Authors: Corrêa Carina Suzana Pereira , Mocelin Guilherme , Reuter Cézane Priscila , Krug Suzane Beatriz Frantz
Published: October 2022

This work is an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative study, developed in six rural municipalities of the 13th Regional Health Coordination (CRS) of Rio Grande do Sul (RS). Study conducted with 19 subjects. The objective was to investigate the use of integrative and complementary health practices (PICS) in the Unified Health System (SUS) as a contributory factor for changing the reality of medication use by users living in the rural area of municipalities in the 13th CRS / LOL. The rural population has important difficulties in accessing health services, with that, integrative therapies are very common and disseminated in rural areas. PICS have the ability to generate positive responses to drug treatments in the psychological or physiological realm, and can be used to reduce the use of medications or as an adjunct to treatments and disease prevention. The vast majority of therapies contribute to improving the quality of life of users, and may reduce the use of medicines, especially those for continuous use, however, they are not substitutes.
A Review of Renewable Energy Systems for Industrial Applications
Authors: Nirmal Swati , Rizvi Tanu
Published: October 2022

Abstract: Integrated renewable energy systems have numerous advantages and benefits compared to conventional energy systems, such as decentralized energy production, environmental impact reduction, and better energy security. Renewable energy systems can be classified under various categories: solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, geothermal, and ocean. The integration of these renewable energy resources can bring sustainable solutions and multiple products. The case studies signify the potential integration options of renewable energy systems including energy storage. Non-conventional renewable energy sources and systems (RESS) including but not limited to biomass, biogas, geothermal etc are increasingly playing an important role for electric power distribution and storage. The idea is to develop a resilient energy infrastructure minimizing the cost of remote power and support green and sustainable development efforts. Smart Grids use digital technologies and IOT solutions to intelligently react and adapt to changes in the Grid. Siemens Accelerator for Grids portfolio is the key to exploit the data in the grid. This allows operators to make grid operation more flexible, cost-efficient, more reliable, maintainable, safer and therefore, feasible.

Crosstalk and trade-offs: Plant responses to climate change-associated abiotic and biotic stresses
Authors: Leisner Courtney , Potnis Neha , Sanz-Saez Alvaro
Published: October 2022

As sessile organisms, plants are constantly challenged by a dynamic
growing environment. This includes fluctuations in temperature, water
availability, light levels, and atmospheric conditions. In concert with
changes in abiotic conditions, plants experience changes in biotic
stress pressures, including plant pathogens, viruses, and herbivores.
Human-induced increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO
) levels have led to alterations in plant growth
environments that challenge their productivity and nutritional quality.
Additionally, it is predicted that climate change will alter the
prevalence and virulence of plant pathogens, further challenging plant
productivity. A knowledge gap exists in the complex interplay between
plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Closing this
gap is crucial for developing climate resilient crops in the future.
Here, we review the physiological responses of plants to elevated CO
, temperature, tropospheric ozone (O
), and drought conditions, as well as the interaction
of these abiotic stress factors with plant pathogen pressure.
Additionally, we describe the crosstalk and trade-offs involved in plant
responses to both abiotic and biotic stress, and outline targets for
future work to develop a more sustainable future food supply in light of
future climate change.

Authors: Hsia Judith , Guthrie Nicole L. , Lupinacci Paul , Gubbi Ananda , Denham Douglas , Berman Mark A. , Bonaca Marc P.
Published: October 2022

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a digital therapeutic application (app) delivering cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) designed to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Adults with type 2 diabetes and an HbA1c of 7 to <11% were randomly assigned to receive access to a digital therapeutic app delivering CBT (BT-001) or a control app, both on top of standard of care management. CBT is an established form of psychological treatment that endeavors to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. The primary study end point was treatment group difference in mean HbA1c change from baseline to 90 days.

