Experimental Study on Gaseous Moisture Absorption and Swelling of Red-Bed Mudstone in Central Sichuan, China under Different Relative Humidity Environments
Authors: Yu Fei , Tong Kaiwen , Fu Zhenghao , Dai Zhangjun , Li Jian , Huang Kang
Published: August 2023

Aiming to resolve the engineering hazards caused by the long-term micro-swelling of red-bed mudstone, gaseous moisture absorption-swelling tests under four ambient humidities were conducted (60%, 70%, 85% and 99%) by developing a set of experimental devices. Based on the moisture absorption characteristics of mudstone, the effects of a vapor pressure gradient on the equilibrium time, moisture absorption rate and swelling rate were discussed. Combined with its mineral composition and pore structure, the correlation mechanism between gaseous moisture absorption and swelling was explained in depth. The experimental results suggested that the whole process was long-term and slow. The swelling rate was lower than the moisture absorption rate by two orders of magnitude. As a result, the duration of a stable swelling strain was two orders of magnitude higher than that of a stable moisture absorption. The characteristic curve of moisture absorption went through three stages: the rapid stage, dominated by crystal layer adsorption; the intermittent expansion stage, dominated by adsorbed water film; and the decelerated stage, dominated by capillary condensation. In the intermittent expansion stage, as the relative humidity declined, the duration of an intermittency increased, and the number of intermittencies decreased. The evolution of the swelling rate obviously lagged the proportion of moisture absorption. This hysteresis effect reached its maximum when the moisture absorption transitioned from the intermittent expansion stage to the decelerated stage. Moreover, the equilibrium time, moisture absorption ratio and swelling strain all had a non-linear proportional relationship with the relative humidity. In this case, the critical value was 85%. Finally, a unified mathematical expression for the gaseous moisture absorption curve was acquired and the relationship between the swelling strain and the increment of moisture content was fitted; this will provide the necessary research basis for a subsequent simulation of its volume change under changing ambient humidity.

Authors: Henriques Rita , Figueiredo Filipa , Nunes João
Published: August 2023

The development of product-service systems (PSSs) has become one of the most prominent ways in which to promote a circular and resource-efficient economy. These systems shift the focus from selling products as commodities to offering solutions that fulfil customers’ needs and provide added value. PSSs have gained attention due to their potential to foster sustainability, particularly in the context of the circular economy and resource efficiency. This review article analyzes the literature on PSSs for the period of 2016–2022, aiming to explore the links between PSSs, sustainability, circular economy, and resource efficiency. Close to 160 relevant articles were identified and examined. The overall findings reinforce contributions from previous studies, which denote a tendency towards sector-specific studies, barriers, and stimuli to implementation and adoption, and PSS design methodologies in specific industries and sectors. The overall results show a steady growth of PSS literature, as well as consistency in its definition, despite variations according to the perspective from which the topic is analyzed. This study focuses on eight main trends in PSS research, along with eight challenges that arise in its design, implementation, and adoption, identifying avenues for future research.

Published: August 2023

Extreme precipitation poses significant threats to economic development and social security. In order to tackle this formidable issue, the Chinese government has invested substantial investments to promote the “sponge city” project. However, extreme precipitation in Zhengzhou on 21 July 2021 proved that this effort fell far short of its goal, highlighting the difficulty in relying solely on the government to respond to severe disasters. Collaborations between the public and the government have become essential for effectively managing extreme precipitation risk. However, bridging the gap between the public and the government remains a challenging task in China. Interestingly, an Online Collaborative Document (OCD) emerged without any financial investment from the government yet went on to save countless lives. The key lies in that the OCD greatly promoted the cooperation between spontaneous volunteering and official response. This study aims to explain how an OCD encourages effective collaboration between spontaneous volunteering and official responses in tackling extreme precipitation risk. This study employs the method of the case study about the extreme precipitation and analyzes the directed survey on the spontaneous volunteers, grassroots government officials, and affected individuals who used the OCD. Additionally, a variety of data collection techniques, including focus groups and one-on-one interviews, are used to examine the relevant information. This study explores how the OCD eliminated the paradox of collaboration between spontaneous volunteering and the official response thereby fostering coordination between them.
The Importance of Widespread Temperature Conditions on Breakup Characteristics: The Case of Sagavanirktok River, Alaska, USA
Authors: Toniolo Horacio , LaMesjerant Eric , Lai Alex , Keech John , Bailey Joel
Published: August 2023

