How to Achieve Accurate Accountability Under Current Administrative Accountability System for Work Safety Accidents in Chemical Industry in China: A Case Study on Major Work Safety Accidents During 2010-2020
Authors: Tan Jinke , Li Mingjing
Published: April 2023

Positive achievements have been attained since the implementation of administrative accountability system in China. However, the effect of the said system for work safety accidents in chemical industry is unsatisfactory, and the operation way of the government's public power lacks substantial innovation. By analyzing the administrative accountability of 11 major work safety accidents in chemical industry during 2010-2020, the dilemma of public power in the administrative accountability in compartmentalized governance and vertically decentralized authoritarianism was explored from the perspective of empirical analysis in this paper. The research found that current administrative accountability system has such drawbacks as unclear subject of responsibility of public power, ambiguous ownership of responsibility, imperfect democratic structure and information asymmetry. To achieve effective operation of public power in work safety administrative accountability system, attention should be paid to promote the formation of accountability synergy and strengthen the diversification of accountability subjects, and to boost the disclosure of information, improve the transparency of the operation of public power, and reinforce the consistency between power and responsibilities. Moreover, it is necessary to establish and improve the legal system for administrative accountability for work safety accidents, clarify the division of responsibility and achieve accurate accountability, so as to enhance the rationality and operability of the administrative accountability system.

The article discusses the results of a brief retrospective review of the current microprocessors in control systems and the main directions of their development. The main requirements and selection criteria presented at the stage of the microprocessor design process in modern control systems, classification and architectural features of microprocessors are described. In addition, the «pipeline» processing method for maximizing processor performance, features of the analysis and selection of microprocessors in modern control systems using various architectural solutions for the elimination of contradictions arising in it related to conflicts are studied. According to the «pipeline» principle, three main types of processor architecture (VLIW – Very Long Instruction Word) with superscalar and multiple computing devices working in parallel are defined - depending on data, management and structural conflicts. Therefore, their use in VLIW processors and the limitation of their application in the field of scientific research is justified, due to the fact that the source codes are transmitted in a «closed» form. The main advantage of superscalar microprocessors is the independence of program-executable codes from their structure and the possibility of their execution on any processor models. In addition, the features of the EPIC architecture are described, which combines the advantages of the two different architectural solutions considered.

Purpose: Assessment of project commissioning and management transfer of Pakali and Bharaul water supply and sanitation projects were done systematically for assuring smooth operation of the system.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Sunsari district with Itahari sub metropolitan and Barahchetra municipality were chosen as the research region because it contains a mixed-race population and is close to the Indian border. Interviews, field perceptions, and surveys were utilized to gather essential information; writing (distribution reports, inspecting reports, records, and information) from both a public and global setting was utilized. The statistical tools used to analyze the adopted process of project commissioning are clustered column, line and bar chart.
Findings/Result: Pakali and Bharaul project have been compared on the basis of steps that should be followed for successful project commissioning Both of selected project were found competent in planning and pipe and instrumentation diagrams. In terms of mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up, initial operation, and performance testing, none of the chosen projects were deemed competent. Both projects are not handed over yet thus post commissioning is not done.
For a successful commissioning, it is recommended a management transfer procedure that involves calibrating and sterilizing the system, having the "water operator's standard" document in place, and training the office staff and members of the water user supply committee.
Originality/Value: The novelty of this research is commissioning analyses the nine elements of successful plant commissioning.

Messiness, Render Society Represented, Performance, Awareness: el vocabulario de Andrés Jaque
Authors: Jaque Andrés , Álvarez Isidro Eva M. , Gómez Alfonso Carlos
Published: April 2023

