Authors: Gontarz Jakub , Szulej Jacek
Published: August 2020

The paper presents the results of mechanical tests of three types of rocks from stone mines in Poland. Compression tests of cubic samples, three-point bending tests of beams, bending of beams with notch and testing of tensile strength using the quasi-Brazilian method were performed. Based on the tests, the compressive strength, tensile strength, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratios were determined. The stress intensity factor and critical strain energy release rate in mode I were determined from the bending test of the notched beams. The determined values were used as parameters of computer models which are used to verify the authors’ method of predicting the crack propagation in the Abaqus FEA system.
Contemporary challenges of spatial development of local service centres in the suburban areas of Wrocław – example of Czernica, Poland
Authors: Kryczka Piotr , Chrobak Katarzyna
Published: August 2020

The residential anthropopressure in the areas around large urban centres has become an irrefutable fact. According to many analysts, the suburban development is not related to rational land-use, focused on shaping multifunctional settlement units. The paper is a study of a selected case of spatial development of a service function in the suburban area of Wrocław. The article presents the literature on the subject of building systems of service centres, as well as the analysis of planning documents of the Czernica municipality, including their correlation with higher-order planning studies. As a consequence of the above, the spatial structure of the municipality and potential development possibilities of the service centres system were analysed. For this purpose, GIS analyses (in particular, the analysis of building density or spatial accessibility analysis) were carried out. The research constituted an important starting point for shaping guidelines in the area referring to establishing a hierarchical system of service centres. This led to the further debate on shaping the spaces for integration of rural residents connected to local service centres.
Application of the ANFIS to analysis of results from soil testings
Authors: Daniszewska Ewa
Published: August 2020

The article was analyzed in order to test applicability and capability of the ANFIS tool used for interpretation of results of triaxial shear tests on loamy soils sampled near Olsztyn. The ANFIS system in the Matlab software programme was used to model and determine relationships between the shear stress and soil resistance parameters in a triaxial shear test apparatus. It has been demonstrated that the achieved shear strength parameters are significantly affected by the variables tested during the triaxial experiments and physical parameters of a given soil sample, but also by the loading increment rate during the tests. It is extremely important to adjust the rate of loading during a test according to the preliminary characterization of a tested ground sample so as to have some control over the obtained ground strength parameters. The neuro-fuzzy model has been constructed based on a set of values obtained after a series of experimental tests, including values of ground shear strength parameters. The database used for the neuro-fuzzy modelling consisted of 6 different ground parameters for each of the 12 shear stress rates applied during the triaxial tests. The learnability was verified on a database composed of the test results – a neuro-fuzzy model was built from learning sets and its accuracy was verified by sets of tests to which the model was applied for the first time. The results obtained from the ANFIS model did not diverge substantially from the ones obtained directly by performing the physical tests. The ANFIS proved to be highly universal and easy to operate. It accounted for the multi-faceted nature of interrelationships between ground parameters.

Authors: Budzyński Waldemar , Góra Jacek , Piasta Wojciech , Turkiewicz Tadeusz
Published: August 2020

Test results concern modulus of elasticity and compressive strength of ordinary concretes made of various coarse aggregates from igneous rocks. Test results of some properties of these aggregates (3 crushed granites, 3 basalts, granodiorite, natural gravel) are also considered. The variable factor of the studies is the type of coarse aggregate. According to the analyses of regression and correlation there occurs a significant effect of the aggregate grinding ratio on the modulus of elasticity of concretes contrary to insignificant effect of the compressive strength. The modulus of elasticity of 4 concretes from Polish and Ukrainian granites and basalt aggregates is lower than respective standard values of the modulus.

Authors: Grzeszczyk Stefania , Jurowski Krystian
Published: August 2020

The paper presents the research results of the influence of metakaolin of different fineness that is applied as a microfiller (20% of the cement mass) on the properties of self-compacting underwater concrete. It is demonstrated that the metakaolin with higher fineness improves the efficiency of antiwashout admixture and superplasticizer in concrete mixture. It was revealed that the higher resistance to washout of cement paste from the concrete mixture and higher flowability in comparison to the mixture containing metakaolin with lower content of fine fraction (below 10μm). In addition, the positive effect of the higher fineness of metakaolin on the compressive strength and freeze thaw scaling resistance was proven in the self-compacting underwater concrete.
The introductory evaluation of possibility of using waste perlite powder in building polymer composites
Authors: Łukowski Paweł , Sokołowska Joanna , Kępniak Maja
Published: August 2020

