Published: September 2022

Electronic business relies heatedly on a predictive tool to provide consumers with the products online in a brief moment. E-commerce activities are handled by many buyers globally compared to conventional distribution, and with a broader range of products but a limited amount. This article aims to help the information review systemically manage consumer relationships in institutional and cultural aspects of the logistic management (ICA-LM) model. In preparation for the ICA-LM to be adequate to discuss static and dynamic attributes for removing precious secret information, the neural network and the class label are integrated. In this way, real-life client needs are defined and potential clients listed with limited time to generate client relationship maintenance (CRM) feedback for clients. The research in Hong Kong, a transportation management firm prototype, shows and validates CRM information gathering in the developing e-commerce logistics sector in the actual world.

Due to the intense competition, retaining users and facilitating their continuance are crucial to the success of online music communities. The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of sense of community on users' continuance intention of online music communities. Structural equation modeling was adopted to conduct data analysis. The results indicated that social support and flow experience have significant effects on sense of community, which further affects continuance intention. The main limitation is that the results need to be generalized to other countries that had developed online music communities. This research disclosed the mechanism underlying users' continuance in online music communities, which represent an emerging application.
A Secure Data Transfer Approach With an Efficient Key Management Over Cloud
Authors: Gupta Lalit Mohan , Garg Hitendra , Samad Abdus
Published: September 2022

The growth in the number of cloud users who transfer their health data have enhanced the importance of cloud technology's services and capabilities. However, transferring patient health data to the cloud leaves researchers with several concerns and obstacles in privacy, storage, access, key-formation, and management. The paper presents an efficient methodology for storing and accessing health information to and from the cloud. The symmetric key cryptography with the MD5 hash function is employed to enhance the framework's efficiency. The proposed method also provides secure data sharing and removes the burden of an exhaustive re-encryption computation. In the paper, two different keys are computed: one key for each legitimate user among a group and another key for the crypto-system, which is responsible to do all computations over the data. The method provides security against internal threats since only a single share of the key can be accessed. The efficiency of the model is measured by measuring the execution time for key formation, encryption, and decryption processes.

Authors: Chakraborty Samantak , Azam Mohammad Khalid , Sana
Published: September 2022

Previous studies have examined consumer attitudes toward online services, while few studies have explored factors affecting the behavioural intention of online food delivery services. The purpose of this study is to explore factors that affect the adoption of online food delivery services of Indian millennials by examining the structural relationship between hedonic motivation, utilitarian motivation, price-saving orientation, time-saving orientation, attitude, and behavioural intentions using the theory of planned behaviour. Data from 328 Indian millennials were collected for the study by a self-administered and structured questionnaire. The proposed model was investigated empirically using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) for the validation of scale and then using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structured equation modeling (SEM). The study's results showed that only the relationship of time-saving orientation with the attitude towards was proven insignificant, while others were significant.
Locating Faulty Source Code Files to Fix Bug Reports
Authors: Hamdy Abeer , Arabi Abdelrahman E.
Published: September 2022

Open source software is usually released while it still contains bugs. In order to fix a reported bug during maintenance phase, the developer has to search the source code files to identify the faulty ones; this process is called bug localization (BL). Automating BL is a necessity to boost the developer's productivity and enhance the software quality. The paper proposes an information retrieval based approach for retrieving and ranking a list of suspicious faulty source files relevant to a submitted bug report (BR). The proposed approach leverages textual features of the BRs and source files, which are parts-of-speech tagging, lexical and semantic similarity between the source files and BRs, in addition to the source file change history. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was evaluated over three open-source software repositories. Experimental results showed the superiority of the proposed approach over eight previous approaches in terms of top@N and MAP metrics.

