Authors: Da Costa Nayara Barreto , Lopes Júnior José Marcelo , Barros da Silva Fernando , Das Chagas Melo Laura
Published: July 2021

O presente trabalho objetiva-se investigar os impasses e as perspectivas do ensino e das aulas de Geografia na modalidade híbrida de ensino no cenário pandêmico atual. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica relacionada aos desafios de empregar o saber cientifico nas aulas remotas e as dificuldades relativas ao ensino híbrido em tempos de pandemia, assim como para complementar o estudo de caso no qual foram avaliados pontos relativos ao ensino supracitado nas aulas de Geografia no período de fevereiro a março de 2021 numa escola privada de ensino básico. Os dados referentes ao estudo de caso foram descritos na forma de relato de experiência. A condução eficiente do ensino de Geografia sempre apresentou dificuldades, e nas análises feitas durante as aulas dessa ciência destacam-se a falta de recursos suficientes para se trabalhar a ciência geográfica nas turmas do ensino fundamental, além da dificuldade de acompanhar os estudantes que assistiam as aulas de forma remota, principalmente na articulação das atividades que eram aplicadas. Todavia, o cenário atual é sugestivo à ciência geográfica, o que foi possível visualizar, sobretudo, nas aulas ministradas na turma do 9° ano, a qual teve participação ativa nas discussões orientadas pela professora, por meio da ministração do conteúdo acerca da Globalização e as suas interpretações. Considera-se que apesar das inúmeras dificuldades enfrentadas nas aulas de Geografia na forma híbrida de ensino no presente cenário, este possibilitou a sua problematização, contribuindo para o conhecimento crítico e reflexivo acerca do meio por parte dos estudantes.

Authors:   ,   Durban University of Technology, Dlomo Kaite Nokuthula
Published: July 2021

Objective: To determine the food safety and hygiene practices of the food handlers at secondary school tuck shops in Umlazi, Durban, South Africa in order to assess the risk of exposure to harmful bacteria that may cause food poisoning by conducting knowledge questionnaires and microbial tests from food handlers’ hands, counter surfaces and kitchen cloths. Research Methods: A total of 18 secondary schools, 48 food handlers and 24 managers were included in the study. The observational, descriptive and analytical study consisted of quantitative data collection methods. Quantitative data was obtained through a food hygiene and safety questionnaire designed for food handlers and tuck shop owners/managers, an observational checklist and microbial swab tests from food handlers’ hands, counter surfaces and kitchen cloths for analysis of microbial presence before preparation, during preparation and after preparation of food. The microbes tested for were Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogene, Aerobic spore formers and anaerobic spore formers. Data was captured in Excel and analyzed using a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 24 for descriptive statistics

Published: July 2021

Objectives: In this study we observed that the effect of post-Norwood 3.5 mm modified BTS(mBTS and 5 mm right ventricle to pulmonary (Sano modification) shunt models on clinical outcomes.

Patients and Methods: 54 patients who were operated in our hospital between 2011and 2020 years, were included in our study and this is a retrospective, observational, single-center case series study.

Results: The effect of shunt type on mortality was statistically significant, and the rate of death was lower in patients who used SANO type shunts. (p <0.05) The effect of VISC score on early mortality was significant, and VISC score was higher in the group with exitus. (p <0.05).

Conclusion: Although Sano shunt seems more preferred in Norwood, the experience of the surgeon and the center's experience may have led to variation in results at HLHS. Nevertheless, it will be clinically important for studies to evaluate the long-term results between the two shunt types.

