The Magic Seeds of One’s Way in the World and The Enigma of arrival the Symbolic Meaning of Transport in V. S. Naipaul’s Later Fiction
Authors: Labaune-Demeule Florence
Published: March 2022

As travelling is one of the most crucial themes in V. S. Naipaul’s fiction, the means of transport used to travel are just as important since they are necessary for the discovery of new places. They are linked both to the dynamics of travelling and to the traveller’s arrival in new loci. Travelling does not only introduce changes. It is the very moment and place where changes occur, where one can pass from one state to another, with all the complexity and difficulties it entails—in terms of logistics, language and emotions, for instance.Whether one considers novels like A Way in the World, whose purpose is to insist on displacement, or The Enigma of Arrival, which draws the reader’s attention to the final place of destination, all of Naipaul’s later books of fiction (The Enigma of Arrival, A Way in the World, Half a Life and Magic Seeds) stress the importance of different means of transport: walking (even marching), driving cars (especially four wheel drives), sailing across oceans, flying different kinds of aircraft, travelling by train, etc., all have a symbolic meaning.Although the main impact of such diverse means of transport will be analysed with the purpose of showing that they are intricately (and obviously) linked with the notions of space and time, the privileged relationships between travelling and point of view (either perceptual or conceptual) will be highlighted in this study.Then, travelling and writing being profoundly interdependent in Naipaul’s later fiction this analysis will show that the symbolic meaning of means of transport is linked to the creative process: travelling is often what spurs the writer to go on with his literary activity: writing is then introduced as the artist’s (mostly the writer’s) journey through life and the kind of transport used may symbolically affect the writing process by creating hindrances or by stimulating literary creation which, in its turn, takes the reader to unknown shores in emotional transport.
Documenting Early Egyptian Imagery
Authors: Piquette Kathryn E.
Published: March 2022

When attempting to make sense of intentional marks on Predynastic-Late Predynastic material culture, emphasis typically centres on differentiating iconographic from semantic functions and elucidating symbolic meanings. The concern to classify a mark or sets of marks according to conventional, often anachronistically-derived, categories of sign or symbol has led to a general neglect of related areas of past meaning production. One of these areas is material practice, including its technological facets. This paper takes as its point of departure the premise that meaning is not bound up solely in the morphology of graphical marks but also resides in the materials and techniques deployed in their expression. It also aims to address the paradox, that while much of archaeology is ultimately concerned with transformations in technology, as investigators we have been negligent in considering the effects of the technologies we use in the present for the documentation and study of technologies in the past. Before addressing this paradox I discuss how we need to re-materialise our concept of early Egyptian graphical culture so that we can then consider it as part of past technological practice. In doing so, I draw on theoretical concepts of materiality, technological practice and phenomenology for the framework they provide for exploring early graphical evidence as both process and outcome of embodied sensorial and technological practice. In terms of technology in the present as applied to research, various challenges confront inquiry into the finer material details of surface marks and related features. Capture and study using conventional photography, archaeological drawings or other imaging methods are inherently selective and can result in omissions or errors. First-hand study is not always possible and, even then, some surface details can be difficult to discern. Advanced digital technologies are uniquely positioned to overcome such challenges and present exciting potential for bringing diverse subject matter, methodologies, theoretical approaches and media together. Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) enables the high resolution and detailed capture of object surfaces and features. Applied successfully to a range of documentary and other archaeological evidence, RTI is only recently being exploited for the study of early Egyptian graphical culture. I present two RTI case studies: the so-called Battlefield Palette or Lion Palette, and an inscribed ivory funerary label. This RTI data was acquired during the collaborative University of Southampton and University of Oxford project aimed at developing a Reflectance Transformation Imaging Systems for Ancient Documentary Artefacts (RTISAD), funded by the AHRC Digital Equipment and Database Enhancement for Impact scheme (DEDEFI). Through these examples I show the value of taking fuller account of the techno-materiality of graphical marks and demonstrate the tremendous potential offered by RTI for documenting, visualising and studying the early Egyptian graphic traditions and their development.
L’écriture cunéiforme
Authors: Mugnaioni Remo
Published: March 2022

