European engraved originals in the works of Anton Losenko
Authors:   Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Pogearova Marina A.
Published: December 2022

The article examines which European engraved sources were used by Russian artists in the 18th century. An especially thorough examination, from this position, is given to the work of Anton Losenko, one of the most significant Russian painters of the 18th century. The author adds new sources of creative inspiration for Losenko to the recognized ones, such as compositions by Jean Restout,. Among them the author counts engravings from the paintings of Antoine Coypel. Not only the closeness of individual motifs of painting of the French academician and the founder of Russian historical painting is noted, but also the facts of Losenko’s biography and the evolution of the artistic development of the epoch are considered.
John Soane’s influence on the perception of classical order by architects of modernism and postmodernism
Authors:   Turgenev Library, Groznov Oleg D.
Published: December 2022

The oeuvre of John Soane, the architect of the Regency era, has influenced to some degree the architecture of the XX century. The staples of his style (first of all his attempts to exclude – entirely or partly – the elements of classical order) can be detected in buildings of the functionalist architects. Philipp Johnson resorted to Soane trying to unfetter his manner from the doctrine of the International style. Meanwhile the postmodernists found in his structures the source for references and pastiches.

Dutch-Flemish motifs of flowers and fruit in the 18th-Century Russian Painting: From Science and Emblems to the Image Aestheticization
Authors:   Faculty of Humanities National Research University “High School of Economics”, Zakharova Tatiana A.
Published: December 2022

The history of Russian fruit and flower still life began in the 18th century, when Russian state’s art culture was getting closer to that of European countries, especially with the Netherlands. This article shows the evolution of Russian fruit and flower still life of the 18th century in the context of Dutch-Flemish inheritance. The major focus is made on the objective motifs of the still life and its semantics. In the works of this genre, the continuity of Dutch traditions could be traced due to “Symbols and Emblemata”, an iconological reference book published at the initiative of Peter I.

18th century in Russian gold and silver art of the second half of the 19th – early 20th century: from rejection to recognition
Authors:   All-Russian Decorative Art Museum, Yudin Mikhail O.
Published: December 2022

This article shows the influence of the 18th-century art on the creativity of Russian jewellery companies in the second half of 19th – early 20th century. During the period of national style domination, the revision to 18th century is especially interesting. The art of this era in the perception of descendants became from complete rejection in the eyes of posterity to a total recognition of its originality, artistic individuality, and as a result national-identity. The latter entailed the use of cultural assets of 18th century as prototypes of gold and silver products created in late 19th – early 20th century because of nationality. The author analyses both works of Russian jewellery companies and documentary evidence demonstrating the attitude of contemporaries to an art culture of the 18th century.

TD 2712 - Avaliação do gasto tributário em saúde : o caso das despesas médicas do imposto de renda da pessoa física (IRPF)
Authors: Ocké-Reis Carlos Octávio
Published: December 2022

No contexto do “desfinanciamento” do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), da ótica da justiça distributiva, o gasto tributário em saúde parece indesejável no campo das políticas públicas e, portanto, deve ser avaliado e fiscalizado pelo Poder Executivo e seus órgãos de controle. Tal incentivo governamental representa um imposto não recolhido ou um gasto público não aplicado diretamente nas políticas de saúde, promovendo, entre outros, a rentabilidade do setor privado. Em contexto de restrição fiscal, considerando sua magnitude e sua iniquidade, ao beneficiar os estratos superiores de renda, cabe às autoridades governamentais refletir como esse problema poderá ser resolvido. Essa renúncia representa hoje um montante significativo de recursos não recolhidos pelo Imposto de Renda da Pessoa Física (IRPF), tributo que é, em parte, repassado aos estados e municípios por meio dos fundos de participação estadual e municipal, que têm um papel significativo no financiamento do SUS nas regiões mais pobres. Desse modo, este trabalho tem por objetivo contribuir para a realização da avaliação da dedução das despesas médico-hospitalares do IRPF, debatendo algumas ideias sobre como eliminar, reduzir ou focalizar esse subsídio. Constata-se que eventuais modificações no desenho e na magnitude da renúncia fiscal podem atender diferentes finalidades. Entretanto, além de sua trajetória crescente, o tamanho de tal subsídio é tão expressivo que, uma vez alocado para outros fins, poderia servir de base para criar programas sociais, ou impulsionar programas já existentes, ou, ainda, compensar efeitos negativos da carga tributária, diminuindo a pobreza e a desigualdade estruturais da sociedade brasileira. Trata-se, assim, de mecanismo orçamentário que, se fosse realocado, poderia contribuir para atacar certas iniquidades do sistema de saúde brasileiro.
TD 2720 - Uso de evidências em políticas educacionais – o contexto internacional e o quadro brasileiro
Authors: Codes Ana Luiza Machado de , Araújo Herton Ellery
Published: December 2022

