No texto, a reflexão filosófica acerca da categoria “possibilidade”, leva em consideração as aproximações realizadas no Curso de Especialização em Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica para as Escolas do Campo da FACED/UFBA, à uma teoria pedagógica marxista, adensada a partir dos estudos sobre a teoria do desenvolvimento Histórico Cultural, que vem sendo desenvolvida no Brasil há 40 anos. A possibilidade de transformar em realidade a Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica está vinculada à existência da Educação do/no Campo, e das escolas do/no campo. Os dados educacionais demonstram o violento ataque à educação pública, promovido pela política ultra neoliberal, pelo Estado de exceção, o que requer a resistência ativa, que implica na capacidade de reflexão crítica, de ação coletiva, de proposições superadoras das contradições, assumindo-se enquanto classe, tarefas, táticas e estratégias que superem o capitalismo e sua lógica destrutiva.

EJA E FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE NO CONTEXTO DAS POLÍTICAS DE REESTRUTURAÇÃO PRODUTIVA
Authors: Gomes Maria Rosilene , Borges Carlos Nazareno Ferreira
Published: September 2022

O trabalho discute aspectos relacionados às políticas públicas de financiamento da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) e as condições de formação e trabalho docente para atuar nessa modalidade de educação. O estudo origina-se de nossas pesquisas sobre condições de trabalho docente na EJA, no curso de doutorado do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal do Pará e tem como objetivo analisar, teoricamente, as influências da reestruturação produtiva, no tocante às desigualdades de financiamento na EJA, legitimados na legislação e nos tímidos investimentos financeiros e de políticas públicas para a formação e trabalho docente nesse segmento educacional. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, baseada na compreensão teórico-crítica de autores, entre os quais citamos: Freire (2005), Costa (2019), Dourado (2001), Evangelista (2015), entre outros. A pesquisa evidenciou que no cenário das políticas neoliberais, há um processo de desinvestimento do Estado nas políticas tanto de ingresso e permanência dos estudantes da EJA, quanto na formação de professores desse segmento educacional, por ser um público de pouco interesse às demandas dos setores produtivos. O que nos faz concluir que, em razão desse desinvestimento, os docentes da EJA vivenciam processos de intensificação e precarização do trabalho contribuindo para o expressivo índice de analfabetismo e de redução de escolas com oferta de EJA.

Formation of Moons and Equatorial Ridge around Top-shaped Asteroids after Surface Landslide
Authors: Hyodo Ryuki , Sugiura Keisuke
Published: September 2022

Top-shaped asteroids have been observed among near-Earth asteroids. About half of them are reported to have moons (on the order of ∼1 wt.% of the top-shaped primary) and many of them have an equatorial ridge. A recent study has shown that the enigmatic top-shaped figure of asteroids (e.g., Ryugu, Bennu, and Didymos) could result from an axisymmetric landslide of the primary during a fast spin-up near the breakup rotation period. Such a landslide would inevitably form a particulate disk around an asteroid with a short timescale (∼3 hr). However, the long-term full dynamical evolution is not investigated. Here, we perform a continuous simulation (∼700 hr) that investigates the sequence of events from the surface landslide that forms a top-shaped asteroid and a particulate disk to disk evolution. We show that the disk quickly spreads and produces moons (within ∼300 hr). The mass of the formed moon is consistent with what is observed around the top-shaped asteroids. We also demonstrate that an equatorial ridge is naturally formed because a fraction of the disk particles re-accretes selectively onto the equatorial region of the primary. We envision that Ryugu and Bennu could once have an ancient moon that was later lost due to a successive moon’s orbital evolution. Alternatively, at a top-shaped asteroid that has a moon, such as Didymos, no significant orbital evolution of the moon has occurred that would result in its loss. Our study would also be qualitatively applicable to any rubble-pile asteroids near the breakup rotation period.
Comparative morphology and postnatal ontogeny of the bony labyrinth in Pantherinae (Felidae, Carnivora) with special emphasis on the lion
Authors: Wirkner Mathias , Heyder Katharina , Ruf Irina
Published: September 2022