Les conditions et les mécanismes qui présidèrent à l’apparition de l’écriture à la fin du IVe millénaire sont généralement tenus pour acquis : avant de devenir un outil au service de la langue, l’écriture aurait été un simple système d’enregistrement, une sorte d’aide-mémoire à l’usage de quelques scribes dont la seule préoccupation était de conserver la trace d’opérations comptables toujours plus nombreuses et plus complexes, inhérentes à la gestion des premiers grands centres urbains.Depuis quelques années une telle approche des choses doit être nuancée voire corrigée. Grâce, à la publication récente du corpus des documents archaïques sortis des sables de l’antique Mésopotamie et de son voisinage, il n’est plus possible, en effet, d’accepter l’idée d’un glissement d’une écriture de choses vers une écriture de mots. Telle que nous la saisissons à ses débuts, l’écriture nous apparaît, en effet, organisée sur des principes qui, pour autant que nous les comprenions, n’évoluèrent guère au cours des millénaires suivants. Bien loin de se limiter à un système primitif associant des choses à des nombres, elle révèle, dès ses débuts, l’étroitesse de ses rapports avec la langue et ses implications cognitives dans un vaste mouvement de pensée du monde au sein duquel elle se comprend elle-même comme un objet.
Éléments sur l’utilisation de l’espace dans la chambre funéraire du dolmen de l’Ubac à Goult (Vaucluse, France)
Authors: Bizot Bruno , Sauzade Gérard
Published: March 2022

La fouille exhaustive du dolmen du Néolithique final de l’Ubac a permis de mettre en évidence plusieurs phases d’occupation se caractérisant par des répartitions différentes des vestiges anthropologiques. L’étude de ces vestiges a révélé une évolution significative d’une phase à l’autre dans la manière de gérer cet espace. Au travers de ces informations, il est possible dans certains cas d’opérer une distinction entre des gestes purement fonctionnels, liés à la gestion des restes humains, et des actions plus complexes signalant une perception et une pratique de la topographie interne de la chambre funéraire dont aucun élément architectural ne rend compte.
Espaces d’accès et de circulation dans l’allée sépulcrale néolithique de La Chaussée-Tirancourt (Somme)
Authors: Blin Arnaud
Published: March 2022

Une sépulture collective correspond à un lieu sépulcral unique où sont regroupés les défunts. Il s’articule autour de quatre espaces constituant son organisation interne : un espace affecté aux défunts (dépôt et décomposition), auquel s’ajoutent des espaces cérémoniels, sacrés et des espaces dits techniques. Ces derniers correspondent aux zones permettant d’entrer et de circuler dans le monument. Fouillée par Jean Leclerc et Claude Masset, l’allée sépulcrale mégalithique de La Chaussée-Tirancourt a déjà fait l’objet de nombreuses publications. Elle constitue un très bon cas d’étude des espaces techniques. Ceux-ci sont spécifiques à chacune des quatre principales couches d’inhumation de la tombe. Plusieurs espaces de circulation ont été mis en évidence : couloirs latéraux et transversaux dans la sous-couche V-3, possible rampe dans la sous-couche III-5, espace intercase dans les sous-couches III-3 et III-1. Toutefois, aucun d’eux ne s’inscrit dans le programme funéraire initial du monument. Une telle évolution a été possible grâce à d’importantes modifications architecturales, comme l’aménagement de deux entrées latérales. Elle démontre une adaptation permanente de l’organisation interne de la sépulture collective aux exigences des opérateurs.
Megalithic art in the Iberian Peninsula
Authors: Bueno Ramírez Primitiva , de Balbín Behrmann Rodrigo , Barroso Bermejo Rosa
Published: March 2022