Authors: Raheja Supriya
Published: September 2022

The aftermath of the lockdown caused by the current pandemic generates many challenges and opportunities for the professionals as well as for organizations. Several organizations forced the people to work on-site whereas many of the organizations have been allowing work from home. However, both ways of working are challenging and cause psychological distress. The present work analyses the psychological distress among professionals residing in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. The work considers both the scenarios of working professionals: professionals working from home and professionals working onsite. The work introduces a novel hybrid machine learning approach called GBETRR. GBETRR combines two approaches, namely gradient-boosting classifier and extra-trees regressor repressor. The present work also uses a hybrid parameter optimization algorithm. Multiple performance metrics are used to evaluate the performance evaluation. Results revealed that the professionals with work from home are more stressed as compared to the professionals working onsite.
A Systematic Survey of Automatic Loan Approval System Based on Machine Learning
Authors: Sharma Vandana , Sharma Rewa
Published: September 2022

The banking sector is an integral part of an economy as it helps in capital formation. One of the most critical issues of banks is the risk involved in loan applications. Employing machine learning to automate the loan approval process is a significant advancement. For this topic, all classification algorithms have been tested and assessed in previous researches; however, it is still unclear which methodology is best for a particular type of dataset. It is still difficult to identify which model is the most effective. Since each model is dependent on a certain dataset or classification approach, it is critical to create a versatile model appropriate for any dataset or attribute collection. The aim of the study is to provide detailed analysis of previous studies and to propose a predictive model for automatic loan prediction using four classification algorithms. Exploratory data analysis is performed to obtain correlation between various features and to get insights of banking datasets.
Artemisinin-based combination therapy amongst medical students in the University of Benin, South-South Nigeria: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Ayinbuomwan Stephen , Opadeyi Abimbola , Isah Ambose
Published: September 2022

Since 2005, the recommended first-line therapy for uncomplicated malaria in Nigeria has been Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT). Previous research indicates that these therapies are widely accepted by health care providers and other end users. Nonetheless, few studies have examined the preferences of clinical students who will be future prescribers of these medications. This was a descriptive cross-sectional survey of medical students undergoing clinical placements at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital in Benin City, Edo State, South-South Nigeria, to assess ACT preferences, tolerability, and cost considerations. Consenting clinical medical students who were recruited sequentially were given a semi-structured questionnaire. The questionnaire collected information about the students’ demographics, previous episodes of malaria symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Their preferred antimalarial, tolerability to ACTs, and ACT cost. The information was presented descriptively. There were 475 registered clinical students, but only 416 agreed to participate in the survey, yielding an 87.6% response rate. The students’ mean (standard deviation) age was 24.3 (3.8) years, with a male preponderance of 250 (60.1%). The majority, 154 (37.0%), were in the 600 level, while the 500 and 400 levels were 130 (31.3%) and 132 (31.7%), respectively. The majority of students, 272 (65.5%), treated malaria presumptively, and the majority of students, 344 (82.7%), had treated one to five episodes of malaria in the previous 12 months. The ACTs were known to nearly all of the final year clinical students (97.4%). The majority, 289 (69.5%), had no adverse drug reactions with the ACTs. Among those who experienced adverse drug reactions, 23 (39.7%) discontinued their medication, while 2 (3.4%) required hospitalization. The mean cost of the ACT was ₦1263.4 (SD ± 529.6) (₦=Naira) (3.0 USD), with a range of ₦ 300- ₦3000 (0.72- 7.2 USD). This study demonstrates a high level of acceptance for ACTs, particularly artemether-lumefantrine. However, the adverse effects of ACTs, particularly other recommended ACTs, must be evaluated on a regular basis because they may have an impact on their continued use.
Periureteral Liposarcoma Causes of Hydroureter and Hydronephrosis
Authors: Lin Tzu- En , Wen Kuo-Chang , Lai Hung-Cheng , Chu Ling-Hui
Published: September 2022

