Published: September 2021

The present study is intended to understand the buying behaviour of sweet corn consumers. For the study Hyderabad and Vijayawada cities were purposively considering the markets for sweet corn and consumer diversity. A representative sample of sixty sweet corn consumers were selected by using simple random sampling technique from the market. The collected data was analyzed by using appropriate tools like percentage and frequencies and Garrett’s ranking. From the investigation it was found that majority of sample consumers preferred to buy sweet corn in raw cob form compared to other forms. Frequency of consumption of sweet corn details revealed that greater percentage of sample consumers were consuming once in a month followed by occasional consumption. Out of the total sample consumer 45 per cent informed that the average monthly consumption is 10-20 cobs. The top preferred reasons for sweet corn purchase were good taste and healthy food. Most preferred place by respondent consumers to purchase sweet corn cobs was from road side vendors followed by small grocery stores.

Published: September 2021

The objective of this study is to identify extent of coordination among the supply stakeholders; measure supply chain performance and to study the impact of supply chain coordination on supply chain performance. The study is based on primary data collected from dairy supply chain stakeholders namely farmer-producers, bulk milk coolers (BMC), processing unit, wholesalers and retailers. The data was collected through combination of personal interviews, telephonic interviews and e-mail. The total sample size of this study is 420 spread across 28 firms with each firm representing a total of 15 respondents. Linear regression was performed to study the impact of supply chain coordination on supply chain performance. The results of this study reveal that supply chain coordination positively impacts all the supply chain performance metrics namely efficiency, responsiveness, flexibility and quality. Supply chain coordination has highest impact on supply chain responsiveness followed by supply chain quality, supply chain flexibility and supply chain efficiency. In case of impact of supply chain coordination on overall supply chain performance, there is an evidence of strong impact of supply chain coordination on supply chain performance.

