HBIM tools for knowledge, maintenance and conservation of concrete built heritage
Authors: Agliata Rosa , D'Aponte Dafne , Lione Raffaella , Mollo Luigi
Published: May 2023

In the 20th century, reinforced concrete was one of the most popular building materials. It was formerly regarded as a material of outstanding durability and resilience, but over the past 50 years, it has revealed severe fundamental flaws. Main weaknesses of concrete include susceptibility to chemical agents and degradation brought on by poor design and construction. As a result, restoration interventions, recovery efforts, and re-functionalization of these artifacts have progressively grown in recent decades. Only when these improvements are combined with ongoing maintenance are they effective in extending the life of the structure. The most accurate knowledge of the building and all of its components can improve the efficiency of maintenance and recovery actions.
Recently, the use of BIM tools for reinforced concrete buildings is spreading more and more, going beyond new construction to include built heritage. A BIM model of an existing asset may be used to assess the building's condition of conservation, pinpoint any issues, and assess the alternatives available for repair and conservation while projecting the impact of the adjustments on the structure. This data may be used to plan maintenance and restoration activities, track the building's condition of conservation through time, and assess the effects of any alterations on the structure.
In this work, a workflow for "reverse engineering", enabling the creation of an HBIM model of an existing building, is proposed and then applied to a case study building.
This technique may be regarded as a watershed moment in the management of reinforced concrete structures since it simplifies and organizes all of the information needed to preserve the existing architectural heritage while utilizing available resources.

Published: May 2023

This study aimed to compare hip and knee biomechanics during sidestep cutting on the operated and non-operated sides in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and in an uninjured control group. Twenty male basketball athletes, 10 individuals with ACLR and 10 controls, were recruited. Hip and knee joint angles and angular velocities were investigated with a three-dimensional motion analysis system, and ground reaction forces (GRF) along with moments were collected during the deceleration phase of the stance limb during sidestep cutting maneuvers. We found significantly higher peak hip flexion, hip internal rotation angular velocities, and peak thigh angular velocity in the sagittal plane in the ACLR group. In addition, the peak vertical GRF and peak posterior GRF of the ACLR group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Univariate analyses indicated that the posterior GRF of the non-operated side was significantly higher than in the matched operated side in the control group. The operated and non-operated sides in male basketball athletes with ACLR showed alterations in hip and knee biomechanics compared with a control group, especially in the sagittal plane. Therefore, the emphasis of neuromuscular control training for the hip and the knee in basketball players with ACLR is required.

Published: May 2023

Low-load resistance training combined with blood flow restriction (BFR) is known to result in muscle hypertrophy and strength similar to that observed with higher loads. However, the effects of resistance training with BFR on cardiac structure and cardiac function remain largely unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this randomized study was to compare the effects of conventional high-load resistance training (HL-RT) with the effects of low-load resistance training with BFR (LL-BFR) on muscle strength and left ventricular function. Sixteen young swimmers (mean ± standard deviation: age = 19.7 ± 1.6 years, body mass = 78.9 ± 9.7 kg, body height = 180.8 ± 5.8 cm) were randomly allocated to a conventional HL-RT group (n = 8) or a LL-BFR group (n = 8) with a pressure band (200 mmHg) placed on both thighs of participants for 4 weeks (3 days·week-1). Outcome measures were taken at baseline and after 4 weeks of training, and included body composition, one-repetition maximum (1RM) back squat, and echocardiography measures. The 1RM back squat significantly improved (partial eta squared (Ƞ2) = 0.365; p = 0.013) in HL-RT (mean difference (Δ) = 6.6 kg; [95% confidence interval (CI) −7.09 to 20.27]) and LL-BFR groups (Δ = 14.7 kg; [95% CI 3.39 to 26.10]), with no main effect of group or group × time interaction (p > 0.05). Interventricular septum end-systolic thickness showed a slight but statistically significant increase in LL-BFR and HL-RT groups (Ƞ2 = 0.253; p = 0.047), yet there was no main effect of group or group × time interaction (p > 0.05). There were no statistically significant changes (p > 0.05) in other cardiac structure or function parameters (e.g., left ventricular (LV) mass, LV cardiac output, LV ejection fraction, LV stroke volume) after the training programs. Results suggest that 4 weeks of HL-RT and LL-BFR improve muscle strength similarly with limited effects on left ventricular function in young swimmers.

