Authors: Queiroz Mônica Leite de , Albuquerque Cláudio Gonçalves de
Published: August 2023

Muitos pacientes que se recuperaram da infecção grave provocada pelo vírus causador da COVID-19 podem apresentar sintomas persistentes e danos pulmonares, como fibrose pulmonar e redução da capacidade respiratória. A reabilitação pulmonar é uma abordagem terapêutica essencial para pacientes pós-UTI (Unidade de Terapia Intensiva) que foram acometidos pela COVID-19 e apresentam comprometimento pulmonar significativo. Entre as técnicas utilizadas nos programas de reabilitação pulmonar de pacientes nessas condições, o treinamento muscular inspiratório ganha destaque. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar, à luz da literatura, os benefícios do treinamento muscular inspiratório (TMI) na reabilitação pulmonar de pacientes acometidos pela COVID-19 pós-UTI. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, cujas buscas foram empreendidas na SCIELO, BVS e PUBMED. Como descritores, foram utilizados: “Covid-19”, “reabilitação pulmonar”, “métodos e técnicas de fisioterapia”, “treinamento muscular respiratório”, “treinamento muscular inspiratório” e “pós-UTI. As buscas resultaram em 553 artigos identificados, entre os quais apenas 5 obedeceram aos critérios de elegibilidade foram incluídos no estudo. Os estudos apontam, entre outros aspectos, que o TMI atua no restabelecimento da função pulmonar, aumentando a força muscular inspiratória, aumento da tolerância ao exercício, contribuindo com a prevenção da fadiga dessa musculatura e auxiliando na reabilitação pulmonar, bem como na melhoria da qualidade de vida desses pacientes. Ainda não existe um consenso relacionado à indicação do tempo de treinamento, evidenciando a importância de novos estudos voltados para essa finalidade.

PROTOTYPE SOLAR TRACKER BERBASIS ARDUINO
Authors: Yanel Karnova , Rozi Saferi
Published: August 2023

Solar radiation is the light – also known as electromagnetic radiation – that is emitted by the sun. The enormous amount of energy generated from sunlight makes solar cells a very promising alternative energy source for the future. Solar cells also have the advantage of being a practical energy source considering they do not require transmission because they can be installed in a modular manner at any location where they are needed. Various technologies have been developed in the process of making solar cells to reduce production costs to make them more economical. The aim of this research has been achieved, namely to design an Arduino-based solar tracking system, so that by using a solar tracker solar energy can be absorbed and produced more optimally than without using a solar tracker. This is proven based on the results of the Black box test. As for the results of testing the system in a black box, the result is that solar panels can move to follow the sunlight and produce maximum energy. So that this tool can be applied to all regions and can assist the government in efforts to overcome energy problems, especially optimizing alternative energy.