A formulação de políticas educacionais baseadas em evidências vem predominando em muitos países atualmente. O Brasil faz parte desse quadro. Nos países que seguem há mais tempo nessa trajetória, as discussões recentes apontam para a necessidade de recalibragem, em algumas dimensões, desse modo de se fazer políticas. São trazidas à cena questões como o orçamento e a incorporação dos saberes resultantes das práticas escolares. E o Brasil, a quantas anda nesse processo? Esse é o ponto explorado neste texto. O contexto brasileiro é aqui analisado, em seus aspectos de estruturação e maturação de procedimentos e práticas, na tentativa de apreender em que “grau” o país se situa ao longo dessa jornada. Para nortear a discussão, utilizam-se três abordagens fundamentais, que explicam a utilização de evidências na formulação de políticas educacionais: i) a perspectiva técnico-funcional, focada nos resultados da aprendizagem (habilidades, conhecimentos cognitivos e capacidade analítica); ii) a sociopolítica, que trata de questões culturais e atitudinais; e iii) a institucional ou organizacional, associada à ideia de valores. O estudo aponta que o Brasil demonstra notáveis progressos, principalmente no que se refere ao arcabouço legal e institucional até então construído. Maiores avanços são ainda necessários, contudo, principalmente para transformar o saber inerente às evidências na condição de fato – a ser manifestado na cultura do país, no uso por parte dos gestores e no enriquecimento das realidades educacionais.
TD 2722 - Avaliação do programa nacional de apoio à captação de água de chuva e outras tecnologias sociais (programa cisternas), à luz dos objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável
Authors: Castro César Nunes de
Published: December 2022

Em 2012, como resultado da Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Desenvolvimento Sustentável (Rio+20) da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU), foram criados os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS); entre estes, o acesso à água potável e ao saneamento básico (desafio 6 dos ODS). No Brasil, o semiárido constitui a região onde o atingimento das metas do ODS 6 é mais desafiador. Ao longo das décadas de 1980 e 1990, uma nova proposta para lidar com a questão da escassez hídrica e das secas no semiárido começa a ganhar forma, sob a égide da ideia de convivência com o semiárido. Algumas abordagens inovadoras surgem a partir dessa perspectiva; por exemplo, a do uso de cisternas para o armazenamento da água das chuvas por parte da população rural dispersa do semiárido. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar essa iniciativa desde seu surgimento antes de ser incorporada ao rol das políticas públicas do governo federal – até os dias atuais, à luz dos seus impactos para a região beneficiada e de sua contribuição para o ODS 6. Evidências apresentadas neste estudo indicam que a contribuição do Programa Nacional de Apoio à Captação de Água de Chuva e outras Tecnologias Sociais (Programa Cisternas) para o atingimento das metas do ODS 6 é significativa. Em função das evidências registradas neste, e em muitos outros trabalhos, dos impactos positivos das cisternas para os beneficiados, em razão da essencialidade da água para a vida e do caráter humanitário de iniciativas em prover esse recurso para aqueles que não o têm, e em função das cisternas serem um dos meios menos dispendiosos, e mais efetivos, de gerar-se uma oferta mínima de água – preferencialmente não apenas para o consumo, mas também para a produção –, com o objetivo de atender aqueles extremamente necessitados no meio rural do semiárido, justifica-se a continuidade do Programa Cisternas, para quem sabe um dia mitigarem-se os efeitos mais nefastos das secas sobre a população do semiárido brasileiro: a sede e a fome.
TD 2822 - Funcionalismo público : dois regimes históricos
Authors: Melo Valdir Ramalho de
Published: December 2022

