Trauma-Informed Approaches and Community Engagement: Community Engaged Research (CEnR) and Programming for Public Health and Health Inequities
Authors: Johnson-Lawrence Vicki , Sneed Rodlescia , Dotson Kenyetta , Njoroge Margaret , Pugh Pamela
Published: March 2024

In communities heavily affected by trauma, trauma-informed approaches (TIAs) are essential to minimize unintended consequences and harm associated with receiving clinical, social, and other support services. The visibility of traumatic events continues to increase. In turn, public health teams must build capacity and integrate TIAs into public health research and practice, particularly for communities managing multiple health inequities. Community-engaged approaches have become increasingly common in public health to address health inequity. Community-engaged research (CEnR) is a TIA that public health researchers use to serve traumatized individuals and communities meaningfully and respectfully. CEnR is often intended to address health disparities and inequities, and public health program developers can use similar engagement strategies. Community-engaged public health teams usually include partners from community, research, and other professions, and they often work in minoritized and vulnerable communities. In CEnR and program design, the team can use the principles of TIAs to guide the development and decision-making processes; they can also use feedback during the process to enhance the community benefit of the research and programs being offered. The team can benefit from training to understand and use TIAs to support their work. Finally, community-engaged public health teams can enhance CEnR by building upon the scientific literature about TIAs to extract strategies and practices to extend their impacts on the people they serve and their own organizations.

Published: March 2024

As infecções respiratórias são as doenças de maior frequência em crianças. Representam um grande problema de saúde pública, uma vez que são as causas mais comuns de abstinência ao trabalho, escolas e creches. Os fatores ambientais que elevam as chances de um indivíduo adquirir infecções respiratórias incluem a permanência em creches, tabagismo, exposição passiva à fumaça do cigarro, baixo nível socioeconômico, condições aglomeradas e até mesmo estresse psicológico.
Portanto, as doenças respiratórias representam um campo de estudos para os pesquisadores, dada sua elevada morbidade em todo o mundo e elevada taxa de mortalidade em países em desenvolvimento. O trabalho teve como objetivo promover ações educativas relacionadas à prevenção de doenças respiratórias. Para isso foi realizado um encontro informal com pais ou responsáveis pelas crianças matriculadas no Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil localizado na cidade de Rio Verde – GO com a finalidade de orientá-los sobre os agentes benéficos e prejudiciais para a prevenção de patologias respiratórias; abordando o tema por meio de dinâmicas, atividade prática de higienização das mãos e apresentação de um vídeo educativo sobre a transmissão de doenças. A participação dos pais ou responsáveis foi de extrema importância para a conclusão do projeto. As atividades realizadas durante o encontro sensibilizaram a comunidade alvo sobre a implementação de medidas simples para prevenção de doenças respiratórias bem como adoção de medidas para melhorias da qualidade de vida proporcionando assim educação em saúde.

Doenças reumatológicas causam inflamação local ou sistêmica, desencadeando respostas imunológicas. Biomarcadores como proteínas séricas revelam mecanismos e monitoram terapias através de análises clínicas e dados laboratoriais. Mucopolissacaridoses são distúrbios lisossomais resultantes da deficiência de enzimas que degradam sulfatos, afetando principalmente hidrolases ácidas. A osteopetrose, também conhecida como doença óssea marmórea ou doença de Albers-Schönberg, é um grupo raro de doenças genéticas que resultam em redução da absorção óssea e esclerose esquelética simétrica. Isso ocorre devido a alterações nos osteoclastos, levando a ossos com aparência pedregosa, embora sejam frágeis e suscetíveis a fraturas. Existem variantes recessivas e dominantes, cada uma com diferentes graus de gravidade, classificadas com base na herança genética e nos sintomas clínicos. A osteoporose é marcada por ossos porosos e massa óssea reduzida, aumentando a vulnerabilidade a fraturas. Pode afetar um osso ou o esqueleto inteiro, resultando de desuso ou doenças metabólicas.