The presence of painted, carved or sculpted decorations in European funerary contexts makes megalithic art a basic reference in order to classify the use of burial areas. Complex graphic programmes of paintings, engravings and sculptures constituted an essential part of funerary rites. The burial models provided by the Iberian Peninsula are a great contribution to the study of funerary graphics. Moreover, their concurrent open air versions open unforeseen expectations for a re-evaluation of the whole of megalithic art in Europe.
Le cas du metal symphonique, entre dégénérescence d’un art de l’extrême et exaltation du culte de la puissance
Authors: Julliot Jason
Published: March 2022

Apparu à la fin des années 1990, le metal symphonique est un style musical qui divise les amateurs de metal. Ce statut inconfortable est notamment dû à sa dimension composite, qui associe un orchestre à la formation metal traditionnelle. Après avoir esquissé une définition du metal symphonique, cet article s’interroge sur la radicalité sonore dans le metal : en renversant l’équilibre en faveur d’instruments savants et en intégrant des chanteuses parfois lyriques, le metal symphonique s’apparente à un genre non violent, incompatible avec ce qui fait l’essence même du metal. Pourtant, en adjoignant toute la puissance d’un orchestre symphonique à la formation metal, en s’appropriant les codes du symphonisme néo-hollywoodien, et en concevant des spectacles démesurés, les musiciens de metal symphonique semblent bel et bien s’inscrire dans un « culte de la puissance ».
La “Nuit de la Nation” : culture jeune, rock’n’roll et panique morale dans la France des années 1960
Authors: Tamagne Florence
Published: March 2022

La « Nuit de la Nation » désigne un grand concert gratuit organisé le 22 juin 1963 par Europe no 1 et Salut les copains, sur la place de la Nation à Paris. Il rassembla environ 150 000 personnes, venues applaudir la plupart des « idoles » yéyé du moment. Les incidents et violences qui l’émaillèrent, généralement attribués à l’action des blousons noirs, suscitèrent un vaste débat dans la presse, mais aussi au Conseil municipal de Paris, autour de la question de la délinquance juvénile. Cet article entend revenir sur cet évènement fondateur, en pointant les défauts d’organisation du concert, mais aussi son exploitation politique et médiatique, et en montrant en quoi il constitue la prise de conscience de l’existence d’une véritable « culture jeune » en France.
‘Running Riot’: Violence and British Punk Communities, 1975-1984
Authors: Carroll Andrew H.
Published: March 2022

Roused by their experience at the Notting Hill Carnival of 1976, the Clash penned their first single “White Riot” and at an early stage helped to establish the burgeoning punk community’s obsession with violence. In the context of the social and economic crises of the late 1970s and early 1980s, street level disorders and attacks were common place. However, punk’s use of aggression was more than a simple embrace of violence’s banality during the period. It constituted a response to postwar British discourse about youth and the stark rise in divorce rates. Punks used violence to react against cultural isolation and to find individual, masculine empowerment as part of a subcultural community.
Cultural Context of Human Rights Violations Against Children in Asian Countries
Authors: Balakrishnan Kavitha
Published: March 2022

Asian countries have a culture that is diametrically opposite to European Culture. In India, China, Thailand, etc., mothers are more attached to their children than husbands. There are certain religious practices that amount to human rights violations. Chinese children are deprived of enjoyment to the fullest. Trafficking, disparities, problems in Tibet, etc. are causing serious threats to the lives of children in China. This chapter analyses human violation against children in some of the Asian countries. It is not easy to cover all the countries, so some countries that have representative character are included for a detailed study. This chapter analyses various cultural contexts that aggregate child victimization and also suggests measures to stop it.

Authors: Sinha Keshav , Kumari Roma , Kumari Puja , Parween Saria , Singh Karan Pratap
Published: March 2022

Women violence is a widespread problem that affects millions of women and girls across the world. The gender-based violence that threatens the well-being, dignity, and rights of women extends across social, cultural, economic, and regional boundaries. Women in all countries, irrespective of status, class, age, caste, or religion, experience violence once in a lifetime. However, specific groups of women suffering from various forms of discrimination, such as women with disabilities, migrant women, and lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women, are particularly vulnerable to violence. In this chapter, the author presents brief knowledge about the different type of violence against the women and also describe laws, policies, and social work which is used for the safety of the women. The theoretical framework is used to describe the remedies against violence and also help to provide love, safety, security, and shelter for every individual woman.