The bony labyrinth (inner ear) of mammals reveals systematic as well as morphofunctional information. However, detailed knowledge of bony labyrinth morphology and ontogeny in Pantherinae, that comprise some of the most iconic mammals, is still pending. Hence, we present the first comparative description of the bony labyrinth in all extant species of Panthera and Neofelis some of which are represented by several postnatal stages; particular focus is set on Panthera leo. Our study is based on µCT scans and virtual 3D reconstructions and accompanied by selected morphometric measurements. Even though quite similar in morphology, both genera as well as their species can be distinguished by several features, e.g., shape and relative size of the semicircular canals and presence or absence of an osseous secondary crus commune. In case of the latter, P. pardus shows some intraspecific variation. We also traced the reduction of the fossa subarcuata during ontogeny in P. leo which conforms with previous studies. Negative allometry of the bony labyrinth in relation to skull basal length can be observed during ontogeny as demonstrated by P. leo as well as between different sized species. Although not correlated with the length of the cochlear canal, the number of cochlear turns is higher in captive non-adult P. leo and P. tigris, but lower in adult captive P. pardus. If these intraspecific differences are related to captivity or represent an ontogenetic pattern, needs to be evaluated in future studies based on larger samples.

Loss and Grief in the Context of Dementia Caregiving
Authors: Paun Olimpia , Loukissa Dimitra , Chirica Marianne G. , Nowell Horace M.
Published: September 2022

As a universal human reaction to perceived and/or actual loss, grief is becoming increasingly pervasive at all levels of society. Among the broad spectrum of loss experiences, those associated with dementia are perhaps of the most complex. The shift toward considering loss and grief within the context of dementia caregiving is promising. However, pre-loss grief is understudied, and interventions are lacking. Only few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of pre-loss psychosocial grief interventions for dementia caregivers. Preliminary findings from an ongoing clinical trial testing the effects of an 8-week, group-based online video intervention with dementia caregivers indicate that compared to precoronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the experience of loss and separation was exacerbated by loss of control and severe physical contact restrictions in long-term care facilities. Finding effective grief interventions that can be translated into clinical and community-based environments is necessary to alleviate dementia caregivers' emotional distress and improve their quality of life.

Published: September 2022

This paper considers the maneuvering penetration methods of missile which do not know the intercepting strategies of the interceptor beforehand. Based on reinforcement learning, the online intelligent maneuvering penetration methods of missile are derived. When the missile is locked by the interceptor, in terms of the tracking characteristics of the interceptor, the missile carries out tentative maneuvers which lead to the interceptor makes the responses respectively, in the light of the information on interceptor responses which can be gathered by the missile-borne detectors, online game confrontation learning is employed to increase the miss distance of the interceptor in guidance blind area by reinforcement learning algorithm, the results of which are used to generate maneuvering strategies that make the missile to achieve the successful penetration. The simulation results show that, compared with no maneuvering methods or random maneuvering methods, the methods proposed not only present higher probability of successful penetration, but also need less overload and lower command switching frequency. Moreover, the effectiveness of this maneuvering penetration methods can be realized under the condition of limited number of training.

Authors: Ma Dong , Li Shuang , Chen Zhihua
Published: September 2022

The development of new drugs is a long and costly process, Computer-aided drug design reduces development costs while computationally shortening the new drug development cycle, in which DTA (Drug-Target binding Affinity) prediction is a key step to screen out potential drugs. With the development of deep learning, various types of deep learning models have achieved notable performance in a wide range of fields. Most current related studies focus on extracting the sequence features of molecules while ignoring the valuable structural information; they employ sequence data that represent only the elemental composition of molecules without considering the molecular structure maps that contain structural information. In this paper, we use graph neural networks to predict DTA based on corresponding graph data of drugs and proteins, and we achieve competitive performance on two benchmark datasets, Davis and KIBA. In particular, an MSE of 0.227 and CI of 0.895 were obtained on Davis, and an MSE of 0.127 and CI of 0.903 were obtained on KIBA.
Le roi Hérode
Authors: Parmentier Édith
Published: September 2022

