AVALIANDO A QUALIDADE DA AUDITORIA-GERAL DO SISTEMA ÚNICO DE SAÚDE – AUDSUS A PARTIR DO MODELO IA-CM
Authors: De Oliveira Farias Germano , Van Bellen Hans Michael
Published: September 2023

A auditoria interna do setor público é um importante instrumento de governança e é uma atividade que precisa ser avaliada em sua qualidade de trabalho, de modo a apresentar os resultados com eficácia e efetividade. O Internal Audit Capability Model of the Public Sector (IA-CM) é um modelo para ajudar a desenvolver a auditoria interna do setor público, fortalecendo sua capacidade e melhorando sua eficácia. Este artigo se propôs a aplicar o modelo IA-CM na auditoria interna da Auditoria-Geral do Sistema Único de Saúde – AudSUS (antigo DENASUS), tendo por objetivo verificar qual o nível de capacidade da Auditoria-Geral do SUS, tendo por base os KPAs do Nível de capacidade 2 do modelo IA-CM. Para tanto, realizou-se uma survey com servidores da AudSUS, compreendendo chefes e supervisores regionais em 26 estados e em Brasília-DF, e análise documental de manuais, normas e planos anuais de auditoria. Os resultados demonstraram que dos dez KPAs existentes do nível 2, seis KPAs (60%) estão abaixo de 50% de implementação, e quatro KPAs (40%) estão iguais ou acima de 50% de institucionalização, com efeito pode-se concluir que a AUDSUS não alcançou o Nível de capacidade 2 do modelo IA-CM, já que é necessário que todas as áreas de processos-chave (KPA) estejam dominadas para que pertença àquele nível de capacidade. Assim, depreende-se que o órgão de auditoria permanece no Nível de capacidade 1 que não tem processos estruturados, não existem práticas profissionais específicas, e as auditorias são individuais e isoladas, dependentes das habilidades de indivíduos específicos.

Authors: Rautio Timo , Jaskari Matias , Hietala Mikko , Järvenpää Antti
Published: September 2023

The present work was aimed at increasing the fatigue life of laser powder bed fusion manufactured maraging steel (MS) using surface modification. Samples were manufactured to investigatethe mechanical properties of the material with two types of heat treatment routes that were both subjected to severe shot peening (SSP). In addition, bending fatigue testing was utilized to reveal theeffect of shot peening (SP) and SSP on fatigue resistance of the MS. Microhardness profiles weremeasured near the surface and electron backscatter diffraction analysis was used for microstructuralanalysis. A thin layer of austenite was noted on the surface making it a softer section, which SP orSSP was able to transform. The fatigue life of the MS was notably icreased by the SP processing andeven greater improvement was achieved with the SSP, which raised the fatigue limit of the materialfrom 200 MPa to nearly 500 MPa.

Published: September 2023

In this work, cellulose hemp fibers were extracted from agricultural waste via a pretreatment process using an alkaline solution followed by a bleaching process. The high-pressure homogenization by microfluidizer was conducted to defibrillate hemp fibers into cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). The obtained products in each step of the process, including hemp raw fibers, alkaline-treated fibers, bleached fibers, and CNFs, were analyzed in terms of morphology, chemical composition, chemical structure, crystallinity, and thermal stability. SEM images revealed the successful extraction and decreased diameter with the uniform nanofiber shape. The disappearance of lignin and hemicellulose-related peaks in FTIR analysis, a decrease in their content in the chemical composition results, and an increase in the thermal stability of purified fibers indicated the success of the chemical treatment in removing noncellulosic components.
Tool Surface Degradation and Adhesion in Aluminium Forging
Authors: Peddinghaus Julius , Paschke Hanno , Brunotte Kai , Behrens Bernd-Arno
Published: September 2023

Tool surface deterioration is a crucial effect limiting the efficiency of forging processes. Prior work on wear is limited to steel forging while investigations on tribology in aluminium forging are limited to an abstract or simplified level. The presented work aims at contributing to filling this gap with a holistic analytic approach including ball-on-disc (BoD) tests, ring compression (RC) tests and serial forging (SF) tests close to industrial applications in order to gain insights on effects and influences of surface deterioration and evaluate the suitability of different tool coatings. The results show that the primary influence on surface adhesion in aluminium forging is the superposition of surface enlargement and contact pressure of the material flow. Duplex-treated tools with the combination of a nitriding in the first step and an additional coating with chromium nitride (CrN) afterwards show a significant reduction of aluminium adhesion in ring compression and serial forging tests, representing a promising approach to tool life enhancement in forging applications.

