Authors: Vieira Marcelo , Araújo Raphael , Eduardo da Cunha Mattos de Andrade Carlos , Schmidt Ronaldo , Lopes Filho Agnaldo , dos Reis Ricardo
Published: April 2020

Background: The complications inherent to conization include vaginal bleeding, cervical stenosis, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and deep dyspareunia. Cervical stenosis is the most critical complication due to clinical repercussions. Studies show rates of cervical stenosis ranging from 1.3 to 19% after LEEP. Objective: Randomized controlled trial (RCT) data is need comparing the use of a new anti-stenosis cervical device in the treatment of cervical precursor lesions. Our primary outcome was to compare the role of a new endocervical device to prevent cervical stenosis after LEEP in patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) by the conduct of a randomized clinical trial. Study design: According to the standards of randomized clinical trials, we performed phases I and II on the new cervical device. In Phase I, we included 25 patients who underwent conization and placement of the device to assess its toxicity. In phase II, we compared two groups (with and without the use of an anti-stenosis device) to evaluate its efficacy and safety. Results: From August 2015 to June 2018, 265 participants were randomized (Phase I: 25, Phase II: 120 with DUDA ́s device and 120 without DUDA ́s device). The toxicity during phase I was observed in only one patient (4%) with pain grade > 7. There were 7 cases of toxicity during Phase II, 2 in the DUDA group (1.8%), and 5 in the No DUDA group (4.5%). The No DUDA group had a 2.5x higher complication rate than the DUDA group (p=0.52). When comparing the evolution at 3, 6, and 12 months in terms of cervical patency and visualization of the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) during colposcopy, we did not find a significant difference. The DUDA group exhibited 15% to 19% nonvisualization of the SCJ, whereas that rate ranged from 10 to 12% in the No DUDA group. Conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference between the use or non- use of the antistenosis device to prevent cervical stenosis. This study opens up space for a discussion of cervical stenosis related to the type of conization performed and the use of antistenosis devices to help lower the stenosis rate.

False news around COVID-19 circulated less on Sina Weibo than on Twitter. How to overcome false information?
Authors: Pulido Rodríguez Cristina , Villarejo Carballido Beatriz , Redondo-Sama Gisela , Guo Mengna , Ramis Mimar , Flecha Ramon
Published: April 2020

Since the Coronavirus health emergency was declared, many are the fake news that have circulated around this topic, including rumours, conspiracy theories and myths. According to the World Economic Forum, fake news is one of the threats in today's societies, since this type of information circulates fast and is often inaccurate and misleading. Moreover, fake-news are far more shared than evidence-based news among social media users and thus, this can potentially lead to decisions that do not consider the individual’s best interest. Drawing from this evidence, the present study aims at comparing the type of Tweets and Sina Weibo posts regarding COVID-19 that contain either false or scientific veracious information. To that end 1923 messages from each social media were retrieved, classified and compared. Results show that there is more false news published and shared on Twitter than in Sina Weibo, at the same time science-based evidence is more shared on Twitter than in Weibo but less than false news. This stresses the need to find effective practices to limit the circulation of false information.

Introduction. According to the recommendations of Russian and international professional associations, treatment of germinomas can be initiated without histological verification of the diagnosis, since it can be based on biochemical tumor markers. However, patients with brain germinomas usually have normal levels of these markers; therefore, histological verification is required. Stereotactic biopsy and transcranial biopsy are sometimes associated with a risk of damage to crucial anatomical structures. Currently, both biopsy and total removal of sellar and parasellar tumors can be performed via endoscopic endonasal approach.

The study objective is to demonstrate the possibility of using endoscopic transsphenoidal approach for biopsy and total removal of chiasmosellar germinomas.

Materials and methods. Thirteen patients with primary chiasmosellar germinomas underwent endoscopic endonasal interventions in N. N. Burdenko National Medical Research Center for Neurosurgery between 2010 and 2017. The “Germinoma-2008” protocol was used in the subsequent treatment of these patients. The male to female ratio was 2.25 : 1; mean age was 21.1 years (6–38 years).

Results. The surgery volume varied between biopsy (n = 4) and partial (n = 5) or complete (n = 4) tumor removal. The diagnosis was histologically verified in all patients. None of the patients developed liquorrhea and / or meningitis in the postoperative period, which suggests that the surgery was effective and safe.

