Mechanical Performance of Steel Fiber Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete
Authors: Manikantha Maddula Rama , Sophia M.
Published: November 2022

Concrete is used more than water worldwide. The need for Conventional concrete rises in tandem with the demand for concrete as a building material. According to estimates, cement production rose from 1.5 billion tons in 1995 to 4.5 billion tons in 2020. Finding a substitute for Cement concrete, whose production uses the most resources, is therefore inevitable. Researchers have been inspired to create an alternative binder paste to totally replace cement paste by the use of supplemental cementing ingredients such fly ash, silica fume, granulated blast furnace slag, and rice-husk ash. These inorganic amorphous binders will chemically react to form geo polymer concrete, a cutting-edge building material. We use additional cementitious materials in this that react with alkaline activators to create an Al-O-Si-O gel that has a comparable bonding strength to C-S-H gel. Because geopolymer concrete is already somewhat brittle, increasing its flexural and tensile strength is necessary. There are fibres included. In this study, the mechanical properties of geopolymer [M50] concrete with steel fibres were examined by curing it in an ambient condition.
Religion and Death Among the Bukusu During the Precolonial Period
Authors: Mayende Godfrey Banda , Chacha Dr. Babere Kerata , Waweru Dr. Peter
Published: November 2022

Death and dying is a very interesting topic to study. It has however attracted very little historical, socio- cultural and anthropological interrogations. Among the pristine Bukusu people of Western Kenya, death was accorded numerous socio-cultural rituals that constituted coded meanings which may have only been understood in the realms of religion. This paper thus attempted an examination on how traditional religion was a key determinant in conducting death rituals in the precolonial setup of the Bukusu community that was devoid foreign cultural influence. The findings in this paper were however extracted from a Doctor of Philosophy Degree (History) thesis which will be submitted to Graduate School of Laikipia University by February 2023. The broader objective of the thesis has interrogated mortuary and funerary rituals of the Babukusu of Kenya from 1895 to 2010. Being a historical research, relevant information in the study was collected in the field through extensive Oral Interviews (abbreviated as O.I in the footnotes) which was corroborated with other secondary sources to ascertain the relevance of the information.

Authors: Sen Susmita , Saha Sumit , Chaki Sudipta , Saha Payel , Dutta Pijush
Published: November 2022

In general, weather forecasting is done with the use of enormously complicated physical science models that use a variety of environmental circumstances over a long period of time. Because of the annoyances of the climatic framework, these criteria are frequently fragile, causing the models to produce inaccurate forecasts. The models are mostly run on multiple hubs in a massive High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment that uses a lot of energy. In this research, we offer a climate expectation approach that uses historical data from various climate stations to create basic AI models that may provide meaningful forecasts for specific climatic conditions in the not-too-distant future within a given time frame. In this paper, we offer a climate expectation approach that uses historical data from several climate stations to create basic AI models that can anticipate certain climatic conditions in the not-too-distant future within a given time frame. Overall research performed into two stages; in first stage Principle component Analysis has been used to extract the irrelevant attributes from the datasets. In second stage five different machines learning algorithm used to predict temperature condition for midterm span & finally four performance indicators along with training time used to identify the best fitted model. From the result analysis it is seen that PCA based AdaBoost model is the fittest model with acquired the best outcome of R2, RMSE, MAE & MSE are 0.992, 0.539, 0.398 & 0.209 respectively. Beside of this present model also outperformed than the other state of art model proposed for midterm weather forecasting purpose.

Целью данной статьи является изучение комплекса мер, проводимых имперскими властями и направленных на обводнение калмыцких земель во второй половине XIX – начале XX в. Мероприятия властей, направленные на обводнение степи, имели изыскательный характер, продиктованный экономической необходимостью не только на мезо-, но и на макроуровне, что позволяет свидетельствовать о целенаправленной политике по искусственному орошению безводных земель. Однако все эти мероприятия требовали значительных финансовых затрат, производившихся за счет калмыцкого населения, результаты которых не всегда соответствовали принципам целесообразного и рационального ведения хозяйства.