A través de más de dos horas de conversación online entre Nueva York y Valencia, Andrés Jaque, con toda la paciencia y la amabilidad, va desgranando palabras, conceptos y obras de arquitectura de manera que todo forma una especie de tejido, del que es difícil mover un hilo sin que se altere el conjunto. Dichos hilos, en realidad palabras, a veces en inglés, a veces adaptadas al castellano, buscan profundizar en cuestiones que aparentemente emergen y que aún es algo difícil conceptualizarlas. La conversación comenzó directamente preguntándole por el cuestionamiento actual del hormigón como material sostenible y finalizó hablando de la necesidad de que la arquitectura haga visible la sociedad, las personas que la constituyen, tal cual es y son y de todos los seres vivos y no vivos.
La estructura de entramado ligero como recurso proyectual en la obra de Frank O. Gehry (1978-1997)
Authors: Collantes Ezequiel
Published: April 2023

Este artículo analiza el papel de la estructura ligera como recurso proyectual en la obra de Frank Gehry entre 1978 y 1997. El artículo realiza un análisis histórico-crítico de su obra en este periodo, en el que se identifican tres etapas diferentes. La primera etapa (1978-1987) incluye los proyectos domésticos en los que Gehry desarrolló diversas operaciones agregativas simples basadas en el entramado ligero. La segunda etapa (1983-1992) incluye los proyectos Fish, caracterizados por la búsqueda de formas complejas a través de la manipulación del entramado ligero. La tercera y última etapa (1991-1997) corresponde al Museo Guggenheim, donde trabajó con operaciones agregativas complejas basadas en unidades de entramado ligero distorsionadas. El uso del entramado ligero como recurso proyectual en la obra de Gehry tiene dos vertientes principales: por un lado, la creación del bloque one-room-house ligado a las operaciones de anexión y apilamiento, y por otro lado, la constante subversión del entramado ligero que genera complejidades espaciales, formales y perceptivas. Ambas vías le sirvieron para evolucionar su arquitectura en el periodo estudiado. La investigación demuestra que la estructura ligera está en el origen de muchos de sus proyectos.
Los Bauhausbücher de arquitectura: artesanalidad reflexiva y reconstrucción de vínculos
Authors: Álvarez Benítez Paula V.
Published: April 2023

Este artículo discute los significados implícitos en la forma editorial de Internationale Architektur (1925), Ein Versuchshaus des Bauhauses in Weimar (1925), Holländische Architektur (1929) y Bauhausbauten Dessau (1930), las cuatro ediciones de arquitectura de la emblemática serie Bauhausbücher (1925-1930). El objetivo es contribuir a un mejor conocimiento del modo en que la Bauhaus planteó su trabajo editorial, así como aclarar su posible dimensión crítica y el alcance de su contribución a la cultura editorial. Metodológicamente, enlazaremos las aportaciones de diversas investigaciones que han considerado estos libros dentro del tránsito de la economía industrial a la cultural. Además, ampliaremos el contexto historiográfico en el que habitualmente se los sitúa (las búsquedas experimentales de las vanguardias de los 1920) para considerar otro más amplio: la evolución de las técnicas editoriales del libro de arquitectura. Ello nos permitirá identificar la sintonía entre las técnicas editoriales de estas ediciones y las del libro de arquitectura premoderno, así como su reserva para con las fórmulas industriales-editoriales decimonónicas, aún vigentes en arquitectura. El análisis nos ayudará a profundizar en las implicaciones más escondidas de esta reserva/sintonía y los problemas que entraña la codificación editorial de la arquitectura sujeta a las exigencias competitivas de la economía cultural.

En esta ocasión, se expondrán dos ejes de intervenciones que representan las claves de la conservación de la Muralla de Lugo, la liberación de lienzos y la exhumación de escaleras interiores, y cómoambas actuaciones han influido, de forma decisiva, en la restitución formal y la estabilización estructural del conjunto amurallado revelándose como la manera más eficaz de dignificarlo.
Pocket Dictionary of Popes
Authors: Walsh Michael
Published: April 2023

The range of people interested in the Popes and the Papacy is very great indeed. As soon as Pope Benedict XVI was elected, enquirers wanted to know about the previous Popes called Benedict. For those who travel abroad to look at works of art a book of this kind is an essential work for quick reference. Who were the Borgia Popes? So many Popes appear in great works of art (right up till Francis Bacon) but we know so little about them.