Published: March 2022

This chapter explores the distinct needs of youth who have been placed in the custody of the foster care system. The authors discuss the impact of abuse and neglect, removal from the biological family, and repeated relocation to different home and school settings upon the mental health and development of youth in foster care. The developmental impact of adverse experiences on these youth across different psychosocial development stages, mental health conditions to which this population is vulnerable, and challenges to meeting educational needs are delineated. The authors identify and discuss strategies for effective clinical intervention and advocacy that counselors may implement in school settings.
The Internet Never Forgets
Authors: Rood Melody Lee , Schriner John
Published: March 2022

Image-based sexual abuse (IBSA), commonly known as revenge pornography, is a type of cyberharassment that often results in detrimental effects to an individual's career and livelihood. Although there exists valuable research concerning cyberharassment in the workplace generally, there is little written about specifically IBSA and the workplace. This chapter examines current academic research on IBSA, the issues with defining this type of abuse, victim blaming, workplace policy, and challenges to victim-survivors' redress. The authors explore monetary motivation for websites that host revenge pornography and unpack how the dark web presents new challenges to seeking justice. Additionally, this chapter presents recommendations from the literature focusing on shifting cultural attitudes, effective legislation, and increased education and training.
Public and Stakeholders' Perceptions of Newspaper Coverage of Child Labour in Nigeria
Authors: Ajaegbu Oguchi Onyeizu , Akoja Mofoluke , Ogunwemimo Taiwo Abolaji
Published: March 2022

The chapter explored public and stakeholder perceptions of media coverage of child labour in Nigeria. It has been observed that most studies are deficient in information on the interplay between media coverage of children issues and public perception of such coverage. This study therefore adopted the convergent mixed method design to elicit responses from audiences. Respondents were drawn from Babcock University on the assumption that individuals are literate enough to understand newspaper reports. Civil society organizations across Nigeria that deal specifically with children issues and some State Ministries of Women Affairs were sampled. The survey showed that people have knowledge of child labour issues from newspapers which in turn affect their attitude; however, their reactions to the reports are moderately favourable to the cause of abused children. It was recommended that newspapers give more coverage to child labour issues so that the public will have more knowledge and in turn make informed decisions.

3-Ethyl-3-benzoxy-methyl oxacyclobutane (TCM 104) and 3,4-epoxy-cyclohexyl carboxylic acid-3',4'-epoxy-cyclohexyl methyl ester (UVR 6110) as active diluents, a mixture of modified epoxy-acrylate and modified polyester acrylate in a certain proportion of oligomer, triaryl sulfonium hexafluorophosphate as cationic photoinitiator, irgacure 184 as free radical photoinitiator, and high-pressure mercury lamp as radiation source, and then the compound formula of free radical and cation hybrid photo-curing were prepared and further coated on the hot-dipped aluminum-zinc steel plate. After curing, the passivation film was characterized by neutral salt spray testing, FT-IR spectroscopy and electrochemical properties along with other relative evaluation criterions. The passivation film of this hybrid system can be cured at an energy of 600 mJ/cm2, and its performances are comparable to those of current water-based passivators.
Do all patients with suspicious prostate cancer need Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging before prostate biopsy?
Authors: Teixeira Anacleto Sara , Neves Alberto Joana , Carvalho Dias Emanuel , Sousa Passos Pedro , Cerqueira Alves Mário
Published: March 2022