Published: September 2021

Raw milk quality and quantity is the corner stone of excellent dairy products. Milk procurement guards this with an eagle eye and ensures that company’s production needs are met. Milk procurement is the starting point of FPO’s dairy supply chain. The FPO owned dairy unit has adopted a system of milk collection through village level milk pooling points (MPP’s). MPP is a common place in villages where the farmers pool their milk. The person who collects the milk from the farmers is called as “Pala Mitra” / “MPP operator”. The present study was carried out at the selected BMC centre of a FPO owned dairy unit in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. The principal objective of the study was to optimize the milk procurement routes using travelling salesman model. The findings of the study show that in route-1 the optimized distance is 48.2 kilometers, time travelled to cover all the milk pooling points is 83.5 minutes and the total cost per trip is around 345 Rs. In route-2 optimized distance is 26.7 kilometers, time travelled to cover all the milk pooling points is 76 minutes and the total cost per trip is around 191 Rs. In route-3 optimized distance is 18.4 kilometers, time travelled to cover all the milk pooling points is 71 minutes and the total cost per trip is around 132 Rs.There was a significance reduction of total distance, time and cost in raw milk transportation for the identified bulk milk cooling unit with the optimization of routes was observed. The total distance for travelling to procure the milk to BMC unit has been reduced to 186.8 kilometers per day from 194.6 kilometers per day. The total time of travelling to procure milk to BMC unit was reduced from 501 minutes per day to 461 minutes per day. The total cost incurred for transportation of raw milk to BMC unit has been reduced from 1391.4 Rs. to 1335.6 Rs. With route optimization in all routes of identified bulk milk cooling unit a total reduction in cost of transportation of 55.77 Rs. per day could be achieved. As these transportation operations are routine and need to be done throughout the year an annual cost saving of 20,356 Rs. per annum for the identified BMC unit could be achieved.
About the necessity of including HoBi-like pestiviruses in bovine respiratory and reproductive viral vacines
Authors: Silva Paulo Henrique Hümmelgen , Weiblen Rudi , Flores Eduardo F.
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT: HoBi-like pestiviruses (HoBiPeV) constitute a novel group of bovine pestiviruses, genetically and antigenically related to bovine viral diarrhea virus 1 (BVDV-1) and BVDV-2. Recent data shows that HoBiPeV are endemic among Brazilian cattle, yet bovine reproductive/respiratory vaccines contain only BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 strains. The present study investigated the neutralizing antibody response against these pestiviruses induced by two commercial vaccines (VA = attenuated, VI = inactivated) and by three experimental, replicative, vaccine formulations (VAC1 = monovalent, BVDV-1; VAC2 = bivalent, BVDV-1 + BVDV-2; VAC3 = trivalent, BVDV-1 + BVDV-2 and HoBiPeV). Seronegative beef calves were immunized once (replicative vaccines) or twice (inactivated vaccine) and serum samples were tested by virus-neutralization (VN) 30 days after vaccination (dpv) (replicative vaccines) or 30 days after the second dose (VI). We considered a threshold VN titer of ≥60 indicative of protection against clinical disease. At 30 dpv, VA induced protective titers against BVDV-2 in 7/7 animals (GMT=289.8) and against BVDV-1 and HoBiPeV in 5/7 animals (GMTs=97.5 and 80, respectively). VI induced protective titers against BVDV-1 in 1/7 animal (GMT=16.4), 2/7 animals against BVDV-2 (GMT=53.8) and in none of the calves against HoBiPeV (GMT=12.2). When a pool of sera of each vaccine group was tested against individual Brazilian isolates, VA induced protective titers against 3/7 BVDV-1 isolates, to 9/10 (BVDV-2) and 1/8 (HoBiPeV); VI induced protective titers against 1/7 (BVDV-1), 1/10 (BVDV-2) and none (0/8) HoBiPeV isolates. The experimental vaccine VAC1 induced protective titers against BVDV-1 in 9/9 animals (GMT=320) but in no animal against BVDV-2 or HoBiPeV (GMT<10). VAC2 induced protective titers to BVDV-1 and BVDV-2 in 9/9 animals (GMTs=160 and 640, respectively), and against HoBiPeV in 7/9 animals (GMT=108.5). Finally, VAC3 induced protective titers in all animals against BVDV-1 (GMT=234.3), BVDV-2 (294.9) and HoBiPeV (201.1). Testing the pool of sera against pestivirus isolates, VAC1 induced titers ≥ 60 against 4/7 BVDV-1 but to none BVDV-2/HoBiPeV isolate; VAC2 induced protective titers against 4/7 BVDV-1; 10/10 BVDV-2 and 2/8 HoBiPeV; VAC3 induced protective titers against all BVDV-1, BVDV-2 and HoBiPeV isolates. These results indicate that vaccines composed by BVDV-1+BVDV-2, especially those containing inactivated virus, may not induce serological response against a variety of HoBiPeV isolates. Thus, the need of inclusion of HoBiPeV in vaccine formulations should be considered.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the domains of quality of life related to hematologic cancer patient health in the first three years from autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Method: A prospective cohort from September 2013 to February 2019 at a reference service in Latin America with 55 patients. The instruments Quality of Life Questionnaire Core C30 and Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy – Bone Marrow Transplantation were used. For data analysis, Generalized Linear Mixed Model was used. Results: The domains global and overall quality of life presented the lowest scores in the pancytopenia phase: 59.3 and 91.4 in autologous, 55.3 and 90.3 in allogeneic. The mixed method analysis has shown that there was a significant change in scores between the phases throughout the treatment (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Health-related quality of life presented significant changes in the domains between the phases throughout time. Understanding these results enables nursing interventions directed at the domains which were damaged during treatment.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of risk factors for infection that add up to the nursing diagnosis risk of infection in people with AIDS who are hospitalized. Method: Accuracy study with case-control design carried out with a total of 208 people living with AIDS and hospitalized between 2010 and 2016. The cases comprised people living with HIV, hospitalized and who developed infection related to health care and controls to those who did not develop it. Secondary data from medical records and research forms were used to respond to the data collection instrument for sociodemographic, clinical evaluation and investigation of the presence or absence of risk factors. The accuracy of clinical diagnostic indicators was measured through specificity, sensitivity and predictive values. Results: The risk factor that showed the greatest sensitivity and specificity was chronic illness, while the invasive procedure and the change in the integrity of the skin had the highest positive predictive value. Conclusion: Accurate diagnoses allow nurses to build a nursing intervention plan aimed at the needs of this population.
Reflexões sobre a tomada de decisões no restauro de um manuscrito iluminado setecentista
Authors: CAMPOS ANA CRISTINA TORRES
Published: September 2021

