Flexural behavior of a concrete beam reinforced with metal rebars produced from a pseudo-elastic Nickel-Titanium alloy
Authors: Mariano Silva , de Almeida , Muterlle Palloma , de_Douglas Sousa
Published: January 2023

The use of concrete in the construction industry is widespread throughout the world, which increases the need for a better characterization of its technical aspects. In particular, there is a need for a better understanding of its poor performance when subjected to dynamic loads, which occurs due to its great stiffness and its little (if any) deformation capacity. Knowing that one of the ways to mitigate the poor behavior of concrete in case of dynamic loads is by improving the deformation capacity or ductility of the metallic reinforcement, the proposal to explore the behavior of a concrete beam reinforced with metallic rebars produced from a pseudo-elastic Nickel-Titanium alloy becomes highly desirable. This experimental research aims to verify the flexural behavior of a concrete beam reinforced with Nickel-Titanium rebars. In this regard, the requirements suggested by the technical standard in force were carefully followed, relying mainly on the international standard ASTM C78. Concrete specimens were produced either reinforced with conventional steel rebars; or reinforced with Nickel-Titanium rebars. The results showed that, although the Nickel-Titanium rebars specimens presented a modulus of rupture 26.48% lower, their displacement was about 642.79% greater in relation to specimens with conventional steel rebars, in addition to presenting a partial recovery of the beam's initial position even after complete concrete breakage.

Reichsautobahn Berlin-Königsberg blev påbegyndt af tyskerne før 2. Verdenskrig og skulle forbinde Berlin med det daværende Königsberg i Østpreussen.I slutningen af 1930’erne var sektionerne omkring de to byer færdige. Tyskerne krævede nu, at Polen skulle tillade, at motorvejen førtes gennem den polske korridor, med tysk ejerskab. Polen afviste kravet og kort tid efter begyndte 2. verdenskrig, og vejen blev aldrig færdig.

Skład frakcjonalny stożków gruzowych w kontekście zróżnicowanego klimatu peryglacjalnych stoków górskich (na przykładzie Spitsbergenu i środkowej Azji) = Grain-Size Composition on Talus Slopes in the context of disparate climatic conditions of periglacial mountain zones (exemplified by Spitsbergen and Central Asia)
Authors: Dolnicki Piotr , Kroh Paweł
Published: January 2023

Talus slopes origin is connected both with weathering and transport of the rock grain. The formation of these landforms is an effect of many climatological, morphological and geological factors. The grain size of the surface of the talus slope brings some information about the way of transport and deposition mechanisms. The main aim of the paper is to present different talus slope formation in two mountain locations - in arctic periglacial and semi-arid continental periglacial climate zones. Results from two study sites are presented. The first one was located on Spitsbergen Island, on its SW coast, near Polish Polar Station. The climate is arctic and periglacial, the average annual temperature is -3,2°C, annual precipitation is 494,6 mm. The slope is exposed to the west, rock face and talus slope are built with gneiss, crystalline shales with marbles intrusions. There is permafrost as well as an active layer noted on this study site. The second study site is in the Fann Mountains, part of Pamiro-Alay massive in Tajikistan. The annual temperature is about 1-2°C (meteo stations nearby: 6,6°C Iskanderkul 2204 m.a.s.l., 0,7°C Shahristan Pass 3143 m.a.s.l.), annual precipitation is about 300 mm. Slope is exposed to the south, rock material is a Devonian massive limestone. No permafrost was observed in this area. On both study sites, similar methods were used. Profiles with four measuring points were designated. On these points, 0,5 x 0,5 m square were marked and perpendicular photographs from a 1,5 m distance were made. Grain sizes were analyzed in BaseGRAIN software. In Asian periglacial high-mountain conditions lack of permafrost and low precipitation causes, that there is no factor of water. Domination of gravitational processes is sorting material when the heaviest rock fragments are transported longer and are deposited on lower positions on the slope.
Nuevos y viejos rostros de la exclusión sociolaboral. Poblaciones y situaciones para la acción socioeducativa
Authors: Del Pozo Serrano Francisco José , Rodríguez- Bravo Ana Eva , Villaseñor Palma Karla
Published: January 2023

