Authors: Saha Bijan Kumar , S. Zaveri Shabber
Published: October 2021

OBJECTIVE– Study of recurrence and pattern of recurrence in Stage III epithelial ovarian cancer.
METHODOLOGY – A prospective observational, study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Bangalore, India from April 2017 to April 2019.
Informed and written consent was taken before including the patient in the study. All patients diagnosed with stage III epithelial ovarian with no
residual disease following cytoreductive surgery (primary, interval and secondary) with or without Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy
(HIPEC) were included in the study. Patients were followed every 3-6 months up to maximum period of 24 months from the date of surgery. Last
date of follow up was on 30/04/19. During follow up patient symptoms, physical examination and serum CA-125 were recorded to detect
recurrence. If patient symptoms, physical examination and rising serum CA-125 are suggestive of recurrence, imaging in form of CECTabdomen/
PETCT was done for detection of recurrence. Patients were monitored for two types of recurrence. Biochemical recurrence dened as rising CA125 in absence of clinical evidence of recurrence either by physical examination or by imaging. Clinical recurrence dened as recurrence in any
part of body noted on physical examination or imaging and then proving it by biopsy with or without rise in serum CA-125.Site of rst recurrence
was recorded.
RESULTS- A total of 84 patients were included in the study. 45 patients underwent interval, 25 patients underwent primary and 14 patients
underwent secondary cytoreductive surgery. Mean duration of follow up was 18.25 months. 4 patients lost follow up. 2 patients died following
surgery. Recurrence was noted in 14 patients (16.66%). Clinical recurrence was noted in 13 patients (15.47%) and biochemical recurrence was
noted in 1 patient (1.19%). 8 patients had recurrence in peritoneal cavity (57.14%). 1 patient each had recurrence right inguinal lymph node, paraaortic lymph node+ peritoneum, left iliac lymph node, left supraclavicular lymph node and left inguinal lymph node.
CONCLUSION – In this study clinical recurrence was more common than biochemical recurrence. Peritoneal cavity was most common site for
recurrence. This study shows importance of optimal cytoreductive reductive surgery in preventing recurrence in carcinoma ovary as peritoneal
cavity is most common site of recurrence

Authors: Bansal Neelesh , Simran Simran , Jana Debarshi
Published: October 2021

INTRODUCTION Gallstones are the most common conditions encountered in surgical OPD. The prevalence rose with age, except in women of
40-49 years, so that at 60-69 years, 22.4% of women and 11.5% of men had gall stones or had undergone cholecystectomy. With the help of this
study, best treatment option for cholecystectomy patient (whether to insert drain or not), was ensured in terms of post lap cholecystectomy
collections of bile or blood, drain site pain. The study was provide knowledge whether drain insertion was benecial or harmful to patient.
MATERIALS AND METHODS This comparative study was presented to the surgery OPD and emergency department with cholelithiasis within
a period of 1 year from the approval of Research committee and Ethics Committee, Adesh institute of medical sciences and research, Bathinda. The
primary outcome variable used to calculate sample size is amount of collection on post-operative day 3(Quantitative Variable) in both groups. Total
100 patients were present in this study.
RESULT In this present study VAS median grade in patients with drain was G4 (48%), followed by G3(47%) then G2(5%). VAS median grade in
without drain group was G2 (48%), followed by G3(31%) and G1(16%).
CONCLUSION There is no signicant difference as far as post operative wound infection in laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with drain or without

CORRELATION OF PROGNOSIS OF COVID POSITIVE PATIENTS BETWEEN REAL TIME RT-PCR AND CT-VALUES OF E. GENE, N.GENE, RDRP GENE
Authors: Som Sreyoshi , Dasgupta Indraneel
Published: October 2021

INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 – Corona virus disease-19 – A respiratory illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2
(SARS-CoV-2), colloquially referred to as coronavirus. Real-time PCR is conducted to quantify the absolute amount of target sequence or to
compare relative amount of a target sequence among samples. This technique monitors amplication of the target in real time via a target specic
uorescent signal emitted during amplication. During most real times PCR, a considerable amount of background uorescence occurs. Inspite of
this fact PCR uorescent dyes and probes should be sequence specic. This CT value or cycle threshold value in a real time RT- PCR is dened as
the number of cycles required for the uorescent signal to cross the threshold i.e., exceeds background level). This is inversely proportional to the
amount of target nuclei in the sample. i.e., lower the CTlevel the greater the amount of target nuclei in the sample.
AIM: To explore the association of the mutation pattern of covid-19 genetic variation with the severity and fatality of patients with covid-19 viral
illness. Factors considered are Age, Sex, and Duration of hospital stay and outcome of patient.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was a comparative, correlation, retrospective, lab values based study. All covid+ve patients tested at
Peerless hospital, Kolkata by RT-PCR on admission. It is imperative to choose reference genes whose expression levels are not expected to change
during our experiment. Common housekeeping genes include actin, alpha-tubuliun, gapdh and ubiquitin. it is wise to use at least two reference
gene for one study may not be suitable for another. Total 370 participants were present in this study.
RESULT: In our study, 114(30.8%) COVID positive patients were in E GENE GR 11-20, 147(39.7%) COVID positive patients were in E GENE
GR 21-30 and 109(29.5%) COVID positive patients were in E GENE GR 31-40. 163(44.1%) COVID positive patients were in N GENE GR 11-20,
132(35.7%) COVID positive patients were in N GENE GR 21-30 and 75(20.3%) COVID positive patients were in N GENE GR 31-40.
228(61.6%) COVID positive patients were in RdRp GENE GR 11-20, 112(30.3%) COVID positive patients were in RdRp GENE GR 21-30 and
30(8.1%) COVID positive patients were in RdRp GENE GR 31-40.
We found that, 30(8.1%) COVID positive patients died and 340 (91.9%) patients have survived.
CONCLUSION: The patients who died had signicantly lower RT-PCR CT-values OF E. GENE, N.GENE, RdRp GENE than patients who
survived. We concluded that the time of onset of symptoms were earlier for patients with lower CTvalue, than the other group who survived.
So we concluded after correlating CT-values of real time RT-PCR and E. GENE, N.GENE, RdRp GENE, that the patients with lower CTvalues had
more severity and had poor prognosis than the other group with higher RT-PCR CT-values of E.GENE, N, GENE, RdRp GENE

Authors: Kumar Das Bidyut , Bose Arindam , Mollah Nur Nabab , Dasgupta Ankur
Published: October 2021

Paraquat (1,1-dimethyl-4, 4-bipyridylium dichloride) is an effective herbicide which is widely used all over the world and India is no exception. It
is toxic to humans due to its redox activity which produces superoxide anions. Accidental or suicidal poisoning causes ulceration over the mouth
and gastrointestinal tract and the majority of patients die of acute renal failure, hepatic failure and acute lung injury causing mainly lung brosis and
consolidation. Treatment of paraquat poisoning is extremely difcult as it does not have any specic antidote. Treatment is mainly symptomatic.
Very few patients may develop spontaneous pneumothorax, known as Daisley Barton syndrome, which further impairs survival of the patient Here
we present a patient of paraquat induced spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax who survived with conservative treatment.

Authors: Das Ashok , Chattopadhyay Suman , Karmakar Manas
Published: October 2021

INTRODUCTION Motherhood is the ultimate joy in a woman's life. Every woman craves for her own child. However, more than half a million
1 women die each year from pregnancy related causes across the globe. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals has placed maternal
health as a basic human right, one that is integral to the core of the ght against poverty and inequality. The high incidence of preeclampsia and its
complications makes its prevention and effective management important.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To study the effect of anaesthetic technique in the foetomaternal outcome in severe preeclamptic patients undergoing
caesarean section and determining any difference in the maternal and perinatal morbidity/mortality amongst those receiving either general or
regional anaesthesia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Study Area: Eden Hospital, Critical Care Unit (CCU), Special Neonatal Care Unit (SNCU), and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Medical
College & Hospital, Kolkata.
Study Population: Mothers and babies of severe preeclamptic patient with 34 or more gestational weeks admitted in Eden Hospital, Medical
College & Hospital, Kolkata undergoing caesarean section formed our study cohort.
Study Period: 18 months (from February 2012 till June 2013).
RESULTS AND OBSERVATIONS The patients of severe preeclampsia were in the age group 18 to 30 years (93 %). Only 1.2 % were aged more
than 40years. 5.8 % of patients were between the ages of 30 to 40 years. The age patterns were similar in both the groups receiving either spinal or
general anaesthesia.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Severe preeclampsia mothers receiving general anaesthesia and their babies required more critical care
support. Maternal as well as neonatal mortality was signicantly higher with general anaesthesia. Spinal anaesthesia is safer alternative to general
anaesthesia in severe preeclampsia with less post operative morbidity and mortality