Daily average springtime air temperatures from four weather stations distributed along north–south and nearly east–west directions within or on the divide of the Sagavanirktok River watershed in Arctic Alaska were studied and compared with discharge measurements and field observations made from 2015 to 2021 during breakup. The results indicate that under widespread air temperature events, during El Niño, rapid and dynamic breakup can occur (promoting sediment transport along the stream), while during La Niña, slow and thermal breakup can be expected. Due to these climate pattern effects, open channel conditions (i.e., ice-free channels) are reached earlier (18 May 2015) during El Niño and later (7 June 2021) during La Niña.
Regional Flow Influenced Recirculation Zones of Pump‒and‒Treat Systems for Groundwater Remediation with One or Two Injection Wells: An Analytical Comparison
Authors: Zhang Shuai , Wang Xu-Sheng
Published: August 2023

As a widely employed method for in situ remediation of groundwater contamination, the pump-and-treat (PAT) system involves the management of water recirculation between the extraction and injection wells. The recirculation zone (RZ) of an extraction-injection well pair in a confined aquifer has been well known. However, PAT systems are more frequently used in unconfined aquifers with a natural regional flow and may not only include one injection well. We develop comparable analytical models for an unconfined aquifer treated by two different system settings, including an extraction well and one injection well (1e/1i system) or two injection wells (1e/2i system). The role of regional groundwater flow is highlighted. Analytical solutions of RZs and recirculation ratios are obtained using complex potential functions, with a new treatment of the jump of the stream function at a branch cut. Results indicate that the shape of RZs and the recirculation ratio nonlinearly depend on several dimensionless parameters linked to the pumping rate and direction of regional flow. Compared to the 1e/1i system, the two injection wells in the 1e/2i system may reduce the integrity of RZs and decrease the recirculation ratio; however, they lead to a higher allowable pumping rate in satisfying the limitations of the water table in wells. This study suggests a useful methodology for analyzing PAT systems with multiple injection wells and provides new insights into RZs between extraction and injection wells.
Understanding primary care perspectives on supporting women’s health needs: a qualitative study
Authors: Toye Francine , MacLellan Jennifer , Dixon Sharon , McNiven Abigail
Published: August 2023

Background

A consultation for the Women’s Health Strategy for England in 2022 highlighted a need to understand and develop how general practice can support women’s health needs.

Aim

To understand the perspectives and experiences of primary care practitioners (PCPs) about supporting women’s healthcare needs.

Design and setting

Interpretive qualitative research set in general practice in England.

Method

PCPs working in general practice settings were recruited through research and professional networks. Semi-structured interviews were conducted via telephone or Microsoft Teams, audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed through reflexive thematic analysis.

Results

In total, 46 PCPs were interviewed. Participants had a range of roles and worked in a variety of primary care settings. Results are presented within six themes: 1) being alongside a person from cradle to grave; 2) maintaining the balance between general and specialist skills; 3) generalists and specialists combined make more than the sum of their parts; 4) striving for equity in a collapsing system; 5) firefighting with limited resources; and 6) the GP is being cast as the villain.

Conclusion

The findings show that relationships and advocacy are valued as fundamental for women’s health in general practice, and highlight the adverse impact of threats to these on staff and services. Developing specialist roles and bespoke services can foster staff wellbeing and could support retention. However, care is needed to ensure that service configuration changes do not result in clinician deskilling or rendering services inaccessible. Care is needed when services evolve to ensure that core aspects of general practice are not diminished or devalued. GP teams are well placed to advocate for their patients, including commitment to seeking equitable care, and these skills and specialist knowledge should be actively recognised, valued, and nurtured.

