Issue Area and Pluralization In Brazilian Foreign Policy: an Exploratory Study of Decision-Making Processes in the Fernando Henrique Cardoso Government
Authors: Maitino Martin Egon
Published: December 2023

Abstract The idea of ‘pluralization’—a new configuration of decision-making processes, characterized by Itamaraty’s relative loss of influence and the participation of various actors—became widespread in Brazilian foreign policy studies. Questioning the literature’s general framing of this transformation, we explore the hypothesis that pluralization varies depending on the issue area under analysis. We build upon a mechanism connecting domestic distributive effects to pluralization and apply process-tracing methods to analyze two “typical cases” associated with environmental and health issues: the Kyoto Protocol negotiations and the dispute on AIDS drug patents. We explore how issue areas interact with mechanisms affecting decision-unit dispersion and generate hypotheses to explain deviations from the model. The results contribute to discussing issue-area effects, a gap in the literature. Conceptualizing issue areas as subsystems, we identify relevant dimensions to think their relation to pluralization: technical knowledge, distribution and weight of power capabilities, expert communities, institutionalization, and past interactions within the subsystem.
Política Externa no Governo Bolsonaro (2019-2021): Disputas Discursivas e Rupturas Institucionais nas Políticas De Gênero*
Authors: Simioni Fabiane , Kyrillos Gabriela
Published: December 2023

Resumo O artigo investiga a Política Externa Brasileira (PEB) dos primeiros anos do governo Bolsonaro com relação às políticas de gênero e realiza uma revisão dos marcos conceituais da PEB e de gênero a partir das epistemologias feministas. Utiliza a metodologia da Análise de Conteúdo (AC), conforme proposta por Bardin (1977), para analisar um corpus textual não estruturado de 65 discursos oficiais. Encontra evidências que apontam significativas rupturas institucionais da “nova PEB”, entre 2019 e 2021. O combate à “ideologia de gênero” marca o reposicionamento neoconservador do Brasil nos planos doméstico e internacional, notadamente em relação às políticas de gênero, sexualidade e direitos humanos.
The diffusion of racial validation panels in public universities - institutions and organizational change
Authors: Dantas Adriana S. R. , Almeida Ana Maria F.
Published: December 2023

Abstract This article draws insights from the literature on institutional isomorphism and social movements theory to explain the diffusion in Brazil of procedures for validating the self-identification of candidates for admission to federal universities through racial quotas. The diffusion of these procedures has transformed how the right to affirmative action is understood and how it has led to organizational challenges. By analyzing documents and interviews, this article identifies the coercive, mimetic, and normative mechanisms at play. It shows that they derived from interactions among Black university students, staff, faculty members, and organizations of the black movement and state agencies, all engaged in protecting racial affirmative action. Implications for studying change in Brazil’s higher education and race relations are also discussed. Higher education and race relations in Brazil are also discussed.
MENTAL DEMANDS AND THRIVING OF OLDER WORKERS: THE ROLE OF WORK ABILITY
Authors: Sousa Inês C. , Baltazar Daniela
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT The aging of the working population and the increasing mental demands at work represent a challenge to the sustainability of working life and the organizations’ competitiveness. Research has focused on thriving at work as a proxy for career sustainability, particularly in its final phase. However, there is limited knowledge about the mechanisms underlying the relationship between thriving and its antecedents. This study aims to examine the mediating role of work ability in the relationship between mental demands at work and thriving among older workers. A sample of 163 workers responded to an online questionnaire. Results support the mediation hypothesis, but the direct effect of mental demands on thriving was insignificant, emphasizing the importance of work ability. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT An adequate use of brackish water in agricultural production is one of the main challenges for researchers and rural producers, since saline stress may cause physiological and nutritional changes in plants, affecting the crop yield. An appropriate mineral nutrition is essential for plants, grown under saline stress, to express their productive potential. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mineral nutrition and hydroponic kale production under saline stress and calcium nitrate. The experiment was carried out using one hydroponic system in substrate, following a randomized block design, with five treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of five nutrient solutions, with a control treatment {S1 = standard nutrient solution using low salinity water, 0.5 dS/m [750 mg/L of Ca(NO3)2]}, and four nutrient solutions prepared using brackish water (6.0 dS/m) containing four concentrations of Ca(NO3)2 (S2 = 750 mg/L, S3 = 1,125 mg/L, S4 = 1,500 mg/L, S5 = 1,875 mg/L). We determined the levels of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S in leaf tissue at three evaluation times (50, 64 and 78 DAT). Mineral levels in the leaves, stem and root were also evaluated at the end of the experiment (100 DAT). In addition, leaf production and the agronomic efficiency of Ca(NO3)2 were verified. The highest leaf production (1780 g/plant) and agronomic efficiency [2.37 g fresh matter/mg of Ca(NO3)2] were obtained in the standard nutrient solution, and both were reduced at 55.6% by salinity. The extra addition of 50% Ca(NO3)2 in the saline nutrient solution reduced the effect of salinity on Mg absorption and the effect of NaCl addition on kale production.
Multidimensional Peacekeeping: Local Peace does not last when National Peace Fails
Authors: Aguilar Sergio Luiz Cruz
Published: December 2023