Published: August 2023

Abstract. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, from ~26 to 20 ka BP) was the most recent period with large ice sheets in Eurasia and North America. At that time, global temperatures were 5–7 °C colder than today, and sea level ~125 m lower. LGM simulations are useful to understand Earth System dynamics including climate-ice sheet interactions, and to evaluate and improve the models representing those. Here, we present two simulations of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheet climate and surface mass balance with the CESM2.1(CAM5) with prescribed ice sheets for two time periods that bracket the LGM period: 26 ka and 21 ka BP. CESM2.1 includes explicit simulation of snow/firn compaction, albedo, refreezing, and direct coupling of ice sheet surface energy fluxes with the atmosphere. The simulated mean snowfall accumulation is lowest for the Greenland and Barents-Kara Sea Ice Sheets (GrIS, BKIS) and highest for British and Irish (BIIS) and Icelandic (IcIS) ice sheets. Melt rates are negligible for the dry BKIS and GrIS, and relatively large for the BIIS, NAISC, SIS and IcIS, and are reduced by almost a third in the colder 26 ka BP climate compared with 21 ka BP. The surface mass balance (SMB) is positive for the GrIS, BKIS, SIS and IcIS during the LGM (26 ka and 21 ka BP), and negative for the NAISC and BIIS. Relatively wide ablation areas are simulated along the southern (terrestrial), Pacific and Atlantic margins of the NAISC, across all of the BIIS surface, and along the terrestrial southern margin of the SIS. For 26 ka BP climate the integrated SMB substantially increases for the NAISC and BIIS, but it does not reverse the negative sign. Summer incoming solar radiation at the surface is largest over the high interior of the NAISC and GrIS, and minimum over the BIIS and southern margin of NAISC. Summer net radiation is maximum over the ablation areas and minimum where the albedo is highest, namely in the interior of the GrIS, northern NAISC and all of the BKIS. Summer sensible and latent heat fluxes are highest over the ablation areas, positively contributing to melt energy. Refreezing is largest along the equilibrium line for all ice sheets, and prevents 40–50 % of meltwater entering the ocean. Our SMB results are in qualitative agreement with the climatic variability across the different northern hemisphere ice sheets. The large, simulated melt for the NAISC suggests potential biases in the climate simulation, ice sheet reconstruction, and/or highly non-equilibrated climate and ice sheet at the LGM time.
Investigating similarities and differences of the penultimate and last glacial terminations with a coupled ice sheet – climate model
Authors: Quiquet Aurélien , Roche Didier M.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Glacial terminations are marked by a re-organisation of the different components of the climate system. In particular, rapid ice sheet disintegration leads to multiple complex feedback loops that are still poorly understood. To further investigate this aspect, we use here a fully coupled Northern Hemisphere ice sheet – climate model to perform numerical experiments of the last two glacial terminations. We show that even if the first-order climate trajectory is similar for the two terminations, the difference in terms of solar insolation leads to important changes for the ice sheet – climate system. Warmer temperatures during the penultimate termination are compatible with higher sea level during the last interglacial period with respect to the Holocene. We simulate a last interglacial Greenland contribution to sea level rise of about 2 m of sea level equivalent. We also simulate warmer subsurface Southern Ocean, compatible with an additional contribution from the Antarctic ice sheet. In addition, even without considering freshwater flux to the ocean resulting from ice sheet melting, the two terminations display different Atlantic overturning circulation sensitivity, this circulation being more prone to collapses during the penultimate termination. Finally, with additional sensitivity experiments we show that, for the two terminations, the Northern Hemisphere insolation is the main driver for the ice sheet retreat even if vegetation changes have also to be taken into account to simulate the full deglaciation. Conversely, even though it impacts the temperature, greenhouse gas concentration change alone does not explain the amplitude of ice sheet retreat and only modulate its timing.
SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF POLLUTANT GASES IN WESTERN BLACK SEA OF TURKIYE
Authors: Arıkan D. , Yıldız F.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Environmental pollution, particularly air pollution, is one of the foremost problems we face today. Air pollution has become a global issue that affects not only regional areas but also the entire planet. The increase in the amount and concentration of pollutants or harmful substances in the atmosphere, such as various gases, particulate matter, and water vapor, causes air pollution. The rise in these substances can be due to human activities or natural environmental factors. It is crucial to examine air quality to reduce the harm inflicted on living and non-living entities. In this study, the spatial and temporal analysis of air pollutants (CO, NO2, UV_AER) in the Western Black Sea region was conducted using the Sentinel-5 TROPOMI satellite sent to monitor climate change and air quality. The Google Earth Engine platform was used to obtain the data. Monthly pollution maps were created for the year 2022, and the primary sources of pollutants were analysed. As a result, it was observed that pollutants changed on a monthly and seasonal basis, and areas with high pollutant concentrations in the region were identified. Mining, industrial activities, transportation networks, and domestic activities were determined to be the primary sources of air pollution in the study area.
ROCK MASS DISCONTINUITY DETERMINATION WITH TRANSFER LEARNING
Authors: Yalcin I. , Can R. , Kocaman S. , Gokceoglu C.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Rock mass discontinuity and orientation are among the important rock mass features. They are conventionally determined with scan-line surveys by engineering geologists in field, which can be difficult or impossible depending on site accessibility. Photogrammetry and computer vision techniques can aid to automatically perform these measurements, although variations in size, shape and appearance of rock masses make the task challenging. Here we propose an automated approach for the detection of rock mass discontinuities using deep learning and photogrammetric image processing methods. Two deep convolutional neural network (DCNNs) were implemented for this purpose and applied to basalts in Kizilcahamam Guvem Geosite near Ankara, Türkiye. Red-green-blue (RGB) band images of the site were taken from an off-the-shelf camera with 1.7 mm resolution and a 3D digital surface model and orthophotos were produced by using photogrammetric software. The discontinuities were delineated manually on the orthophoto and converted to masks. The first DCNN model was based on the open-source crack dataset consisting of a total of 11,298 road and pavement images, which were used to train the Resnet-18 model (Model-1). The second model (Model-2) was based on fine-tuning of Model-1 using the study data from Kizilcahamam. After fine-tuning, Model-2 was able to achieve high performance with a Jaccard Score of 88% on the test data. The results show high potential of the methodology for transfer learning with fine-tuning of a small amount of data that can be applied to other sites and rock mass types as well.
Analysis of the effects of urban micro-scale vulnerabilities on tsunami evacuation using and Agent-Based model. Case study in the city of Iquique, Chile
Authors: Cienfuegos Rodrigo , Álvarez Gonzalo , León Jorge , Urrutia Alejandro , Castro Sebastián
Published: August 2023

