Published: November 2021

У статті порушується проблема формування артистизму виконавця-піаніста. Актуальність піднятої проблеми зумовлена значенням професійної підготовки митця у художньому вихованні слухацької аудиторії. Автор розглядає феномен артистизму виконавця-піаніста з позицій особистісної потреби його у самовиражен- ні та самовдосконаленні, здатності комунікативного впливу його на слухацьку аудиторію шляхом зовнішнього вираження внутрішнього змісту художнього образу твору. Артистизм музиканта виявляється у його образному мисленні, відчутті внутрішньої свободи, пошуку нестан- дартних рішень у розв’язанні художніх проблем. Невід’ємною складовою частиною виконавського артистизму виконавця-піаніста автор визначає культуру звуковидобування, яскравість, насиченість, тембральне забарвлення, масштабність звуку; вміння музиканта знаходити нові звукові фарби, які відповідають стилю автора музики. На прикладі творчості відомих піаністів-виконавців Ф. Ліста та С. Рахманінова автор ілюструє феноменальні техніки та манери артистичного виконавства піаністів. Визначаючи основні засади формування артистизму, автор спирається на дослідження А. Гаріпової, І. Єргiєва, Н. Кашкадамової, В. Комарова, С. Ожегова, С. Савшинського, котрі визначають різні ознаки артистизму як сукуп- ність виявів сценічної поведінки, що криється у балансі раціонального й емоційного у структурі художнього мис- лення, художніх уподобань У статті пропонуються методи формування виконавського артистизму студента-музиканта, які передбачають глибоку обізнаність у фортепіанному виконавстві, детальне опанування музичного тексту, самостійний вибір емо- ційної канви, власний інтерпретаційний пошук, свободу вибору виконавцем засобів для втілення авторського задуму. Артистизм студента виконавця-піаніста вимагає сценічного натхнення, вільної імпровізації, вміння проде- монструвати кращі риси креативної особистості митця. З цього погляду автор розглядає артистизм як один із голо- вних компонентів музично-виконавської культури, тісно пов’язаної з духовно-естетичною сферою музиканта.
ПРОБЛЕМИ ВПРОВАДЖЕННЯ СУЧАСНИХ ТРЕНАЖЕРНИХ ОСВІТНІХ ЗАСОБІВ У НАЗЕМНЕ НАВЧАННЯ МАЙБУТНІХ ЛЬОТЧИКІВ ТАКТИЧНОЇ АВІАЦІЇ
Authors: НЕВЗОРОВ Р. В.
Published: November 2021

У цій статті, що є публікацією окремих положень докторського дисертаційного дослідження автора, здійсне- ний пошук та аналіз основних проблем впровадження сучасних тренажерних освітніх засобів у наземне навчання майбутніх льотчиків тактичної авіації у вищому військовому закладі освіти (ВВЗО) України. Ця проблема ще не була об’єктом окремого педагогічного дослідження. В рамках піднятої проблематики дослідження розкриті клю- чові поняття «наземне навчання», «авіаційний тренажер», «тренажерна підготовка» в їх змістовному зв’язку щодо фахової підготовки курсантів – військових льотчиків. Обґрунтовано пропевдичну роль тренажерної підготовки в ній, значний методичний і освітній потенціал як перспективного технологічного інструменту, що зв’язує теоретичне навчання і наземну підготовку з безпосереднім льотним навчанням на літаках. Автор аргументовано пропонує роз- глядати наземне навчання як ядро системи забезпечення якісної фахової підготовки військових льотчиків-курсантів в умовах ВВЗО, а впровадження сучасних тренажерних освітніх засобів – як необхідну умову їх достатньої навче- ності та формування професійно значимих компетенцій. Зазначається, що саме вона забезпечує реалізацію функ- ціональної моделі системи «людина-машина», що особливо актуально для складних технічних професій, у яких люди виступають операторами особливо складних систем. При цьому констатується недостатній рівень такого впровадження на сьогоднішній день в Україні. Значний акцент зроблений на потенціалі тренажерної підготовки як оптимальної освітньої альтернативи надзвичайно коштовній підготовці військових льотчиків безпосередньо на літальних апаратах. Доведено, що правильно організована тренажерна підготовка може реально зекономити значні фінансові ресурси під час льотного навчання, а також психологічно і технічно готує курсантів до кращого професій- ного сприйняття власне льотної практики. Основними проблемами запровадження сучасних тренажерних засобів навчання в освітній процес майбутніх льотчиків тактичної авіації визначено недостатнє фінансування матеріально- технічної бази вітчизняного ВВЗО та недостатня науково-педагогічна розробленість методичного складника засто- сування тренажерних засобів навчання. Запропоновані конкретні шляхи вирішення вказаних проблем.
Vocabulary related episodes (VREs) in EFL listening lessons: How, why, when and who benefits?
Authors: Wei Judy
Published: November 2021