Abstract The United Nations’ multidimensional operations have recently been authorised to use force to protect civilians. Among their peacekeeping activities are initiatives to deal with conflict management/resolution at the local level. While contemporary peacekeeping tends to be highly concentrated at the national level, it has increasingly striven to implement initiatives at the local level. However, local level operations face certain difficulties. To address this, the UN tends to focus on the initiatives, approaches, and strategies it employs at the local level, one of which is the use of force to protect civilians during peace operations. The present analysis revolves around the argument that ‘local peace’ will not last long unless a peace agreement is achieved and sustained at the national level, and, consequently, that the connection between peace and conflict at both the local and national levels is key to tackling conflicts. This paper uses primary documents, secondary sources, and interviews, as well as specific examples from operations in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic, to inductively confirm this argument, and discuss the difficulties that peace operations face on the issue.
A publicidade infantil de alimentos: desafios à gestão federal do SUS e oportunidades para a comunicação em saúde
Authors: Oliveira-Costa Mariella Silva de
Published: December 2023

Resumo Este estudo analisa a capacidade de as políticas públicas em saúde disputarem sentido na construção de mundo provocada pelos meios de comunicação e a regulamentação estatal da publicidade infantil de alimentos. Estes anúncios influenciam as escolhas alimentares das crianças, formando um paladar habituado ao consumo de ultraprocessados (prejudiciais à saúde) desde a infância. Por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa entrevistou gestoras em nível federal para compreender a agenda de fortalecimento da regulamentação da publicidade de alimentos destinados ao público infantil executada ao longo de uma década, que tem o intuito de fortalecer as ações de promoção da saúde e contribuir com a prevenção das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis. A influência da indústria de alimentos, por meio da indústria de comunicação, tem restringido o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas na área de alimentação no Brasil e o tema precisa de participação social pois a lei existe, mas não é aplicada.
Occupational Dentistry: the state of the art, indicating paths for health promotion in contemporary work contexts - scoping review
Authors: Dias Samara Maria Douets Vasconcelos Cunha , Pucca Junior Gilberto Alfredo , Carrer Fernanda Campos de Almeida , Vivacqua Amanda Beatriz Gonçalves
Published: December 2023

Abstract The field of Occupational Dentistry has considered theoretical-scientific ballast. This scoping review aims to reveal the state of the art on the subject in seven indexed research bases, considering almost 100 years of publications (1921-2020). Of the 337 productions initially identified, a cut was made for the last six years (2015-2021/January), applying the methodology proposed by the PRISMA extension for scope reviews (PRISMA-ScR). However, rapid review platforms used for decision making in formulating public policies or in improving health systems accounted for only 20 publications, whereas the sample of 34 productions revealed peculiarities: research favors work regimes; associates the field of study and practice with the stricto sensu model of occupational health; disregards broad and humanizing concepts in the field of Worker’s Health; tends to prioritize its own occupational dental health, and seems to reduce the concept of work accidents to illnesses. Such issues need to be overcome if the perspective is to remain at the forefront, promoting health and safety in contemporary work contexts, since, although the transversality of this field of knowledge and practices is evident, more is needed, daring to remove it from invisibility whether in private or public work organizations is necessary.