RESULTS

Among 669 randomly assigned subjects who completed app onboarding, the mean age was 58 years, BMI 35 kg/m2, 54% were female, 28% Black, and 16% Latino. Baseline HbA1c was 8.2 and 8.1% in the BT-001 and control groups, respectively. After 90 days of app access, change in HbA1c was −0.28% (95% CI −0.41, −0.15) in the BT-001 group and +0.11% (95% CI −0.02, 0.23) in the control group (treatment group difference 0.39%; P < 0.0001). HbA1c reduction paralleled exposure to the therapeutic intervention, assessed as the number of modules completed on the app (P for trend <0.0001). No adverse events in either group were attributed to app use and no adverse device effects reported.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients randomly assigned to the BT-001 arm relative to the control arm had significantly lower HbA1c at 90 days. The digital therapeutic may provide a scalable treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes.
A narrative inquiry into fishermen’s experience-based knowledge
Authors: Ervik Hilde , Østern Tone Pernille , Strømme Alex
Published: October 2022

The context of this article is a science teacher educator’s interest in experience-based learning. This led her to an exploration of the experience-based knowledge of five elderly professional fishermen in the small fishing community of Mausund in Norway. The research question guiding the article is: How can professional fishermen’s experience-based knowledge be explored through narrative inquiry? As a conclusion, embodied culture or a lived community of practice with a clear social dimension is highlighted as a way of becoming a fisherman that the use of narrative inquiry methodology helps to become articulated and thereby visible as knowledge. This embodied culture and lived community of practice with a clear social dimension has not only shaped the fishermen’s knowledge about fishing, but also their attitude to narration, to storytelling. They are brought up in a culture in which talking and telling is neither expected nor encouraged, which influences the interviews. The fishermen are not unwilling to tell, but they are not used to thinking about their own knowledge as fishermen, as knowledge. Little by little, through the interviews, their experience-based knowledge is narrated and articulated. In other words, the narrative inquiry methodology opens for embodied culture being articulated, visible as knowledge, and thereby possible to discuss as valuable within science education.
The body – friend or foe in dance? A critical reflection on the body through the Norwegian national curriculum renewal of the upper secondary school subject Dance Techniques
Authors: Østern Tone Pernille , Sundberg Rikke Axelsen , Martin Rose
Published: October 2022

This article analyses different discursive positionings related to the body that emerged during the process of renewing the curriculum for the subject Dance Techniques, an in-depth study module in year one of the Programme Area for Dance in upper secondary education in Norway. The hearing process of renewing Dance Techniques uncovered deep tensions in how the body is understood and what position it is given within Norwegian dance education. The aim of this article is to locate different discursive positionings related to the concept of body to better understand these tensions. Through a critical discourse analysis, three rounds of consultation drafts and hearing comments are analysed. Theoretical perspectives connected to the bodily turn and the desired body in dance emerge inductively from the analysis. From the analysis it appears that there is a desire to disembody, disengage and desensitize the dancing body in the curriculum renewal process.
A dialogical encounter with teaching practice-based subjects in higher education
Authors: Rustad Hilde , Engelsrud Gunn Helene
Published: October 2022

The intention of this article is from a phenomenological perspective to “unpack” the role of emotions when teaching practice-based subjects in higher education. When teaching practice-based subjects, educators’ embodied expressions and personal understanding affect both teachers’ and students’ knowledge production. The academic and the political worlds have a vested interest in understanding and improving methods of teaching and learning in higher education, and concepts such as accountability and performativity are used to indicate quality in education, whereas the affective and embodied knowledge tend to be unterminated. In this article, the authors investigate the teacher’s body as a knowledge producing and productive resource in teaching practice-based subjects. Analysis of the dialogue between two teachers shows how expressing the intersubjective and subjective dialogues in- and between them illuminates qualities such as daring to be a bodily perceptive and emotional being, listening within and the experience of teaching and learning simultaneously, trusting bodily sensations, and letting the students be who they are. By applying theoretical concepts to teachers’ descriptions of classroom experiences, this article contributes perspectives and sheds light upon human knowledge in professional relations.
Analysing students’ experience of bodily learning – an autoethnographic study of the challenges and opportunities in researching bodily learning in own teaching practice1
Authors: Ørbæk Trine
Published: October 2022

