Published: July 2022

The timber industry takes an important place in our modern life, and there has been an increased interest in it for a long time, especially in industrially developed countries. The concerns of the environmental organization regarding the plant wealth preservation have caused scientific trends to search for sources or industries that can achieve acceptable alternatives to natural wood. The materials in this article are related to industrial timber manufacturing of greenhouse wood waste, low density polyethylene and non-standard joinery waste. Moreover, panel samples made from the above materials were briefly subjected to tests as well as tested by fresh and salt water absorption.The density calculation results for all samples have shown the possibility of obtaining a wide range of wooden planks from the lightest to the heaviest ones, depending on the type of filler used. Additionally, the conducted research has shown the possibility of producing artificial wood panels made from the studied materials with good quality and fully satisfactory physical and mechanical properties.

Every day, the need for composite materials grows. The physical and chemical characteristics of the constituent materials inside the hybrid composite impact the final structure. The rate at which these individual properties are sustained varies, but it has an impact on the final properties of hybrid composites. Sporting goods and lightweight orthopaedic components are made from hybrid composites. Glass fibre epoxy and sawdust are utilised to construct hybrid composites in this study, using glass fibre to epoxy resin ratios of (60:40, 60:39, 60:38, 60:37).The current research involves the creation of hybrid composites and their study for flexural and tensile strength under various load conditions. Applying resin and hardener, as well as inserting reinforcement, is repeated in the hand-layup manufacturing process to improve characteristics and create a laminate form. They improve fatigue and fracture resistance while providing dimensional stability and weight savings.

The search for green composite for sound-absorbing material has increased a significant interest. In this study, polystyrene (PS) composite foam filled with primary sludge and boiler ash from pulp mill was produced. The product was characterized using analytical techniques such as FTIR, XRD, SEM, TGA, and DSC, while the mechanical properties and sound-absorbing coefficient were analyzed regarding ASTM D 2240 and ASTM E-1050-98, respectively. The results showed that the sludge has 1β crystalline polymorph cellulose from the pulp. The chemical reaction can be seen by the chemical bond formed during the mixing process. The peak expansion occurred at 1600.44 cm-1 indicating the presence of a C=C functional group of maleic anhydride with polymer and filler. SEM images showed that the filler was distributed and dispersed into the polymer matrix and no agglomeration was produced. The sound-absorbing composites had complied ISO 11654:1997 regarding the sound absorption coefficient rating level on materials for rooms with sound absorption classes D and C with the value of α 0.328-0.793.

The goal of this research is to show that epoxy resin (ER) / coir fiber mats (CFM) hybrid composite laminates with nano-silica particle (NP) reinforcement improve mechanical characteristics and water absorption. Lately, it has been employed in automotive, aerospace, and structural industries where coir fiber-reinforced polymers are safe for ecologically friendly composite applications. The Compression - Hand layup technique is used to make the epoxy composites reinforced with natural coir fibres and nano-silica particles in various weight fractions (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% by weight). Mechanical parameters such as tensile, flexural, compressive, impact strength, thermal conductivity and also water absorption of composites are evaluated in this study. Scanning electron microscopy is also used to analyze the surface morphology of cracked surfaces (SEM). Hybrid nanosilica-coir fiber mat reinforced epoxy resin has decreased water absorption (percent) suggesting better mechanical qualities. Furthermore, the hybrid epoxy-containing 20% nano-silica coir mat improves all the said mechanical properties.

Convection in Compressible Dusty Fluids
Authors: Kumar Pardeep
Published: July 2022

The aim of the present research was to study the thermosolutal convection in compressible fluids with suspended particles in permeable media. Following the linearized stability theory, Boussinesq approximation and normal mode analysis, it is found that that stable solute gradient introduces oscillatory modes which were non-existent in its absence. For the case of stationary convection, it is found that medium permeability and suspended particles have destabilizing effects whereas the stable solute gradient has a stabilizing effect on the system. This problem was further extended to include uniform rotation. In this case for stationary convection, the suspended particles are found to have destabilizing effect whereas stable solute gradient, rotation and compressibility have stabilizing effect on the system. The medium permeability has a destabilizing effect in the absence of rotation but has both stabilizing and destabilizing effects in the presence of rotation.

