Authors: Sheila Nurma , Aman Adi Koesoema , Hanafie Achsanuddin
Published: April 2021

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the failure of the host's response against infection. Organdysfunction in sepsis can be represented by an acute change in the SOFA score > 2 points as a consequence of infection.Proinflammatory cytokines in sepsis activate the coagulation cascade and cause a decrease in protein C and antithrombin III.This study aimed to determine protein C and antithrombin III levels in sepsis patients and their relationship with SOFA score.This study was an analytical study with a prospective cohort design. The subjects of this study were sepsis patients at AdamMalik General Hospital, Medan. Protein C, antithrombin III, and SOFA score were tested twice (first day and third day), andthe relationship between protein C and antithrombin III with SOFA score was analyzed. From 33 samples, it was found thatprotein C and antithrombin III levels were lower in sepsis patients. There was a significant negative correlation betweenprotein C and SOFA score on the first day (r= -0.502, p= 0.003), but no significant correlation was found on the third day.There was a significant negative correlation between antithrombin III and SOFA score on the first day (r= -0.513, p=0.002),but no significant correlation was found on the third day. It was concluded that there was a significant relationship betweenprotein C and antithrombin III with SOFA score on the first day of sepsis patients.

ABSTRAK

Safety culture merupakan budaya organisasi yang mengutamakan pada nilai–nilai dan sikap keselamatan. Walaupun instansi telah menghimbau tenaga kerja untuk mengutamakan keselamatan, namun tenaga kerja belum memahami bahwa perilaku K3 bagi tenaga kerja merupakan hal penting untuk menghindari PAK maupun KAK. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan safety culture dan faktor individu dengan perilaku K3 di Pusat Teknologi dan Keselamatan Reaktor Nuklir (PTKRN) BATAN. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif analitik dengan rancangan cross-sectional study. Responden pada penelitian ini berjumlah 51 orang dengan teknik pengambilan sampel purposive sampling. Hasil menunjukan proporsi responden berperilaku K3 baik sebesar 49,02%. Tingkat pendidikan yang lebih tinggi mempunyai proporsi perilaku K3 lebih tinggi secara bermakna (p=0,023), sedangkan pada variabel umur, jenis kelamin, masa kerja dan safety culture tidak berhubungan secara bermakna dengan perilaku K3 (p>0,05). Oleh karena itu perlu dicermati faktor penyebab lebih luas yang mempengaruhi perilaku K3. Selain itu pihak manajemen hendaknya melakukan upaya untuk meningkatkan perilaku K3.

Published: April 2021

This article discusses the meaning of Renteng Dance in the Saren Village of Nusa Penida. In Bali, there are many ceremonial dances, but recently many people have created ceremonial dances inspired by the Renteng Dance. This study focuses on the forms and meanings of the Renteng Dance shown in Saren Village. Data collected through observation, documentation study, and interviews with informants were analyzed descriptively using aesthetic theory and reception. It can be concluded that the people of Saren Village performed the Renteng Dance in the form of tari lepas which is a dance performance without stories. This can be seen from the presentation, choreography, and the music accompanying the performance. Renteng dance is accompanied by Balinese gamelan Balaganjur music with a specific movement dance performance structure. Saren community members support this dance because it has meaning as an expression of faith, social concern, and the interest in ecological preservation.

Villages suburb area around the border with the city of Denpasar is one of the area that’s also effected by the economic growth in Denpasar city. The area was settled by people due to sub-urban residential land in Denpasar increasingly difficult to reach and limited, especially   those located in the center of Denpasar City. It makes people prefer living in the satellite city of Denpasar. The area included in the district of Gianyar, Badung, and Tabanan regency. This study aims to determine the preference that are considered sub-urban communities to choose satellite settlements in Denpasar. This study uses the positivist approach with merging between qualitative and quantitative case study. The research result obtained five factors are considered sub-urban communities to choose satellite settlements in Denpasar, among others: accessibility, availability of shopping facilities, environmental conditions, availability of electricity, and the pierce of land/house. Thus, accessibility becomes a major factors in the selection of the sub-urban residential location in the satellite city of Denpasar.