Authors: Suksaeree Jirapornchai , Monton Chaowalit , Pichayakorn Wiwat
Published: September 2023

We evaluated and optimized the mechanical characteristics of capsaicin extract-loaded topical films using the Design-Expert® software version 11. Dependent variables included UTS, elongation at break, and folding endurance, whereas independent variables included EC, capsaicin extracts, and TEC. While a quadratic model provided a more accurate prediction of elongation at break, the best linear correlation was found for both UTS and folding endurance. The DoE estimated that the proportion of EC, capsaicin extracts, and TEC would be 2.3: 1.4: 2.4. The model was proved to be acceptable for forecasting results inside the design space without the requirement for additional trials by demonstrating that the ratio's value of prediction was more than 4. UTS, elongation at break, and folding endurance experimental values were 70.50±4.53 MPa, 41.10±10.18%, and 101±6 folds, respectively. The calculated percent errors were 9.25%, 9.20%, and 9.49%, respectively. The DoE from Design-Expert® software successfully proved a low percent error of the prediction—less than 10%—and this was satisfactory and accepted for designing in drug delivery systems.

Authors: Wijayasiriwardana Waruna , Mukherji Subhanjan , Logendran M. , Mather Diana
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Micropulse Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) is a new treatment for glaucoma claiming to have lower levels of complications while having comparable efficacy relative to its predecessor, traditional Transscleral Continuous-wave Cyclophotocoagulation (TC-CPC).Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of MPTSCPC in the treatment of refractory glaucoma eyes.Methods: This uncontrolled interventional study was conducted at the Northampton General Hospital, UK. Patients who were selected to undergo MP-TSCPC due to uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) or visual field progression despite maximum tolerable anti-glaucoma treatment were recruited for the study from February to September 2020. Data related to the patients were collected pre procedure and up to three months post procedure.Results: Of the 37 patients included in the study, 59.5% were females. The mean age of participants was 75.35 (SD=10.37) years. The most common types of glaucoma seen in the sample were primary open angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma with 67.6% and 16.2% respectively. Mean pretreatment IOP was 26.62 (SD=8.36) mmHg. Three-month post-treatment mean IOP of 18.47 (SD=7.92) mmHg was a statistically significant (p>0.001) reduction of 7.10 mm Hg. The drop in mean number of anti-glaucoma medications from 2.38 to 2.22 was not significant. Except for four patients with prolonged ocular inflammation and one patient with macular oedema, there were no significant complications following the procedure.Conclusion: MP-TSCPC is an effective and safe treatment option for refractory glaucoma over a 3 month follow up period. More extensive studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow up durations are recommended.

Authors: Wariyapola D. H. H. , Wickramasinghe K. H. , Costa N. P.
Published: September 2023

Introduction: At the Sri Jayawardenapura General Hospital (SJGH), Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) for keratoconus is performed by a single surgeon with graft sizing done on vertical corneal height and same-sized grafting done for all patients.Method: A single centre cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from 01. 01. 2020 to 01. 04. 2020 at the SJGH. Patients who had completed two years of follow up after DALK for keratoconus had refraction, topography and biometry on a planned hospital visit.Results: The study included 71 patients (97 eyes). Mean age at surgery was 23.9 years; standard deviation (SD) – 6.9 years. The mean, postsurgical duration was 63.1 months (SD=23.4) and refractive SE was – 1.18 D (SD=1. 88). Hyperopic SE was seen in 21.5% of eyes. Mean axial length (AXL) was 23.50 mm (SD=1.16) and mean anterior chamber depth (ACD) was 3.578 mm (SD=0.36 mm). Mean AXL had significant negative correlation with SE (r= -0.676, P=0.000). ACD was correlated with average topographic keratometry (P=0.048). Mean topographic cylinder was -3.237 D (SD=1.85).Conclusion: Axial length measurements should be performed in pre operative work up in DALK. Patients with short eyes need to be counseled for postoperative hyperopia. Vitreous length may be a better measurement than axial length as it may not be affected by changes in ACD in keratoconus.