Evaluation of glass powder in the mitigation of the alkali-silica reaction (ASR)
Authors: Freitas Taís Oliveira Gonçalves , Dias Gabriela Silva , Borges Alexandre Lopes , Ferreira Fernanda Giannotti da Silva
Published: December 2023

Abstract The alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is one of the problems that can compromise concrete durability, as the chemical reactions between the reactive aggregate and concrete pore solution, specifically sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+) and hydroxyl (OH-) in the presence of moisture, trigger expansion and cracking of concrete elements. The use of pozzolanic materials, such as finely ground glass powder (particles smaller than 75μm), to partially replace cement has been widely studied and has demonstrated beneficial results. However, because the behavior of pozzolans towards ASR is not completely understood yet, this work evaluates the effect of incorporating ground glass powder into cementitious composites against ASR. To this end, 8% silica fume was used as a control admixture, and four levels of glass powder (10, 20, 30, and 50%) were incorporated into the cementitious mixture to partially replace cement. Expansion tests were carried out in accordance with NBR15577-4 (ABNT, 2018) on mortar bars using the accelerated test method to assess the mitigation of expansions. The results show that the expansions caused by ASR decreased with the increasing content of glass powder in the cement mixtures. Furthermore, only the 50% level reduced the expansions to a safe value according to the Brazilian standard.
Push-out tests: connections by adherence in the context of latticed joist slabs

Published: December 2023

Abstract Composite structures and precast solutions stand out because they lead to simple, fast erected and economic constructions. In steel-concrete composite construction, shear connectors are used to assure the shear transfer between the steel profile and the concrete slab, enabling the composite action to develop. This paper discusses an innovative technology for connection by adherence, whose resistance is due to friction on various steel-concrete interfaces. The authors consider that this type of shear connection is suitable for composite beams with latticed joists slabs, and the study developed intends to analyze the behavior of the proposed connection, in this application's context, through experimental and numerical approaches. For this purpose, push-out specimens were fabricated and tested in accordance with Eurocode-4 requirements, where the connection behavior is analyzed in terms of its load-slip relation, and the failure modes are identified. Experimental and numerical results allowed to induce that the connector by adherence made with a checkered steel plate is appropriate to be used in composite structures, as it exhibits satisfactory shear resistance and ductility performance. Also, specimens with latticed joist slabs presented average load capacity values with the same magnitude as the average load capacity obtained in models with solid slabs, despite being more prone to cracking. From the parametric study, an increase of 100% in the connector height implied strength increase from 16% to 25%, depending on slab type.

Abstract A male of Pteronura brasiliensis (Carnivora: Mustelidae) was found dead on the banks of the Rio Negro, in the Pantanal wetlands of Mato Grosso do Sul state, Aquidauana municipality. Two ticks found attached to its skin were morphologically identified as a second-instar nymph of Ornithodoros rostratus (Argasidae) and a male of Amblyomma sculptum (Ixodidae). In order to complement the morphological identification, these tick specimens were subjected to DNA extraction, and tested using PCR assays to confirm the molecular identity the specimens. Also, the tick DNA samples were tested and were negative in the PCR assays for all the pathogens tested. We also examined 30 batches, consisting of 174 individuals of O. rostratus deposited in the Acari Collection of the Butantan Institute, and we found material from four Brazilian states, including one batch containing 2 males and 2 females from Aquidauana, of Mato Grosso do Sul state, collected from the soil. This was therefore the first record of O. rostratus parasitizing P. brasiliensis and the first locality record (Aquidauana). Likewise, A. sculptum is commonly found in the Pantanal and is reported here for the second time parasitizing the giant otter, which is a host little studied regarding the ectoparasites.

