Bir Özel Hastanede Elektromanyetik Alan (EMA) Ölçümlerinin Gerçekleştirilmesi: Uşak İli Örneği
Authors: Tekin Engin , Emikönel Serpil
Published: June 2024

Son yıllarda hızla gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte insan yaşamının vazgeçilmez bir parçası haline gelen elektromanyetik alan (EMA) oluşturan cihazların gitgide artış göstermesi elektromanyetik kirliliği de beraberinde getirmektedir. Günlük hayatımızda sıklıkla kullandığımız cep telefonu, televizyon, radyo, mikrodalga fırın, internet vb. cihazlardan kaynaklanan elektromanyetik alana maruziyet söz konusu olmaktadır. İnsan sağlığı açısından elektromanyetik kirlilik düzeyinin belirlenmesi önem teşkil etmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışma alanlarında elektromanyetik alanın ulusal ve uluslararası kuruluşlar tarafından belirlenen sınır değerlere uygunluğunun belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışma bir özel hastanenin tüm katlarının koridorlarında ve bina önü alanında kısa süreli-anlık ölçümler alınarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca biyokimya laboratuvarı, manyetik rezonans (MR) operatör odası ve acil servis içinde de EMA ölçümü yapılmıştır. Her ölçüm noktasında 30 saniye aralıklarla, 6 dakikalık ölçümler alınmıştır. EMA ölçümleri 2023 yılı Mart-Nisan aylarında, Extech 480846 marka EMA ölçüm cihazı kullanılarak alınmıştır. Araştırmada, bir özel hastanenin 10 katının koridorlarında toplam 27 ölçüm noktasında, acil servis içerisindeki 3 ölçüm noktasında, biyokimya laboratuvarında iki cihaz yanı ve laboratuvar orta noktası olmak üzere 3 ölçüm noktasında ve hastane binası dışı alanında 3 ölçüm noktasında, MR operatör odasında olmak üzere toplam 37 ölçüm noktasında EMA ölçümleri alınmıştır. En yüksek EAmax değeri 10. katta (ameliyathane katı) ölçülürken; en düşük EAmax değeri 7. katta (doğumhane servisi) ölçülmüştür. Tüm katlarda ölçülen EMA değerleri, ulusal ve uluslararası kuruluşlarca belirlenen sınır değerlerin altındadır. Ayrıca, elektromanyetik kirliliğin gün geçtikçe artması nedeniyle, EMA ölçümlerinin periyodik olarak tekrarlanması önerilmektedir.

Pharmacotherapy of autoimmune rheumatic diseases – from monoclonal antibodies to CAR T cells: 20 years later
Authors: Nasonov E. L. , Rumyantsev A. G. , Samsonov M. Yu.
Published: June 2024

Autoimmunity is a pathological process associated with a violation of immunological tolerance to normal structural components of the body (autoantigens), associated with the predominance of active (adaptive) immunity and manifested by hyperproduction of autoantibodies. Systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) are among the most common and severe nosological forms of this pathology associated with autoimmunity. Problems of pharmacotherapy of SARDs are the subject of intensive research. At the beginning of the 21st century, more than 20 biologic agents were developed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis – monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and recombinant proteins that control inflammation associated with the overproduction of “pro-inflammatory” cytokines, the use of which has dramatically improved the results of pharmacotherapy. However, much less research has been devoted to studying the possibilities of pharmacotherapy aimed at selective suppression of the “autoimmune” component of the pathogenesis of SADRs associated with uncontrolled activation of B cells and restoration of immunological tolerance to autoantigens. In the spectrum of drugs whose mechanism of action is associated with the suppression of pathological activation of B cells, the leading place is occupied by rituximab (RTM). It is noteworthy that 20 years ago (2004), a group of researchers led by prof. J.C. Edwards first demonstrated the effectiveness of RTM in patients with RA, which was soon successfully repositioned to treat a wide range of SARDs. A major achievement in the pharmacotherapy of SARDs is associated with the use of CAR (сhimeric antigen receptor) T cell therapy, developed for the treatment of refractory hematological tumors. The main component of CART-cells is a genetically engineered T-cell receptor that recognizes the target antigen without the participation of the major histocompatibility complex. Although limited, extremely impressive data regarding high remission rates have been obtained by adapting CD19 CART-cell therapy to treat patients with severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other SARDs refractory to standard immunosuppressive medications. The article discusses the results of the use of CART-cell therapy in SLE and other SARDs and prospects for further research.