O estudo restringiu-se à análise dos prontuários referentes à Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, sendo selecionados atendimentos sobre queixas mamárias. A escolha do enfoque na mastologia foi devido à relevância epidemiológica dessa área, pois, segundo o Instituto Nacional de Câncer, em 2020, a neoplasia que mais matou mulheres foi o câncer de mama. Descrever as principais queixas, diagnósticos e condutas referentes aos atendimentos que se enquadram no serviço de mastologia são os objetivos deste trabalho. Métodos: Dentre 318 prontuários analisados foram selecionados 37, estes se referem a atendimentos relacionados às queixas mamárias. Foi realizado o cálculo da frequência relativa das principais queixas, hipóteses diagnósticas e condutas. Resultados: o principal motivo de procura de atendimentos foi nódulos na mama, seguido de dor na mama, secreção mamilar, resultado de exames, trauma na mama e mama extranumerária. A principal hipótese diagnóstica foi nódulos na mama, logo após descarga papilar, mastalgia relacionada ao fluxo menstrual, mastalgia, mama axilar e nenhuma alteração referente a mastologia. As condutas mais frequentes foram orientações, solicitação de exames e de retorno. Conclusão: os resultados desse estudo, majoritariamente, refletem o cenário nacional. Nódulos mamários, conforme a Federação Brasileira das Associações de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, são as principais queixas em consultórios de mastologia e ginecologia.

Published: May 2023

The study sought to determine the effect of money supply as a ratio of GDP on economic growth in Kenya from 1985-2020. Data on GDP was used as a proxy for economic growth. The study was based on financial intermediation theory backed up by other theories related to financial deepening. The study adopted a historical research design. A bivariate Autoregressive model (bVAR) was used in the study. Data analysis employed both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Economic growth is important, and one of the drivers of economic growth is financial deepening. Kenya has been developing its financial sector in order to achieve economic growth. However, there are controversies on the relationship between economic growth and financial deepening; there are no universal conclusions on the nature of the relationship between financial deepening and economic growth. The study established that money supply has a negative effect on economic growth in the long run in Kenya. In this regard, the study recommends that the government tighten the monetary policy regarding money supply.

Published: May 2023

The hotel employment sector is characterized by a high proportion of women, yet they are underrepresented at the senior management level. Females are disadvantaged in the hotel industry because of the traditional male perceptions of workplace gender roles, stereotypes and discrimination. The objective of the study was to determine how cultural beliefs affect women’s career advancement in 3-5-star hotels in the Nairobi County City Kenya. A descriptive research design was used. This study focused on a qualitative thematic analysis of in-depth, semistructured interviews administered to76 hotel managers. The interviews were used to gain more in-depth knowledge on issues concerning gender bias, leadership styles and gender stereotypes. The data was analysed using content analysis, in order to present data in words and themes, and allow for interpretations to be drawn. The results showed women were fewer at the management level and there were no women who were being paid the top most salaries. The study recommended adopting positive human resource practices that promote a gender-neutral culture in the hotels by providing unconscious bias training for all levels of employees to participate in.

The new chinese style Arhat bed is taken as the research objective to explore the effect of people’s view on people’s aesthetic preferences for Wai shape of new chinese Arhat bed, using the eye movement analysis method through comprehensive analysis on eye movement data from volunteers. Eye movements characteristics of 20 volunteers in watching pictures of different new chinese Arhat bed Wai shape are recorded by SR research Eyelink head mounted eye tracker. Experimental results show that eye movement data of men and women are in the same trend, but there are few data in instability and the male and female have a significant correlation with the time and the number of fixation points, with a obvious regression effect, under two different presented Perspective of products. In all 16 samples selected, samples 12 has the most fixation and fixation times, while samples 15 and samples 13 has the least. Visual fatigue and the difference between 3D model and the real Arhat bed products have some effects on the experimental data. It makes no difference for people to choose products from different perspectives in where the products are placed, and people prefer the Wai shape which contains column and is simple.

Published: May 2023

Climate change is now a global phenomenon with serious implications for many countries. Like other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Burkina Faso is also vulnerable to the extreme effects of climate change, although few studies have been carried out, even though several vital sectors, such as agriculture and the livestock, forestry are strongly affected. The objective of this work is to study the evolution of rainfall and temperature extremes in the Nakambé watershed at the synoptic stations of Ouagadougou, Ouahigouya and Pô. ClimPACT2 was used to calculate the extreme rainfall and temperature indices. The results show that cumulative rainfall above the 95th percentile (R95p) increases by 147.2 mm and 141.3 mm respectively in Ouahigouya and Ouagadougou. However, in Pô, a slight downward trend in the index (-0.17 mm) was observed. Cumulative extremely wet rainfall (R99p) is increasing at all stations. The frequencies of cold nights (TN10p) and cold days (TX10p) are decreasing while those of warm nights (TN90p) and warm days (TX90p) are increasing. The application of break detection tests to rainfall indices shows breaks in the time series. The PETTITT, HUBERT and LEE and HEGHINIAN tests show a break in 2008 for the PRCPTOT index in Ouagadougou with an excess of 20.8% from 2009 to 2018. With these same tests, a break is detected in 2006 in Ouahigouya on the same index followed by a 29.5% surplus