Authors: Munonye J. O. , Munonye C. C. , Esiegwu A. C.
Published: September 2023

An experiment was conducted in a poultry house located at the Faculty of Agriculture, Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu Alike, Nigeria to assess the thermal comfort of broiler birds of 0-8 weeks old. ASHRAE standard instruments were used to measure environmental parameters within two years (May to July 2020: rainy season; Dec. to Feb. 2021: dry season and May to July 2021: rainy season; Dec. to Feb. 2022: dry season). During the survey, the birds were exposed to environmental variables such as air temperature, relative humidity, and airflow. A strong correlation was found between the ambient temperature and the mortality of the birds. The highest mortality was recorded when the ambient temperature hovered around 300C. There was an increase in mortality rate at an indoor temperature range of 32 -340C, while the lowest mortality was recorded at the indoor temperature of 280C. The feed conversion ratio was low when the indoor temperatures were high. The researchers found that the first experiment was consistent with the second experiment. The study recommended good air flow and the planting of trees around broiler birds houses to enhance the thermal comfort of the birds, leading to less mortality and efficient feed conversion ratio.
Bioconversion performances of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L. Diptera: Stratiomyidae) on selected organic substrates
Authors: Nallakumar G. , Fernando K. M. C.
Published: September 2023

Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL; Hermetia illucens L.) is a bioconversion agent of organic substrates and its proven ability to degrade and biotransform of waste strengthens organic waste management and waste recycling strategies. BSFL have the advantages of rapid development and very efficient conversion of various organic wastes into body biomass. This process reduces the disposal costs of organic waste as well as the use of energy providing a sustainable solution to the treatment of organic waste. In addition, it provides valuable products and fertilizers for agriculture, potentially reducing crop production costs for farmers. The current study investigated the potential live biomass production of BSFL using different organic substrates available locally while understanding their decomposition ability. Seven treatments were compared (T1- equal proportion of poultry manure and rice bran, T2- equal proportion of goat manure and rice bran, T3- rabbit droppings, T4- soybean meal, T5- coconut scrapings, T6- equal proportion of vegetable and fruit waste and T7- cow dung) and the experiment was set up as completely randomized design with three replicates. The study results examined the ability of BSFL to reduce the weight of the end-substrate and promote the degradation of organic waste materials. The live biomass production of larvae, changes in live biomass production, substrate consumption rate, the weight of the end-substrate and substrate conversion efficiency were significantly different among treatments. The greatest live biomass production of BSFL was recorded in coconut scrapings and vegetables & fruit waste mixture while the lowest value was observed in cow dung. Coconut scrapings reduced most of their weight at the end of the study indicating the highest substrate consumption rate and the total weight of the end-substrate consisted of < 2mm particle in size. However, the highest substrate conversion rate was observed in cow dung. Aqueous solutions prepared from the end-substrates varied widely in pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, and salinity. In addition, significant differences were found among treatments for the colour and texture of the end-substrate. However, the appearance and odour did not differ significantly. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the most efficient media for BSFL was coconut scraping though; it cannot be used as organic fertilizer as it exceeded the pH value of the SLS recommendation for compost. Overall, BSFL can be recognized as an effective and environmentally friendly tool to use in the biotransformation process of locally available organic waste materials.
Identifying high-performing seedling teas in Passara, Sri Lanka
Authors: Hettiarachchi H. A. I. L. , Alwis L. M. H. R. , Dharmarathna T. T. D.
Published: September 2023

Tea is a shade-loving plant and is propagated either by seeds or cuttings. The seedling teas exhibit the ability to endure prolonged droughts while still achieving vigorous shoot growth. This study aimed to identify high-performing seedling teas in Passara where drought is a key determinant of tea yield. Twenty-one high-performing seedlings and six extensively-used vegetatively propagated tea cultivars from three randomly selected tea estates in Passara were compared morphologically based on shoot density, banji shoots, shoot weight, internodal length, length, and width of the mature leaf. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Minitab (version 17) software. The findings demonstrated a significant difference among tea bushes considering selected morphological traits at a 5% significance level. Clustering analysis of Gonakele estate grouped GS4 with TRI 2025, GS2, and GS3 with TRI 2043. VS1 and VS3 seedlings from Varellapathna estate were clustered with TRI 2023 and CY9, respectively. Hopton estate seedlings did not cluster with vegetatively propagated cultivars. Therefore, GS2, GS3, GS4 from Gonakale, and VS1, and VS3 from Varellapathna were selected as mother bushes. Thus, the findings unveil distinct clusters of high-performing seedling teas from various estates, providing insights into potential candidates for maintaining genetic diversity in tea plantations.
Disabled C3ar1/C5ar1 Signaling in Foxp3+ T Regulatory Cells Leads to TSDR Demethylation and Long-Term Stability
Authors: Medof M Edward , Rieder Sadiye A , Shevach Ethan M
Published: September 2023