HYDRODYNAMIC ANALYSES OF THE FLOW PATTERNS IN STIRRED VESSEL OF TWO-BLADED IMPELLER
Authors: Laidoudi Houssem
Published: April 2021

In this paper, the governing equations of continuity and momentum subjected to suitable boundary conditions have been solved numerically to investigate the fluid flow in stirred vessel of two-bladed impeller. The numerical simulations have been carried out in three-dimensions for laminar flow. The studied fluid was considered Newtonian and incompressible. Our research studied the effects of geometrical configurations of the two-bladed impeller and its rotational speed on fluid patterns and mechanical power consumption. The innovative point in this paper is that the blades of the impeller contain three equal-sized holes of circular cross-section. The diameter of the hole (d) to the impeller diameter (D) gives the ratio d/D. the impeller speed is controlled by the Reynolds number (Re). The obtained results have been illustrated and discussed for the range of following governing parameters: d/D = 0 to 0.4 and Re = 1 to 300. The results showed that the studied parameters have significant effects on fluid flow and consumption power and the perforated blades of ratio d/D = 0.133 is more efficient than plan blades. Also, a new correlation is proposed to describe the consumption power as function of d/D and Re.
Une analyse du film Aurore
Authors: Figov Danielle , Polan-Couillard Lauren
Published: April 2021

Le film « Aurore », réalisé en 2005 par Luc Dionne, raconte l’histoire vraie d’Aurore Gagnon qui vivait dans les années 1910 à Sainte-Philomène de Fortierville. Celle-ci vivait avec une mère magnifique ainsi qu’un père et une soeur affectueux. Malheureusement, tout a changé quand sa mère se est tombée malade de la tuberculose pendant qu’elle était enceinte d’un troisième enfant. Pendant que sa mère était à l’hôpital, son père est tombé amoureux avec sa cousine par alliance, Marie-Anne Houde. Marie-Anne et Télesphore se sont mariés peu de temps après les funérailles. La belle-mère d’Aurore commence ensuite à la terroriser, sous prétexte qu’elle était une enfant de la « luxure et du péché ». Tous les villageois étaient au courant des sévices infligés à Aurore, mais à l’époque, les gens pensaient que c’était déplacé de se mêler des affaires des autres. Le curé Leduc était également dépourvu face à la situation de la pauvre fille qui empirait. Aurore se mourait à l'intérieur. À la fin du film, quand le juge de paix a essayé de mettre fin à cette tragédie, il était déjà trop tard. Télesphore et Marie-Anne ont tous les deux été condamnés pour les crimes commis.Cette communication explorera le rôle de la religion dans ce film. Elle révélera également le rôle de la musique et de la lumière dans le film, utilisées pour susciter l’émotion. On discutera des saisons qui changent tout au long du film et de la manière dont ceci accentue les changements et la progression de l’intrigue, ainsi que le développement des personnages. Il s’agira donc de présenter la manière dont la musique, la religion, la mise en scène et le temps nous démontre la cruauté de la maltraitance des enfants par rapport aux autres thèmes présents dans le film.
Making the Case for Teaching Social Emotional Learning through Children’s Literature
Authors: Lamba Mahima
Published: April 2021

In this presentation I propose children’s literature as an effective tool to teach social emotional learning in the classroom. Social emotional learning has increasingly become a focus in many Canadian schools. Social emotional learning has been defined in many ways but is usually accepted to be a combination of developing children’s abilities to self-regulate their feelings, understand and display empathy and make responsible choices. These are skills that can benefit children in a variety of ways that includes increasing self-esteem, reducing conflicts with peers or family members and developing resiliency. Although social emotional skills like empathy are essential for the adequate moral development of children, there is little communication as to the ways qualities like empathy can become teachable skills. This poses a challenge to classroom teachers who are not receiving training or professional development from Social Emotional Learning organizations or research bodies but wish to incorporate elements of the theory into their existing practice and routines. Although some organizations offer scripted lessons and programming to be used in the classroom, programs alone may not be enough. Locally developed resources created for peer-to-peer sharing amongst teachers allow for greater integration and have the added benefit of being customized for each teacher’s unique learning community. This presentation will focus on the integration of social emotional learning at the classroom level using a children’s literature approach. I share some of the resources I have created for this purpose.
Openness to Sexuality as a Predictor of Gender Non-Specificity of Visual Sexual Interest in Heterosexual Women
Authors: Persall Nicole
Published: April 2021