Objectives: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is a useful tool to diagnose prostate cancer (PCa) but its cost is not negligible. In order to reduce costs and minimize time to diagnosis, it is necessary to establish which patients benefit the most from doing mpMRI prior to prostate biopsy (PB). Our aim was to test if mpMRI still predicts PCa and clinically significant PCa (csPCa) in patients with high clinical suspicion of cancer, defined as prostate specific antigen (PSA) > 10 ng/ml, PSA-Density (PSAD) > 0.15 ng/ml/cc or suspicious digital rectal examination (DRE). Materials and methods: We retrospectively collected data on 206 patients who underwent mpMRI before PB at our Department from January 2017 to July 2018. mpMRI results were classified using Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2. In primary analysis, we evaluated the association of mpMRI with PCa and csPCa and stratified this model for low and high clinical suspicion of cancer. In secondary analysis, we determined the rate of negative PB results in patients with high suspicion of cancer and compared theses rates with those obtained if only those with PI-RADS 3-5 would be biopsied. Results: In primary analysis and overall, mpMRI was predictive of PCa and csPCa. In stratified analysis, mpMRI was still significantly associated with csPCa in patients with PSA > 10 ng/ml and PSAD > 0.15 ng/ml/cc, but not in those with suspicious DRE. In secondary analysis, negative result rates were lower if only patients with PI-RADS 3-5 were biopsied, even in subgroups with high suspicion of cancer based on PSA and PSAD. In patients with suspicious DRE, however, the rate of negative results did not change significantly if only patients with PI-RADS 3-5 were biopsied. Conclusions: mpMRI is still useful in predicting csPCa in patients with PSA > 10 ng/mL and PSAD > 0.15 ng/ml/cc. If DRE is suspicious, though, mpMRI might be no longer useful in the prediction of PCa.

Lessons Learned from COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Tanra Andi J. , Tusholehah Musfiqoh
Published: March 2022

Background:

Coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 started in Wuhan and caused a global outbreak, including Indonesia. Indonesia is ranked fourth as the most populous country globally, with disparities in health, socioeconomic, and education. In this review, the authors intend to report the COVID-19 pandemic situation in Indonesia.

Methods:

We collect the relevant information from various resources such as government official data and press releases news outlets, as well as COVID-related studies based in Indonesia.

Results:

Indonesia does not have a uniform and one-way disaster preparedness system; this problem can be seen at the beginning of the pandemic where policy changes often occur and confuse the public. This situation has an impact on the high rate of transmission and death due to COVID-19. In addition, the pandemic is forcing people to implement social restrictions that affect people's income. Various efforts have been made by the government to deal with COVID-19, but the results are still not satisfactory.

Conclusion:

The pandemic of COVID-19 affects all Indonesians, physically, mentally, and economically. Fighting the pandemic is not one man's job; the Indonesian government is required to collaborate with the citizens to conquer the disaster of COVID-19 pandemic.
Obesity, Sarcopenia, and Depressive Symptoms in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Chang Yu-San , Wu Chiu-Hsiang , Wang Chin-Jen , Lee Hsin-Ning , Wu Yu-Hsuan
Published: March 2022

Objective:

In this study, we intended to study the association between depressive symptoms and the status of sarcopenia or obesity in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Methods:

We enrolled 176 outpatients aged 65 to 89 years with mild-to-moderate AD. The study participants were divided into four groups according to the presence or absence of sarcopenia and obesity. We analyzed differences among the four groups and used multiple logistic regression to examine associations with depressive symptoms.

Results:

Most of the patients were obese without sarcopenia (n [%] = 94 [53.5%]). The patients with sarcopenia either with or without obesity were significantly more male, compared to those without sarcopenia (p < 0.001). The obese patients either with or without sarcopenia tended to be significantly older (p < 0.01), and to have significantly higher prevalence of depressive symptoms (p < 0.05), and significantly more receiving antidepressant therapy (p < 0.05), compared to those in the nonobesity groups. After adjusting for covariates, we further found that the obese patients either with or without sarcopenia were significantly positively associated with depressive symptoms compared to the nonsarcopenia/nonobesity group (odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 6.88 [1.11–42.71], p < 0.05; OR [95% CI] = 5.95 [1.82–19.43], p < 0.01), respectively, and those patients with sarcopenia without obesity did not have any significant depressive symptoms.