Demethylation of the T regulatory cell (Treg)-specific demethylation region (TSDR) of the Foxp3 gene is the hallmark of Foxp3+ Treg stability, but the cellular signaling that programs this epigenetic state remains undefined. In this article, we show that suppressed C3a and C5a receptor (C3ar1/C5ar1) signaling in murine Tregs plays an obligate role. Murine C3ar1−/−C5ar1−/− Foxp3+ cells showed increased suppressor of cytokine signaling 1/2/3 expression, vitamin C stabilization, and ten-eleven translocation (TET) 1, TET2, and TET3 expression, all of which are linked to Treg stability. C3ar1−/−C5ar1−/− Foxp3+ cells additionally were devoid of BRD4 signaling that primes Th17 cell lineage commitment. Orally induced OVA-specific C3ar1−/−C5ar1−/− Foxp3+ OT-II Tregs transferred to OVA-immunized wild-type recipients remained >90% Foxp3+ out to 4 mo, whereas identically generated CD55−/− (DAF−/−) Foxp3+ OT-II Tregs (in which C3ar1/C5ar1 signaling is potentiated) lost >75% of Foxp3 expression by 14 d. After 4 mo in vivo, the C3ar1−/−C5ar1−/− Foxp3+ OT-II Tregs fully retained Foxp3 expression even with OVA challenge and produced copious TGF-β and IL-10. Their TSDR was demethylated comparably with that of thymic Tregs. They exhibited nuclear translocation of NFAT and NF-κB reported to stabilize thymic Tregs by inducing hairpin looping of the TSDR to the Foxp3 promoter. Thus, disabled CD4+ cell C3ar1/C5ar1 signaling triggers the sequential cellular events that lead to demethylation of the Foxp3 TSDR.
Archive reports and memories. The Brera Botanical Garden of Milan (1982-2001)
Authors: Banfi Enrico , Caccia Paola , Visconti Agnese
Published: September 2023

The article, based on printed material about Italian and foreign gardens and on unpublished documents preserved in different Milanese archives, aims at reconstructing the history of the Brera Botanical Garden in the period between 1982 and 2001. This is a period of particular interest in that it illustrates how the Lombard and State institutions, after leaving the Garden in a state of neglect for many decades, went on, while deciding to restore it, to fail to understand its value, risking with their plans to misrepresent its history. However, over the years, these plans were dropped and replaced with a restoration job carried out according to the most modern historical-scientific guidelines of The Florence Charter (1982). Thanks to this restoration, the Garden was enabled to redefine its role and vocation.
Automated Vehicles and Infrastructure Enablers: Logistics and
Delivery
Authors: Coyner Kelley , Bittner Jason
Published: September 2023

Like the shift from horse drawn carriages to cars, the emergence of delivery
robots marks a shift from driverless vehicles to automated logistics vehicles
where form follows function. On paper, the business cases are compelling and the
use cases seemingly unbounded. Vehicles may be conventional in the form of
trucks and industrial equipment of all types, or as purpose-built vehicles on
with widely varying cargo capacities. Proof of concepts and pilots are moving
forward on roadways, sidewalks, and doorsteps, as well as in low altitude
airways, ports, and even inside of buildings.

Automated Vehicles and Infrastructure Enablers: Logistics and Delivery
addresses the current state of the industry, benefits of ADVs, challenges, and
expanding use. It also touches on opportunities to design, modify, and expand
infrastructure—both digital and physical—to supports safe and equitable usage.
The report draws on experience and research on these topics in North America,
the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates,
among others.