Authors: Khaoula Bouharati Imene, , Nasser-Dine Boubendir , Khaoula Bouharati , Slimane Laouamri
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Following excessive scarring, an accumulation of connective tissue in the liver causes fibrosis. This fibrosis is asymptomatic, but generates portal hypertension by deviation in intra-hepatic blood flow. When this destroys the hepatic architecture by inducing a dysfunction, it switches to cirrhosis. The factors involved are sometimes ill-defined. However, the most common are hepatitis B and C and alcohol abuse. The analysis of these factors is very complex. Methods: This study proposes an artificial intelligence tool, in particular artificial neural networks in data analysis. We consider risk factors as input variables to the system. We consider the risk of fibrosis as an output variable. Conclusion: When the learning of the network is carried out from the proper cases followed at our hospital service of Setif in Algeria, the transfer function created is adjusted to its minimum of errors. It then becomes possible to assign random values to the input of the system to read the risk of fibrosis at the output.

Published: July 2022

A number of environmental and contagious factors have been associated with subclinical mastitis (SCM), which is a common and costly problem for smallholder dairy farmers (SDF). We conducted a cross-sectional study on 118 cows in their first two months post-calving on 109 SDF in Kenya. The study objective was to investigate the relationships among various cow and farm management parameters and SCM specific to SDF. The stall floor comfort level was assessed through knee impact and wetness tests, and cleanliness on the leg and udder were also scored. Various mastitis prevention measures were also assessed (e.g., milking protocols, and use of teat dip and dry cow therapy). Individual quarter SCM was assessed on each cow using California Mastitis Test (CMT). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were fit to determine management factors associated with cow-level SCM. Farm-level, cow-level and quarter-level prevalence of SCM was 45.9% (50/109), 43.2% (51/118) and 21.9 % (103/471), respectively. The proportion of stalls scored as dirty was 33.1% while 49.1% of cows had dirty legs. Only 10.1% of farms were using either disinfectant teat dip or dry cow therapy (or both) to prevent mastitis. Low parity and poor stall hygiene were significantly associated with occurrence of SCM. At high daily milk yield, the probability of having SCM was higher in cows housed in a shed with a dirty versus clean alleyway, with no significant difference at low daily milk yield. From the study findings, we concluded that certain cow characteristics and comfort measures were associated with SCM and need to be incorporated in education plans for farmers in SDF.

Published: July 2022

Comparative analysis on the efficiency of separation of sequence of organic compounds via chromatography specifying the height equivalent to the theoretical plates has been carried out. Alongside with inert gas (nitrogen), water steam has been used as a mobile phase as well. It is shown that in the zones of low speed of mobile phase, the column efficiency slightly depends on the nature of applied carrier. Using water steam as a mobile phase instead of nitrogen in high speed allows increasing separation efficiency for 1.2-1.8 times. Moreover, the best results are observed when water steam is used. The symmetry of chromatographic zones with usage of mentioned mobile phases has been estimated as well. To confirm this, developed mixture (hexane, methyletylketone, benzol and chloroform) has been analyzed on “Triethylenglycol” polar fluid phase and on “Squalane” non-polar fluid. It was defined that when using water steam as mobile phases, the symmetry of chromatographic peaks dramatically improves, which promotes more precise separation of analyzed samples. The results of studies carried out allow concluding that when substituting non-polar mobile carrier-nitrogen for water steam, the column efficiency increases and separation improves as well.

Effectiveness of the well drainage area by changing horizontal well section
Authors:   “Oil-Gas Scientific Research Project” Institute, Azerbaijan Republic, Eyvazov J.M.
Published: July 2022

Currently, horizontal well technology is intensively applied in the oil industry. One of the main reasons for this is that the horizontal wells cover wider drainage zone than vertical ones, and daily oil and gas extraction with them is even higher. The paper basically reviews how the drainage zone has been transformed into the oil saturated area by changing the effective length of the horizontal well. The effect of the length change of that section has been specified by the total oil and gas production. Moreover, the paper analyzes how different horizontal wells are operated in different watercut degrees and tubing head pressure. Horizontal wells require less pressure drop than vertical ones and reduce the likelihood of such problems as water and gas coning, salinity and sand production as well.

Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry, Isayeva S.A.
Published: July 2022

Based on the gas dynamics laws, the method of gas well calculation considering the solid particles in the flow is offered. The equation for the motion of gas with solid particles in various operation regimes of gas well is suggested. Obtained equations allow to specify the velocity of upwardly moving gas stream considering the rate of solid particles, to define the most optimum conditions for the extraction of particles in the borehole of gas well. The impact of the main parameters of gas well in the extraction process of solid phase has been considered. It should be noted that the improvement of gas motion process in lifting tubes is seen, however, in this respect, it is necessary to consider all technological parameters of well operation. In such cases, the regulation process considering wellhead pressure is essential. While changing the gas motion velocity, the extraction from the well borehole with definite flow rate is seen. The velocity increase may create significant additional pressure in the reservoir, which can break down the bottomhole zone.

Published: July 2022

The Saami culture in the context of the development of ethno-cultural tourism in the Murmansk region is becoming a symbolic brand of the region and the subject of active use by representatives of the tourism industry and artisans — manufacturers of souvenirs. Souvenirization of the Sami culture has mixed consequences. On the one hand, it contributes to the presentation of the culture of the indigenous population, the revival of Sami crafts, local and ethnic entrepreneurship, the promotion of the brand strategy of the region, on the other hand, the adaptation of an ethnic souvenir to the demands of the tourism market leads to the transformation of tradition and various distortions of the Sami culture.

Authors:   Barents Centre of the Humanities of the Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Busyreva Elena V.
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the memories about moving in the 1930s–1940s of families with Finnish and German roots, whose representatives live in the Murmansk region. The oral history materials, as well as memoirs of relatives were used in the article. The stories contain interesting historical information. As a result of the analysis, common features were identified in stories about moving. It was revealed that for Finns and Germans the most significant event in the stories about moving was deportation on a national basis. The details in the description of the road also coincided. The bombings were most often mentioned. Although the memoirs are subjective in assessing events, they are valuable in that they not only contain historical details of everyday life that are not reflected in official sources, but also help to immerse into the atmosphere of a certain era.

Published: July 2022

Summary. Relevance. Ultrasonographic parameters of the anterolateral ligament (ALL), a recently described anatomical structure, are essential to have a starting point in its injury diagnostics.

Objective: to determine the ultrasonographic parameters of the normal ALL.

Materials and Methods. We studied 47 volunteers (94 joints) without a history of injuries of the knee joints with a multi-frequency linear sensor Philips HD-11 XE #USD0874946.

Results. The ALL was visualized in all 94 knee joints. The ALL looked like an anisotropic fibrillar structure and seemed to be symmetrical in 93.62% of patients. We were able to assess the integrity of the ALL in only 82.98% of the knee joints. The minimum thickness of the ALL was always in its meniscal part (1.43±0.54 mm). The thickest part was the area of attachment to the tibia (3.26±0.47 mm); the width of the tibial ALL attachment was 12.83±2.64 mm. The thickness of the ALL femoral attachment was difficult to estimate in most cases due to the braiding of the ALL and fibular collateral ligament fibers together. We could visualize the tibial and meniscal portion in 100%, femoral – in 95.74%, and menisco-tibial – in only 4.26%. There is a violation of the cortical layer integrity at the site of the tibial ALL attachment in at least one knee joint in 25.53% of patients without a history of injuries.

Conclusions. The contralateral knee joint ALL may be a valid reference for ultrasonographic comparison for the injured ALL. Ultrasonographic signs of the cortical layer discontinuity at the tibial ALL attachment are not indisputable symptoms of Segond fracture.

Materials and Methods. The peculiarities of the occurrence and development of infectious complications, their clinical manifestations, laboratory and anamnestic data after local administration of glucocorticoids in 56 patients aged 24 to 78 years were analyzed.