Conclusion:

Obesity could be a potential confounder for the association between sarcopenia and depressive symptoms in patients with AD. Future studies suggest that depression interventions using reducing adiposity or increasing muscle mass need to be considered.
Safety And Efficacy of Clonidine for Acute Hypertensive Urgency in an Older and Hospitalized Population
Authors: Viet-Quoc Nguyen Patrick , Le Berre Camille , Fillion Lawrence , Lafleur Martine
Published: March 2022

Objective To describe the use of clonidine in hospitalized older people for acute management of hypertension. Methods This was an observational retrospective cross-sectional chart review study. Older people hospitalized between November 2017 and November
2018, with a one-time or as-needed clonidine order were eligible, and a random sample of these patients were included. Hospitalized patients could be admitted for hypertensive urgency or emergency, or for other reasons. Results During the 12-month study period, 546 charts
were identified as having at least one clonidine prescription, 248 were screened and 205 were included. The mean age was 75 years of age ± 8 years of age and men made up 53% (n = 109) of the group. One hundred fifty-one patients (74%) received at least one dose of clonidine and the
remaining patients has a clonidine prescription but did not reach the blood pressure threshold for clonidine administration. The mean number of doses per patient was 1.8 ± 2.0. Twenty-nine percent of clonidine doses were given when systolic and diastolic blood pressure was below 180
mmHg and 120 mmHg respectively. A total of 25 patients (17%) had a potential adverse reaction following clonidine administration. One patient had a stroke and two patients fell. Sixty-eight patients had evidence of target organ dysfunction related to hypertension prior to clonidine administration.
Conclusions Clonidine remains widely prescribed in hospitalized older people. It is possibly due to its rapid onset and little need for dosing adjustment. Clinical interventions should be designed and implanted to reduce its prescription.

Published: March 2022

This paper reports on an analytical study of the heat transfer and fluid flow in an electric vehicle e-Motor cooled by twenty five sprays/jets of oil. A three-dimensional, quasi-steady state, multi-phase, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and conjugate heat transfer (CHT) model was created using a commercial CFD software. The transport equations of mass, momentum, energy and volume fraction were solved together with models for turbulence and wall treatment. An explicit formulation of the volume of fluid (VOF) technique was used to simulate the sprays, a time-implicit formulation was used for the flow-field and three dimensional conduction heat transfer with non-isotropic thermal conductivities was used to simulate the heat transfer in the windings. An important challenge was to formulate an efficient solution algorithm that can rigorously comprehend twenty five sprays in order to accurately predict the temperature distributions in the windings, without thrifting physics, and within reasonable total analysis turn-around times. The latter includes both model set-up times as well as run times. User functions were coded in order to implement the efficient solution methodology. The outcome of this effort was a novel solution technique which due to its economical analysis times of the order of a week or so, can play a key role in virtually optimizing the e-Motor design, reduce dependence on costly and time consuming tests and shorten product development times. The predicted temperatures of the windings show good agreement with thermocouple measurements.

-Ni Coated Cast Iron Brake Rotors Under Modified Brake Dynamometer Test Standards
Authors: Cai Ran , Sun Jiayi , Zhang Jingzeng , Tjong Jimi , Foots Sean , Lavelle Mark , Nie Xueyuan
Published: March 2022