COLD CITY IN THE ARCTIC: PERCEPTION MODEL OF THE ARCHITECTURAL SPACE
Authors: Prokopova S. , Holodova L.
Published: August 2023

The lack of large-scale scientific research on human needs in an extreme climate in the Russian theory of architecture does not allow to create an environment that adequately meets the requirements of urban life in the North. The purpose of this article is to conceptualize the structure of urban space in the Arctic. The model includes the material architectural environment, aspects of its sensory perception by man and conceptual representations of the region and the city. The hypothesis of the study: the Arctic city feels "cold" not only because of the objectively extreme climate, but also because of the social and individual perception, as well as - because of the image of the architectural environment. This means that comprehensive work with the material dimension and aspects of its emotional/sensory perception is necessary to correct the "cold" image. The formation of the empirical potential of the environment, through which it is supposed to change the perception of the region towards sustainable development, becomes the main task of architectural design

Authors: ÇİMEN Harun
Published: August 2023

Aedes spp. females feed from various hosts including humans and can vector arboviruses of public health importance like dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses. These infections affect millions of people so insect populations need to be monitored and effectively controlled. Cinnamaldehyde and eugenol are naturally occurring compounds found in essential oils of various spices like cinnamon, cloves, cassia and have different biological activities. I investigated the larvicidal and oviposition deterrence effects of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol against Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus. Both chemicals effectively killed mosquito larvae and deterred female oviposition for both mosquito species at 50-200 μg/mL concentration. Larvicidal and oviposition-deterrent compounds like cinnamaldehyde and eugenol are useful in biological control of mosquitoes. They offer the potential to reduce population numbers by killing immature stages and repelling mosquitoes away from human settlements.

This paper aims to seek and expose the assertive understanding on the charge of the Tax on Transactions Related to the Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS), specifically in interstate transfer operations of goods to the same taxpayer, in which the existing conflict between state tax authorities and the majority case law of the STJ and STF is analyzed. Furthermore, Law 87/96, in its article 12, the main point of discussion on the incidence or not of ICMS in the aforementioned activity, is analyzed. In conclusion, the STJ jurisprudential understanding, in precedent 166, by understanding that there is no relation capable of creating a taxable event that justifies the ICMS on interstate transfer transactions of the same taxpayer, is constitutional, and is also supported by the STF, which has recently decided for the unconstitutionality of article 11, paragraph 3, II, and article 12, I, in the passage "even if to another establishment of the same holder", and 13, paragraph 4, of Federal Complementary Law 87, of 1996. In the realization of this article, the objectives were sought to be met, so that bibliographies, doctrines and books related to the theme were analyzed.

Determinants of Individual Worries on Food Insecurity in Afghanistan
Authors: KARAPINAR KOCAĞ Esra
Published: August 2023

According to the United Nations (UN), more than 30 per cent of the world’s population experienced food insecurity moderately or severely in 2020 and Sustainable Development Goal 2 clearly claims to end hunger by 2030. Afghanistan within those regions with severe food insecurity has become prominent as both environmental deterioration due to climate change and ongoing conflict affects this situation twice as much. Using Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES-2018) data that was provided by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), this paper provides evidence on the determinants of individual worry on having enough food with a sample of 998 individuals through a probit model. Findings reveal that having a college degree significantly reduces the probability of being worried not to have enough food. Further, living in a rural area increases this probability, while being in a richer income quintile and having one more adults in the household decreases it. Empirical evidence of this research suggests a few policy implications. Education should be generalised in the society; and production techniques in the rural areas should be improved to increase the level of production and to save the environment. These efforts might increase the wage level that would help to increase household income to alleviate food insecurity.