This article explores the challenges and opportunities in trying to capture students’ experience of bodily learning based on own teaching practice in teacher education. Applying a sensory autoethnographic approach, I study my bodily and emotional experience during the analytical process investigating my students’ experience of bodily learning as part of their education in becoming teachers of physical education. I ask the following research questions: What was my bodily and emotional perception of analysing the students’ experience of bodily learning? How can these bodily and emotional experiences illuminate the challenges and opportunities in researching students’ experience of bodily learning in own teaching practice? In analysing the reflection notes through the concepts of embodied affectivity, embodied interaffectivity and body memory, this study shows that analysing students’ experience of bodily learning from own teaching practice illuminates various dilemmas. First, my body memories of being in the same situation the students referred to, reactivated my memories of being the teacher educator in the same situation. Second, conducting a thematic analysis excluded dimensions of the students’ experience of bodily learning. Third, a shared emotional approach enabled me to capture the students’ experience of bodily learning in my own teaching practice.

Authors: K Kochar Kaur
Published: October 2022

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an expanding field to optimize results in medicine with special emphasis in radiology with optimization of images. Similarly in reproductive medicine it has taken over in the last few years. Ideally embryo assessment as well as selection decides the ultimate fate of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) event. The objective is to pick the best out of the large cohort of the oocytes that managed to get fertilized. Maximum of which would work out to be nonviable secondary to aberrant generation or chromosomal aberrations. It has usually been recognized that despite embryo selection depending on the compounded results of morphology, morph kinetics characteristics, time lapse microscopic (TLM) photography, or embryo biopsy with Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), implantation rates in the human has not been easy to anticipate. Hence in our efforts to escalate embryo assessment as well as selection along with escalation of live birth rate (LBR) would need innovative methods. Currently AI-dependent techniques have come out having standardized, objective along with great effectiveness in embryo assessment. Thus a systematic review was carried out utilizing the search engine PubMed, Google scholar; web of science; embase; Cochrane review library from 2000 to 2020 till date. The MeSH terms utilized were AI; ART; IVF; ICSI; PGT; TLM; BL(blastocyst) morph kinetics; morphology; annotation studies; sperm parameters; ploidy evaluation by AI; utilization of images static vs video for generation of standards; embryo grading; infertility evaluation. We found a total of 316 articles out of which we selected 56 articles for this review. No meta-analysis was carried out. Further AI can be utilized for other aspects of IVF like gonadotropin stimulation individualization protocols as well as assessment of Reproductive potential. Moreover AI possesses capacity to evaluate Big Data. Moreover our main objective would be the application of AI tools for evaluation of embryological, genetic as well as clinical data to give patients specific treatment

Authors: RD Katke
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Family Planning is an essential element of the reproductive lifespan of a woman. It modifies and has an important impact on the life of a woman because it leads to increased morbidity and mortality following unwanted pregnancies, increased rates of abortions and further maternal complications. Hence awareness and a proper knowledge of the various available contraceptive choices to the women is important to modify the current scenario. Hence this study aims at studying the knowledge of Antenatal women, their attitude and practices being followed by them with respect to contraception. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was given to the 100 Antenatal women attending the Outpatient Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Grant Government Hospital, Mumbai. Results: The results of this study depicted the importance of education, residential area and effect of COVID pandemic on the further reduction in the use of contraceptive measures available. The main reasons for low acceptance of contraception included Desire of early contraception in 24%, Lack of knowledge of contraceptive methods in 23% and apprehension for side effects of the contraception in 13% of the cases. Among the 15% of the women who were unaware of the available contraceptive methods, were willing to use the barrier contraceptives and IUCD and female sterilization. Conclusion: The results highlight the importance of social awareness and education and women employment in order to increase the use of contraceptive methods available.