La exclusión sociolaboral, tras la pandemia, ha supuesto en la comunidad iberoamericana un reto para entidades y profesionales de la Educación Social. Este estudio analiza las poblaciones y situaciones prioritarias atendidas por entidades socioeducativas de Brasil, Colombia, España y México, enfatizando en los viejos y nuevos rostros de la inserción a partir de las circunstancias sociales, sanitarias o laborales percibidas por el personal profesional de la acción socioeducativa. Se ha utilizado una metodología mixta conformada por encuesta (N=109) y entrevistas grupales (N=17), lo que ha permitido una mejor descripción y comprensión del fenómeno, a partir de un muestreo intencional de profesionales vinculados a programas socioeducativos en cada país.Los principales resultados indican que 1) las poblaciones y situaciones atendidas mayo¬ritariamente han sido las personas jóvenes y familias con un nivel socioeconómico más bajo, con gran representatividad femenina; 2) se han agudizado las problemáticas de salud mental, precarización y ruptura de los proyectos de vida, con complejidades de conciliación y soste¬nibilidad familiar; 3) han emergido necesarias nuevas competencias como el teletrabajo y la alfabetización digital, que han implicado la incorporación de adaptaciones en los programas de las entidades; 4) las entidades atendieron escasamente a personas adultas prejubiladas, aunque sí trabajaron con personas paradas de larga duración; 5) se ha presentado una baja atención de las personas enfermas, dependientes o con diversidad funcional; y 6) en España y Colombia ha existido una mayor atención a las personas migrantes y las personas privadas de libertad. Poblaciones que, en general, tienen baja presencia en los programas. Entre las conclusiones y recomendaciones se considera prioritaria la atención comunita¬ria y especializada promocionando la educación para la salud (especialmente salud mental) y acompañamiento en proyectos de vida. Se recomienda que los/as educadoras/es sociales sean agentes de coordinación intersectorial entre los entornos, que acompañen los proyec¬tos e itinerarios sociolaborales.
Percepción de las familias sobre los obstáculos y dificultades del ocio familiar durante el confinamiento

Published: January 2023

El ocio familiar entendido como el tiempo no obligado destinado al disfrute en el marco de las relaciones intrafamiliares, es reconocido por los beneficios que aporta al desarrollo socioeducativo y emocional. La investigación sobre ocio comenzó en el ámbito laboral y sociológico, aunque ha adquirido cada vez mayor protagonismo el enfoque educativo. Si bien, las investigaciones previas ya habían señalado las dificultades del ocio, las circunstancias inigualables del confinamiento abren nuevos interrogantes respecto esta temática. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo conocer los obstáculos y dificultades que las familias han percibido en su ocio familiar durante el confinamiento y la influencia del número de hijos y miembros de la familia y la situación laboral de estos. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 763 padres o madres de familias residentes en España que cumplimentaron un cuestionario online que incluyó 13 ítems contestados a partir de una escala Likert de 1 a 5 grados. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo e inferencial a partir de las pruebas ANOVA de un factor y Test de comparaciones múltiples de Bonferroni. El trabajo y las obligaciones del hogar junto a la repetición de las actividades y los conflictos familiares se identificaron como los obstáculos y las dificultades, respectivamente, más presentes en el ocio familiar en el tiempo de confinamiento. Tanto en los obstáculos como las dificultades, se halló significación estadística en el número de hijos y miembros familiares en el hogar, sin embargo, la situación laboral de los padres no resulta significativa con las dificultades. Se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de instaurar nuevas políticas familiares ante los periodos de confinamiento junto un apoyo y asesoramiento de instituciones como la escuela o las empresas de manera que ayude a sobrellevar mejor la situación de conciliación.
Procesos de acompañamiento socioeducativo y adaptación a la vida en libertad en mujeres penadas
Authors: Burgos Jiménez Rubén , Amaro Agudo Ana , Añaños Fanny
Published: January 2023

