THE INTERRELATIONSHIP OF ASSESSMENTS OF AUTHORITY, EMOTIONAL ATTRACTIVENESS
AND PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TEACHERS BY STUDENTS
Authors: ANDREYEVA I. , IVANOVA Y.
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the relationships between students' assessments of the authority, emotional attractiveness and
personal qualities of teachers. The method of semantic differential “The teacher through the eyes of a student” and the
author’s questionnaire, consisting of 28 communicative and activity qualities, were used. The Spearman correlation analysis
method was used to process the data.
As a result of using the author’s questionnaire, significant positive strong correlations were found: 1) students’
assessments of emotional attractiveness and authority with assessments of the teacher’s communicative qualities (commitment,
expressiveness, foresight, fairness, optimism, sociability, tolerance), and activity qualities (competence, activity,
initiative, artistry, critical thinking, observation and stress resistance); 2) between assessments of emotional attractiveness
and communicative qualities of a teacher: goodwill, sincerity, friendliness, tact and sensitivity, as well as between
assessments of emotional attractiveness and activity quality – creativity; 3) between assessments of the teacher’s authority
and his active qualities, such as determination, passion for science, high efficiency, determination, hard work, perseverance,
independence.
Based on the results of applying the semantic differential, positive strong correlations were identified at a reliable
level: between assessments of emotional attractiveness, authority and the following activity traits of the teacher: “Highlights
the main thing”, “Complies with logic in presentation”, “Erudition”, “Arouses interest among the audience”,
“Interested in student success”, “Objectivity in assessing knowledge”, as well as communicative traits: “Presents the
material clearly, accessible”, “Monitors the audience’s reaction”, “Demonstrates clarity of diction”, “Goodwill and
tact”, “Respect for students”, “Patience”; between assessments of emotional attractiveness and the following communicative
traits of a teacher: “Can relieve stress”, “Explains complex issues”; between assessments of authority and the
following active qualities: “Asks questions, discusses”, “Useful of the material in the future”, “Demandingness”.

Հոդվածում առաջին անգամ քննվել են Հովհ. Շիրազի «Անի» պոեմում գործածված նորակազմ բառերը, որոնք հեղինակային նորաբանություններ են: Նրանց մի մասը դիպվածային բառեր են՝ ստեղծված պահի թելադրանքով և արտահայտչական նկատառումներով, ուստի ընդհանրանալու միտում կարող են և չունենալ, բայց կան նաև ներունակ կազմություններ։
For the first time, the paper examines the new words, which were used in the poem “Ani”. Some of them are occasional words; there are also immanent formations.
В статье впервые были рассмотрены новообразованные слова, использованные в поэме Ов. Шираза «Ани», являются авторскими нововведениями. Некоторые из них являются окказиональными словами, созданными исходя из момента и выразительным соображениям, поэтому они могут не иметь тенденции к обобщению, но есть и потенциалные образования.

Hz. Peygamber’in (s.a.s) mübarek vücut özellikleri, yaratılışı, güzel ahlâkı ve yaşayışı siyer edebiyatı ve Türk-İslâm edebiyatının konusu olmuştur. Şemâil, hilye, mevlid, mi’raciye olarak isimlendirilen bu edebî metinlerden hilyenin 17. yüzyıldan itibaren hat levhaları şeklinde yazılması meşhur olmuş ve hilye, hat sanatının da bir türü olarak günümüze kadar gelmiştir. Hz. Peygamber’e olan muhabbetin, onu görme özleminin bir tezahürü olarak nitelendirebileceğimiz hilyeler Türk ve İslâm toplumunda da önemli bir yer edinmiştir. Osmanlı kültüründe her evde bir hilye-i şerîfe levhası bulundurmak ya da hilyeleri daha küçük bir şekilde yazarak üzerinde bulundurmak adet haline gelmiş, insanlar bunun kendilerini her türlü şerden, fakirlikten, hastalıktan, belâ ve afetlerden muhafaza edeceğine inanmışlardır. Bazı eserlerde Hz. Peygamber’i temsil eden gül motifini ya da Kâbe, na’l-i şerîf, kadem-i şerîf, hırka-i şerîf gibi tasvirlerin hilye metinleri ile kullanıldığını görmek mümkündür. Bu çalışmada Osmanlı Arşivi’nde yer alan tasvirli ve ilginç tasarımı olan bir hilyenin yazı içerikleri ve tasvirleri ayrıntılı olarak incelenecektir.