RESUMO Em 2018, um códice manuscrito iluminado, intitulado Compromisso da Irmandade do Smo. Sacramento da Freguezia de Nossa Senhora do Pilar Das Congonhas do Anno de 1725 foi restaurado dentro de um projeto cujo objetivo é pensar a relação entre a conservação-restauração e a história. As decisões de intervenção foram tomadas dentro de uma perspectiva que busca o balanço entre duas forças aparentemente opostas: a manutenção dos aspectos materiais da passagem do tempo e as intervenções necessárias para garantir a continuidade de seus aspectos funcionais, simbólicos e estéticos pelo maior tempo possível. São discutidas decisões tomadas no processo de restauro concernentes ao miolo do livro, ou seja, no processo de reestruturação de suporte e de atenuação de manchas, buscando expor os caminhos que levaram à tomada de determinadas decisões em detrimento de outras e compreender como o trabalho de restauração, assim como qualquer outro tipo de intervenção, está ligado à uma série de valores que muito têm a dizer sobre quem age sobre o objeto.

Authors: Barros Levi Coelho Maia , Lima Matheus Eugênio de Sousa , Pereira Roseny Marinho Mesquita , Vasconcelos Lia Arcanjo Alves , Rabelo Willenne Campelo
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe a rare case of cardiac tamponade in a pediatric patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, and to discuss the relationship between these morbidities, the diagnostic approach, and the possible treatments. Case description: A 9-year-old girl presented to the emergency department with severe dyspnea, muffled heart sounds, jugular vein distention, hemodynamic instability, and intense pallor. She had previously been followed up at the outpatient clinic for a six-month history of mild respiratory distress, polyarthritis, fever, and various cutaneous manifestations. Doppler echocardiogram revealed pericardial effusion. The patient was submitted to pericardiocentesis followed by water seal pleuropericardial drainage, with no complications. The investigation continued, with fulfillment of clinical and laboratory SLE criteria plus CMV antigenemia of 15/200,000 cells. Medications to control CMV infection and SLE were then initiated, with good clinical and laboratory response. Comments: Pediatric SLE commonly manifests in a more severe form, accounting for high morbimortality. Cardiac tamponade could be one of the first manifestations of SLE, which can also be precipitated by infectious agents, such as CMV, leading to diagnostic confusion and misleading the treatment. Changes in therapeutics must also be considered in the presence of both conditions. This study presents a juvenile SLE case aggravated by a CMV infection with the unusual manifestation of cardiac tamponade.%

Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze scientific evidence on the use of blenderized tube feeding in children regarding nutritional composition, family satisfaction, and health outcomes. Data source: Survey was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases using the following search terms: blenderized tube feeding OR blended tube feeding OR homemade OR pureed AND enteral nutrition AND enteral tube. The methodological quality of the selected articles was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skill Programme and Hierarchical Classification of Evidence. Data synthesis: After analysis, 11 articles were included in the present review. Most studies demonstrated improvements in health outcomes and greater family satisfaction after replacing the commercial enteral feeding with blenderized tube feeding. Conclusions: When guided and monitored by the healthcare team, a blenderized tube feeding ensures an adequate nutritional composition. The use of this method is also associated with positive health outcomes such as reductions in gastrointestinal symptoms and hospitalizations. Moreover, a high frequency of family satisfaction was verified.%
President Bolsonaro’s Promises and Actions on Corruption Control
Authors: Lagunes Paul , Michener Gregory , Odilla Fernanda , Pires Breno
Published: September 2021

Abstract Before the 2018 Brazilian presidential elections, candidate Jair Bolsonaro offered a bold message on corruption control. Among his promises, Bolsonaro vowed to promote government transparency, dismiss any member of his team accused of corruption, and defend the country’s institutions of accountability. Bolsonaro also offered to support a once-popular legislative reform proposal known as the Ten Measures Against Corruption. However, it is worth cautioning that anticorruption as a rhetorical device has been a near-permanent feature of the Brazilian political landscape. In this article, we seek to compare Bolsonaro’s campaign promises with his early actions as president. The evidence shows that, months after the 2018 elections, President Bolsonaro has failed the anticorruption mandate on which he was elected.
Trayectorias y contexto político de los organismos ciudadanos: el control de la corrupción en Ecuador
Authors: Gutiérrez-Magaña Héctor Manuel
Published: September 2021