La réputation détestable d’Hérode n’est plus à faire : tyran infanticide pour les chrétiens qui l’ont immortalisé dans le massacre des Saints Innocents, roi étranger haï de son peuple d’après la tradition juive, dynaste exotique méprisé par l’opinion selon l’historiographie romaine… L’interférence constante du religieux dans le discours historique a fabriqué une légende noire où se reflète l’ombre monstrueuse des dictateurs modernes. Pourtant, les images stéréotypées qui s’accumulent, cristallisant sur Hérode de multiples représentations collectives, s’imbriquent les unes dans les autres sans jamais convaincre tout à fait.Ce livre entreprend de déconstruire la légende en mobilisant toutes les sources disponibles, en proposant une relecture intertextuelle des documents, en contextualisant les rumeurs dans leur environnement réel et en interprétant les textes à la lumière des données concrètes révélées par l’archéologie.Loin de régner depuis la tanière d’un tyran dans un paysage confus de crime et de châtiment, Hérode se révèle comme un roi qui eut ses partisans à Jérusalem autant que ses adversaires, comme un grand bâtisseur qui modernisa son royaume, comme un pionnier qui fit fleurir le désert de Judée. Son règne inaugura une fusion entre les apports de l’hellénisme, de la Rome impériale et des cultures juive et arabe, dont la continuité est caractéristique du Proche-Orient antique.
Multi-Cloud Service Brokers for Selecting the Optimal Data Center in Cloud Environment
Authors: Elrotub Mousa , Gherbi Abdelouahed
Published: September 2022

Cloud computing provides different services through data centers that are often located in different geographical locations. The users are faced with a wide variety of services to choose from. Also, with the increasing number of serviced applications, overloading might occur on service brokers for balancing and serving the requests. Consequently, maximizing the number of entry points and considering the maximum number of factors that affect the performance for balancing the workload is very important for the quality of service. This paper proposes a model named multi-cloud service brokers (MCSB) for selecting the optimal DC using multiple entry points. The developed service broker policy shares information about the requests considering some new performance factors. This extension is added to the CloudAnalyst simulator tool which is used in this work, and the results are evaluated and compared to other existing policies from the literature.

Authors: Hadj Brahim Mounia Menoun , Afra Hamid
Published: September 2022

The aim of this study is to develop a method based on a theoretical background that can evaluate directly the response spectrum of a soil profile at the surface from a specified bedrock response spectrum. One-dimensional ground response analysis is mainly performed using linear (L) and equivalent linear (EQL) method. The interesting feature of this method is its possibility to evaluate, directly, the response spectrum of a soil profile at the surface, without the need of using the power spectral density or the Fourier amplitude spectrum. The results of the proposed method showed a good agreement compared with those obtained from the Shake software and from the random vibration theory (RVT) used in the Strata software.

Authors: Kshirsagar Meghana , Gupt Krishn Kumar , Vaidya Gauri , Ryan Conor , Sullivan Joseph P. , Kshirsagar Vivek
Published: September 2022

Over the past seven decades since the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, researchers have demonstrated and deployed systems incorporating AI in various domains. The absence of model explainability in critical systems such as medical AI and credit risk assessment among others has led to neglect of key ethical and professional principles which can cause considerable harm. With explainability methods, developers can check their models beyond mere performance and identify errors. This leads to increased efficiency in time and reduces development costs. The article summarizes that steering the traditional AI systems toward responsible AI engineering can address concerns raised in the deployment of AI systems and mitigate them by incorporating explainable AI methods. Finally, the article concludes with the societal benefits of the futuristic AI systems and the market shares for revenue generation possible through the deployment of trustworthy and ethical AI systems.