Abstract. For the first time, vertically resolved long-term lidar measurements of the aerosol distribution were taken in Haifa, Israel. The measurements were performed by a PollyXT multi-wavelength Raman and polarization lidar. The lidar was measuring continuously over a 2-year period from March 2017 to May 2019. The resulting data set is a series of manually evaluated lidar optical property profiles. To identify the aerosol types in the observed layers, a novel aerosol typing method developed at TROPOS is used. This method applies optimal estimation to a combination of the lidar-derived intensive aerosol properties to determine the statistically most-likely contribution per aerosol component in terms of relative volume. A case study that shows several elevated aerosol layers illustrates this method and shows e.g. that coarse dust particles are observed up to 5 km height over Israel. From the whole data set, the seasonal distribution of the observed aerosol components over Israel is derived. Throughout all seasons, and with the highest contributions in summer, autumn, and winter, coarse spherical particles like sea salt, due to the coastal site, but also hygroscopic grown continental aerosol that was transported over the Mediterranean Sea was observed. During spring, coarse non-spherical particles attributed to desert dust were the mostly observed particles. This is consistent with the distinct dust season in Spring in Israel. An automated time-height-resolved air mass source attribution method identifies the dust sources in the Saharan and the Arabian deserts. Fine mode spherical particles also contribute significantly to the observed aerosol mixture during the most seasons. These particles originate mainly from the industrial region at the bay of Haifa.
Biomass burning plume chemistry: OH radical initiated oxidation of 3-penten-2-one and its main oxidation product 2-hydroxypropanal
Authors: Illmann Niklas , Patroescu-Klotz Iulia , Wiesen Peter
Published: July 2021

Abstract. In order to enlarge our understanding of biomass burning plume chemistry, the OH radical initiated oxidation of 3-penten-2-one (3P2), identified in biomass burning emissions, and 2-hydroxypropanal (2HPr) were investigated at 298 ± 3 K and 990 ± 15 mbar in two atmospheric simulation chambers using long-path FTIR spectroscopy. The rate coefficient of 3P2 + OH was determined to be (6.2 ± 1.0) × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 and the molar first-generation yields for acetaldehyde, methyl glyoxal, 2HPr and the sum of PAN and CO2, used to determine the CH3C(O) radical yield, were 0.39 ± 0.07, 0.32 ± 0.08, 0.68 ± 0.27, and 0.56 ± 0.14, respectively, under conditions where the 3P2 derived peroxy radicals react solely with NO. The 2HPr + OH reaction was investigated using 3P2 + OH as a source of the α-hydroxyaldehyde adjusting the experimental conditions to shift the reaction system towards secondary oxidation processes. The rate coefficient was estimated to be (2.2 ± 0.6) × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. Employing an Euler-Cauchy model to describe the temporal behaviour of the experiments, the further oxidation of 2HPr was shown to form methyl glyoxal, acetaldehyde and CO2 with estimated yields of 0.21 ± 0.05, 0.79 ± 0.05, and 0.79 ± 0.05, respectively.
Support vector machine tropical wind speed retrieval in the presence of rain for Ku-band wind scatterometry
Authors: Xu Xingou , Stoffelen Ad
Published: July 2021

Abstract. Wind retrieval parameters, i.e., quality indicators and the 2DVAR analysis speeds, are explored with the aim to improve wind speed retrieval during rain for tropical regions. We apply the well-researched support vector machine (SVM) method in machine learning (ML) to solve this complex problem in a data-orientated regression. To guarantee the effectiveness of SVM, the inputs are extensively analysed to evaluate their appropriateness for this problem, before the results are produced. Subsequently, triple collocation shows that the similarity of the resolved Ku-band (OSCAT-2) wind speed in rain is better than the 2DVAR speed, with respect to the collocated C-band (ASCAT) speed, which is much less affected by rain. The comparisons between distributions and differences between data of rain-contaminated winds, corrected winds and good quality C-band winds, illustrate that the rain-distorted wind distributions become more nominal with SVM, hence eliminating rain-induced biases and error variance. Further confirmation is obtained from a case with synchronous Himawari-8 observation indicating rain (clouds) in the scene. Furthermore, the determination of simultaneous rain rate is attempted to retrieve both wind and rain. Although, additional observations or higher resolution may be required to better assess the accuracy of the wind and rain retrievals, the Machine Learning (ML) results demonstrate benefits of such methodology in geophysical retrieval and nowcasting applications.
Calculating the vertical column density of O4 from surface values of pressure, temperature and relative humidity
Authors: Beirle Steffen , Borger Christian , Dörner Steffen , Kumar Vinod , Wagner Thomas
Published: July 2021