Analiza sieci społecznych jako metoda badawcza w polskich studiach nad komunikowaniem politycznym
Authors: Adamczewska Kinga
Published: September 2023

Nowe możliwości tworzenia i wymiany komunikatów pomiędzy aktorami politycznymi, mediami i publicznością/wyborcami są m.in. efektem dynamicznie rozwijającej się sfery technologicznej. Pojawienie się mediów online (w tym mediów społecznościowych) zmieniło politykę. Równolegle zmianom podlega także komunikowanie polityczne. Stanowi to z jednej strony inspirację, z drugiej zaś wyzwanie dla naukowej eksploracji tego obszaru badawczego. Interdyscyplinarność nauki o mediach, w którą wpisuje się badanie komunikowania politycznego, sprawia, że badacze poszukują nowych narzędzi badawczych, szczególnie w zakresie zbierania, analizowania i wizualizacji danych. Prowadzi to do inkorporacji na grunt badań medioznawczych nowych metod. Celem artykuły jest prezentacja analizy sieci społecznych (SNA) jako metody popularnej w badaniach amerykańskich i europejskich, choć jeszcze rzadko obecnej w polskich analizach komunikowania politycznego. W artykule przedstawiono charakterystykę metody, jej główne wskaźniki oraz dotychczasowy stan badań z jej wykorzystaniem w Polsce.

Social Network Analysis as a Research Method in Political Communication Studies: New opportunities for creating and exchanging messages between political actors, the media and the audience/voters are to some extent the effect of the dynamically developing technological sphere. The advent of online media (including social media) has changed politics. At the same time, political communication is also changing. On the one hand, this is an inspiration and, on the other hand, a challenge for the scientific exploration of this research area. The interdisciplinarity of media science, which includes the study of political communication, prompts researchers to look for new research tools, especially in the field of data collection, analysis and visualisation. This leads to the incorporation of previously non-specific methods into the field of media studies. The aim of the article is to present social network analysis (SNA) as a method popular in American and European research, although still rarely present in Polish analyses of political communication. The article presents the characteristics of the method, its main indicators and the current state of research in Poland.

Las aventuras entre aves de Hudson
Authors: Binns Niall
Published: September 2023

El artículo examina la noción de “aventura” en la obra de Hudson en relación con las aves. Hace una distinción entre la experiencia argentina de su infancia y juventud, con especies aviares deslumbrantes por su tamaño y colorido, y su experiencia con las especies más modestas que conoció, ya como adulto, en un paisaje inglés que era víctima de una persecución implacable por parte de coleccionistas y de terratenientes y guardabosques empeñados en librar sus cotos de caza de depredadores. Las experiencias en la Inglaterra rural eran aventuras igualmente intensas para Hudson, un naturalista de campo con poderes de observación, una sutileza de oído y una capacidad de asombro fuera del común. El artículo se centra, en su sección principal, en la manera apasionada en que Hudson aborda en sus libros la representación de los sílvidos, una familia de pájaros de aspecto generalmente anodino y dificilísima de avistar, para examinar así sus distintas estrategias como ensayista y militante del conservacionismo.
Los vuelos de Rima, la mujer pájaro
Authors: Arocena Felipe , Iriarte Marissa
Published: September 2023

William Henry Hudson reúne en el personaje de Rima su admiración declarada por las niñas, debido a su inteligencia original y espontaneidad, y el amor por la ornitología, que estudiaba en sus hábitats naturales a las calandrias, gorriones y mirlos, entre otras muchas aves de su interés. De la yuxtaposición entre ambos elementos surge Rima, la niña-mujer-pájaro protagonista de Mansiones verdes. Son múltiples las razones para admirar a Rima. La tesis principal de este artículo es que Rima encarna el rol de una ecoheroína. La niña-mujer-pájaro es vegetariana, porque matar animales la hace sufrir, se viste con la seda de una araña que convive en su hombro, es capaz de atrapar las flechas de los nativos antes de que lastimen sus presas y devolverlas a los cazadores, se mueve en el aire como un pájaro y se comunica con la naturaleza. Estas características fabulosas y su deber en defensa de la selva tropical sedujeron a los creadores de cómics estadounidenses que la metamorfosearon en “The jungle girl” y la pusieron codo a codo con Batman y Robin luchando contra el mal.