Published: June 2024

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), worldwide, annual influenza epidemics lead to approximately 3–5 million cases of severe forms of the disease and 250–500 thousand deaths. The problem of the course and outcomes of influenza is also relevant for patients with immunoinflammatory rheumatic diseases, including spondyloarthritis (SpA). However, data on the immunogenicity, efficacy and safety of influenza vaccines in patients with SpA are limited.

The aim of the work was to study the immunogenicity, efficacy and safety of the trivalent inactivated influenza split vaccine in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), observed at the V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology.

Materials and methods. 94 people were included in the study: 28 patients with AS, 14 patients with PsA, 52 patients in control group (СG) without immunoinflammatory rheumatic diseases. Vaccination with a trivalent inactivated influenza split vaccine was carried out over three consecutive epidemic seasons: 2020–2021, 2021–2022, 2022–2023. The majority of patients (71,4%) received immunosuppressive therapy. The trivalent inactivated influenza split vaccine was administered in an amount of 1 dose (0.5 ml) intramuscularly against the background of anti-rheumatic therapy, regardless of the activity of the main IVR. The level of antibodies (AT) of class G to hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza A (H1N1), A (H3N2) and B viruses was determined using enzyme immunoassay systems manufactured by PPDP LLC (St. Petersburg, Russian Federation) before vaccination, 1–3 (on average, 1,6±0,8) and 6 months after it. The clinical efficacy and safety of trivalent inactivated influenza split vaccine were also evaluated, including the effect on the activity of AS and PsA according to the dynamics of BASDAI and DAPSA indices.

Results. At the second and third visits after vaccination the level of AT, determined in units of optical density, to HA of influenza A (H1N1), A (H3N2) and B was significantly higher compared to baseline values. During follow-up, influenza or flu-like disease according to WHO criteria were absent in 37 patients. In general, there was no negative effect of vaccination on the activity of the underlying disease. The frequency of postvaccinal reactions in patients and in СG was comparable.

Conclusions. The obtained results of the study indicate sufficient immunogenicity, clinical efficacy and safety of trivalent inactivated influenza split vaccine in patients with AS and PsA.

Obstetric pathology (pregnancy loss at different gestational ages; premature delivery of morphologically normal foetus due to pre-/eclampsia or placental insufficiency), along with thrombotic complications are the main clinical manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Among arterial thromboses in APS, cerebral vascular thromboses in the form of strokes or transient ischaemic attacks. Patients with APS have a well known increased risk of thrombosis associated with pregnancy or conditions accompanied by hyperestrogenemia. More than half of thrombotic complications in women with APS occur during gestation or hyperestrogenemia. Most studies of pregnancy in APS have focused on women with recurrent fetal loss, and data on pregnancy outcomes in patients with other clinical phenotypes of APS, such as thrombotic APS, are limited. We present a case report of a patient with reliable thrombotic APS (with recurrent ischaemic cerebral circulatory disorders) and highly positive levels of antiphosphrolipid antibodies with a favourable pregnancy outcome.

Authors: Samolygo Ivan S. , Denisova Veronika D. , Erdes Svetlana I.
Published: June 2024

cystic fibrosis is a chronic, genetic, systemic disease, the pathogenesis of which is based on a defect in the apical transporter of chlorine ions, which leads to pathological thickening of mucus and its accumulation in the lumen of hollow organs, mainly bronchi, pancreas and others. Among genetic diseases, cystic fibrosis is quite common. In this regard, since 2007 in the territory of the russian Federation, all newborns are screened for cystic fibrosis. neonatal screening makes it possible to establish a diagnosis at an early stage, which significantly improves the further prognosis. However, not all patients manage to confirm the diagnosis from birth. This clinical case shows how late diagnosis of the disease leads to the development of severe complications and deterioration of the prognosis.

