Authors: HAMZADAYI Oğuzhan , ÇAKMAK Gamze
Published: August 2023

Backraound: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of football and volleyball training on the neurotic values of 30-40 age group male police officers and to contribute to the studies and literature in this field.The universe of the research consists of 45 male police officers aged 30-40 working in Altınordu district of Ordu province in 2019.

Material and Method: The research is in quasi-experimental research design model. "Eysenck Personality Inventory" was used in the study. Statistical analysis of the data was made with the SPSS 21 program. In the study, the compliance of the data to the normal distribution was tested by using the Shapiro-Wilk test and it was observed that the applied test was suitable for the groups. In comparing the means of more than two groups, one-way analysis of variance (Anova) was used for unrelated samples, and one-way analysis of variance was used for repeated measures in more than two comparisons of a group.

Results: When the general evaluation is made according to the research results; In the first week of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, it was observed that the volleyball group had the lowest score, while the score of the control group was higher than the volleyball group, and the score of the football group was higher than the control group. In the fourth and eighth week applications of the post-training test, the lowest score was found in the volleyball group, the football group got higher scores than the volleyball group, and the control group got higher scores than the football group. While the overall mean scores of the groups decreased in the volleyball and football groups, fluctuations were observed in the scores of the control group. Considering the neurotic score averages of the test, the volleyball group got the lowest value according to the test applied in the first week, while the football and the control group had a high value with equal values. While the neurotic value averages of the volleyball and football groups decreased after the trainings applied, the neurotic score average of the control group first increased and then decreased. In the study, it was determined that sports positively affect the neuroticism values of individuals.

Conclusion: According to the results obtained with this study, it has been revealed that doing sports is one of the most effective options for people who work under high stress, especially for police officers, to get rid of the stored negative energy and to have a more positive perspective on life.The results of the study were evaluated with similar studies, and recommendations were made based on the findings.

Проблема остеоартроза коленных суставов стала очень актуальной за последние несколько десятилетий. Этому способствует увеличение общей продолжительности жизни, увеличение процента пациентов с излишней массой тела, гиподинамией, а также успехи медицины в коррекции данной патологии. Наряду с малоинвазивными или медикаментозными методами самым, пожалуй, радикальным и эффективным решением при далеко зашедшем процессе является протезирование коленного сустава. Эти операции проводятся во многих клиниках, являются отработанным технологическим процессом, и ставят перед анестезиологом ряд задач. Это и отбор пациентов на анестезию (и показания к различным методам анестезии с каждым годом становятся более либеральными), и периоперационная профилактика осложнений, и послеоперационное обезболивание. Известно, что интенсивность болей в раннем послеоперационном периоде после протезирований коленных суставов может достигать высоких значений. Особую важность приобретают методы снижения послеоперационной боли. Применение блокады n.saphenous под УЗИ наведением в раннем послеоперационном периоде после операций замены (протезирования) коленных суставов позволило снизить интенсивность послеоперационной боли, начать раннюю активизацию пациентов и уменьшило частоту госпитализаций в ОАРИТ. Для блокад рационально применение препарата Ропивин 0,5% 20 мл, такая лекарственная форма не требует разведения и предварительной подготовки ex tempore. Была исследована эффективность применения лекарственной формы Ропивин 0,5% для послеоперационной блокады n.saphenous после операций протезирования коленных суставов. Исследование показывает хорошую эффективность данного препарата для раннего послеоперационного обезболивания. Кроме того, решающее значение для ранней реабилитации пациентов после операций протезирования коленных суставов и профилактики тромбоэмболических осложнений играет раннее начало активизации. Применение блокады n.saphenousне имеющего моторных волокон и являющегося чисто сенсорным, в сочетании со спинномозговой анестезией, позволяет начать активизацию и вертикализацию пациента с опорой на оперированный сустав уже на первые сутки после операции.