Abstract. We present a formalism that relates the vertical column density (VCD) of the oxygen collision complex O2-O2 (denoted as O4 below) to surface (2 m) values of temperature and pressure, based on physical laws. In addition, we propose an empirical modification which also accounts for surface relative humidity (RH). This allows for simple and quick calculation of the O4 VCD without the need for constructing full vertical profiles. The parameterization reproduces the real O4 VCD, as derived from vertically integrated profiles, within −0.9 % ± 1.0 % for WRF simulations around Germany, 0.1 % ± 1.2 % for global reanalysis data (ERA5), and −0.4 % ± 1.4 % for GRUAN radiosonde measurements around the world. When applied to measured surface values, uncertainties of 1 K, 1 hPa, and 16 % for temperature, pressure, and RH correspond to relative uncertainties of the O4 VCD of 0.3 %, 0.2 %, and 1 %, respectively. The proposed parameterization thus provides a simple and accurate formula for the calculation of the O4 VCD which is expected to be useful in particular for MAX-DOAS applications.

Abstract. The uptake of carbonyl sulfide (COS) by terrestrial plants is linked to photosynthetic uptake of CO2 by a shared diffusion pathway. Applying COS as a photosynthesis tracer in models requires an accurate representation of biosphere COS fluxes, but these models have not been extensively evaluated against field observations of COS fluxes. In this paper, the COS flux as simulated by the Simple Biosphere Model, version 4 (SiB4) is updated with the latest mechanistic insights and evaluated with site observations from different biomes: one evergreen needleleaf forest, two deciduous broadleaf forests, three grasslands, and two crop fields spread over Europe and North America. To account for the effect of atmospheric COS mole fractions on COS biosphere uptake, we replaced the fixed COS mole fraction originally used in SiB4 with spatially and temporally varying COS mole fraction fields. The lower COS mole fractions in the late growing season reduces COS uptake rates in agreement with observations. We also replaced the empirical soil COS uptake model in SiB4 with a mechanistic model that represents both uptake and production of COS in soils, which improves the match with observations over agricultural fields and fertilized grassland soils. SiB4 was capable of simulating the diurnal and seasonal variation of COS fluxes in the boreal, temperate and Mediterranean region. The daytime vegetation COS flux is on average 8 ± 27 % underestimated, albeit with large variability across sites. On a global scale, our model modifications caused a drop in the COS biosphere sink from 922 Gg S yr−1 in the original SiB4 model to 753 Gg S yr−1 in the updated version. The largest drop in fluxes was driven by lower atmospheric COS mole fractions over regions with high productivity, which highlights the importance of accounting for variations in atmospheric COS mole fractions. The change to a different soil model, on the other hand, had a relatively small effect on the global biosphere COS sink. The small role of the modeled soil component in the COS budget supports the use of COS as a global photosynthesis tracer.

Abstract. The Paris Agreement has underlined the role of cities in combating climate change. The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM) is
the largest international initiative dedicated to promoting climate action at a city level, covering globally over 10 000 cities and almost half the
population of the European Union (EU) by end of March 2020. The fifth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report notes that there is a
lack of comprehensive, consistent datasets of cities' greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventories. In order to partly address this gap, we present a
harmonised, complete and verified dataset of GHG inventories for 6200 cities in European and Southern Mediterranean countries, signatories of the
GCoM initiative. To complement the reported emission data, a set of ancillary data that have a direct or indirect potential impact on cities'
climate action plans were collected from other datasets, supporting further research on local climate action and monitoring the EU 27 (the 27 member states of the EU) progress on
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 on climate action. The dataset (Kona et al., 2020) is archived and publicly available with the DOI https://doi.org/10.2905/57A615EB-CFBC-435A-A8C5-553BD40F76C9.
Water masses distribution offshore the Sabrina Coast (East Antarctica)
Authors: Bensi Manuel , Kovačević Vedrana , Donda Federica , O'Brien Philip E. , Armbrecht Linda , Armand Leanne
Published: July 2021