Who was the Pope who refused Henry VIII a divorce? Who was the Pope who declared Anglican orders null and void? Who was the Pope who tried to bring about world peace on the eve of the First World War? Who was the only English Pope? Is Benedict XVI the first German Pope?

All these questions are answered in this compact book, which is packed with useful information.

The Popes are listed aphetically according to the Papal names (Pius, John Paul, Alexander) but indexes also list the Popes by their family names (Borgia, Woytilja, Ratzinger).

There is also a chronology so the Popes can be followed in historical order.

Michael Walsh has written a short scholarly introduction in which he describes the role of the Papacy throughout history.

Predictors of opioid prescription among outpatients with osteoarthritis in the United States
Authors: Gohil, BPharm Shrey , Deyhim, PharmD, MS, BCPS Niaz , Mgbere, PhD, MS, MPH Osaro , Essien, MD, DrPH, FRSPH Ekere James
Published: April 2023

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) management targets pain reduction through multimodal strategies to improve functional status. Among pharmaceutical options, opioids have been selected as a treatment option for pain management, without endorsement by evidence-based guidelines.

Objective: To examine the predictors of opioid prescriptions for OA during outpatient visits in the United States (US).

Design: This study was based on the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) database (2012-2016), with a retrospective, cross-sectional study design of US adult outpatient visits with OA. The primary outcome was opioid prescription, and socio-demographic and clinical characteristics were independent variables. Weighted descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were utilized to study patient characteristics and to assess the predictors of opioid prescription.

Results: Approximately, 51.68 million (95 percent CI = 44.41-58.95 million) OA-related outpatient visits were made between 2012 and 2016. Most patients were established patients (82.32 percent), and 20.58 percent of the visits resulted in opioid prescriptions. Key prescriptions within the opioid analgesic and combination categories were tramadol-based (5.16 percent) and hydrocodone-based (9.10 percent). Patients who paid through Medicaid were three times more likely (aOR = 3.25, 95 percent CI = 1.60-6.61, p = 0.0012) than those who paid through private insurance to receive an opioid prescription, new patients were 59 percent less likely (aOR = 0.41, 95 percent CI = 0.24-0.68, p = 0.0007) to receive an opioid prescription as compared to established patients, and obese patients were twice as likely (aOR = 1.88, 95 percent CI = 1.11-3.20, p = 0.0199) than nonobese patients to receive an opioid prescription.

Conclusions: Payment source, obesity, and patient visit status were associated with the receipt of an opioid prescription among OA outpatients. Further research is needed to establish intrinsic factors that drive opioid prescription in this population.

Published: April 2023

Objective: Opioid-related adverse drug events continue to occur. This study aimed to characterize the patient population receiving naloxone to inform future intervention efforts.

Design: We describe a case series of patients who received naloxone in the hospital during a 16-week time frame in 2016. Data were collected on other administered medications, reason for admission to the hospital, pre-existing diagnoses, comorbidities, and demographics.

Setting: Twelve hospitals within a large healthcare system.

Patients: 46,952 patients were admitted during the study period. 31.01 percent (n = 14,558) of patients received opioids, of which 158 received naloxone.

Intervention: Administration of naloxone.

Main outcome of interest: Sedation assessment via Pasero Opioid-Induced Sedation Scale (POSS), administration of sedating medications.

Results: POSS score was documented prior to opioid administration in 93 (58.9 percent) patients. Less than half of patients had a POSS documented prior to naloxone administration with 36.8 percent documented 4 hours prior. 58.2 percent of patients received multimodal pain therapy with other nonopioid medications. Most patients received more than one sedating medication concurrently (n = 142, 89.9 percent).