Results. 44 patients had moderate and severe subcompensated comorbidities. Betamethasone was the most commonly used for injections (32 patients, 57.2%). Glucocorticoids were administered intra-articularly to 43 (76.8%) patients: knee joint (37.5%), shoulder (25.0%), ankle (7.1%), hip (3.6%), elbow and 1st metatarsophalangeal (1 case each). In other cases (bursitis, enthesitis, etc.), glucocorticoids were administered paraarticularly. It was a single injection only in 32%; the rest of patients were injected 2 – 20 times. In 96% of cases, monocultures were microbiologically isolated (S.aureus in 52%). At the time of hospitalization, the acute stage of the infectious process was detected in 22 (39.3%) patients, subacute in 16 (28.6%), and chronic active fistula phase in 18 (32.1%). All cases of clinically similar manifestations are systematized into groups of symptom complexes – clinical variants: 1) abscess and/or phlegmon of paraarticular soft tissues, necrotizing fasciitis; 2) septic bursitis; 3) septic arthritis (synovitis); 4) septic destructive arthritis; 5) osteomyelitis.

Conclusions. We found no clinical differences depending on the drugs used. The most important reasons for the development of infectious complications are ignoring the principles of dosing, multiplicity and time intervals of administration, unreasonable repeated use, and the presence of serious subcompensated comorbidities, which should be considered as a relative contraindication and as a risk factor.

Representasi Perlawanan Kaum Migran Cina di Amerika Serikat dalam Film Ip Man 4: The Finale (Sebuah Pembacaan Poskolonial)
Authors: Bangsa Jantan Putra
Published: July 2022

Penelitian ini merupakan pembacaan poskolonial terhadap film Ip Man 4: The Finale dengan menggunakan kerangka pemikiran Edward Said dan Homi Bhabha. Film ini menceritakan tentang kehidupan orang-orang Cina di Amerika sejak era Gold Rush yang memicu terjadinya gelombang besar migrasi orang-orang Cina ke Amerika dan menyebabkan beragam konflik. Pemikiran Edward Said digunakan untuk menggambarkan konstruksi "Barat” dan “Timur”, sedangkan pemikiran Homi Bhabha digunakan untuk menjelaskan bentuk-bentuk perlawanan orang-orang Cina terhadap subjek Barat di Amerika. Berdasarkan pembacaan atas adegan-adegan, dialog, dan juga narasi dari teks film itu dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa film ini justru semakin mengukuhkan perbedaan subjek Barat dan subjek Timur yang saling membenci. Namun, ada subjek Barat maupun subjek Timur yang sejak awal bersikap ambivalen. Film Ip Man 4: The Finale, memang tidak mencoba mendamaikan hubungan saling membenci antara subjek Barat dan subjek Timur, masing-masing merasa lebih superior dibanding yang lain. Hal ini hanya menjelaskan bahwa “Barat” dan “Timur” bukan entitas tunggal dan monolitik.

The Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on Type 2 Diabetic Individuals: A Review of Current Evidence
Authors: Ashour Ahmed
Published: July 2022

As the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to cause havoc globally, many people have expressed the hope that things will become easier as more people are vaccinated against the virus. The pandemic has disproportionately affected certain sections of the global population, such as those living with type 2 diabetes, however, and this study thus aims to evaluate the effects of infection on individuals with type 2 diabetes, particularly those who are also smokers. The relevant review was thus done in two sections, one focusing on individuals with type 2 diabetes in general and the other examining people with diabetes who are also smokers. Twenty studies published between 2020 to 2021 were examined with respect to the impacts of SARS-CoV-2 on people with diabetes, including those who are also smokers. In general, people with diabetes were found to be more likely to be hospitalised when infected with SARS-CoV-2, as well as three times more likely than non-diabetics to have extreme outcomes such as requiring intensive care or even dying. The situation is a further 4.5 times worse for people with diabetes who are also smokers, creating profound economic implications faced for society.
Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 severely affects individuals with diabetes in terms of both health and logistics. A combination of SARS-CoV-2 infection and diabetes makes such individuals more susceptible to severe health outcomes, and these are further exacerbated by comorbidities such as smoking, underlying health conditions, ethnic and racial disparities, and a lack of access to high-quality health care.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age. Women with this syndrome may have infrequent menstrual periods due to excess androgen levels. It is important to make an early diagnosis in order to prevent early and late sequel of the syndrome. To assess the level of knowledge, awareness, prevalence and risk factors of PCOS among South Indian region, to identify factors that influenced the awareness, and to improve health care. This is a cross sectional online and offline study was conducted for a period of 8months (October 2021 to May 2022) among South Indian region womens whose age ranged between 18 to 45 years. Women demographic characteristics, reproductive health, knowledge, awareness, prevalence, risk factors of PCOS were analysed through an Online/Google form validated questionnaire. The outcomes of the study indicates that majority of the women 69.81 % (155) participants were under 20 years of age and 30.18% (67) were above 20 years of age, 73% (162) participants had good knowledge about PCOS, and 25.9% (42) participants were aware that menstrual irregularity is a symptom of PCOS. While only 16.2% (36) participants had believed that PCOS may lead to infertility, 13.1% (29) participants are believed that medications as treatment for PCOS, 3.2% (07) participants felt hypertension as risk factor of PCOS, 92.9% (206) participants felt none of them are risk factors of PCOS, and 41% (91) participants had believed that PCOS can treated with allopathy method. Conclusively, the present study observed that the current level of awareness on PCOS among the South-Indian population is still in low key though relatively better than past decades. With regard to knowledge and attitudes of PCOS, patients are still in the grey zone which could be overcome by extensive awareness programme. The present study emphasized the need to health education and awareness programmes to be incorporated in educational system improve to combat the low knowledge among rural population especially utilizing different sources, targeted approach to provide clear, appropriate and tangible information and preventive measures. Keywords: PCOS, excess androgens, menstrual irregularity, awareness, knowledge, prevalence and risk factors.

