Abstract. Surface fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution can be enhanced by feedback processes induced by aerosol–radiation interactions (ARIs) and aerosol–cloud interactions (ACIs). Many previous studies have reported enhanced PM2.5 concentrations induced by ARIs and ACIs for episodic events in China. However, few studies have examined the changes in the ARI- and ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancements over a long period, though the anthropogenic emissions have changed substantially in the last decade. In this study, we quantify the ARI- and ACI-induced PM2.5 changes for 2013–2021 under different meteorology and emission scenarios using the Weather Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry (WRF-Chem), and we investigate the driving factors behind the changes. Our results show that, in January 2013, when China suffered from the worst PM2.5 pollution, the PM2.5 enhancement induced by ARIs in eastern China (5.59 µg m−3) was larger than that induced by ACIs (3.96 µg m−3). However, the ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancement showed a significantly smaller decrease ratio (51 %) than the ARI-induced enhancement (75 %) for 2013–2021, making ACIs more important for enhancing PM2.5 concentrations in January 2021. Our analyses suggest that the anthropogenic emission reductions played a key role in this shift. Owing to only anthropogenic emission reductions, the ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancement decreased by 43 % in January, which was lower than the decrease ratio of the ARI-induced enhancement (57 %). The relative change in ARI- and ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancement in July was similar to the pattern observed in January, caused by anthropogenic emission reductions. The primary reason for this phenomenon is that the decrease in ambient PM2.5 for 2013–2021 caused a disproportionately small decrease in the liquid water path (LWP) and an increase in the cloud effective radius (Re) under the condition of high PM2.5 concentrations. Therefore, the surface solar radiation attenuation (and, hence, the boundary layer height reduction) caused by ACIs decreased slower than that caused by ARIs. Moreover, the lower decrease ratio of the ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancement was dominated by the lower decrease ratio of ACI-induced secondary PM2.5 component enhancement, which was additionally caused by the smaller decrease ratio of the air temperature reduction and the relative humidity (RH) increase. Our findings indicate that, with the decrease in ambient PM2.5, the ACI-induced PM2.5 enhancement inevitably becomes more important. This needs to be considered in the formulation of control policies to meet the national PM2.5 air quality standard.

Abstract. Long-term ground-based ozone measurements are crucial to study the recovery of stratospheric ozone as well as the trends of tropospheric ozone. This study is performed in the context of the LOTUS (Long-term Ozone Trends and Uncertainties in the Stratosphere) and TOAR-II (Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report, phase II) initiatives. We perform an intercomparison study of total column ozone and multiple partial ozone columns between the ground-based measurements available at the Lauder station from 2000 to 2022, which are the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, Dobson Umkehr, ozonesonde, lidar, and the microwave radiometer. We compare partial columns, defined to provide independent information: one tropospheric and three stratospheric columns. The intercomparison is analyzed using the median of relative differences (the bias) of FTIR with each of the other measurements, the scaled Median Absolute deviation (MADs), and a trend of these differences (measurement drift). The total column shows a bias and strong scatter well within the combined systematic and random uncertainties respectively. There is however a drift of 0.6±0.5 %/decade if we consider the full time series. In the troposphere we find a low bias of -1.9 % with the ozonesondes. No drift is found between the three instruments in the troposphere, which is good for trend studies within TOAR-II. In both the lower and upper stratosphere, we get a negative bias for all instruments with respect to FTIR (between -1.2 % and -6.8 %), but all are within the range of the systematic uncertainties. In the middle stratosphere we seem to find a negative bias of around -5.2 to -6.6 %, pointing towards too high values for FTIR in this partial column. We find no significant drift in the stratosphere between ozonesonde and FTIR for all partial columns. We do observe drift between the FTIR and Umkehr partial columns in the lower and upper stratospheres (2.6±1.1 %/decade and -3.2±0.9 %/decade), with lidar in the midle and upper stratosphere (2.1±0.8 %/decade and -3.7±1.2 %/decade), and with MWR in the midle stratosphere (3.1±1.7 %/decade). These drifts point to the fact that the different observed trends in LOTUS are not due to different sampling, vertical sensitivity or time periods and gaps. However, the difference in trends in LOTUS is reduced by applying a new FTIR retrieval strategy, which changes inputs such as the choice of microwindows, spectroscopy from HITRAN2008 to HITRAN2020, and the regularization method.
Back analysis of a building collapse under snow and rain loads in a Mediterranean area
Authors: Ousset Isabelle , Evin Guillaume , Raynaud Damien , Faug Thierry
Published: November 2023