Conclusion. The endoscopic endonasal approach for histological verification of the diagnosis and removal of chiasmosellar germinomas is safe and effective.

Authors: Polat Doğan Şafak
Published: April 2020

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’nin Suriye’de hibrit ortamda harekât hususunda edindiği tecrübenin pek çok devlete göre daha fazla olduğunu, bölgedeki siyasi etkisini arttırdığını ve dolayısıyla Suriye’nin iç savaş sonrası yeniden yapılanma sürecinde söz sahibi olacağını göstermektir. ABD, Suriye’nin kuzeyinde şimdilik otonom bir Kürt bölgesi oluşturmak istemekte ve Türkiye’nin tüm itirazlarına rağmen bölgede PKK’nın Suriye kolu PYD/ YPG ya da kendi isimlendirmesiyle Suriye Demokratik Güçleri (SDG) ile ittifak yaparak DEAŞ ile savaşmaktadır. ABD, PYD/YPG’ye, silah ve para dâhil her türlü yardımı yapmıştır. Türkiye ise bu durumu bekası açısından tehdit olarak görmüş ve Özgür Suriye Ordusu (ÖSO) ile uluslararası hukuka uygun olarak 24 Ağustos 2016 tarihinde önce Fırat Kalkanı Harekâtını; sonrasında ise 20 Ocak 2018 tarihinde Zeytin Dalı Harekâtını ve son olarak 9 Ekim 2019 tarihinde Barış Pınarı Harekâtını gerçekleştirmiştir. Her üç harekâtın da amacı bölgeyi teröristlerden temizlemek ve Suriye’nin toprak bütünlüğünün gözetilerek ülkede istikrarın yeniden oluşturulmasına katkı sağlamak olarak belirlenmiştir.

The Post-War Reconstruction of the Ecclesiastical Building in Italy
Authors: Pirro Michela
Published: April 2020

Although we consider the Second Vatican Council the final destination of a path of renewal for the history of contemporary sacred art, it is, however, necessary to focus on its preparatory phase during the years of post-war reconstruction.Though the first impulse to this process was given with the institution of the Pontifical Central Commission for Sacred Art (PCCSA), strongly desired by Pius XI, whose purpose was to maintain «a sense of Christian art», the key figure for the formation of the artists first, and then for the complex task of directing the reconstruction works of all the ecclesiastical buildings devastated by the fury of the war, was Msgr. Giovanni Costantini, third president of the PCCSA.This contribution aims to highlight, through a comparative reading of unpublished archival sources, relating to the Abruzzo region, and consolidated literature, what were the dictates of the PCCSA regarding interventions on existing buildings and how they influenced the results that arose during the first period of reconstruction (1945-56).
La renovación litúrgica de las iglesias en España tras el Concilio Vaticano II
Authors: Fernández-Cobián Esteban
Published: April 2020

A finales de los años sesenta, comenzó en todo el mundo un proceso de reforma interior de las iglesias católicas que pretendía responder a las modificaciones litúrgicas implementadas durante el Concilio Vaticano II. Cincuenta años después, el proceso sigue siendo muy problemático, especialmente en los edificios con un alto valor patrimonial.Este artículo se propone explorar los fundamentos conceptuales y legales, tanto de origen eclesiástico como civil, que han venido respaldando estas actuaciones en España, así como los procedimientos que se utilizan hoy en día para intervenir litúrgicamente en la arquitectura religiosa preconciliar. Ya que la revista ARA fue la voz más autorizada de la época en este campo, la labor divulgadora de fray José Manuel de Aguilar y sus colaboradores se utilizará como hilo conductor del texto.
Parish Churches, Patrimony of the Community or of the Diocese?
Authors: Zito Carla
Published: April 2020

My intervention was born as a reflection on the Census of churches of Turin diocese, organized by the CEI (Italian Episcopal Conference). Through my studies, I’ve observed the case of Turin ecclesiastical heritage built in the second half of the 20th century. A great number of places of worship have changed their historical validity due to arbitrariness of choices and interventions.I’ve always supported the thesis that this religious buildings are an important patrimony for the urban history and expression of the pastoral liturgy of the diocese in Italy and that the community is fundamental to the birth and the management of a parish centre. Now I think that it is necessary to consolidate project strategies and fix best-practices to preserve the ecclesiastic heritage from everyone’s action.Generally speaking, what contemporary buildings can be part of the Church heritage? How far can priests and communities decide, independently, to intervene?
Más allá de la penumbra
Authors: Della Longa Giorgio
Published: April 2020