Formular ou escolher um regime adequado de funcionalismo público é um problema antigo. A primeira experiência do Estado moderno no Ocidente abrangeu dois regimes, a venda de cargos públicos e o favoritismo. A história e a análise estratégica-situacional derivam lições dessa experiência. No primeiro caso, o Estado tende a perder o controle sobre as funções de interesse público em favor dos interesses dos compradores de cargos. No segundo, o favoritismo tende a submeter a sociedade a uma pequena camada social. Esta controla a ocupação dos cargos de autoridade no Estado, as normas legais, as ações de regulamentação, bem como outras instituições que deem vantagens econômicas e outros benefícios.
TD 2825 - Impactos distributivos da educação pública no Brasil ao longo do século XXI
Authors: Silveira Fernando Gaiger , Palomo Theo Ribas , Senkevics Adriano Souza , Cardomingo Matias , Carvalho Laura
Published: December 2022

Este texto investiga os impactos do gasto público em educação sobre a desigualdade social no Brasil ao longo do século XXI. Para tal fim, foram empregadas duas fontes de dados: i) as três últimas edições da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares (POF), do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), referentes aos períodos 2002-2003, 2007-2008 e 2017-2018, incluindo a publicação inédita dos microdados de serviços não monetários em educação, disponibilizados nesta última edição; e ii) o investimento por aluno, calculado pelo Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep). Além disso, o estudo apresenta uma inovação metodológica, ao cotejar esses dados do Inep com as informações de gastos não monetários em educação estimados pelos próprios entrevistados na POF, publicados de forma inédita na última edição da pesquisa. Desse modo, foi possível reconstruir a renda familiar antes e depois das transferências via educação pública e seus impactos redistributivos sobre o índice de Gini. Os resultados indicam alta progressividade do gasto público educacional: entre 62,0% e 65,5% do gasto se destinam aos 50% mais pobres, os quais se apropriam de apenas 14,3% da renda monetária; de outro modo, os 10% mais ricos da população representam 45,2% da renda monetária, mas sua participação no gasto público está entre 5,8% e 6,7%. Ao se analisar o impacto de cada etapa de ensino sobre a desigualdade, percebe-se que o maior impacto progressivo reside sobre o ensino fundamental, ao passo que o ensino superior é o único que apresenta um impacto regressivo. No geral, o resultado do gasto com educação pública sobre a desigualdade representa uma redução do índice de Gini entre 5,3%, a partir de dados da POF, e 9,6%, considerando-se dados do Inep. Em termos comparativos, foi possível observar, nessas duas primeiras décadas do século XXI, uma elevação da progressividade desses gastos a partir do crescimento de sua parcela sobre a renda das famílias, de 7,2%, no período 2002-2003, para 8% nos períodos 2008-2009 e 2017-2018, bem como a redução de seu coeficiente de concentração, fruto, em boa medida, do avanço da universalização do acesso e da democratização de oportunidades educacionais.
“The King in the Saddle”: The Árpád Dynasty and Itinerant Kingship in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries
Authors: Hudáček Pavol
Published: December 2022

The rulers of the Árpád dynasty spent a great deal of time on the road traveling from one royal castle, palace, mansion, monastery, or bishop’s seat to another. The ruler’s travel and personal presence were an important way of exercising power during this period. However, few sources have survived from the eleventh and twelfth centuries, making it difficult for historians to do much research on the travel of the Árpád kings. The Kingdom of Hungary was a large country and it is necessary to determine what was the main power center and where the periphery territories were located. For the most part, the Árpád kings stayed in the central region, where the most important royal settlements, the oldest monasteries, and the first bishoprics were located, and they visited the peripheral parts of the country only sporadically. The king met every year with his faithful magnates, bishops, abbots, and so on, and these important events was included various ceremonies, rituals, banquets, court proceedings, conferences with political elites, and gifts or donations.
Silver and Spices in the Runtinger Trade with Prague
Authors: Scheltens Isabel
Published: December 2022

In the late medieval period, a prominent trade route led from Prague through Regensburg to Venice. Silver mined in the Bohemian hinterland was traded for luxury items from the Near East. The Regensburg merchant house of Runtinger made vast profits by buying cloth and luxuries cheaply in Venice—in particular spices from India—and selling them in exchange for comparatively large quantities of silver in Prague. This study treats their ledger, Das Runtingerbuch (1383–1407), as a case study for an analysis of the Prague economy. The Runtingers sold the same types of spices and cloth in Regensburg and in Prague during the same span of years, which makes it possible to use their records as sources with which to compare the two markets. The Runtingers are shown to have market power in the Prague spice market but no market power in the Prague cloth market or the Regensburg markets. The reasons for these market differences are theorized in reference to the socioeconomic positions of the Regensburg and Bohemian elites. Luxury items were traded for silver or silver coins, constituting a continuous drain of silver from Bohemia towards Regensburg, which led to a degree of stagnation in the local economy in Bohemia.