The paper deals with possibility of use of waste perlite powder as a microfiller in the building polymer composites. The perlite powder influences the technological properties of the polymer mixes, while the mechanical properties of the hardened composite are not significantly affected. The obtained results confirm the possibility of rational use of the waste material, which is in agreement with the rules of the sustainable development in construction. Till now, 5 % (by mass) of conventional microfiller in the polyester composite have been successfully substituted by perlite powder, which means the utilization of  large amounts of this waste, due to its low bulk density (< 100 kg/m3). The authors will attempt to increase the degree of substitution. However, it will require resolving some technological problems involved particularly with the deterioration of the polymer mixes workability by the addition of the perlite powder.
Numerical analysis of soil-steel bridge
Authors: Bęben Damian , Wrzeciono Michał
Published: August 2020

The paper presents a numerical analysis of the soil-steel bridge in the scope of static loads. The Abaqus program based on the FEM was used to calculations. Maximum displacements were obtained in the shell crown, and the largest stresses in the haunches. Calculation results were compared with the experimental ones and previous calculations obtained from the Robot Millenium program. The shapes of calculated displacements and stresses are similar to those obtained with the experiment, but the absolute values were generally higher than measured ones. Using both calculation programs, the relative reductions of displacement were in the range of 15–39%, and 17–44% for stresses in favour of the Abaqus program. Developed calculation model of the soil-steel bridge in the Abaqus program allows to obtain reasonable values of internal forces in the shell structure.

Authors: Błazik-Borowa Ewa , Gontarz Jakub
Published: August 2020

This paper describes the results of static non-linear calculations in reference to a typical building scaffolding, in the case when the scaffolding is operated. The influence of the value and localization of imperfections was analyzed in the researches. It was found that the geometrical imperfections cause the increase of internal forces, and the highest increase occurs in the lowest elements. Higher normal stresses were also obtained when imperfections were modelled as regular horizontal displacements of decks than in the case, when they were arranged according to the form of buckling.
The analysis of the deformation of single node in a modular scaffolding system
Authors: Pieńko Michał
Published: August 2020

The increasingly complex engineering structures of scaffoldings require optimal designing in terms of safety, economy and erection. This approach requires detailed knowledge of the static-strength properties of elements, as well as knowledge of their interconnections. The paper deals with the laboratory tests of deformations in modular scaffolding nodes for the following loads: torque of the ledger, shearing and bending in the horizontal plane. The original grip was used in the study, which allows to load the node with aforementioned loads. The result of research is a description of the deformation of the nodes and the load-displacement graphs. The studies presented in the paper indicate that graphs are repeatable, which is not obvious in the case of nodes assembled manually. This means that it can be used as a basis for the verification of non-linear numerical analysis, which will have to take into account such issues as the material nonlinearities, geometric nonlinearities, contact and friction.

Authors: Iwański Marek , Chomicz-Kowalska Anna , Ramiączek Piotr , Maciejewski Krzysztof , Iwański Mateusz
Published: August 2020

This study attempts to evaluate the influence of two advisable methods for compacting laboratory specimens of road base recycled mixes with foamed bitumen (MCAS) and bitumen emulsion (MCE). The obligatory regulations for this technology permit fabrication of the specimens using either an impact Marshall compactor or a static hydraulic press. The research showed that the compaction method influenced both the physical and mechanical properties of samples regardless of the type of bitumen binder. What is more, the structure of the material changed after the impact compaction process, which manifested in fact that many of the aggregate particles were crushed in its course. Better strength and resistance to moisture damage was observed in samples prepared in the hydraulic press. This was associated with lower void contents obtained in this compaction method.

Authors: Gitonga Esther , Miano Anne
Published: August 2020

Corporate governance is regarded as the key foundation upon which organizations are more productive, better managed and controlled. Performance has a link to good corporate governance for the sustainable organizational success. This project narrowed down specifically to the factor of corporate governance to determine the practice of corporate governance in SACCOs in Kiambu County, Kenya. The researcher used a descriptive survey design in soliciting information on the practice of corporate governance in SACCOs in Kiambu County, Kenya. The research also made use of both secondary and primary data. Secondary data was collected from statistical data available from the SASRA records and those from the Ministry of Cooperatives. Primary data was obtained by use of a closed ended questionnaire administered on senior managers of the sampled SACCOs. The target population was 8 deposit taking SACCOs and a total population of 200 SACCO managers in Kiambu County, Kenya. Each SACCO had a different number of respondents depending on its size and the number of senior managers in it.  Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to generate quantitative reports which is presented in this project in the form of tabulations, percentages and descriptive statistics and inferential data computed using a regression equation. The findings of this project are that the practices of corporate governance have a direct effect on the overall performance of SACCOs in Kiambu County, Kenya contributing to 70% of the factors affecting performance. Recommendations put forward from the findings of this project is that there is need to research on the effect of corporate governance on performance of other institutions such as commercial banks, microfinance institutions and small and medium enterprises. The findings of the research include the finding that majority of those in senior positions in the SAACOs sampled are men at 64% of the sample size while women are at 36%. Another finding of the research is that majority of those in senior management positions are persons aged between 40 and 59 years. The research further brought out the fact that majority of the respondents comprising of 39% had held their current position for a period of between 4 and 6 years while 42% of the respondents had worked in the SACCO for a period of between 10 and 12 years. One of the recommendations from the research is on the need to have increased disclosure of information to the shareholders. A further recommendation was the need to train the board of governance often on corporate governance so as to better equip them to uphold the practice in their respective SAACOs. A final recommendation is the need for further research by other scholars.