When obstructive lesions from the uterus or ovaries are suspected, patients with hydronephrosis are usually referred to a gynecologist. Here, a case of suspected endometriosis-related hydroureteronephrosis is reported. A 43-year-old woman with hydronephrosis was found to have a left distal periureteral tumor on the computerized tomography scan. Before the operation, the hydroureteronephrosis was suspected caused by the obstruction of ureter, related with ureteral endometriosis; however, the postoperative pathology revealed the diagnosis of retroperitoneal well-differentiated liposarcoma. When female patients have hydronephrosis, gynecologic causes should be considered. Both benign and malignant causes are needed to include when making differential diagnosis. Therefore, robot-assisted surgery is a feasible option because of its lower morbidity rate and more precise dissection of soft tissue than laparotomy in both benign and malignant retroperitoneal tumors.
Effect of preoperative anxiety on postoperative pain in patients undergoing elective lower-segment cesarean section under spinal anesthesia
Authors: Suresh Yuvashree , Lakshminarasimhan Aswini
Published: September 2022

Background:

Anxiety is often encountered but overlooked in patients undergoing elective surgery. Anxiety may influence the perception of postoperative pain which is one of the major concerns for all patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative anxiety on postoperative pain and to find if any relation exists between demographic variables and anxiety in cesarean patients.

Methodology:

One hundred and twelve patients undergoing elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were evaluated for preoperative anxiety on the day before surgery using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale questionnaire-based face-to-face interview, and postoperative pain was recorded every 6 h after surgery for 24 h using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).

Results:

The prevalence of preoperative anxiety in the study subjects was 36%. The need for high information was 22%. The mean for anesthesia-related anxiety, information desire component, combined anxiety score, and VAS scores was 4.21 ± 2.63, 3.23 ± 2.15, 8.72 ± 4.60, and 5.30 ± 1.86, respectively. Postoperative pain was found to be correlating with higher levels of preoperative anxiety (r = 0.25, P < 0.01). Information desire component was found to have a positive, moderate, and significant correlation with anxiety score (r = 0.49, P < 0.01). No statistically significant relationship was found between sociodemographic characteristics and preoperative anxiety.

Conclusion:

This study demonstrated a positive and statistically significant correlation between preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain. Well-conducted randomized controlled studies are required to determine whether reducing anxiety before a surgery results in reduced postoperative pain response. Anxiety-reducing measures can be employed throughout the preoperative period in the surgical population to reduce postoperative pain in addition to analgesics.

Obligations of vehicle drivers and pedestrians walking across zebra crossings pursuant to the amendments to the Act on Road Traffic

The subject of the article is an analysis of the amendments regarding a pedestrian walking across pedestrian crossing, introduced by the Act of February 25, 2021 amending the Act on Road Traffic. Its aim is to interpret the concept, provided in Article 13 (1a) of the Act on Road Traffic, of a pedestrian entering a pedestrian crossing as well as his/her duty to exercise special care, not to enter the road directly in front of a moving vehicle and not to use a telephone or other electric devices. The considerations were also aimed at clarifying the obligations, related to pedestrians rights, of the driver of the vehicle approaching the pedestrian crossing, consisting in reducing the speed so as not to endanger the pedestrian on this crossing or entering it, and giving way to a pedestrian entering the zebra crossing. To achieve these goals, research methods such as the analysis of the normative text together with linguistic and logical methods were used. The article is important as it clarifies the controversy arising from Art. 13 (1a) of the Act on Road Traffic primarily to road traffic experts, drivers and pedestrians.

Authors: Sitek Anna , Greser Jarosław , Knieć Wojciech , Wagstaff Anthony , Kautsch Marcin , Martinez-Perez Jonatan
Published: September 2022

The aim of the article is to present selected issues related to the impact of the pandemic on the universality of e-health services, as well as to show the readiness to use such services by the inhabitants of urban and rural areas in Poland. Several hypotheses are launched regarding the COVID-19 effect in relation to the implementation, use and access to e-health services and the skills needed to use them. The article includes an analysis of the legal and social context accompanying organisational changes in the health care system caused by the presence of the COVID-19 virus, as well as an analysis of the results of quantitative research on the attitude of rural residents to such solutions. Data obtained in a study from the WE Patients Foundation provide some insight into the complexity of factors governing e-health use, showing less differences between city and rural areas than we hypothesised.
Archiwa in statu nascendi. Tymoteusz Karpowicz i Krystyna Miłobędzka – wstęp do badań nad procesem twórczym