Published: June 2024

Silindir içinde yanma sonu oluşan yüksek basınç ve sıcaklıktaki gazlar yapısal ve termal yüklere neden olmaktadır. Termal yüke maruz kalan piston, çalışma sırasında sıcaklık değişimleri nedeniyle termal gerilmelere de maruz kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Renault F8Q706 motoru için seçilen 3 farklı piston malzemesi için sıcaklık dağılımı, 2500 dk-1 motor hızında ve tam yük koşullarında sonlu elemanlar metodu (SEM) hesaplanmıştır. Bu piston malzemeleri alüminyum alaşım-6061, yapısal çelik ve magnezyum alaşım-AZ91D’ dır. Analizlerde, yanma sonu yüksek basınç ve sıcaklığa maruz kalan piston yüzeyleri incelenmiştir. Hesaplamalarda silindir içi sınır şartları, bu motor için 1-Boyutlu (1B) olarak Ricardo-Wave yazılımı ile oluşturulan motor modelinden ve literatürden alınmıştır. Pistonun 3-Boyutlu (3B) çizimi SolidWorks yazılımında ve SEM analizleri ANSYS Steady State Thermal modülünde yapılmıştır. Analizler sonunda, pistonun yüzey sıcaklıkları ile piston yüzeyi ve komşuluğundaki gazların ısı transfer performansları hesaplanmıştır. Analizlerde, 1B motor modelinde hesaplanan silindir içi yanma sonu ortalama gaz sıcaklığı 1238,8 K iken, yapısal çelikte 1310,4 K ve magnezyum alaşım-AZ91D’ de ise 1372,9 K olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu sıcaklıklar, kullanılan her malzeme için benzer sıcaklık dağılımı göstererek, yanmaya direkt maruz kalan piston üst yüzeyi ve hemen alt yüzeyinde en yüksek değerlerde, piston etek bölgesinde ise en az değerlerde hesaplanmıştır. Piston malzemesi olarak kullanılan alüminyum alaşım-6061 malzemesinin pistondaki ısıl yayılımı arttırdığı görülmüştür.

Published: June 2024

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, requiring diverse management strategies. This study, conducted at Kamal Al-Samarrai Hospital Fertility Center/Baghdad from January to March 2023, included 80 Iraqi women aged 18-45, comprising 40 with PCOS and 40 healthy controls. Hormonal markers (FSH, LH, T, PRL, Ca2+, and Vitamin D3) were systematically assessed, along with Apa1 gene polymorphisms in whole blood genomic DNA using PCR-RFLP. PCOS patients showed significantly elevated LH, LH/FSH, T, and PRL levels (p < 0.01) and lower Vitamin D and calcium levels (p < 0.05) compared to controls. The scrutiny of VDR gene Apa1 polymorphism uncovered a notable prevalence of "Aa" and "aa" genotypes among PCOS patients, constituting 65.00% and 25.00%, respectively, in contrast to the control group's 17.50% and 0.00% in controls. The "aa" allele, more frequent in PCOS, emerged as a potential risk factor for the condition. This study establishes a strong association between VDR gene (Apa1) polymorphism and PCOS, highlighting the significance of the "aa" allele. It emphasizes the homozygous variant genotype "aa" as a substantial risk factor for PCOS, providing insights into its genetic basis.
Revealing the Hidden Benefits of Dust for Photovoltaic Performance in Hot Climates

Published: June 2024

This study investigates the combined impact of temperature and dust on the performance of a photovoltaic (PV) system. The investigation took place during the summer of 2022 in Baghdad (33.28°N, 44.39°E), known for its extremely high temperatures. Two distinct scenarios were examined: a dusty day and a dusty panel (typically occurring after a dusty day). The research initially compared the performance of clean and dusty PV modules under severe summer conditions and later extended its analysis to the on-grid PV system of the Renewable Energy and Environment Research Center building. The results reveal that temperature predominantly reduces voltage, while dust primarily diminishes current. However, during dust storms, temperatures significantly drop below their average, potentially leading to an increase in PV output. This creates a dual effect where the negative impact of temperature is partially offset by dust because dust mitigates the ambient temperature, resulting in a relatively smaller decrease in PV output. This phenomenon is most pronounced at high temperatures. For instance, the loss ratio for a clean module was 24%, whereas for a dusty module, it was 6%, highlighting this beneficial impact of dust. However, at low and moderate temperatures, dust continues to have a detrimental effect. This finding is significant for optimizing PV system efficiency in similar environmental contexts.