sabor único e propriedades nutricionais. No entanto, a produção e processamento geram subprodutos, como cascas, sementes e bagaços, que, muitas vezes, são descartados. Esses resíduos possuem potencial nutricional e bioativo significativo, mas seu aproveitamento ainda é subexplorado. A disposição inadequada desses resíduos pode causar impactos ambientais negativos. A deposição em aterros sanitários, embora comum, apresenta riscos de poluição. Portanto, a busca por alternativas sustentáveis e tecnologias de valorização é essencial para evitar desperdícios e promover a gestão eficiente desses subprodutos. Diante disso, o estudo apresenta uma breve contextualização do potencial desses resíduos, considerando benefícios econômicos, ambientais e sociais. Os subprodutos da jabuticaba são ricos em compostos fenólicos, fibras e antioxidantes. Esses resíduos podem ser aproveitados na produção de alimentos funcionais, cosméticos e farmacêuticos. A casca da jabuticaba, em particular, destaca-se pela alta concentração de compostos fenólicos, podendo substituir corantes artificiais em alimentos. O estudo demonstra a importância de uma gestão eficiente desses resíduos para contribuir para o desenvolvimento sustentável, gerando renda e empregos em comunidades produtoras.

Published: March 2024

Sulfur is one of the export cargoes and occupies a significant share in the volume of water transport. The article analyzes the route from a sulfur production plant in the Astrakhan region to the seaport of Kavkaz, which involves motor transport, the specialized river port of Buzan, river fleet, a road transshipment complex in the seaport of Kavkaz, and sea vessels. It has been established that when transporting sulfur by water, mainly self-propelled fleets are used. The elements of the circular voyage of river ships, the technology and performance indicators of the ports were studied, the statistics of the supply of sea vessels to the port of Kavkaz for sulfur transshipment, the productivity of the fleet taking into account the actual duration of the circular voyage were analyzed. An option has been proposed for transporting sulfur on the analyzed route using pushed trains, which will allow, with an optimal ratio of the number of barges and pushers, to reduce energy costs with corresponding fuel savings and the number of crew.

Published: March 2024

The agricultural sector is projected to need more labor as a result of declining interest in careers within this domain. Despite the escalating demand for agricultural goods, previous endeavors to mitigate this challenge through the deployment of robotic prototypes have encountered hindrances such as issues pertaining to automation, adaptability to varying tasks, and the financial burdens associated with development. To address this exigency, we have developed an automated cultivation robot utilizing advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT), Image Processing, and artificial Intelligence (AI) for seeding in pots. The robot demonstrates the capacity to sow seeds in 257 pots per hour, accomplish a mission within 12.53 minutes, traverse at a velocity of 360 meters per hour, and seed pots at a rate of 13.37 seconds per pot. It possesses an operational duration of approximately two hours, completing nine cycles and seeding 486 pots on a single charge. Notably, the robot exhibits a mission success rate of 1.00 and a seeding accuracy 0.78. Moreover, it features an adaptable workspace and a lightweight frame weighing 20 kg, rendering it a cost-effective solution for mass production.

Published: March 2024

The disintegration of the periodontal ligament, the root cementum and the alveolar bone is the result of periodontal disease, which is caused by bacteria found in dental plaque. The ultimate objective of periodontal therapy is the regeneration of the attachment apparatus. Numerous growth and differentiation variables in periodontal regeneration have been evaluated. The primary regulators of these biological processes are a class of naturally occurring chemicals known as polypeptide growth factors in combination with certain matrix proteins. Four main growth factors that seem to have a considerable impact on the process of wound healing will be covered in this review article. Bone morphogenetic proteins, fibroblast growth factors, transforming growth factor, and platelet-derived growth factor.

Published: March 2024

Background and Objective: Foot drop is a common complication of a stroke which can impede participation in rehabilitation and has been associated with poor outcomes. Gyroscope based functional electrical stimulation is one of the adjunct treatments of choice. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of Gyroscope based FES versus Ankle foot orthosis with Electrical stimulation for improving muscle performance and gait in post stroke subjects.  Methods: Quasi experimental study design. 112 subjects with mean age of 58 years having a clinical diagnosis of stroke were allocated into two groups by using convenience sampling method. In Group A (n=56) were treated with Gyroscope based Functional Electrical Stimulation along with Standard rehabilitation program, whereas in Group B (n=56) subjects were treated by Ankle foot orthosis with Electrical Stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program. Participants were given intervention for five times a week for 6 weeks. The universal goniometer, pheezee and Tug were used to assess the intervention effectiveness.  Results: Independent ‘‘t’’ test was used to compare the mean significance difference between continuous variables. Paired ‘‘t’’ test was used to assess the statistical significance difference between pre and post test scores. Statistical analysis of this data revealed that both groups showed significant improvement in parameters when compared within groups, where as in between groups comparison Gyroscope based functional electrical stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program showed better improvement compared to Ankle foot orthosis with Electrical stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program.  Conclusion: In six weeks of intervention, both groups were shown statistically significant improvement in post-test values. However Gyroscope based functional electrical stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program was more effective when compared to Ankle foot orthosis with Electrical stimulation along with standard rehabilitation program. Hence treatment intervention may be incorporated in management of post stroke.