YEMENI CIVIL WAR: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES AND PROSPECTS
Authors: Ahmed Niaz
Published: August 2020

Yemeni conflict reflects the failure of the Yemeni government to address the common needs to its citizen, the uprising of politically marginalized Houthis and the corrupt state, which bring the country into civil war. This article is an attempt to know the causes, consequences, and the role of foreign powers and also the entire situation of Yemeni civil war. Yemen is the poorest Arab country in the world. Due to the effect of the Arab Socialist Movement, Yemen’s Imamate ruling system disintegrated in 1970 and the country divided into two nations, North Yemen and South Yemen. Again in 1990 under the leadership of Ali Abdullah Saleh, both have been united into one nation. The corrupt rule of government, the unhealthy treatment of Houthi minority and the internal conflict made the country more unstable. Political transition happed in 2011 for the stabilization of the country, but it fails to bring peace and finally in 2015 Yemen faces a devastating civil war. Different attempts have been taken by the international community for normalizing the conflict, but all fail to bring peace. The country is suffering the worst humanitarian crisis. Saudi Arabia and Iran is the main player in the conflict. This qualitative study will try to highlight the different scenario of Yemen and also provide an overview of the civil conflict.

Authors: Istanto Widya , Tua Erik Maruli
Published: August 2020

Kemunculan dan penyebaran severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) menyebabkan krisis kesehatan yang mengancam dunia. Infeksi yang disebabkan SARS-CoV-2 disebut coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Laporan WHO per tanggal 30 Mei 2020, terdapat 5.817.385 kasus dengan 362.705 kematian secara global dengan 249.525 kasus dan 7.157 kematian di wilayah Asia Tenggara.

Cara penularan COVID-19 dari manusia ke manusia telah diidentifikasi melalui droplet dan kontak langsung atau secara tidak langsung melalui sentuhan benda. SARS-CoV-2 pertama kali ditularkan dari hewan ke manusia di pasar basah Wuhan dan akhirnya mempertahankan penularan dari manusia ke manusia. Penyebaran virus ini semakin meluas sehingga menimbulkan pandemi. Kondisi pandemi menimbulkan banyak tantangan bagi sistem kesehatan terutama dalam pengendalian infeksi dan penatalaksanaan penyakit.

Ahli anestesi memainkan peran penting dalam epidemi, karena kasus yang dicurigai atau dikonfirmasi mungkin memerlukan anestesi untuk tindakan pembedahan, serta keahlian manajemen jalan napas dalam kasus yang kritis. Pada kasus yang memerlukan tindakan pembedahan, ahli anestesi berperan dalam penilaian pasien COVID-19 pre-operasi, intraoperasi, dan pascaoperasi.

Pandemi COVID-19 telah menjadi salah satu masalah kesehatan utama di Dunia. Penyakit yang disebabkan oleh SARS-CoV-2 ini menular dengan cepat via droplet. Kegagalan mengenali gejala awal COVID-19 berperan dalam terlambatnya melakukan isolasi penderita untuk mencegah penularan dan pemberian penanganan dini untuk menghambat komplikasi. Manifestasi klinis penyakit tidak hanya terbatas pada gangguan pernapasan. Laporan kasus dan studi terbaru dari berbagai tempat telah melaporkan keterlibatan sistem organ lain dalam penyakit COVID-19, seperti gastrointestinal dan integumen. Kemampuan sistem imunitas tubuh yang adekuat di fase awal infeksi menjadi salah satu faktor penentu prognosis bagi penderita COVID-19. Artikel review ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji literatur yang membahas patogenesis, manifestasi klinis, dan karakteristik COVID-19 pada berbagai sistem organ. Pemahaman mengenai karakteristik, patogenesis, dan identifikasi gejala awal dapat membantu meminimalisir transmisi dan komplikasi dari COVID-19.