Published: September 2022

The Archives in statu nascendi. Tymoteusz Karpowicz and Krystyna Miłobędzka – an Introduction to Creativity Research

The article is to present a preliminary analysis of chosen archival materials by Tymoteusz Karpowicz and Krystyna Miłobędzka –the representatives of Polish postwar Avant-garde. The study is a part of the multiperspective research on these two partly related poetic projects, which seem to be similar in seeking for experiments and new forms of expression, although they are based on different concepts and stylistics. Further research on the creative processes, exposing the material, dynamic and intentionally open-ended nature of their texts can shed a new light on the history of Polish postwar Avant-garde. The archives of Karpowicz and Miłobędzka remain the ‘works in progress’, which is significant in the context of their creative programs and poetic practices.

Księga kabał królowej Sobieskiej. Teksty w języku włoskim
Authors: Boni Fabio , Śnieżyńska-Stolot Ewa
Published: September 2022

Rękopis [Księga kabał królowej Sobieskiej] nie został dotąd tak wszechstronnie opracowany i skomentowany jako źródło do poznania mentalności w drugiej połowie XVII wieku, zwłaszcza zaś oceny oddziaływania na nią i roli, jaką w tym oddziaływaniu odgrywały wzorce myślenia magicznego. Przez autora (autorów) tego tekstu zostały one do pewnego stopnia uprawomocnione przez odwoływanie się do autorytetu Biblii, a także do tradycji mistyki żydowskiej, czyli właśnie kabały. Ta bowiem w okresie wczesnonowożytnym, szczególnie w wiekach XVI–XVII, łączona bywała z tradycją neoplatońską, tak charakterystyczną dla prądu humanistyczno-renesansowego. Owe relacje między świadomością magiczno-kabalistyczną a elementami prądów filozoficznych omówiono wyczerpująco i w niektórych punktach w sposób odkrywczy w erudycyjnym wstępie [… ]. Wartość poznawcza tego wstępu oraz komentarzy szczegółowych odnoszących się do rękopiśmiennego tekstu Księgi kabał królowej Sobieskiej jest spora także dla większego grona odbiorców niż wąski tylko krąg specjalistów [… ]. Tekst uświadamia doniosłość oddziaływania mentalności magicznej na sposób pojmowania i opisywania rzeczywistości w epoce określanej w kulturze Zachodu jako „wiek rozumu”, czyli na przełomie XVII i XVIII wieku. [… ] Inną jeszcze godną podkreślenia zaletą publikacji jest uprzystępnienie czytelnikowi polskiemu nie tylko oryginału w poprawnej, zweryfikowanej wersji językowej, ale także jego treści w języku polskim dzięki szczegółowemu omówieniu we wstępie; konkretnych, drobiazgowych „przepisów” lekarsko-magicznych na różnego rodzaju dolegliwości czy nawet choroby. Informacje te mogą stanowić wartościowy, wiarygodny klucz pojęciowy dla badaczy rozmaitych tekstów, także poetyckich, reprezentatywnych dla kultury literackiej polskiej i europejskiej drugiej połowy XVII wieku.