We present photometric and spectroscopic data for SN 2022joj, a nearby peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) with a fast decline rate (Δm
15,B = 1.4 mag). SN 2022joj shows exceedingly red colors, with a value of approximately B − V ≈ 1.1 mag during its initial stages, beginning from 11 days before maximum brightness. As it evolves, the flux shifts toward the blue end of the spectrum, approaching B − V ≈ 0 mag around maximum light. Furthermore, at maximum light and beyond, the photometry is consistent with that of typical SNe Ia. This unusual behavior extends to its spectral characteristics, which initially displayed a red spectrum and later evolved to exhibit greater consistency with typical SNe Ia. Spectroscopically, we find strong agreement between SN 2022joj and double detonation models with white dwarf masses of around 1 M
⊙ and a thin He shell between 0.01 and 0.05 M
⊙. Moreover, the early red colors are explained by line-blanketing absorption from iron peak elements created by the double detonation scenario in similar mass ranges. The nebular spectra in SN 2022joj deviate from expectations for double detonation, as we observe strong [Fe iii] emission instead of [Ca ii] lines as anticipated, though this is not as robust a prediction as early red colors and spectra. The fact that as He shells get thinner these SNe start to look more like normal SNe Ia raises the possibility that this is the triggering mechanism for the majority of SNe Ia, though evidence would be missed if the SNe are not observed early enough.

We present a comprehensive multiwavelength spectral analysis of the black hole (BH) X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during its 2018 outburst, utilizing AstroSat far-UV, soft X-ray, and hard X-ray data, along with (quasi-)simultaneous optical and X-ray data from the Las Cumbres Observatory and NICER, respectively. In the soft state, we detect soft X-ray and UV/optical excess components over and above the intrinsic accretion disk emission (kT
in ∼ 0.58 keV) and a steep X-ray power-law component. The soft X-ray excess is consistent with a high-temperature blackbody (kT ∼ 0.79 keV), while the UV/optical excess is described by UV emission lines and two low-temperature blackbody components (kT ∼ 3.87 and ∼0.75 eV). Employing continuum spectral fitting, we determine the BH spin parameter (a = 0.77 ± 0.21), using the jet inclination angle of 64° ± 5° and a mass spanning 5–10 M
☉. In the hard state (HS), we observe a significantly enhanced optical/UV excess component, indicating a stronger reprocessed emission in the outer disk. Broadband X-ray spectroscopy in the HS reveals a two-component corona, each associated with its reflection component, in addition to the disk emission (kT
in ∼ 0.19 keV). The softer coronal component dominates the bolometric X-ray luminosity and produces broader relativistic reflection features, while the harder component gets reflected far from the inner disk, yielding narrow reflection features. Furthermore, our analysis in the HS suggests a substantial truncation of the inner disk (≳51 gravitational radii) and a high disk density (∼1020 cm−3).
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) practices and firms' financial performance: Moderating role of country governance