Due to the reduced or less-frequent usages of the friction brakes and the lower brake rotor temperature on electrical vehicles (EV), corrosion would much likely occur on brake rotors. Using hard braking to clean the corroded rotor surfaces often leads to extra rotor surface wear. Improvement in corrosion and wear resistance is an important technological topic to brake rotors for EVs. Many original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and their suppliers are exploring surface treatments including laser cladding and thermal spray processes on cast iron rotors to combat the corrosion issues. However, mentioned surface coating processes increase the cost of brake rotors and there is a need to search for cost-effective coating processes. In this research, a new Al2O3-Ni composite coating was proposed for preparation of a commercial cast iron brake rotor using plasma electrolytic aluminating (PEA) followed by electroless nickel plating (ENP) processes. The added nickel was to fit in the intrinsic pores of PEA coating and reached to the coating top surface. The brake rotor with the corrosion-resistant PEA-ENP coating was tested with modified SAE Brake Dynamometer Standards J2522. In the modified brake dynamometer test, the number of stops in all the Fade sections were decreased from 15 to 6 to maintain the test temperature below 500 °C. The paper presents the dynamometer test results including coefficient of friction (COF), surface morphology and wear performance. The average tested COF was around 0.31-0.34 while the coating on the cast iron brake rotor remained integrated after the modified dynamometer test. The test results indicate that the new PEA-ENP coating is a potential process to improve brake rotor wear and corrosion resistance for EVs. Dynamometer tests with unmodified standards will be conducted in the future to further confirm the validity of the PEA-ENP coating applications in actual brake systems.
Optimal Chassis Suspension Design for Towbarless Towing Vehicle for Aircraft Taxiing
Authors: Zhu Hengjia , Zhang Baizhi , LV Xiao , Qi Kai , Zhang Wei
Published: March 2022

The towbarless aircraft taxiing system (TLATS) consists of the towbarless towing vehicle (TLTV) and the aircraft, of which the nose wheel is lifted and fixed by the picking up and holding system of the TLTV. The aircraft is towed to the destination in a long distance with a high speed of about 40 km/h only driven by the TLTV, which has the advantages of efficiency and economy by comparing with the traditional towing operation at a low speed of 5 km/h and with a short towing distance of about 50 m. However, the increase of the towing velocity leads to an deteriorate vibration problem in terms of the uncomfortable of the driver and reduction of the structure safe life limit, due to the lack of the chassis suspension for the vibration isolation of the TLTV. Therefore, the air suspension is introduced to the TLTV to alleviate the vibration. The dynamic model of the TLATS with air suspensions is derived. The chassis bounce natural frequency is presented, and the initial stiffness and damping coefficients are determined. The parameters of the air spring, i.e., the initial pressure, volume, effective area under the working condition, are optimally designed. The ride performances of the TLATS with the air suspensions under the random road excitation are compared with those with coil spring suspension and without suspension. The simulation results show that the optimal air suspensions could alleviate the TLATS’ vibration during the high-velocity towing of the aircraft.
Modelling of Switching Characteristics of Hydrogen-Nitrogen Filled DC Contactor Under External Magnetic Field
Authors: Ranjan Rakesh , Thiruppathiraj Sudharshanaraj , Raj Naveen , Karpatne Anand , Breden Douglas , Raja Laxminarayan
Published: March 2022

The electric or hybrid vehicles need fast switching operation in order to ensure the quick-response of the motors. This process is carried out by compact direct-current contactors which are designed to perform the switching over multiple cycles. During the contact separation, the gas between the contacts breaks down and the resulting thermal arc provides a conductive channel that sustains the current. Until the arc is quenched, the current continues to flow through the contacts despite the physical separation. This unintended flow of current could lead to a larger response time than the safe operation limits. We perform high-fidelity simulation of thermal arc in hydrogen-nitrogen mixture environment under external magnetic field of 1 Tesla. The hydrogen enrichment level is kept at 0%, 40%, 50% and 80%. The contacts are separated at 8 m/s. It is demonstrated that the increase in hydrogen concentration leads to smaller arc lifetime thereby improving the circuit interruption performance.
“Burying in logs” − A philological commentary on a Lower Chulym text recorded by A.P. Duĺzon
Authors: Pomorska Marzanna
Published: March 2022

Chulym Turkic is still one of the lesser known and researched Turkic languages. Having said that, in the case of Middle Chulym several studies have been published in the last few years. Since Küärik lexical material is included in Radloff’s dictionary, the least attested is Lower Chulym: this can only be found in various works by Duĺzon, which are frequently difficult to obtain. In this discussion a short text which was originally published by Duĺzon in an article from 1952 is reproduced, after which a linguistic analysis is undertaken to determine the accuracy of Duĺzon’s translation. The text is interesting from both a linguistic and ethnographic perspective: it documents e.g. the use of the past tense in -AďigAn which is barely attested in Turkic languages. It also describes the funeral rites of Chulym Turks after their conversion to Christianity.