Тип теоремы Кренгеля для компактных операторов между локально плотными векторными решетками
Authors: Zabeti O.
Published: September 2023

Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are locally solid vector lattices. A linear operator $T:X\to Y$ is said to be $nb$-compact provided that there exists a zero neighborhood $U\subseteq X$, such that $\overline{T(U)}$ is compact in $Y$; $T$ is $bb$-compact if for each bounded set $B\subseteq X$, $\overline{T(B)}$ is compact. These notions are far from being equivalent, in general. In this paper, we introduce the notion of a locally solid $AM$-space as an extension for $AM$-spaces in Banach lattices. With the aid of this concept, we establish a variant of the known Krengel's theorem for different types of compact operators between locally solid vector lattices. This extends [1, Theorem 5.7]} (established for compact operators between Banach lattices) to different classes of compact operators between locally solid vector lattices.
Reconstruction of a Rapidly Oscillating Junior Coefficient and the Source of a Hyperbolic Equation from the Partial Asymptotics of the Solution
Authors: Левенштам В.Б.
Published: September 2023

Рассмотрена задача Коши для одномерного гиперболического уравнения, младший коэффициент и правая часть которого осциллируют по времени с большой частотой, причем амплитуда младшего коэффициента мала. Исследован вопрос о восстановлении не зависящих от пространственной переменной сомножителей этих быстро осциллирующих функций по заданной в некоторой точке пространства частичной асимптотике решения. Для различных эволюционных уравнений многочисленные задачи об определении неизвестных источника и коэффициентов без предположения их быстрой осцилляции исследованы в классической теории обратных задач, где в дополнительном условии (условии переопределения) фигурирует точное решение прямой задачи. Вместе с тем уравнения с быстро осциллирующими данными нередко встречаются при моделировании физических, химических и других процессов, протекающих в средах, подверженных высокочастотному воздействию электромагнитных, акустических, вибрационных и т.п. полей. Это свидетельствует об актуальности задач теории возмущений о восстановлении неизвестных функций в высокочастотных уравнениях. В работе используется неклассический алгоритм решения такого рода задач, который лежит на стыке двух дисциплин - асимптотические методы и обратные задачи. В условии переопределения при этом участвует не (точное) решение, как в классике, а лишь его частичная асимптотика определенной длины.
Krein-Mil'man Theorem for Homogeneous Polynomials
Authors: Кусраева З.А.
Published: September 2023

Настоящая заметка посвящена задаче о восстановлении выпуклого множества однородных полиномов по крайним точкам, т.е. обоснованию полиномиального варианта классической теоремы Крейна - Мильмана. В этом направлении мало, что сделано; имеющиеся работы большей частью посвящены описанию крайних точек единичного шара в пространстве однородных полиномов в разных специальных случаях. Даже в случае линейных операторов классическая теорема Крейна– Мильмана не работает, так как замкнутые выпуклые множества операторов лишь в очень частных случаях оказываются компактными в какой-нибудь естественной топологии. В 1980-х годах был предложен новый подход к изучению экстремальной структуры выпуклых множеств линейных операторов на основе теории пространств Канторовича и получена операторная форма теоремы Крейна - Мильмана. Комбинируя упомянутый подход с методом линеаризации однородных полиномов, в настоящей работе получен вариант теоремы Крейна~--- Мильмана для однородных полиномов. А именно, показано, что слабо порядково ограниченное, операторно выпуклое и поточечно порядково замкнутое множество однородных полиномов, действующих из векторного пространства в пространство Канторовича, является замыканием относительно поточечной порядковой сходимости операторно выпуклой оболочки своих крайних точек. Получено также мильмановское обращение теоремы Крейна - Мильмана для однородных полиномов: крайние точки наименьшего операторно выпуклого поточечно порядково замкнутого множества, содержащего данное множество $A$ однородных полиномов, представляют собой поточечные равномерные пределы подходящих сетей перемешиваний элементов $A$. Под перемешиванием семейства полиномов со значениями в пространстве Канторовича понимается (бесконечная) сумма этих полиномов, умноженных на попарно дизъюнктные порядковые проекторы в упомянутом пространстве Каторовича, сумма которых равна тождественному оператору.

Understanding Expatriates' Cultural Adjustment and Performance in International Assignments
Authors: Reic Iskra
Published: September 2023

The aim of this research is to explore the experience of expatriates about cultural differences between home and host countries through a narrative inquiry. There is not enough information in the literature about expatriates’ experiences and how they see the role of cultural differences, cultural distance and cultural competences in adapting to international assignments. Therefore, main research question was how expatriates working in a large multinational pharmaceutical company perceive the role of cultural differences and cultural competencies in their adjustment and performance. A total of 12 expatriates from different home countries on assignment in different host countries participated in the research. A semi-structured, in-depth interview was used for data collection. Data analysis resulted in four major themes – preparation for the assignment, managing cultural differences, adaptation of leadership style, and adaptation to everyday life. The results showed that for a more successful adaptation and effectiveness, a better, longer-term and more comprehensive preparation is needed.