Citrus fruit is one of the horticultural products that has a high volume of imports, causing local oranges to be slightly defeated. Consumer preferences for local and imported citrus fruits have differences, namely by using Chi-square analysis it is known that consumer preferences for local oranges are greenish yellow with a slightly sour sweet taste, medium fruit size, fresh aroma and have a moderate price. Imported oranges, there are differences in preferences on attributes other than color attributes, because consumers have the same opinion about the orange color in imported oranges. Market segmentation, based on the results of cluster research, has almost the same characteristics and shows that consumers of local and imported oranges are consumers who are still young around 1925 years old, female and male, who are graduates from high school or diploma and still have the status as students, unmarried and with incomes ranging from IDR 500,000 to IDR 2,499,999. The number of members in each family includes the number of small and medium members who usually buy oranges at Giant and Ramayana. Purchases are made erratically as much as 1-2 kg in one purchase.

STABILITY ANALYSIS FOR URBAN TRAFFIC EVOLUTION PROCESS USING TEMPORAL TRAFFIC STATE PATTERNS
Authors: Wang Longjian , Wang Yonggang , Wang Longfei
Published: December 2022

Recognizing the stability of the traffic evolution process of urban traffic networks has been an important consideration in traffic evolution research. However, little work has been conducted on identifying and associating temporal Traffic State Pattern (TSP) with the traffic evolution process. By clustering multi-dimensional traffic time series, we attempted to map the traffic evolution process into massive transitions of consecutive TSPs. Through the statistics of the time distribution of the transitions, we then defined the stability coefficient to conduct a quantitative analysis of the traffic evolution process. An empirical study using 30 days of traffic flow rate data of multiple road sections from the network of Nanshan District (Shenzhen, China) was carried out. Numerical results indicated that the traffic evolution process experienced obvious nonlinear changes at different periods of the day, but presented a regular cycle characteristic from morning till night. Further, with consideration of different travel purposes and traffic features on weekday and weekend, more traffic dynamics was extracted, which would be conducive to understand the complex behaviour of traffic evolution process.
Hidden Hearts of Neutrino Active Galaxies
Authors: Murase Kohta
Published: December 2022

Recent multimessenger studies have provided evidence for high-energy neutrino sources that are opaque to GeV–TeV gamma rays. We present model-independent studies on the connection between neutrinos and gamma rays in the active galaxy NGC 1068, and find that the neutrinos most likely come from regions within ∼30–100 Schwarzschild radii. This is especially the case if neutrinos are produced via the photomeson production process, although the constraints could be alleviated if hadronuclear interactions are dominant. We consider the most favorable neutrino production regions, and discuss coronae, jets, winds, and their interactions with dense material. The results strengthen the importance of understanding dissipation mechanisms near the coronal region and the outflow base. There could be a connection between active galactic nuclei with near-Eddington accretion and tidal disruptions events, in that neutrinos are produced in the obscured vicinity of supermassive black holes.

The dataset represents a comprehensive collection of occurrence records regarding the genus Aconitum (Ranunculaceae) in the Ukrainian Carpathians and adjacent territories. It is mostly based on results of critical revision of the main herbarium collections of the Carpathian region (i.e., LW, LWS, LWKS, KRA, KRAM, CHER, KW, UU, and KWHU). Besides this, the dataset contains the data parsed (and taxonomically revised) from the published materials and other available sources (e.g., Karel Domin's Card Index).