Authors: Lin Hsiung-Cheng , Wang Ming-Dian , Chen Jun-Wei , Chen Hong-Ming
Published: September 2022

With quickly growing environmental awareness, cycling has become a popular global activity. However, the bike riding road may be so rugged that the suspension damping status should be appropriately adjusted to make riding more comfortable. Traditionally, the damping adjustment in bikes relies on a manual operation in advance, causing inconvenience during riding. To resolve this problem, this paper aims to develop an APP-controlled hydraulic damping adjustment system for bike front fork suspension control. The microprocessor works as a core controller. G-sensor (accelerometer) is used to detect the road condition. Blade with photointerrupter circuit is designed to accurately control the DC motor rotating position for determining fork damping ratio. Moreover, APP can send control signals and receive data to/from the microprocessor via Bluetooth module between each other. Additionally, the bike driving mileage, period of time, and route can be displayed on APP instantly. The experimental results confirm that the proposed system is superior in term of robustness, accuracy, and convenience.
Development of Bresenham-Based Step Compensation Algorithm for Manipulator Trajectory Planning
Authors: Zhang Yan , Han Jianbing , Lin Hsiung-Cheng , Jin Yuqing , Gu Zihang
Published: September 2022

The trajectory planning of the manipulator end is somehow sensitive to the manipulator movement. To avoid accumulative error, the step compensation optimization method based on Bresenham algorithm is developed to overcome such an adverse effect. First, the Bresenham algorithm is applied using the manipulator modeling from Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) parameters. The calculation process can be therefore simplified using the point interpolation method. Second, the step compensation optimization is combined with Bresenham algorithm to reduce abrupt speed changing and vibration effect, particularly at the starting or ending period during arm joint movement. The performance results verify that the manipulator can move smoothly and follow up the predefined straight-line trajectory accurately.
Evaluation and Ranking of E-Government Websites Using Weighted-Combinative Distance-Based Assessment Approach
Authors: Gupta Aakash , Bansal Mohit
Published: September 2022

Electronic government (e-government) now becomes a necessity rather than an option for the countries that aim for improved governance. Indeed, existing agencies of government make a powerful connection with customers through e-government to deliver better, cheaper, and faster services. In the present research, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach, namely weighted-combinative distance-based assessment (W-CODAS), is proposed which is a combination of Shannon entropy approach and CODAS and implemented to rank the e-government websites of eight countries by selecting 15 evaluation criteria. Further, the results obtained from W-CODAS method are compared with well-known methods AHP and TOPSIS and validated by Kendall's tau correlation test. The results of the present research based on W-CODAS show that the e-government website of Finland is placed at the top position (Rank 1) followed by UK. Similarly, the Netherlands website occupies last position and is ranked at number eight.
Highly-Accurate Temperature-Compensated Pneumatic Measurement Using Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor
Authors: Lin Hsiung-Cheng , Chen Wei-Zhi , Shih Wei-Chieh
Published: September 2022

Pneumatic cylinder is known as one of the major transmission power sources in either machinery or automation operation. However, the sensor used in the pneumatic measurement is sensitive to harsh temperature environments. For this reason, a high precision pneumatic measurement using piezoresistive pressure sensor with temperature compensation is proposed in this paper. The pneumatic signal is read and amplified via A/D converter of the microprocessor. The relationship of pneumatic signal maximum level over temperature influence is also built up for a compensation purpose. A human-machine interface (HMI) with the computer is designed for real-time accurate calibration via RS-485. Based on a current loop transmitter, the measured pneumatic signal can be converted into an industrial standard (i.e., 4-20mA output). The experimental results verify that the proposed system can achieve an accurate measurement outcome below 0.5% error in both HMI and output current under a variety of temperature conditions.
Long-lasting dyspnoea in patients otherwise clinically and radiologically recovered from COVID pneumonia: a probe for checking persisting disorders in capillary lung volume as a cause
Authors: Dal Negro Roberto W. , Turco Paola , Povero Massimiliano
Published: September 2022