Abstract. The occurrence of mega tsunamis over the last couple of decades has greatly increased the attention of the research community and practitioners to work hand in hand to reduce risks from these highly destructive threats. Protecting the population through evacuation is the best alternative for avoiding loss of life in the wake of the occurrence of a tsunamigenic earthquake. Therefore, guaranteeing the proper state of evacuation routes is very important to ensure appropriate movement to the safe zones. This study carries out a detailed analysis of possible evacuation scenarios, considering the actual state of the escape routes of Iquique, a Chilean city prone to tsunamis, with a substantial amount of urban micro-scale vulnerabilities, i.e., elements that obstruct or complicate pedestrian flow. The quantification of the delay in evacuation processes resulting from the presence of urban micro-vulnerabilities is carried out through micro-scale Agent-Based Modeling (ABM). In addition, these results are integrated with high-resolution tsunami inundation simulations, allowing for an estimation of the potential number of people that the tsunami may reach under different scenarios, by emulating the dynamics and behavior of the population and the decision making regarding the starting time of the evacuation.
Better prepared but less resilient: the paradoxical impact of frequent flood experience on adaptive behavior and resilience
Authors: Köhler Lisa , Masson Torsten , Köhler Sabrina , Kuhlicke Christian
Published: August 2023

Abstract. To better understand factors shaping adaptive behavior
and resilience is crucial in designing policy strategies to prepare people
for future flooding. The central question of our paper is how frequent flood
experience (FFE) impacts adaptive behavior and self-reported resilience. The
applied empirical methods are binary logistic and linear regression models
using data from a panel dataset including 2462 residents (Germany, state of
Saxony). Four main conclusions from the investigations can be drawn. First,
more flood-experienced respondents are statistically significantly more
likely to have taken precautionary measures in the past. Second, FFE has a
statistically significant negative impact on self-reported resilience.
Third, the impact of FFE on the capacity to recover and the capacity to
resist is statistically significantly non-linear. Fourth, putting together
these results reveals the paradox of more flood-experienced respondents
being better prepared but feeling less resilient at the same time. It can be
concluded that more research is needed to obtain deeper insights into the
drivers behind self-reported resilience and that this study can be seen as a
piece of the puzzle, taking frequent flood experience as the primary entry
point.