In total, 2,280 occurrence records of the genus Aconitum representatives distributed in the Ukrainian Carpathians were published.
Nomenclature and typification of Cathaya argyrophylla (Pinaceae)
Authors: Tan Chao , Boufford David E. , Yang Yong
Published: December 2022

In 1958, Chun and Kuang described Cathaya Chun & Kuang as a new genus of Pinaceae. They included one fossil species, C. loehri (Engelh. & Kink.) Chun & Kuang and two extant species, C. argyrophylla Chun & Kuang and C. nanchuanensis Chun & Kuang. Under Art. 40.1 of the Shenzhen Code, they did not validly publish Cathaya because they did not designate a type species for the generic name. Four years later (Chun and Kuang 1962), they again published on Cathaya (in Chinese) where they cited the 1958 publication and included one species C. argyrophylla (with C. nanchuanensis in synonymy) under Cathaya. According to Art. 40.3, they validated both the generic name Cathaya and C. argyrophylla in 1962. Further examination of the type collection and botanical history of the discovery of C. argyrophylla revealed that the type collection Guang-Fu-Lin-Qu Exped. 00198 consists of 11 duplicates in the

South China Institute of Botany (IBSC)

and 9 duplicates in other herbaria (GAC, IBK, PE, SZ) and that the intended type specimen (IBSC0000004) consists of two gatherings: the bark, reproductive shoot and seed cones collected in 1955, whereas pollen-bearing cones were collected in 1956. We thus lectotypify the name C. argyrophylla with the specimen Guang-Fu-Lin-Qu Exped. 00198 (IBSC0000004 excl. pollen-bearing cones).
Two new species and two new records of Homidia (Collembola, Entomobryidae) from China
Authors: Jing Mei-dong , Ma Yi-tong
Published: December 2022

Homidia, one of the largest genera of the family Entomobryidae, is widely distributed in China. To date, 46 species of this genus are present in China and account for approximately 60 % of all known species of the genus. In the present paper, two new species of Homidia are described from China: H. acutussp. nov. and H. changensissp. nov. The former is discriminated by the brown to blue-violet pigment present on whole dorsal body and by pointed tenent hairs. The latter is characterised by having only scattered traces of brown pigment on tergites, and by the special macrochaetal formula of coxae. Additionally, two known species of the genus, H. linhaiensis Shi, Pan & Qi, 2009 and H. socia Denis, 1929, are reported from Jiangxi Province for the first time, and some of their taxonomic characters are described. A key to the Chinese species of the genus is provided.
Predicting Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis With the Fibromyalgia Survey Questionnaire: Does the Severity of Fibromyalgia Symptoms Matter?

Objective

To determine if the degree of baseline fibromyalgia (FM) symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as indicated by the Fibromyalgia Survey Questionnaire (FSQ) score, predicts RA disease activity after initiation or change of a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD).

Methods

One hundred ninety-two participants with active RA were followed for 12 weeks after initiation or change of DMARD therapy. Participants completed the FSQ at the initial visit. The Disease Activity Score in 28 joints using C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) was measured at baseline and follow-up to assess RA disease activity. We evaluated the association between baseline FSQ score and follow-up DAS28-CRP. As a secondary analysis, we examined the relationship between the 2 components of the FSQ, the Widespread Pain Index (WPI) and Symptom Severity Scale (SSS), with follow-up DAS28-CRP. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed, adjusting for clinical and demographic variables.

Results

In multiple linear regression models, FSQ score was independently associated with elevated DAS28-CRP scores 12 weeks after DMARD initiation (B = 0.04,P= 0.01). In secondary analyses, the WPI was significantly associated with increased follow-up DAS28-CRP scores (B = 0.08,P= 0.001), whereas the SSS was not (B = −0.03,P= 0.43).

Conclusion

Higher levels of FM symptoms weakly predicted worse disease activity after treatment. The primary factor that informed the FSQ’s prediction of disease activity was the spatial extent of pain, as measured by the WPI.

Le « capitalisme urbain » est-il compatible avec les enjeux de soutenabilité ?
Authors: Ghorra-Gobin Cynthia
Published: December 2022

Depuis la « question urbaine » (Castells, 1972), la « production de l’espace » (Lefevbre, 1974) et le « droit à la ville » (Lefevbre, 1968), la ville est reconnue comme objet fondamental dans la recherche en sciences sociales. Sa progressive centralité explique l’essor des « études urbaines » dont l’intérêt relève de ce souci de l’interdisciplinarité, une approche ne dissociant pas les enjeux sociaux et environnementaux associés à l’avènement du « capitalisme urbain ». Cinq récents ouvrages de chercheurs francophones s’appuyant sur un corpus francophone et anglophone abordent en filigrane la question de sa compatibilité avec les soutenabilités relevant du social, des circuits alimentaires et de l’environnemental. L’analyse insiste sur le rôle des pouvoirs publics, des résistances habitantes et des intellectuels pour éclairer de nouvelles perspectives de l’action publique. Elle interroge la pertinence de l’échelle territoriale pour une mobilisation sociale.