Published: March 2024

It is becoming increasingly apparent that businesses must consider the impact they have on the environment and society while pursuing profit maximization. As a result, there is a growing need to incorporate sustainable frameworks into business decision-making. By focusing on sustainable performance at the firm level, we addressed a significant gap in understanding how environmental and social Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) impact bottom-line performance and the crucial role that effective country governance plays in implementing sustainability at the organization level. In 2015, the United Nations established Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), where firms are encouraged to practice in the strategic operation of their businesses. In addition, country governance can play a significant role in adopting sustainable practices and policies that can impact bottom-line performance. In this study, we examined the relationship between environmental and social Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) practices, country governance, and firms' financial performance from 2017 to 2021. The sample data set consisted of top-listed firms in the finance, manufacturing, and technology industries of 100 companies from 17 countries in developed and developing and emerging economies. We utilized content analysis to account for the qualitative aspects of how firms implement social and environmental SDGs. Ten environmental SDGs and eight social SDGs were incorporated in this study as a means of measuring sustainable development goals' impact on a firm's financial performance. We adopted return on assets (ROA) to measure the firm's financial performance. We adopted government effectiveness and regulatory quality to moderate the relationship between social and environmental sustainability practices and firm performance. The panel regression method was exercised to find out the relationship between environmental and social SDGs' impact on financial performance. In addition, we measured the interaction effect between environmental and social SDGs and country governance on firms' performance. We also deployed two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression estimation to mitigate endogeneity concerns. We found that environmental SDGs had a positive and significant impact on firms' financial performance. The coefficient of social SDGs on firm performance was negative and statistically significant. We observed that the coefficient of interaction terms between environmental SDGs and country governance was positive and statistically significant. Moreover, the coefficient interaction terms between social SDGs and country governance were positive and statistically significant, lessening the negative impact of social SDGs on firm financial performance. Finally, we also performed a robustness test on our analysis based on the firm's average capital and average assets. The findings almost held the same.

Published: March 2024

Flood mapping is an essential component of planning flood mitigation. The availability of remote sensing data makes rapid flood mapping possible. This article develops an accurate method for rapid flood mapping using satellite imagery. Sentinel-2 imagery was tested by acquiring data before and after a flood event in a lowland area. Flooding extraction was performed using the newly developed Flood Inundation Extraction Index (FIEI) and compared to the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), the most commonly used index. Based on the choice of threshold, the results are divided into flooded and non-flooded areas. Evaluation of the performance accuracy based on the total and kappa coefficients showed that the FIEI approach is more accurate than the MNDWI approach.
Michel Foucault et le christianisme
Authors: Chevallier Philippe
Published: March 2024

Des rites antiques à la confession moderne, le christianisme fut pour Foucault une interrogation constante, aiguillée par notre actualité : quel destin cette religion a-t-elle eu dans nos vies, dans la manière de nous conduire, de connaître notre désir, de chercher notre salut ? Ce livre propose la première synthèse de l’ensemble des lectures chrétiennes de Foucault, d’Histoire de la folie au grand livre posthume Les aveux de la chair, enrichie par la consultation de ses archives. Écartant les conclusions hâtives, ce parcours épouse la logique d’un travail que Foucault voulut autant historique que philosophique : une certaine manière de lire les textes anciens et d’inciser notre passé. Loin des lieux communs d’un christianisme ascétique et intransigeant, Foucault définit l’originalité chrétienne comme la reconnaissance d’un rapport précaire à la vérité.Initialement publié en 2011, cet ouvrage pionnier bénéficie d’une mise à jour intégrale, qui tient compte des découvertes les plus récentes que permet l’archive.« Cette enquête remarquable nous offre l’aperçu le plus complet et le mieux informé d’un nouveau terrain de recherche. Toute personne intéressée par l’œuvre de Foucault doit le lire. » (Colin Gordon, Foucault News)
La controverse à la portée de tous ?
Authors: Léonard Julien
Published: March 2024

La controverse entre catholiques et réformés en France sous le régime de l’édit de Nantes (1598-1685) est bien connue, mais partiellement connue. En effet, à côté d’affrontements célèbres, étudiés par les chercheurs et parfaitement documentés par les archives et des publications, mettant en scène des théologiens prestigieux dans les deux camps, d’autres disputes sont restées plus confidentielles, alors même que leur importance, littéraire ou sociale, a pu être déterminante pour un grand nombre de fidèles. Il s’agit de controverses « vulgarisées », mais parfois d’un faible niveau intellectuel, précisément pour se mettre à la portée du plus grand nombre, et avec une intense réflexion méthodologique sur la meilleure façon de vaincre l’adversaire et de permettre à tout le monde de comprendre cette victoire. Ces controverses-là sont restées relativement marginales, et il s’agira donc, ici, de lancer des pistes de recherche dans ce dossier, dont le but est ainsi de porter pour une fois l’attention sur les formes sociales et littéraires que peut prendre une controverse souvent méprisée, car pas assez prestigieuse (y compris pour le crédit et la réputation de leurs participants), ou alors trop locale, trop véhémente, trop sensible à l’usage de l’insulte, trop à la portée de tous (ce qui est en soi un sujet de controverse d’ailleurs). Le dossier comportera quatre articles aux problématiques littéraire, et quatre autres aux problématiques sociales, mais avec des échos et de dialogues.
Дети, спорт и советская физкультура : Идеи, реалии, планы (1920‑1930-е годы)