Casting represents a production process where a liquid material is poured into a mold with a hollow cavity, usually of the intended shape, following which its solidification is allowed. Numerous defect types are available, including blow holes, pin holes, burrs, mold material defects, shrinkage defects, metallurgical defects, casting metal defects, etc. All industries have quality control departments to eliminate the occurrence of this defective product. But the main problem is that this inspection process is done manually. This is a very time consuming process and due to human sensitivity this is not 100% accurate. In this study, we will verify whether the "manual inspection" bottleneck can be eliminated by automating the inspection process with transfer learning in the manufacturing process of casting products. In this study, we will verify whether the "manual inspection" bottleneck can be eliminated by automating the inspection process with transfer learning in the manufacturing process of casting products. In this study, the casting images were divided into two separate classes, and the classification process was carried out by applying deep learning architectures. The benefits of this proposed approach are discussed and proposed as a more efficient way to control the quality of final products under Industry 4.0.

The optimum design for effective and economical use of agricultural sprayer machinery is becoming increasingly important. In order to reduce weight of agricultural sprayer machinery, safe designing has been continuously developed on chassis and sprayer boom by related engineers. In this study, the stress strain analyses of the developed mounted type chassis design for agricultural sprayer machine were carried out with finite elements analyses (FEA) after doing related literature survey. The Taguchi orthogonal array design (L16, 24) for eight FEA is done. After doing systematically static FEA according to Taguchi experimental design, von-Mises stress and shear stress together with displacements on mounted type chassis were obtained. As a result, the effect of the weights of pesticide tank and sprayer boom on stresses and displacement determined. Moreover, the theoretical information about mounting boom width and safety factor on the developed chassis predicted via FEA before manufacturing.
Plagiarism and loss of identity
Authors: Esquivel Luz del Carmen Vilchis
Published: September 2023

The widespread plagiarism in various European and eastern countries of Latin American handicrafts can no longer be ignored. This puts at serious risk the design in the areas that are subject to the crude imitation, since patents, not fought for ignorance, ignorance or apathy of the governments, gradually take away the opportunity that local designers, graphics, industrial, textiles, etc., are able to claim the formal codes originating from their regions. This is a niche of research and debate, which should not be ignored, because it is a subject that refers to the legitimacy, origins, identity and, together, the culture of peoples. We have the right and obligation to commit ourselves to the struggle to recover what proudly belongs to us. If we do not do so, we will leave open the door to impunity and cynicism for those who care only about going to the most important regions of our continent and appropriating what they have not sown or harvested. When talking about identity, one's gaze often does not turn to the most important thing, which is origin, onset, root, and source. It is thought that globalization forces us to pretend an internationalization of “universal” codes that do not really exist, when observation should examine what is appropriate because it is private, exclusive and unmistakable. Alternation is in our own environment, let's not reject it and work to rescue it.

The Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945 are the rules which Government of India framed under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act,1940. The objective of the act is to regulate the quality, safety and efficacy of the drugs and cosmetics sold in India. Schedule (E1) of the rules enlist the poisonous substances under the Ayurvedic (including Siddha) and Unani Systems of Medicine. The present work is an overview on the vegetable origin poisonous drugs used in Ayurvedic system of medicine. Methods: A thorough evaluation of literature was done, including the relevant portions of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, authoritative text books of Ayurveda, published research papers in reputed journals. Results: Schedule (E1) is related to Rule 161(2) of The Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945; which instructs that if an ASU medicine contain any one of the Schedule (E1) drug as an ingredient, its label must contain a caution note, warning the user that it should be taken only under medical supervision. 14 vegetable origin drugs are categorized under the list of poisonous substances in Ayurvedic system. All these drugs have promising therapeutic utility which was also proved by various researches. Even though included in Visha-Upavisha varga (group of poisonous substances), these drugs are not toxic as Ayurveda advocates the unique processing method of Shodhana (purification) before using them therapeutically. Effect of Shodhana (purification) was also proved by various researches. Conclusion: Ayurvedic medicine, containing Schedule (E1) drug as an ingredient should be sold and used only under valid prescription of a registered physician. They are to be manufactured only after proper Shodhana (purification) of the poisonous ingredient. Caution label should be there on the medicine bottle. Physicians must ensure judicious usage of these medicines by giving proper patient education regarding the dosage and duration of administration.