Authors: Biswas Juthika , Das Atasi , Biswas Tarun , Bisui Bikash
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Addiction of tobacco and other substances is a signicant surgical risk factor for peri-operative surgical events. Orthopedic perioperative complications of smoking include impaired wound healing, augmented infection, delayed and/or impaired fracture union and arthrodesis
and worst total knee and hip arthroplasty results. This study is designed to analyse such routinely recorded data and observe prevalence addiction in
male patients posted for orthopaedic operation.
Material and methods: This Observational Retrospective study was conducted in MRD, ESI-PGIMSR & MC. All elective post-surgical patients
who underwent surgery in between the period of January 2017 to December 2017. Total 120 patients were present in this study.
Result: The most signicant effects of intervention were seen for wound-related complications (5% vs 31%, p=0·001), cardiovascular
complications (0% vs 10%, p=0·08), and secondary surgery (4% vs 15%, p=0·07). The median length of stay was 11 days (range 7–55) in the
smoker and 13 days (8–65) in the nonsmoker.
Conclusion: Smoking is a risk factor for wound infection and cardiopulmonary complications in almost any type of surgery; smokers make up a
considerable proportion of the total number of postoperative complications. An effective smoking intervention programme applied 6–8 weeks
before surgery more than halved the frequency of postoperative complications, with the greatest effect on wound-related and cardiovascular
complications.

Authors: Das Atasi , Biswas Juthika , Bisui Bikash , Biswas Tarun
Published: October 2021

INTRODUCTION: Anaemia is estimated to contribute to more than 115 000 maternal deaths and 591 000 perinatal deaths globally per year. In
high resource settings, even mild anaemia adversely effects surgical outcome and is independently associated with increased postoperative
mortality, complications, and length of hospital stay. Therefore non-treatment of perioperative anaemia is considered 'substandard practice'. This
study is designed to analyse such routinely recorded data and observe prevalence of anaemia in patients posted for obstetric and gynaecological
operations.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This Observational Retrospective study was conducted in MRD, ESI-PGIMSR & MC. All elective postsurgical patients who underwent surgery in between the period of January 2017 to December 2019. Total 2073 patients were present in this study.
RESULT: The severe anaemia group had 8.58 [3.65, 19.49] higher odds of experiencing any surgical complication (p<0.001) compared to nonanaemic patients. Analysis of each complication showed a 33.13 [9.57, 110.39] higher odds of unexpected ICU admission (p=0.001); a 7.29 [1.98,
21.45] higher odds of surgical site infection (p<0.001); and 7.48 [1.79, 25.78] higher odds of requiring hospital readmission (p<0.001).
CONCLUSION: Severe anaemia predisposes to postoperative complications but mild anaemia does not.

Untuk merespon pergumulan warga jemaat yang dikenakan tertib penggembalaan ini, pelayan utamanya pendeta di jemaat harus mendampingi mereka dengan melakukan perkunjungan dan pelayanan pribadi.
Marginalisation of ‘global South’ epistemics: the case of a soil science textbook
Authors: Milaras Milton , McKay Tracey
Published: October 2021