En este artículo se analizan los organismos ciudadanos de regulación (OCR) mediante un diálogo entre la literatura sobre organismos regulatorios e instituciones participativas. En los ORC se combinan la delegación de tareas de control sobre política pública en agencias estatales independientes con las cualidades ciudadanas de los dirigentes. Precisamente, en este texto, se argumenta que las trayectorias de consolidación y debilitamiento de los OCR están ligadas a la capacidad de sus líderes para construir reconocimiento; en tal mecanismo intervienen la forma en que ocupan sus posiciones en el Estado y los factores del contexto político. El análisis se basa en un estudio de caso de los organismos de control ciudadano ante la corrupción en Ecuador entre 2000 y 2017; se revisan notas de prensa, informes, entrevistas y datos de las siguientes encuestadoras: Barómetro de las Américas, Latinobarómetro y Perfiles de Opinión. Se examina, durante tres contextos políticos no equivalentes, cómo el acceso de perfiles ciudadanos a organismos reguladores incide en la capacidad de sus líderes para ganar reconocimiento y facilitar procesos de consolidación institucional. Se concluye que la disposición de espacios para organizaciones sociales es positiva para la consolidación de los OCR, sobre todo en entornos de fragmentación política, mientras que los arreglos de tipo meritocrático no contribuyen a la adquisición de reconocimiento, especialmente en entornos de competencia política cerrada.
Experticia estadística en la administración pública ecuatoriana: mecanismos de emergencia y legitimación
Authors: Villacís Byron
Published: September 2021

La estadística representa una herramienta de gobernanza esencial en la administración pública contemporánea. Su producción en Ecuador depende del campo de expertos que emergieron y se legitimaron en el periodo 1927-2020. ¿Qué rol jugaron fuerzas locales y externas en este proceso? ¿Qué factores sociopolíticos permitieron la construcción de la disciplina estadística en el país? A través de la revisión de archivos históricos y de entrevistas en profundidad, en este artículo se expone que el campo de quienes se dedican a la estadística pública en el país ha resultado de la superposición de cuatro fuerzas centrípetas externas y tres fuerzas centrífugas locales. Las herencias de la Misión Kemmerer, la influencia de la CEPAL, la creciente automatización de la gestión del Estado y la demanda internacional de reportes nacionales fomentaron espacios de emergencia para estos profesionales. Además, estilos de gobiernos locales, frecuentes rediseños institucionales y redefiniciones de competencias organizacionales complementaron esta dinámica. La academia jugó al inicio un rol itinerante y disperso respecto a la producción de expertos estadísticos; no obstante, a partir de procesos de regulación estatal alcanzó una estabilidad temática e institucional. En este texto se presentan elementos útiles para demostrar que las estadísticas no constituyen dispositivos objetivos y aislados, sino que son el producto de relaciones sociales que es necesario historizar.

Published: September 2021

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, sabit ortodontik tedavilerde kullanılan prefabrik ark tellerinin maksiller ve mandibular çene dental ark formu üzerine etkilerinin 3-boyutlu (3D) olarak değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Gazi Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ortodonti Anabilim Dalında tedavi görmüş maksilla ve mandibulada yaklaşık 3 mm olmak üzere minimal çapraşıklığa sahip olan 46 bireyin tedavi başı (T0) ve tedavi sonu (T1) dental modelleri dahil edildi. Dental alçı modelleri 3Shape R700 3D Scanner ile taranarak STL görüntü dosyaları şeklinde, 3Shape ortho analyzer software programına aktarıldı. 3D görüntüler üzerinde maksilla ve mandibula için inter-kanin, inter-1. premolar, inter-2. premolar, inter-molar mesafeler, kanin derinliği, molar derinliği ölçümleri yapıldı. Maksilla için ayrıca alan hesaplanması tüm dişlerin mukogingival birleşim hattı ile distalde 1. molar dişlerin distal noktaları arasındaki alan için yapıldı. Normallik varsayımının incelenmesinde Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi kullanıldı. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ortalama ve standart sapmalar şeklinde sunuldu. Bağımlı iki grubun karşılaştırılmasında eşleştirilmiş t-testi kullanıldı. Anlamlılık düzeyi için sınır 0.05 olarak alındı.
Bulgular: Maksillada kanin derinliği, mandibulada ise inter-kanin genişlik haricinde tüm değerlerde tedavi ile anlamlı artışlar görüldü. Maksillada en fazla artış 2.6 mm ile 1.premolar dişler arasında izlenirken, mandibulada 2.45 mm ile 2.premolar dişler arasında izlendi (p<0.001). Maksiller alan artışı ise ortalama 81.69 mm2 ile anlamlı bulundu (p<0.001). Molar derinlik artışı hem maksilla hem de mandibula için 0.5 mm olarak tespit edildi (p<0.001).
Sonuç: Hastaların tedavi başı ark formuna uygun olarak seçilen Ni-Ti seviyeleme arkları hem maksilla hem de mandibulada transversal yönde anlamlı artışlara sebep olmaktadır.