Sinergias em redes urbanas: complementaridades e competitividades
Authors: Santos Iann Dellano da Silva , Castilho Denis
Published: June 2024

A respeito da diversidade e da complexidade das redes urbanas, as relações entre complementaridade e competitividade entre centros urbanos podem ser examinadas para compreender não somente a particularidade dessas redes, como também o papel desempenhado por elas nas relações de produção e os mecanismos que dão sentido às suas dinâmicas e significados. Na tentativa de compreender essas interfaces, este artigo, de cunho exploratório bibliográfico, questiona a combinação entre elas e suas predominâncias. Diferentemente do dualismo ou da tradicional separação entre esses pares, verifica-se uma sinergia entre ambas e a depender da predominância de uma ou de outra, pode desencadear relativas estratificações ou instabilidades na rede urbana regional. Em um sentido amplo e utópico, distante de sinergias regidas por sistemas corporativos de mercado e a depender de um conjunto de estratégias bem coordenadas em escala regional, as relações complementares podem alcançar níveis de cooperação e de trocas mais horizontalizadas. Nesses termos, as relações sinérgicas podem apresentar importantes quebras no padrão hierárquico e desigual das redes urbanas. Contudo, considera-se que a dialética entre competitividade e complementaridade remete à necessidade de averiguação sine qua non de cada caso.

Lexical Ambiguity in Eggon Language
Authors: Garba Patience Ashesla
Published: June 2024

Ambiguity is a common phenomenon found across languages and has been studied extensively. Nevertheless, not not much has been done on ambiguity in Eggon. In an attempt to fill the existing gap, the present article studies ambiguity and its intricacies in Eggon Language. Specifically, the research aims at exposing lexical ambiguity in the language, its nature and sources. The study also tries to provide ways of disambiguating such structures. Data is generated through participant observation of native speakers, documented sources (Eggon dictionary) and introspection. Descriptive method is used in analysing the generated data. The findings show that ambiguity is a common phenomenon in Eggon. The use of tone helps to disambiguate some ambiguous words. Moreover, most lexical ambiguities occur due to polysemy and homonymy and can be disambiguated through contextualization. Lexical ambiguity also results in other types of ambiguities in the language, such as semantic and syntactic ambiguities. Further study into dialectal ambiguity will add to Eggon linguistic database.

The high incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARI) in children in Indonesia raises serious concerns in the field of public health. Various studies have identified several determinants contributing to the occurrence of ARI in toddlers. This study aims to determine the determinants of acute respiratory infections in children. The research used a cross-sectional design conducted in Lanny Jaya Regency in 2022. The study sample consisted of 133 mothers of toddlers selected using simple random sampling techniques. Data analysis was conducted using chi-square tests and multivariate analysis with logistic regression to determine unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios. The results showed that in the unadjusted analysis, maternal education (OR 3.472; 95% CI 1.471-8.196), mothers' knowledge about ARI (OR 3.185; 95% CI 1.564-6.487), immunization status (OR 3.016; 95% CI 1.457-6.242), and environmental factors (OR 6.548; 95% CI 3.017-14.210) were risk factors for ARI occurrence. Meanwhile, the adjusted analysis with multivariate analysis showed that environmental factors (OR 5.549; 95% CI 2.366-13.015) were the only risk factors for ARI occurrence. Mothers' knowledge about ARI (OR 0.247; 95% CI 0.103-0.591) and immunization status (OR 0.337; 95% CI 0.139-0.816) were protective factors against ARI occurrence. It is recommended that environmental quality, maternal health education, and immunization coverage be improved to reduce the incidence of ARI in children.