Published: March 2024

L’article décrit la mise en place du sport et de l’éducation physique pour les enfants en URSS. L’analyse s’appuie sur l’étude de documents d’archives, de la presse, de travaux scientifiques et méthodologiques des années 1920-1930. Elle se concentre sur les points de vue de spécialistes sur l’éducation physique et le sport chez les enfants et sur la pratique réelle de ce dernier en tant qu’activité organisée. Elle identifie un consensus d’experts sur le rôle du sport dans l’éducation physique des enfants et des adolescents. Dans les années 1920, les compétitions étaient évaluées positivement comme méthode de développement physique, mais négativement comme une fin en soi ; on accordait une plus grande attention aux enfants les moins doués. Ces idées s’inscrivaient dans la continuité du plan prérévolutionnaire de réforme de l’école secondaire et étaient proches de la tendance humaniste et « de gauche » de l’éducation physique en Occident. En 1932, la participation des enfants aux pratiques officielles d’éducation physique et de sport ne dépassait pas 3 %. Le programme pour enfants « Sois prêt pour le travail et la défense » (BGTO) reflétait la militarisation du sport inspirée de la « méthode naturelle » d’Hébert et de l’Idrottsmärke. La création des premières écoles de sport pour enfants fut un moyen de mettre en œuvre le BGTO et de poursuivre l’objectif d’un accès massif des écoliers aux infrastructures sportives. Dès 1934, les premiers signes d’une dérive « à droite » et d’une future prise en charge inhumaine de l’enfance se révèlent : les ressources commencent à se concentrer sur les enfants les plus doués.
The Intersection of Fashion and Climate: A Comparative Examination of the Australian Fashion and Textile Industry's Approach to Climate Change

Published: March 2024

This paper delves into a comparative review of the actions of the Australian fashion industry in response to climate change. The focus of this review centres around major benchmark events in the Australian landscape of policies and regulations enactment, which shape the consumption of fashion in the country. This paper compares the interconnectedness or disconnected discourse of the fashion and textile industry’s trends, in response to climate change, within the Australian context. Climate change is set to catastrophically impact global food supplies and endanger human health by inducing heat-related mortality, cardiovascular diseases and mental health issues. In the next decade, it is expected to force millions of people into extreme poverty. The severity of climate change awareness has transpired the sustainability concept into a prime prerequisite for global business models. Fashion and textile businesses are quickly adapting to lower their environmental impact. However, this industry is still considered to be the second-most polluting sector globally. It contributes to greenhouse gas emissions via raw material extraction, production, and distribution processes. In addition, synthetic textiles impact the marine biosphere by releasing microplastic fragments. At the end of the product life cycle, most textiles are discarded in irreversible landfills. Australia is the second biggest consumer of textile, clothing and footwear products. Therefore, it is critical to compare the impact of the Australian fashion and textile industry and its response to the climate crisis.
Influence of Electrolyte Concentration on the Electrochemical Behavior of Copper Hexacyanoferrate as an Active Material for Zinc-Ion Batteries
Authors: Lee Sangyup , Nogales Paul Maldonado , Jeong Soon Ki
Published: March 2024

This study investigates the impact of electrolyte concentration on the electrochemical behavior of copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF), a promising active material for aqueous zinc-ion battery electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry, charge-discharge measurements, and X-ray diffraction analysis were employed to assess the electrochemical reactions and structural integrity of the CuHCF electrode under varying electrolyte concentrations. The results revealed a significant influence of electrolyte concentration on the electrochemical performance of the CuHCF electrode. Specifically, the charge-discharge capacity exhibited an initial increase as the electrolyte concentration increased from 1.0 to 2.0 mol dm‒3, followed by a subsequent decrease. This decrease in capacity was attributed to the occurrence of an electrode/electrolyte interfacial reaction in the low-potential region of 0.0–0.3 V, coupled with structural changes in the CuHCF active material. Notably, these findings underscore the strong correlation between the electrochemical performance of the CuHCF electrode and the hydration structure of zinc ions, as well as the pH of the electrolyte solution. Thus, optimizing the electrolyte composition holds significant potential for enhancing the performance of aqueous zinc-ion batteries employing CuHCF electrodes.
Properties of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Dedicated for Casting Columns with Fractal Based Cross-Sections
Authors: Katzer Jacek , Skoratko Aneta
Published: March 2024