Published: July 2022

Concrete is the most widely used and versatile building material which is generally used to resist compressive forces. By addition of some pozzolanic materials, the various properties of concrete viz, workability, durability, strength, resistance to cracks and permeability can be improved. Many modern concrete mixes are modified with addition of admixtures, which improve the microstructure as well as decrease the calcium hydroxide concentration by consuming it through a pozzalonic reaction. In this work the concrete is replaced by the various percentages of rice husk ash. To study we have taken Rice husk ash, Fly ash as partial replacement of fine aggregate and cement, since the usage is common in the construction field. Using these constitutes M30 grade of concrete is designed with different mix proportions. These concretes shall be tested for finding compressive strength, split tensile strength for 7days, 14days and 28days using Indian Standard code books. These results were compared to M30 plane concrete and theoretical values.

Communalism has been a dominating factor of ‘secular’ India especially post-Partition and is often accompanied by deeply rooted religious prejudices resulting in vengeance and hatred. The communal violence at various times in the past half-a-century brings forward the barbarity exhibited in the name of religion. These incidents have captured the imagination of several filmmakers from time to time. One such film is Firaaq, which sheds light on the various contoursof Gujarat violence. The present paper analyses the women characters of the film to reveal the implications of communal disturbances on them and facilitate a discourse on the associated multi-layered ramifications. The focus is on how communal rampages shape or alter the experiences of women owing to their varied religions and class positions in the society.
Challenging the Savarna Articulation of Gender Equality: The Rise of Dalit Feminist Viewpoint
Authors:   ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, Tamralipta Mahavidyalaya, Senapati Surajit
Published: July 2022

The emergence of Dalit feminist viewpoint, as an autonomous force, in parallel to the dominant imagination of feminist politics in India led by the English-speaking upper caste/middle class savarna women, marks a paradigmatic shift in our doing of gender politics, which seeks to reformulate an alternative agenda of women’s emancipation by including the specificities of the lived realities of women belonging to marginalised social locations. It critiques the essentialist and monolithic imagination of the category of ‘woman’ and seeks to radicalise our approach to the question of women’s liberation by pluralising the personal experiences of women belonging to different socio-political backgrounds. It foregrounds the intersectionality of caste, class and gender locations of women as an analytic tool to diversify the ways in which women are oppressed and exploited on the daily basis. It demands broadening of the contours of feminist imagination by stressing on the role of family, community, education, sexuality in sustaining gender norms and caste hierarchies that keep women within the ascribed roles of childbearing and nurtures of families. The role of caste as the producer of social hierarchies, perpetuator of gender discrimination and material exploitation is examined from the inersectionality of caste, class and gender in order to formulate an inclusive feminist framework to provide a rightful space to the lost voices of marginalised Dalit women. The paper foregrounds and analyses the collective fight of Dalit women for restoring equality, subjectivity, autonomy and dignified identity from the interlocked points of the caste, class and gender locations, thus underscoring the need for launching a holistic critique of the social, political and economic structures that subordinate women and relegate them to the margins of society.