Conclusions: Our findings highlight areas for intervention to prevent opioid oversedation. Investing in electronic clinical decision support mechanisms, such as sedation assessment, could detect patients at risk for oversedation and ultimately prevent the need for naloxone. Coordinated order sets for pain management can reduce the percentage of patients receiving multiple sedating medications and promote the use of multimodal pain management in efforts to reduce opioid reliance while optimizing pain control.
Bone marrow lesions of the femoral head: can radiomics distinguish whether it is reversible?
Authors: Batur Halitcan , Rasit Mendi Bokebatur Ahmet , Cay Nurdan
Published: April 2023

Introduction

Contrary to the self-limiting nature of reversible bone marrow lesions, irreversible bone marrow lesions require early surgical intervention to prevent further morbidity. Thus, early discrimination of irreversible pathology is necessitated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of radiomics and machine learning regarding this topic.

Material and methods

A database was scanned for patients who had undergone MRI of the hip for differential diagnosis of bone marrow lesions and had had follow-up images acquired within 8 weeks after the first imaging. Images that showed resolution of oedema were included in the reversible group. The remainders that showed progression into characteristic signs of osteonecrosis were included in the irreversible group. Radiomics was performed on the first MR images, calculating first- and second-order parameters. Support vector machine and random forest classifiers were performed using these parameters.

Results

Thirty-seven patients (seventeen osteonecrosis) were included. A total of 185 ROIs were segmented. Forty-seven parameters were accepted as classifiers with an area under the curve value ranging from 0.586 to 0.718. Support vector machine yielded a sensitivity of 91.3% and a specificity of 85.1%. Random forest classifier yielded a sensitivity of 84.8% and a specificity of 76.7%. Area under curves were 0.921 for support vector machine and 0.892 for random forest classifier.

Conclusions

Radiomics analysis could prove useful for discrimination of reversible and irreversible bone marrow lesions before the irreversible changes occur, which could prevent morbidities of osteonecrosis by guiding the decision-making process for management.
Rebuilding Cities and Citizens
Authors: Haderer Margaret
Published: April 2023

In Vienna after WWI and Berlin after WWII, the provision of mass housing not only was a response to a dire social need but also served as a key lever for building variants of socialism and liberalism. Zooming into the interplay between political ideologies and the production of space, this book shows that ideologies, understood as political beliefs that underpin everyday life, are never simply ‘written’ into space but that their meaning is made and re-made, negotiated and contested, and sometimes cunningly subverted in and through space. How people live was – and continues to be – a profoundly political question that involves negotiations of, and decisions on, norms and ideals of citizenship, freedom, equality, property, democracy, gender, and family life – negotiations and decisions that come with legacies that shape the present.
Introduction: The Making and
Remaking of Ideologies through Space
Authors: Haderer Margaret
Published: April 2023

In the twentieth century, the housing question served as a prominent
battleground on which more was decided than simply the provision of
shelter. It implied fundamental negotiations of how to ‘rebuild’ cities,
citizens, and societies. This was the case in Vienna after WWI no less
than in Berlin after WWII, where newly empowered political elites sought
to anchor their respective visions of society in and through residential
and urban space. This chapter makes the case for studying ideologies
through space. This undertaking implies leaving behind the ‘great books
of great thinkers’ approach, which is prominent in political theory, and
delving into the ‘trialectical’ production of space: an interplay between
grand visions of society and its spaces, existing spatial practices, and
appropriations by inhabitants.

SOLUTION OR PROBLEM: A SOCIAL WORK VIEW OF UK FORCED MIGRATION LAW AND POLICY
Authors:   University of Plymouth, UK, Bellinger Avril , Ford Deirdre
Published: April 2023

The UK receives a tiny proportion of the world’s forced migrants and even in Europe is 19th out of 28 countries for numbers received. Nonetheless, immigration is used as a major political issue with public opinion weaponised to achieve the disastrous exit from the European Union. The media narrative encourages the population to believe that there is an ‘invasion’ of people making the highly dangerous journey across the English Channel in small boats and that they are not ’real’ refugees. A plethora of law and policy responses means that individuals are treated differently depending on where they came from, when and how they came. This paper will give a synopsis of the changes to law and policy that proscribe the ‘legal’ and ‘illegal’ routes to the UK for forced migrants. We will consider the outcomes of the financial investment in exclusion (border force, removal centres, planes to Rwanda, British police in France) in the context of a global economic and environmental emergency. Their intended and unintended consequences will be reviewed (destitution and homelessness, Windrush, loss of workforce, social insecurity). Drawing on the five proposals of the People’s Charter for an Eco-Social World presented to the United Nations we propose an alternative approach to migration which values the human agency and capacity of individuals. We give examples from UK and elsewhere to illustrate the success of inclusion over exclusion and offer a reflection on the ability of social work to work within and with contexts. Keywords: Forced migration, strengths approach, social work, eco-social, human rights
MIGRATION AND PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW
Authors:   University of Potsdam, Klein Eckart