Somaesthetics of Discomfort and Wayfinding
Authors: Tschaepe Mark
Published: August 2023

Somaesthetics of discomfort facilitates intentionally inclusive designed spaces for wayfinding by accounting for individuals’ distinct navigational experiences. Following the work of Richard Shusterman, somaesthetics of discomfort is a combination of somatic awareness and somaesthetic reflection centered around feeling ill-at-ease or out of place. The increased awareness of discomfort and reciprocal reflection upon feelings of discomfort enhances how activities and places are experienced, recognized, and categorized. How people experience difficult wayfinding is an element that is often missing from architectural planning and development. Considering uncomfortable somatic experiences of navigation would provide designers with tools to conceptualize and create wayfinding affordances within various spaces. Discomfort may be understood as a somatic affordance during wayfinding because it indicates that there is something problematic about the intersection of soma and environment. This paper describes wayfinding and somaesthetics as they pertain to architectural design. By using the examples of hospitals and parking garages, somaesthetics of discomfort is introduced as a tool that uses somatic appreciation and individual reflection about wayfinding experiences for improving how spaces are designed.

Thinking Inertia and Path Dependence in Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States
Authors: Yang Yulong
Published: August 2023

With the profound adjustment of the international pattern, the Indo-Pacific region has increasingly become one of the most active regions on the international stage and the focus of American foreign strategy has shifted from Europe to the Indo-Pacific region. By observing its policy documents and diplomatic practice on Indo-Pacific regions, we can find that the US Indo-Pacific strategy presents the thinking inertia, which is manifested by its hard power supremacy, the superiority of values, and the presupposition of imaginary enemies. Meanwhile, the United States emphasizes military means, establishes value alliances, and implements competitive blockade policies, showing its path dependence. The deployment and implementation of the US Indo-Pacific strategy are menacing and pose a long-term challenge and threat to China’s development. Based on these tensions, China may summarize and refine the foreign strategic thinking and path of the United States, so as to clarify its intentions and trends before making preventive responses.

In the development of modern social construction, with the continuous improvement of social economy and science and technology, scholars from various countries have gradually realized that human beings produce a large amount of waste every day, and this behavior will gradually lead to serious pollution, which has become a huge global problem. As the target audience of the environment, children can correctly understand waste separation at the stage of educational activities and design objects with environmental education components, which can not only guide children to realize the problem of environmental pollution, but also establish correct life values. Therefore, on the basis of understanding the current situation of children's environmental education, this paper designs and studies the content and effective measures of children's environmental education from the perspective of visual orientation, so as to ensure that children can establish ecological and environmental awareness and independently participate in practical activities such as reducing waste pollution.
Implement the Temporary Protection System of Invention Patents
Authors: Li Haolan
Published: August 2023

The existing temporary protection system seems to protect patent applicants through patent royalties. In fact, due to its emphasis on technology dissemination, pursuit of judicial efficiency, and lack of judicial relief for cost recovery during the temporary protection duration, the temporary protection system is ineffective. The abnormal protection mode that holds “double protection is given when a patent is authorized and no protection is given when a patent is not authorized” provides a larger room for a “submarine patent”. Concerning the behavior of “implementing related inventions in the temporary protection duration”, on the one hand, the law seldom endows patent applicants with rights; on the other hand, certain concessions must be made based on the awareness of rights, which leads to “patent royalty” that is hard to dispose of for personnel handling the case. To implement the temporary protection system of invention patents, it is necessary to combine the unique patent examination system in China. “Whether authorized or not, the patent royalty should be paid” is the original principle of “temporary protection” in China. As an independent stage, the patent royalties during the temporary protection duration should be premised on the patent license fee/infringement fee. Besides, special standards of calculation and examination as well as implementation plans should be established.

L52305 Probabilistic Analysis of Pipeline Uplift Resistance
Authors: Liu  , Nixon
Published: August 2023