Background: During SARS-CoV-2 infection, diffuse alveolar damage and pulmonary microvascular abnormalities are critical events that result in gas exchange disorders of varying severity and duration. The only measure of carbon monoxide (CO) diffusing capacity (DLCO) is unable to distinguish the alveolar from the vascular side of present and residual diffusive abnormalities, and measure of NO diffusing capacity (DLNO) is also recommended. Dyspnoea, despite being understudied, persists in a significant proportion of patients for several weeks after hospital discharge. The goal of this study was to look into the underlying cause of long-term dyspnoea in patients who were "clinically and radiologically recovered" from COVID pneumonia by assessing DLCO and DLNO at the same time.Methods: Patients of both genders, aged ≥18 years, who had a CT scan showing complete resolution of COVID-related parenchymal lesions were recruited consecutively. Spirometrical volumes, blood haemoglobin, SpO2, DLCO, DLNO and capillary blood volume (Vc) were measured. Data from patients without dyspnoea (group A) and from patients still claiming dyspnoea after 12-16 weeks from their hospital discharge (group B) were statistically compared.Results: Forty patients were recruited: 19 in group A and 21 in group B. Groups were comparable for their general characteristics and spirometrical volumes, that were in the normal range. Mean values for DLCO, DLNO and Vc were significantly and substantially lower than predicted only in patients of group B (p<0.011; p<0.0036; p<0.02; p<0.001, respectively). The DLNO/ DLCO ratio was higher in group B (p<0.001) and inversely correlated to Vc values (-0.3636).Conclusions: The single-breath, simultaneous measurement of DLCO, DLNO, and Vc demonstrated that problems with blood gas exchange can persist even after parenchymal lesions have healed completely. Regardless of the normality of spirometric volumes, there was a significant reduction in lung capillary blood volume. In these patients, the cause of long-term dyspnoea may be related to hidden abnormalities in the vascular side of diffusive function. In the near future, novel therapeutic approaches against residual and symptomatic signs of long-COVID are possible.
Cognitive Dysfunction and Diabetes
Authors: Jung Chan-Hee , Mok Ji-Oh
Published: September 2022

Diabetes mellitus and cognitive dysfunction are highly prevalent in the aging population. In the aging society, clinicians will be increasingly tasked with managing elderly patients who have both cognitive dysfunction and diabetes. A growing number of epidemiological and clinical studies confirmed that diabetes is associated with an increase in the risk of cognitive dysfunction and dementia. Cognitive dysfunction is of particular importance because it is associated with poor self-management ability, poor diabetes management with more frequent severe hypoglycemic episodes, and increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Current diabetes guidelines recommend screening for cognitive dysfunction in older and high-risk patients and providing individualized guidance for patients with cognitive dysfunction. Nonetheless, there is limited awareness among clinicians regarding this subject compared to other diabetic micro- and macrovascular complications. Recently, there has been increasing understanding in this field through multimodal neuroimaging and biomarkers for early detection of cognitive dysfunction in diabetes. In addition, new agents such as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists showed promising protective effects against cognitive dysfunction and dementia in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this review, we summarize the relationship between diabetes and cognitive dysfunction, especially dementia, and some contributing factors and pathogenesis of dementia in diabetes. We also review how anti-diabetic medications may influence cognitive dysfunction and clinical management guidance.
Percutaneous Closure of a Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Infants
Authors: Pamukçu Özge , Narin Nazmi
Published: September 2022

Spontaneous closure rate of ductus decreases as gestational age and birth weight decrease. Therefore, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a very common finding in extremely preterm infants. Most popular questions discussed between neonatologists and pediatric cardiologists are: Whether the ductus is open or not, should we close it or not, when should we close it, and if we have decided to close: should we do it medical, transcatheter or by surgery? In this review we try to clarify patient selection for PDA closure, the main steps of percutaneous PDA closure, device selection, complications, transport, anesthesiology and main trick points in extremely low birth weight infants in the light of our clinical experience and the literature.
The Historical Heritage оf Portugal as a Factor of Division and Consolidation оf Society
Authors: Sigachev M. I. , Arteev S. P.
Published: September 2022