Abstract. Current glacier melt rates in West Antarctica substantially exceed those around the East Antarctic margin. The exception is Wilkes Land where, e.g., Totten Glacier, underwent significant retreat between 2000 and 2012, underlining its sensitivity to climate change. This process is strongly influenced by ocean dynamics, which in turn changes in accordance with the evolution of the ice caps. Here, we present oceanographic data (temperature, salinity, density, dissolved oxygen) collected for the first time offshore the Sabrina Coast (East Antarctica), from the continental shelf break to ca 3000 m depth during austral summer 2017. The main water masses are identified by analysing thermohaline properties: the Antarctic Surface Water with θ > −1. 5 °C and S < 34.2 (σθ < 27.55 kg m−3), the Winter Water with −1.92 < θ < −1.75 °C and 34.0 < S < 34.5 (27.55 < σθ < 27.7 kg m−3), the modified Circumpolar Deep Water with θ > 0 °C and S > 34.5 (σθ > 27.7 kg m−3), and Antarctic Bottom Water with −0.50 < θ < 0 °C and 34.63 < S < 34.67 (27.83 < σθ < 27.85). The latter in this region is a mixture of dense waters originating from the Ross Sea and Adélie Land continental shelves, and is affected by the mixing process they undergo as they move westward along the Antarctic margin and interact with the locally formed dense waters, and with the warmer and saltier Circumpolar Deep Water. The spatial distribution of water masses offshore the Sabrina Coast also appears to be strongly linked with the complex morpho-bathymetry of the slope and rise area, supporting the hypothesis that downslope processes contribute to shaping the architecture of the distal portion of the continental margin.
‘A constant reminder of what we had to forfeit’
Authors: Össbo Åsa
Published: July 2021

This article examines the intergenerational effects of hydropower expansion on Sámi living conditions. In-depth conversations were conducted with five research participants from three different generations living in a hydropower impacted area on the Swedish side of Sápmi. The aim is to analyse how natural resource extraction has affected living conditions for the Indigenous Sámi people, using an intergenerational approach. The questions cover how to deal with the consequences and how coping strategies have affected the living conditions for the research participants and the participants’ families: older and younger generations. Historical unresolved grief connected to large-scale resource extraction is an important component for understanding experiences of colonialism in a Nordic Indigenous context. Furthermore, an intergenerational approach is essential for studying long-term impacts on Indigenous communities. From the conversations, four main themes are crystallized: bereavement, fear and worries, agreements with the energy company, and reconciliation and strategies for the future.
(Not) Forgotten
Authors: Ornelas E.
Published: July 2021

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Franklin/Hiawatha encampment was established in the summer of 2018 only to be forcibly terminated during the winter of 2019, then revived again in 2020. Also called the “Wall of Forgotten Natives” by its inhabitants, this cluster of tents was comprised of houseless residents of the Twin Cities, many of whom were Native American. Recognizing the continued murder, dispossession, removal, forced assimilation, under-resourcing, and invisibility of Indigenous peoples, the moniker “Wall of Forgotten Natives” seems apt. Considering Agamben’s idea of the camp as a space of exclusion that is included within the purview of law, this essay argues that the camp is also a designation of what is forgotten, or what is excluded from settler memory, yet paradoxically included within the settler prerogative of elimination.
Māori perspectives on alcohol