A magyar-csehszlovák kereskedelmi tárgyalások az 1920-as években
Authors: Gyúrósi Pál
Published: November 2022

A kutatás alapötletét az adta, hogy a két háború közötti időszak magyar-csehszlovák kétoldalú kapcsolatok nincsenek kellőképpen feltérképezve. A magyar történetírás a multilaterális szintre, elsősorban a Kisantantra koncentrált, a cseh(szlovák) történeti kutatás pedig a korabeli magyar politikát kívánja bemutatni és megértetni, miközben a kétoldalú kereskedelmi kapcsolatok fontosságát is hangsúlyozza. A korabeli kapcsolatkeresés azonban nem volt véletlen: az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia egységes piaca után az új államok aránytalan gazdasági struktúrával rendelkeztek, amelyekben olyan alapvető termékek is hiányoztak, mint a szén vagy a liszt. Kutatásom középpontjában az a kérdés áll, hogy a két, számos konfliktus által elválasztott ország között mennyiben volt lehetséges egy normális politikai és gazdasági kapcsolat kialakítása. A korszakban két magas szintű politikai találkozó volt, mindkettőre 1921-ben került sor. Bár a két ország vezetése ezt követően kerülte ezeket, az 1921-ben felállított négy bizottság (jogi-politikai, pénzügyi, gazdasági, közlekedési) időről időre megvitatta a két ország közötti legégetőbb kérdéseket az 1920-as években. A gazdasági és kereskedelmi érdekek által inspirált tárgyalások 1927-ben látszólag eredményre vezettek, amikor hatályba lépett a két ország között a kereskedelmi szerződés. Összességében azonban ez sem normalizálta a két-oldalú kapcsolatokat, miközben a nagy gazdasági világválság olyan folyamatokat indított el, amelyek a kétoldalú gazdasági közeledés kiváltó okait is megszüntették.
Az ukrán-orosz háború jemeni következményei
Authors: Prantner Zoltán , Abdel-Ati Al-Naggar Abdallah
Published: November 2022

Az orosz–ukrán háború következményeként kialakult élelmezés-biztonsági válság az észak-afrikai és közel-keleti régión belül a polgár-háborúval sújtott Jement érintette a legsúlyosabban. Az arab állam lakossága már 2015. előtt is szenvedett az elégtelen alapszolgáltatások és a korlátozott megélhetőségi lehetőség miatt. A szűkös életkörülmények és a gazdasági feltételek később kimondottan kritikussá váltak és a harcok intenzitásának növekedésével a kialakult humanitárius válság elmélyült az országban. Több millió civil lakos – azon belül is főleg nők és gyermekek – vált belső menekültté a fegyveres összecsapások következtében, akiknek a megélhetését különösen súlyosan érinti az orosz–ukrán háború miatt kialakult élelmiszer-biztonsági válság. Az ország gabonaellátásban beállt zavarok miatt ugyanis az elérhető készletek ára pedig olyan jelentősen megemelkedett, amit számtalan jemeni család – kiváltképpen az áttelepültek – már nem tud meg-fizetni. Nem túlzás azt állítani, hogy a jelenlegi körülmények között az élelmezési válság elhúzódása és a humanitárius segélyezése lehetséges leállítása milliók túlélését sodorná veszélybe. Emellett a növekvő éhínség veszélybe sodorná a jelenlegi törékeny fegyverszünetet és az élelmezési, gazda-sági és biztonsági feltételek megoldásának elmaradása könnyen tömeges népi tiltakozásokba, ún. „éhséglázadásokba” torkolhat. Utóbbi a feszültség és a belpolitikai instabilitás növekedése mellett lehetőséget biztosíthat a térségben működő, az utóbbi években/hónapokban tekintélyesen meggyengült vallási szélsőségeseknek is erejük és befolyásuk növelésére.

Published: November 2022

Through the nexus of event attendance motives, event experience, eventscape, and the Uses and Gratifications Theory to inform the conceptual framework of this study, this article sheds light on the motives and experience in attending virtual and physical music events. It adopts a qualitative
case study approach to explore the motives and experiences of virtual events based on 55 interviews with people who attended both types of concerts. This research contributes to the literature in music event motivation by connecting the motives and outcomes of attending virtual and physical
music concerts, which are similar but manifested differently. Participants of virtual concerts were able to interact with others and enjoy the event atmosphere. The convenience element of eventscape plays an important role in participants' experience, specifically on cost and accessibility.
Technology also plays a pivotal role in inducing positive emotions and reaffirming fan identity. Practical implications for staging virtual events are discussed.