Authors: Y Yufen
Published: October 2022

Purpose: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of mature teratoma with pregnancy. Methods: Retrospectively analysis of 759 cases mature teratoma was done from the first half of 2000 to the second half of 2013 in Anyang Tumor Hospital. The clinicopathological characteristics of mature teratoma with pregnancy were reviewed retrospectively Results: All patients have a history of pregnancy. Patient ages range from 25 to 42. Two cases were tubal pregnancy, and the rest were intrauterine pregnancy. One case is an outpatient case. 4 cases had atypical symptom. Adnexal masses were found in 4 cases during pregnancy examination. Radiography showed adnexal cystic solid mass with or without gestational sac. Accessory excision of affected side was performed with or without complete curettage of uterine cavity. Gestational age varied from 4 to 20 weeks. Pathological results show that ovarian cystic mass contains hair and oil. All the endoderm tissues in the tumor are differentiated and mature. There were a lot of clots and some villi in the removed tissues of fallopian tube or uterine cavity. Maximum diameter of 5 cases was greater than or equal to 10 cm. Conclusions: Teratoma with pregnancy is common for young women less than 40 years. Selective surgery is recommended to patients with early pregnancy for maternal and fetal safety. After 12 weeks of gestation, laparoscopic operation was performed. Teratomas are the most prone to torsion and acute abdomen, so in principle, laparoscopic surgery should be used in pregnancy with teratomas.

Our insight has escalated over the past decade regarding the understanding of Molecular mechanisms underlying the generation of preeclampsia, with us reviewing the role of epigenetics in the development of preeclampsia along with intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR) generation. Matrix Metalloproteinases (MM’s) MMP’s represent calcium-based zinc-endopeptidases that belong to the metzincin superfamily possessing a lot of functions like a physiological part in tissue morphogenesis, cell migration along with angiogenesis as well as in pregnancy in invasion along with migration of trophoblast besides spiral artery remodeling. Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP), cytokines, growth factors have a role in physiological events like embryo implantation, trophoblast invasion as well as migration along with decidualization with studies documented that blastocysts are direct generators of MMP2. Thus here we decided to conduct a systematic review on the role of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP’s) along with their inhibitors,namely the, Tissue inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in gynaecological disorders specifically in generation of preeclampsia along with IUGR; in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS); besides in spontaneous abortion along with generation of various cancers of the whole body but main emphasis on gynaecological cancers .Hence utilizing the search engine Thus we utilized Pubmed, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Scopus, Embase, Web of Sciences, Cochrane library search engines where we utilized the MeSH terms like MMP’s in pregnancy physiological roles; pathological in preeclampsia, IUGR; miRs in these disorders; spontaneous abortion; gynaecological disorders like PCOS; gynaecological cancer along with association of certain MIR’s abnormal in IUGR that were linked to certain gliomas along with MMP’S and IUGR and further utilization of MMP inhibitors clinically, besides that since no efficacious therapy available other therapies like role of extracellular vesicles (ECV’s) that target combined miR’S that are altered and associated with MMP’s in various pathologies and effectively we can treat those disorders from 1970 till January 2021 till date. We found a total of 500 articles out of which we selected 145 articles for this review following evaluation of cross references. No meta-analysis was done. Here we provide an insight on how this knowledge on molecular mechanisms interactions of MMP’s, TIMP’s micro RNA’S might get utilized in generating therapies to prevent or treat preeclampsia, IUGR, various gynaecological malignancies developing extracellular vesicles carrying miR;s targeting specific MMP’s in particular disease or malignancy.
Cytokine Profile Changing in Pregnant Women with Chorioamnionitis
Authors: II Tosheva
Published: October 2022

During our research, we had studied the level of serum proinflammation and anti-inflammation cytokines in 25 women in the third trimester of pregnancy with premature rupture of membranes and in 29 patients with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) complicated by chorioamnionitis. The control group consisted of 28 women with physiological pregnancy in the third trimester and 27 women with onset of labor. There was a difference in the synthesis of cytokines during pregnancy in the third trimester from the level of cytokines at the onset of labor. In women with PROM and chorioamnionitis with gestational age <37 weeks, the level of cytokines was within the range of values at women in the control group with the onset of labor. Premature rupture of membranes leading to labor is associated with increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines, which may be due to infections causing chorioamnionitis. Intrauterine infections cause inflammation, affecting the amnion and amniotic fluid.