Abstract. At the end of February 2018 the Mediterranean area of Montpellier in France was struck by a significant snowfall that turned into an intense rain event caused by an exceptional atmospheric situation. This rain-on-snow event produced pronounced damage to many buildings of different types. In this study, we report a detailed back analysis of the roof collapse of a large building, namely Irstea Cévennes. Attention is paid to the dynamics of the climatic event, on the one hand, and the mechanical response of the metal roof structure to different snow and rain loads, on the other hand. The former aspect relies on multiple sources of information that provide reliable estimates of snow heights in the area before the rain came into play and substantially modified the load on the roof. The latter aspect relies on detailed finite-element simulations of the mechanical behavior of the roof structure in order to assess the pressure due to snow and rain loading, which could theoretically lead to failure. By combining the two approaches, it is possible to reconstruct the most probable scenario for the roof failure before its full collapse. As an example of building behavior and vulnerability to an atypical rain-on-snow event in the Mediterranean area of France, this detailed case study provides useful key points to be considered in the future for a better mitigation of such events in non-mountainous areas.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. The South China Sea faces widespread tsunami risks from diverse sources, including trench megathrusts, intraplate earthquakes, and landslides. However, historical and geological records to constrain worse-case simulations are scarce. The cliff-top basalt boulders on the Penghu Islands in the Taiwan Strait provide wave estimates from incipient motion formulas and stratigraphic links to the probable sources. Calibrating for ancient local sea levels and a 100-year surge indicates that storm waves in the shallow interisland bathymetry only enable boulder sliding–rolling below the 2.5 m high cliff. A minimum tsunami wave height of ∼ 3.2 m is necessary for cliff-top overflow to exceed boulder height and terminal rolling before deposition. Coeval gravels in two other outcrops also record the time and extent of tsunami deposition with beach-derived bioclasts, stranded pumices, a sharp base, matrix support, poor sorting, and elevations surpassing the 100-year surge. These gravels mark local minimum wave run-ups, reaching 2.4–4.0 m above sea level. The radiocarbon age of the studied boulder, between 1575 and 1706, suggests a probable tie to the disastrous 1661 earthquake in southwest Taiwan and the megathrust source in the northern Manila Trench.