Scientific textbooks are often seen as critical teaching and learning tools for undergraduate students. Furthermore, textbooks can shape and define students’ comprehension and internalisation of academic disciplines. Despite this, textbooks are not necessarily error free. Additionally, textbooks can be laden with hidden representational presumptions and biases, foregrounding a particular culture, knowledge system, or hegemonic world-view. This can include the epistemology of the ‘global North’. How appropriate it is to prescribe such textbooks in the ‘global South’ is, therefore, debatable. Thus, this research represents an attempt to determine the suitability of a soil science textbook – produced in the global North – for use in the global South, specifically the South African context. Accordingly, one particular textbook, in use at some South African universities, was analysed using textual analysis, in order to ascertain its applicability within the context of an Africanised curriculum. The study found that, despite the publisher’s claim of ‘universality’, the book presents soil science knowledge as written with a northern geographical setting in mind and for a Western European or North American audience. Thus, for South Africa, with its radically different geographical, cultural, and soil conditions, the textbook is inappropriate and may even be moulding a particular global North worldview. On this basis it is recommended that academics of the global South adopt a critical approach when selecting textbooks; as well as actively promote and write textbooks directly suited to an African setting.

“You become academic royalty once you’ve published”: A social practice exploration of identity in academic writing
Authors: Coleman Lynn , Morris Amanda
Published: October 2021

Academic publishing plays a visible role in the lives of academics in the contemporary university. This paper, located in the academic literacies field of critical enquiry, illustrates the complex ways in which two South African academics understood and discursively constructed their identities through their writing for a recently published book exploring lecturers’ teaching and learning contexts and practices. The autoethnographic sensitivity of the research enabled the elicitation of critical self-reflective accounts, presented through detailed individual reflective sketches. The analysis uses the concepts of autobiographical self, discoursal self and affiliation (Ivanič, 1998; 2005) to show how these writers were able to discursively represent themselves in the book. It further highlights how continued disparities and inequities that characterise academic publication are experienced by the writers. The findings demonstrate the value of the social practice view of writing and its capacity to make visible how writers enact various linguistic, rhetorical and stylistic resources as they discursively construct their alignment to their scholarship community. In particular, it illuminates generative spaces where academic development practitioners can lead dialogues to re-examine current publication practices, their consequential nature for writers and explore possibilities to support emergent SOTL authors.
Rural students’ transition in and through a semi-urban university: Experiences from the National University of Lesotho
Authors: Lefoka Pulane , Tlali Tebello
Published: October 2021

This paper reports on the findings of a study carried out at the National University of Lesotho (NUL). The paper explored the influence of ‘rurality’ on students who originate from the rural areas of Lesotho and analysed their transition at the NUL. The spatial geographic theory and narrative inquiry were adopted, and qualitative focus groups were utilised to collect data. The students were given an opportunity to conceptualise ‘rurality’ and narrate their stories about growing up and earlier schooling, as well as their learning experiences at the NUL. The findings revealed that rural students’ educational trajectories are indeed filled with numerous challenges, mainly due to deprivation and limited exposure to technology in their earlier lives. The main recommendation made by the paper is that the concerned stakeholders ought to be mindful of the needs of all prospective higher education students, including those from rural backgrounds, and intervene accordingly.
Collaborative learning experiences of fourth-year students in a social work module
Authors: Pretorius Erica , Nel Hanna
Published: October 2021

This article provides insight into a fourth-year social work module, integrating an authentic learning task. This task focused on the development of a funding proposal for a social service organization. It attempted to integrate collaborative learning by scaffolding students’ participation in the world of work, rather than just receiving a qualification. In view of the prevalent conversation around the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Covid-19 pandemic, it is essential that lecturers at higher education institutions embrace collaborative and problem-solving skills for student tasks. Recent evidence suggests that higher education graduates’ learning and their readiness for work in a professional environment require a greater focus on creative and innovative thinking to solve real-world problems. The results from this qualitative investigation revealed that students found working in teams and collaborating with their peers both challenging and rewarding. This process contributed to the holistic development of social workers ready to work in the real-world.
The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South
Authors: Guzmán-Valenzuela Carolina
Published: October 2021

