Published: November 2021

Cette recherche s’intéresse au rôle des espaces de concertation comme levier d’appropriation des projets de changement en contexte public. Les nombreuses réformes qui ont remodelé depuis 30 ans l’action publique ont attribué aux managers publics un rôle décisif dans la modernisation des collectivités territoriales. Nous questionnons dans cet article la capacité de la concertation à s’affirmer comme un levier pertinent de régulation des paradoxes de l’action publique qui s’expriment à l’occasion de projets de changement. Nous mobilisons dans cette optique une recherche-intervention de 36 mois au sein du CCAS (Centre Communal d’Action Sociale) d’une collectivité locale. L’objet de concertation concerne l’évaluation des pratiques professionnelles liées à l’admission d’un résident en EPHAD. Nos résultats mettent en relief plusieurs paradoxes organisationnels auxquels s’expose la direction du pôle seniors : le paradoxe de l’organisant, le paradoxe de l’apprentissage, le paradoxe identitaire et le paradoxe de la pratique. Sur le plan théorique, notre recherche enrichit la littérature sur les paradoxes organisationnels en soulignant le rôle de la concertation dans leur régulation. Sur le plan empirique, nos résultats soulignent dans le contexte des collectivités locales le rôle des espaces de concertation comme vecteur de construction du sens, lieu de questionnement de la prescription, lieu de production identitaire et espace d’apprentissage inter-organisationnel. Les limites de ce travail tiennent à ce que la concertation est ici envisagée essentiellement dans le cadre de changements imposés et non émergents. Enfin, la discussion esquisse quelques pistes sur l’ingénierie des espaces de concertation qui pourront probablement être approfondies dans le cadre de recherches futures.
Allez, les pères !

Published: November 2021

À partir d’une recherche sur trente couples hétérosexuels, cet article interroge les conditions sociales de l’investissement des pères dans le travail domestique et parental, entre genre et classe. Il souligne le rôle des horaires de travail décalés, qui conduisent les pères à se trouver seuls à la maison, ainsi que des situations d’hypogamie. S’ils déploient un travail spécifique de sécurisation du présent et de l’avenir, les pères adoptent aussi au quotidien un rôle d’auxiliaire de leur conjointe. Leur participation résulte d’un travail de socialisation et d’enrôlement réalisé par les mères, qui s’ajoute à la charge domestique et parentale de ces dernières. L’article s’intéresse enfin à la dynamique des relations de pouvoir et des arrangements, parfois conflictuels, au sein des couples : si l’économie des sentiments conjugaux peut générer, à la faveur de crises, un surcroît d’enrôlement des pères, elle contribue le plus souvent à perpétuer les inégalités de sexe dans la sphère privée.
Increased Near Vision Spectacle Dependence of Patients With Preoperative Myopia After Mix-and-Match Implantation of Trifocal EDOF and Trifocal IOLs
Authors: Kim Jung Wan , Eom Youngsub , Yoon Eun Gyu , Song Jong Suk , Jeong Ji Won , Park Seh Kwang , Kim Hyo Myung
Published: November 2021

PURPOSE:

To investigate the factors affecting near vision spectacle dependence after mix-and-match implantation of the trifocal extended depth of focus (EDOF) and trifocal intraocular lens (IOL).

METHODS:

A total of 204 eyes of 102 patients who underwent mix-and-match implantation of one trifocal EDOF and one trifocal IOL were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into two groups according to spectacle dependence for near vision: reading glasses and no glasses. Clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the odds ratio of factors potentially associated with the need for reading glasses.

RESULTS:

Eighty-one patients (79.4%) did not need reading glasses and 21 (20.6%) did. The mean age of the no glasses group (55.6 ± 5.6 years) was significantly higher than that of the reading glasses group (52.7 ± 4.1 years). Preoperative refractions were more myopic in the reading glasses group than in the no glasses group. The postoperative uncorrected near visual acuities were better and the satisfaction scores were higher in the no glasses group compared to the reading glasses group. Multivariate binary regression analysis revealed that only pre-operative spherical equivalent (odds ratio: 1.397;
P
= .025) was related to the spectacle independence for near vision.