Starting from the perception that international migration is a process that leads from the State of origin through transit countries and perhaps even the high sea up to the entry to the State of destination this paper discusses the impact of public international law on the various stages of migration. Relevant are in this respect the rules of customary and treaty law, but also the provisions of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration of 2018 which try to create a comprehensive frame-work for the multidimensional phenomenon of international migration. These provisions do not have the legal status of hard, i.e. legally binding law, but still intent to govern the said process of migration. On the first stage the right to leave the country of origin is decisive. On the second stage the rules established for the protection of the migrants’ safety are addressed and exemplified by the existing rules for the rescue of lives in danger on the sea. At the third stage the rules for entering the country of destination become crucial. Actually here the territorial sovereignty of the State is decisive, but sovereignty is not absolute but bound by relevant customary international law as the prohibition of non-refoulement or by treaty obligations entered by the State itself. In this context the EU asylum law and the policy of pushbacks is dealt with. Issues of integration and acquisition of nationality are likewise tackled. Finally the basic view of the Global Compact at migration as a necessity and cornerstone of sustainable development leading to overemphasizing the benefits of migration vis-à-vis the difficulties of many States, especially with irregular migration, is critically assessed. Keywords: Global Compact for Migration – State sovereignty – right to leave and enter a country – smuggling of migrants – non-refoulement – pushbacks

Abstract. Timely, continuous, and dynamics-based estimates of PM2.5 emissions with a high temporal resolution can be objectively and optimally obtained by assimilating observed surface PM2.5 concentrations using flow-dependent error statistics. Annual PM2.5 emissions in China have consistently decreased of approximately 3 % to 5 % from 2017 to 2020. Significant PM2.5 emission reductions occurred frequently in regions with large PM2.5 emissions. COVID-19 could cause a significant reduction of PM2.5 emissions in the north China plain and northeast of China in 2020. The magnitudes of PM2.5 emissions were greater in the winter than in the summer. PM2.5 emissions show an obvious diurnal variation that varies significantly with the season and urban population. Improved representations of PM2.5 emissions across time scales can benefit emission inventory, regulation policy and emission trading schemes, particularly for especially for high temporal resolution air quality forecasting and policy response to severe haze pollutions or rare human events with significant socioeconomic impacts.

Abstract. Cosmogenic-nuclide concentrations in subglacial bedrock cores show that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) at a site between Thwaites and Pope glaciers was at least 35 m thinner than present in the past several thousand years and then subsequently thickened. This is important because of concern that present thinning and grounding line retreat at these and nearby glaciers in the Amundsen Sea Embayment may irreversibly lead to deglaciation of significant portions of the WAIS, with decimeter- to meter-scale sea level rise within decades to centuries. A past episode of ice sheet thinning that took place in a similar, although not identical, climate was not irreversible. We propose that the past thinning–thickening cycle was due to a glacioisostatic rebound feedback, similar to that invoked as a possible stabilizing mechanism for current grounding line retreat, in which isostatic uplift caused by Early Holocene thinning led to relative sea level fall favoring grounding line advance.