Published: June 2024

Enterobacteriaceae are Gram-negative bacteria that have many mechanisms to survive in contaminated environments. Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of them that express efflux pump genes in the presence of heavy metals, like AcrAb and OqxA genes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the existence of efflux pump genes in K. pneumoniae, and heavy metal contamination in the Tigris River. By comparing important indicators to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, this study aims to analyze the river's water quality. It focuses on detection of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), iron (Fe), and cobalt (Co). Fifteen samples of the Tigris River near the Al-Dura project of water remediation were obtained and cultured on selective media, and the water quality parameters, like TSS, TDS, TH, pH, turbidity, EC, BOD, COD, OD, TOC, and heavy metals, were estimated. Bacterial DNA was extracted, then efflux genes were detected with the presence of heavy metals in the tested samples. Results illustrated that K. pneumoniae gave positive results in nine of the total fifteen samples, and the water quality parameters were within the normal ranges, except for elevated levels of DO and TOC, and decreased levels of BOD and COD, with a significant relationship among heavy metal levels with both AcrAB and OqxA genes at a significance level of p ≤ 0.05.

Authors: Ramirez Celeste Florencia
Published: June 2024

Este artículo se propone analizar la producción tecnopolítica del cuerpo en la era farmacopornográfica, siguiendo las propuestas teóricas de Paul B. Preciado. En primer lugar se presenta el régimen disciplinario donde los procedimientos de vigilancia y control son exteriores al cuerpo. En un segundo momento, se analiza la constitución de un régimen somatopolítico de subjetividad, denominado farmacopornográfico, en el cual se utilizan tecnologías microprostéticas de control. A continuación, se señalan las principales tecnologías que crean, reproducen y consolidan un determinado sujeto y corporalidad en la era farmacopornográfica. Finalmente, se plantea la hipótesis de que, a pesar de la producción biopolítica masiva de ideales heteronormativos, es posible una salida desde el interior de las identidades sexuales.

Published: June 2024

El presente artículo ofrece un acercamiento conceptual para la creación de un instrumento de educación ciudadana encaminado a combatir la corrupción, y alentar a la ciudadanía y a los gobernantes hacia una conducta ética. Se parte, para ello, de los cuatro fundamentos o virtudes ético-socráticos que se refieren a la esfera de lo individual, estadio necesario para la consolidación de una sociedad y gobierno encaminados hacia el bien. Siguiendo esa línea, se propone luego la conceptualización del instrumento educativo ciudadano desde la teoría de la filósofa norteamericana Marta C. Nussbaum. Finalmente, se concreta la exposición teórica en pautas prácticas para la construcción e implementación de tal instrumento en escenarios de aprendizaje como el hogar y la escuela.