The Experiences of School Leaders in Indigenous People Integrated Schools in Talaingod, Davao Del Norte: A Phenomenological Study
Authors: Lugatiman Ruel C. , Bauyot Marleonie M.
Published: June 2024

School heads in Indigenous People (IP) integrated schools face several challenges on their journey of providing quality education. A qualitative phenomenological research study examined the experience, coping mechanisms, and insights from 10 teachers assigned to the Talaingod District, Division of Davao del Norte. The participants were not residents of the school they had been assigned to.A focus group discussion (FGD) was conducted among five school leader- participants and six participants in in-depth interviews. The result shows that school heads in IP integrated schools have challenging jobs, struggling experiences in reaching schools, and building character. Sustaining physically healthy, helping one another and having positive work place are among the mechanisms of their ability to cope. They’ve created a framework of professional development, leadership resilience, and resourcefulness. They were concluded to have developed a sense of commitment to their profession and willingness to continue their journey despite the difficulties they had encountered. The findings of this study may help the officials of the Division Office to provide additional payments and benefits or insurance to the school heads and teachers and a wellness program may be organized to destress them in remote areas. By cooperating with other government parties, school leaders can improve the way they manage their schools.
Deterministic Versus Nondeterministic Optimization Algorithms for the Restricted Boltzmann Machine
Authors: Zeng Gengsheng L.
Published: June 2024

A restricted Boltzmann machine is a fully connected shallow neural network. It can be used to solve many challenging optimization problems. The Boltzmann machines are usually considered probability models. Probability models normally use nondeterministic algorithms to solve their parameters. The Hopfield network which is also known as the Ising model is a special case of a Boltzmann machine, in the sense that the hidden layer is the same as the visible layer. The weights and biases from the visible layer to the hidden layer are the same as the weights and biases from the hidden layer to the visible layer. When the Hopfield network is considered a probabilistic model, everything is treated as stochastic (i.e., random) and nondeterministic. An optimization problem in the Hopfield network is considered searching for the samples that have higher probabilities according to a probability density function. This paper proposes a method to consider the Hopfield network as a deterministic model, in which nothing is random, and no stochastic distribution is used. An optimization problem associated with the Hopfield network thus has a deterministic objective function (also known as loss function or cost function) that is the energy function itself. The purpose of the objective function is to assist the Hopfield network to reach a state that has a lower energy. This study suggests that deterministic optimization algorithms can be used for the associated optimization problems. The deterministic algorithm has the same mathematical form for the calculation of a perceptron that consists of a dot product, a bias, and a nonlinear activation function. This paper uses some examples of searching for stable states to demonstrate that the deterministic optimization method may have a faster convergence rate and smaller errors.

“Combinamos de não morrer”: pensamento feminista negro e questões de direitos humanos
Authors: Dias Luciana de Oliveira
Published: June 2024

O o esforço de es crita neste ensaio foi, primeiramente, por delinear os contornos de um pensamento feminista negro tal qual vem se expressando no Brasil. Em um segundo momento, verifica-se como o feminismo negro tem se tornado uma forma de resistência propositiva às violações de direitos humanos de mulheres negras. O recorte empírico das reflexões aqui apresentadas recaiu sobre a universidade como o espaço de produção de conhecimentos que tem se tornado, nas últimas décadas, mais plural no que se refere aos pertencimentos étnico-raciais das pessoas que a compõem.
“Meu filho, minhas regras”: pânicos morais, direitos sexuais e o projeto neoliberal de educação na cidade de Londrina (PR)
Authors: Ramírez-Gálvez Martha , Facioli Lara , Ribeiro Luci
Published: June 2024

Embora discursos de grupos conservadores que alvejam os estudos de gênero e avanços em direitos sexuais, caracterizados sob o espantalho de "ideologia de gênero”, ocorram há algumas décadas no cenário mundial; é nos últimos dez anos que essas discussões ganharam a cena pública brasileira. Diante deste contexto, cabe indagar em que condições políticas e sociais a deturpação do conceito de gênero serviu como catalisador de pânicos morais, como parte de um projeto de poder de alguns partidos e figuras políticas. Esse artigo visa contribuir para a compreensão desse processo através da análise conjuntural sobre a tramitação do projeto inconstitucional de alteração da Lei Orgânica Municipal de Londrina (PR), que proibiu qualquer manifestação de gênero, nos termos dos Princípios de Yogyakarta, na rede municipal de ensino.