Authors: Curto-López Saúl , Uharte Pozas Luis Miguel
Published: April 2023

En esta época de crisis del modelo de democracia liberal las dinámicas comunitarias están visibilizándose como alternativas estimulantes para pensar en nuevos modelos de democracia. Este artículo aborda la experiencia del barrio ocupado de Errekaleor en la ciudad de Vitoria-Gasteiz (País Vasco) desde la perspectiva que nos ofrece el paradigma emergente de la democracia comunal. Se analizan algunas de las variables fundamentales que configuran dicha propuesta democrática, concretamente las siguientes: las tramas comunitarias, la producción de lo común, el poder popular, la diversidad del sujeto, el apoyo mutuo, el autogobierno, la autogestión y la territorialización. En términos metodológicos, las técnicas para desarrollar la investigación han sido entrevistas, grupos de discusión, observación etnográfica y análisis documental. Los resultados evidencian que la experiencia de Errekaleor destaca por sus fortalezas en clave de autogobierno y apoyo mutuo y, a su vez, tiene como gran reto mejorar su autosuficiencia económica.

At NARDI Fundulea, sunflower breeding program is focused for developing sunflower hybrids with high seed oil content, with resistance at main pathogens such as Plasmoparahalstedii, Sclerotiniasclerotiorum, Phomopsishelianthi and with resistance at sulfonylurea herbicides (SU) and to imidazolinone (CL Plus) herbicides.

Temperature and precipitation influence seed oil content of sunflower genotypes in booth years 2020 and 2021, in Fundulea location. The amount of precipitation during the sunflower vegetation period from April to September, in both years 2020 (248.6 mm) and 2021 (273.2 mm), was lower than the 60-year average amount (351.8mm).

Average seed oil content, in year 2020, was included in the values of 48.63% at sunflower experimental hybrid H54CLP in Clearfield Plus system and 51.79% at sunflower experimental hybrid H87SU in Express Sun system and in year 2021, was included in the values of 41.69% at H54CLP and 50.56% at H87SU. Agricultural year (2020, 2021), sunflower hybrid and their interaction, influence significant positive the oil content of seed.

In year 2020 in Fundulea location, pathogen Plasmoparahalstedii has an attack degree between 3% at H76SU, H50CLP and 17% at H54CLP and in year 2021, between 6% at H76SU, H50CLP and 23% at H54CLP.

Published: April 2023

PMTV (Potato Mop-Top Virus ) and PAMV (Potato Aucuba Mosaic Virus) are new damaging pathogens of potato crop in Romania. They can cause serious reduced yield and decrease of the tuber’s quality. In case of these viruses, infected plants do not allways show signs of disease and the symptoms depend on potato cultivar, virus strain and the environment. PMTV and PAMV infection of material plants can produce spraing in tubers of sensitive varieties. PMTV causes heavy losses in northen Europe and it is very difficult to control. PAMV is a helping virus for the development of dangerous potyvirus like Potato Virus Y (PVY). Elimination of all these pathogens from the potato supply chain is essential for potato production and choosing resistant varieties to the infection with these viruses could be one of the measures recommended for farmers and producers. The results of this preliminary study shows that PMTV and PAMV were not found in the material collected from the following varieties: Armonia, Azaria, Christian and Millenium (samples collected from the counties Braşov, Covasna, Harghita, Suceava in 2019, 2020 and 2021).

The researches carried out followed the behavior of some cultivares of vines with red grapes in the ampelographic collection, over a period of three years (2020-2022). During the three years of study, the grape cultivares for red wines budded between April 13-20, the 'Mamaia' cultivar budded the earliest, and the 'Pandur' cultivar at the latest. Shoot fertility recorded different values ​​depending on the cultivar and climatic conditions. From the point of view of the average production of grapes, in the analyzed period, the cultivares'Novac' stood out 20479 kg/ha, being registered from a statistical point of view as very significantly positive, 'Codană'18089 kg/ha and 'Haiduc' 17662 kg/ha, from a statistical point of view, they registered distinctly significant positive meanings.

The values ​​of the content in total sugars, at harvest maturity, fluctuated from one cultivar to another but also from one year to another. From this point of view, the 'Codană'cultivar  was in first place, with an average amount of total sugars of 207 g/l. The 'Arcaș' cultivar achieved an average total sugar content, with the lowest value (180 g/l). In the period 2020-2022, the grape cultivaresanalyzed behaved differently depending on the climatic conditions of the crop year.