En Italia, el tema de la adaptación de las iglesias a la reforma litúrgica es objeto d documentos oficiales de la Iglesia local, pero también es un argumento que se encuentra constantemente en el centro de atención de la opinión pública y no solo de los especialistas. Con menos conciencia, el tema de la iluminación artificial de las iglesias se considera un factor que contribuye a la adaptación de los espacios litúrgicos a la reforma conciliar. Un elemento, la iluminación artificial, que puede producir innovación operando discretamente en el contexto material del edificio en beneficio de la conservación. Se trata de un tema no sencillo, que este breve ensayo contextualiza también con la ayuda del examen de intervenciones recientes llevadas a cabo por el autor en iglesias de valor histórico y artístico.

Bu çalışmada Kilis Devlet Hastanesinde yatan hastalardan izole edilen Enterobacteriaceae bakterilerin tanımlanması ve izolatların GSBL üretimi profillerinin belirlenmesi çalışılmıştır. İzolatların hücre bileşenleri FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spektroskopisi kullanılarak (4000-400 cm-1) tespit edilmiştir. Suşların GSBL üretim profilleri sefotetan-kloksasilin, sefepim-klavulanik asit, sefotaksim- klavulanik asit ve seftazidim- klavulanik asit E test şeritleri ile incelenmiştir. E-şerit sonuçlarına göre sadece 5 hastane izolatından sadece Enterik olarak tanımlanan suşun GSBL üreticisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Salmonella spp. için sefotetan/sefotetan+kloksasilin oranın ≥8 µg/mL olması suşun Ambler sınıflandırmasında C grubu (AmpC) beta-laktamaz üreticisi olduğuna işaret etmektedir. FTIR spektroskopisinin bakterilerin hücre bileşenlerinin incelenmesinde rutin olarak kullanılabileceği ancak yakın türlerin tanımlanmasında başarılı bir yöntem olmadığı ortaya konmaktadır.
Use of “Comment Bubbles” in a Writing-intensive, Social and Economic Justice Course
Authors: Sanchez Ninive , Corbin Megan , Norka Alexander
Published: April 2020

A central question among instructors teaching writing-intensive courses is how to best respond to student writing. This study posits that the margin of the essay should not be reserved for instructor feedback only, and that allowing students to comment on their writing choices in this space has pedagogical aims. This study examined the use of “comment bubbles” to engage students in thinking about their writing choices in argumentative writing in an undergraduate social and economic justice course. Comment bubbles are comments and questions students inserted in the margin of their essays using the comment function in Microsoft Word. The margin of student essays was framed as a safe writing environment to encourage student self-expression beyond that already expressed in the essay. A thematic analysis of student comment bubbles found that students used the comment bubbles to react to research they read in journal articles, elaborate on their writing choices, share their personal experiences, and reflect on their future career interests. Allowing students to comment on their writing choices in this space facilitates student self-expression, self-reflection, and critical thinking.
A Survey of the Mobile Phone-Based Interventions for Violence Prevention Among Women
Authors: Sinha Sunny , Shrivastava Aviral , Paradis Christiana
Published: April 2020

Information Communication Technologies (ICT), particularly mobile phone technology, has increased the propinquity between individuals by enhancing their ability to frequently communicate with one another through different mediums, like text, audio, video, and emojis. Cell phone technology is being used to combat various social issues, including several public health-related problems such as violence against women. Over the past two decades several cellphone-based apps, including Circle of 6, MyPlan, Panic Button, and Aspire News have been developed in several countries to prevent violence against women. Anecdotal evidence suggests that these apps are effective both as violence prevention and as an intervention tool in public as well as private spaces. However, very little awareness exists among social workers about these mobile phone applications (apps), particularly the capabilities and limitations of these apps. Based on a brief survey and classification of the existing mobile phone apps designed to prevent violence against women, this paper aims to explain how these apps work, and point out their capabilities and limitations so that social workers and public health professionals can better guide their clients in using these technology-based services. It is highly recommended that social workers evaluate how their clients are affected by the use or non-use of violence prevention apps and advocate for their client’s right to digital literacy and internet access.
Self-Change in Facilitating Empowerment
Authors: Kranke Derrick
Published: April 2020