Past research has indicated that there is a gender difference in regards to sexual arousal; such that heterosexual men typically show a pattern of gender-specificity, whereas women show a pattern of gender non-specificity. Although this is a robust finding, there is little research examining the predictors of this finding. The current study uses eye-tracking data (i.e., gaze time to male and female images) to examine the effect of openness to sexuality on visual sexual interest. Openness to sexuality is assessed using three factors: sexual attitudes, sexual desire, and sexual arousability. I predict that greater openness to sexuality (i.e., more positive sexual attitudes, greater sexual desire, and greater sexual arousability) is correlated with greater gender non-specificity of visual sexual interest.
Globalization Across the Disciplines: A Comparison of the Teaching of Globalization in Commerce and Global Development Studies at Queen’s University
Authors: Langill Jennifer
Published: April 2021

It is often said that we are living in the "age of globalization." This research questions what is meant by this statement. The inquiry is divided into two areas of research. The first part is a review of the academic literature on globalization. Globalization was found to be a term used across a wide variety of disciplines. However, there is no consensus between the disciplines on what exactly the term encompasses. This led to the second area of research: Investigation of the teaching of globalization at Queen's University. For the scope of the research, undergraduate Commerce and Global Development Studies students were chosen. Students from either discipline filled out a survey on globalization and how it is taught at Queen'sUniversity. The results strongly indicated that the students in Commerce and Global Development Studies had very difference conceptions of globalization and were taught about it very differently. The larger implications for what the research findings suggest are discussed University and beyond, while also acknowledging the limitations of the scale of the research. The inquiry concludes with suggestions for moving forward, including further research and alterations to the teaching of globalization at Queen's.
12. Black Bear Conservation efforts in Ontario
Authors: Cummings Elizabeth , Neville Erin , Slater Allison , Zargarpour Nicci
Published: April 2021

Over the past 200 years, large carnivore range has been decreased due to an increase in human density and influence through agriculture and industrialization. The black bear (Ursusa americanus) is a severely impacted species which has experienced nearly a 50% range loss and has been extirpated from parts of North America. Much public controversy surrounds this species, due to issues associated with hunting, human-bear interactions, and species management strategies. Increasing public awareness of black bear ecology, a charismatic megafauna, will spark positive and pro-conservation efforts across North America. Therefore, area and knowledge-specific education is important in engaging affected communities in black bear ecology and the importance of conservation. The Ministry of Natural Resources has made an effort in these areas by establishing the Bear Wise Program, however there is room within this program for expansion and development of their initiatives. Such expansions include improvement of public education, community outreach and youth awareness of black bears in a holistic ecosystem, versus case specific, approach. Identification of high-impact areas in Ontario would support the allocation of provincial resources to address these issues by implementing changes in local infrastructure, educational development and region-specific management. This project builds off of already established black bear management to increase region and province-wide conservation. The knowledge provided through this project will allow for future efforts across a wide geographical area.
13. Conservation Education in the Kingston Classroom

Published: April 2021

In order to sustain and improve global and local conservation efforts, each incoming generation must become informed and active within the conservation field. If education surrounding conservation can be improved and preserved, the importance of maintaining an intact natural world will be better understood and passed on. We hope to address this issue through examination of the current state of subject material surrounding conservation biology in the Limestone District School Board (LDSB) in Kingston, Ontario. Material in eachgrade will be analyzed and a report on the current state of environmental and conservation education will be prepared. We also hope to gather expert opinions on the questions relating to: what grade level conservation education will make the largest impact on and the current pressing issues in conservation biology. These expert opinions will be gathered from both researchers and educators here at Queens as well as teachers and administration in the school board. We hope to compile all information gathered, to then prepare five lessons for a conservation biology science unit. We hope to work in a classroom to teach one of these prepared unit lessons and get feedback on the lesson from both teachers and students.From all the information gathered we hope to provide a plan for improvement on the overall conservation curriculum in addition to designing a specific unit of conservation biology for elementary school students. The report will also examine the process of implementing curriculum into a school system, providing a tool for other conservation biologists who are inclined to improve the education system.
Mechanizm wyłaniania kandydatów na przewodniczącego Komisji Europejskiej przez partie polityczne na poziomie europejskim: geneza, założenia, konsekwencje polityczne i instytucjonalne
Authors: Gagatek Wojciech