In this review of The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South, Carolina Guzmán-Valenzuela discusses why this book might come to be considered a first port-of-call for recognising that internationalisation of higher education is a narrative firmly rooted in western ideologies and which serves as a totalising imaginary. The book, Guzmán-Valenzuela argues, helps to understand the many faces and dimensions of internationalisation in higher education and invites us to think further about what is appropriate to each country given its historical, cultural, political, educational and epistemic background. For Guzmán-Valenzuela, this is a crucial task.
Принципи захисту від несанкціонованого доступу до ресурсів системи хмарних обчислень.
Authors: Піткевич П.
Published: October 2021

У статті розкрито принципи захисту від несанкціонованого доступу до ресурсів системи хмарних обчислень. Наголошено, що продуктивність є важливим фактором для розгляду системи хмарних обчислень. Доступ до загальнодоступних хмар здійснюється через Інтернет і стикається з обмеженнями смуги пропускання, наданими їх відповідними постачальниками інтернет-послуг. Підкреслено, що масштабування до більшої пропускної здатності Інтернету може значно збільшити загальну вартість володіння хмарними рішеннями. Розглянута архітектура модулю контролю доступу, щодо забезпечення захисту від несанкціонованого доступу до ресурсів системи хмарних обчислень, а також запропонована концептуальна схема реалізації процесів автентифікації та авторизації за допомогою модулю контролю доступу, яка відрізняється від існуючих комплексним підходом до класифікації облікових даних користувача і засобів, методів захисту, і може бути застосована до всіх інформаційних систем. Визначено основні архітектурні рішення побудови архітектури модулю контролю доступу, виявлено її переваги та недоліки з точки зору інформаційної безпеки, визначено основні моделі обслуговування хмарних обчислень, описана еталонна архітектура хмарних обчислень з точки зору захисту даних і моделі безпеки. Підкреслено, що архітектура контролю доступу має три основні частини, які працюють разом для обробки запитів доступу: модуль контролю доступу, який приймає/відхиляє/перенаправляє запити на доступ, віртуальна розподілена мережа, яка розгортає та контролює ресурси та послуги, а також централізована глобальна система управління ресурсами, яка обробляє переміщення запитів до інших хмар для віддаленого використання послуг/ресурсів. Наголошено, що глобальна система управління ресурсами діє як бар'єр між різними хмарними службами на одному рівні або різних шарах, а використання однієї централізованої глобальної системи управління ресурсами у запропонованій архітектурі ґрунтується на тому, щоб уникнути використання угоди про рівень послуг для кожного рівня обслуговування.

The results of the study showed the superiority of the yellow Shwithi and Al-Khdrawi regarding the Qualitative and Productive characteristics. There was a significant difference between the date palm cultivars regarding the length, diameter, the weight of fruit, dry matter, total and reduced sugars and fruit content of invertase enzyme were recorded 33.45 mm, 20.89 mm, 9.302 g, 37.685%, 50.28%, 36.09% and 2347 units/kg/ CO2. The spray treatment was characterized by enzymatic whey in most of the study treatments of fruit length, fruit weight, total sugars and invertase enzyme. It reached 34.55 mm, 9.883 g, 56.15% and 2005.3 units/kg/CO2. The results also showed the importance of bilateral interaction between the variety and spray treatment.
Moving From Thin to Thick Conceptions of Civic Engagement: Faculty Identity and Goals for Democratic Learning
Authors: Jovanovic Spoma , Moretto Kristin , Edwards Kathleen
Published: October 2021

Colleges and universities continue to respond to the call for a deepening of community-engaged research and teaching that contributes tangibly to the public good. Coupled with a new generation of scholars eschewing traditional markers of academic success, the authors set out to discover what faculty members at an urban university identify as priorities for teaching and research to advance democratic engagement. They collected quantitative and qualitative data from faculty members and their community partners. The study findings suggested that while community-engaged activity continues to grow and even thrive among an increasing number of faculty members, there remain three targeted areas needing improvement in order for democratically informed scholarship to better serve the public good: (1) The need to transform “thin” student learning goals into more robust, “thick” civic learning goals; (2) increasing what now is minimal, if existent, discussion of the political opportunities for and constraints to community work; and, (3) a fuller integration of faculty interests, personal and professional, with teaching and research priorities centering on democratic engagement.
‘Beri aku Air Hidup, Tuhan!’: Seru Perempuan Samaria dan Gen-Z (Suatu Tafsir Kontrapuntal Yohanes 4:14 sebagai Laku Spiritualitas Generasi Z Indonesia Era Postmodern)
Authors: Abdillah Aldi , Hasiholan Anggi Maringan
Published: October 2021