We have used the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to obtain the first spatially resolved, mid-infrared images of IIZw096, a merging luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) at z = 0.036. Previous observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope suggested that the vast majority of the total IR luminosity (L
IR) of the system originated from a small region outside of the two merging nuclei. New observations with JWST/MIRI now allow an accurate measurement of the location and luminosity density of the source that is responsible for the bulk of the IR emission. We estimate that 40%–70% of the IR bolometric luminosity, or 3–5 × 1011
L
⊙, arises from a source no larger than 175 pc in radius, suggesting a luminosity density of at least 3–5 × 1012
L
⊙ kpc−2. In addition, we detect 11 other star-forming sources, five of which were previously unknown. The MIRI F1500W/F560W colors of most of these sources, including the source responsible for the bulk of the far-IR emission, are much redder than the nuclei of local LIRGs. These observations reveal the power of JWST to disentangle the complex regions at the hearts of merging, dusty galaxies.

Published: November 2022

OBJECTIVE. The aim of our open, anecdotical, retrospective, spontaneous trial has been to evaluate the efficacy of the association between high concentration oxygen and hyaluronic acid for treatment of relapsing candidiasis.METHODS. 45 women (30.9 ±4.4 years) with relapsing candidiasis, and complaining of dryness, dyspareunia, pain, appealing to our Second Opinion Medical Consultation Network, signed an informed consent form and were treated with oxygen/hyaluronic acid therapy treatment, once a week, for a total of five weeks at the outpatient clinic (Healthy Center, Sirio, Fidenza, Italy). The physicians of the Second Opinion Network followed up weekly from remote (WhatsApp, Skype) each treated patient as to state the effectiveness, tolerability, and side effects of the treatment.RESULTS. The mean VAS and VuAS scores measured at first visit were 2,660 and 2,622 and significantly (p<0,0001) reduced to 1,311 and 0,77 at last visit. The measurements of the vaginal pH and of the vaginal swab after the last treatment session confirmed significantly (p<0.0001) the absence of candidiasis. Three months later in the follow-up, the percentage of patients who had had only one VVC relapse was 4,44% (2/45), a percentage that increased just to 8,8% at six months (4/45). The elastography index was significantly (p<0.0001) increased after the last treatment session (2,55 ± 0,545 vs 4,48 ± 0,505).CONCLUSIONS. The combined oxygen therapy with hyaluronic acid gave definite therapeutic benefits in this cohort of relapsing candidiasis in the acute phase of the infection. The 6-month follow up, also detected a lower reinfection rate compared with the historical available data. The procedure is totally painless with excellent compliance by patients and no untoward effects.
The Relationship between Diastolic Blood Pressure and the Event of the First Ischemic Stroke in Hypertension Patients
Authors: Surbakti Epa Danisa , Rambe Aldy S. , Pujiastuti R.A. Dwi
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: Stroke has been the second leading cause of death and the third cause of disability worldwide. A record of hypertension and an increase in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) after the first stroke were associated with an increased risk of a second stroke. DBP has historically been considered as the leading cause of cardiac arrest in adults with hypertension. In the previous studies, it was found a relationship between DBP with stroke and functional outcomes.

AIM: This research was carried out to determine the relationship between DBP and the event of ischemic stroke for the 1st time in hypertension patients.

METHODS: This research is a case–control that was selected using a consecutive sampling technique, where 47 hypertensive patients with ischemic stroke as the case group were matched with 47 hypertensive patients without stroke as the control group. The research was conducted at H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan and a network hospital.

RESULTS: In this research, most samples in the case and control groups were men with 30 subjects (63.8%) with a mean age value of 58.11 ± 10.85 years. At TDD ≥90 mmHg, 34 subjects (72.3%) had ischemic stroke and 21 subjects (44.7%) did not. At TDD <90 mmHg, the percentage of ischemic stroke was 13 subjects (27.7%) and 26 subjects (55.3%) were non-ischemic stroke with p = 0.006, OR = 3.02.

CONCLUSION: There is a significantly close relationship between diastolic blood pressure and the event of ischemic stroke.
La déontologie médicale à l’épreuve du contrôle sanitaire
Authors: Veisse Arnaud
Published: November 2022

Les médecins ont été très tôt associés au contrôle sanitaire des immigrés, instauré dans une perspective hygiéniste. Aujourd’hui, c’est aux médecins de l’Office français de l’immigration et de l’intégration (Ofii) que revient la mission d’évaluer les critères médicaux sur la base desquels une protection sera ou non accordée aux étrangers malades. Dès lors qu’ils sont ainsi associés à la gestion de l’immigration, la question de leur indépendance et de la compatibilité de leur mission avec les règles déontologiques qui régissent la profession médicale se pose de façon particulièrement aiguë.
Authority decentralization and air pollution reduction: Evidence from China
Authors: Huang Rui , Xiao Hao , Pan Guoqin
Published: November 2022