Önkéntesség nemzetközi szinten
Authors: Molnár Zsolt
Published: June 2024

A nemzetközi önkéntesség az önkéntes segítség olyan formája, ahol a tevékenység más földrajzi országban valósul meg, gyakran a résztvevő önkéntesek és a küldő szervezet kultúrájától eltérő társadalmi-gazdasági környezetben. Ez a sajátosság döntően meghatározza a nemzetközi önkéntesség értelmezési keretét, hatásmechanizmusát, valamint – ezekkel összefüggésben – nehézségeit és kockázatait is. A nemzetközi önkéntesség több jelentős változáson ment át a kialakulása óta eltelt egy évszázadban. A fejlődő országok altruista indíttatású gazdasági támogatása mellett célként megjelent a társadalmi mobilitás elősegítése, az értékalapú fejlesztéssel párhuzamosan kialakultak az élményalapú önkéntesség új formái. Mára több síkon és dimenzióban mozgó, komplex tevékenységgé vált. A nemzetközi önkéntesség bemutatása során ezért kifejezett célom a téma átfogó, a változásokat megjelenítő keretezése és értelmezése. A tanulmányban először bemutatom a nemzetközi önkéntesség kialakulását, történelmi hátterét, definícióját és fontosabb fogalmi kontextusait, majd ezekből levezetem egyéni, társadalmi, gazdasági és politikai szinten jelentkező szerepeit és hatásait, továbbá szakmai kapcsolódásait (humanitárius segélyezés, nemzetközi fejlesztés). Összefoglalom az önkéntesek, a küldő országok, illetve a recipiens társadalmak számára jelentkező előnyöket és veszélyeket, beleértve a nemzetközi önkéntesség gyakorlatával szemben megfogalmazott kritikai diskurzusokat.

Evaluation and Accreditation in the Bulgarian Higher Education: Problems and Solutions during Digital Transformation
Authors: Totkov George , Kostadinova Hristina
Published: June 2024

Creating criteria, qualitative and quantitative indicators used at evaluation and accreditation of objects in higher education, based on the so called “criteria systems”, along with methodologies and procedures, requires analysis of concrete problems. Ten basic problems of the accreditation system in the Bulgarian higher education system are presented in this work. Some problems followed by changes in the Higher Education Law, according to which the work of the Higher Education Institutions, standing committees, and groups of external reviewers at NEAA raised by 50%. Aiming to reduce the number of activities and overcoming the subjectivity when the accreditation grades and recommendations are formed, it is necessary to create common model of a criteria system and to design a software platform (in the form of the electronic platform of the NEAA), used to plan and conduct the corresponding procedures. Effective solutions to the main problems and the reduction of the workload of the accreditation procedures are possible, only based on the accelerated digitalization of higher education. Common elements of the model of the criteria system and the corresponding digital platform are based on solutions, not all of them unambiguous, of the discussed problems.

Published: June 2024

Background/Aims: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent medical concern among pregnant women. Timely identification and management of GDM can mitigate the potential for maternal and fetal complications. The present study aimed to explore the maternal characteristics that may result in an isolated elevation in the 50 g Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) results (Pre-GDM condition) and to assess the impact of Pre-GDM status on fetal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective trial included 177 pregnant women and 177 infants. All pregnant women who applied to the antenatal clinic were screened for GDM. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with abnormal GCT (50 g levels) but normal 100 g-OGTT results (study or Pre-GDM group) and those with normal 50 g results (control group).
Results: The advanced maternal age (AMA) rate was higher in the study group. (14.80% vs. 4.80%, p=0.028). There was a difference between the groups in maternal weight measurements at the first pregnancy visit. The rate of overweighted patients (more than 80 kg at the first pregnancy visit) was higher in the Pre-GDM group (35.20% vs. 5.80%, p<0.001). The rate of fetal macrosomia was higher in the Pre-GDM group (10.20% vs. 0, p<0.05). It was determined that the neonate's head circumference (HC) was larger in the Pre-GDM group (35.15 vs. 34.69, p=0.029) Emergent (primary) cesarean section (C/S) rate with cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) indication was higher in the fetal macrosomia group (p<0.05). The power of the current study was determined as 87%
Conclusions : According to study result the patients in the Pre-GDM group is at risk of fetal macrosomia, which increases the risk of C/S. In overweighted and patients over 35 years old, 75 g OGTT may be more sensitive in detecting glucose metabolism disorders.