Published: September 2022

W monografii przedstawiono wyniki badań nad stosowaniem instytucji partycypacji społecznej w Krakowie. Badania przeprowadzone w 2021 roku objęły: konsultacje społeczne, petycje, budżet obywatelski, obywatelską inicjatywę uchwałodawczą oraz inicjatywę lokalną. W książce zaprezentowano również zagadnienia wprowadzające do podejmowanej problematyki, pokazujące partycypację społeczną w ujęciach teoretycznym i politycznym, a także z perspektywy rozwoju koncepcji zarządzania publicznego, koncepcji Smart City oraz wprowadzania jej do zarządzania w samorządzie gminnym. Tytułowy minimalizm formalny to dążenie do pokazania poprzez ocenę stanu faktycznego, jak trudne jest przenoszenie na praktykę polityczną nośnych i popularnych koncepcji zarządzania publicznego oraz realizacja celów strategicznych miasta. „Monografię oceniam pozytywnie ze względu na aktualność podjętej tematyki, zakres obejmujący różne formy partycypacji społecznej zarysowany na tle szerszych koncepcji zarządzania publicznego, ukazanie rozwiązań praktycznego ich stosowania na przykładzie miasta Krakowa”. Z recenzji prof. dr. hab. Marka Ćwiklickiego „Recenzowana praca w pełni spełnia metodologiczne założenia stawiane publikacjom z zakresu nauk społecznych. Stanowi połączenie metod badawczych stosowanych w dyscyplinie nauki o polityce i administracji oraz nauki o zarządzaniu i jakości. Warto też podkreślić, obok złożoności podjętego problemu, śmiałość i precyzję snutych przez autorów wywodów, a także – co bardzo cenne – obiektywizm i nieuleganie ideologiczno-empirycznym uprzedzeniom”.

Amplamente distribuído em quase toda a América do Sul, o mustelídeo Galictis cuja é um carnívoro pouco conhecido no Brasil, apesar de apresentar ocorrência em quase todos os biomas. Há poucas ocorrências documentadas da espécie para a Caatinga, tendo sido registrada no Rio Grande do Norte apenas em três documentos recentes. Aspectos básicos como a distribuição geográfica são necessários para melhor compreensão da biologia da espécie, principalmente na Caatinga, onde há escassez de estudos. Realizamos o levantamento de registros de G. cuja através de dados de atropelamento dos últimos oito anos (2013-2021) em estradas circundantes a duas unidades de conservação do estado, dos relatórios de impacto ambiental (RIMA) dos últimos 11 anos (2010-2021) e de buscas na literatura. Quatro espécimes de G. cuja foram registradas através do monitoramento de estradas, um registro através de RIMA, e três registros publicados. A escassez de registros de G. cuja evidencia a raridade da espécie e faz necessárias a otimização e a padronização da metodologia utilizada para levantamento de espécies pelas empresas de consultoria ambiental, cujos RIMA gerados podem ser utilizados como ferramentas valiosíssimas para o conhecimento das espécies da região, especialmente daquelas com carência de estudos, como a Caatinga.

Authors: Alves Jamille Evangelista , Gonçalves Thiago Dos Santos , Nascimento Sérgio Augusto De Morais
Published: September 2022

Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar tendências e variabilidade pluviométricas na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Cachoeira, região Nordeste do Brasil. Os dados utilizados compreendem séries históricas de precipitações totais mensais de seis estações pluviométricas para o período de 1970 a 2020 (51 anos) obtidos no Sistema de Informações Hidrológicas (HidroWeb) da Agência Nacional de Águas e Saneamento Básico (ANA). Os testes de Mann-Kendall, Spearman’s Rho e Sen’s slope foram aplicados de maneira satisfatória, permitindo a identificação de tendências significativas e magnitude da precipitação. A análise mostrou que tendências estatisticamente não significativas prevalecem na área. Contudo, foi identificada expressiva tendência negativa na região Centro-Oeste em duas estações pluviométricas que caracterizam redução em torno de 300 mm de chuva no período estudado. Períodos com extremos de seca/umidade foram reconhecidos e comparados com as fases do El Niño Oscilação Sul (ENOS), em que se identificou que 62,5% dos eventos de seca e 42,9% dos eventos chuvosos podem ser relacionados com os fenômenos El Niño/La Niña, respectivamente. Com o coeficiente de variação, foi reconhecida baixa variabilidade da precipitação na porção leste e elevada variabilidade na parte oeste da área. Os resultados obtidos podem ser utilizados como referência para a gestão de recursos hídricos na bacia hidrográfica.
Spontaneous Umbilical Endometriosis: A Case Report
Authors: Maharjan Sailuja , Satyal Bandana , Baidya Reena
Published: September 2022