Whether authority decentralization can strengthen the effort of local governments to reduce environmental pollution is theoretically and practically important. Based on a reform of delegating power of organizing marathon games from central to local governments in China, this paper finds that air quality during the days of marathon games improves significantly after decentralization. Such results pass a series of robustness checks. Moreover, we find that the improvement of air quality during marathon games after authority decentralization have close relationship with official promotion incentives, local political cycles and the career concerns of prefectural secretaries and mayors.
Local Calderón-Zygmund estimates for parabolic equations in weighted Lebesgue spaces
Authors: Lee Mikyoung , Ok Jihoon
Published: November 2022

We prove local Calderón-Zygmund type estimates for the gradient of weak solutions to degenerate or singular parabolic equations of $ p $-Laplacian type with $ p > \frac{2n}{n+2} $ in weighted Lebesgue spaces $ L^q_w $. We introduce a new condition on the weight $ w $ which depends on the intrinsic geometry concerned with the parabolic $ p $-Laplace problems. Our condition is weaker than the one in [13], where similar estimates were obtained. In particular, in the case $ p = 2 $, it is the same as the condition of the usual parabolic $ A_q $ weight.
Potential estimates for fully nonlinear elliptic equations with bounded ingredients
Authors: Pimentel Edgard A. , Walker Miguel
Published: November 2022

We examine $ L^p $-viscosity solutions to fully nonlinear elliptic equations with bounded-measurable ingredients. By considering $ p_0 < p < d $, we focus on gradient-regularity estimates stemming from nonlinear potentials. We find conditions for local Lipschitz-continuity of the solutions and continuity of the gradient. We survey recent breakthroughs in regularity theory arising from (nonlinear) potential estimates. Our findings follow from – and are inspired by – fundamental facts in the theory of $ L^p $-viscosity solutions, and results in the work of Panagiota Daskalopoulos, Tuomo Kuusi and Giuseppe Mingione [10].
Inteligencia artificial sostenible y evaluación ética constructiva
Authors: Terrones Rodríguez Antonio Luis
Published: November 2022

El aumento considerable de la capacidad de la inteligencia artificial (IA) implica un alto consumo de recursos energéticos. La situación ambiental actual, caracterizada por la acuciante degradación de ecosistemas y la ruptura del equilibrio, exige tomar medidas en diversos ámbitos. La IA no puede quedar al margen, y aunque es empleada para objetivos de sostenibilidad, debe plantearse como sostenible en términos integrales. La propuesta de una inteligencia artificial sostenible se argumenta a partir de una evaluación ética constructiva, donde la inclusión y la participación de los grupos de interés representan dos elementos fundamentales.
J’accuse…! Algunas consideraciones acerca del compromiso nacionalsocialista de Carl Schmitt
Authors: Dolfo Augusto
Published: November 2022

Pese a los enormes esfuerzos que han hecho renombrados filósofos políticos e historiadores intelectuales por estigmatizar el estudio de la obra de Carl Schmitt, el interés por el razonamiento político-jurídico schmittiano ha logrado resistir a un punto tal que, hoy en día, cualquier interesado por la filosofía política o jurídica difícilmente pueda resistir la tentación o la necesidad de explorar la obra y el pensamiento schmittiano. Frente a este panorama, en esta ocasión me gustaría ofrecer algunas razones para sostener que la célebre y breve implicación política de Schmitt con el nacionalsocialismo (1933-1936), desde cierto punto de vista, debería quedar al margen o, en el mejor de los casos, considerarse una cuestión incidental para aquellos que se sientan interesados por el razonamiento político o jurídico schmittiano en stricto sensu. A tal efecto, luego de llevar adelante unas breves consideraciones sobre la trayectoria de la reputación de Carl Schmitt, quisiera ofrecer cuatro ejemplos que ilustran algunas buenas razones para creer que la teoría política y jurídica de Schmitt corre por un carril paralelo a las consideraciones biográficas y, por lo tanto, quisiera tratar de contrarrestar la idea según la cual existe una conexión directa o necesaria entre sus desacertados compromisos políticos y el valor que, eventualmente, puede llegar a tener su razonamiento político y jurídico.
La filosofía y la actualidad de la revolución. Indagaciones alrededor del «ethos barroco» en Bolívar Echeverría
Authors: García Ferrer Borja
Published: November 2022