Objetivando avaliar o efeito do eugenol na produção in vitro de embriões ovinos. Os oócitos, foram aspirados e levados para a maturação in vitro (MIV), onde foram divididos em 4 grupos: o CON (controle), no qual os oócitos foram imersos em meio, sem antioxidante, já nos grupos EU10, EU20, EU40 foi utilizado o mesmo meio do grupo CON, acrescido de 10, 20 e 40 µM de eugenol, respectivamente. Foi avaliado o grau de expansão das células do cumulus. Após isso, os oócitos seguiram para a fecundação in vitro e cultivo in vitro, sendo, ao final desse processo, avaliada a taxa de estruturas clivadas. Em relação à taxa de expansão das células do cumulus, o grupo CON apresentou maiores taxas, quando comparado aos grupos adicionados de eugenol. Avaliando os oócitos com células do cumulus totalmente expandidas, somente o grupo EU40, apresentou-se menor, quando comparado ao restante dos grupos de tratamento. Já observando os oócitos com células do cumulus parcialmente expandidas, o grupo EU40, apresentou maiores percentuais de expansão, quando comparado aos demais tratamentos. Sobre a presença do primeiro corpúsculo polar nos oócitos, observou-se que não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos de tratamentos. E, por último, em relação às estruturas clivadas, os grupos CON e EU10 apresentaram as maiores taxas, quando comparado aos grupos EU20 e EU40. Dessa maneira, foi possível concluir que a utilização de 10 µM de eugenol na MIV de oócitos ovinos apresentou ser a melhor concentração dessa substância.
DECISION THEORETIC BOOTSTRAPPING

Published: December 2023

The design and testing of supervised machine learning models combine two fundamental distributions: (1) the training data distribution and (2) the testing data distribution. Although these two distributions are identical and identifiable when the data set is infinite, they are imperfectly known when the data are finite (and possibly corrupted), and this uncertainty must be taken into account for robust uncertainty quantification (UQ). An important case is when the test distribution is coming from a modal or localized area of the finite sample distribution. We present a general decision theoretic bootstrapping solution to this problem: (1) partition the available data into a training subset and a UQ subset; (2) take m subsampled subsets of the training set and train m models; (3) partition the UQ set into n sorted subsets and take a random fraction of them to define n corresponding empirical distributions μj; (4) consider the adversarial game where Player I selects a model i ∈ {1,.....,m}, Player II selects the UQ distribution μj, and Player I receives a loss defined by evaluating the model i against data points sampled from μj; (5) identify optimal mixed strategies (probability distributions over models and UQ distributions) for both players. These randomized optimal mixed strategies provide optimal model mixtures, and UQ estimates given the adversarial uncertainty of the training and testing distributions represented by the game. The proposed approach provides (1) some degree of robustness to in-sample distribution localization/concentration and (2) conditional probability distributions on the output space forming aleatory representations of the uncertainty on the output as a function of the input variable.

mimarlık ile ilgili teorik ve pratik bilgileri içermesinin yanı sıra terminoloji ve yapı bilgisi

bakımından klasik arkeoloji için de temel kaynak olma hüviyetindedir. Diğer bir taraftan

Vitruvius’un özellikle ilk kitabında ele aldığı hususlar felsefe tarihi açısından dikkate

değer gözükmektedir. Çünkü o, bu bölümde bir mimarın alması gereken eğitimlerden

bahsederken felsefeye de yer verir. Bu durumun neden ve amaçları ilgili bölümde kısaca

