FEATURES OF THE ARMED CONFLICT IN UKRAINE
Authors: Averianova Nina
Published: June 2020

Conflicts may arise within countries as well as between different countries. Conflict is an integral component of human existence. Conflicts occur in the economic, political, social, ideological, military, managerial and other spheres of public life. Accordingly, the methods and ways of their settlement vary significantly. It is dangerous that both internal (intrastate) and external (interstate) conflicts reduce the country's ability to defend its own interests in the world. Under certain circumstances, such conflicts can be used by external and internal players as an instrument of pressure on the state leadership and encourage it to adopt decisions and agreements that are unfavorable for the country. The solution to any conflicts requires a deep understanding of both the nature of their occurrence and the dynamics of the flow.
Today the most dangerous for Ukraine is the armed conflict in the Donbass. This conflict was provoked by the Russian Federation, which sees our country as a “buffer zone” against international military threats. The level of conflict in the zone of armed confrontation is very high. Negotiations at the international level and the efforts to resolve the conflict in Donbass did not bring the desired success. The citizens of Ukraine have no confidence in the successful completion of this conflict. It provokes a social apathy and aggression in Ukrainian society. The cessation of the armed conflict in Donbass is extremely important both for Ukraine and the entire world community. Now Ukraine is forced to develop a strategy of national self-preservation in the difficult and uncertain conditions of international security. Finding optimal answers to hybrid threats is a necessary precondition for maintaining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state.

Dobra osobiste uczelni publicznej
Authors: Szczotka Wojciech
Published: June 2020

Zagadnienie dotyczące dóbr osobistych uczelni publicznej łączy w sobie dwa aspekty podlegające w ostatnim czasie znaczącym przemianom. Pierwszy z nich dotyczy dóbr osobistych przysługujących osobom prawnym, a więc instytucji prawa cywilnego uregulowanej w przepisach Kodeksu cywilnego. Drugi element dotyczy pojęcia z zakresu prawa publicznego – uczelni publicznej, uregulowanego w tzw. Konstytucji dla Nauki, czyli ustawie Prawo o szkolnictwie wyższym i nauce. W związku z tym, że uczelnia publiczna posiada osobowość prawną, przysługują jej dobra osobiste jako podmiotowi prawa cywilnego. Oznacza to, że dobra te podlegają również ochronie przewidzianej w przepisach Kodeksu cywilnego. W konsekwencji, w razie bezprawnego zagrożenia lub naruszenia dobra osobistego, uczelnia publiczna może skutecznie występować z roszczeniami przewidzianymi w art. 24 i 448 k.c.

Spinal anaesthesia is the frequently used central block used in a surgical procedure. Different local anaesthetic drugs used in spinal anaesthesia differ in their analgesic property, lipid solubility, protein binding, pKa, and degree of spread, the baricity of solution being one of the primary determinants of spread of solutions.

To compare and evaluate the anaesthetic profile of preservative free 0.5% isobaric ropivacaine and bupivacaine in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries.

The clinical study enrolled 100 patients posted for lower abdominal surgeries under spinal anaesthesia. All the patients were then randomized and received either isobaric preservative free 3ml(15mg) of 0.5% bupivacaine (Group A, n=50) or 3ml(15mg) of 0.5% ropivacaine (Group B, n=50). Onset and duration of sensory and motor blocks, haemodynamic changes and any other side effects were noted.

Demographic variables between the two groups were not significant. Onset of sensory block was delayed in ropivacaine group B (4.80 ± 0.92 vs 4.35 ± 0.88 min, p <0.05) than group A, whereas duration was found to be significantly more in group A (170.29 ± 14.14 vs 155.77 ± 13.97min, p<0.05) than group B. Onset of motor block was also earlier in group A than group B with p value< 0.05, whereas duration was significantly shorter in group B (140.08 ± 16.58 vs 160.95 ± 15.74min). The two groups were comparable in maximum level of blockade reached and haemodynamic parameters. Incidence of hypotension and bradycardia was significantly less in ropivacaine group.