Spiritualitas generasi muda pada era postmodern cenderung pluralis dan relatif. Alih-alih memandangnya sebagai corak berpikir yang negatif, keadaan tersebut dapat menjadi kekuatan tersendiri dalam internalisasi nilai spiritualitas Kristen kepada generasi Z khususnya. Artikel ini akan menawarkan suatu pendekatan kontekstual akan Yohanes 4:14 sebagai suatu laku spiritualitas Generasi Z di Indonesia. Generasi Z mempunyai tiga karakteristik utama yakni realistis, pluralistis, dan aktivis. Berbagai karakteristik tersebut akan dipadukan dengan kisah dialog antara perempuan Samaria dengan Yesus di Yohanes 4 dalam ayat 14 penjelasan akan air hidup menjadi suatu laku spiritualitas yang perlu dimiliki seseorang. Pembacaan kontrapuntal menjadi suatu pendekatan yang dipakai dalam menganalisis antara karakteristik Generasi Z dengan teks Yohanes 4:14 beserta keutuhan ceritanya. Perspektif penulis sebagai Gen-Z Indonesia pun juga akan dilibatkan dalam proses penafsiran. Artikel ini pada akhirnya berimplikasi bahwa makna air hidup pada teks Yohanes 4:14 memuat suatu spiritualitas-fisik, yakni bagaimana spiritualitas dapat mendayagunakan kehidupan Gen-Z dalam mendobrak segala batasan demi berkontribusi untuk kemajuan bangsa, Asia, dan dunia yang lebih baik.

Authors: Hasugian Jairus
Published: October 2021

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengungkap pelayanan diakonia GIA. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan diakronik. Sampel peneltian adalah Departemen Pelayanan Diakonia Sinode GIA. Sumber utama terdiri buku-buku yang berisi dokumen-dokumen tentang pelayanan diakonia GIA seperti buku Laporan Persidangan Sinode GIA, buku Ulang Tahun Sinode, majalah, buletin, artikel, dan sebagainya. Sedangkan sumber penunjang diperoleh dari buku-buku yang berisi tentang diakonia. Pencarian terhadap sumber utama dilakukan di beberapa perpustakaan, antara lain: perpustakaan MPH Sinode GIA, perpustakaan STT Abdiel, dan juga perpustakaan pribadi penulis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelayanan Diakonia GIA sudah muncul sejak awal, yakni ketika gereja ini masih kecil dan usianyapun masih sangat muda. Sasaran diakonia GIA bukan hanya warga jemaat sendiri tetapi juga diluar jemaat bahkan non-Kristen; tidak hanya untuk individu-individu, melainkan juga untuk masyarakat luas, seperti korban perang dan korban bencana alam. Tidak hanya bersifat karitatif tetapi juga reformatif bahkan transformatif. Diakonia karitatif diwujudkan berupa pemberian bantuan kepada orang miskin, baik di internal gereja sendiri maupun diluar gereja; diakonia reformatif ditunjukkan melalui pelatihan-pelatihan dan pemberian modal, serta pendidikan; sedangkan diakonia transformatif memang lebih ke perubahan rohani.

Machine failure on the M-145 bucket elevator contributed to downtime in January 2021, as much as 605 minutes or 6.75 hours, starting from January 17-20 2021 with a total of 17 production downtimes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the damage to the M145 elevator to determine the root cause of the damage and in this study used the fishbone diagram method. From the results of research conducted there was damage to the M145 elevator that the cause of the overflow was due to the peeling of the rubber coating on the top pulley of the upper motor pulley so that the belt became loose and caused friction on the conveyor belt, the tightness of the conveyor belt which was rarely checked, from the beginning of the construction of the bucket which caused the material to be indirect. lifted to the top but first stirred at the bottom so that it inhibits the speed of the bucket elevator. In preventing overflow damage on the M145 elevator machine by repairing or replacing the top pulley with a new pulley or repair by providing a good pulley rubber coating, as well as changing the direction of the elevator inlet so that the bucket is no longer stuck with raw materials