This presentation reports on results from Judy’s PhD research into the teaching of L2 listening in EFL classes taught by two teachers at a Chinese university. The research focused on the relationship between vocabulary and listening. Observation data was collected from thirteen lessons taught by the two teachers (six and seven lessons respectively). Data was also collected from interviews with the teachers and their students who also sat pre-and post-lesson vocabulary tests to investigate vocabulary learning gains from these classes. This talk will report findings on the nature of vocabulary related episodes (VREs) initiated by the teachers and on the relationship between VREs and vocabulary learning. These findings include comparisons of the ways each teacher dealt with vocabulary and of their different views of the importance of vocabulary in listening, as well as how these behaviours and views influenced the perceptions of learners as to the value of vocabulary teaching.

What are the pros and cons of wordlist-based development of academic collocation tests?

Academic collocations (e.g., empirical evidence, key element) are important as they occur in a wide range of registers and disciplines. Corpus-based word lists of academic collocations are valuable resources for EAP pedagogy, and one useful application of such word lists is for test development. The focus of this talk is designing the Academic Collocation Tests based on the Academic Collocation List (Ackermann Chen, 2013). The six steps of creating the tests will be presented, which aim to lay the groundwork for further application of multiword-unit lists into developing tests. Benefits and challenges of wordlist-based test development will then be discussed, followed by implications for testing.

How to develop an integrated-writing test?

Integrated writing (IW) tests or reading-writing tests are gaining popularity because they are claimed to be authentic and valid (Weigle, 2004). However, although IW tests aim to demarcate students' general academic preparedness levels for university, the majority of these tests are not strong enough for such purposes to meet the requirements of university courses. To understand the target language use (TLU) domain requirements, reading and writing requirements in first-year humanities and social sciences courses at VUW were analysed. Based on these requirements, an IW test was developed. The stages of test development, related challenges, and opportunities will be presented. Recommendations will be made for EAP teaching and IW testing.
Dyrene i skogen – Om kunnskap, barn og voksne i naturbarnehagen
Authors: Dyblie Nilsen Randi
Published: November 2021

Denne artikkelen er en del av formidlingen fra det pågående prosjektet ”Naturlig barndom” i norske barnehager? som blant annet sikter mot å gi innsikt i barnehagen som sosialiseringsarena. Sosialisering innbefatter her en forståelse av at både barn og voksne er aktører i en stadig prosess av kulturell produksjon – reproduksjon (Nilsen 2000a). I dette prosjektet har jeg valgt et tematisk utgangspunkt i natur og uteliv der barn og voksnes praksis i barnehagen står sentralt. En umiddelbar bakgrunn for dette valget er erfaringer fra tidligere forskning i barnehagens hverdagsliv (Nilsen 2000a). I en ny studie tar jeg opp tråden. Endringer med flere natur- og friluftsbarnehager har ført til at det nå også er mulig å studere barnehager der vektleggingen av natur og uteliv i den daglige virksomhet er særdeles tydelig. Det skal altså handle om natur- og friluftsbarnehager, som jeg for enkelhets skyld i fortsettelsen benevner naturbarnehager. Et kvalitativt/etnografisk datamateriale fra et lengre feltarbeid i en slik barnehage utgjør den empiriske basisen i denne artikkelen. Med utgangspunkt i ”naturen” som overgripende tema (Gullestad 1989, 1997 og Nilsen i trykken) har jeg identifisert tre tydelige tematiske områder i datamaterialet fra naturbarnehagens hverdagsliv. Jeg har foreløpig begrepsfestet disse som: (1) miljø- og naturvern, (2) tur og friluftsliv og (3) fauna (dyr, fugler og fisk). Dette er gjentagende tema som aktualiseres i barn og voksnes praksis: i en rekke situasjoner og hendelser, i ytringer, samtaler og i materielle forhold. Slike tema er en del av den pedagogiske virksomheten, og de voksne kan slik sett sies å være ledende initiativtagere, men som vi skal se er også barna deltagere. De tre temaene kan skilles analytisk, men de griper også inn i hverandre. I analytisk arbeid med et fyldig datamateriale trer detaljer og nyanser fram, og jeg vil i den artikkelen konsentrere framstillingen fra feltarbeidet om et av de identifiserte temaene: fauna. Nærmere bestemt er det hendelser og samtaler med og mellom barn og voksne der temaet skogens dyr og fugler aktualiseres. Med basis i datamaterialet, den sosiale barndomsforskningen og poststrukturalistiske perspektiver belyses barn som et lærende subjekt i en naturbarnehagekontekst.