Abstract. The analysis of englacial layers using radio-echo sounding data enables the characterisation and reconstruction of current and past ice-sheet flow. Despite the Lambert Glacier catchment being one of the largest in Antarctica, discharging ∼16 % of East Antarctica's ice, its englacial architecture has been little analysed. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of Lambert Glacier's englacial architecture using radio-echo sounding data collected by Antarctica's Gamburtsev Province Project (AGAP) North survey. We used an internal layering continuity index (ILCI) to characterise the internal architecture of the ice and identify four macro-scale ILCI zones with distinct glaciological contexts. Whilst the catchment is dominated by continuous englacial layering, disrupted or discontinuous layering is highlighted by the ILCI at both the onset of enhanced ice flow (defined here as >15 m a−1) and along the shear margin, suggesting a transition in englacial deformation conditions and converging ice flow. These zones are characterised by buckled and folded englacial layers which have fold axes aligned with the current ice-flow regime. These folds suggest that the flow direction of the Lambert Glacier trunk has changed little, if at all, during the Holocene. Disturbed englacial layers that do not correspond to modern ice-flow routing found within a deep subglacial channel, however, suggest that ice-flow change has occurred in a former tributary that fed Lambert Glacier from grid north. As large outlet systems such as Lambert Glacier are likely to play a vital role in the future drainage of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, constraining their englacial architecture to reconstruct their past ice flow and determine basal conditions is important for refining projections of future sea-level change.
From wind conditions to operational strategy: optimal planning of wind turbine damage progression over its lifetime
Authors: Requate Niklas , Meyer Tobias , Hofmann René
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Renewable energies have an entirely different cost structure than fossil-fuel-based electricity generation. This is mainly due to the operation at zero marginal cost, whereas for fossil fuel plants the fuel itself is a major driver of the entire cost of energy. For a wind turbine, most of the materials and resources are spent up front. Over its lifetime, this initial capital and material investment is converted into usable energy. Therefore, it is desirable to gain the maximum benefit from the utilized materials for each individual turbine over its entire operating lifetime. Material usage is closely linked to individual damage progression of various turbine components and their respective failure modes. In this work, we present a novel approach for an optimal long-term planning of the operation of wind energy systems over their entire lifetime. It is based on a process for setting up a mathematical optimization problem that optimally distributes the available damage budget of a given failure mode over the entire lifetime. The complete process ranges from an adaptation of real-time wind turbine control to the evaluation of long-term goals and requirements. During this process, relevant deterministic external conditions and real-time controller setpoints influence the damage progression with equal importance. Finally, the selection of optimal planning strategies is based on an economic evaluation. The method is applied to an example for demonstration. It shows the high potential of the approach for an effective damage reduction in different use cases. The focus of the example is to effectively reduce power of a turbine under conditions where high loads are induced from wake-induced turbulence of neighbouring turbines. Through the optimization approach, the damage budget can be saved or spent under conditions where it pays off most in the long term. This way, it is possible to gain more energy from a given system and thus to reduce cost and ecological impact by a better usage of materials.
The Shape of Medical Devices Regulation in the United Kingdom? Brexit and Beyond
Authors: Quigley Muireann , Downey Laura , Mahmoud Zaina , McHale Jean
Published: November 2023

The United Kingdom’s Medicines and Medical Devices Act (MMD Act) 2021 received royal assent on 11 February 2021. In its passage through parliament, as well as in the accompanying Explanatory Notes, the Act was framed by the government as a necessary post-Brexit bill. Yet prior to this, it was widely presumed that existing statutory instruments, enacted in 2019 to address medical devices regulation in anticipation of a ‘No Deal Brexit’, would provide the United Kingdom (UK) with the necessary legal framework through the transition period and beyond. The European Union (EU) exit legislation included provisions aimed at aligning domestic law with the new EU Medical Devices Regulation (EU MDR) and In Vitro Devices Regulation (EU IVDR) (which were initially due to be implemented during the EU exit transition period). However, just over a year later, at the end of 2020, while the 2021 Act was in the final stages of its parliamentary journey, legislation was introduced that reversed the provisions of the domestic medical device regulations concerning alignment for Great Britain (GB: England, Wales, and Scotland). The result is that the UK now has a dual system of regulation, with Northern Ireland (NI) being governed by the new EU MDR and EU IVDR and GB by older pre-Brexit (yet still EU-derived) law.
This article is an attempt to analyse the complex situation now in existence regarding the regulation of medical devices in the UK. To this end, we focus on three main issues. First, we examine the difficulties and challenges presented by the dual system of regulation between NI and GB, highlighting the potentially far-reaching consequences of regulatory divergence between different UK jurisdictions. Second, we ask whether, in the rush to new legislation in 2021, opportunities to properly reform the approach to medical devices were missed. Finally, we look to the future, focusing on the recent Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency Consultation on the future of medical devices regulation in the UK and the challenges and opportunities that remain.
Regulatory Challenges at the Intersection of Cellular and Medical Device Therapies in Europe: The Case of the Bioartificial Pancreas
Authors: Cronin Antonia , Thom Rebecca , . VANGUARD
Published: November 2023