Procesamiento analógico y digital de señales de electromiograma para arreglos de electrodos
Authors:   , Catacora Valentín Andrés
Published: August 2023

Las líneas de investigación actuales que estudian la adquisición de señales de electromiograma (EMG) se orientan hacia técnicas no invasivas de medición. La búsqueda de optimizar el confort de la persona conduce a adquirir el EMG mediante dispositivos vestibles. Esta tendencia genera desafíos en el diseño de la instrumentación analógica necesaria para capturar estas señales con electrodos superficiales y en su posterior procesamiento digital para mejorar la selectividad espacial. Los electrodos superficiales tienen una pobre especificidad espacial per se que puede mejorarse construyendo sensores que combinen señales de varios electrodos conformando arreglos. Los arreglos de electrodos más simples admiten una implementación analógica, y los más complejos demandan técnicas de procesamiento digital de señales. El objetivo de esta tesis es desarrollar técnicas avanzadas de instrumentación y procesamiento de señales para arreglos de electrodos, que permitan implementar sensores de EMG vestibles y con mayor especificidad espacial. En primer lugar, se estudia la adquisición de EMG superficial y el rechazo activo a interferencias electromagnéticas (EMI), extendido a sistemas multi-canales vestibles. A partir de este análisis, se encuentran las condiciones que debe cumplir un sistema de adquisición para medir EMG con mínima EMI, que son el diseño de tamaño físico reducido, la alimentación a baterías y la transmisión inalámbrica de datos. Estas condiciones hacen factibles el desarrollo de amplificadores portátiles y vestibles con diseños simples, que no requieren rechazo activo de EMI, y utilizan un número reducido de electrodos y componentes. Una propuesta original desarrollada en esta tesis es un sensor de EMG basado en un amplificador single-ended que mide la señal diferencial con solo dos electrodos. Este sensor, completamente enfocado a dispositivos vestibles y pequeños, da lugar a una nueva propuesta que mejora su selectividad espacial de manera analógica. Se presenta una nueva topología para medir señales doble-diferenciales de EMG que utiliza solo tres electrodos, un número reducido de componentes, y no requiere rechazo activo de EMI. Si bien es posible extender los conceptos a arreglos más grandes de electrodos, deja de ser pragmático desde el procesamiento analógico de señales. Por lo tanto, en el último tramo de la tesis se presenta el desarrollo de un modelo computacional de simulación de EMG superficial que sirve como herramienta fundamental para el estudio y diseño de algoritmos que aumenten la selectividad espacial de arreglos de electrodos utilizando procesamiento digital de señales.

Authors: García-Serna Erick
Published: August 2023

This article examines the song "Bandera Blanca" by the group "Camila" from a hermeneutic and discursive perspective. The importance of music in various fields is highlighted, such as recreational, creative, emotional, cultural and psychological, since over the years it has been used and interpreted in multiple ways. The combination of rhythms and lyrics is used to convey messages and emotions. Therefore, considering this relevance, the symbolism of the song and the relationship it establishes between a courtship and a chaotic situation that leads to surrender are analyzed from a perspective generated by discursive analysis through hermeneutics, where each away from the song, interpreting and analyzing from its literal, symbolic and emotional phases, as well as the enunciative, locutive, perlocutive and hyperlocutive phases. The analysis concludes that the letter shows the narrator's struggle to find stability and love in the midst of adversity, but finally reaches a point of surrender and acceptance of personal limitations; while at a theoretical level the importance of music is identified personally, in development, economics and different dimensions.

Introduction: One of the promising ways to improve the quality of life and life expectancy of the population is harmonization of the drinking regimen aimed at reducing the risk of the negative impact of increased levels of drinking water components and correcting the deficiency of a number of essential microelements.
Objective: To conduct a questionnaire-based survey of young people living in the Altai Region and adjacent territories to determine the proportion of males and females who consume bottled water, taking into account added essential trace elements, duration of regular use, and the approximate volume of general water consumption.
Materials and methods: The study involved 2,068 people, including 1,534 women and 534 men with the mean age of 20.7 ± 2.3 years and 20.6 ± 2.1 years, respectively. The survey was conducted during the second half of 2022 and the results were analyzed in January 2023.
Results: The statistical frequency analysis showed that the structure of bottled water consumption in the young men did not differ from that in the whole sample and the women. The majority of young people (82.0 to 83.5 %) of both sexes actively used bottled water for drinking purposes, and 8.5 to 12.2 % of them consciously chose bottled water with added essential trace elements. The median time of constant bottled water consumption among all the respondents was 5 years with the first and third quartiles of 1 and 10 years, respectively. A statistical relationship was established between sex and the volume of water consumption: the young women were prone to consume less while a large proportion of young men was found to consume more water than required for optimal hydration.
Conclusions: Ensuring proper drinking regimen is an important task for health maintenance of young people, which should be addressed through creation of specialized health schools on the basis of regional centers for prevention of non-communicable diseases and/or disease prevention departments (offices) of medical institutions.

