urauco” spa located in Pichincha Provinces of Ecuador. Water samples of a volume of 1 liter were taken at two points in each spa studied. Sampling was done 2 times over a period of two year. To take and transport the samples, the Ecuadorian standards INEN 2 176-98 and INEN 2 169-98 were followed. For the determination of bacterial biodiversity, the techniques of planting, selection and identification of bacteria indicated by Barrow and Feltan (2004) and MacFfadin (2004) were used, complemented with the bio- chemical tests contained in the API (BioMérieux) galleries and Microgen (Microgen corp.). The results indicate a population of heterotrophic bacteria in the spa waters of 3.1 x 102 CFU / mL, with the prevalence of Gram negative bacteria of the Gamma Proteobacteria class. It was possible to isolate and identify 64 colonies of bacteria. The genera of bacteria were Acidovorax, Aeromonas, Bacillus, Brevundimonas, Budvicia, Citrobacter, Corynebacterium, Edwardsiella, Enterococcus, Ewingella, Flavobacterium, Kurthia, Micrococcus, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Psychrobacter, Ralstonia, Staphylococcus, Vibrio and Yokonella.

Authors: Hidalgo Sanz Raquel
Published: July 2021

The veterinary medicinal sector is gaining more and more importance in Spain because of the increasing of livestock population and pets, and the significant healthcare costs that they involve. Given this situation, are the owners, veterinarians and especially pharmacists, properly prepared and informed? As it can be seen in the compilation of laws about sale and distribution of veterinary medicaments presented in this work, nowadays there is not a legislation adapted to the health requirements of these animals. Indeed, there are some problems in the application of the law such the intrusion of veterinarians in the own and legally established pharmacist’s functions and the ilegal sale of veterinary drugs by non properly authorized establishments. Concerning the pharmacist’s role, the lack of information and training in this area, is manifested in several aspects such a limited ability of pharmaceutical advice and the admission of prescriptions improperly filled by the veterinarian. Taken together, it increases the risk of abuse or wrong use of drugs by the owner, assuming a real danger not only for the animal itself, but also for the people, as in the case of antibiotics consumption. In conclusion, we are facing a critical problem of law regulation and lack of knowledge between owners and healthcare professionals. Therefore, it would be necessary that Universities and Official Colleges carry out information campaigns and organize specific training to pharmacists and veterinarians

Authors: Anastasiou Georgia , Liamis George , Milionis Haralampos , Elisaf Moses , Christopoulou Eliza , Dimitriou Theodora , Liberopoulos Evangelos N.
Published: July 2021

Aim: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering and cardiovascular risk reduction. Data on clinical implementation of PCSK9 inhibitors in real life setting in Greece is limited. Thus, we report 2-year experience with PCSK9 inhibitors in clinical practice at a University Hospital Lipid Clinic. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective study of patients who were first prescribed a PCSK9 inhibitor during 2016-2018. Patients had either established cardiovascular disease (CVD) and/or familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and LDL-C level >100 mg/dL despite maximum tolerated high-intensity statin plus ezetimibe. Patient demographics, medical history, concomitant medications and laboratory results were documented during visits. Results: We included 37 patients (mean age 52 years, 56.8% males). Of patients, 28 (76%) had established CVD and 27 patients (74%) had FH. Concerning treatment, 33 patients (89%) were receiving high-intensity statin, while 35 patients (95%) were also on ezetimibe 10 mg. Addition of PCSK9 inhibitors (51% on evolocumab 140 mg per 2 weeks (Q2W), 22% on alirocumab 75 mg Q2W and 27% on alirocumab 150 mg Q2W) resulted in a reduction of total cholesterol by 42% and LDL-C by 59% after 2 months (p<0.05). These reductions remained unchanged after 1 and 2 years on treatment. Thirty patients (81%) achieved LDL-C treatment goal following PCSK9i treatment. Four patients (11%) developed minor adverse effects. No treatment discontinuation was reported. Conclusion: In real-life setting addition of PCSK9 inhibitors to maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy resulted in reductions of LDL-C levels of the magnitude seen in clinical studies. These reductions were sustainable during a 2-year follow-up.