Laying performance and hatchability rate of true-To-type Bolinao native chicken in Abra State Institute of Sciences and Technology Demo-Site Lagangilang, Abra, Philippines
Authors: Tadeo Dina
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the egg production, hen house egg production, egg weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR), hatchability rate, and chick weight of True-to-type Bolinao native chickens from Abra and Bolinao origins over eight months. A total of 48 heads native chickens in each group with a ratio of 5:1 (hen: rooster) was followed, and data gathered such as the mean was tabulated in Excel and analyzed using SPSS on the T-test at 0.05 alpha for the significance level. Results indicate significant differences in egg production between the two groups, with Abra-origin chickens consistently outperforming Bolinao-origin chickens. Bolinao chickens displayed higher egg weights, but lower egg production compared to Abra chickens. However, both groups exhibited satisfactory hatchability rates and similar chick weights. The FCR was higher than optimal values for both groups, potentially due to lower egg production compared to commercial layers. Overall, the study underscores the importance of genetic, environmental, and management factors in influencing egg production and quality in native chicken populations, providing valuable insights for future breeding and management strategies.

Cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) targeting through intra-nasal route by using nanotechnology emerging as a powerful technique for different brain diseases
Authors: Maurya Sunny
Published: June 2024

The human brain, a highly sensitive organ, functions as the body's central control unit and is naturally protected to preserve neurological health. The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) presents a significant challenge to the delivery of drugs into the brain. Oral medications face low bioavailability and restricted brain exposure, compounded by rapid metabolism, elimination, unwanted side effects, and the necessity for high doses. These factors lead to inconvenience for patients and substantial costs for patients, their families, and society. The primary obstacle to effective brain penetration of these compounds is the BBB, which safeguards the brain from xenobiotics. Consequently, treating brain diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, mood disorders, and bacterial infections is more complex. The intranasal route of administration offers a promising alternative for bypassing the BBB in brain drug delivery, facilitating drug transport from the nasal cavity to the brain via the olfactory and trigeminal nerves.
Uzasadnienie funkcjonowania ubezpieczeń społecznych, w tym ubezpieczenia
społecznego w rolnictwie
Authors: Pawłowska-Tyszko Joanna
Published: June 2024

Problem ryzyka w rolnictwie dotyka, jak w każdej innej działalności, wielu jego obszarów
nie tylko o charakterze gospodarczym, lecz także społecznym. W dobie narastania kryzysu społecznego poszukiwanie wzorców dla funkcjonowania państwa opiekuńczego wydaje się być zasadne. Jednym z instrumentów łagodzących ryzyko socjalne, tak aby można je było włączyć do normalnego funkcjonowania społeczeństw, są ubezpieczenia społeczne. Celem niniejszego opracowania była identyfikacja przesłanek uzasadniających konstruowanie powszechnych systemów ubezpieczeniowych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ubezpieczeń społecznych w rolnictwie. U podstaw konstrukcji systemów ubezpieczeniowych przeznaczonych dla rolnictwa leżą przesłanki natury społeczno-ekonomicznej (strategiczne znaczenie sektora rolnego dla gospodarki i zachowania równowagi społeczno-środowiskowej, duża niepewność i nieprzewidywalność prowadzenia działalności rolniczej, a także duże wahania dochodu), jak również politycznej, co wyjaśnia teoria wyboru publicznego.

Słowa kluczowe: ENASP, KRUS, rolnictwo, systemy ubezpieczeniowe, ubezpieczenia społeczne,
ubezpieczenia społeczne w rolnictwie.
Business insurance in holistic risk management in agriculture (UBROL project) – review and dispute
Authors: Walczak Damian
Published: June 2024

Between 2020 and 2022, three monographs were published as part of a project entitled “Business insurance in holistic risk management in agriculture oriented on sustainability, implementation of innovations and technologies, and opposing climate change” (a project co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) under the GOSPOSTRATEG programme). The studies under review, which were written with knowledge of the research topic and based on the authors’ own empirical research, are of an interdisciplinary nature, with the authors coming from numerous academic centres and varied academic disciplines. They expand on previous knowledge, not only with regards the titular business insurance, but also agriculture and, above all, agricultural risk management. Viewing the contents of the studies in general terms, it can be said that they are indeed interdisciplinary, although not sufficiently organised as regards the holistic model. For this reason the monographs, following revision, editing and minor abbreviations, should be published – an initiative worth recommending to the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics – State Research Institute (IERiGŻ PIB) or the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MRiRW) – in a single volume, which would undoubtedly result in some outstanding work covering several academic disciplines related to agriculture. Such work could then be quoted by and recommended to practitioners, theory makers and, as a likely objective of the study notwithstanding, to university students. Keywords: risk, agriculture, insurance, crops.