Endometriosis is a common gynecological entity that usually occurs in the pelvic organs. Umbilical endometriosis is a rare condition that accounts for 0.5-1% of all extragenital endometriosis. It usually arises secondary to prior surgery but may arise de novo as well. We report a case of this condition with the spontaneous occurrence, which was diagnosed preoperatively as umbilical granuloma. Umbilical endometriosis should be kept in differential diagnoses in women with umbilical lesions.
The Use of Rhymes and Jingles to Improve Phonemic Awareness: A Foundation for Early Childhood Literacy Development in Belize
Authors: Zuniga Felicia , Moore Schontal
Published: September 2022

Phonemic awareness is considered by many educators to be the critical fundamental tenet for childhood literacy. However, the challenging aspect of teaching young children is to teach in such a way that it becomes fun-filled, memorable, and relatable for them, thus ensuring lifelong learning. The results of this study showed that nursery rhymes and jingles could improve children’s phonemic awareness in an ethnically diverse setting. This new-found information has significant implications for the way teachers teach students to read, as it is evident in this action research that teachers need to find more innovative and engaging ways of teaching early childhood learners how to read.
Exploring the Use of Productive Questions in Mathematics Classes with Preschool Students: An Action Research
Authors: Ross Nadera , George Lois
Published: September 2022

This qualitative, collaborative action research study explored preschoolers’ learning of mathematical concepts as their teacher used productive questions as a key pedagogical strategy. The teacher’s use of productive questions was also investigated. One early childhood supervisor, a preschool teacher and eight 4-year old students from her class participated in this research. Data were collected through observations of teacher and students’ question-answer interactions, and semi-structured interviews with the teacher. The findings indicated that the use of productive questions increased the number of student responses that demonstrated higher order thinking, and although challenging for the teacher, allowed students to be actively involved and responsible for their own learning. One implication of the findings is that teachers need to be supported and guided when exploring new pedagogies (such as the use of productive questioning) to ensure proper implementation and to assist in overcoming challenges that will invariably arise.

Objetivo: Conduzir uma revisão narrativa sobre os aspectos históricos do letramento em saúde. Métodos: Foram acessadas as bases de dados SciELO/BVS/PubMed, em português e em inglês, independente do ano de publicação, utilizando as palavras-chave “Letramento em saúde”, “História” e “Educação em saúde”. Identificaram-se traduções para o português do Brasil e definições e/ou conceitos do termo “health literacy”. Além das publicações encontradas, considerou-se documentos oficiais mundiais e brasileiros, dentre outras publicações. Resultados: Identificou-se 4865 publicações e 6 documentos oficiais. Os artigos selecionados apresentaram aspectos da história do letramento em saúde, e os documentos, informações relacionadas às organizações letradas em saúde. Conclusão: O letramento em saúde é um fenômeno heterogêneo, com origens diversas e ainda em evolução. Ao longo do tempo, o tema ganhou relevância devido à conscientização sobre a sua importância, não apenas para a saúde individual e coletiva, mas também para a qualidade de vida das pessoas. Apesar disso, ainda há um longo caminho para a disseminação do tema de forma geral e para a total implementação do letramento em saúde, especialmente no contexto das organizações letradas em saúde.