Regenerative medicine solutions for type 1 diabetes are a rapidly developing field of medical technology. So far, these solutions have been principally cell-based treatments and, at present, in Europe, are regulated under the European Union regulations for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs). But now, new, emerging technology combining cellular therapy with medical devices is under development. The potential of this novel hybrid model to create a bioartificial pancreas is tantalising. However, incorporating medical devices creates a further layer of complexity to an already challenging product development process. Moreover, it raises important questions about how bioartificial organs should be regulated.
This article seeks to expose the complexity of the legal and regulatory landscape relating to such products, focusing on the laws of the European Union and, where appropriate, bringing in examples from other jurisdictions. We set out the role of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and review the classification of existing ATMPs and those proposed for type 1 diabetes to highlight the potential consequences and effects of nomenclature and classifications. We argue that emerging hybrid regenerative medicine solutions at the intersection of cellular and medical device therapies, in which medical devices are integral to and facilitate the cell therapy mechanism of action, are not satisfactorily accounted for in the existing legal paradigm regulating regenerative medical therapies. We suggest that these functional hybrid products, currently in their infancy, may yet have far-reaching implications for the interface of law, regulation and technology. For example, they are likely to challenge the conventional discourse related to a market in (bioartificial) organs. We recommend that the EMA, national competent authorities for medical devices, national transplantation authorities and those responsible for overseeing translational clinical research respond to this by developing the existing regulatory framework in such a way that captures the essence of these hybrid products as a single entity. Issuing guidance on updated regulations to researchers engaged in this emerging technology will be key to the success of its translation into human therapies.
Los conceptos de “vida” y “sangre” en la poesía de Murayama Kaita: tradición e innovación del decadentismo literario
Authors: Ferreiro Posse Dámaso
Published: November 2023

En el presente trabajo de investigación analizaremos la obra literaria de Murayama Kaita, pintor y poeta japonés de época Taisho que, a pesar de tener un genio desbordante y ser un innovador tanto en las artes plásticas como escritas, se tuvo que enfrentar a numerosos problemas vitales tales como el rechazo familiar, el despecho y la enfermedad, que mermaron sus fuerzas y lo empujaron a una temprana muerte a la corta edad de 22 años. El análisis literario que llevaremos a cabo persigue definir y esclarecer el rol que desempeñan los conceptos de «vida» y «sangre» en su obra poética. Tanto «vida» como «sangre» son ideas complejas y multidimensionales que se entrelazan y complementan de una forma tal que permiten entrever la visión del mundo y del arte únicas que Kaita poseía. Además, si bien el Kaita pintor ha sido estudiado hasta la saciedad y sus obras alcanzan hoy día precios desorbitados en el mercado, siendo el pintor de época Taisho más valorado a nivel comercial, su obra literaria ha sido ignorada durante decenios. El presente trabajo busca intentar poner en valor la producción literaria de este genio efímero y, de alguna forma, dar a conocer su obra poética para que investigaciones posteriores puedan ayudar a subsanar la situación actual.
El paradigma del crecimiento y las "shrinking cities". Caso de estudio: Tokio
Authors: Riva de Monti Marcela
Published: November 2023

Los sistemas de producción post-fordistas, definidos por una producción flexible y des-localizada, provocaron un cambio en la geografía de la producción. En consecuencia, se forjó una nueva dinámica en los procesos de urbanización que afectó a muchas ciudades culminando en dos tipos -a priori- antagónicos de ciudades: las shrinking cities y las ciudades globales. La definición de Tokio es controvertida. Algunas investigaciones académicas señalan la existencia del shrinkage, en tanto que la ciudad se sitúa sistemáticamente entre las primeras posiciones dentro de las ciudades globales. Este estudio de caso analiza la trayectoria de la ciudad para arrojar luz sobre el proceso que está teniendo lugar. La investigación muestra la presencia de un proceso simultáneo y desigual de crecimiento y decrecimiento, bien diferenciado del city shrinkage, ya que no evidencia las implicaciones negativas del declive.
Enfermedad mental y estereotipo en la figura del otaku japonés
Authors: Rodríguez Cruz Jorge
Published: November 2023