The company's goal is to obtain optimum profitability and increase the firm value in the capital market. This study aims to examine the effect of intellectual capital, tax avoidance and leverage on firm value and profitability. Firm value is measured by price to book value (PBV), and profitability is measured by return on assets (ROA). While the variables that affect firm value consist of intellectual capital (IC), tax avoidance (TA), and leverage as measured by debt to equity ratio (DER). The population in this study were 36 mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), and 24 companies were taken as a sample using purposive sampling method. The observation period is five years (2017-2021) taken from the annual report. Hypothesis testing using multiple regression with a significance level of 0.05. The results of the study show that intellectual capital and tax avoidance have a significant and negative effect on firm value, while leverage has a significant and positive effect on firm value, and profitability has no effect on firm value. Other results show that intellectual capital and leverage have a significant and positive effect on profitability, while tax avoidance has no effect on profitability.
Hospitality Education: Potential Path Forward
Authors: Kent Steven
Published: May 2023

Hospitality education is under increased scrutiny as to its value for students and relevance in research driven higher education universities. Concurrently, academic institutions are examining whether hospitality is worthy of its own department or if it should be consolidated into a broader school. The hospitality four-year education degree program has been available since the mid-1920’s in the United States; nevertheless, many non-hospitality scholars have suggested the field is nothing more than a vocational exercise. While academia has argued as to its relevance, hospitality industry participants have advocated for even more resources devoted to this area as they see the need for more rigorous academic research as well as the education of next generation industry leaders. This paper will examine these arguments as well as potential resolutions. Key focus will be on building out hospitality studied academic relevance as well as the adjustment of mission and curriculum of hospitality programs in a post-pandemic environment. Rather than resisting collaboration outside hospitality academic studies leaders should embrace work with social science and business scholars. A revised curriculum justifying the value of a hospitality education both to increase employment opportunities as well as to build scholarly acceptance. Many of the findings of this paper were preliminary presented at a previous North East Business Educators conference but never published in an academic journal. More detail, history and resources have been added to augment and justify the findings.

The resultant effect of adapting forensic technology with the intention of improving audit approach for the cause of redeeming the public trust in auditors' reports which has been on the decline is the focus of the study. Hence, the influence of data analytics and textual analytics as forensic audit technology on the audit report quality of selected audit firms in Nigeria was examined. Using a survey research design, a structured five-point Likert scale questionnaire was employed and 106 useful questionnaires were retrieved from the monkey survey on experienced and professional auditors from the 281 registered auditing firms with ICAN as of January 1st of 2022. The census sampling technique was adopted and the obtained response was analyzed using ordinal logistic regression. The findings show that data analytics have a positive and significant effect on audit report quality while textual analysis has negative and significant effect on the audit report quality of selected audit firms. It was then concluded that the usage of data analysis techniques in gathering audit evidence improves the quality of reports issued by audit firms in Nigeria. It is recommended that audit firms should embed forensic technology in audit engagement to sharpen their opinion through proper audit evidence and in turn favorably influence audit quality.

Research on the Reform of Civic Science Course Based on the "Interclassroom Behavior" of Engineering Students
Authors: Jiang Lin
Published: May 2023

In this paper, 1500 engineering college students in Jiangsu Province, China, were studied by observation, questionnaire, and categorization methods to investigate the "Inter-classroom behavior" of engineering college students. Nine types of behaviors were found: playing mobile games, watching short videos, shopping on Jindo, reading BILIBILI website, studying math or English, chatting, opening "Learning Power" app to study, drowsing and sleeping, going to the bathroom or going for a walk. The author believes that the nine types of " Inter-classroom behaviors" of engineering students reflect their needs. Integrating these student needs into the reform of the Civics course will stimulate the learning enthusiasm of engineering college students and thus enhance their Civics awareness, Civics ability and Civics self-awareness. Therefore, this paper builds a curriculum based on "physical and mental health-video productionmethodology education-examination subjects-study and study" based on the "Inter-classroom behavior" of engineering students. Therefore, this paper builds a reform system of Civic Science curriculum for engineering students based on "physical and mental health, video production, methodological education, study subjects, study and research, and sports and labor education". The sample size of this paper is still relatively small and has certain research limitations. In the future, we will expand the research base, fully explore different spatial and temporal characteristics, more comprehensively and precisely extract the needs of engineering college students, so as to study the curriculum reform based on their needs.