Souvent peu défini et mal compris, le leadership charismatique est un concept qui nécessite aujourd’hui d’être révisé. C’est l’ambition de cette recherche, qui utilise les apports de la perspective évolutionniste pour réhabiliter le leadership charismatique comme objet d’étude pertinent dans les organisations. Dans ce travail, nous suggérons d’étudier le charisme comme un signal et le leadership charismatique comme un processus de signalement visant à unifier un groupe autour d’un objectif commun. Dans un objectif intégratif, cette recherche s’inspire des premiers développements de l’approche évolutionniste pour proposer une réflexion approfondie sur l’identification des signaux du charisme, leurs effets sur le groupe et les informations qui sont communiquées. L’objectif est de proposer une compréhension précise et complète de ce qu’est le leadership charismatique et comment il peut être utilisé dans les organisations. Les apports de cette recherche sont donc d’abord théoriques : prolonger les premiers développements de l’approche évolutionniste appliquée au leadership charismatique et répondre aux principales critiques sur le concept. L’originalité de ce travail est également d’avoir réhabilité le rôle du corps comme outils de transmission d’information dans le processus de leadership. Mais les apports sont également managériaux : en convertissant les signaux charismatiques en techniques de communication verbale et non-verbale, nous montrons que ceux-ci peuvent être utilisés comme une ressource stratégique dans le cadre du leadership organisationnel.

Published: December 2022

In this paper, we introduce a new technique, called the direct power series method to solve several types of time-fractional partial differential equations and systems, in terms of the Caputo derivative. We illustrate the method with a simple algorithm that can be used to solve different types of time-fractional partial problems. We introduce a new theorem to explain the required substitutions of the proposed method. In addition, convergence analysis conditions of the method are given. Furthermore, some different illustrative examples of time-fractional partial differential equations and systems are discussed to show the applicability and simplicity of the new approach.

Between the Movie and the Money: Packaging the 1970s Motion Tax Shelter
Authors: Palmer Landon
Published: December 2022

Histories of 1970s American cinema have often positioned tax shelter financing as the economic base that allowed for a flourishing of the “New Hollywood,” a cinematic period characterized by auteurist breaks with the narrative and stylistic conventions that previously standardized Hollywood filmmaking. This article investigates how such tax shelters operated in practice and made the motion picture industry part of a growing tax shelter industry. Specifically, I detail the work of the tax shelter “packager,” an industry figure who emerged as a liaison between motion picture organizations and sources of financing. In so doing, I argue that, while tax shelter financing did not give outside investors or firms meaningful control over the content of 1970s films, this practice placed motion picture investment within the growing financialization of the American economy and attendant strategies of high-income tax avoidance.

Published: December 2022

At present, there is a high demand for concretes with varying properties. Generally, concrete with high durability can be produced by considering the constituents of the concrete, such as cement, sand, aggregates, and water. The quality of concrete is also dependent on the mix design and production method, such as transporting and pouring of concrete. In recent years, the developed countries have been focusing on the issue of sustainability in construction to create a healthier environment and reduce the environmental impact of a building throughout its lifetime while optimizing its economic viability and ensuring the comfort and safety of the occupants. One way to achieve sustainability is using agricultural waste material such as palm oil fuel ash, rice husk, fly ash slag, sludge, and coconut shell in concrete production. This study performs a series of tests to investigate the effect of using alum sludge (AS) and palm kernel ash (PKA) with coconut shells as a partial replacement of aggregates. The concrete samples were subjected to compressive strength, flexural strength, rebound hammer, ultrasonic pulse velocity, water permeability, water absorption, carbonation, alkali-silica reaction, SEM, and shrinkage tests.