A abdominoplastia representa um procedimento cirúrgico fundamental na reconstrução e aprimoramento do contorno corporal, sendo particularmente valorizada após eventos significativos como grandes perdas de peso ou gestações. Este procedimento é amplamente reconhecido por sua eficácia em restaurar a estética abdominal, contudo, como ocorre com todas as intervenções cirúrgicas, está associado a riscos de complicações que podem afetar profundamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Diante desta realidade, o presente artigo dedica-se a uma análise detalhada e abrangente sobre como as diferentes técnicas cirúrgicas utilizadas em abdominoplastias influenciam a incidência de complicações pós-operatórias. Para este fim, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura, examinando estudos publicados em bases de dados confiáveis até o ano corrente. Através desta análise, dados relevantes foram extraídos e comparados, focando-se nas complicações mais frequentemente observadas, tais como seromas, hematomas, deiscência de sutura e infecções. Os resultados deste estudo indicam variações consideráveis nas taxas de complicações, que parecem estar intrinsecamente ligadas às técnicas cirúrgicas adotadas, às competências e à experiência do cirurgião, bem como às particularidades individuais dos pacientes. O estudo sublinha a importância crítica de escolher cuidadosamente a técnica cirúrgica a ser empregada, reforçando a necessidade de uma avaliação pré-operatória meticulosa e de um acompanhamento pós-operatório rigoroso e detalhado, com o objetivo de minimizar os riscos envolvidos e garantir uma recuperação segura e eficaz. Em conclusão, ressalta-se que a seleção adequada das técnicas cirúrgicas, aliada à experiência do cirurgião, desempenha um papel crucial na diminuição da incidência de complicações em abdominoplastias, sugerindo que abordagens individualizadas e bem planejadas são capazes de proporcionar não apenas segurança, mas também resultados estéticos e funcionais superiores para os pacientes.

Authors: Amin Ghada Essam El-din , Abdel Rahman Salwa Mostafa Mohammad , Mohamed Rehab Mohamed Ali , Allam Mohamed Farouk
Published: June 2024

Background: the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global healthcare and economic systems. The clinical manifestation of the disease varies from flu-like symptoms to severe pneumonia and, in some cases, death. Melatonin and its metabolites play a crucial role in immunomodulation and possess anti-oxidative properties, capable of directly and indirectly scavenging reactive oxygen species. Objective: the aim of the present systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of melatonin in the management of COVID-19 patients and its role in expediting the return of patients to their baseline health. Methodology: the literature review was conducted up to August 2022, resulting in the identification of 533 articles after sorting them by authors and year of publication. Following the removal of 223 duplicate articles, 310 abstracts were screened, leading to the exclusion of 281. Subsequently, 29 full-text studies were evaluated for eligibility, with 22 being excluded. Finally, seven studies met the inclusion criteria and were included for further qualitative and quantitative analyses. Results: the findings revealed a noteworthy reduction in hospital stay among patients who received melatonin compared to those who received a placebo (standardized mean difference: -0.50, Standard error: 0.15, 95% CI: -0.80, -0.20, P value: 0.001). Melatonin was associated with a significant decrease in mortality in COVID-19 patients when compared to the placebo (Pooled RR: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.56, P value: 0.002). However, there were no significant differences between melatonin and placebo regarding the need for hospitalization, ICU admission, artificial ventilation, and the requirement for oxygen therapy. Conclusion: melatonin may decrease the mortality rate among patients with COVID-19. Melatonin may reduce the duration of hospital stay in patients with COVID-19. Melatonin had no effect on the following outcomes in COVID-19 patients: the need for hospitalization, ICU admission, artificial ventilation and the need for oxygen therapy.
Democratic Equality Requires Randomly Selecting Legislators
Authors: Shoemaker Eric
Published: June 2024

In this paper, I argue that on an equality-based theory of democracy's value, randomly selecting legislators is more democratic than electing them. In sections 1 and 2, I describe how a legislature composed of randomly selected legislators might operate and what an equality-based theory of democracy's value consists in. In section 3, I evaluate arguments made in support of election-based democracy by democratic theorists and demonstrate why these arguments fail on their own terms. In section 4, I argue that when compared to electing legislators, randomly selecting legislators better answers to four democratic ideals embedded in equality-based theories of democracy's value.
Can There be Romantic Love Without Jealousy?
Authors: Gallegos-Ordorica Sergio A.
Published: June 2024

This article examines the exchange between Montoro and Sor Juana about the nature of jealousy and its connection with romantic love. First, it shows that, while Montoro's position echoes Augustine's view of love, Sor Juana's position has strong parallels with views held in the courtly love tradition. Second, the article considers Sor Juana's responses to Montoro, which aim to establish that jealousy is not inherently wrong (as Montoro holds) and that it cannot be severed from love. Finally, the article shows that Sor Juana's insights provide support for those who defend the importance of jealousy in human life.
Ahmed Cevdet Paşa'nın Askerî Tarihçiliği
Authors: Karakuş Sadık Emre
Published: June 2024