Youth empowerment is a critical research area because it has implications for reducing adolescent mental health stigma while improving their life trajectory, engagement in treatment and meaningful opportunities, and increasing self-esteem. The present inquiry is derived from a larger study and strives to enhance knowledge of youth empowerment by using Frank’s rhetoric of self-change—a form of narrative analysis—to understand events and reactive experiences of illness as occasions for changing the self. This narrative approach facilitated the development of a youth empowerment process because of its ability to identify similar characteristics across the three cases of youths included in this analysis. Actively participating in age/developmentally appropriate activities put the adolescents on a trajectory towards attaining milestones in a timely manner coinciding with the developmental timeline of peers without mental health issues. Additional research is needed to understand how the identified factors promote empowerment among adolescents with mental health issues. Narrative research has implications for clinical social work because it illuminates strengths that can be beneficial in promoting positive interventions.
Inclusive Education for Children with Intellectual Disability (ID) in Ghana
Authors: Mills Abigail Adubea
Published: April 2020

Inclusive education in Ghana is in its infancy. Due to the wide array of challenges that may be encountered in the effort to implement inclusive education, programs are needed that involve a cross-section of professionals including social workers. In this study, in-depth face-to-face interviews were used to collect data from 15 educators and social workers about the challenges associated with inclusive education for children with intellectual disability (ID) in Ghana and the implications that these challenges have for social work practice in the education system. Some key roles that social workers can play in inclusive education in Ghana include intensifying public awareness to curb misconceptions about IDs, and serving as liaisons between the school, home, and community. A system is needed that fosters effective collaboration between educators and social workers to enhance educational outcomes for children with ID in inclusive school settings in Ghana.

Published: April 2020

Puerto Rican fathers remain an understudied population despite the growing Latino community in the U.S. Understanding how Puerto Rican fathers perceive their roles as fathers can inform our conceptualization of their engagement with children as well as the development of culturally-specific parenting interventions. In this qualitative study, focus groups were conducted with Puerto Rican men to identify their perceptions of their role as a father and how individual, child, and cultural influences may relate to these roles. Parenting roles identified by fathers in the study were: being there, maintaining open communication, building confidence, preparing for adulthood, teaching culture/values, and providing a role model for their children. The study also explored father and child characteristics, history with their own father, and a hybrid cultural perspective as influences on Puerto Rican fathers’ perceptions of their parenting roles. Due to the increasing population of Puerto Rican and other Latino sub-groups, providers and social workers working with Puerto Rican families should understanding the perceived parenting roles within families to better engage and support fathers and families within this growing population.
Transformative Learning and Inclusion in a Global Social Work Course
Authors: Pittman Joan , Gioia Deborah
Published: April 2020

As there are many types of global learning experiences for students, understanding best practices is critical in resource allocation and developing competencies. Additionally, diversifying global education is essential in addressing unequal student access and improving cross-cultural competence. This paper describes a short-term international course with graduate students from social work, public health, and nursing. Nine students participated in semi-structured interviews about the impact of the course on their lives. Transformative learning theory emerged as an important pedagogical guide as students described transformations in lifestyle and perspectives that developed through experiential learning. Recommendations for improving learning and increasing cultural and interprofessional learning include having guided group discussions on critical incidents, using a critical reflection process focused on cultural assumptions, and focusing on the psychological, convictional, and behavioral dimensions of learning. Traditionally underrepresented students described barriers related to international study, further emphasizing the importance of encouraging underrepresented students to pursue global opportunities through mentoring, targeted marketing, and making international experiences affordable and logistically feasible. Inclusion of students from different backgrounds in international courses is not only important in promoting social justice, but also enhances cross-cultural skill development and learning.
Knowledge That Changes Social Work Practice
Authors: Sichling Florian , O’Brien Diane Beckerle
Published: April 2020