Audiología pediátrica: el arte de armar rompecabezas
Authors: Castillo Castillo Salvador
Published: March 2022

La audición funcional –para fines prácticos– consiste en la posibilidad de despertar sensaciones precisas en regiones específicas del cerebro, a partir del procesamiento y extracción de mensajes ocultos en los cambios en la presión de las moléculas del aire que nos rodea. Medir la funcionalidad de la audición en un ser humano se convierte en un reto titánico que implica que nuestra vida profesional transcurra analizando información tanto subjetiva como objetiva de nuestros pacientes, ambas con un valor diagnóstico innegable. En cuanto a la primera, la historia clínica, las observaciones de la conducta auditiva del paciente, los reportes de la casa, la escuela y la terapia, o de estudios como la audiometría tonal y la logoaudiometría, resultan fundamentales no solo para el diagnóstico, sino para el seguimiento de nuestros pacientes. Sin embargo, en el caso de los pacientes más pequeños, o ante la necesidad de evaluar aspectos como la presión del oído medio, la función de las células ciliadas, o la presencia de microfónica coclear, la utilidad de esas herramientas subjetivas se encuentra limitada y entonces los registros, trazos, curvas y cifras relativas a intensidades, presiones, latencias, frecuencias, amplitudes y demás datos obtenidos a través de estudios objetivos, son los recursos que usamos para diagnosticar e iniciar la habilitación o rehabilitación de nuestros pacientes.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate food-borne botulism cases (especially purslane) observed in Adıyaman, a southeastern province of Turkey. Material and Methods: This retrospective study covers food-borne botulism cases, especially due to purslane, which were detected in 9 out of 796 people admitted to the emergency department due to food poisoning in Adıyaman between 2015-2020. The demographic characteristics of the cases, nutritional sources, and prognosis of the disease, its clinical signs and symptoms, duration of hospital stay, and treatment and death rates were analyzed. Results: A total of 9 patients from the same family (5 females and 4 males) were included in the study. The time elapsed since the onset of the disease was between 8-12 hours. The outbreaks occurred due to purslane prepared in the autumn season and consumed in the spring season. At the end of follow-up and treatment, all the patients were discharged with full recovery. Conclusion: When looking at the data of our hospital, patients were frequently diagnosed with food poisoning, but the cause was not specified. The main source of toxin seen in food poisoning in our city was due to canned purslane, which was stored in unsuitable conditions at home. Therefore, emergency physicians need to know how to diagnose and treat this rare but potentially fatal condition, as they may be the first to treat a patient with any type of botulinum intoxication.

Quem somos nós?

Somos nossa personalidade, nosso corpo físico, emocional e mental. Mas somos mais do que isto. Somos também corpos espirituais, como por exemplo, a alma ou eu superior, como é chamado em várias tradições espirituais. Deixar de lado nossa dimensão espiritual é reduzir muito nossa consciência e nossa fonte de energia mais potente, mais capaz de curar a nós mesmos e de sermos canais de cura, irradiarmos vibrações energéticas mais altas, e mais sutis, que ressoam no outro, no mundo físico e no cosmos, alavancando a vitalidade, a neguentropia, de tudo que toca. Curando. Este salto evolutivo de consciência de si mesmo como um sistema energético, algo muito além do meramente físico/emocional/mental é fundamental para todas as pessoas. Para um psicoterapeuta, um curador, é indiscutivelmente necessário.