Published: July 2021

ABSTRACTAimMāori suffer disproportionately from alcohol-related harm in Aotearoa New Zealand. With the view toward informing potential alcohol interventions for Māori, this study synthesises studies on alcohol and alcohol-related harm. MethodsUsing a Māori-centered approach, a narrative review of qualitative studies of Māori perspectives on alcohol was conducted. Journal databases, repositories, and websites were searched for relevant studies published since 2000. A thematic analysis was conducted and emergent themes were synthesised. ResultsEight studies were identified for inclusion. Whanaungatanga was identified as a contributor to alcohol use in included studies. Other motivations were ‘fitting in’, escape from stress, achieving ‘the buzz’, and coping with historical trauma. Among included literature, a strong cultural identity was a deterrent to alcohol overuse. Māori voiced a desire to be involved with local alcohol policy decisions. ConclusionAlthough Māori are a high-priority group, there remains a substantial gap in research on Māori perspectives toward alcohol interventions which is reflective of an underinvestment in Kaupapa Māori research. Future interventions for Māori may be more effective if these interventions focus on enhancing whanaungatanga without the presence of alcohol, consider the variable motivations for drinking, and utilise culturally appropriate methods to encourage reduced harm from alcohol use.
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the management of blood supply and demand in Turkey
Authors: Tezcan Büşra
Published: July 2021

INTRODUCTION: Coronovirus disease(COVID-19)rapidly spread worldwide after its first report in December 2019,in China.This spread drastically reduced the number of blood donations,thereby creating a shortage at blood banks in the whole world.Turkish Red Crescent(TRC) is the only legal authority that organizes collection,production,storage and distribution of blood and blood components in Turkey.Only in case of emergencyTRC gives permanent permission to hospitals;for collecting blood and producing its components through their own transfusion centers.This report describes how theCOVID-19 impacted blood supplies ofTRC and hospital demands in Turkey with an aim to improve the management of blood supply and demand during theCOVID-19 and future pandemics. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of nine months;from November 1,2019 to July 31,2020.Data were retrospectively obtained from donor attendance and blood inventory records ofTRC and included;1)the number of donated units of apheresis platelet concentrates(APC) and blood toTRC,2)the number of units ofAPC and erythrocyte suspensions(ES) supplied by the hospitals themselves,3)the number of units of APC andES supplied to hospitals by TRC(APCHandESH).The periods before(first period) and after(third period)arrival of COVID-19 to Turkey are compared. RESULTS: An increase of 52%in the number of APCdonations,but a decrease of 22% in the number of blood donations(NBD) were detected in the third period compared to the first one.Mean APCH were 7081±550 and5121±255 units in the first and third periods,respectively.The mean ESH in the first period was 873±326 units,while it was3694±3143 units in the third period. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It is obvious that we have learnt many lessons from theCOVID-19 pandemic,like how to face challenges in maintaining the balance between blood demandandblood supply.Utilizing media to encourage donors and implementation of PatientBloodManagement on national and institutional levels may be some some of the key components of a comprehensive strategy.The collaboration ofMinistry of Health,TRC and hospitalswassuccessful in securing a balance between blood supply and demand in Turkey,which COVID-19 pandemic impacted significantly.

Objetivos: Analizar las características de la población y determinar frecuencia y posibles factores asociados a enfermedad avanzada (EA) al momento del diagnóstico de infección por VIH.

Método: Se realizó un estudio analítico descriptivo de corte transversal mediante análisis retrospectivo de los datos reportados en dos cohortes de seguimiento de pacientes de dos hospitales de la región oeste del conurbano de Buenos Aires.

Resultados: Analizamos las HC de 211 pacientes. Sexo femenino 108 (51,2 %), masculino 102 (48,3 %) y transgénero 1 (0,5 %). El modo primario de transmisión se describió como heterosexual en el 89 % de los pacientes. El recuento de CD4 fue menor a 200 cel/ml en 60,2 % de los pacientes y menor a 350 cel/ml en el 77 %. Al momento de diagnóstico de infección presentaban un evento marcador de sida 65 pacientes (30 %) y se hallaban sintomáticos 86 (40.8 %). Ser de sexo masculino (OR 3,1 IC95% 1,7-5,6), presentar edad de 45 años o superior (OR 4.0 IC95 % 2,1-7,8), y estar desempleado o con empleo informal (OR 3.3 IC95 % 1,8-5,9) se asociaron estadísticamente a EA tanto en el análisis bivariado como en el multivariado mientras que haber ingresado al nivel secundario de educación se asoció con baja posibilidad sólo en el bivariado.