Published: September 2021

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the presence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and their severity in asymptomatic and healthy individuals using the Fonseca anamnestic index. Materials and Method: A total of 135 individuals (80 females and 55 males, mean age 34.4±10.9) were involved in the study. The Fonseca anamnestic index was administered to the individuals. The data analysis was conducted by using Pearson's chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, one-way ANOVA, and Spearman’s correlation. Results: TMD was detected in 63% of the individuals. Most of them (40%) had mild TMD. The difference between gender and TMD severity was statistically significant (p=0.001). Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain showed a statistically significant positive correlation with headache and emotional stress (r=0.312, p˂0.001; r=0.299, p˂0.001, respectively). TMJ pain showed the strongest positive correlation with clicking (r=0.443, p˂0.001). Bruxism showed positive correlations with the TMJ pain and clicking (r=0.197, p=0.022 and r= 0.221, p=0.010, respectively). Conclusion: The Fonseca anamnestic index is a reliable diagnostic tool that can be used to detect TMD-related symptoms and severity even in asymptomatic and healthy participants, providing rapid results in clinical practice.

Authors: SARIÇAM Esma , İNCE YUSUFOĞLU Selen
Published: September 2021

Objective: This study aimed to determine the oral health of hepatitis B-infected individuals by comparing the DMFT index, which is recommended by the World Health Organization for assessing oral health, and the extraction and root canal treatment rates with those of healthy patients.
Materials and Method: The panoramic radiographs of 212 hepatitis B-infected and 213 healthy individuals aged 18-74 years who applied for dental treatment between January and June 2018 were evaluated. Using the panoramic radiographs, the numbers of teeth subject to root canal treatment (RCT), decay (D), extraction (M), and restorative and prosthetic treatments (F) were recorded along with the total DMFT score. These rates were compared within and between the different age groups (18-34, 35-44, 45-65, and 66-74) and genders. The statistical analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The level of significance was set to be p < 0.05.
Results: F and RCT rates in the healthy group and DMFT, D, and M rates in the hepatitis B-infected group were found to be statistically significantly higher (p < 0.05). The DMFT scores of all age groups were statistically significantly higher in the hepatitis B-infected group compared to the healthy group (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed among age groups in terms of DMFT scores within the healthy and hepatitis B-infected groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: When compared to healthy individuals, the DMFT, D, and M rates of individuals infected with hepatitis B were found to be higher, but the F and RCT rates were lower. Hepatitis B-infected individuals should be motivated to improve their oral health

Published: September 2021

This is a sub-protocol designed to extract/isolate ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) DNA to obtain ultra-long (UL) reads on Nanopore sequencers using the Circulomics Nanobind CBB Big DNA Kit. A DNA extraction protocol that yields clean and homogeneous UHMW DNA is important for a good UL sequencing output. The choice of protocol should be based on achieving these parameters. The Circulomics Nanobind CBB Big DNA Kit was initially the recommended extraction protocol for UL sequencing using SQK-ULK001. We tested this sub-protocol in human cell line, with standard input cells of 6 millions. As a rule of thumb, a million cells will suffice for one load on a MinION.