“This time it’s different” was the official motto of the European Parliament’s informationcampaign before the 2014 elections. The reason why it was to be different related to thestrengthening of the EP’s powers introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon and to a modificationof the selection mechanism of candidates for the European Commission Presidency. Thenomination was to be directly dependent on the result of the EP elections, whereby the newPresident would come from the largest political group in the newly elected House. As it cameout, not only was this mechanism fully implemented, but it went even further. The EP, itspolitical groups and the Europarties put the leaders of EU Member States up against the wall.Keywords: elections, political parties, procedure on nomination, European Parliament,European Commission

Authors: Węglarz Barbara
Published: April 2021

National Firefighting and Rescue System (NFRS) has been created to protect population, property and environment within the territory of the Republic of Poland by the following activities: extinguishing fires, fighting against the local threats, chemical and ecological rescue operations, technical rescue operations and first medical aid. NFRS, as an integral part of the internal security system of the country, is financed by the Government. The Chief Commandant of the State Fire Service is the central body of the state administration responsible for organization and managing the NFRS. The system operates on three administrative levels corresponding with the administrative structure of the country: district (main executive level, where interventions are carried out by the district’s resources), regional (coordination and assistance to the rescue operations when resources in the district are insufficient) and national (rescue operations assistance and coordination when resources in the region are insufficient). The main purpose of this article is to present : tasks performed by the NFRS (National Firefighting and Rescue System), functioning of the system at three levels (district, regional and national), cooperation of the NFRS with subjects like Police, Border Guard, units of Voluntary Fire Brigade and many others.
Państwo i samorząd terytorialny z perspektywy procesów decentralizacji i recentralistycznych tendencji
Authors: Kozioł Ryszard
Published: April 2021

System transformation processes in Poland have accelerated the modernization and evolution of the public administration model. As a result of the intensification of decentralization processes, the state lost its hegemonic position. In the public sector, a significant part of the powers were taken over by local government units, and institutions of the second and third sector have become an important partner in the implementation of tasks and the provision of public services. The activity of local governments to date, which is positively assessed by the public opinion, proves the great development potential of local and regional authorities. However, the experience of recent years shows that this potential has not always been properly assessed and utilized. Underestimation of the role of local governments is demonstrated by the actions of the rulers, and the failure to recognize the challenges ahead of him political programs of the opposition.
Sentyment antyamerykański w stosunkach międzynarodowych
Authors: Adamska-Płocic Karolina
Published: April 2021

The objective of the article is to analyze the anti-American sentiment in international relations. A chronological systematization of particular stages of the development of anti-Americanism aims to illustrate its evolution and the constantly changing perception of the United States by representatives of different cultural circles. It is worth emphasizing that while European anti-Americanism is based mainly on the philosophical foundations, the Islamic anti-Americanism has its roots mainly in the negative assessment of US foreign policy towards the Middle East region. The first strong wave of anti-Americanism flooded the Middle East in 1967 when the US supported Jews during the six-day war. Each subsequent conflict in the Arab world with US involvement only deepens the antagonisms that have persisted since then. Followers of Islam also have objections towards the culture of the United States, which is to be shallow and expansive. It is worth emphasizing, however, that the anti-American sentiment grew and evolved simultaneously with the state that was being formed, which is why it is not possible to recall only one specific reason that causes the country to have as many opponents. While nineteenth century polemics consisted of almost purely theoretical considerations about the superiority of the Old World over the New World, the reality of twenty-first century terror based on hatred for the US, requires serious actions from American diplomacy.