Authors: Hudec Juraj , Cződörová Renáta
Published: September 2022

According to figures provided by the European Commission, more than 20,000 people die each year when traveling in the European Union (Press release European Commission, 2021). In 2019, the EU average of road accidents was 51 deaths per million inhabitants, with significant differences between low and high accident rates. In the Slovak Republic, drivers with a driving experience of up to 5 years (approximately 25%) cause fatal accidents every year, while drivers who belong to this group make up only 11.6% of all drivers (Statistical overviews of the agenda of traffic accident in the Slovak Republic and complete statistics Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic, 2022). One of the causes of this condition can be sought directly in driving schools. The main goal of the paper is to analyse the system of driving schools based on selected criteria in selected thirteen EU countries (Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Croatia, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Poland, Romania, Slovenia and Sweden), which show differences in numbers. People killed in traffic accidents and compare them with the system of driving schools in the Slovak Republic. The paper also looks for a link between the number of fatal traffic accidents in a given country and the driving school system.

Authors: Gajdoš Tomáš , Tomek Petr
Published: September 2022

The article deals with a FEA results comparison of an open source FEM software CODE_ASTER with a commercial software SolidWorks Simulation and Abaqus. The problem of a statically loaded spherical cap is solved. Result evaluation is aimed at loss of stability, i.e. limit load (equilibrium curve) when loss of stability occurs and its corresponding shape of deformation. The response of the structure is described by a load-deflection curve of a top of a spherical cap in axial direction.
NETYPICKÉ PŘÍPADY KOROZNÍHO PRASKÁNÍ
Authors: Svanda Pavel
Published: September 2022

V práci jsou ukázány dva netypické případy korozního praskání železných slitin. Korozivzdorná austenitická ocel 1.4404 (ASTM 316L) byla vystavena působení spalných plynů po spalování práškového uhlí ve fluidním kotli. Koroze byla iniciována zbytkovým pnutím po tváření za studena. Ocel 1.2343 byla použita na výrobu formy pro tlakové lití hliníku. Zde byla koroze iniciována na povrchu chladicího kanálu. V chladicím okruhu byla používána upravená voda s inhibitory koroze o pH 8 až 9. V obou případech nebyla zjištěna žádná kontaminace povrchu či nehomogenita složení materiálu, která by vysvětlovala možné příčiny koroze. Navíc byl rozvoj korozních trhlin velmi rychlý. Vzhledem k tomu, že v obou případech došlo k iniciaci v místech výrazným napětím v materiálu, lze oprávněně předpokládat poškození právě mechanismem korozního praskání.
KONSOLIDÁCIA ŽELEZNIČNEJ OSOBNEJ DOPRAVY ZODPOVEDAJÚCEJ PRÍKLADOM DOBREJ PRAXE NA ÚROVNI EURÓPSKEHO ŠTANDARDU DO ROKU 2030 V SR

Železničná osobná doprava je optimálnym prepravným systémom pre obsluhu významných sústredených prepravných prúdov. Napriek množstvám výhod tohto systému, jeho dlhodobý úpadok znamenal postupnú rezignáciu na úlohu železnice ako nosného dopravného systému a jej transformáciu na podporný systém počas prepravných špičiek pre čoraz nosnejšiu autobusovú dopravu. Cieľom predkladaného príspevku je na základe objektívnych kritérií identifikovať zmysluplné (perspektívne) linky železničnej osobnej dopravy a určiť, koľko vlakov vo verejnom záujme, odkiaľ, kam a kedy má na nich premávať a aké majú byť vzájomné prestupy v uzloch. Tento plán bude vychádzať z plánu dopravnej obslužnosti a bude spracovaný na celoštátnej úrovni a mal by slúžiť ako pilotný základ objednávky výkonov vo verejnom záujme v železničnej doprave v SR. Východiskom optimálneho stavu (do roku 2030) je následná konsolidácia železničnej osobnej dopravy na všetkých perspektívnych tratiach do podoby, zodpovedajúcej príkladom dobrej praxe na úrovni európskeho štandardu. Nevyhnutným predpokladom pre realizáciu tohto optimálneho stavu je investičný rozvoj týchto železničných tratí. Príspevok je súčasťou riešenia projektu VEGA č. 1/0837/21 “Priestorové a časové aspekty politiky súdržnosti EÚ: skúsenosti a perspektívy”.