This study establishes that ropivacaine produces good sensory block and is more stable hemodynamically with lesser side effects.

Authors: Ranjan Panigrahi Manas , Mukhapadhyay Bhabananda , Tanweer Md.
Published: June 2020

Postoperative pain control is an important component of surgical patient care. Inadequate pain control in postoperative period increases mortality and morbidity to great extent. Studies have shown transdermal diclofenac is as effective as intramuscular diclofenac injection in postoperative analgesia, but a comparison of diclofenac rectal suppository and transdermal route is lacking. This research proposal intends to study and compare the effectiveness of Diclofenac transdermal patch and rectal suppository.

Randomized, Single Blind, Prospective, Comparative study.

ASA 1 and 2 patients scheduled for open cholecystectomy withsample size60 patients divided between group TD (transdermal patch, n=30) and RS (rectal suppository, n=30). 100 mg diclofenac epolamine patch was applied on inner aspect of left arm in TD group’s 1hr before incision Patch was changed 12hrly for 48 hrs. 100 mg diclofenac sodium was introduced per-rectally in PR group just before induction of anesthesia and repeated 12hrly for 48hrs. Each patient was monitored and data collected in PACU, PCA remote was again shown to patients and advised them to press button whenever they feel.

It has been found that both the groups were comparable in their demographic distribution, in terms of age and sex. 14 readings were taken from just after OT till 48hrs from starting surgery. None of the patients in the study showed the sign or symptoms of opioid overdosing. The pain was better controlled with Diclofenac through per rectal route than the transdermal route.

Considering mean rank of VAS till 6hrs after skin incision and drugs given during 1, 2 and 3 readings at 6 hr., 12 hr., 18 hr. and continue 6hrly and total drugs given till 48hrs, pain after open cholecystectomy was better controlled with diclofenac sodium rectal suppository in comparison to diclofenac epolamine patch.

Published: June 2020

Preoperative anxiety and stress are inevitable in patients awaiting surgery. However it is known that larger doses of anaesthetics, higher peri- and post-operative requirement of analgesia and longer hospital stay follow higher levels of anxiety. Studies have shown that pre-operative education reduces anxiety symptoms. This studywas undertaken to answer the question: “Does a structured educational intervention to demystify anaesthesia reduce fear and anxiety prior to surgery?”

To assess the role of patient education in reducing pre-operative anxiety and fear and improving satisfaction in patients undergoing surgery using the Anesthesia- and Surgery-dependent Preoperative Anxiety Scale (ASPA)and the Visual Analog Scale for fear and the Short Assessment of Patient Satisfaction (SAPS) in patients who have received the structured educational intervention and those who have not.

This is aparallel group, single blinded, randomised control trial in 56 consenting patients awaiting abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. The participants were randomized to the interventional and comparator groups and ASPA and VAS were administered. Participants in Group A were given the structured educational intervention to demystify anesthesia. The ASPA and VAS Scales were again administered by a blinded assessor to all participants. The student investigator administered SAPS on the third post-operative day or prior to discharge, whichever was earlier.

There was significant reduction in median scores before and after intervention for anxiety (ASPA=2) and fear (VAS=20) in intervention group compared to the comparator group. (p value=<0.001). The median scores for patient satisfaction as measured by SAPS was also higher in the intervention group compared to the comparator group.(p value=0.042).

There was a significant reduction of pre-operative fear and anxiety in the intervention group, while the patient satisfaction was also higher in the intervention group.