There is continuing interest in the relationship between knowledge and practice in social work. Overly narrow conceptualizations of the EBP model deepened the gap between practice knowledge and formal research evidence in the profession. While much has been written about the dissemination and adaptation of research findings to practice, much less is known about the actual sources of knowledge social workers draw on in their practice. This paper reports findings from an exploratory survey about the sources and content of knowledge that changed professional practice among social work field instructors (n=250) in St. Louis. An analysis of open-ended responses revealed that co-workers and continuing education programs are the most important sources for knowledge and information that influence practice. While academic journals are perceived by practitioners to be relatively unimportant sources for such knowledge, research findings on the background and effectiveness of interventions, make up the primary content that appears to affect social work practice. The findings suggest that formal research knowledge is important but that it is primarily accessed through professional networks and training programs instead of directly from peer-reviewed journals. Social media platforms seemed to be insignificant sources for professional knowledge. These insights raise important questions about how social workers use social media and the role of occupational networks and associations for the dissemination of research findings. Finally, our findings suggest that agencies and researchers think more purposefully about the infusion of knowledge into practice through opportunities for professional socialization, the use of research briefs, and open-access, peer-reviewed journals.
A Matter of Trust
Authors: Bonanno Rebecca , Veselak Kristina
Published: April 2020

Mental health problems among children and adolescents are widespread. Parents seeking information about child mental health problems and treatments face numerous barriers, including fear of stigmatization and uncertainty about where to seek help. In this qualitative study, seven parents whose children had experienced a mental health, behavioral, or emotional problem were interviewed about their attitudes and beliefs about child mental health information sources. Analysis revealed that the concept of trust was an overarching theme in parents’ pursuit and evaluation of information. Related themes included a preference for information from other parents with experience parenting a child with a mental health problem; seeking information from knowledgeable professionals with whom the parents had personal relationships; concerns about confidentiality and protection of privacy; and involvement of school personnel when seeking mental health information and help. Findings support the need for improved mental health literacy among parents and suggest that social workers should play a more active role in educating families and service providers about child mental health.

Published: April 2020

A desigualdade entre gêneros é um fator visualizado, desde a antiguidade, em diversos setores, inclusive no jornalismo e no esporte. A partir desta perspectiva, este estudo é focado na observação da percepção dos espectadores sobre a atuação das mulheres como apresentadoras do JN em reportagens esportivas e da forma como estes espectadores verificam a representação da mulher no telejornal. O lugar da mulher, especialmente no jornalismo esportivo, vem crescendo exponencialmente com o tempo. Se antes eram vistas muito por sua aparência física, hoje vêm, cada vez mais, ganhando espaço e sendo reconhecidas por seu conhecimento, desenvoltura e habilidade frente às câmeras, muitas vezes superando homens e demonstrando que futebol, assim como todos os esportes, também é assunto feminino.

Published: April 2020

Esta pesquisa focaliza a publicidade pela perspectiva das pedagogias culturais embasada nas teorias pós-críticas em educação. Propomo-nos a analisar o modo como as meninas em trânsito para a vida adulta (menina/mulher) se apro¬priam da imagem publicitária a elas direcionada a fim de investigar as pedagogias culturais e os saberes compartilhados nos processos de rejeição e identificação produzidos nas mediações com a publicidade. Com tal propósito, selecionamos como objeto duas mensagens publicitárias da marca Capricho (CH) veiculadas nas redes sociais. Nesta perspectiva, foram realizadas duas sessões de grupo focal com pré-adolescentes na faixa etária de 13 anos, estudantes do 8º ano do ensino fundamental II de uma escola particular. Ao interagir e se relacionar com o mundo Capricho, a menina/mulher passa a participar de uma dimensão simbólica permeada por referências imagéticas, estilos de vida, padrões de comportamento e papéis sociais. Os resultados indicaram que as participantes do grupo focal percebem o quanto são direcionadas e orientadas para seguir um padrão pré-determinado de comportamento social, aparência e consumo. Todavia, na maioria das vezes, acabam se ajustando a essas crenças e valores, pelo receio de julgamentos ou de não serem aceitas em seus grupos de referência.