Førskolebarns tekstproduksjon i hjemmet
Authors: Semundseth Marit
Published: November 2021

Mange barn i førskolealder lager tekster, og tekstene lages både i barnehagen så vel som hjemme og andre steder. Sett i et historisk perspektiv er det av relativ ny dato at barns tekster løftes frem og analyseres med tanke på å forstå hva det er ungene vil formidle. I dag opererer vi med et utvidet tekstbegrep. Dette gjør at også barns tegninger eller rablinger/skriblerier inkluderes i et felles ekstbegrep og blir ansett for å være interessante og nyttige for oss – for eksempel i et forskningsperspektiv (Lorentzen 1999, Hopperstad 2004a). I denne artikkelen setter jeg søkelyset på førskolebarns tekstproduksjon i hjemmet. Jeg presenterer analyse og nærlesing av to tekster skrevet av ei jente da hun var henholdsvis 3 år og 4 md. og 4 år og 1 md. Mitt hovedanliggende er å synliggjøre noe av den tekstkunnskapen (skrive- og leseferdighetene) mange førskolebarn besitter. Sammen med å synliggjøre innholdet i de to utvalgte tekstene viser jeg også hvordan samtaler mellom barn og voksne kan være en brobygger i forståelsen av barnas tekster.
Chlamydia trachomatis lower genital tract infection and spontaneous preterm birth: a case-control study nested in the BRISA cohort
Authors: Bastos Larissa Brito , Cunha Giulia Karnauchovas Porto , Freitas Stella Felippe de , Cavalli Ricardo de Carvalho , Quintana Silvana Maria
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is a sexually transmitted bacterium that is highly prevalent in young patients. Chlamydial infections during the gestational period have been associated with adverse obstetric outcomes, such as spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). However, results in the literature are inconclusive. Objective: To evaluate the association between CT infection and sPTB. Methods: This was a case-control study nested in the cohort of the prospective Brazilian Ribeirão Preto and São Luís birth cohort study. Pregnant patients were recruited in private and public health clinics in São Luís and Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. At the gestational age of 20-25 weeks, cervicovaginal fluid samples were collected for the diagnosis of CT using a polymerase chain reaction. Plasma levels of Transforming Growth Factor-α (TGF- α), Interferon-γ (IFN- γ), Interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-13, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF- α), and TNF-β were measured using a multiplex assay. Results: Of the 561 pregnant patients evaluated, 121 had sPTB and 440 had a full-term delivery (control group). According to our results, CT infection was not associated with sPTB (odds ratio, 1.13; 95% confidence interval, 0.50–2.56); however, it was more frequent among younger patients (p=0.0078), unmarried patients (p=0.0144), and those with multiple sexual partners (p=0.0299). There were no significant differences in the immune mediators between patients with sPTB or full-term deliveries, or between patients with or without a CT infection. Conclusion: In conclusion, CT infection was not associated with sPTB in our study. However, its correlation with younger pregnant patients suggests that these patients require careful clinical management.

Aims & Objective. To assess the incidence and rate of implant removal among orthopedic patients, its indications, and the effect of COVID-19 pandemic. Material & Method: A retrospective study was done during the period from October 2017 to October 2020 included all patients admitted for removal of orthopedic implants. Results: One-hundred eleven patients with a mean age of 28 ± 10.9 years were included in this study. Most (83.8%) were males. The incidence rate of removal was 20.2%. The mean period between implant fixation and removal was 26 ± 20 months. Lower limb fractures constituted 85.6% of cases with about half of them as foot and ankle fractures. The most frequently presented fractures were femur and tibia (33.3% and 21.6%, respectively), while the most frequently removed implants were plate and screws (43.2%). Only 8.9% of surgeries were indicated for removal, and only 4.5% of all patients suffered post-removal complications. Conclusion: Non indicated implant removal occurs at a significantly high rate in Saudi Arabia. No real indications for such a procedure were found in the majority of patients. COVID-19 control strategies caused a significant decrease in this high rate. Keywords: COVID19; Orthopedics; Incidence Rate; Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Bone Pins