Published: August 2020

LATAR BELAKANG: Kondisi pandemi, kasus Covid-19 semakin meningkat, manifestasi klinis seperti demam, batuk, diare, muntah, sakit kepala, mialgia dan kelelahan, mungkin sulit untuk membedakan COVID-19 dari spektrum penyakit dengan manifestasi serupa, seperti malaria dan cacingan, terutama di daerah endemik. Di Indonesia belum ada artikel yang membahas Covid-19 dengan koinfeksi malaria dan cacing. TUJUAN: Tujuan penulisan ini adalah menelaah dampak klinis infeksi Covid-19 dengan komorbid infeksi parasit yaitu malaria dan kecacingan. METODE: Penelusuran kepustakaan 154 jurnal, terdapat 4 jurnal yang relevan. DISKUSI: Manifestasi klinis malaria yang parah terjadi karena respon proinflamasi yang meningkat, hal yang sama terjadi dalam banyak kasus COVID-19. Koinfeksi Malaria dan COVID-19 dapat menyebabkan respons pro-inflamasi yang berlebihan, manifestasi klinis lebih parah dan prognosis buruk. Berdasarkan imunopatogenitas dari infeksi cacing di daerah endemis, dikhawatirkan hal tersebut akan meningkatkan keparahan gejala Covid-19 pada pasien dengan koinfeksi cacing. KESIMPULAN: Pada kasus Covid-19 yang diikuti dengan koinfeksi malaria menunjukkan keparahan manifestasi klinis akibat peningkatan respon inflamasi. Diduga bahwa respon imun hospes terhadap cacing akan memberikan dampak klinis yang lebih berat pada kasus Covid-19.

BACKGROUND: The condition of the Covid-19 pandemic where the number of cases is increasing. Clinical manifestations such as fever, cough, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, myalgia and fatigue, it may be difficult to distinguish COVID-19 from the spectrum of diseases with similar manifestations, such as malaria and intestinal worms, especially in endemic areas. Indonesia there are no articles discussing Covid-19 with malaria and worm coinfection. OBJECTIVE: The purpose this article is to review the clinical impact of Covid-19 infection with comorbid parasitic infections, in this case malaria and worms. METHOD: Search the literature of 154 journals, there are 4 journals that are relevant DISCUSSION: The severe manifestations of malaria occur because of an increased proinflammatory response, the same thing happens in many cases of COVID-19. Malaria coinfection and COVID-19 can then cause excessive pro-inflammatory responses, severe manifestations and a poor prognosis. In addition, based on immunopathogenicity from worm infections in endemic areas, it is feared that this will increase the severity of Covid-19 symptoms in patients with worm co-infection. CONCLUSION: In the case of Covid-19 followed by co-infection with malaria, it shows the severity of clinical manifestations due to increased inflammatory response. Tobe assumed that the host's immune response to worms will have a more severe clinical impact in the Covid-19 case.

A acne é uma doença inflamatória crônica da unidade pilossebácea e acomete aproximadamente 80% da população jovem. Há inúmeros tratamentos para a acne vulgar, entretanto, estudos têm demonstrado que o laser é uma modalidade alternativa e efetiva para tratamento da acne vulgar, que tem se mostrado como uma alternativa às medicações tópicas e orais. Esta pesquisa é caracterizada como revisão bibliográfica narrativa. O recorte temporal desta pesquisa foi de estudos publicados no período de 2004 a 2019. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever os principais mecanismos de ação, efeitos biológicos e os benefícios do uso do laser terapêutico no tratamento da acne vulgar. O laser terapêutico atua nos principais fatores fisiopatológicos desta afecção, inclusive podendo minimizar as lesões inflamatórias da acne. Estudos demonstraram que o tratamento da acne vulgar com laser foi um método eficaz para a redução do número de lesões de acne graus II e III e que apresenta mínimos efeitos adversos quando comparado com tratamento medicamentoso. Esse fato confere ao laser uma opção real de tratamento, principalmente para os pacientes com contraindicação aos outros métodos de tratamento. Embora sejam eficazes, em geral, os lasers diferem em termos de efeitos colaterais e resultados clínicos, dependendo do fototipo de pele e do tipo de cicatriz de acne do paciente, cabendo ao profissional escolher o melhor tipo de laser para cada tratamento de acne. Estudos clínicos rigorosos e contínuos para as novas modalidades de laser que entram no mercado são críticos para garantir sua segurança e eficácia no tratamento da acne e no desenvolvimento de protocolos terapêuticos apropriados.

Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar o número de linfócitos T CD4 + e carga viral em pacientes infectados com HIV, atendidos em laboratório de referência em Goiânia, Goiás. Trata-se de pesquisa  observacional, longitudinal e retrospectiva. Foram avaliados prontuários eletrônicos de pacientes submetidos ao exame de contagem de linfócitos T CD4 + e carga viral, no período de janeiro de 2015 a dezembro de 2017. Dos 14 pacientes avaliados, 35,7% (n=5/14) obtiveram, no primeiro exame, resultados abaixo de 200 células/mm³ e a quantificação da carga víral foi expressiva. Na quantificação de linfócitos T CD4+, 85,7% (n=12/14) dos pacientes possuíam valores abaixo do valor de referência (VR) mínimo, quando fizeram o primeiro exame, após o diagnóstico, e todos estes tiveram a carga de RNA viral acima do valor mínimo quantificável (VR: 560 células/mm³ a 2700 células/mm³). Foi constatado que, dos 12 dos pacientes que no início apresentaram valores abaixo do normal, 4 deles (33,3%) conseguiram atingir valores normais de linfócitos T CD4+, após o tratamento, e 50,0% (n=6/12) dos pacientes alcançaram níveis indetectáveis de carga viral. O monitoramento imune, feito pela citometria de fluxo, aliado a quantificação da carga viral de RNA, ganha notoriedade, pois, por meio destas ferramentas, pode-se determinar o grau de comprometimento imunológico dos pacientes e a eficácia do tratamento com antirretroviral.

Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar a prevalência de dislipidemias de acordo com sexo e faixa etária de indivíduos atendidos em um hospital de Goiânia-GO. Trata-se de um estudo do tipo observacional, transversal, realizado a partir de dados disponibilizados, no período de fevereiro/2017 a março/2018. A amostra representativa consistiu de indivíduos com alteração no perfil lipídico independente do gênero e da faixa etária. Os valores referenciais e a classificação das dislipidemias seguiram os critérios da Atualização da Diretriz Brasileira de Dislipidemias e Prevenção da Aterosclerose – 2017. Os resultados foram tabulados em Microsoft Excel®, analisados em BioStat®, considerando p<0,05 (IC 95%). Estudo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás. Contou com uma população de 7699 pacientes, destes 3014 (39%) eram do sexo feminino e 4685 (61%) do sexo masculino. Cerca de 69% dos pacientes apresentaram perfil lipídico alterado. A maior prevalência de paciente com HDL-C baixo, foi do sexo feminino com 44 %, já o predomínio da hiperlipidemia mista foi do sexo masculino com 10%, ambos independente da faixa etária e sendo p< 0,0001 (IC 95%). A maioria da população estudada apresentou dislipidemia, sendo evidente a maior prevalência de HDL-C baixo no sexo feminino e de hiperlipidemia mista no sexo masculino. Tal observação demonstra a necessidade de investigação de alterações no perfil lipídico para diagnóstico precoce e prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares.

THE AIM: to study the functional state ofthe kidneys in patientswith chronic heart failure (CHF)and obesity. PATIENTS AND METH­ODS. 116 patients with CHF l-lll functional class (FC) 45-65 years old are divided into three comparable groups depending on body mass index (BMI). A physical examination was performed, evaluated the renal function, the level of leptin and adiponectin, assessed the insulin resistance index, the combined risk of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the development of cardiovascular complications was analyzed. RESULTS. Among patients with CHF and obesity, a statistically significant decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was observed compared with patients of the 1st group (61.3 [46.2; 67.1] vs 73.2 [62.1; 86.3] ml/min / 1.73 m2), a clinically significant decrease in GFR <60 ml/min /1.73 m2 (CKD C3a-3b), high (A2) and very high (A3) albu­minuria (AU) compared in patientswith normal and overweight. The leptin concentration significantly increased from the 1st to the 3rd group, while the adiponectin concentration decreased from the 1st to the 3rd group. Statistically significant correlations were established between the concentration of leptin and GFR (r = -0.52), AC (r = 0.36), between the concentration of adiponectin and GFR (r = 0.38), AC (r = -0.32). Significant associations were found among patientswith overweight and obesity between the severity of AU, GFR, and HOMA-IR, metabolic index. CONCLUSION. A significant deterioration in the functional parameters ofthe kidneys in patientswith CHF with increasing body weight, as well as an increase in the combined risk of CKD progression and the development of cardiovascular complications with comparable FC, was established. The revealed reliable relationships reflect the significant pathogenetic contribution of the hormonal activity of visceral adipose tissue and insulin resistance to the development and progression of renal dysfunction in patients with heart failure and obesity.