Published: June 2024

Ser cuidador informal de un adulto mayor dependiente es una labor extenuante, debido a las implicaciones y retos inherentes a esta función. La falta de recursos de afrontamiento da pauta a conflictos que merman en la calidad de vida del cuidador, repercutiendo en las atenciones que ejerce durante su cargo. Siendo necesario contar con alternativas que permitan sobrellevar las crisis emergentes. Objetivo: realizar una revisión sistemática sobre programas de intervención dirigidos a cuidadores informales en diferentes países, con el propósito de conocer su efectividad. Metodología: para la revisión sistemática de artículos se utilizó el método PRISMA, con el fin de evaluar su pertinencia. Para calificar
su calidad y merito científico se utilizó el instrumento ICrESAI-IMeCI. Para la búsqueda de información se utilizaron las siguientes bases de datos: Portal Regional de la BVS (Biblioteca Virtual de Salud), Pubmed y Sciencedirect. Resultados: El proceso de selección arrojó un total de 2287 resultados y utilizando diferentes filtros se escogieron 5 artículos, de los cuales 2 se descartaron debido a su limitado abordaje del problema. Los 3 restantes exploran estrategias de trabajo donde se considera a los cuidadores como elemento clave para la elaboración de propuestas. Conclusión: los programas de intervención en cuidadores informales de adultos mayores dependientes buscan erradicar una problemática social con resultados poco favorables, aspecto que se asocia a su metodología, al análisis poco detallado de sus resultados y la falta de evaluaciones posteriores. Conocer estas carencias ayudará a estructurar proyectos que realmente logren solventar las futuras necesidades de un grupo poblacional en aumento.
APLICACIÓN DE LA TEORÍA DE DOROTHEA OREN, EN LA ATENCIÓN DOMICILIARIA ESTUDIO DE FAMILIA
Authors: Morales González Isoris U. , Lemos Sanchez Emanuel , De León Castillo Nicole
Published: June 2024

El Estudio de Familia es una de las estrategias de Atención Primaria en Salud, utilizada en diversas disciplinas y dentro de la formación de los profesionales de enfermería, representa una modalidad vinculante para el entendimiento de los procesos de salud y enfermedad del individuo y su familia. La familia es un determinante de salud fundamental, que permite entender el desarrollo de los individuos y la comunidad. El propósito de este estudio de familia es realizar un plan de atención integral, utilizando la teoría del autocuidado de Dorothea Orem que enseña la importancia del autocuidado para mantener y conservar la salud desde un enfoque biopsicosocial. El estudio de familia se inició, con la visita del caso índice, que es una Adulta Mayor con una úlcera venosa grado II, además con enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles degenerativas anexas como la diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial, artrosis e insuficiencia arterial. El objetivo es analizar las dimensiones de la familia seleccionada, desde el paciente índice y su familia, hasta su entorno, enfermedad y vivienda, y aplicar la teoría de enfermería seleccionada. Se utilizó un instrumento para la recolección de datos del paciente y la familia (entrevista), se aplicó un apgar familiar, además de la confección de un FODA y familiograma, instrumentos para el mejor análisis de los datos recolectados. De las intervenciones resaltan cápsulas educativas y educación en salud, creación de material educativo alusivo a estas, docencia y actividades demostrativas al familiar y paciente. Los resultados más significativos fueron la mejora en el autocuidado de la paciente ante su salud, la integración familiar en el proceso de cicatrización del paciente, mejores prácticas del manejo de la mecánica corporal de los cuidadores, integración a otros programas de salud como el Programa de Atención Domiciliaria Integral (SADI), Medicina Interna y Programa de Adultos, y mayor adherencia al Programa de Clínica de Heridas.