RECURSIVE FORMULAE FOR DROPLETS TRANSIENT HEATING AND EVAPORATION MODELS VIA A COMBINED METHOD OF INTEGRAL TRANSFORMS
Authors: Anani Kwassi
Published: October 2021

The transient heating of a spherical droplet at rest in a hot gas environment, is analysed when the temperature distribution is initially assumed to be non uniform inside the droplet. A combined method of integral transforms, namely the classical Fourier cosine transform together with the unilateral Laplace transform, is used in solving the resulting initial-boundary value problem, stated in the dimensionless form. Explicit solutions of the problem are first obtained in the Laplace domain, and then analytical approximations in short time limits (timessteps) are derived for the droplet internal and surface temperature fields. The analytical approximation for the droplet internal temperature during the time step is proven to be highly accurate, while the innovative recursive formula obtained for the droplet surface temperature may lead to computationally efficient droplets and sprays vaporization models.
Näkemys oikeudenmukaisuudesta ja kihlakunnantuomarin viraltapano 1700-luvun puolivälin Vanhassa Suomessa
Authors: Räihä Antti
Published: October 2021

Sven Johan Östring hoiti Vanhassa Suomessa sijainneen Savonlinnan tuomiokunnan kihlakunnantuomarin virkaa reilun vuosikymmen ajan keväästä 1747 kesään 1760. Kihlakunnantuomarin ja tuomiokunnan rahvaan välit kärjistyivät 1750-luvun lopulla talonpoikien valittaessa toistuvasti tuomari Östringin väärinkäytöksistä. Talonpoikien mukaan kihlakunnantuomari Östring oli heidän vihamiehensä. Artikkelissa kysytään, miten virkavirhevalitusprosessit etenivät ja mitkä syyt johtivat lopulta kihlakunnantuomarin viraltapanoon. Kihlakunnantuomari Östringin väärinkäytökset olivat luonteeltaan pääasiassa taloudellisia. Valituksissa korostui kuitenkin taloudellisia menetyksiä vahvemmin talonpoikien näkemys oikeudenmukaisuudesta, jota väärinkäytökset loukkasivat. Käräjiltä poissaoloja koskeneet epäoikeudenmukaiset sakotukset tai päivätöiden edellyttäminen vaaditut maksunsa jo suorittaneilta torppareilta olivat vastoin talonpoikien näkemystä eettisestä oikeudenmukaisuudesta. Valitustematiikan kärjistyminen korruptiosyytteiksi, valitusaiheiden toistuvuus ja lopulta käytännön muutokset valitusten edistämisessä johtivat kihlakunnantuomari Östringin viraltapanoon yli neljä vuotta kestäneen tapahtumaketjun päätteeksi. Kihlakunnantuomari Östringin toiminnan ei voida nähdä muuttuneen siinä määrin, että se selittäisi viraltapanon ajankohtaa kesällä 1760. Sen sijaan muutos valituskäytänteessä oli keskeinen lopputulosta selittävä tekijä. Artikkelin mikrohistoriallinen lähestymistapa peilaa kihlakunnantuomari Östringin väärinkäytösten kautta laajasti oikeuslaitoksen toimintaa, talonpoikien valitusmahdollisuuksia ja tuomarinviran hoitoa 1700-luvun puolivälin Vanhassa Suomessa.

The problem of providing clean water is currently a very serious problem on Karimun Besar Island. The need for clean water has increased every year while the availability of clean water is increasingly limited, due to the narrowing of infiltration areas, exploitation of raw water sources that do not pay attention to the sustainability of water sources, and the amount of reservoir discharge which is influenced by the climate on Karimun Besar Island. In order to avoid water shortages, it is necessary to maintain and preserve existing water sources, efficiency in water use and the search for new alternative sources. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether there is an effect of clean water needs on the population and to find out whether the water reservoir of the Sei Bati reservoir is in accordance with the Spatial Planning of Karimun Regency by using secondary data as reference from PDAM Tirta Karimun