Authors: Zhen Zongao , Zhang Hao , Yan Mi , Wu Angjian , Lin Xiaoqing , Susanto Herri , Samyudia Yudi , Huang Qunxing , Li Xiaodong
Published: June 2020

A clear understanding of the basic characteristics of municipal solid waste is the basis for the investigation of appropriate disposal technique. Municipal solid wastes subdivided into 7 categories were sampled in 7 typical cities of Indonesia in this study. The physical composition, chemical properties of the municipal solid waste, as well as the impact of seasonal and geographical changes on the physical composition have been investigated. The physical and chemical characteristics of municipal solid waste in Indonesia is understood in detail.
The average percent content of each Indonesian waste category in sequence is 27.50% food waste, 20.42% mixture waste, 19.41% plastic waste, 14.54% paper waste, 9.25% wood waste, 4.90% textile waste, and 3.98% non-combustible waste. It is found that the seasonal changes have weak impact on the composition of MSW in Indonesia. The moisture content of each type of waste is above 30%, and the lower heating value on a wet basis of the overall municipal solid waste reaches 8.6MJ/Kg, which is well above the World Bank-recommended value (6MJ/Kg) for utilization in thermochemical conversion processes. The results prove that Indonesian municipal solid waste is potential for converting waste to renewable power or other energy products.
Thermal Analysis of Healthy and Ecological Friendly Flame Retardants for Textiles
Authors: Manich Albert M , Perez-Rentero Sonia , Alonso Cristina , Coderch Luisa , Martí Meritxell
Published: June 2020

Flame Retardants (FR) are a group of anthropogenic environmental contaminants used at a relatively high concentration in many applications. Currently, the largest marked group of FRs is halogenated FR, and many of them are considered toxic, persistent and bio accumulative. Non-halogenated alternatives are a possible solution for the problem, but there is a lack of knowledge concerning environmental impact, health risks during the production process and final use. The main objective of the LIFE-FLAREX project that supports this work, is the mitigation of the environmental and human health impact of flame retardants used in textiles, looking for new efficient more ecological and healthy alternatives, able to replace the most common FR’s that include toxic compounds like halogens, formaldehyde and antimony.  The aim of this work   is to determine the effect of conventional and ecological flame retardants on cotton and polyester fabrics by the application of differential scanning calorimetry DSC and thermogravimetric analysis TGA. Results have been compared with those given by the best FR applied to cotton/polyester blended fabric. The application of DSC up to 550°Cand TGA up to 600°C in N2 and O2 atmospheres give results that are in accordance with those yielded by the micro-scale combustion calorimeter. Onset temperatures  of decomposition, steps of loss of mass by temperature and final residues, enable to evaluate the thermal efficiency of the different flame retardants. Results have been compared with those given by the application of ammonium polyphosphate and guanidine phosphate on cotton/polyester 50/50 blend.

Aerial Forest Fire Detection and Monitoring Using a Small UAV
Authors: Vasconcelos Reinolds de Sousa Joaquim , Vieira Gamboa Pedro
Published: June 2020

In recent years, large patches of forest have been destroyed by fires, bringing tragic consequences for the environment and small settlements established around these regions. In this context, it is essential that fire fighting teams possess an increased situational awareness about the fire propagation, in order to promptly act in the extinguishing process. Recent advances in UAV technology allied with remote sensing and computer vision techniques show very promising UAVs applicability in forest fires detection and monitoring. Besides presenting lower operational costs, these vehicles are able to reach regions that are inaccessible or considered too dangerous for fire fighting crews operations. This paper describes the application of a real-time forest fire detection algorithm using aerial images captured by a video camera onboard    an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The forest fire detection algorithm consists of a rule-based colour model that uses both RGB and YCbCr colour spaces to identify fire pixels. An intuitive targeting system was also developed, allowing the detection of multiple fires at the same time. Additionally, a fire geolocation algorithm was developed in order to estimate the fire location in terms of latitude (φ),  longitude     (λ) and altitude (h). The geolocation algorithm consists of applying two coordinates systems transformations between the body-fixed frame, North-East-Down frame (NED) and Earth-Centered, Earth Fixed (ECEF) frame.