Finalmente, se caracterizan los ángulos construibles y se determinan expresiones exactas para las funciones seno y coseno de ángulos construibles.
Adaptive reuse of modern heritage for cultural purpose: Hybridization strategies in Pier Luigi Nervi Hangar, Italy
Authors: Cucco Pasquale , Neri Giulia , Ribera Federica
Published: June 2024

The evolution of cities and urban landscapes has witnessed the rise of architectural complexes and urban areas adapting to new functions while leaving behind others deemed obsolete. This phenomenon has sparked a surge in research endeavours aimed at hybridizing land use, not only for urban planning but also for the revitalization of historical edifices. This resurgence often entails the requalification and adaptive reuse of architectural artifacts, harmonizing their historical significance with contemporary demands. This paper delves into a case study focusing on the hybridization project of a pivotal piece of Italian engineering history: the 1938 hangar designed by Pier Luigi Nervi in Salerno, Italy, a groundbreaking prefabricated reinforced concrete structure. The study faces the dual challenge of preserving the hangar’s cultural and technological heritage while seamlessly integrating contemporary cultural functions alongside its military roots. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this research navigates through the complexities of architectural hybridization, offering insights into the preservation and adaptation of historical landmarks for future generations.

The European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is an endangered species native to the Iberian Peninsula, playing a vital ecological role in Mediterranean ecosystems as prey for several threatened predators. Conservation efforts have been implemented to halt its decline, with a particular focus on the Iberian rabbit subspecies (Oryctolagus cuniculus algirus). Many conservation programmes involve restocking and habitat management, including the construction of artificial warrens to provide essential refuge sites. In this study, we examined the use of four types of artificial warrens (logs, Mayoral®, pallets and tubes) by a restocked Iberian rabbit population within a fenced park in southern Portugal. We investigated the factors influencing warren use, basing our analysis on faecal pellet counts at the entrances of artificial warrens. We analysed spatial and temporal patterns in warren use using a generalised additive mixed model. Additionally, we determined the efficiency of each type of artificial warren by computing the ratio between the costs of building the warren and the level of warren use by the rabbits. Our results indicate that Mayoral, tube and log warrens are significantly less used compared to pallet warrens (Logs: β=–0.171±0.041; Mayoral: β=–0.149±0.058; Tube: β=–0.240±0.071). Moreover, pallet warrens were found to be more cost-effective compared to other types analysed. Furthermore, rabbits preferred artificial warrens surrounded by a higher proportion of shrubs (β=0.132±0.037). Artificial warren use exhibited seasonal variation, declining gradually during the winter and early spring, and recovering in late spring, coinciding with the expected breeding peak. Based on our findings, we recommend the implementation of pallet warrens in rabbit restocking programmes to provide immediate shelter and breeding sites for the released rabbits. Furthermore, artificial warrens should be strategically located near shrub patches to facilitate safe access to vital resources such as food and water.

Published: June 2024

The study explores common distribution patterns used by informal fish vendors in Tanzanian public fish market and contribution towards food access, and food security among low income earners. The study further delves deeper into comprehending challenges facing informal fish vendors have when distributing fish using their chosen distribution patterns. Researchers conducted the study in Dar es Salaam's Kivukoni Fish Market and employed qualitative approaches. Data were collected interviews, observation and document analysis. The study employed a sample of 35 participants obtained by convenient sampling technique. Content analysis was performed manually to obtain important contents and themes emanating from the collected data. Findings demonstrated that informal fish vendors have a variety of distribution patterns and these are chosen based on vendors’ financial ability, distance and the nature of consumers to whom fish is distributed. Such patterns range from bicycles, traditional rickshaws ‘guta’, footing among others. Despite the presence of such poor and informal patterns in fish supply, the presence of informal fish vendors has been of paramount importance to low income communities as they facilitate access to cheap fish which ensures them of their daily survival. The study recommends nurturing of informal fish vendors as they are an important component to food access and security to low income earners living in the suburbs of Dar es salaam city.