Mechanistic Kinetic Models for Catalytic Alkylation of Toluene with Methanol for Xylene Production
Authors: OA Olafadehan
Published: October 2022

Mechanistic kinetic models were developed for the catalytic alkylation of toluene with methanol over H-ZSM–5 coated silicon carbide (SiC) foam catalyst at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 623–723 K, molar methanol to toluene ratio of 2:1 and at different catalyst weight to the toluene molar flow rate in the range 0.72–5.5 kg catalyst h/kg mol toluene in a stainless-steel flow reactor fabricated to house the ceramic foam blocks coated with catalyst. The kinetic models developed for the transformation were Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) rate expressions based on a reaction mechanism, which involved the adsorption of reactants species on the active catalyst sites, surface reaction of the adsorbed species to produce products and desorption of products from the catalyst surface, assuming same kind of active sites on the catalyst. The optimization routine of Nelder-Mead simplex method was used to estimate the inherent kinetic parameters in the proposed models. The selection of the best kinetic model amongst the rival kinetic models was based on physicochemical and thermodynamic tests and statistical analysis was employed to further validate the best model. The rate-determining step for the alkylation of toluene with methanol over H-ZSM-5 coated silicon carbide foam catalyst was found to be the surface reaction between adsorbed toluene and adsorbed methanol. Excellent agreement was obtained between the experimental rate of reaction and conversion of toluene and the model predictions, with absolute relative residuals being at most 3.8% for conversion and 3.9% for rate of reaction. The activation energies and enthalpies of adsorption were predicted, as well as, their corresponding pre-exponential factors. The results of this study can be used for sizing the alkylation reactor for xylene production and optimization studies.
Effect of O2 on Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO by C3H6 over Fe Catalysts Supported on Porous Clay Heterostructures (Fe-PCH)
Authors: Y Su
Published: October 2022

K10 montmorillonite was used as the raw clay to prepare porous clay heterostructures (PCH) by organic template intercalation and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) was used as silicone source. Fe was load on the PCH support by impregnation method to prepare Fe-PCH catalysts. The catalytic activity tests were carried out in a fixed bed micro-reactor in the atmosphere of 0.1% C3 H6 , 0.1%NO, 0~10%O2 in N2 balance. The total flow rate was 100ml/min and corresponding gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) was 15000h-1. The mircro-reaction pathways were studied by Diffuse Reflection Infrared Fourier Transform Spectrometer (DRIFTS). The influence of O2 on the SCR-C3 H6 reactivity over Fe-PCH was analyzed. The results showed that FePCH catalyst exhibited the best catalytic performance without oxygen, which reached the maximum NO conversion of 100% at 4000 C. When the concentration of O2 is below a critical value, [O2 ]crit, the catalytic activity gradually decreased with the increasing concentration of O2 . When the concentration of O2 is above [O2 ]crit, the NO conversion was only 20%~30%. Fe-PCH catalysts were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), N2 adsorption/desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The results showed that Fe-PCH had supermicroporous and mesoporous structures. The active components on Fe-PCH catalyst were mainly α-Fe2 O3 nanorods, exposing (024) and (104) planes. The in situ DRIFTS technique was used to detect the reactive intermediates over the surface of Fe-PCH catalyst, which could help analyze the mechanism of the influence of oxygen on catalytic activity. The results presented that oxygen could inhibit the formation of isocyanate species over Fe-PCH catalyst during C3 H6 -SCR, which might be the reason for the decrease of NO conversion. Finally, a reasonable reaction path of C3 H6 -SCR over Fe-PCH catalyst was proposed.