Este estudio explora los patrones de comportamiento en redes sociales por parte de estudiantes de secundaria. Se estudian los riesgos y lo nocivo de las redes sociales, asi como aquellas acciones que pueden tomarse en la escuela para evitar su prohibicion y educar para un uso adecuado. El estudio reconoce que las redes sociales son un elemento importante en la vida cotidiana de los jovenes y enfatiza que los profesionales de la educacion se han aproximado a las nuevas tecnologias desde los mismos paradigmas teoricos. La realidad virtual cuenta con su propia ontologia y los jovenes han crecido en una sociedad muy diferente a la de sus padres. En este trabajo partimos de esos principios para poder generar nuevos patrones socioculturales sanos y armonicos.

Published: November 2021

Esse artigo apresenta um estudo que mostra que os modelos matemáticos podem ser úteis para desenvolvimento da função polinomial do 1º grau levando em consideração problemas de atividades presentes no cotidiano do aluno ribeirinho como a prática da pesca artesanal, o extrativismo ou outras situações que o aluno conhece na comunidade em que vive. São abordados dois problemas relacionados com o modelo matemáticos a serem resolvidos com o uso desse tema, a saber um relacionado com a prática da pesca artesanal e um outro sobre o extrativismo do fruto de açaí. Acredita-se que a escolha dos problemas pode tornar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem muito mais eficaz para o aluno, pois ao fazer essa metodologia de ensino, o professor cria um elo entre o conteúdo ministrado e aplicação com problemas que o aluno ribeirinho já possui conhecimento. Aborda-se ainda uma breve fundamentação da função polinomial do 1º grau, além do contexto da prática da pesca artesanal e abordagem da importância de modelos matemáticos. Para consolidar o estudo e mostrar a possibilidade de construção de modelos matemáticos referente ao tema supracitado, realiza-se na comunidade Nossa senhora do Livramento localizada na Ilha Tabatinga, pertencente ao Município de Abaetetuba-PA, uma pesquisa de campo com dois pescadores da localidade que vivem da pesca artesanal e que tem filhos que frequentam a escola ribeirinha. Os dados foram obtidos a partir da aplicação de questionários, com perguntas abertas, em relação ao trabalho que exercem com despesas, gastos e lucros que são obtidos com a atividade pesqueira. Aplicam-se os modelos matemáticos associando a função polinomial do 1º grau com base nos valores gastos e lucros adquiridos com a venda do pescado. Conclui-se a pesquisa considerando ser possível utilizar o modelo matemático para equaciona gastos e lucros dos sujeitos da pesquisa com a atividade que praticam, auxiliando os pescadores na atividade pesqueira e, sobretudo, ser usado no estudo da função polinomial do 1º grau com metodologia que esteja ligada a problemas cotidianos, proporcionando ao aluno ribeirinho um processo de ensino que o motive com conteúdo de matemático ligado ao seu modo de vida.

A técnica de transferência de embrião possibilita a evolução no desenvolvimento do setor no mercado equino através do aumento da eficiência reprodutiva e no progresso do melhoramento genético das raças e seus cruzamentos, sendo uma importante biotécnica que permite a potencialização genética dos animais, aumentando o número de produtos obtidos por égua ao ano. O objetivo deste estudo foi observar a quantidade de embriões coletados e o número de prenhezes confirmadas aplicando-se a técnica de transferência de embrião no município de Mojuí dos Campos, na mesorregião do Baixo Amazonas, Pará. Para isto, foram utilizadas 5 éguas doadoras e 25 éguas receptoras para se coletar embriões, durante o período de um ano. Os animais foram acompanhados por meio de um aparelho ultrassonográfico por via transretal, obtendo informações do crescimento folicular e tônus do útero. Os folículos foram medidos individualmente para o controle de sincronização entre doadora e receptoras. Como resultado, foram coletados 10 embriões, sendo as doadoras D2 e D4 as com maior número de coletas, especificamente, quatro e três coletas. Os embriões coletados foram transferidos para as receptoras, totalizando 10 transferências de embriões. Destas, 80% apresentaram prenhez positiva aos 15 dias e mantiveram esse resultado por ocasião da confirmação da gestação, aos 25 dias, levando a prenhez até o nascimento do potro.