According to modern text joint is a place where two or more bones are articulates with each other. Aacharya Sushruta has quoted that although there are numerous Sandhi in our body which cannot be counted so only Asthi Sandhi should be considered while enumerating Sandhi. Total two hundred and ten Sandhi are present in human body. Every bone is unite by joints and covered by muscles and gets blood supply by different Sira and Dhamani. These bones unite to form Asthi Sandhi. In Ayurveda the main Sthana of Kapha Dosha is all joints in human body. Janu Sandhi (knee) is the largest and most complex synovial joint of the body and is of great importance because it plays great role in movements like walking and stability, including maintenance of the erect posture and the transmission of the body weight. Sandhi can be taken as union of two or more bone in Ayurvedic Samhitas the description of anatomy of Sandhi in detail is not found. It is observed that the incidence of joints disorders is increasing day by day. It is burning problem for families and society. A thorough knowledge of the structures and functions of the joint is required to diagnose and treat the disease of joints.

Authors: Neetu Singh  , Rashmi Sharma
Published: September 2023

Infertility has emerged as a significant disorder, primarily influenced by the stresses of the modern world, insufficient consumption of wholesome organic foods, and the evolving lifestyle patterns. Anovulation-related infertility has become a major concern among individuals of reproductive age in the current generation, largely due to unfavourable lifestyle shifts. A notable portion of couples seeking help at fertility clinics grapple with infertility caused by the absence of ovulation. In a remarkable 90% of these cases, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) stands as the predominant culprit. The timeless wisdom of ancient Ayurvedic scholar Sushruta continues to hold relevance today. His delineation of the four crucial factors for conception remains as imperative as it was in the past. Among these factors, the health of the ovum stands out, and disruptions in Vata Dosha often manifest as issues in ovulatory function. This narrative presents a case study involving an infertile couple who had been unable to conceive for three years. The wife's diagnosis indicated Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD). Despite undergoing conventional treatments, including hormonal therapy, their attempts were unsuccessful. The treatment strategy employed an approach called Uttar Basti alongside Prajasthapak Ghrita and Garbhaprada Yoga (a formulation supporting conception) administered orally. Notably, the outcome of this Ayurvedic intervention was the successful conception of the patient within just three months of treatment.

Background: One of the most significant and perilous challenges faced by African societies, including Tanzania, is the public health threat posed by zoonotic viruses. This study aimed to ascertain the presence of viruses in wild rodents, domestic dogs, and humans who shared the same environment. 
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Ngorongoro district from January to September 2022. Metagenomics next-generation sequencing technologies, including Illumina (MiSeq) and Oxford Nanopore (MinION), were employed to identify viruses in 530 blood samples collected from 200 humans, 230 wild rodents, and 100 domestic dogs. The captured wild rodents belonged to various species: Mastomys spp (n=87), Ratus spp (n=45), Avicanthis spp (n=40), Arcomys spp (n=28), Mus spp (n=16), and Field mice (n=14). The taxonomic classification of viruses was carried out using the Kraken2 program.
Results: A total of 20 RNA and 20 DNA viral families were detected. Zoonotic RNA families identified in rodents included Peribunyaviridae, Hantaviridae, Flaviviridae, Coronaviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Retroviridae, Picornaviridae, Arenaviridae, Togaviridae, and Tobaniviridae. The zoonotic DNA families detected in rodents were Adenoviridae, Poxviridae, Herpesviridae, Anelloviridae, and Circoviridae. Peribunyaviridae and Hataviridae were identified in both humans and rodents. Unclassified +ssRNA viruses were found in dogs and humans. Herpesviridae was present in all three hosts. When compared to dogs and humans, rodents harbored zoonotic viruses that pose a significant public health safety concern.
Conclusion: The study unveiled a noteworthy pattern where the majority of RNA and DNA viruses with zoonotic potential were detected in wild rodents, as opposed to dogs and humans. These findings underscore the pivotal role played by wild rodent populations in the transmission and maintenance of such viruses.