Introduction: Adverse human health effects of motor vehicle noise, which levels are the highest in urban areas, are considered in many foreign and domestic studies.
Objective: To establish the zone of acoustic discomfort related to motor vehicle noise on the territory of new residential complexes in the city of Voronezh.
Materials and methods: Using the “Assistant” sound level meter (accuracy class 1), we conducted 72 noise measurements at 36 monitoring points within the 20.5 hectare area of two residential complexes at distances of 7.5, 50, 100, 200, 300, 350, and 430 meters from the four-lane highway, the main local source of traffic noise. The measurements were taken in May 2023 on working days (Monday to Friday) in the daytime and at night.
Results: We have established that modern urban planning technologies and solutions used in the construction of new residential complexes are unable to eliminate the zone of acoustic discomfort. According to the results of field measurements, the equivalent noise level along the highway in the daytime exceeds permissible levels by 17.8–19.7 dBA
and at night – by 22.6–25.7 dBA. The noise limit is also exceeded in the inner yard (on the playground, in the recreation area). The significant area of the study object is almost completely affected by traffic noise at the distances of up to 100 m and 200 m in the daytime and at night, respectively, which creates an unfavorable acoustic environment that has a negative impact on the local residents.
Conclusions: To reduce the area of the acoustic discomfort zone, it is recommended to take measures to reduce traffic intensity in the study area by developing the road network and public transport system, prohibiting motorcycle and freight traffic on this street, especially at nighttime, improving landscaping of the adjoining territory, and installing transparent noise barriers that will prevent noise transfer between houses to the inner territory of the residential complex and the lower floors of the buildings.

Introduction: Optimization of epidemiological and microbiological monitoring of nosocomial infections at the regional level will contribute to limiting circulation and spread of pathogens and improving preventive measures on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Objective: To determine directions of optimization of epidemiological and microbiological monitoring of healthcare-associated infections in surgery departments and intensive care units of hospitals of the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania. Materials and methods: We carried out a retrospective epidemiological analysis of the incidence of nosocomial infections and results of microbiological monitoring conducted in surgery departments and intensive care units of ten multidisciplinary hospitals of the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania in 2015–2019. We also examined data on evaluation of preventive measures, infection control, and compliance with criteria of internal quality control and safety in health care.
Results: According to the results of routine surveillance and specially organized epidemiological and microbiological monitoring, the incidence rates of healthcare-associated infections were 0.85 and 26.4 per 1,000 inpatients in surgery departments and intensive care units of hospitals of the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania, respectively. The incidence rates of certain types of nosocomial infections were statistically different (p ≤ 0.05) depending on the type of monitoring (routine/optimized): surgical site infections – 15.9/132.8 per 1,000 surgeries, catheter-associated urinary tract infections – 8.5/69.4 per 1,000 catheter days, central line-associated bloodstream infections – 7.74/89.12 per 1,000 catheter days, and ventilator-associated pneumonia – 8.12/39.74 per 1,000 ventilator days. K. pneumoniae strains isolated from surgery and intensive care patients and exhibiting extreme resistance to antimicrobial drugs belong to sequence type 1082, possess a high pandemic potential, and are widespread in many countries. According to the results of assessing compliance with the criteria of internal quality control and safety of health care, only three of ten hospitals in the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania had the compliance rate ≥ 70 %. As for the readiness for infection prevention and control in surgery departments and intensive care units, 60 % of the hospitals demonstrated a basic level and 40 % – an intermediate level of measures taken.
Conclusions: Optimization of approaches to tracing healthcare-associated infections in the hospitals of the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania helped establish that actual incidence rates of nosocomial infections were on the average 26.4 times higher than those officially registered based on the results of routine surveillance.