Conclusiones: Observamos una elevada frecuencia de EA en la población estudiada caracterizada como asociada desde el punto de vista estadístico al sexo masculino, la falta de empleo y la edad superior a los 45 años. La situación de los hombres referidos asimismo como heterosexuales debería ser especialmente estudiada.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN AGRICULTURE AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF AEROPONICS)
Authors: Vacharadze Aleksandre
Published: July 2021

In parallel with world population growth, demand for healthy and clean agricultural products is increasing day by day. To satisfy expected increases in agricultural products within traditional methods becomes more and more difficult, considering the climate change and soil degradation. There is a need to adopt and develop innovative agricultural practices. One of the most effective and new methods that can be used is Aeroponics. Aeroponics is a process of growing plants, within a controlled environment, in the absence of soil, with a small amount of water, using a minimum area of 3-dimensional greenhouse farming, where the cultivation period, compared to the traditional, is faster and prolonged throughout the year. Regarding this matter, we find it reassuring, that Georgian companies are not lagging behind the current global processes and are actively involved in refining or developing the Aeroponics system.
The advantages of Aeroponics over the traditional method (Geoponics) can be classified as follows:
• Requires less water.
• Plant fertility does not depend on soil quality, or weather conditions. moreover, soil is not required at any stage of plant vegetation.
• Has the highest vegetation per square meter compared to all other existing methods (Geoponics, Hydroponics), which is due to the possibility of 3-dimensional farming in Aeroponics.
• Reduces transportation cost, since greenhouses can be organized directly in the cities and in urban areas.
• The plans can be planted all year round regardless of meteorological conditions and seasonality.
• Since nutrients and minerals are systematically provided to the plants’ roots, the process of its growth and consequently fertility lasts longer than the traditional method.
As for disadvantages of using Aeroponics can be summarize as following:
• At the beginning stage, set up costs of all components for the Aeroponics are relatively high.
• Aeroponics requires specialized knowledge not only regarding the needs for plants, but also of the whole electronic systems and tools, which are widely used in Aeronautics (for example: pH / EC / humidity meter, timers, high pressure atomizers, etc.)
• Even minor mistakes can have negative effect. Specifically, if the plants do not get exactly as many vital minerals as needed, they will not survive. As already mentioned, soil is not used in Aeronautics which would neutralize excess minerals or nutrients.
In conclusion, Aeroponics is the one of the most innovative and efficient ways of farming, which promises sustainable future production of the agricultural products. Furthermore, Aeroponics has minimal or no negative impact on the environment, while traditional farming uses water and land resources insufficiently.

Published: July 2021

A Kashmiri scholar, Yousuf Teng, has recently discovered a manuscript of the Qur’ān along with its Persian translation by Fathullah Kashmiri which dates back to 1237 A.D., indicating that the study of the Qur’ān had begun in Kashmir even before the advent of Islam there. A number of Kashmiri scholars, thereafter, have contributed to the field of Qur’ānic studies in languages such as Arabic, Persian, English, Urdu, Punjabi, Kashmiri, Pahari, and Gojri. However, despite the abundance of material on the subject, there have been very little academic works dedicated to its growth in Kashmir. This articles attempts to outline the evolution of Qur’ānic studies in Kashmir by tracing the written material on the subject from the past seven centuries.

Objective: To determine effects of latissimus dorsi stretching on functional disability related to chronic low back pain. Methodology: A single group pretest-posttest design trial was conducted in NOSIS clinics Mansehra Pakistan. Patients with the age between 20-60 years had chronic mechanical low back pain lasting for 7-12 weeks were included in the study. A total of n=64 randomly divided into experimental and control group, those received stabilization exercises (SE) plus latissimus dorsi stretching (LDS) and stabilization exercises alone respectively. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used to determine functional disability. The level of significance was set at 95% CI (p≤0.05). Results: A total of n=61 participants participated in the study. The mean age of the study participants was 39.60 ± 10.02 and sitting time was 6.54± 1.23. It was observed that both the experimental group {p<0.001, ɳp2=0.934} and control group {p<0.001, ɳp2=0.875} significantly improved the ODI score with large effect size after 4 weeks of intervention. However, between the comparison showed significant improvement with large effect size in experimental group as compared to control group, after first week (p<0.001), and 2nd week (p<0.001) of intervention. Conclusion: the combination of spinal stabilization exercises and stretching of latissimus dorsi effective in improving functional disability related to chronic low back pain.