Published: August 2023

Abstract. The electrical conductivity of gabbroic melt with four different water
contents (i.e., 0 %, 2.59 wt %, 5.92 wt %, and 8.32 wt %) was measured at
temperatures of 873–1373 K and pressures of 1.0–3.0 GPa using a YJ-3000t
multi-anvil high-pressure apparatus and Solartron-1260 impedance
spectroscopy analyzer. At a fixed water content of 2.59 wt %, the
electrical conductivity of the sample slightly decreased with increasing
pressure in the temperature range of 873–1373 K, and its corresponding
activation energy and activation volume were determined as 0.87 ± 0.04 eV and −1.98 ± 0.02 cm3 molec.−1, respectively. Under the
certain conditions of 873–1373 K and 1.0 GPa, the electrical conductivity of
the gabbroic melts tends to gradually increase with a rise in water content
from 0 wt % to 8.32 wt %, and the activation enthalpy decreases from 0.93 to
0.63 eV accordingly. Furthermore, functional relation models for the
electrical conductivity of gabbroic melts with variations of
temperature, pressure, and water content were constructed at high-temperature
and high-pressure conditions. In addition, the dependence
relation of the electrical conductivity of melts with the degree of
depolymerization was explored under conditions of four different water
contents at 1373 K and 1.0 GPa, and three previously available reported
results on those of representative calc-alkaline igneous rock melts (i.e.,
dacitic melt, basaltic melt, and andesitic melt) were compared in detail. In
combination with our presently acquired electrical
conductivity data on gabbroic melt with four different water contents and
the available data on polycrystalline olivine, the electrical conductivity
of a gabbroic melt–olivine system with variation of the volume percentage of
anhydrous and hydrous melts was successfully constructed by using the
typical Hashin–Shtrikman upper-bound model. In light of the electrical
conductivity of the gabbroic melt–olivine system with previous magnetotelluric (MT) results,
we find that anhydrous and hydrous gabbroic melts can be employed to
reasonably interpret the high-conductivity anomalies in the Mohns Ridge of
the Arctic Ocean.

Authors: V. G. Arude  , S. P. Deshmukh  , S. K. Shukla  , P. G. Patil
Published: August 2023

Low capacities of double roller (DR) gins provides an economic barrier to its widespread application. Feeding mechanism to DR gin plays a significant role in enhancing ginning efficiency. Saw band cylinder-type single-locking feeder was developed with an aim to unlock the cotton bolls and maintain constant feeding rate of individual locules. It comprised of twin regulator, reservoir box, saw band cylinders and feeding apron. It regulated feed rate to about 220-240 kg.h-1. The performance was evaluated in comparison to conventional feeding system. Saw band cylinder speed and cotton moisture content were optimized by using RSM. Quadratic equations for prediction of ginning output and specific energy were generated by using RSM. The ginning output and reduction in bulk density increased by 6.47 % and 22.57 %, respectively, whereas the specific energy decreased by 3.25 per cent. Multiple response analysis showed the optimum levels of moisture content of 7.32 % (w.b.) and saw cylinder speed of 200 rpm with desirability of 0.936 by maximazing output and minimizing specific energy. Cotton quality was found to improve in terms of colour grade due to increase in degree of reflectance and reduction in yellowness.

Published: August 2023

The knowledge of wetted width, depth and maximum wetted width beneath the surface of soil is required in design and management of an efficient drip irrigation system, which can largely be controlled by emitter discharge and time of irrigation. Temporal movement of wetting in horizontal and vertical directions under surface point source was studied in acrylic tank at 0.5 l.h-1, 1.0 l.h-1, 2.0 l.h-1 and 4.0 l.h-1 emitter discharges in vertisols. However, a constant volume was applied in each run. Power equation based models were developed using results obtained for temporal changes in parameters of wetting geometry like the horizontal surface wetting width (Bs ), maximum wetting depth (d), maximum horizontal wetting width (B) at high value of correlation. The maximum wetted radius at the soil surface as well as beneath the soil surface increased with the increase in emitter discharge rate. The maximum wetting radius at soil surface was found to be 113 mm, 115 mm, 132 mm and 134 mm at discharge rate of 0.5 l.h-1, 1.0 l.h-1, 2.0 l.h-1 and 4.0 l.h-1, respectively. The maximum wetted depth did not increase with increase in emitter discharge rate. It covered distance of 133 mm, 119 mm, 119 mm and 119 mm with emitter discharge rates of 0.5 l.h-1, 1.0 l.h-1, 2.0 l.h-1 and 4.0 l.h-1, respectively.