Published: December 2023

The development of food export and transformation of its structure with a predominance of deep processed products is a priority goal of the Russian agri-food sector. In this regard, it is necessary to find ways to restructure food production for ensuring the country’s food security and increasing its export potential. The study aims to identify key factors affecting agricultural exports, as well as to substantiate the role of state support in creating a regional strategy for the development of industries processing agricultural raw materials. To this end, statistical research methods were applied, in particular, a multiple regression model was constructed to assess the influence of the selected factors on Russian food export considering its regional diversity. The factors affecting exports can be divided into market (food industry output, population income, agricultural output, food imports, budget expenditures) and state ones (direct budgetary transfers to agricultural producers and subsidies to regions). The research concluded that direct state support to agricultural producers has the biggest impact on food exports. The study justified the need to restructure the system of state support to improve production efficiency and competitiveness of products and proposed a set of potentially effective tools for achieving this goal. The methodological approach and research findings can be used to establish a strategy for the development of the food and processing industry of the domestic agri-food sector at the federal and regional levels. At the same time, it is required to further study methodological aspects of the distribution of state support to the food industry across Russian regions, as well as to define criteria and principles of its intersectoral and interregional division.

Published: December 2023

The reaction of complexation of N-(benzoyl)-N'-(phenylsulfonyl)hydrazine with Cu(II) ions in an ammonia medium has been studied. The absorption spectra of the reagent and its complex with Cu(II) ions have been recorded and analyzed. The optimal conditions for the formation of the complex compound were found: the pH range of complex formation; optimal time for color development; amount of photometric reagent. Under optimal conditions for the complex formation of BPSH with Cu(II) ions, a calibration graph was constructed. The Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law is fulfilled in the range from 0,5 to 1,75 mg Cu(II) in 25 ml of solution. The true (19389) and apparent (4708) molar light absorption coefficients were calculated. The methods of saturation, equilibrium shift, curve intersection, isomolar series, and conductometric titration were used to determine the molar ratios in a solution of a complex compound – [Сu(II)]:[BFSH] = 1:1 and 1:2. According to the Babko method, the conditional stability constant of the complex was calculated – 2,45∙1013. The convergence and correctness of the spectrophotometric technique were determined by the method of mathematical statistics.

Published: December 2023

Aliphatic hydrocarbons in PM2.5 samples from a residential area of Lagos, Nigeria, were quantified using a Curie-point pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (CPPGC/MS). The total concentrations of ∑n-alkanes (C20-C34), hopanes (∑4Hopanes), and steranes (∑3Steranes) ranged from 1.8 to 146.6 ng m-3 (avg. 43.6 ± 35.1 ng m-3), 0.0 to 89.9 ng m-3 (avg. 18.7 ± 25.9 ng m-3), and 0.0 to 26.0 ng m-3 (avg. 3.3 ± 6.7 ng m-3), accounting for 0.2%, 0.1%, and 0.01% of the total PM2.5 mass concentrations, respectively. They also accounted for, 1%, 0.4% and 0.1% of the organic matter content, respectively, making them non-negligible component of the organic matter in this region. An evaluation of the n-alkanes source diagnostic indices revealed that engines powered by gasoline and diesel were the main sources of particulate matter aliphatic hydrocarbons in this area of Lagos, consistent with the results obtained from steranes and hopanes profiles. Based on the air mass trajectories, both local and regional air mass transports showed a significant influence on the amounts of carbonaceous materials and aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds arriving at the study site. The results from this study established the occurrence of anthropogenic air pollution in Lagos residential area with a major contribution from petrogenic sources.