The problem of divided societies and divisions in societies acquires special significance against the background of growing socio-political tensions in the internal and external political dimensions around the world. The West is ceasing to be an area of predominant tranquility and wellbeing. In recent years, in European societies a trend of increasing divisions has also emerged. The article analyzes old and new socio-political divisions (cleavages) within the Portuguese society. The choice of Portugal as a case study is due to the combination of several factors: the memory of the Carnation Revolution, the attitude towards the European project, the imperial past, Catholicism/secularism, and the historical legacy of the Salazar dictatorship. The theoretical and methodological framework of the study is based on the use of the concept of divided societies and constructivism as the main epistemological tools, while the country studies analysis is also applied. The authors attempt not only to identify the basic socio-cultural divisions in the contemporary Portuguese society, but also answer the question of whether it is possible to speak of a divided society in relation to the Portuguese case. The emphasis is placed on the peculiarities of Portugal’s historical path as a post-imperial state whose specificity is largely due, first, to the heritage of the Portuguese maritime empire, and, second, to the legacy of the 1974 Carnation Revolution. The key cleavages that are at the center of the analysis are the legacy of the Carnation Revolution, the European project, the imperial legacy, the religious configuration, and the Salazar heritage. The conclusion is that the Portuguese society has managed to avoid the most negative scenario of the development of the situation and has a chance of consolidation.

The article discusses the dynamics and prospects for the development of the historical politics of the PRC at the present stage. The present study attempts to identify two key components of the PRC’s historical politics that define the framework for remembrance in China. The reference points of the study are Chinese interpretations of what should be forgotten or reformatted, as well as the Chinese leadership’s policy of imagining the future. The article is based on the “Resolution on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century” adopted by the 6th Plenum of the 19th CPC Central Committee, collections of Xi Jinping’s public speeches. In theoretical terms, it relies on the studies of historical politics by A. Assman, A.I. Miller, E. Wolfrum, O.Yu. Malinova. The study demonstrated how the CCP becomes the only mnemonic actor writing its own history. In the first part of the article, forms of “forgetfulness” are considered, behind which there are very different methods, actions and strategies. The second part analyzes the narrative of building the future, expressed in the concepts of “Xiaokang (moderately prosperous society)” and “accelerated promotion of socialist modernization” circulating in Chinese documents as the goal of “two centuries”. In the course of the study, we found that it is in the interests of the CCP, led by Xi Jinping, to present the history of the PRC teleologically, in which the events of the past anticipate the victorious march of the CCP in the history of China. It is for this reason that the main instruments of the historical policy of the PRC are various techniques of oblivion: rewriting, erasing, silence. However, in parallel with the historical policy aimed at the past, the Chinese leadership is also working on images of an imaginary future. Thus, the main goal of China’s historical policy at the present stage is the construction of a single, monolithic, homogeneous story about the past, present and future of the PRC, in which there is no place for discrepancies, criticism and historical nihilism.

Music can cause pleasant sensations in humans whereas some noises can cause discomfort. The effects of music and noise have also been somewhat studied in animals, showing different impacts. In this review we aim to illustrate the differences and similarities between animals, in terms of their sensitivity to auditory stimuli (noise or music), by first recalling some generalities about the physical characteristics of sound and the biological bases of hearing. Second, based on the studies reported in this review, we conclude that ambient noise is harmful and/or stressful, and that musical sounds can take many forms with a large range of impacts in animals. Finally, we present two practical examples of the use of music with animals (one in the context of a zoo and the other in cattle breeding) and an example of an experiment designed to understand the impact of music on neonate lambs. These three examples highlight how music can help to improve animal welfare.