Devlet adamlığının yanı sıra alanında ilk olan eserler kaleme alan Ahmed Cevdet Paşa (1823-1895), Türk tarihçiliğinde klasik vakanüvis geleneğinin ötesine geçerek bugün kullandığımız anlamda tarih metodolojisi ve bilimsel disipline yakın usuller kullanan ilk müverrihlerimizdendir. İlmiye kökenli olan Cevdet Paşa’nın geniş kaynakça kullanımı, kaynaklardan yararlanma tarzı, kaynakları tenkite tabi tutması, metin inşası, meselelere mukayeseli yaklaşımı ile kendine has üslubu onu kendinden öncekilerden ayıran başlıca özelliklerdendir. Askerî tarih alanında yazdıkları da yine ilk örnekler olmasının yanında pek çok istisnayı ihtiva eder. Ancak Cevdet Paşa’nın askerî tarihin alanına giren metinleri, bugüne kadar bilimsel araştırmalara konu edilerek öne çıkan özellikleri ortaya konulmuş değildir. Literatürdeki boşluk nedeniyle bu çalışmada, Osmanlı Devleti’nin 19. yüzyılda yetiştirdiği önemli münevverlerin başında gelen Ahmed Cevdet Paşa’nın özgeçmişinden ve eserlerinden kısaca bahsedildikten sonra bilhassa Tarih-i Cevdet adlı eseri üzerinden Cevdet Paşa’nın askerî tarih yazımındaki ayırt edici özelliklerinin ortaya konulmasına gayret edilmiştir. On iki ciltlik Tarih-i Cevdet adlı eserin esas alınmasının sebebiyse Cevdet Paşa’nın 1774-1826 yılları arasındaki olayları kaleme aldığı tarih yazıcılığındaki en iyi uygulamaları görebileceğimiz yegâne eserin bu olmasıdır. Ortaya çıkan sonuçlar itibariyle Cevdet Paşa’nın esaslarını belirlediği temel ordu modeliyle askerî teorisyen olarak ifade edilebilecek seviyede askerî konulara hâkim olduğunu ve muharebe anlatımlarında uyguladığı metodolojiyle de Türk askerî tarih yazıcılığında dönüm noktası teşkil edecek ilk örnekleri kaleme aldığını ifade etmek mümkündür.

Published: June 2024

This study focuses on the heaving motion of a float in waves, where the oscillator moves reciprocally along the central axis. Assuming that the damping force of the linear damper is directly proportional to the relative velocity of the float and the oscillator, a motion model for the float and oscillator is established. By applying the principles of mechanics and dynamics, a mathematical analysis model for wave energy devices under heaving motion conditions is developed. Utilizing planning concepts and multi-threading technology, Java is employed to calculate the relevant data, and Python is used for data visualization to achieve simulation effects. In the process of solving and analyzing the related models, the masses of the central axis, base, and separator, as well as various frictional forces, are neglected. A mathematical model for wave energy devices undergoing only heaving motion is established. Based on the force analysis model, force equations for the float and oscillator are derived, and Newton's second law is applied to solve for the relevant accelerations. Differential equations are then used to further determine the associated velocities. Finally, displacement equations are established to solve for the trajectories of displacement versus time and velocity versus time.

Published: June 2024

As a key component of automobile suspension, damper plays a decisive role in the performance of suspension. In order to improve the comfort and stability of vehicle, it is especially important to conduct further study on the performance of the damper. In this paper, the hysteretic behavior of twin-tube hydraulic adjustable damper (twin-tube HAD) widely used in the market is deeply studied. The modeling of the fluid cavitation mechanism and its effect on the damping output characteristics of the twin-tube HAD are analyzed. The process of cavitation in the twin-tube HAD is studied by studying the compressibility of the mixture and the structure of valve port. The results show that the generation of cavitation bubbles mainly come from complex valve system, the more complicated the structure of the valve port, the greater the possibility of cavitation. The volume of cavitation bubbles increases over time during the operation of the twin-tube HAD.
Study on the influence of groundwater recharge on pile foundation of high-speed railway bridge
Authors: Liu Jingchen , Huang Chuan , Wang Yaxin
Published: June 2024