Factors Affecting the Decision to Choose the Farmland Model in Le Tri Commune, Tri Ton District, An Giang Province, Vietnam
Authors: Le Y Thi , Tran Hieu Van
Published: April 2021

The study evaluated factors affecting the selection of agricultural farming models and advantages, difficulties, and opportunities in the implementation process to propose solutions to develop appropriate agricultural sustainable farming models. The study uses secondary and primary data through KIP interviews, focus group interviews, in-depth interviews, and farmer interviews. As a result, this study found education is an important factor affecting farmers in choosing their farming models and increasing agricultural production in their farmland. For most of the considered factors, the majority of Kinh people choose to evaluate the influence of the decision in choosing a farming model higher than another ethnic group (Khmer). Besides, the Khmer ethnic group accounts for a higher proportion of poor households (18.2%) than the Kinh group. Because of low economic conditions, decisions on agricultural production of Khmer ethnic groups are less assertive than that of the Kinh people. On the other hand, there is a serious shortage of water in the dry season in the highlands, cultivated mainly by rainwater, ethnic minority accounts for 53.36% of the whole commune population, educational level makes it difficult to apply modern techniques in production. Therefore, strengthening and mobilizing people, investing in building upland irrigation systems, and using effective land conversion are essential activities to be carried out to improve the efficiency of farming models to make sustainable agricultural production that can increase income and enhance the economic life of local people.
Metamorphic evolution for the Inyoni shear zone: Investigating the geodynamic evolution of a 3.20 Ga terrane boundary in the Barberton granitoid greenstone terrane, South Africa
Authors: Cutts K.A. , Maneiro K.A. , Stevens G. , Baxter E.F.
Published: April 2021

The Inyoni shear zone represents an important tectonic boundary between (i) the ca. 3.45 Ga high-pressure amphibolite facies, granite-greenstone domain south of the Barberton greenstone belt, termed the Stolzburg terrane, and (ii) the ca. 3.29 to 3.23 Ga rocks of the trondhjemitic Badplaas pluton to the west. The Stolzburg terrane is separated from the greenschist facies rocks of the rest of the Barberton greenstone belt by the Komati fault, which records >10 km uplift of the Stolzburg terrane relative to the lower-grade rocks of the greenstone belt at ca. 3.23 Ga. A number of studies within the Stolzburg terrane have documented high-pressure amphibolite facies metamorphism that occurred concurrently with exhumation, with the lowest apparent geothermal gradients documented in the Inyoni shear zone, where strong constraints on the age of metamorphism are most limited. In addition, different studies on Inyoni metamorphism have produced significantly different temperature estimates.

This study utilizes garnet Sm-Nd geochronology in combination with P-T modelling to directly date the metamorphism and re-evaluate the P-T conditions of the Inyoni shear zone. Two petrologically distinct samples produce similar P-T evolutions. A heterogeneous sample with both garnet-bearing and garnet-absent domains gives up-P evolutions reaching conditions of 550 to 675°C and 7 to 10 kbar, whereas a homogenous sample containing garnet and clinopyroxene produces a similar dominantly up-P evolution reaching peak conditions of 650°C and 8 to 10 kbar. Sm-Nd garnet ages of 3 201.6 ± 4.7 Ma (MSWD = 1.02) and 3 200.3 ± 5.3 Ma (MSWD = 0.44) were obtained from two samples of the homogenous garnet and clinopyroxene-bearing amphibolite. The Sm-Nd garnet geochronology provides accurate ages for the metamorphism of the Inyoni shear zone, with age results suggesting activity on the Inyoni shear zone may have continued after the regional metamorphism at ca. 3.23 Ga previously established by zircon U-Pb geochronology. However, 147Sm decay constant uncertainty leaves open the possibility that Inyoni garnet growth could have coincided with the previously recognized 3.23 Ga regional metamorphism.
Syndepositional hydrothermalism selectively preserves records of one of the earliest benthic ecosystems, Moodies Group (3.22 Ga), Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa

Published: April 2021

The ~3.22 Ga Moodies Group, Barberton Greenstone Belt (BGB), South Africa, provides a unique window into Archaean sedimentary, magmatic and ecological processes. In the central BGB, a regional mafic complex, consisting of a genetically related major mafic sill, a peperitic dyke stockwork, and extensive basaltic lava flows affected thick quartzose sandstones of the Moodies Group. We argue that epithermal hydrothermalism associated with this magmatic event occurred, at least in part, syndepositionally and in places destroyed, in other places preserved the abundant benthic microbial mats in terrestrial- and coastal-facies sandstone of this unit. We differentiate four principal types of hydrothermal alteration: (1) Sericitization resulted from ubiquitous feldspar breakdown; (2) iron-oxide alteration replaced the original matrix by fine-grained iron oxide; (3) silicification replaced matrix and most non-silica grains by microcrystalline silica and locally preserved kerogenous microbial mats; and (4) hydraulic fracturing at shallow depth brecciated consolidated Moodies Group sandstone and created closely spaced, randomly oriented fractures and quartz-filled veins. Because stockwork intrusion locally interacted with unconsolidated water-saturated sediment and because the dykes connect the sill with the mafic lava but also follow zones of structural weakness, we suggest that hydrothermalism associated with this magmatic event occurred syndepositionally but was also – within the resolution of radiometric age data – contemporaneous with tight regional folding. We conclude that microbial organisms in Paleoarchaean coastal (tidal, estuarine) environments may have been formerly widespread, possibly even abundant, but are nearly nowhere preserved because they were easily degradable. Preservation of Early Archaean microbial mats in a thermal aureole in the central BGB was controlled by the “just right” degree of heating and very early hydrothermal silicification.

The research logic makes it possible to identify the participation of banks in the process of lending to the real sector of the economy, to determine the priority areas of lending to economic entities. By analyzing and summarizing statistical data from Rosstat and the Bank of Russia, the author determined the share of investments in fixed assets in the context of financing. The study revealed the limited long-term resources and high credit risks of banks, which limit investment in the real sector of the economy. The author determined the assessment of the structure of attracted resources of banks, identified the amount of resources allocated to loans to enterprises, and identified negative factors that hinder long-term investments. Systematic and comprehensive approaches to analyzing the directions of investment activity of banks allowed us to make a number of recommendations for its improvement, namely: compliance with credit boundaries, monitoring the target use of credit, increasing the level of confidence, credit expansion, etc. This determines the scientific and practical significance of the research.

The relevance of the problem under study is determined by the wide spread of social imitative realities that cause the emergence of false content in modern socio-cultural reality. The dominance of falseological components both in interpersonal interactions and in the extra-normative activity of social elites is becoming a common phenomenon, and the untrue, in comparison with the true, in almost all cases turns out to be more comfortable and advantageous for many people. The aim of the research is social and philosophical comprehension of the falsity of modern people life as related to social imitation. Research methods used are analytical, synthetic, dialectical and phenomenological; their combined application made possible for a holistic consideration of the false in the life of people along with the accompanying social and imitative realities. The main results of the study are to establish the relationship between the expansion of social imitation practices and the falsity of the modern people life. It was found out that the degree of imitation of the life realities of a person and society as a whole is constantly increasing. The essence of the sociocultural crisis taking place nowadays is largely determined by the dominance of distorted images of reality in all spheres of public life, generated by the expansion of social imitation practices. Growing realization of the potentials of such practices contributes to the fact that falsity ceases to be a transitory property of people’s life, becoming its attribute. The article is intended, according to the author’s intention, to attract the attention of philosophers, sociologists, culturologists and representatives of other spheres of social and humanitarian knowledge, exploring the features of the modern social world. It is also worth emphasizing that the results of the socio-philosophical research of the given problem can benefit society by helping it to understand imitation as an imaginary form of social symbolization, which is an important factor in changes in sociocultural reality.