Published: July 2021

Aim: The sex-specific effect of lipid-related biomarkers on 10-year first fatal/non fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence was evaluated. Material and Methods: ATTICA study was conducted during 2001-2012. N=1,514 men and n=1,528 women (>18 years) from greater Athens area, Greece were recruited. Follow-up (2011-2012) was achieved in n=2,020 participants.Baseline lipid profile was measured. In particular, total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides (TGL), apolipoprotein B100 and A1 (ApoB100 and ApoA1) were measured. Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was assessed through the Friedewald formula. Results: Overall CVD event was 15.5% (n=317) (19.7% in men and 11.7% in women, p<0.001). HDL-C and TGL were independently associated with CVD in women; per 10mg/dL HDL-C increase, Hazard Ratio (HR)=0.73,95% Confidence Interval (95%CI)(0.53, 1.00) and per 10mg/dLTGL increase, HR=1.10,95%CI(1.00, 1.21). ApoA1 (per 10mg/dL increase, HR=0.90,95%CI(0.81, 0.99)) was inversely associated with CVD in women while a positive association with apoB100 was observed only in men (per 10mg/dL increase, HR=1.10,95%CI(1.00, 1.21)). Conclusions: Beyond the common cholesterol-adjusted risk scores, reclassifying total CVD risk according to other lipid markers may contribute to early CVD prevention.

SARS-COV2 infection has caused epidemic with an increased death toll that have surpassed the combined death tolls of previous acute respiratory syndromes.Due to the incremental role between COVID-19 infection and ACE2 activity, there are significant implication for cardiovascular complications, due to many reasons, like preexistence of cardiovascular disease; direct and indirect cardiovascular complications; adverse effects from therapies for COVID-19 under investigation. In this review epidemiological data; pathophysiological mechanisms; the implication of cardiovascular system and current therapeutic approach, are presented, according to recent published medical literature. Due to the incremental role between COVID-19 infection and ACE2 activity, there are significant implication for cardiovascular complications; while as renin-angiotensin system play a central role in the disease pathogenesis, there has been a large discussion how to handle medications related to this neurohormonal system. As subjects with increased reactivity of ACE-AngI-AngII axis show vulnerability in more symptomatic course of COVID-19 infection, all scientific societies underly that abrupt discontinuation of medication targeting on renin-angiotensin system in high-risk patients, including those who have arterial hypertension and heart failure, may result in clinical instability and adverse health outcomes.Anothre serious issue that has emerged for medical society is that the response to COVID-19 and the significant attention that is given for this medical condition, may compromise the rapid triage of non-COVID-19 patients with other cardiovascular conditions.

Published: July 2021

In pavement design and analysis processes among mechanistic-empirical pavement design method, defining the Dynamic Elasticity Modulus(E*) of asphalt layers are very important. In analysis processes, predicting the deteriorations and E* requires some special devices and a lot of time. To simplify this process different prediction models and different approaches have been developed to predict E*. These prediction approaches prepared with huge amount of input data gathered both from construction site and laboratory tests to predict the binder and the volumetric properties of the HMA. In this paper four prediction equations have been applied to predict E* and compared the results with each other. The infrastructure model has chosen as an existing highway section with known HMA material properties. The analyses have done for five different temperatures (10⁰F, 40⁰F, 70⁰F, 100⁰F and 130⁰F) by using two different frequency values (4Hz and 10 Hz). The aim of this research study is doing a comparative assessment of four widely used E* prediction models. Results have shown a large bias between compared E*prediction results due to temperature, frequency, and material properties. Higher Frequency and newest models have shown higher E* values.

Islam was comprehensive for all human races, in all areas of their lives, and whenever they live until the Judgment Day is coming. This is what is commonly called as Islam is universal. When The Prophet Muhammad SAW was performing of Hajj Wadā’ came down the al-Mā’idah verse: 3 has become an argument for some Muslims to show that Islam is perfect. In this time, many cases of a wrong understanding of religion's perfection will cause problems such as radicalism, disbelief of other groups, and even terrorism. Therefore, the writer used two problem statements: how is the interpretation of religion perfection in QS. al-Mā’idah : 3 according to Tafsīr Ibnu ‘Abbās and Tafsir Al-Azhar then how is the relevance of Ibnu ‘Abbas and Hamka’s interpretation related to the perfection of religion with the Indonesian context. The method used by the writer in this research is library research with descriptive analysis and used philosophical hermeneutics by Hans Georg Gadamer.  Then, the writer concluded The meaning perfection of religion in QS. al-Mā’idah : 3 according to Ibnu ‘Abbas in Tafsīr Ibnu ‘Abbās which is Allah SWT has perfected the faith of the Prophet Muhammad and the believers, there is no need for additions and no deductions for eternity. According to Hamka in Tafsir Al-Azhar, the perfection of religion is the creed, worship, syariat, muamalah, and munakahat was sufficient and there will be no additional. However, Hamka allows for ijtihad in matters other than worship and syariat. Therefore, Islam does not freeze. Then, in Indonesia context that consists of various tribes, languages, cultures, and religions. Therefore, the meaning of surrender to God can be reflected in Indonesia. Because all religions also teach surrender to God or in other words “kalimatun sawā’”. Suppose someone has a resigned attitude to God. In that case, it will minimize fanaticism, claiming the truth of his religion, insulting other groups who disagree with their perception, the narrow meaning of jihad and the blasphemy of religion, even radicalism, because someone considers that in other religions there is also faith. However, change is greatly affected by time and space. In terms of religions, that is permanent, and some are changing or normative Islam and historical Islam. By having an attitude of surrender to God, it is possible to happen tolerant to other religions. In brief, Indonesia can still be a country with the slogan “Bhineka Tunggal Ika” which means “unity in diversity”.