Ya desde la acuñación del estereotipo de ‘otaku’ en 1983, su artífice, Nakamori Akio, trató de poner de relieve la “anormalidad” de los respecto al resto de los jóvenes, enfatizando un interés insano por sus aficiones y un carácter más bien maniático. Por si eso fuera poco, para reforzar la imagen despectiva y peyorativa que estaba construyendo de los otaku, Nakamori menciona su incapacidad para relacionarse con mujeres reales, su consecuente sexualidad reprimida y su tendencia a la parafilia.
A finales de los ochenta, el «incidente Miyazaki» puso en los otaku el foco de los medios y la sociedad en general. El impacto de los asesinatos cometidos por Miyazaki Tsutomu fue muy alto, y el estereotipo acerca de los otaku sufrió un proceso de patologización. Lo que Nakamori definió como un carácter reprimido o una profunda introversión, la prensa lo convirtió en un declive psicológico capaz de derivar en una grave perversión sexual y una peligrosa enfermedad mental.
Este artículo pretende revisar cómo, a partir de los años 2000, el psiquiatra Saitō Tamaki ha tratado de desmitificar el otaku analizándolo desde la perspectiva de la salud mental y, en concreto, haciendo hincapié en el estudio y comprensión de su sexualidad.
«Tsumi.kegare» y las antropologías japonesas de la enfermedad
Authors: Falero Alfonso
Published: November 2023

Actualmente no estamos en condiciones de establecer un acuerdo sobre el concepto conocido como tsumi.kegare, en atención a las diversas líneas de interpretación existentes. Se parte en general del paradigma animista, pero el enfoque de los estudios del folclore, de la estructura y dinámica del matsuri, y el de la dinámica propia de la contaminación ritual difieren.Las teorías del tama en Orikuchi Shinobu (1887-1953), del tsumi.kegare desde Motoori Norinaga, o de Yanagita Kunio (1875-1962), recogidas por Sonoda Minoru (1936-) sobre la naturaleza del matsuri, difieren entre sí.La teoría del tsumi.kegare con base en la simbología del arroz tiene puntos a favor y en contra. En efecto, frente a la visión del kegare como un tipo de deterioro natural, basada en el modelo del ciclo agrícola, debemos tener en cuenta la importancia que tienen en la cultura animista los factores externos que agreden al cuerpo, como es el caso de entes invisibles que invaden y destruyen nuestro organismo.Este tipo de contagio puede interpretarse en clave de tsumi, siguiendo a Namihira Emiko (1942-). Concluimos ofreciendo cuatro casos de incidencia textual del concepto de enfermedad en los clásicos japoneses como propuesta de estudios de caso.

Stan i potrzeba badań nad wspólnotami monastycznymi w Polsce średniowiecznej
Authors: Derwich Marek
Published: November 2023