The issue of studying the socio-economic inequality of the population in the regional context is a broad field for research. Of interest are studies based on the analysis of the relationships between the population’s income, debt load or the propensity to accumulation of money, as well as the population’s ability to spend leisure time in restaurants and other similar establishments. The purpose of the article is to identify the features and analyze the dynamics of financial and consumer behavior of the population of the Russian Federation in the regional context. The article studies the financial and consumer behavior of the population of Russian regions, both in time and spatial terms, based on open data from SBER. The spatial regression heterogeneity of data is proved by using the multidimensional classification methods and the time heterogeneity of data is proved by using special statistical criteria used in time series analysis. The revealed differentiation of the regions of the Russian Federation in terms of financial and consumer behavior shows the stability of the class with the highest incomes and consumer expenditures. This class includes the capital regions and the Northern regions where mining operations as economic activity is developed. Meanwhile, almost all of Central Russia belongs to regions with very low incomes, which means that the population of these regions does not have the opportunity to saving up. The population of these regions is characterized by the lowest spending not only in restaurants, but also in fast food cafes. The developed system of equations model based on panel data has a scientific novelty, which allows displaying structural relationships between the population’s income, financial and consumer behavior. In future research, when information for 2020 becomes publicly available, the model parameters should be re-evaluated, and to account for the impact of quarantine measures, appropriate variables (dummies, perhaps) may be introduced into the model. The obtained results and conclusions can be used in the development and evaluation of the effectiveness of projects aimed at demographic development or any socio-economic programs.
DETERMINATION OF THE CONDITIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE F. WEBSTER FORMULA FOR DETERMINING THE TRANSPORT DELAY AT A CIRCULAR INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHT REGULATION AND A CUT-THROUGH CENTRAL ISLAND

The main method of determining transport delay in the national methodical and educational literature is its calculation according to the methodology (formula) of F. Webster (1958), which is based on the theory of mass service. However, in conditions of high traffic congestion or traffic congestion, experimental and calculated data at simple intersections vary considerably. The definition of delays for complex intersections, in particular for the Hamburger Through-About Intersection (further HTAI) is also contradictory. The aim of the study is to improve determine the area of application of F. Webster’s formula for a little-studied roundabouts HTAI. For the first time, the paper addresses the selection of parameters of the HTAI in urban settings, and also introduces a method of calculating transport delays depending on various factors. For the purpose of the study, the hypothesis is put forward that the application of the Webster formula depends on the intensity of traffic on the main and secondary roads, the degree of loading in directions and transport demand for left-turning traffic. According to the hypothesis, on the basis of the collected data, transport delays are calculated on the HTAI from the selected factors. To justify the adequacy of calculations, the method of simulation in the Aimsun (micro-modeling) software complex is used. On the basis of in-kind surveys of section of the road network, a high-reliability simulation model was created, reflecting the current situation at regulated intersection, and also assessed the feasibility of using the HTAI on a section of the road network. There are dependencies of transport delays on traffic in the main and secondary road, effective duration of the cycle of regulation on the main road, traffic on roundabout, the diameter of the islet for the HTAI. Thus, based on the resulting mathematical model, the range of application of the Webster formula is defined, which is affected by the number of lanes for the main and secondary roads, the degree of loading in directions and the number of lanes on the ring. Further research involves the development of a methodology for calculating the parameters of the HTAI.

Objetivo: Descrever e discutir o desenvolvimento de complicações ginecológicas após o Transplante de Células-Tronco Hematopoiéticas (TCTH), entre elas a Doença do Enxerto Contra o Hospedeiro (DECH). Revisão Bibliográfica: Esta complicação ocorre quando há um ataque imunológico das células da medula transplantada contra o receptor e afeta órgãos como pulmão, pele, trato gastrointestinal e mucosas. Além disso, a DECH representa uma das principais causas de morbimortalidade ocasionada pelo TCTH e isso ocorre devido à falta de acompanhamento médico regular e de informações sobre as condutas preventivas pré e pós transplante. Quando ocorrem manifestações ginecológicas, os tratamentos são baseados em terapia hormonal sistêmica, fármacos tópicos e dilatadores vaginais. Considerações finais: A partir desta revisão narrativa sobre o tema, reforça-se a importância da regularidade dos exames ginecológicos em pacientes que se submeteram a TCTH e, considerando que os achados são majoritariamente clínicos e nem sempre evidenciados em biópsia, cabe aos ginecologistas se atentarem à conduta para com essas mulheres, orientando-as acerca de possíveis complicações, visto que muitas vezes são relevadas ante o desconhecimento ou insegurança das pacientes.