Desde el campo educativo, el medio penitenciario puede constituir un espacio institucional orientado a la acción socioeducativa para la reeducación e in-reinserción de las personas penadas. El acompañamiento profesional supone un proceso de actuación que fomenta, entre otras, la autonomía y el empoderamiento para la vida en libertad. Esto es  desarrollado por distintos profesionales o personal vinculado al medio, distinguiéndose las actuaciones intrapenitenciarias y extrapenitenciarias. Sin embargo, las mujeres penadas experimentan desigualdades institucionales debido a su baja presencia poblacional, características personales específicas, etc., limitando su acompañamiento profesional e in-reinserción. El presente artículo analiza las percepciones de los profesionales penitenciarios y mujeres penadas sobre los procesos de acompañamiento realizados y la adecuación a sus características sociopersonales para la mejor in-reinserción. Se realizó una investigación nacional con una muestra de 756 mujeres penadas y 109 profesionales penitenciarios en el marco de dos proyectos I+D+i. Se aplicaron cuestionarios mixtos a ambos tipos de muestra y entrevistas semiestructuradas a mujeres. Para los datos cuantitativos se realizó un análisis estadístico descriptivo bivariado y para los cualitativos un análisis de contenido. Los resultados mostraron que los procesos de acompañamiento son desarrollados en su mayoría por profesionales extrapenitenciarios en régimen ordinario (84.6%), siendo los que más consideran las necesidades sociopersonales de las mujeres, especialmente los niveles educativos y las drogodependencias. Las mujeres penadas presentaron dificultades para la continuidad de los procesos de acompañamiento en régimen abierto, ya que estas acciones son recibidas solo por el 51.6%, destacando las mujeres adictas (58.3%) y víctimas de violencia de género (63.6%). Asimismo, el 38.7% demandó programas de inserción sociolaboral y el 31.2% intervenciones individualizadas. Con todo, se evidenciaron limitaciones en la acción socioeducativa con perspectiva de género y alcance de las acciones de acompañamiento profesional en régimen abierto, lo que impide una adecuada adaptación de las mujeres a la vida en libertad.
(In)Stability of Test Scores
Authors: Merchant Stefan , Rich Jessica , Klinger Don A.
Published: January 2023

Both school and district administrators use the results of standardized, large-scale tests to inform decisions about the need for, or success of, educational programs and interventions. However, test results at the school level are subject to random fluctuations due to changes in cohort, test items, and other factors outside of the school’s control. This study examined year to year changes in school level results on standardized tests delivered in Ontario, Canada. G-theory analyses found that test scores are not stable enough for meaningful conclusions to be made based on year to year changes in school level results. For small and medium sized schools, years of data need to be collected before defensible decisions can be made about trends in test scores. The authors introduce a ‘bounce’ statistic that provides a simple, easy to interpret measure of test score stability.

Bias in Student Ratings of Instruction: A Systematic Review of Research from 2012 to 2021
Authors: Stoesz Brenda M. , De Jaeger Amy E. , Quesnel Matthew , Bhojwani Dimple , Los Ryan
Published: January 2023

Student ratings of instruction (SRI) are commonly used to evaluate courses and teaching in higher education. Much debate about their validity in evaluating teaching exists, which is due to concerns of bias by factors unrelated to teaching quality (Spooren et al., 2013). Our objective was to identify peer-reviewed original research published in English from January 1, 2012, to March 10, 2021, on potential sources of bias in SRIs. Our systematic review of 63 articles demonstrated strong support for the continued existence of gender bias, favoring male instructors and bias against faculty with minority ethnic and cultural backgrounds. These and other biases must be considered when implementing SRIs and reviewing results. Critical practices for reducing bias when using SRIs include implementing bias awareness training and avoiding use of SRIs as a singular measure of teaching quality when making decisions for teaching development or hiring and promotion.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Besides disease-modifying therapies, various pharmacologic agents are frequently prescribed to people with multiple sclerosis (MS) for symptom treatment and for comorbid conditions. The present study aims to investigate the types and frequencies of agents prescribed to people with MS in Greece using records from the nationwide digital prescription database.