Fortaleciendo el desarrollo docente desde su espacio público autónomo
Authors: Cavieres Fernández Eduardo , Michels María Helena
Published: May 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar cómo el desarrollo docente podría fortalecer su carácter público, virando el foco de análisis desde el Estado hacia uno asentado en la ciudadanía. Valiéndonos de la literatura en el área existente en Brasil y Chile, sugerimos la necesidad de repensar el ámbito del desarrollo profesional, tanto a nivel de la formación inicial y del ejercicio docente, desde la perspectiva del espacio público como espacio autónomo, lo que implica fomentar procesos de deliberación que contribuyan a recuperar el carácter público del desarrollo docente. A través de la descripción de cuatro presupuestos ideológicos promovidos actualmente en la política educativa, revisamos el intento por parte del Estado de alinear el desarrollo de los profesores a una racionalidad de mercado, al resignificar su quehacer como una actividad de carácter individual, centrada unilateralmente en la práctica, sin focos de trabajo especializado y supeditada a criterios medibles de calidad productiva. En este contexto, afirmamos que un desarrollo docente, autónomo y público, debiese significar la creación de espacios sustentados sobre tradiciones de profesionalización que subrayen su naturaleza colectiva, una noción de praxis que integre teoría y práctica, la conformación de un saber profesional propio no instrumental y, todo ello, en función de la trasformación social más allá de los intereses productivos del Estado, y más en referencia a las necesidades más amplias de la ciudadanía.

DE RUMORES A MEMES: LA EXTRACCIÓN DE LÍQUIDO SINOVIAL POR MÉDICOS EN HOSPITALES
Authors: Fernández Poncela Ana M.
Published: May 2023

Hubo una historia o rumor o noticia falsa –según quien opine– destacado durante la pandemia en México –entre otros–, fue la sustracción de líquido sinovial de las rodillas de pacientes en hospitales. La historia tiene detrás una noticia y otros rumores sobre malas prácticas de médicos en centros sanitarios, y prácticamente se propagó en paralelo a los memes que surgieron inmediatamente sobre el tema. Es más, estos fueron fuente de información sobre el asunto al mismo tiempo que el relato en las calles, casas, medios y redes. El objetivo de este texto es describir y analizar dicho fenómeno social. Rumores y memes dos narrativas sociales muy vigentes en el tiempo de la alerta sanitaria. En el caso de estudio inició con un rumor que derivó en meme, una forma esta última de burlarse del primero, toda vez que de replicarlo y por tanto reproducirlo y expandirlo. Aquí se revisan los mensajes de esta historia según los memes. Como resultado se encuentra una posible deslegitimación de la institución sanitaria pública y la profesión médica, ya como crítica a la atención deficiente o como ataque político. Dejando entrever desconfianza y deshumanización hacia una medicina que se finca en el lucro, la burocracia y los protocolos, antes que en el cuidado de la persona. Además de un esbozo de vulnerabilidad de la población, ya que en un momento en que supuestamente es más necesaria la atención médica, conviene no acudir en su ayuda, o tal vez se intuye que es mejor no hacerlo en este tiempo de incertidumbre ante tratamientos o resultados no siempre satisfactorios.

Scope: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, community rehabilitation stakeholders from a provincial health system designed a novel telerehabilitation service. The service provided wayfinding and self-management advice to individuals with musculoskeletal concerns, neurological conditions, or post-COVID-19 recovery needs. This study evaluated the efficiency of the service in improving access to care.
Methodology: We used multiple methods including secondary data analyses of call metrics, narrative analyses of clinical notes using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and qualitative interviews.                                                                       
Conclusions: Interviews revealed that the telerehabilitation service had the potential to positively impact access to rehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic, for individuals living rurally, and for individuals on wait lists. Call metric analyses revealed that efficiency may be enhanced if call handling time was reduced. AI/ML analyses found that pain was the most frequently-mentioned keyword in clinical notes, suggesting an area for additional telerehabilitation resources to ensure efficiency.