Jest to rozszerzona wersja artykułu opublikowanego w języku francuskim w Qiiaestiones Medii Aevii Novae (t. 2, 1997). Zawiera krytyczny przegląd XIX i XX-wiecznych studiów nad dziejami pustelników, mnichów i kanoników regularnych w Polsce. Identyfikacja i opis kolejnych etapów rozwoju tej gałęzi badań historycznych prowadzi do oceny obecnego stanu badań i sformułowania programu na przyszłość. Po krótkim przeglądzie literatury i metodologii autorka omawia rozwój badań nad dziejami monastycyzmu w Polsce w kontekście środkowoeuropejskim. W pierwszym etapie dominowała monografia „opisowa”. Historycy kierujący się tym modelem jedynie gromadzili i redagowali materiały źródłowe dotyczące poszczególnych opactw. Początki nowożytnej nauki w tej dziedzinie wiązały się z podejściem „dyplomatycznym”, które specjalizowało się w krytycznych badaniach najstarszych dokumentów z najwcześniejszych fundacji zakonnych. Jej osiągnięcia utorowały drogę podejściu „dyplomatyczno-ekonomicznemu”, skupiającemu się głównie na ekonomii i materialnych aspektach życia monastycznego. Bardziej wyspecjalizowana gałąź tej ostatniej, zwana szkołą poznańską, skupiła swoje wysiłki na odbudowie dużych majątków klasztornych, zwłaszcza cystersów. Rozwijane są kolejne specjalizacje, zwłaszcza przez badaczy ośrodka lubelskiego (Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego), na którego czele stoi prof. Jerzy Kłoczowski. Tematy, które w ostatnim czasie cieszą się coraz większym zainteresowaniem, to działalność misyjna cystersów, „proces lokacyjny” opactwa cystersów i premonstratensów oraz początki polskiego monastycyzmu. Dużą wagę przywiązuje się do badań nad kulturą klasztorną, czyli funkcjonowaniem bibliotek i skryptoriów, czy też twórczością artystyczną i muzyczną klasztorów. W końcowej części pracy autor formułuje szereg sugestii dotyczących celów i technik badawczych. Postuluje poszerzenie katalogu zagadnień badawczych i położenie większego nacisku na podejście interdyscyplinarne, także na etapie gromadzenia i oceny źródeł. Nowe obszary i zagadnienia, takie jak miejsce monastycyzmu w społeczeństwie i kulturze, jego rola w zadaniu ewangelizacyjnym, osadzenie opactwa w określonym środowisku społecznym, struktura i funkcjonowanie wspólnot monastycznych, duchowość, liturgia i officium divinum, powinny być otwarte na systematyczne badania. Na koniec autor wskazuje na potrzebę opracowania nowego modelu monografii, który uwzględniałby wszystkie aspekty funkcjonowania opactwa.
Empirical Study on Dollarization in Vietnam
Authors: Thanh Son Vu , Viet Ha Vu , Duc Hoang Le
Published: November 2023

The research is aimed at investigating the facts and determinants of dollarization in Vietnam in the period of 2010-2019. Additionally, the monetary policies implemented by the government and the State Bank of Vietnam are assessed to find their contribution to the success of de-dollarizing in Vietnam. The empirical test is carried out with 120 observations using OLS model. Key findings are: (i) inflation, exchange rate and USD deposit rate have positive impacts on the dollarization in Vietnam; (ii) consumer price index has negative impact on the dollarization; (iii) the two variables of imports and foreign direct investment are not significant, which is different from other previous studies. This may come from the fact that Vietnam is very active in importing and attracting foreign investment, and external investors do not worry about dollarization situation in Vietnam. Some recommendations to the Government and the State Bank of Vietnam are proposed to reduce dollarization in Vietnam to strengthen the reputation and belief on Vietnam dong.

Corpus Alienum (Hijab Needle) Intra Lung Parenchyma with Bronchoscopy, Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS), Thoracotomy Conversion
Authors: Tri Wahyuda Putra Aldian , Fitry Yani Finny , . Mayetti
Published: November 2023

Background: Foreign body aspiration is a life threatening condition that must be treated immediately, such as nuts, plastic, hijab needles. Incidents commonly occur in children, especially under 3 years old. Clinical manifestations may vary from mild to severe. Treatment includes bronchoscopy, VATS and thoracotomy. Video Assisted Thoracoscopy Surgery can reduce postoperative morbidity, pain scale and length of stay. Conversion from VATS to open thoracic surgery is 2-23%
Case Presentation: A 12 year old girl was admitted with chief complaints inhaling a hijab needle one day before admission. The patient tried to remove the needle by pulling out the needle from the base of the tongue. Saliva was not mixed with blood. There was no shortness of breath, cough, nor pain when swallowing, neither nausea nor vomiting. Physical examination was within normal limit. A chest x-ray showed a needle-like object projecting from the right bronchus at Th6-Th7. Bronchoscopy was carried out as first attempt, followed by VATS and eventually converted to thoracotomy. Patient remained stable after procedure and discharged without complications.
Conclusion: Needle hijab aspiration often occurs in adolescent girls which can cause morbidity. The procedures may vary from minimally invasive such as bronchoscopy, to more invasive procedures such as VATS and thoracotomy