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH, a model for sleep apnea) is a major risk factor for several cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Autonomic imbalance (sympathetic overactivity and parasympathetic withdrawal) has emerged as a causal contributor of CIH-induced CVD. Previously, we showed that CIH remodels the parasympathetic pathway. However, whether CIH induces remodeling of the cardiac sympathetic innervation remains unknown. Mice (male, C57BL/6J, 2-3 months) were exposed to either room air (RA, 21% O2) or CIH (alternating 21% and 5.7% O2, every 6 min, 10h/day) for 8-10 weeks. Flat-mounts of their left and right atria were immunohistochemically labeled for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, a sympathetic marker). Using a confocal microscope (or a Zeiss M2 Imager) and a Neurolucida 360 digitization and tracing system, we scanned both the left and right atria and quantitatively analyzed the sympathetic axon density in both groups. The segmentation data was mapped onto a 3D mouse heart scaffold using the NIH SPARC Scaffold Mapping tool. Our findings indicated that CIH significantly remodeled the TH-IR innervation of the atria by increasing its density at the sinoatrial node, the auricles, and the major veins attached to the atria (p <0.05, n=7). Additionally, CIH increased the branching points of TH-IR axons while decreasing the distance between varicosities. Following CIH, abnormal patterns of TH-IR axons around intrinsic cardiac ganglia were also found. We postulate that the increased sympathetic innervation may further amplify the effects of enhanced CIH-induced central sympathetic drive to the heart. Our work provides an anatomical foundation for the understanding of CIH-induced autonomic imbalance. The data generated with this protocol will be available on the SPARC portal at https://doi.org/10.26275/qdv4-0vx5

The joint quality performance of AA6061-T651 friction stir weldments had been investigated in this study through addition of pulverized waste glass (PWG), palm kernel shell ash (PKSA) and synthetic silicon carbide (SSC) with a bid to enhancing some selected mechanical properties. Optimized processing parameters which include 1120 rpm rotational speed, 40 mm/min traverse speed, 1.5o tilt angle) and optimum reinforcement strategy (parallel hole) established from a preliminary investigation were utilized for the friction stir welding. The mechanical properties such as the tensile strength, hardness and impact energy were then further investigated. The results showed that the mechanical properties of all the reinforced welded joints improved significantly than the unreinforced joint having a relatively reduced joint performance of 132 MPa tensile strength, hardness of 45.3 HRB and impact energy of 39.4 J. The PWG-reinforced friction stir welded joint performed optimally at a tensile strength of 212.7 MPa, 72 HRB hardness and 54.5 J impact energy followed by the SSC-reinforced joint which exhibited 173.7 MPa tensile strength, 54.8 HRB hardness and impact energy of 41.7 J. Hence, 80%, 59% and 38% joint performance was exhibited through tensile strength, hardness and impact energy of PWG-reinforced friction stir weldments of AA6061-T651 against the unreinforced weldments.

Thanks to the highlighted advantages of the construction method, including digitalization and automation, sustainable materials, and environmental protection, 3D concrete printing technology has been a hot topic for a few decades. This construction method was initially used in small and non-structural applications and is now being adopted for large-scale structures. This transition requires a lot of research on the structural behavior of structures. Therefore, the study focuses on the behavior of wide beams, which is the primary element in the structure system. Nine wide beams with different glass/steel fiber amounts were printed, and 3-point loading tests were conducted. The failure mode, flexural strength, deflection, and ductility were reported in this study. In this study, the girder web was designed in the style of truss beams, and glass/steel fibers were used. The fibers, including glass and steel fiber, will enhance the beams' flexural strength and ductility. The results showed that (1) The adhesion force between the printed layers ensures the overall working of the wide beams; (2) The failure patterns of glass fiber beams were brittle; glass fibers show insignificant improvement in compressive strength; the flexural capacity was significantly enhanced, and the optimal steel fiber amount is 1.0%. (3) The failure patterns of steel fiber beams were ductile; steel fibers showed light improvement in compressive strength. The steel fiber significantly impacted the flexural strength. The optimum amount of steel fibers was determined to be ranged from 1.0% to 1.5%.