Authors: SO Ode
Published: October 2022

Reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding radon as human lung carcinogen has generated a lot of research interest on the impacts of radon exposure to people all over the world. Radon concentration of different building types such as glass house, bricks and basement house structures at different locations geographically were reviewed to evaluate sustainable radon level as a strategic pathway for environmental sustainability in Nigeria. Volumes of expertises in research domain and their respective views were crystallized to forge status of Nigerians on the risk scale. Average mean radon concentration from cumulative survey suggested that dwelling and residential houses are within the recommended limit suggested by standard international and local organizations with little variations owing to several contributory factors. Research also shows that some buildings materials containing relative parent radionuclides of radon and its progenies can also contribute to indoor radon concentration, nevertheless, soil gas containing radon found in soils overlying basement rocks constitute the main source for indoor radon concentration within dwelling places. It is wholly to write that the delineated radon map will serve as a useful tool for determination of new building sites in Nigeria and as a guide for future radon remediation and monitory plan for the safest life in our dear Nation Nigeria.
The Causal Connection of the Three-Dimensional Structure of the Earth with the Category Time and its Physical Relation to the Existence of Human Being
Authors: G Dorda
Published: October 2022

The experimental data of the Earth show that a causal connection between the square of its effective radius and the square of its orbital time is given. This far-reaching finding is analyzed, disclosing that this observation is a result of the existence of the point-state of the Earth in the cosmos, described by the third law of Kepler, as well as a result of a time, given by the threedimensionality of the Earth, which allows to create the physical basis for human life. It is shown that the limiting character of the category time is the background of the significant difference of the magnitude of the personal state of a single person; this difference, which is observable between the beginning and the end of the so-called “living time”, discloses the extraordinary importance of the personal state at the end of the life of the considered person

Published: October 2022

Статья посвящена анализу сценариев внедрения BIM технологии в российских строительных компаниях. Актуальность выбранной темы связана с тем, что на практике данная технология используется в незначительном количестве строительных компаний РФ, при этом отсутствует единый подход к ее внедрению. В свою очередь, это тормозит переход к цифровизации строительной отрасли в условиях создаваемой в РФ цифровой экономики. Цель статьи ‒ провести анализ существующих сценариев внедрения BIM, предложить наиболее перспективный сценарий на основании оценки результатов и ошибок от реализации. В качестве метода применен общенаучный метод, а именно анализ научно-методической литературы и нормативных документов по теме исследования. Практическая ценность работы заключается в выделении наиболее перспективного сценария реализации BIM для строительных компаний, которые желают перейти на информационное моделирование, чтобы сохранить свою значимость в структуре цифровой экономики.

В данной статье автором рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с построением и анализом поверхностей влияния для элементов объединения сталежелезобетонных пролетных строений автодорожных мостов. В работе предложен алгоритм оптимизации процесса построения поверхностей влияния для конечно-элементных моделей путем использование нерегулярных сеток нагружений и последующей обработкой скриптами, реализованными на языке Python. Приводится сравнительный анализ диаграмм по результатам загружений поверхностей влияния, полученных для трех различных типов конечно-элементных моделей пролетного строения, при этом для сопоставления данных используется диаграммы усилий, полученных в ходе натурного эксперимента.
Бесшовность архитектурно-градостроительных BIM
Authors: Меньшикова Елена Павловна
Published: October 2022

Основная идея внедрения нового принципа проектирования и управления объектами: BIM (Building Information Modeling) – это бесшовность информации о строительном объекте, как по его технико-технологическим составляющим, так и во временном развитии. Однако в настоящее время процесса сращивания цепочки на стадии проектирования: «градостроительный объект – совокупность строительных объектов» не внедряется. Главный объект в системе развития BIM – объект капитального строительства. Градостроительное проектирование не включено в эту систему в силу отсутствия отечественного программного обеспечения. Таким образом, разрывается единство городского пространства, состоящее из отдельных объектов капитального строительства. Целесообразно создание программ для градостроительного проектирования и внедрение их в структуру BIM наравне с архитектурными, конструктивными и инженерными программами.

Данная статья посвящена анализу возможностей технологий виртуальной и дополненной реальности, а также оценке их применимости в сфере строительства. Работа основана на анализе литературных источников, описывающих применение изучаемых технологий в различных областях строительства, их преимущества, недостатки и границы применимости. В результате исследования отмечено, что использование данных технологий в строительстве имеет множество преимуществ, когда как выявленные недостатки, границы применимости изучаемых технологий и сложности их реализации в большей степени касаются аппаратной и программной части и исправимы по мере внедрения и развития этих технологий. Также по результатам оценки предполагается, что инвестиции в технологии VR и AR будут экономически целесообразными.