Differences in understanding the distribution pattern of inheritance rights potentially cause disputes which fade the family relationships and merge endless conflicts among the family members. The aim of the research is to comprehend the implementation of inheritance dispute arrangement based on local wisdom as an alternative method in achieving the community’s balance and harmony that they still consider the arrangement through a court action as a taboo of settlement. The research shows several findings; factors that influence the differences in the distribution of inheritance in Gayasan A, Jenggawah, Jember Regency are the absence of communication between the heirs (the giver) and heirs, which is known as debik kek lopaen; and the community’s view of the heirs also influence the distribution of inheritance rights, so that local wisdom is needed as a strategic tool in arranging the disputes by implementing internal discussions among the family members mediated by a customary head and a sanction of exclusion (not diajepi). Data collection was conducted through a combination of literature study and field study by triangulating the results of observations, interviews and questionnaires. The research design applied was the sociology of law with an approach of problem on the unwritten customary law implemented in the community of Gayasan A as a social fact developed from the value system of the community and supported by a theoretical approach

The issue of effectiveness in healthcare plays a role in international debates. The search for adequate tools allowing management to evaluate the correct allocation of resources becomes increasingly necessary. Cost-effectiveness analysis responds to this need, but the variety of tools and solutions proposed makes their application and replicability complex. The aim of this study was to create a starting approach model useful to researchers and professionals to cost-effectiveness problem solving. The study integrates two approaches by unifying the PRISMA-Compliant Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis. The results obtained from the analysis are manifold. Scientific production related to cost-effectiveness in healthcare has increased in the last ten years and is mainly concentrated in three sources. Researchers insert multiple keywords into the articles, but the main ones are cost effectiveness analysis, human, health care cost. The topics covered can be divided into two clusters, which can be further divided into several subgroups. PRISMA analysis reinforces and confirms what has been identified through bibliometric analysis: in cost-effectiveness analysis different methodological bases are applicable to specific individual topics; in particular, the most used approaches to evaluate cost-effectiveness are DES (discrete event simulation) and Mathematical-statistical analysis methodologies, whose applications need the highlighted data. The study also underlines the literature absence of some specific topics such as spillover from primary and secondary health prevention activities, organization of services, rehabilitation activities, centralization of services related to contracts and PPPs, evaluation of infra-hospital care pathways.

The rapid spread of online classes in higher education during and after the COVID-19 pandemic has created a growing need for research that explores the issue of student disengagement in online courses. In this regard, the present study suggests a Peer-Tutoring Online Discussion (POD) class model to increase student engagement in online courses among undergraduate students with diverse sociocultural backgrounds and college majors. The study also examines the impact of the POD approach by exploring the experiences of undergraduate students who took online liberal arts courses that employed the POD model during the 2020 spring semester. Qualitative analysis of discussion data from students indicates that the POD class model includes characteristics that can be especially significant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as opportunities for relationship-building, self-directed learning based on establishing a rapport, and discussion management that considers time limits.