The main value of both the national economy and the global community is the human being. Therefore, the strategy of sustainable development is focused on the primary factors that ensure human development and the realization of man's divine inalienable right to a full life. The central link in the realization of this right is the organization of the system of medical care, primarily for mothers and children. Perinatal care determines the level of socio-economic development of the country in the global environment and is determined by the perspective of the modern international economy in terms of acceptability of generations, determines the level of competitiveness of national production and its final consumption. The conducted research characterized the goals and objectives of the WHO to implement the strategy of sustainable development, namely that every woman, every child, and adolescent anywhere in the world could realize the right to health. This goal national governments must achieve by the end of 2050. Therefore, from the perspective of this concept, an assessment of perinatal health care was carried out.
Contribuições locais para consecução dos objetivos da Agenda de 2030:experiências de uma Universidade Comunitária
Authors: Gianezini Miguelangelo , Elias Zanoni dos Santos
Published: November 2021

The 2030 Agenda is an ambitious plan of action that includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets for building a better society. Many are the agents and organizations that can contribute to the achievement of such goals, and universities have great potential for this. In this study, we sought to identify the experiences of a Community Institution of Higher Education (ICES) in southern Brazil, investigating which SDGs they contribute to, what are their influences on the achievement of the 2030 Agenda, and through which projects they work. To this end, a documental study was conducted with data collected in May 2021 from documents and reports of the institution itself, comparing them with the Agenda. As a result, more than one hundred social, environmental, and cultural programs and projects were identified. It was possible to identify all the 17 SDGs represented through them. The program with the greatest influence on the community was the Integrated Health Clinics program. The study corroborates the proposal of the HEIs, which by their community nature have a greater propensity to impact on localities in which they are inserted.
Shocking Intimacy: Techniques, Technologies, and Aesthetics of Amplification in Clara Iannotta’s “Intent on Resurrection”
Authors: Accornero Giulia
Published: November 2021

“Certain sounds, even when they are loud or heard from close by, conjure small sources.” Small sounds, as Chion (2016) describes them in this quote, usually appear in intimate or contained settings, where their relatively low strength will not be spoiled by the masking effects of a noisy public sphere. What happens, however, when they are shared with an audience in a concert venue? Privileging a distributive understanding of agency, I explore the interactions of instruments, techniques, and processes through which the composer Clara Iannotta (b. 1983) brings small sounds to the public space of the concert hall in the first minute of her composition Intent on Resurrection – Spring or Some Such Thing (2014). By articulating the technological means harnessed to allow for the qualities of small sounds to emerge, I reveal the conditions that are required for sound to be recognized and experienced as intimate. Along the way, I draw connections between the amplification aesthetics of Iannotta’s work and Hyperrealist art, and theorize the concept of the “grain of the instrument” drawing on ideas from Roland Barthes, Pierre Schaeffer, and Brian Kane.

Published: November 2021

Currently it is noted in Angola that there has been a considerable reduction and degradation of forest both in Miombo and in other native forest formations in the country. The record of high rates of deforestation has led the researchers to compare the forest changes cover in Cuima communes in a comparative way. (municipality of Caála) and Chipeio (municipality of Ecunha), both belonging to the province of Huambo, between 2009 and 2019, based on remote sensing data from Global Forest Watch. The two study zones, which both fall within the agricultural region 24 of the country, were the blocks subjected to vegetation dynamics analysis on the Global Forest Watch platform. In this stage, the following variables were analyzed: annual forest area, loss of annual forest area and gain of annual forest area of ​​each commune. Geospatial data were also obtained from the Maplibrary, Earth Explorer and Copernicus Open Access Hub servers. The results point to a reduction of 12.7% in the forest area of ​​the municipality of Cuima and 6.6% in Chipeio, between 2009 and 2019. There was also evidence of a low rate of gain in forest area and a high rate of loss of forest cover; for this reason, if there are no interventions, it is expected to see a reduction in the period 2009 and 2030 from 60.5% to 39.2% in the municipality of Cuima and from 88.1 to 74% in Chipeio. The adoption and promotion of alternative sources of family income are identified as the means of sustaining the studied forest resources.