Keywords: corpus alienum, VATS, thoracotomy
Resilient Modulus of Compacted Granular and Lateritic Materials Used as Base Layers for Flexible Pavements in West Africa
Authors: Ba Makhaly , Josiane Ki Bibalo Ida , Abdoulaye Sall Oustasse
Published: November 2023

The objective of the study is to synthesize resilient modulus data available in Senegal and to propose linear and nonlinear elasticity parameters, which can be used directly for the design of flexible pavements in west Africa. The materials tested are unbound aggregates of basalt and quartzite and gravel lateritic soil from Senegal and Burkina Faso. The Repeated Load Triaxial device is used according to French and American procedures to measure resilient modulus. Different models of the resilient modulus are used to determine the parameters of the nonlinear models and the summary and/or characteristic resilient modulus used in the elastic linear calculation. For the nonlinear calculation, the parameters of the models of Seed et al. (1967), NCHRP (2004) and Boyce (1980) are determined. For the linear elasticity calculation, at the optimum water content and at the dry density of 95% of its maximum value, a maximum modulus of between 300 and 350 MPa is proposed for laterites in the base layer. Values ​​of 220 MPa and 150 MPa are proposed for basalt and quartzite respectively. The moduli obtained are not correlated to the CBR values of the materials. A strong variability in the modulus of laterites is also noted, contrary to the modulus of unbound aggregates. Laterites sometimes have higher modulus than unbound aggregates due to cohesion, but they are more sensitive to water. We recommend that unbound materials (untreated gravels and laterites) be compacted in situ to 97% of the maximum dry density and, for laterite, to the optimal water content -1.5 but also to ensure a good waterproofing and good drainage of the structure.

Keywords: Resilient modulus; unbound aggregates; gravel lateritic soil; West Africa.

Titanium dioxide is also called titania and occurs in nature in anatase and rutile forms. It is widely used as a white pigment, catalyst support, and photocatalyst. Nano-TiO2 pigments in pure crystallographic anatase phases have been successfully synthesized via sol-gel method. Nano-TiO2 material has been characterized by various techniques such as XRD, TEM, and XPS. The prepared nano-TiO2 was mixed with two different offset inks (falcon and jobbing) to upgrade the physical and optical properties of the offset inks and compared with Degussa TiO2 before and after the application was tracking and measured. Generally, requiring a small amount of modification is better to avoid any ink malfunction, nano ink requires 0.1 % is because of the photoactive anatase structure of TiO2, while Degussa requires 1 % because it has a 15% rutile structure, which considered a photoinactive phase structure of TiO2.

This manuscript has reported the micellar interaction of cationic triphenylmethane-based dye andquot;Victoria Blue-B (VBB)andquot;. The study was conducted using ionic surfactants viz. Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB)] Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), and Sodium Docusate (SD). The behavior of dye in micellar media at concentration ranges of the surfactants mentioned above was monitored by UV-vis absorption spectroscopic study. The solubilization parameters to reveal the interaction of cationic dye in micellar media were assessed. The mathematical calculations of partition constant (Kc), partition coefficient (Kx), binding coefficient (Kb), Gibb’s free energy for partition (ΔGp) and binding (ΔGb) were derived from UV–Vis absorption data. The presence of anionic surfactants caused more bathochromic shifts in the maximum absorption of the dye, which was indicative of strong interactions as compared to the cationic surfactant.

In this paper, we establish a common fixed point theorem for two multivalued mappings satisfying some dominated conditions on a complete metric space. This new rational type contractive inequality refines various results in the literature. The main theorem is illustrated with examples. As application, we found the existence of solutions of system nonlinear integral equations and functional equations.

Published: November 2023

Recently, Jleli et. al. [9] introduced by the concept of a (H, φ)-fixed point and they establish some fixed point results for various classes of operators defined on a metric space (M, d). This study is devoted to investigate the problem whether the existence and uniqueness of integral type (H,ψ)_{F} -contraction mappings on complete metric space. At the end, we give an illustrative example.