To investigate the feasibility of probabilistic analyses of the peak uplift resistance in frozen soils by varying parameters that are known to be important for the development of the uplift resistance under the upward movement of a pipe. A buried pipeline will be subjected to a variety of forces, both internal and external, including the interaction of the pipe with the surrounding soil. The soil-pipe interaction in permafrost regions have to account for the behavior of frozen and unfrozen soil, and transitions between the two as the pipeline traverses in a discontinuous permafrost zone. The variations in the properties and behavior of frozen soils are expected to be substantial in three dimensions of the Right-of-Way (ROW) and with time (seasonal fluctuations and changes with the history of pipeline operation). Given the uncertainties with frozen soil properties and the changes in behavior with time and location, a large variation in soil-pipe interaction characteristics can exist. The uplift resistance of a pipeline is one of these soil-pipe interactions that can be impacted by a variation in soil condition and state. A need was identified to outline the use of a probabilistic analysis of pipe uplift resistance in an attempt to capture the magnitude of these variations and uncertainties of frozen soil and the impact on the soil-pipe interaction. The probabilistic analysis allows the designer of a pipeline to consider a range of uplift resistance to a certain confidence level that would represent the likely values that a pipe may be subjected to.

The work presented in this report is more focused on the methodology of the probabilistic approach, rather than the analysis itself for a specific design case, even though an example is provided for illustration purposes. A series of numerical simulations using Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua (FLAC) were completed varying one parameter with each run to develop a library of peak uplift resistances for a variety of different temperatures, soil properties and pipe parameters. The FLAC model was previously developed for PRC, a summary of this report is provided here to outline important parameters that were used to complete this analysis. The simulations were used to develop a correlation of peak uplift resistance as a function of soil tensile strain limit, modulus of deformation, and creep of frozen soils. Each of these parameters is dependent of the pipeline conditions such as temperature, displacement rate, and effective frozen cover depth. It is noted that the scope of the work was to develop a probabilistic method of estimating peak uplift resistance in frozen soils. Even though some sensitivity analysis were carried out, as outlined later in this report, to assess the impacts of the variable, detailed uncertainty analysis or risk assessment were not performed.
PR-719-223803-R01 API 1163 Performance Validation Guidelines
Authors: Skow Jason
Published: August 2023

The main purpose of this project is to provide technical guidance for the practical implementation of the measurement performance validation methodologies outlined in the API RP 1163 2021 Edi- tion (API 1163-2021), which include three levels of validation:

Level 1: The vendor specification is used to define measurement performance with little or no field validation. This level typically applies to ILI systems that have been proven in the past on pipelines that have previous ILI baselines for comparison.

Level 2: The vendor specification is tested against field-measured anomalies by calculating a binomial confidence interval on the ratio of anomalies within specification to the total number of inspected anomalies. The interval endpoints are used to define three outcomes.

Level 3: The as-run performance of the ILI-tool is calculated from validation field meas- urements using statistical methods. The calculated performance can then be used in-place of the vendor specification in subsequent integrity and risk analyses.

This project developed guidelines for each validation level and produced a Microsoft Excel spread- sheet tool that calculates and plots the validation results in a way that is reflective of these guide- lines. The scope of these guidelines and spreadsheet tool includes the validation of ILI perfor- mance for detection (probability of detection, POD), anomaly type identification (probability of identification, POI, and probability of misidentification, POMI), and sizing accuracy. Anomalies considered within scope of these guidelines include metal loss and crack anomalies.

PR-457-21206-R01 CFD Study of Prechamber NOx Production Mechanisms
Authors: Nowlin Jacob , Wallace Kevin , Beurlot Kyle , Patterson Mark , Jacobs Timothy
Published: August 2023

Use of the pre-combustion chamber (PCC) as an ignition source in large-bore natural gas engines has shown promise in reducing emissions. By increasing the ignition energy and surface area via a turbulent jet, these devices can extend the lean operating limit of the engine and reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx). This study aims to characterize the sensitivity of main chamber NOx formation to changes in the PCC jet. A CFD model of a Cooper-Bessemer GMV two-stroke lean-burn natural gas engine is used for this purpose. The temperature and chemical composition of the PCC jet are varied across several tasks, and the resulting changes in main chamber NO and shy;x emissions are recorded. Three-dimensional plotting tools are used to determine where and when NOx forms in the engine during the cycle. Data on the chemical pathways to NO and NO2 and shy; and shy; formation and destruction is also presented.