METHODS

Prescription records for 21,218 people (65.9% women) with MS were included in the study. The criterion for study inclusion was a minimum of 3 months of continuous prescription of an agent. Identified treatments were further examined by age group.

RESULTS

Antispasticity agents (17.5%) and fampridine (14.5%) were the most regularly prescribed symptomatic medications. Antihypertensives (21.1%) and drugs for affective disorders, including antidepressants (36.1%) and anxiolytics (16.2%), were the most frequently prescribed medications for comorbid conditions. Antidepressants were prescribed at almost equally high rates among individuals older than 40 years. Hypertension was one of the leading comorbidities among the study sample, with rates rising significantly after age 40 years and plateauing after age 60 years. Polypharmacy was observed in 22.5% of the study sample, with a higher incidence among people with MS older than 60 years (46.98%).

CONCLUSIONS

Agents prescribed for the treatment of disease symptoms and other medical conditions are expected to positively affect quality of life in people with MS. However, polypharmacy seems to be particularly high, especially in the aged population. The potential implications of polypharmacy in the disease course should further be explored.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study conducted online. A predesigned standardized questionnaire, containing six demographic questions and 14 questions on AI knowledge, was used. The questionnaire was distributed via WhatsApp and email platforms. Volunteers (respondents) included 119 men and 81 women, aged 18–50 years, who work on poultry farms in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using the chi-squared and Fisher exact tests.

Results

The study’s findings revealed that more than two-thirds (67.0%) of the respondents had heard about AI. Their primary sources of information were health workers (36.0%) and media, especially television (34.0%). The majority of the participants (91.3%) had good knowledge about AI as a contagious infection, transmissible from birds to other birds, animals, or humans. A total of 76.8% of the respondents believed that poultry workers and veterinarians were at high risk of contracting AI infection.

Conclusions

The study concluded that poultry workers had good knowledge about AI infection, transmission, and risk variables. Health workers and television were the main sources of information on AI. The level of AI knowledge was high among the respondents.

Background

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are commonly used to treat autoimmune diseases and malignancies in children and adolescents. Growth retardation is a common adverse effect of GC treatment in pediatric patients. Accumulating evidence indicates that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid-induced growth retardation (GIGR), but the roles of specific ncRNAs in growth remain largely unknown.

Methods

In this study, 2-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats had been treated with 2 mg/kg/d of dexamethasone for 7 or 14 days, after which the growth plate tissues were collected for high-throughput RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs, and miRNAs in GIGR rats.

Results

Transcriptomic analysis identified 1,718 mRNAs, 896 lncRNAs, 60 circRNAs, and 72 miRNAs with different expression levels in the 7d group. In the 14d group, 1,515 mRNAs, 880 lncRNAs, 46 circRNAs, and 55 miRNAs with differential expression were identified. Four mRNAs and four miRNAs that may be closely associated with the development of GIGR were further validated by real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR. Function enrichment analysis indicated that the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, and TGF-β signaling pathway participated in the development of the GIGR. Moreover, the constructed ceRNA networks suggested that several miRNAs (including miR-140-3p and miR-127-3p) might play an important role in the pathogenesis of GIGR.

Conclusions

These results provide new insights and important clues for exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying GIGR.

Background

The goal of this study was to assess the reliability of electromyography and range of motion measurements obtained using a knee exercise monitoring system. This device was developed to collect data on knee exercise activities.

Methods

Twenty healthy individuals performed isotonic quadriceps exercises in this study. The vastus medialis surface electromyography (sEMG) and range of motion (ROM) of the knee were recorded during the exercise using the isotonic knee exercise monitoring device, the Mobi6-6b, and a video camera system. Each subject underwent a second measuring session at least 24 h after the first session. To determine reliability, the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and standard error of measurement (SEM) at the 95% confidence interval were calculated, and a Bland–Altman analysis was performed.