La especie Pelargonium odoratissimum (geranio de olor) pertenece a la familia Geraniaceae. Dentro de su composición química, presenta flavonoides tales como quercetina, kaempferol y miricetina; el aceite esencial de sus hojas es rico en metil-eugenol, limoneno y fencona. A partir de hojas y flores de la especie P. odoratissimum se obtuvo el aceite esencial por hidrodestilación (rendimiento 0,3% m/v); la composición química se determinó por cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas (CG-EM), comparando los índices de retención y los espectros de masas con  los datos reportados en la literatura. Se determinó la presencia de 4 monoterpenos, 20 sesquiterpenos y algunos compuestos oxigenados entre ellos 7 ésteres y un ácido, los cuales constituyen cerca del 74% de la composición relativa total del aceite. Los monoterpenos identificados representan el 22,60% de la composición del aceite esencial, en los cuales los componentes mayoritarios encontrados fueron geraniol (12,69%) y citronelol (8,99%). La actividad antimicrobiana medida como la Concentración Mínima Inhibitoria (CMI) se realizó por el método de microdilución en placas de 96 pozos utilizando como indicador de viabilidad el MTT (bromuro de 3-[4,5dimetiltiazol-2-il]-2,5-difeniltetrazolio). El aceite esencial mostró actividad frente a todas las cepas microbianas ensayadas. La mayor actividad se encuentra frente a Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Aspergillus brasiliensis y Candida albicans con una CMI < 3,9 µg/mL. Se encontró una menor actividad inhibitoria, aunque no menos importante, contra Trichophytum rubrum (CMI = 62,5 µg/mL) y Trichophytum mentagrophytes (CMI = 125 µg/mL).

La acción del hombre y la variabilidad climática asociada al calentamiento global está afectando la incidencia de fuegos en las regiones tropicales, aumentando tanto su intensidad como su frecuencia, particularmente en periodos de sequías. En este estudio se realizó un análisis espacio temporal para identificar la ocurrencia de fuegos dentro y fuera de áreas protegidas en el noroeste de la Amazonía. El objetivo fue analizar la efectividad de estas figuras de protección o manejo en los países de la región en términos de reducción de la afectación por incendios. Se utilizaron datos de focos activos de fuegos detectados por sensores remotos (MODIS) para el periodo comprendido entre diciembre del año 2000 hasta febrero del año 2015 en Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú y Venezuela. Se siguió la denominación asignada por La Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (IUCN), las áreas protegidas presentes en la región se agruparon en tres categorías, y la dinámica de los incendios fue analizada a diferentes niveles de estudio. Los resultados indican que las áreas protegidas presentan en todos los casos una menor densidad de fuegos, a diferencia de territorios sin ningún tipo de protección. En términos de comparación de la efectividad, se presenta una mayor cantidad de fuegos en la categoría de resguardo indígena, mientras que la mayor densidad de fuegos por km2 ocurre en áreas tipo categorías II-III. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que la presencia de áreas protegidas en el noroeste de la Amazonía es efectiva para mitigar la incidencia de fuegos forestales.

Published: April 2020

Plants of the genus Lupinus (Fabaceae) have been studied due to the occurrence of different compounds, especially those possessing quinolizidine and isoflavone-like structures. These kinds of compounds are characterized by both medical and industrial applications, providing various benefits to human being. However, organs such as roots have not been equally studied and there is a lack of such records for native species. Therefore, in the present study, the chemical composition of nodulated roots from greenhouse-established L. bogotensis plants was determined. The resulting crude ethanolic extract was then analyzed by LC/HRMS and chemical nature of most compounds was determined by analyzing the high resolution mass spectra. Recorded profile showed adequate separation allowing tentative identification of detected compounds. 47 secondary metabolites (mainly isoflavones and quinolizidine-type compounds) were thus identified. Most phenolic compounds were found to be conjugated flavonoids (e.g., genistin and genistein malonylglucoside) and lupanine, sparteine and hydroxylupanine were noticed as the main alkaloids. Among alkaloid-like compounds, dehydromitomycin C, a compound produced by Streptomyces caespitosus was identified. Lupadienediol (a lupane-type triterpene recognized for being involved in rhizobacteria:legumes symbiosis) was the only terpene-related component identified in the extract. The present work corresponds to the first report on the chemical composition of L. bogotensis root and constitutes an adequate basis for phytoconstituents finding from nature to support the use of native species.
A Study on Potential Leadership Approaches to Address Gender-Based Constraints Effective Preparedness for Disasters in Nepal
Authors: Nepal Uma
Published: April 2020