Published: September 2022

This research aims to determine the variables that influence the choice of attending live music events. For this purpose, the Cultural Consumption Survey (ECC), developed in Colombia by the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), is used to find a descriptive profile of the attending individual and develop an econometric probit model that explains the influence that the different variables have on attendance probability. The results do not differ from other studies in that there is a high probability that young and single individuals attend this type of event. However, it is highlighted that all levels of education are positive and significant, people attend in all regions of the country, they engage in all activities, and there is participation from minority ethnic sectors.
Estimation of Initial Oil in Place for Buzurgan Oil Field by Using Volumetric Method and Reservoir Simulation Method

Published: September 2022

The estimation of the initial oil in place is a crucial topic in the period of exploration, appraisal, and development of the reservoir. In the current work, two conventional methods were used to determine the Initial Oil in Place. These two methods are a volumetric method and a reservoir simulation method. Moreover, each method requires a type of data whereet al the volumetric method depends on geological, core, well log and petrophysical properties data while the reservoir simulation method also needs capillary pressure versus water saturation, fluid production and static pressure data for all active wells at the Mishrif reservoir. The petrophysical properties for the studied reservoir is calculated using neural network technique from 13 cored and logged wells. The results showed that the reservoir simulation method gave a value of Initial Oil in Place that agrees and close to the value of Initial Oil in Place obtained from the volumetric method with a percentage different around 2%. However, the estimation of Initial Oil in Place by reservoir simulation method offered accurate results during good history matching with observed data as well as making appropriate adjusting for Pc vs. Sw values for the whole reservoir from October 1976 until December2020. MB21 unit own most Initial Oil in Place equal to 525*106 SM3 while MB12 has lowest IOIP equal to 2*106 SM3. Finally, the calculation of Initial Oil in Place by both volumetric and simulation methods presented good results while comparing with previous study at 2013 with discovered different around 1.5% and 0.6% respectively.

Objectives: This study describes three surges of COVID-19 hypoxemic respiratory failure and our experience with using iCPAP in patients with cardiovascular diseases at a tertiary cardiac care centre.
Methodology: This observational study was conducted from March 23rd 2020 to May 31st 2021, at The National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Karachi, Pakistan. This is an analysis of data from the PRICE Network Registry. Data was collected for all adult patients with cardiovascular diseases admitted with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and a confirmed diagnosis of SARS CoV-2.
Results: Among 362 patients with 'severe’ or 'critical’ COVID-19 were hospitalized; 163 (45%) in the 1st surge, 92 (25.4%) in the 2nd and 107 (29.6 %) in the 3rd surge. All-cause mortality was 118 (32.6%). iCPAP was used in 39% (141) patients, 19% (69) patients required oxygen only, 25.4% (92) were on BiPAP support and 16.6% (60) were intubated. ‘iCPAP failure’ occurred in 48/141 (34%) patients. iCPAP failure occurred in patients with higher APACHE II scores (16.3 ±5.7 v/s 21.3±6, p ≤0.001), lower ROX index on admission (5.0±2.2 vs. 10.4±5.4, p≤0.001), lesser degree of improvement in ROX index at 48 hours (Day 3 ROX 18.7±8.9 vs. 9.9±6.3, p≤0.001). Mortality rate on iCPAP was 44 (31.2%).
Conclusion: COVID-19 outcomes in a resource-limited setting in patients having cardiovascular diseases, appear comparable to global reports. A modification of standard CPAP (iCPAP) appeared to be safe and effective. This modification of standard CPAP (iCPAP) identifies an option for resource-limited or resource-exhausted critical care units.
Impact of Spirituality On Life Course

Empirical data says that older age group people are more content in their lives rather than the younger ones. Assumptions about retirement connected with stress and morbidity continue to flourish despite tons of empirical contradictory data. The perpetual mismatch between theory and certain empirical data is one of the things that has led us to believe that we sometimes erroneously project midlife values, activity patterns, and expectations onto old age. Rajyoga being taught by Brahma Kumaris at world spiritual university is a unique spiritual education which facilitates the individual to realise true potential of uplifting one’s self-identity or Awareness. The dimensions of life and spiritual knowledge allows the person to enlighten himself to experience the golden era where enlightened individuals called as angels live having higher consciousness and live in an environment of perfect order. This spiritually transcending experience is timely selective to all the individuals, irrespective of caste and creed and religion because the age undergoes transition, and the world has to move towards a better life.