Results

For inter-rater reliability, the ICCs of the mean absolute value (MAV) and root mean square (RMS) of sEMG were 0.73 (0.49, 0.86) and 0.79 (0.61, 0.89), respectively. ROM had an ICC of 0.93 (0.02, 0.98). The intra-rater reliability of the MAV of the sEMG was 0.89 (0.71, 0.96) and the intra-rater reliability of RMS of the sEMG was 0.88 (0.70, 0.95). The ROM between days had an intra-rater reliability of 0.82 (0.54, 0.93). The Bland–Altman analysis demonstrated no systematic bias in the MAV and RMS of sEMG, but revealed a small, systematic bias in ROM (−0.8311 degrees).

Conclusion

For sEMG and range of motion measures, the isotonic knee exercise monitoring equipment revealed moderate to excellent inter- and intra-rater agreement. However, the confidence interval of ROM inter-rater reliability was quite large, indicating a small agreement bias; hence, the isotonic knee exercise monitor may not be suitable for measuring ROM. This isotonic knee exercise monitor could detect and collect information on a patient’s exercise activity for the benefit of healthcare providers.

Forest soils are enriched with soil carbon content. The vegetation and precipitation influences it’s chemical structure. The chemical structure directly contributed to its entire properties. Physico-chemical properties play vital role in its soil functioning. The sorption capacity of the humic acid can be applied in the nutrient uptake enhancement and waste water treatment. The study was conducted in the humic acid extract of evergreen forest of different agro-ecological zones of Kerala. Extraction was done by the acidic precipitation method recommended by International Humic Substance Society (IHSS). Determine the chemical structural variations and properties of the humic acid extracts followed by determining the sorption capacity of the material with lead ion. The study revealed the higher percentage of adsorption of lead ion with humic acid extract from evergreen forest of northern high hills –charnockite zone of western  ghats of Kerala. This was the combined effect of enhanced cation exchange capacity and –COOH acidity of the material. These chemical structure and the functional properties to the sorption capacity of the humic acid extract to chelate the lead ion was evaluated .The higher cation exchange capacity and the –COOH acidity favoured the lead ion adsorption. Adsorption isotherm modeling was revealed the multilayer and monolayer adsorption of lead ion on humic acid depends with the heterogeneity of the HA surfaces. Maximum amount of lead ion molecule adsorbed on the HA surface was observed for humic acid from SHH-K agro-ecological zone. This method can be considered as economically viable green method for looking forward technology for waste water treatment.

Due to the complex spatial‐temporal pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (SCI), effective modulation of SCI‐specific inflammatory pathogenesis to achieve desirable therapeutic effects on functional recovery still remains challenging. Herein, cell‐enhanced photocrosslinked silk fibroin hydrogels with extracellular matrix‐mimicking cues of mechanical properties and RGD (Arg‐Gly‐Asp) signals are gelled in situ to fill the lesion site to modulate injury‐induced neuroinflammation and promote neurite regrowth after SCI. The bionic hydrogel system provides biomimetic mechanical cues to promote neuronal differentiation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NPCs) and neurite growth by activating YAP nuclear expression. Importantly, favored by the strong capacity of silk fibroin hydrogels on macrophage/microglia recruitment, NPCs encapsulated hydrogel (NPCs@SFRGD0.1) effectively promotes recruited macrophages/microglia to M2 polarization in the lesion site by releasing S100A4 and thereby remodels the inflammatory microenvironment after SCI. Moreover, NPCs@SFRGD0.1 successfully reduces glial scar formation and accelerates corticospinal tract axon regrowth to improve locomotor recovery. Overall, this work contributes to illustrating the therapeutic mechanism of NPCs development based biomaterial therapies on modulating inflammatory microenvironment and this NPCs enhanced silk fibroin hydrogel provides a promising therapeutic strategy for SCI.