La pregunta por el sentido de la filosofía ha sido un denominador común desde sus inicios, cobrando una fuerza inusitada con la expansión omnímoda del capitalismo en el «mundo de la vida», hasta el punto de «naturalizarse» como el único mundo posible. Reducida a la mera función de legitimar el imperativo de la equivalencia/acumulación, se impone la necesidad de elevar la filosofía a la altura del acontecimiento, en el afán por vislumbrar e implementar modos de vida alternativos a la dictadura del capitalismo absoluto. En este contexto, exploramos el potencial emancipatorio del «ethos barroco» en el pensamiento de Bolívar Echeverría, con el objeto de mostrar, desde esta perspectiva, las condiciones y los límites actuales para transcender lo que denominamos «capitalismo neobarroco», implantando en su lugar una suerte inaudita de «neobarroco postcapitalista».

Especialmente enviado para Útimos Avances, desde Venezuela, tenemos el gusto de presentar el trabajo del Sr. Capella Canals, en el que se muestra el diseño de un aparato sencillo para medidas de permeabilidad en polvo de cemento, es decir, para determinaciones de superficie específica. Dada la dificultad de lograr en estos momentos aparatos comerciales de tipo Blaine o fluorómetros, creemos ha de ser' de gran interés para nuestros cementeros el presente artículo.
Agradecemos al Sr. Capalla su deferencia por su trabajo original y es de desear podamos contar en el futuro, entre nuestros colaboradores, (N. de la R.)
How the work of respiratory physiotherapists changes the tracheostomy management and decannulation in a NICU department: an Italian experience
Authors: Papi Davide , Montigiani Giulia , Bucciardini Luca
Published: November 2022

Tracheotomy is a clinical procedure that is often necessary though not without complications, hence the need for appropriate and timely decannulation. The inclusion of trained respiratory physiotherapists (RPT) in the staff and the use of shared protocols could help the team to manage the patient with tracheotomy cannula. The objective of this study was to describe the difference in the rate of decannulation and clinical outcomes of tracheostomized patients admitted to a NeuroIntensive Care Unit (NICU) team after the inclusion of a group of physiotherapists specialized in respiratory physiotherapy and a new phoniatric protocol. It is a 6-year retrospective study, in which two periods of 3 years each were compared: in the first period (P1: September 2013-August 2016) physiotherapists were called to treat NICU patients on a consultative basis (2 hours/day for 5 days a week); in the second period (P2: September 2016-August 2019) two full-time respiratory physiotherapists were present on the ward (7 hours/day, 6/7 days/week). In P2 period, a decannulation protocol was used. Patients who had undergone a tracheotomy procedure and who were alive at the time of discharge were retrospectively evaluated. We described the number of decannulations, the length of stay in NICU and decannulation time; the diagnosis of decannulated patients and the number of deaths. 928 total patients were analysed: 468 in P1, 460 in P2. Total length of stay or number of deaths did not change significantly between the two periods, while the number of decannulated patients before the discharge was higher in P2 143 (64%), compared with P1 79 (36%) p<0.001. More patients with neurological pathologies involving possible swallowing disorders, such as cerebral haemorrhage, head trauma and stroke, have been successfully decannulated in P2 than in P1 (120 patients in P2 vs 54 in P1). A multidisciplinary approach, including respiratory physiotherapist, dedicated to tracheostomy management, decannulation and early mobilization in NICU is safe, feasible and seems to improve the number of severe patients decannulated, even if no change was observed in NICU length of stay or deaths. Further studies must confirm our results in other ICU settings.

The 5 x 5 plan for asthma control: the green route to asthma control
Authors: Green Robin
Published: November 2022

Apart from medication to control asthmatic inflammation, the education of patients and parents is the most important therapeutic step in achieving asthma control and normal life. This is a critical, but sadly often neglected, activity. It can be stated with certainty that an asthmatic who does not know the information outlined in this paper will never be free of asthma symptoms. Education is important at every visit, and is not time consuming or difficult to perform. This plan is easy to remember and use.
Acne
Authors: Lambert Lynn
Published: November 2022

Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition with a high prevalence in teenagers and young adults. It is a condition of the piloseba- ceous follicles, resulting in comedones, papules, pustules or nodules which occur primarily on the face, but which may also present on other areas of the body. Although acne is not physically disabling, its psychological impact is highly significant, contributing to low self-esteem, depression and anxiety. As a result, there is a significant demand for effective acne therapies.