Introduction: Nepal is known for its cultural diversity and ethnicity. Despite its unique characteristics, Nepalese society has marked visible social and gender divisions that constrain the overall growth of the nation. Low decision-making power, poor control over assets, long working hours, inadequate membership to community institutions, poor access to credit services, and lack of access to appropriate information are some key indicators. However, it was also worth mentioning that places where there is effective leadership to address the gender-based constraints, the outcomes are more promising in attaining growth, dignity, self-confidence, and respect, answering to some of the common constraints.
Methods: This research relies on literature review, expert interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), simulations, and Key Informant Interviews. The expert interviews were conducted in-person to get detailed information on some of the organization-based interventions.
Results: The study showed that since the 2015 earthquake in Nepal, the workload pressure has increased especially for women. It also increased the exposure to some of the common risks such as gender-based violence, women & child trafficking, abuses, stress, family tension, health care issues, fear, and other challenges. However, leaderships shown by organizations, communities, and individuals have positive impact on reducing gender-based violence. Also, reduction of other constraints such as long walking to fetch water, long working hours, restricted movements, decision making for self-improvement, lack of recognition, and seeking permission to attend social events has been addressed by community level and individual leaderships. The places where such constraints of the women have been addressed, their engagement in disaster preparedness activities are more promising.
Conclusion: The research study concluded that there is potential leadership among women groups, family members, and community-based organizations to ensure the reduction of gender-based constraints, and it is helping women for productive engagement.

Among the cementitious materials, geopolymers not only attract interest due to the low emission of CO2 in their manufacturing process, but also because of their good mechanical and chemical properties, together with their resistance to fire. They can be made from different raw materials including various wastes from industrial activities and mineral extraction. In this study, metakaolin was obtained from kaolinite calcined under different conditions. In this case kaolinite is a by-product of sand extraction. It was observed that the calcination conditions (kiln heating rate, calcination time and temperature) had a strong influence on the compressive strength of geopolymer after 28 days of cure. They also affected the composition of the geopolymer, which was prepared by mixing metakaolin, alkaline sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solution.Compressivestrengthsintherangefrom10MPato50MPamaybeobserved, depending on the combination of these factors. A factorial design of experiments allowed the isolation of the effect of each factor and its interactions, offering new insights into the complexity of the geopolymeric reactions and highlighting the need for a rigid control of the calcination conditions of kaolinite and the composition of the geopolymer samples to obtain the desired compressive strength.

FBC fly ash is a type of a waste which is more difficult to recycle than pulverized fly ash.UsingFBCflyashin geopolymers offers one possible way to recycle it. The main goals of the investigation were to determine the influence of curing temperature and curing conditions on the strength of FBC fly ash-based geopolymer; to determine the changes of strength over time and the changes of the temperature inside the geopolymer during the curing process. Tests have shown that the strength of the geopolymer generally increases in line with the increase of a curing temperature. The compressive strength stabilizes after 5 days of curing and yet continues to gain extra strength over the longer term.

Thermal Treatment on MSWI Bottom Ash for the Utilisation in Alkali Activated Materials

Published: April 2020

At present, most municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash is directly landfilled, raising concerns about environmental issues and loss of resources. Due to its high mineral content, MSWI bottom ash is now being considered as a raw material to prepare alkali-activated materials (AAMs). However, the mineral fraction unavoidably contains metallic aluminium (Al) and zinc (Zn) scraps (<1 wt.%), which easily oxidise and generate H2gas under alkaline conditions. As a result, when using MSWI bottom ash to prepare AAMs, the formation of a porous structure, as well as expansive cracks (both detrimental to strength development) can be observed. In this research, thermal treatment of MSWI bottom ash, at temperatures of 500 and 1000 °C, was performed to deal with the issue caused by metallic Al/Zn. A series of tests, including Quantitative X-ray diffraction (QXRD) analysis, fineness measurements (particle size and surface area), and the dissolution test, were conducted to examine the effects of thermal treatment on as-received bottom ash. The results indicate that it is difficult to oxidise metallic Al/Zn at 500°C, but heating up to 1000 °C can realize the complete oxidation of Al/Zn, which in turn allows the wide utilisation of bottom ash in AAMs.