Usability Heuristic Evaluation in AAL Ecosystems
Authors: Romeiro Carlos , Araújo Pedro
Published: June 2020

In the past few  years there has been a significant growth of the elderly population   in both developing and developed countries. This event provided new economic, technical and demographic challenges to current societies in several areas and services. Among them the healthcare services can be highlighted, due to its impact in people daily lives. As a natural response an effort has been made by both the scientific and industrial community to develop alternatives, which could mitigate the current healthcare services bottlenecks and provide means in aiding and improve the end-user life quality. Through a combination of information and communication technologies specialized ecosystems have been developed, however multiple challenges arose, which compromise their adoption and acceptance among the main stakeholders, such as their autonomy, robustness, security, integration, human-computer interactions and usability. As consequence an effort has been made to deal with the technical related bottlenecks, which shifted the development process focus from the end-user to the ecosystems technological impairments. Despite there being user related issues, such as usability, which still remains to be addressed. Therefore this article focuses over the ecosystem’s usability through the analysis of the process used to check the ecosystem’s compliance level with the usability guidelines from Jakob Nielsen and Shneiderman; and the identification of the quantifiable parameters for each principle that could aid in the heuristics evaluation process by maximizing its objectivity improve its overall accuracy.

The Influence of the Nature of Different Sands on the Rheological and Mechanical Behavior of Self-compacting Concretes

Published: June 2020

Self-compacting concretes represent a new advance for concrete construction because they offer many advantages from the economic, technical and social point of view. They are very fluid concretes, which are put in place without vibration. When pouring into a formwork, tightening a BAP is ensured by the simple effect of gravity. Thanks to their formulation, they offer exceptional flow characteristics and filling formwork while resisting perfectly segregation. Homogeneous and stable, they have resistances and durability similar to those of traditional concretes of which they are differentiated by their properties in the fresh state. The use of self-compacting concrete reduces the noise nuisance, as well as the hardness of the work. This research work is part of a policy of contributing to the improvement of the properties of self-compacting concretes prepared from local materials in the M’sila region. In this study, we are interested in obtaining the most suitable concrete formulation for the different local materials of the M’sila region. Our study is directed towards the effect of the following parameters on the physico-mechanical properties of the composite such as: dynamic segregation, spreading diameter as well as mechanical strengths (compression, traction). It is therefore a question of determining the criteria to be imposed on these parameters, in order to lead to the construction of a self-compacting concrete characterized by  an acceptable resistance. The experimental results of compressive strengths show significant behaviors between BAP and BV. They allowed to distinguish a resistance gain between 15.11 and 49.28, this gain is explained by a rehydration of the cement matrix due to the migration of the water through the pores for the BAP, but also to better binding properties of the hydrates forms.

Objective Assessment of Sleep Movements in Neurodegenerative Patients Trough an Electrotextile Tool
Authors: José Ramos Belino Nuno , Melo Tavares Michella , Assunção Morais e Cunha Vaz Pato Maria
Published: June 2020

The present research work aims at the integration of textile materials and electronic components for the development of a new electrotextile structure to be used in human medicine and healthcare, specifically, in monitoring sleep movements of patients with neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer and Parkinson’s. In this context, we sought the development of a new technological solution that allows not only to assess sleep quality, but also to establish a link between the nocturnal movements (body area, number of movements, direction, intensity) of demented patients and their polysomnographic recorded data. For this purpose, the authors developed an electroactive textile system, in order to acquire biomechanic information during the patients’ night rest. The collected data will be statistically processed to verify any relation between night movements and the stage of the disease.

Proposal of an Iot Solution to Fire Risk Assessment Problem
Authors: Bernardo Ana , Silva Pedro , Fazendeiro Paulo
Published: June 2020

Several of the fighting weaknesses evidenced by the forest fires tragedies of the last years are rooted in the disconnection between the current technical/scientific resources and the availability of the resulting information to operational agents on the ground. In order to be effective, a pre-emptive response to similar disasters must include the articulation between local authorities at municipal level - in prevention, preparedness and initial response - and the common citizen who is on the field, resides there, and has a deeper knowledge about the field of operation. This work intends to take a first step in the development of a tool that can serve to improve the civic awareness of all and to support the decision-making of the competent authorities.