The correlation between structural and optical properties of an Au, ITO, and ITO/Au/ITO (IUI), gold, indium tin oxide, and indium tin oxide/gold/indium tin oxide, respectively, sandwich structure thin film has been reported in this study. The deposition of all samples onto glass substrates was carried out using D.C. magnetron sputtering, without the use of substrate heating, and the intermediate layer was a metallic gold film with an 8 nm thickness. The substrate-target distance in the IUI structure was kept constant at 8 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are often utilized techniques for the evaluation of the structural and surface morphology of films. The optical properties of the films were demonstrated by a spectrophotometer (UV/vis/NIR) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) techniques adopted for the new amorphous model, and the findings were compared with those between 200 and 2200 nm, where the wavelengths overlap at room temperature, which is the purpose of the present work. The observed and estimated optical constant values of the Au, ITO, and IUI films using the best dispersion model were reported. In addition, the transmission and reflection spectrum results of the films were compared with those obtained by UV measurements. Excellent correlations for the optical constant properties of the multilayer films were observed employing two distinct approaches. These thin films have great promises for the future of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) and even industrial applications

Published: December 2023

To diminish the environmental impact of enormous waste tires and reduce the concrete cost, crumb rubber (CR) was utilized to replace concrete aggregates. The CR and sand sizes were sieved and separated. Moreover, the CR was pre-coated with silica fume slurry, having a water-to-cement ratio of 0.55. The coated and uncoated CR was used as a partial replacement of sand by five percentages (0, 5, 10, 20, and 25% by volume). Cubes and cylinders were cast and then cured in water tanks until the date of testing. The compressive strength of the control and rubberized concrete (RuC) samples was measured at 7, 28, and 56 days, the tensile strength was obtained at 28 days, and the water absorption was measured at 56 days. Replacing sand with a 2.36 mm particle size with the same CR size showed lower effects on the concrete compressive strength than replacing sand with 1.18 mm CR. Moreover, replacing sand with 5% pre-coated CR (particle size 1.18 mm) enhanced the compressive strength (fcu) by 104.88, 100.44 and 101.9% at 7, 28, and 56 days, respectively, compared to the subsequent mixes with uncoated CR while at 10% pre-coated CR content, the fcu enhancement was 118.3, 108.53, and 104.80%, respectively.

The Russian War Against Ukraine and Its Implications for the Future of Liberal Interventionism
Authors: Geis Anna , Schröder Ursula
Published: December 2023

The Russian war against Ukraine has already had crucial implications for the future of liberal interventionism. Drawing on current debates in IR about the transformation of the global world order, the article outlines how processes of global reordering affect (liberal) interventionism at different scales. The article argues that what has become known as the liberal international order is in retreat, at the expense of liberal peace-oriented international interventions. At the same time, current geopolitical realignments appear to be dividing the world into new spheres of influence, pitting democracies against autocracies at the global level and within regional conflicts. However, when it comes to security interventions and peacekeeping, the emerging realities on the ground, where a growing number of actors with different agendas interact, are more complex than simplistic world-order narratives suggest. Using the cases of international peacekeeping and security assistance as examples, the article shows that in some current international intervention sites, the emerging “multi-order world” is characterised by complicated constellations of parallel external assistance offers and rapid shifts in allegiances that do not necessarily follow clear divisions between “authoritarian” and “liberal” forms of assistance. The article therefore does not confirm expectations of the emergence of a “new Cold War” and a new round of ideological competition between international systems.
From Counterterrorism to Deterrence: The Evolution of Canada’s and Italy’s Defense Postures
Authors: Massie Justin , Munier Marco
Published: December 2023

How do US democratic allies perceive and adapt to the multiple challenges associated with the rise of multipolarity and the return of major war in Europe? This article examines how two US allies—Canada and Italy—have adapted their defense postures from the professed beginning of the shift in the balance of power in 2008 to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. More specifically, it provides a comparison of three major dimensions of defense postures: threat perceptions, patterns of foreign military deployments, and military expenditures. This article argues that both allies have undertaken a shift from liberal interventionism towards a defense posture increasingly geared towards deterrence vis-à-vis Russia. However, the shift did not occur analogously and simultaneously, as the two allies’ adjustment was shaped by differing levels of domestic inter-party contestation. This article highlights the extent to which US allies’ international security adaptation follows political-party threat perceptions more than the traditional left-right dichotomy. Shared inter-party threat perceptions of great power revisionism are found to shape the degree of defense policy adaptation toward great power competition.