While there was no significant difference in mean difference of spasticity {F(df)= 2,57(2.119), p=0.130}. Conclusion: baclofen along with stretching exercises significantly improved fluid, calorie intake and spasticity.
A New Approach on the Response of Non-Uniform Prestressed Timoshenko Beams on Elastic Foundation Subjected to Harmonic Loads
Authors: Ogunbamike O.K.
Published: July 2021

The dynamic response of the Timoshenko beam resting on an elastic foundation subjected to harmonic moving load using modal analysis (MA) was investigated. The method of MA was employed to obtain a closed form solution to this class of dynamical systems. In order to use MA, accurate information is needed on the natural frequencies, mode shapes and orthogonality of the mode shapes. A thorough literature survey reveals that the method has not been reported in existing literature to solve non-prestressed Timoshenko beams. Thus, we present complete information on how to use MA to derive the forced vibration responses of a simply thick beam subjected to harmonic moving loads. The effects of axial force and foundation parameters on the dynamic characteristics of the beams are studied and described in detail. In order to validate the accuracy of this method, we compare the frequency parameter with the existing literature which appears to compare favorably.

Published: July 2021

The need to meet the demands of subscribers of wireless services is imperative to Global System for Mobile (GSM) Communication companies. These demands, which revolve around the maintenance of good network coverage and improved Quality of Service (QoS), depend largely on the nature of cellular network masts. Greedy Algorithm Model was implemented on network masts for small size populated areas to effectively have optimal network coverage. Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM) and Java programming language was used for its implementation. The analysis of the results shows that Greedy Algorithm performed optimizing cellular network masts hoisting optimally for small populated areas.

Studies identify dearth of affordable core houses for households who cannot afford whole houses. Architectural design characteristics affecting design simplicity have been found to positively influence core housing affordability. Despite this, documentation on whether design simplicity has been considered in the designs of existing core houses is lacking. This is required to check imputs in future designs. Study examined reflection of design simplicity in architectural design of existing public core housing schemes in Anambra State, Nigeria, using Mixed Method approach. Data were obtained from architectural drawings of existing prototypes, field observations and personal interview protocols. Observation schedules with “Yes” and “No” ratings were used in ascertaining reflection of the attribute in each of the 7 prototypes studied. It was found featuring only in 3 out of the 7 prototypes. For affordability improvement, the paper recommends inculcating the variables constituting design simplicity in future core housing design in Anambra State.

O pensamento decolonial que surge como resistência às ideologias da modernidade eurocêntrica, busca denunciar o sofrimento humano dando visibilidade às vozes subalternas silenciadas pela colonialidade. É nesse sentido, que a série que ora apresentamos em dois volumes, registra na forma de artigos, tanto no âmbito de pesquisas cientificas como na apresentação de relatos reflexivos, práticas decoloniais em estudos relacionados a Linguística, Educação, Direito, Literatura e Análise do Discurso. A coletânea é composta por textos produzidos por mestres, mestrandos, doutores e doutorandos que fazem pesquisa em universidades públicas de todo Brasil e do exterior, demonstrando a importância da construção e do fluxo de saberes entre linguagens, corpos e culturas híbridas. Reunimos nos dois volumes da série, pesquisadores sem preocupação com uma unidade disciplinar, mas que tivessem como foco a formulação de pensamentos a partir dos estudos decoloniais. Neste primeiro volume destacamos artigos que apresentam a literatura como ferramenta de resistência, e mais dois textos que evidenciam a opressão de grupos subalternos, um no âmbito religioso e o segundo que problematiza discursos na conjuntura política.