PR179-22600-R01 Evaluation of High Flow Sampler Technologies
Authors: Vaughn Tim
Published: August 2023

High Flow samplers remain the most useful and accurate tool for the direct measurement of fugitive and vented emission sources in the field. Operators may be obligated to measure certain emissions with the high-flow sampler for regulatory, reporting, or internal environmental and/or maintenance programs. The most commonly used commercial unit of the last 20+ years has been the Bacharach Hi-Flow Sampler, though it was recently discontinued by the manufacturer. The supply of new units and spare parts is exhausted, leaving an unmet need for direct emission measurement capabilities. Though several research groups have constructed their own high-flow samplers as prototypes or in low volumes, the need for a commercial replacement of the Bacharach unit was recognized by several manufacturers who are bringing new and updated high-flow units to the market. This report will outline the capabilities and qualities of these currently available commercial units to provide interested users with the background needed to inform their purchasing decision.
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: A GENDER-BASED ANALYSIS
Authors: Widayanti Sri
Published: August 2023

Violence against women is a widespread issue occurs in personal, cultural and structural level, both national and international. Defending women’s rights that have been corrupted since forever requires a strong commitment and hard work within all aspects of life from various elements of society. Among ways to eliminate violence against women is by analyzing policies, social programs, values and norms based on gender. Using this analysis, it is expected to figure out gender bias within policies, programs, norms and values implemented within society. The fact shows that many forms of violence against women occur due to women’s limited access in political, social, cultural, economic and religious life. This paper tries to elaborate a gender-based analysis as an alternative tool to defend women’s rights. Also, it is an effort to raise people’s awareness about gender issue and to struggle for a gender-based justice welfare society.
Correlation of Accelerated Corrosion and Real Reinforced Concrete Water Structures
Authors: Mogire Philip
Published: August 2023

The service life of reinforced concrete constitutes the initiation and propagation period. Accelerated corrosion tests are carried out to obtain results in modelling the Service life of reinforced concrete structures. Its erroneous to undertake a direct linear extrapolation of accelerated test results to real structures in predicting their service life. This research examines the relationship between the result from accelerated corrosion and real reinforced concrete water structures. The physical and chemical properties of the materials used in the study were investigated for compliance for use in reinforced concrete water structures. Concrete of three classes M25, M30 and M35 were used to cast accelerated corrosion test samples. For each class 9 concrete samples of diameter 100 mm,130 mm and 150mm respectively and 300mm long were prepared. A 10 mm diameter bar,400mm long was centrally inserted during casting. After curing the test samples were immersed in a 3.5% solution of sodium chloride solution under 6 V. The accelerated corrosion specimens were monitored for onset of cracks and stopped when the cracks were 0.2 mm in width. Using the accelerated corrosion and real reinforced concrete results, a parametric study of the propagation period was done and a model proposed. From the results the proposed and published propagation period model compares well. The result from accelerated corrosion and real reinforced concrete water structures lineally increase for the propagation period. The proposed model can be considered as an input parameter for the service life of actual reinforced concrete water structures and contribute to their optimum performance.

Published: August 2023

Hudleston's fossil collections were very important and of some size as he purchased the Jurassic mainly gastropod collections of Barrel Stephens, Alexander William Griesbach and Sydney Savory Buckman (1860-1929) to add to his own. In connection with the latter the following letter of 24 August 1885 in the Buckman family papers seems worth putting on record here with grateful acknowledgement to Peter Buckman the present owner. "Dear Sir, In reference to my collection of Fossil Gasteropoda of all kinds which you saw the other day. I value these at one hundred guineas. The Inferior Ooolite collection consists of upwards of 220 species and contains over 1500 good well preserved specimens....

Information is sought about this Yorkshireman, described by W, Jo Arkell in 1933 (The Jurassic System in Great Britain, Oxfords Clarendon Press, p. 14) as a pioneer in the use of ammonites for the accurate correlation of Jurassic strata. This is an assessment based on Hunton's 1836 paper, published in 1837 in Trans. Geol. Soc. London (2) _5 215-220, and described by Arkell as a truly remarkable document" of "remarkable qualities". Basic biographical information about Hunton and his parents is now available, and at last his early fate is also known, but further information is sought and especially news of any of his publications apart from the above...