Abstract Introduction: Community health workers (CHW) or volunteers are health workers who are trained but do not possess a professional certificate. They are community members who live and work in that particular community. The Ministry of Health Malaysia had initiated a community-based intervention programme, Healthy Community Empowers the Nation or ‘Komuniti Sihat Pembina Negara’ (KOSPEN) in October 2013. In this programme, CHWs main task is to conduct non-communicable diseases (NCD) risk factor screening. Methods: Data from the “Evaluation of the implementation of KOSPEN programme in Malaysia 2016” was used. It is a cross-sectional study which was carried out in randomly selected KOSPEN localities throughout Malaysia. Logistic regression analysis was applied to determine factors associated with not performing KOSPEN screening activities by the volunteers. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Results: A total of 700 volunteers were included in this study. Most of the volunteers were female (65.7%) and were aged 50-59 years (30.9%), followed by those aged 40-49 (27.1%). Majority had secondary education (65.3%), employed (55.7%.) and were married (80.4%). Multivariate logistic regression showed that volunteers who never attended training (aOR 2.79; 95% CI:1.66, 4.67) and who felt the content of the training module was inadequate (aOR 2.693; 95% CI: 1.46, 4.98) were more likely to not perform screening activities in the community. Conclusion: Attendance of the training should be a pre-requisite to qualify as a volunteer. Improvement to the training module should done to increase comprehensibility of the modules among the volunteers. Keywords: KOSPEN-community health workers-NCD screening-community-based intervention

ntroduction Fall is a health problem for older persons. This study investigates the potential factors of concern: the nutritional status of the elderly and non-communicable disease association with incidents of falls. Methods and Materials This study used data from NHMS 2018, a cross-sectional design, applied two-stage stratified cluster sampling. Descriptive statistics such as the percentage of each variable were done. Factors associated with falls were determined at both univariate and multivariable levels using simple logistic regression and multiple logistic regression. The data were presented as standard values for each analysis and adjusted odds ratios with 95% CI with p values (<0.05). Results A total of 3,867 from 3,977 elderly (mean age 68.2+ 6.85) were recruited with the response rate of 97.2%. Factors associated with fall were 70 years old and above (AOR= 1.34, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.64), obesity (AOR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.21, 1.98), undernutrition (AOR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.30, 1.94), persons with 2 NCDs (AOR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.15, 1.92) and persons with 3 NCDs (AOR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.23, 2.16). Discussion and Conclusion Advanced age, malnutrition, obesity, and having two or more NCD are associated with falls in the NHMS 2018 study. In conclusion, falls are prevalent among older persons. There is an urgent need for public health strategies to decrease the incidence and early identification of those at risk. Implementation of fall preventive programs can also significantly reduce falls among the elderly.

This paper reviews the safety culture in handling radioactive sources. Safety culture refers to how safety is addressed and communicated in the workplace. It encompasses the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and values of all employees in an organization in relation to safety. A good safety culture can be promoted by management through commitment to safety, realistic practices for handling hazards, continuous organizational learning and concern for hazards shared across the workforce. The radioactive substances used should comply with the following characteristics where radiotoxicity must be as low as possible, short-living isotopes are preferred than long-living ones and the amounts used must be kept to a minimum. Therefore, the ‘As Low As Reasonably Achievable’ (ALARA) principle was applied that based on the minimization of radiation doses and limiting the release of radioactive materials into the environment by employing all reasonable methods. Besides that, the ALARA principle is an integral part of all activities that involve the use of radiation or radioactive materials and can help prevent unnecessary exposure as well as overexposure. The three major ALARA principles to assist with maintaining doses are time, distance and shielding. It takes a whole team effort to successfully implement the ALARA in safety culture while doing routine element of working in handling radioactive materials.
Dr. Excellent: The Systemic and Personal Conditions for Being an Academic Star in Communication Studies
Authors: Goyanes Manuel , Demeter Márton
Published: September 2021

Pursuing excellence is a legitimate ambition of many scholars worldwide. However, between wishful thinking and real facts lies a great leap that can only be bridged using a myriad of resources. We label these the excellence repertoire. Based on 25 interviews with successful communication scholars, we show the key role of accumulating social, economic, and institutional capital in shaping the excellence repertoire. The study argues that the fetishization of productivity might jeopardize the traditional ethos of science, in a context where research excellence may be disconnected from the quality of education.