The conducted research program was focused on the creation steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) dedicated for casting columns with fractal based cross-sections. The columns in question were planned to be cast using 3D printed plastic formworks. Harnessing 3D printing of plastic enables easy creation of cross-sections which are not possible to be achieved using traditional formwork techniques. The mix had to be characterized by consistency enabling almost self-compacting behavior, reasonably high volume of fiber (volumes of fiber ranging from 0.5% to 2.0% were considered) and the maximum diameter of used aggregate of 2mm. Due to very complicated cross-sections of planned columns the mix had to be able to effortlessly penetrate very elaborate shapes of fractal formwork. All desired properties were achieved during the research program using two admixtures and micro steel fiber. The mix was tested using column specimens with circular, square and pentagon cross-sections.

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Additive manufacturing of concrete structures is a novel and emerging technology. Freecontouring in civil engineering, which allows for entirely new designs, is a significant advantage. Inthe future, lower construction costs are expected with increased construction speeds and decreasingrequired materials and workers. However, architects and civil engineers rely on a certain quality ofexecution to fulfil construction standards. Although several techniques and approaches demonstratethe advantages, quality control during printing is highly challenging and rarely applied. Due to thecontinuous mixing process commonly used in 3D concrete printing, it is impossible to exclude varia-tions in the dry mixture or water content, and a test sample cannot be taken as a representative samplefor the whole structure. Although mortar properties vary only locally, a defect in one layer duringprinting could affect the entire integrity of the whole structure . Therefore, real-time process monitor-ing is required to record and document the printing process.At the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) a new test rig for the additive man-ufacturing of concrete is built. The primary purpose is measuring and monitoring the properties of amortar during the printing process.The following study investigates an approach for calculating yield stress and plastic viscosity based onexperimentally recorded pressure data. The calculations assume that fresh mortar behaves as a Bing-ham fluid and that the Buckingham-Reiner-equation is applicable. A test setup consisting of rigid pipeswith integrated pressure sensors at different positions is utilized.Monitoring the printing process with different sensors is crucial for the quality control of an ongoingprocess.

Authors: Sicakova Alena , Kovac Marek
Published: March 2024

Pervious concrete is considered an advanced pavement material in terms of environmental benefits resulting from its basic feature - high water permeability. While natural aggregate is a standard component for permeable concrete production, the paper presents the potential of air-cooled blast furnace slag aggregate. The aggregate is specific for its open internal structure and at the same time high hardness and strength, which was assumed to be advantageous for this type of concrete. As permeable concrete is characterized by a specific structure and low amount of binder, it needs for optimization of kind and composition of aggregate, as well as the quantity and quality of the binder. In the experiment, following variables of composition were applied: a ratio of binder to aggregate b/a (0.28 and 0.36), a ratio of fine to coarse aggregate f/c (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3), and a set of blended cements. Experimental results point to the specific benefit of slag aggregate for permeable concrete production. The values of total porosity (30-38%) and permeability (4.6-17.5 mm/s) are higher than those recommended by most publications, as well as than those of concretes with natural aggregates. The compressive strength runs from 7.5 MPa to 15.0 MPa depending on the variables, while the effect of fine aggregate portion on both compressive strength and hydraulic conductivity is found to be much greater than that of the amount of binder. An important aspect is that, due to the nature of the aggregate, sufficient permeability is maintained even with higher proportion of fines. The range and variance values of the individual properties indicate that a change in the quality of the binder causes less variation in the results than a change in the composition of the mixtures.