Chrysodeixis includens Walker, 1858 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), commonly known as soybean looper, is one of the main pests that reduces soybean yield due to its defoliation capacity. Population outbreaks of this pest can occur in the vegetative stage of the crop, together with the occurrence of weeds or in the reproductive stage, at the same time as that of diseases. This often requires the use of pesticides against pests and weeds, or fungi at the same time. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the compatibility of baculovirus ChinNPV with different synthetic chemical herbicides and fungicides used in soybean. Four bioassays were carried out, with or without the addition of ChinNPV to different herbicides and fungicides. The artificial diets were immersed in the solutions of the pesticides and their mixture and supplied to the caterpillars of C. includens, immediately and after one and two hours of mixing. The evaluation was performed by quantifying the number of dead caterpillars. The results showed that the ChinNPV baculovirus is compatible for mixing with all studied herbicides and fungicides, even after two hours of mixing. In all the studied scenarios, baculovirus mixed with chemical pesticides triggered the same mortality as sprayed with baculovirus alone, and values of over 80% mortality of C. includens have always been recorded.

Potted flower production is an important floricultural activity. However, there have been few studies on the fertilization management of orchids. Fertigation with urea and potassium chloride is feasible, but little information is available regarding the interaction of these fertilizers with other sources of nutrients. Thus, the present study evaluated the effects of application of bokashi and a simple superphosphate and their interactions with fertigation on the growth and nutrition of hybrid Cattleya. Seedlings of Laeliocattleya Drumbeat × Laeliocattleya Gold Digger hybrid were submitted to two ferti-irrigation levels (absent and present) using urea and potassium chloride as nitrogen and potassium sources, respectively. As complementary fertilization, bokashi and superphosphate were applied singly and in combination. A commercial fertilizer (Peters®) was used as an additional control. Fertigation increased plant height; leaf area; number, length, and diameter of pseudobulbs; dry mass of leaves, pseudobulbs, and roots; and content of chlorophyll, carotenoid, and nitrogen. The application of bokashi resulted in dry mass gain in all plant organs. The combination of fertigation and bokashi was superior to the commercial fertilizer in terms of increased leaf area, chlorophyll A content, carotenoid content, and dry mass.

Knowledge of the expression of traits associated with drought tolerance is important to mitigate impacts on coffee production in a climate change scenario. This study aimed to understand the genetic divergence between Coffea canephora genotypes grown in the Western Amazon based on leaf vegetative and anatomical traits. For this, fifteen high-performance genotypes were evaluated in a randomized block design with five replications of one plant per plot to analyze three leaf vegetative traits (leaf area index, root volume, and total dry mass) and five leaf anatomical traits (polar and equatorial diameter, density and number of stomata, and stomatal area). The data were interpreted using analysis of variance and the Scott-Knott mean cluster test (p ≤ 0.05). The Tocher optimization method and principal component analysis with reference points were used to quantify the genetic divergence. Tocher clustering separated the fifteen clones into five groups, and the scatter in the plane into three groups. Stomatal density was the trait that most contributed to the dissimilarity between genotypes with the potential to be used in future studies for the selection of water deficit-tolerant genotypes. The BRS 3213 genotype showed the greatest genetic dissimilarity and composed a group isolated from the other genotypes in terms of anatomical characteristics. Hybrids 12 and 15 have leaf anatomical traits with higher drought tolerance potential.

The use of saline water for irrigation in semi-arid regions has become a reality due to the water scarcity that occurs in most of the year. In this scenario, exogenous application of salicylic acid may be a strategy to mitigate the deleterious effects of salt stress on plants and ensure the production of socioeconomically important crops in the semiarid region of Northeast Brazil, such as bell pepper. Thus, this study examines the osmoprotective effect of salicylic acid on gas exchanges, chloroplast pigments and production components of ‘All Big’ bell pepper plants irrigated with water with different saline levels. The experiment was carried out in greenhouse conditions in Campina Grande - PB, Brazil. Treatments consisted of four levels of electrical conductivity on the irrigation water (0.8, 1.6, 2.4 and 3.2 dS m-1) and four concentrations of salicylic acid (0, 1.2, 2.4 and 3.6 mM), which were distributed in a 4 × 4 factorial arrangement in a randomized block design with three replicates. Increases in irrigation water salinity from 0.8 dS m-1 resulted in changes in gas exchange and total chlorophyll levels of ‘All Big’ bell pepper plants. The estimated salicylic acid concentration of 1.7 mM reduced the effects of salinity on stomatal conductance, transpiration, CO2 assimilation rate, instantaneous carboxylation efficiency, total chlorophyll and fruit diameters. Irrigation with water of 1.8, 0.8 and 1.6 dS m-1 salinity associated with the estimated salicylic acid concentration of 1.6 mM increased the biosynthesis of chlorophylls a and b and the number of fruits, respectively, in bell pepper plants.