Sulabha-Janaka Samvada in Vyasa’s Mahabharata: Debating Meaning and Language Structures
Authors: Singh Alka , Arora Bhavya
Published: August 2023

The present paper  offers an analytical study on  the Sulabha-Janaka Samvada as one of the significant pieces of philosophical and religious instructions in the Shanti Parva of Vyasa’s Mahabharata. The dialogue that takes place between a male emperor and female recluse  stands tall not only because it serves as an exploration of key feminine voices incessantly debating the ideas of Samkhya Philosophy and means to salvation(moksa) but also because it establishes Sulabha’s discourses as a rare occasion in the ambit of Sanskrit Literature. In this discourse, we find the idea of what constitutes a well-knit argument, proponents of a debate that defines meaning-making in the process of closely scrutinized and investigated language structure. This discourse between two polar personalities becomes a short philosophical dialogic treatise, amid hefty monologues such as the incessant instructions by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita and Bheeshma in the Shanti Parva interspaced by many teachings of Vidura. Sulabha’s counter-arguments to Janaka are significant for it redefines the meaning and path to moksa, and in the process, expounds on what is proper speech, the correct usage of language and vocabulary and the purpose of doing so irrespective of the biases of class, gender, caste and educational elitism. The Sulabha-Janaka conversation has not received its due credit either in the Western or Eastern academic scholarship and scholarly attention has only been invested in the teachings of theGita, the ideas of dharma and many similar aspects. This short textual study provides a fresh perspective on philosophizing human need of meaning making and understanding the art of negotiating the engagement process of meaning associated with its structure.

Evaluation of the Appropriateness of Antimicrobial Drug Dosages in Intensive Care Unit Patients
Authors: MEMİŞ Hasan , ÇAKIR Ahmet , ÖZDEMİR Nesligül , GÜN Zeynep Ülkü
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that required dose adjustments of antimicrobial drugs in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and to identify the drugs that required the most dose adjustments.

The 26-bed reanimation ICU of a university-affiliated hospital hosted this study from September to December 2022. Two clinical pharmacists on duty examined patients' antimicrobial drug dosages daily. The acceptance status of the recommendations and the patients' demographic information were recorded.

The study involved 133 ICU patients, and antimicrobial drug recommendations were made for 48 patients, 31 (64.6%) of whom were male. The median (IQR) age of the 48 patients was 67 (54–77). The number of recommendations was 94, and all of them were accepted by the physician. The recommendation rates according to the causes were: inappropriate dosages based on renal functions (71.3%), presence of continuous renal replacement therapy (11.7%), indication (10.6%), body weight (4.3%), and loading dose (2.1%).

The top 3 drugs for which recommendations were made the most were colistin (21.3%), meropenem (18.1%), and piperacillin-tazobactam (12.8%). The most troublesome drug was colistin, which is frequently used to treat Acinetobacter pneumonia. Clinical pharmacist and physician collaboration may help rationalize ICU antimicrobial drug use.
Higher Education and the Promotion of Pro-Ecosystem Behaviour among Students
Authors: Ntim Stephen
Published: August 2023

This study examined the synergy between higher education and the promotion of pro-ecosystem behaviour among students. Using descriptive research survey with purposive, stratified sampling of estimated two hundred (200) respondents to gauge perspectives on key questions on climate change, the following were the major findings: promoting pro-ecosystem behaviour requires a more integrative and multi-dimensional approach; an understanding of the social system and its gendered impact of how particular groups are at risk on climate change; developing ethical reasoning with critical thinking. Even though, Climate Change is of critical importance and education has been on-going in Ghanaian Higher Education, there are still gaps. Few developments of new climate courses or programs, lack of inter-unit team teaching across disciplines in Ghanaian universities, limited research capacities as well as little or no engagement of the universities with the communities on climate change. This suggests that more needs to be done.