Under the action of deep groundwater recharge, the ground settlement can be moderated, which indicates that deep groundwater recharge can not only effectively control the ground settlement, but also cause the expansion of deep soil, thus leading to the uplift of the ground. Based on this, this paper uses the fluid-solid coupling method to control groundwater recharge flow to analyze the long-term settlement characteristics of typical elevated pile foundation on the North China Plain under the action of recharge. Numerical analysis shows that the elevated pile foundation has a change of uplift and subsidence under the coupling action of upper load and deep recharge, and the uplift becomes more obvious with the increase of the depth of recharge point. However, the increase of horizontal displacement will also lead to the opposite result, and the final settlement is determined by both of them. In addition, it is also affected by the flow of recharge load. The greater the flow of recharge load, the greater the uplift of elevated pile foundation. The results can provide reference for the settlement prediction of pile foundation.

Authors: Guo Yanyu , Han Jiaxu , Li Zhouzhen
Published: June 2024

Due to the bad environment and the poor anti-corrosion effect of reinforced concrete, cross-sea bridges is easy to cause bridge damage. Therefore, to ensure that the cross-sea bridge reaches a normal service life, a series of anti-corrosion measures must be taken to deal with reinforced concrete. This paper aims at the corrosion problem of cross-sea bridges and researches the protection effect of different anti-corrosion measures. At the same time, this paper provides a detailed understanding of the corrosion principles, application scenarios, and actual prices, based on which a comparative analysis of the whole-life costs of optional additional anti-corrosion measures is carried out. The paper concludes that the corrosion of concrete has both physicochemical effects and that the corrosion of steel reinforcement is dominated by the involvement of iron in the primary cell reaction. External coating protection can be applied to completed bridges, and corrosion-resistant reinforcement and concrete as well as applied current protection methods can be used for bridges under design. This paper analyses the corrosion of cross-sea bridges in general situation, systematically describes the respective corrosion mechanisms of steel and concrete in the marine environment, points out the specific advantages and shortcomings of the various types of corrosion protection measures for steel and concrete, and proposes that protection should be increased at the time of design rather than spending a large amount of money on repairs after the corrosion damage happened. Also, provide a guide in the design and maintenance of the overseas bridges.
Numerical simulation of double-row pile-NPR anchor cable support based on ABAQUS
Authors: Jia Shengyan , Li Xiaochen
Published: June 2024

With the development of urban architecture, research on deep foundation ditch support is of great significance. The current anchor cables used for foundation ditch support are all traditional steel materials, which have the disadvantages of high cost and serious waste. NPR (Negative Poisson's ratio effect) anchor cables have the characteristics of high strength, high toughness, and resistance to large deformation. Currently, they are widely used in tunnel support engineering, but research on deep foundation ditch support is rarely involved. Therefore, this article uses ABAQUS software to establish a numerical model of double row pile-NPR joint support to explore the effect of NPR anchor cables on deep foundation ditch support. Research has shown that: (1) The front piles share a larger soil pressure, while the rear anchor piles play a dual role in supporting soil and pulling anchors. (2) The NPR anchor cable increases the horizontal pull-out resistance of the double row pile support structure, limits the horizontal displacement of the support structure, and enables the foundation ditch to meet its deformation requirements, indicating that it can effectively support the foundation ditch.

Saxenda (liraglutide) is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic weight management in adults with obesity. We present the case of a 44-year-old woman with grade 2 obesity who was treated with liraglutide for weight reduction, initially well-tolerated. Despite a brief pause in liraglutide treatment for 5 days due to hospitalization, she developed, after the reintroduction of this treatment, a localized reaction characterized by maculopapular erythema and pruritus at the injection site. Skin tests revealed an acute positive reaction to liraglutide. Literature suggests variability in allergic reactions among glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, highlighting the need for further research. Our case underscores the importance of individualized management in treating adverse reactions to liraglutide in obese patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus.