Application of Asset Management in the Management of Irrigation Areas in the Salaman Technical Implementation Unit
Authors: Doan Juniarda
Published: November 2021

One of the main factors for supporting development in the agricultural sector is the irrigation infrastructure management. Infrastructure is essential because it is a basic prerequisite for development and growth and requires very large costs. Therefore, the infrastructure must be managed properly according to Asset Management principles. This study aims to implement asset management in the management of Irrigation Area in the Salaman Technical Implementation Unit (UPT). The irrigation assets in question are the physical infrastructure of irrigation networks. This study requires an inventory of data on irrigation network which is used as input in analyzing the performance appraisal of irrigation assets. The assessment of the Irrigation Area Performance index is carried out through the weighting of each component according to the technical instructions set by the government. While the evaluation is carried out by determining priorities and types of handling irrigation areas through ranking and classification of aset condition index value. The evaluation show that 3 (three) Irrigation Areas get a condition index value of ≤ 60 (poor). The three irrigation areas are MA Depok, DI Pakem I, and MA Mudal. MA Depok is an irrigation area that is the first priority for treatment in the form of rehabilitation.

Research into the benthic diatoms in the Bunica River was performed during the period from 5th May 2013 to 9th January 2014 on three different sites, from the headwaters to the mouth. The Bunica River is located in the south-eastern part of the Mostar valley, in the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this research was to test the use of benthic diatoms as indicators and the use of diatom indices as a tool for estimating water quality in an example of a small karstic river. For that purpose, diatom indices were calculated using OMNIDIA GB 5.3 software. This was the first testing of diatom indices for a small karstic river. Diatom indices showed different results and huge variations between sites on the Bunica River. According to the results, the indices in the OMNIDIA software are not applicable for karstic rivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina and they must be modified for this purpose. This paper can be the first step towards calibration indices for karstic region. Also, it can be useful for the development of biomonitoring tool for karstic rivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Статтю присвячено розгляду питання популяризації бібліотеки, необхідності донести інформацію про її послуги так, щоб у користувачів виникло бажання дізнатися про неї докладніше. Сучасні методи популяризації бібліотеки – це реклама, формування іміджу бібліотек. В основі формування іміджу бібліотеки – фірмовий стиль, який є важливим елементом бібліотечно-інформаційної установи.

Hydrofoils with Differing Leading-Edge Protuberances: CFD and Experimental Investigations
Authors: Kant R , Bhattacharyya A
Published: November 2021

Leading-edge protuberances on the pectoral fin of humpback whales have been widely adopted to the designs of foils to provide superior lifting characteristics in the post-stall regimes. The present work investigates the lift, drag and flow characteristics of finite-span rectangular hydrofoils having different configurations of two protuberances over the leading edge with NACA 634-021 as the base design section. The results obtained from CFD analyses are validated using lift and drag measurements from experiments. The influence of using a transition-sensitive turbulence model on the results is investigated. It is observed that, in general, a foil with smaller separation between protuberances has better post-stall lift characteristics whereas that with protuberances at larger separation have better pre-stall characteristics. Depending on the separation between them, streamwise vortices are generated from the leading-edge protuberances. The two protuberances can restrict the zone of separation between them at high angles of attack. The influence of Reynolds number on the lifting performance is also investigated.

Authors: Elkafas A G , Shouman M R
Published: November 2021

Greenhouse gases and other emissions from vessels and related activities in maritime trade have caused significant environmental impacts especially global warming of the atmosphere. Consequently, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) concern significant care to the reduction of ship emissions and improvement of energy efficiency through operational and technical measures. The proposed short-term measure is ship speed reduction in which the ship speed is reduced below its designed value. Therefore, the present paper aims at evaluating the potential energy efficiency and environmental benefits from using speed reduction measure through energy efficiency design index (EEDI), energy efficiency operational indicator (EEOI) and ship emissions calculation models as recommended from IMO. As a case study, a medium sized Container Ship is investigated. The results show that, reducing ship speed by 12.6% will reduce CO2 emissions by about 36%. Moreover, the attained EEDI value will be improved by 31.7% and comply with not only the current IMO requirements but also with the future ones. Additionally, reducing ship speed by 12.6% will reduce EEOI value from its value at design speed by 26.5%. Furthermore, it is noticed that SOx emission will comply with IMO 2020 limit if ship speed is reduced by 6.8% and above.