Published: December 2022

Vegetable oils and animal fats and have been extensively used for biolubricant purposes for countless years. Through the discovery of petroleum and the availability of inexpensive oils, the vegetable oils or their derivatives are decent alternatives to replace the existence of petroleum oils as lubricants or lubricant additives in numerous industrial applications. In addition, vegetable oils have a very high viscosity index and it does not distress by the high temperature. Apart from that, the high flash point and low volatility are also known as the vegetable oil’s forte, making it always be prominent compared to the other oils. However, vegetable oils also have been reported to have a low thermal and oxidative stability, which attain less auspicious to be used as a lubricant. In this study, the Jatropha Curcas oil had been used as a raw material in the production of the biolubricant process with the enhancement of the lubricant properties by the aid of 2,3-butanediol. Initially, the Jatropha Curcas was hydrolyzed to obtain the fatty acid before being further esterified with 2,3 butanediol (acted as capping material) to form ester 2,3-butanediol. The hydrolyzed and esterified products have been analyzed by using the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectra (GC-MS) and the Fourier Transforms Infra-Red (FTIR). The GCMS results showed the composition of fatty acids and ester formed remain 95-99% in the product. The absorption wavelength was detected around 1715.93 cm-1, further confirming the formation of ester 2,3-butanediol. Overall, the pour point of the product was obtained as low as 5 °C with a flash point at 210 °C and the viscosity of ester 2,3-butanediol was 60.9 cp. (0.78 in).

Published: December 2022

The developed solid catalyst from calcium carbide dust (CCD) with potassium nitrate is investigated for transesterification of sunflower oil to biodiesel or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). The objective of this study is to develop the solid catalyst from CCD and test it at various operating parameters such as wt. % of KNO3/CCD, molar ratio of methanol to oil, reaction time and reusability of the modified solid catalyst with a fixed reaction temperature of 60 °C and 3 wt. % of catalyst loading. The FAME yield was up to 97 wt. % with 15 wt. % of KNO3/CCD, 15:1 methanol-to-oil molar ratio and 7 h reaction time. Unfortunately, the modified solid catalyst could not be reused after regeneration using n-hexane washing followed by recalcination at 500 °C for 3 h.

Published: December 2022

In this work, functionally graded materials were synthesized by centrifugal technique at different volume fractions (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% Vf) with different rotational speed of (0, 600, 800, 1000 and 1200) r.p.m and different rotational time (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) min. The hardness and tribological properties were characterized to study the graded and non-graded nanocomposites and the pure epoxy material. Using a pin-on-disc machine, sliding wear tests are conducted with the following parameters: rotation speed (400 rpm), normal load (30 N), filler content (0–2% Vf), and sliding distance (0.15 km). The hardness and wear parameters of graded composites were investigated and compared to those of epoxy composites with homogeneous filling. This work demonstrates that incorporating Al2O3 nanoparticles improves graded composites' hardness and sliding wear resistance. Epoxy–Al2O3 epoxy composites with a volume fraction of 2 had the lowest specific wear rate of all samples. The FGMs had superior sliding wear performance compared to homogenous composites. The maximum difference in hardness and coefficient of friction occurred at (FGM), which is loaded from the rich side of the nanoalumina at (Vf = 2%, N = 1200 r.p.m and T = 6 min), where the maximum value was 168% and 78 % as compared with neat epoxy, respectively. The wear rate of the functionally graded samples was enhanced by (87.7%) compared with neat epoxy if loaded from the alumina-rich side.
Business Incubators – A Cure or Curse – A Study focused on the Perception of Young Entrepreneurs in Oman
Authors: Rohanaraj T. T. A.

Business incubators support the young entrepreneurs to improve their business idea and make their ventures successful.  Though this is true, a good number of young entrepreneurs do not focus on joining these incubators due to their differences in perception towards business incubators. This study attempts to throw light on the perceptions of young and prospective Omani entrepreneurs towards business incubators, by focusing on 250 young individuals, following tertiary education in the higher education institutions (HEIs) in Oman.  The information collected were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis and Multiple Linear Regression techniques. The results showed that individuals’ perception towards the support mechanism available at the incubators along with professional guidance and network support could play a positive role in encouraging them to join the incubation program, while assumed negativity related to the possibility of losing their cherished vision and possible increase in startup costs, could play a negative role on the likelihood of joining business incubators. These findings will help the incubators, Universities and policy makers to redefine their business practices to improve the effectiveness of their services.

Despite numerous cases of trichobezoars reported in the literature, few Rapunzel syndromes have been described. Rapunzel syndrome is a rare case of bowel obstruction resulting from hair ingestion (trichobezoar). The obstruction can occur in any level of the intestinal tract. This syndrome is usually reported in patients affected by trichotillomania and trichophagia. We reported a case of Rapunzel syndrome in a 5-year-old girl diagnosed on an abdominal computed tomography scan and confirmed during surgery.