Published: October 2022

Застройщики стремятся обеспечить доступным жильем граждан, используя возможности применять минимально-допустимые нормы, в то время как представление потребителей, в особенности семьей, о комфортности жилой среды значительно отличается. Сравнивая планировочные решения российского жилого фонда с зарубежным, можно выделить минимальное число функциональных зон, а также меньшие площади жилой ячейки. В статье рассматривается модернизация планировочных решений типовых жилых зданий с применением BIM-технологий и генеративного дизайна, которые позволят ускорить процесс создания типовой застройки, а также сформировать алгоритм создания различных планировочных решений с учетом пожеланий и нужд населения.

Published: October 2022

При оценке безопасности строительно-монтажных работ при строительстве, реконструкции и приспособлении возникает необходимость проведения геодезического мониторинга за деформациями конструкций зданий. В настоящее время для этих целей широкое использование получили электронные тахеометры, имеющие погрешность измерений до 3 мм в зависимости от условий съемки. Для повышения точности наблюдений, получения объемных снимков этапов проведения работ и более информативного представления результатов обработки данных предлагается использование 3D-сканеров и лазерных трекеров. В статье показаны недостатки и основные преимущества данных приборов при их использовании в геодезическом мониторинге зданий. Предложена новая конструкция марки, позволяющая выполнять геодезические измерения.

Published: October 2022

Статья посвящена исследованию архитектурного и градостроительного наследия, при котором специалист (архитектор, архитектор-реставратор, инженер-реставратор) собирает максимально доступное количество информации об объекте исследования, в том числе данные и сведения о строительной истории. Объединение полученной информации в комплексе с данными цифрового построения модели позволяет предложить новый подход к вопросу сохранения объектов архитектурного и градостроительного наследия. Информационная модель архитектурного и градостроительного наследия является смешанной, т.е. объединяющей фактические геометрические и физические характеристики объекта, при этом включающей в себя оцифрованные документально-исторические свидетельства. Предлагаемая авторами концепция и подход пока не имеют широкого распространения в России, но безусловно имеет необходимость в разработке.

На данный момент отсутствуют какие-либо решения для визуализации в виртуальной реальности геометрии, моделируемой с использованием расширения Dynamo Revit. В то же время подобная визуализация обладает значительно более высокой эффективностью в сравнении со стандартными средствами визуализации Dynamo. В рамках данной работы описывается разработанный авторами программный комплекс, позволяющий выполнить VR-визуализацию геометрии, созданной в Dynamo. В ходе разработки данного комплекса был проведен анализ исходного кода Dynamo, выявлены наиболее эффективные способы извлечения геометрии, создано ПО для визуализации геометрии Dynamo в виртуальной среде.

Animal breeding programs can be improved by genetic markers associated with production and reproduction traits.Reproduction traits are important for economic success of pig production and therefore development of genetictools for selection is of high interest to pig breeding. In this study our objective was to identify genomic regions associatedwith fertility traits in two Finnish pig breeds using large scale SNP genotyping and genome wide associationanalysis and characterization of copy number variations (CNV). Since CNVs are structural variations of the genomethey potentially have a large effect on gene expression and protein function. We analyzed 1265 genotyped boarsfor nine different reproduction traits and identified 46 CNV regions encompassing 13 genes. 11 of the CNV regionswere shared between the breeds, 20 were unique to the Finnish Yorkshire and 15 to the Finnish Landrace. The genomewide association (GWAS) analysis identified zero to five reproduction associated genomic regions per trait.Furthermore, we identified 23 genomic regions with 20 candidate genes associated with fertility traits using GWASanalysis. The identified CNV regions were compared against GWAS regions to detect candidate regions with an effecton reproduction traits. This study reports candidate genes and genomic regions within two Finnish pig breedsfor reproduction traits, which can be utilized in breeding programs.