The luxury fashion market is rapidly expanding worldwide, and the demand for designer pyjamas is on the rise. Pyjamas originated in South Asia as loose, lightweight trousers or two-piece suits for sleeping and lounging, and evolved into swishy palazzo-like pants and jumpsuit styles popular in Europe. Over time, pyjamas have undergone multiple functional and aesthetic changes while the luxury fashion goods purchasing power of Chinese millennials who were born in a rapidly evolving digital world has increased fast. However, limited academic research on luxury pyjamas and scarce information on this specific consumer group are available. This study examines the main aesthetic factors that influence Chinese millennial consumers' purchase intention of luxury pyjamas and specifically evaluates the importance of design elements such as artistry, colour, texture, fit, silhouette, innovation, and craftsmanship. An online survey was conducted with 124 Chinese participants via the Chinese social media platform WeChat to determine their aesthetic preferences for luxury pyjamas. The findings reveal that Chinese millennial consumers regard pyjamas as functional items and mainly wear them at home. Aesthetic considerations are the main purchase driver of sleepwear, with the visual texture of pyjamas as the most important aesthetic factor for Chinese millennial consumers, emphasizing the need for product developers to choose exquisite and appealing fabrics. Colour and artistic elements, such as colour collocation and pattern print, also have a significant impact on their purchase intention. This study provides valuable insights for luxury sleepwear developers seeking to enhance the aesthetic design aspects of their products to meet the needs and preferences of Chinese millennial luxury consumers.

In today's globalized world, rapid depletion of natural resources, increased air and water pollution, deforestation and climate change are major environmental problems for industrial activities. Many industrial activities contribute to environmental pollution by causing these problems. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop environmentally friendly production methods, reduce resource consumption and minimize environmental impacts. The yarn dyeing industry is a sector where natural resources are used intensively and environmental pollution problems are seen. Innovations in this sector aim to make production methods more sustainable. In particular, process reduction is an important step in reducing resource consumption and minimizing environmental impacts. This provides an important opportunity to conserve natural resources and produce environmentally friendly products. Therefore, with the increasing demand for ecological products, it is aimed to develop an environmentally friendly, sustainable and environmentally sensitive process in yarn dyeing. With the new process developed within the scope of the project, a dyeing study was carried out using the natural color of raw cotton yarn. The first bath pre-treatment we apply to raw cotton yarn allows us to make homogeneous dyeing. Thus, it was possible to reduce the need for some chemicals and natural resources that are harmful to nature. The new process developed within the scope of the project is gaining importance in the textile industry due to limited natural resources and increasing environmental problems. The aim of the project is to reduce the use of water, energy and chemicals by eliminating the bleaching step used in traditional yarn dyeing processes and to create an environmentally friendly product platform. In this way, with the increasing demand for ecological and sustainable products, customer expectations can be met and the company's environmental impact can be reduced. In addition, this new process, which saves energy and water, offers the opportunity to gain a competitive advantage by providing cost savings in the textile industry. Therefore, the new process developed sets an example for other businesses in the sector, benefiting both the environment and the operation of the company.
Empirical Model for Predicting Elastic Modulus of CRCA Concrete: An Approach towards Sustainable Concrete Design
Authors: Ohemeng Eric A. , Naghizadeh Abdolhossein , Ramabodu Molusiwa C.
Published: March 2024

The elastic modulus (Ec) of concrete is usually calculated from the compressive strength (fc) in the design of concrete structures using standard models found in the various design codes. Most of these models were fundamentally developed for concrete made with natural coarse aggregate (NCA). Concrete containing coarse recycled concrete aggregate (CRCA) is known to have inferior mechanical properties to concrete made with NCA. Accordingly, the Ec-fc relationship of CRCA concrete differs from that of NCA concrete. Hence, a number of researchers have endeavoured to develop predictive models for concrete made with CRCAs using different software programs. In an attempt to contribute to this subject, the present study seeks to propose a new model for predicting the Ec of CRCA concrete using an empirical approach. Data obtained from the literature was used to develop the model. Validations of the model using independent data sources gave realistic predictions. The new model can be used for practical Ec prediction, design, and analysis of sustainable concrete structures made with CRCAs.
Timely Hemodialysis for Successful Treatment of Acute Salicylate Overdose in a Young Adult Female – A Case Report
Authors: Kulkarni Amitabh , Shrivastava Pavan , Phulara Rajesh Kumar
Published: March 2024

Salicylates are often used in clinical practice as antiplatelets as well as analgesics. Its overdose is not uncommon due to its easy availability over the counter. Mortality is high in severe cases when a lethal dose is consumed. Treatment of overdose is difficult due to the non-availability of an antidote. Hemodialysis is an underutilized treatment modality in such cases. We discuss here a case of a young female who presented to us 2.5 h after the consumption of a lethal dose of salicylate with symptoms of only tinnitus. She was successfully treated with two sessions of hemodialysis. Her drug levels on admission were remarkably high, and early hemodialysis was justified in view of high-dose consumption with minimal symptoms.