We prove the equivalence of suitably defined weak solutions of a nonhomogeneous initial-boundary value problem for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations. We also develop the notion of both "renormalized" and "entropy" solutions with respect to the "generalized" $p(\cdot)$-capacity, initial datum, and diffuse measure data (which does not charge the set of null $p(\cdot)$-capacity). Conditions, under which "generalized weak" solutions of the nonhomogeneous problem are in fact well-defined, are also given.

Published: November 2023

In this paper, we introduce the concept of periodic Gabor frames on positive half line. Firstly, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a periodic Gabor system to be a Gabor frame. Then, we present some equivalent characterizations of Parseval Gabor frames on positive half line by means of some fundamental equations in time domain.

The key goal of the present research article is to introduce a new sequence of linear positive operator i.e., α-Schurer Durrmeyer operator and their approximation behaviour on the basis of function η (z), where η infinitely differentiable on [0,1], η(z)=0, η(1)=1 and η'(z)>0, for all z∈[0,1]. Further, we calculate central moments and basic estimates for the sequence of the operators. Moreover, we discuss the rate of convergence and order of approximation in terms of modulus of continuity, smoothness, Korovkin theorem, and Peeter's K-functional. Lastly, local and global approximation properties are studied in the subsequent section.
C12-modules via left exact preradicals

Published: November 2023

In this paper, we study modules with the condition that images of all submodules under a left exact preradical for the category of right modules over a ring can be essentially embedded in direct summands. This new class of modules properly contains the class of C12-modules (and hence also CS-modules and uniform modules). It is shown that any module is isomorphic to a direct summand of a module which satises the rC12 property. In contrast to CS-modules, it is shown that the class of modules with the former property is closed under essential extensions whenever any module in the new class is relative injective with respect to its essential extensions.
Poem by Kul Gali «The Legend of Yusuf» as an object of culturological analysis
Authors: Fedyaev A. P. , Fedyaeva R. Kh.
Published: November 2023

This article justifies that «cultural models of growth» are the main unit of the historical process and are regularly repeated in various civilizations and cultures. It is found out, that Yusuf was a historical person and King of Ancient Egypt during the rule of the Hyksos dynasty pharaohs. The unknown names of the rulers of Egypt – Reyan and Kytfir – are discovered. It was also revealed, that the images of Yusuf and Zuleikha reflected the features of Pharaoh Akhenaten and his wife Nefertiti. It has been suggested that it is possible to find the untouched burial of Pharaoh Akhenaten. It has been proven that the origins of self-awareness of the Tatar ethnic group lay in the depths of centuries and are associated with the history of Ancient Egypt.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Including traditional, complementary and integrative medicines in national health systems is a point of discussion worldwide. This article focuses on the theme within the scope of oncology in Latin America. Objective: To analyze the health care management dimensions included in scientific production in integrative oncology in Latin America. Materials and method: This is an integrative literature review carried out in the LILACS, Mosaico, IBECS, PubMed and Embase databases, whose guiding question was prepared according to The PRISMA 2020 Statement recommendations. The search occurred by the association of free terms related to the descriptors “Integrative Oncology,” “Complementary Therapies,” “Health Care,” “Care Management,” and “Countries That Make Up Latin America”. Data were interpreted from the conceptual perspective of health care management dimensions. Results: The study selection process identified 206 studies. The final sample was made up of eight articles available online in full, published between 2017 and 2022 in Portuguese, Spanish or English. Articles were developed in Brazil (n = 4), Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Uruguay (n = 1, respectively). There was a predominance of the individual health care management dimension as the focus of analyzed studies. The “professional,” “family,” “societal,” and “organizational” dimensions were presented in the discussion of results. Conclusions: Despite the insufficiency of studies, analysis of interdependence between dimensions indicates the complexity of the management process for integrating traditional, complementary and integrative medicine in oncological care in Latin America, which suggests an epistemology in the construction process.