The study analyzed the heat transfer of water-based carbon nanotubes in non-coaxial rotation flow affected by magnetohydrodynamics and porosity. Two types of CNTs have been considered; single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Partial differential equations are used to model the problem subjected to the initial and moving boundary conditions. Employing dimensionless variables transformed the system of equations into ordinary differential equations form. The resulting dimensionless equations are analytically solved for the closed form of temperature and velocity distributions. The obtained solutions are expressed in terms of a complementary function error. The impacts of the embedded parameters are graphically plotted in different graphs and are discussed in detail. The Nusselt number and skin friction are also evaluated. The temperature and velocity profiles have been determined to meet the initial and boundary conditions. An augment in the CNTs’ volume fraction increases both temperature and velocity of the nanofluid as well as enhances the rate of heat transport. SWCNTs provides high values of Nusselt number compared to MWCNTs. For verification, a comparison between the present solutions and a past study is conducted and achieved excellent agreement.

Pyrolysis: A Convenient Route for Production of Eco-Friendly Fuels and Precursors for Chemical and Allied Industries
Authors: Mosebolatan Jabar Jamiu
Published: November 2021

Thermochemical decomposition of post harvest agro-wastes (biomass) to solid carbonaceous material called as bio-char, condensable vapors (bio-oils and bio-tars) and non-condensable vapors (bio-gas or syn-gas) is referred as pyrolysis. The yield of these products from biomass pyrolysis depends on temperature and other conditions (such as vapor retention time and heating rate) of thermal decomposition in air or oxygen excluded reactor. Bio-char is often used as adsorbent in treatment of water contaminated with dye effluent from textile industry and/or emerging contaminants from other industries. It is also used in production of supercapacitor for energy storage, fertilizer composite and soil amendment for slow release of nutrients for plants and stabilizing pH, enhances water holding and ion exchange capacity of soil. Bio-oils are used for transportation fuels, soaps and other cosmetics production. Bio-tars are also used for transportation fuels but with high heating values and also as organic solvents in chemical, biological and biochemical laboratories. Non-condensable vapors are mostly used as bio-fuels. Products of biomass pyrolysis are potential alternative eco-friendly precursors for chemical and allied industries.

Chalcogenides-based thin film solar cells are great competitors to beat high efficiencies as silicone solar cells. The chalcogenides that have been commonly used as absorber materials are CIS, CIGS, and CZTS. They present some advantages of having a direct and tunable band gap, high absorption coefficient and respectable efficiency to cost ratio. Solution processable deposition approaches for the fabrication of solar cells attracts a great deal attention due to its lower capital cost of the manufacturing than the vacuum-based techniques. In this chapter, we detail the use of a low-cost method of deposition for the chalcogenide thin films by spin-coating and spray-coating, which is already widely employed in several fields of industries.

The increase in World Trade has led to significant growth in world GDP over last 100 years particularly. Supply chains have become the major enablers of world trade and the world is connected through supply chains. Any disruptions in any part of the world has led to disruptions in supply chains and economic recessions. Crisis like Tsunamis, earthquakes, 911 terror attacks, epidemics/pandemics like COVID-19 etc. have affected the businesses worldwide. COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated economic crisis due to disruption of supply chains and suppressed demand for many products and services worldwide. International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected global economic growth to be negative 4.9%. This economic crisis has resulted in substantial erosion of market capitalization across the globe. The impact of COVID-19 is very significant on both health of the people and economy worldwide. Almost all businesses and governments are trying its best to save people from health and economic crisis. This requires rebuilding of supply chains through appropriate configuration with reliable sources of supply, collaboration, manufacturing and distribution of goods and services. Sectors like essential items, pharmaceutical, e-commerce have started early recovery of economy. However, other sectors require suitable interventions from government, business organizations in their policies and practices and use of digital technologies for economic recovery.