Aim: The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of a telerehabilitation program on physical fitness, muscle strength, and levels of depression and anxiety in post-COVID-19 patients. Methods: Thirty-two individuals recovered from COVID-19 (48.20±12.82 years) were allocated into either a telerehabilitation (TG n=16) or control (CG n=16) group. Physical fitness, handgrip strength, depression and anxiety levels were assessed before and after an 8-week intervention. Results: There was a significant improvement in muscle strength in both groups. Physical fitness significantly increased compared to the CG at the end of the intervention. Levels of anxiety and depression significantly decreased after the intervention when compared to the CG. Conclusion: Eight weeks of functional telerehabilitation training is a viable and efficient way to rehabilitate patients affected by COVID-19, as it improved physical conditioning and mental health.
Does Schizophrenia Exist?
Authors: Repnikov Georg
Published: May 2023

This paper develops and defends a deflationary analysis of existence claims involving psychiatric disorders. According to this analysis, a given psychiatric disorder exists if, and only if, there are people who have the disorder. The implications of this analysis are spelled out for our views of nosological decision making, and for the relationship between claims about the existence of psychiatric disorders and claims about their reality. A pragmatic view of psychiatric nosology is defended and it is argued that worries about the “reality” of any given disorder have to be distinguished clearly from questions about its existence.
Understanding enzyme-mediated keratin hydrolysis and evaluation of new keratin binding peptides
Authors:   , Pinheiro De Oliveira Martinez Juan
Published: May 2023

Keratin is the main structural protein in hair, wool, nails, horns, and hooves. This study explored the potential of waste keratin as a resource for new products. Enzymatic hydrolysis was used to process keratin, and keratin powder was used as a support for biocatalysts fused with keratin-binding peptides. Various protease enzymes were effective for controlled keratin breakdown, and new keratin-binding peptides were identified and characterized. Industrial enzymes were fused with these peptides to bind to keratin powder, creating sustainable biocatalytic systems. These innovations open new possibilities for using keratin as a valuable resource.
Behaviour of valley-fixed cold-formed steel cladding systems under combined wind and fire actions
Authors:   , Zhao Ruoqing
Published: May 2023

External roof and wall claddings are subjected to combined wind and fire actions in bushfires. However, no research has been conducted for valley-fixed cold-formed steel (CFS) claddings under these combined actions. This research experimentally investigated the pull-through failure behaviour and capacities of three commonly used CFS cladding profiles under the combined action of wind suction loading and elevated temperatures. Experimental results showed that valley-fixed claddings have higher wind suction capacities and displayed a different pull-through failure mode under the screw heads compared with crest-fixed claddings. Findings from this research will enable the design of safer building envelopes in bushfires.
Morphological and clinical significance of the suprameatal region: a topographic study

Published: May 2023

The suprameatal approach, which does not require mastoidectomy, uses the method of tunneling over the facial nerve to enter the middle ear in cochlear implantation. Even if the SMA approach is also used to drain the mastoid antrum, the depth of the triangle and protrusion types may be important for surgical approaches in this region. This descriptive study was conducted with 58 dry skulls found in the laboratories of the University Faculty of Medicine. Important landmarks were used on the left and right sides of the skulls. All the distances were measured with a vernier caliper to the nearest millimeter. No statistical significance was found between the right and left sides (p>0.05). The border lengths of the suprameatal triangle were respectively 14.88±1.67 mm, 18.17±1.09 mm, 14.56±1.59 mm on the right and 15.34±1.65 mm, 19.01±0.56 mm, 15.89±0.52 mm on the left. Consequently, it was determined that the left side was wider than the right, and there was statistical significance between the sides. The mean ST area was found to be 112.7±16.90 mm2. The crest was observed mostly on the right side (n=30 (51.72%)), and the triangular suprameatal protrusion was observed mostly on the right side (n=10 (31.03%)). We think that knowing this area’s borders and morphological features well, nominated before the surgical procedure, will be a guide in preventing possible operative and postoperative complications.

Published: May 2023

Segmentation anomalies of the spine transformations are relatively common in humans, mainly in adjacent regions. Its aetiology is multifactorial, a combination of genetic, environmental, and epigenetic interaction. A sample of 50 adult individuals of both sexes from two different sites and chronologies of the current Argentine territory was examined. This work proposes a new approach to analyse segmentation anomalies, considering the taphonomic characteristics of the spine, together with the most common occasional contour shifts of such anomalies. Likewise, a bibliographic review was conducted to compile the knowledge achieved to date on this topic. The results showed different patterns of expression of segmentation anomalies among the analysed samples, with the lumbosacral transformations being the most prevalent. The similarities and disparities observed between Southern Patagonian samples and Inuit populations suggest that cold, as an environmental factor, could play an important role in the phenotypic plasticity of human populations. Similarly, hypoxia could influence the sample from Pukará de Tilcara. Due to the scarce existing methodological standardization for addressing segmentation anomalies, a systematization of the methods used to analyse segmentation anomalies is recommended; our approach is a proposal for this purpose.