The study of biochemical processes in chronic alcohol intoxication is a topical issue of our time. A deeper understanding of the mechanism of action of proteinases in this pathological condition will help in the development and search for non-invasive diagnostic methods, thereby minimizing the risk of harming human health during complex diagnostic procedures. In our experiment, we investigated the general proteolytic activity, the activity of metalloproteinases and serine proteinases in the liver and kidneys of rats on an experimental model of chronic alcohol intoxication on days 1, 3, 7, and 11 of the experiment, as well as on days 21 and 28 after the cessation of ethanol administration. Male rats weighing 180–200 g were modeled for chronic alcohol intoxication by intragastric administration of 30% ethyl alcohol solution for 10 days on an empty stomach, at the rate of 2 ml per 100 g of animal weight. Liver and kidney homogenate by well-known methods. The concentration was determined by the Bradford method. The total proteolytic activity, the activity of metalloproteinases and serine proteinases were determined by the caseinolytic method with modifications. The total proteolytic activity, the activity of metalloproteinases and serine proteinases were determined by the caseinolytic method with modifications.

It was shown that on the 3rd, 7th and 11th days of the experiment in the liver there was an increase in the total proteolytic activity and the activity of metalloproteinases. The activity of serine proteinases significantly increased on days 3 and 7 of the study. In the kidneys, a significant increase in all studied activities was observed only on the 3rd day. Such differences in the activities of metalloproteinases and serine proteinases can be associated with the different roles of these enzymes in physiological processes. Thus, we observed an increase in the activity of serine proteinases in acute intoxication, and in metalloproteinases in chronic intoxication.

An Earthquake Detection and Location Architecture for Continuous Seismograms: Phase Picking, Association, Location, and Matched Filter (PALM)
Authors: Zhou Yijian , Yue Han , Fang Lihua , Zhou Shiyong , Zhao Li , Ghosh Abhijit
Published: September 2021

We developed an earthquake detection and location architecture for continuous seismograms that incorporates phase picking, phase association, location, and matched-filter techniques (PALM). The PALM architecture incorporates two modules: (1) PAL, the initial detection following picking, association, and location processes, and (2) match, expand, shift, and stack (MESS), a matched-filter detector that augments the template catalog. The effectiveness of PALM is demonstrated in building an early aftershock catalog for the 2019 Ridgecrest, California, earthquake. By comparing with Southern California Seismic Network arrival times, we show that the PAL picker combines the strengths of short-term average/long-term average and the kurtosis picker, realizing robust phase detection and precise picking. Our final MESS catalog is compared with two other matched-filter catalogs by Ross, Idini, et al. (2019) and Shelly (2020). We find that PALM directly recovers unbiased and detailed features in seismicity from continuous seismograms, which can be efficiently implemented to scan continuous waveforms without the need for visual inspection.
Indexing Kiez - Zur Deethnisierung juventulektaler Stile
Authors: Bahlo Nils , Lohse Sharon
Published: September 2021

Monolingual speakers have in the past been less associated with ethnolectal speaking. However, various corpora increasingly show elements that were assigned to Kiez- or Turkic-German - even in monolingual data. In our article we show prominent features of ethnolectal speechstyles by giving three examples, which no longer directly reflect the extra-linguistic dimension ethnicity. In conclusion, we advocate locating the data in the stylespectrum of adolescents, which should indicate a streetcredibility and toughness of the speakers.
80 Years After – Ways to a common German-Polish Culture of Remembrance?
Authors: Czachur Waldemar , Lüger Heinz-Helmut
Published: September 2021

The article analyses two speeches commemorating the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War, delivered by the German President Frank Walter Steinmeier and the Polish President Andrzej Duda. The authors examine the two texts and ask what aspects of World War II the politicians evoke in their speeches, what images of the Self and the Other are created and what goals are pursued. In the beginning, the article outlines the different meanings of World War II in Polish and German collective memory, and then it proceeds to briefly characterise the commemorative speech as a type of speech. A special emphasis is placed on the analysis of the perspectives underlying the speeches, including the theses presented, as well as on the comparison of the most important differences.