Published: June 2020

Architectural and urban projects in the countries of Eastern Europe after WWII were subordinated to political ideology, but also to the means of its implementation. The ideology of the communist party was realized through new forms of architecture and urban planning implemented in many war-ravaged and newly-built cities. This new, ideological architecture style was called socialist realism. The buildings of that period was to show the superiority of the new communist architecture over the modernist realizations of the interwar period. In many buildings, architectural solutions implemented were based on palace patterns, also numerous decorative elements, typical of Classicist architecture, were applied, enriched with themes of national architecture style. The urban systems created monumental spatial arrangements, often connected with industrial plants - steelworks, factories. The article will present chosen examples of housing estates complexes realized in socialist realism period in Poland (1949 - 1956).

Published: June 2020

Biomimetics is an area of science that studies the development of new technologies, whose source of inspiration is Nature. Unlike traditional aircraft, animals only have one structure to create both lift and thrust, and for Humans, although in the recent years the studies in this area increased, a long way must be made to achieve their capability. The present paper focuses on the effect of the Reynolds number on the wake configuration produced by a plunging airfoil. The experimental work was performed using an airstream, that was marked with smoke, with an oscillating airfoil NACA0012, whose dimensions are 44cm and 10cm of span and aerodynamic chord, respectively. The motion prescribed for the wing is harmonic, since it very well represents the type of motion seen in Nature. Frequency and amplitude were maintained, respectively, at 1.2Hz and 2.8cm, and the wind speed range from 0.25m/s to 1.00m/s, which represents a nondimensional amplitude of 0.28, a reduced frequencies of 3.02, 1.51 and 0.75, and a Strouhal number and a Reynolds number range of, 0.07 – 0.27 and 1,500 – 6,300, respectively. Results indicate that, with the increase of the Reynolds number, the convection effects become more predominant than diffusion effects, the curvature of the wakes and the maximum effective angle of attack decrease, and time and configuration of vortex shedding change. For Re = 1,500, St = 0.27, another relevant conclusion appears; the interaction of the leading-edge vortex with the trailing-edge vortex indicates an improvement of the aerodynamic performance of this system.

Designing an Eddy Current Brake for Engine Testing
Authors: José Rosa Nunes Alexandre , Miguel Ribeiro Proença Brojo Francisco
Published: June 2020

An Eddy Current Brake (ECB) has several advantages making it suitable for using in a dynamometer for testing engines. In this paper, a model is presented which considers the electromagnet’s core saturation to predict the performance of an ECB. A design is then proposed for a dual coil, single rotor ECB that meets the design requirement to dissipate a power of 30 kW at 3000 rpm. A comparison between the results obtained for a few different materials considered to be used in the rotating disc are also presented.

Development of a Modular Controller to Minimize Current Ripple in Low Inductance Coreless Permanent Magnet Motor
Authors: Miguel Guedes Rebelo Jorge , Ângelo Rodrigues Silvestre Miguel
Published: June 2020

In this paper, a development of a modular controller to minimize current ripple in a low inductance coreless permanent magnet synchronous motor (CPMSM) is described. Based on individual modules, the controller uses a 60 degree commutation scheme instead of the conventional 120 degree. The neutral point of the motor’s windings is connected to an intermediate voltage level provided by a capacitor bank relative to the DC power bus. This feature allows the utilization of a single current sensing point that is used to regulate the motor’s torque by hysteretic current level control. With this simplification of the control strategy it was possible to use a single Programable Logic Device (PLD) to implement all the processing in the controller. The controller was built and tested, and the results showed efficient and smooth operation of the motor.