The cytochromes P450 (CYPs) are a group of enzymes that are primarily responsible for oxidative drug biotransformation in people. CYP2B6, which metabolizes numerous drugs including bupropion, propofol and other drug shows great variability in rates of drug oxidation between individuals. In this chapter we discuss the contribution of selected genetic and environmental factors to this variability. Several studies identified and quantified the most common CYP2B6 mRNA splice such as deletion of exons 4 to 6 and of exon 4 which were significantly and negatively correlated with CYP2B6 protein and enzyme activity. CYP2B6 gene expression is highly inducible by phenobarbital. Alcohol ingestion has been associated with increased CYP2B6 levels this involves the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and/or the pregnane X receptor (PXR). CYP2B7 is considered a pseudogene because of the presence of a single premature stop codon (TGA) in exon 7. In 10 out of 24 African-Americans (but none out of 48 European-Americans) there is a single nucleotide polymorphism that results in an arginine codon instead of a stop codon (X378R). The results of these studies identify certain CYP2B6 genetic polymorphisms, mRNA splicing variants, and alcohol ingestion as significant factors that determine interindividual variability of CYP2B-mediated oxidation of drugs in people.

: The neural tissue engineering has been designed as a subset of tissue engineering for treating congenital malformations and accident injuries, particularly for individuals requiring tissue grafting. Such transplants, usually performed as autografting, can often not meet the requirements of an effective scaffold used in nerve tissue engineering. A novel neural tissue scaffold was introduced here to solve the problem concerning the reduced graphene oxide. The three-dimensional graphene oxide in the neural canal restricts the formation of fibroglandular tissues and facilities neural stem cell proliferation and growth. In these techniques, graphene oxide aerogel was initially made. Then, the freeze-drying process was used to fix the geometry of reduced graphene oxide hydrogels prepared using graphene oxide dispersion and ethylenediamine and gain aerogels. The X-ray diffraction patterns, FTIR and morphological related to samples were examined, followed by conducting in-vitro micropropagation and 4, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindol (DAPI) staining in fibroblast and P19 cultures. The results from immunofluorescence staining demonstrated the neural differentiation of P19 cells. It can be concluded that most cells attached to and differentiated on the scaffold surface and axons can penetrate randomly through them. Finally, the three-dimensional graphene oxide was proposed as an ideal alternative to be used in neural tissue engineering.

Published: November 2021

Os manguezais se configuram em um dos ecossistemas mais produtivos do planeta, entretanto eles vêm sofrendo progressivas alterações ambientais, devido às pressões antrópicas. Informações sobre o comportamento fenológico podem ser utilizadas como instrumento na construção de projetos de conservação de recursos naturais. O presente estudo foi realizado em quatro áreas estuarinas em Acaraú, Ceará, objetivando analisar o comportamento fenológico dos componentes reprodutivos de três espécies de mangue em diferentes áreas sujeitas a diferentes tipos de impactos ambientais (resíduos sólidos, desmatamento e efluentes da carcinicultura) e uma área de baixo impacto no período de um ano. A fim de se caracterizar os padrões fenológicos foi realizada observação direta, registrando-se a presença e a intensidade da floração e frutificação. Dois métodos de análise foram aplicados para entender os padrões de floração e frutificação: percentual de intensidade de Fournier e o índice de atividade. As florações de Avicennia spp. e Rhizophora mangle L, em condições naturais, ocorrem o ano todo, e nas áreas impactadas mostraram padrões irregulares. Quanto à frutificação, Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C. F. Gaertn foi a espécie que apresentou os mais altos percentuais para os dois índices fenológicos analisados. A pluviosidade e a salinidade parecem exercer maior força seletiva quando as espécies estão sujeitas a algum tipo de impacto antrópico. A análise comparativa dos diferentes métodos de avaliação fenológicos realizados neste estudo indicou que estes fornecem dados distintos e complementares sobre o comportamento reprodutivo vegetal e de como os impactos a que estes ambientes estão sujeitos pode estar interferindo negativamente sobre a flora deste ecossistema.

Authors: Oh Yong-Sung
Published: November 2021

Chestnut fruit shell and ground coffee waste were evaluated as filler raw materials for plywood adhesive. A phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin was formulated in the laboratory for plywood manufacture. Specification characteristics were determined on the PF resin, including nonvolatile solids, gel time, viscosity, etc. The laboratory synthesized PF resin was mixed with extender, filler and NaOH. Plywoods were uniformly made with the PF resin mixture and tested for tension shear strength after aging method, modulus of rupture (MOR) and thickness swell according to the procedures of the Korean Standard KS F 3101 and KS F 3114. All plywood made with each filler type showed good physical and mechanical strength properties. The performance test results indicated that the chestnut fruit shell and ground coffee waste would be suitable as filler for plywood adhesive.