CONCLUSIONS:

Patients who had preoperative myopia and underwent mix-and-match implantation of trifocal EDOF and tri-focal IOLs tended to need spectacles for near vision. Surgeons should be aware of patients with myopia when considering mix-and-match implantation of trifocal EDOF and trifocal IOLs.

Lessons Learned from COVID-19: The Youth Sports World Going Forward
Authors: Subramanyam Venkat , Kinderknecht James
Published: November 2021

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic profoundly impacted athletes and organizations of all ages and calibers. As optimism grows and restrictions lift, the mindset of youth sports shifts to prospection. Using the lessons learned during the cancelled, postponed, or modified 2020-2021 season, stakeholders should envision a different playing field moving forward. The void of youth sports highlighted the many values it brings to athletes physically, mentally, and socially. The regionality of sport during the pandemic highlighted resource and funding disparities among communities. Consideration must be given to the overall health of the student-athlete and how to return to competition and spectatorship safely and responsibly. The pandemic required youth sport to collaborate with public health with the hope of creating a semblance of normalcy in upcoming seasons.

Expansive flows on uniform spaces
Authors: Ku Se-Hyun
Published: November 2021

In this paper we study several dynamical properties on uniform spaces. We define expansive flows on uniform spaces and provide some equivalent ways of defining expansivity. We also define the concept of expansive measures for flows on uniform spaces. We prove for flows on compact uniform spaces that every expansive measure vanishes along the orbits and has no singularities in the support. We also prove that every expansive measure for flows on uniform spaces is aperiodic and is expansive with respect to time-\begin{document}$ T $\end{document} map. Furthermore we show that every expansive measure for flows on compact uniform spaces maintains expansive under topological equivalence.

We prove the stability of optimal traffic plans in branched transport. In particular, we show that any limit of optimal traffic plans is optimal as well. This result goes beyond the Eulerian stability proved in [7], extending it to the Lagrangian framework.
Boundary stabilization for a star-shaped network of variable coefficients strings linked by a point mass
Authors: Boughamda Walid
Published: November 2021

This study is concerned with the pointwise stabilization for a star-shaped network of \begin{document}$ N $\end{document} variable coefficients strings connected at the common node by a point mass and subject to boundary feedback dampings at all extreme nodes. It is shown that the closed-loop system has a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions which forms a Riesz basis for the state Hilbert space. As a consequence, the spectrum-determined growth condition fulfills. In the meanwhile, the asymptotic expression of the spectrum is presented, and the exponential stability of the system is obtained by giving the optimal decay rate. We prove also that a phenomenon of lack of uniform stability occurs in the absence of damper at one extreme node. This paper reconfirmed the main stability results given by Hansen and Zuazua [SIAM J. Control Optim., 33 (1995), 1357-1391] in a very particular case.

Multi-robot path planning is a hot problem in the field of robotics. Compared with single-robot path planning, complex problems such as obstacle avoidance and mutual collaboration need to be considered. This paper proposes an efficient leader follower-ant colony optimization (LF-ACO) to solve the collaborative path planning problem. Firstly, a new Multi-factor heuristic functor is proposed, the distance factor heuristic function and the smoothing factor heuristic function. This improves the convergence speed of the algorithm and enhances the smoothness of the initial path. The leader-follower structure is reconstructed for the position constraint problem of multi-robots in a grid environment. Then, the pheromone of the leader ant and the follower ants are used in the pheromone update rule of the ACO to improve the search quality of the formation path. To improve the global search capability, a max-min ant strategy is used. Finally, the path is optimized by the turning point optimization algorithm and dynamic cut-point method to improve path quality further. The simulation and experimental results based on MATLAB and ROS show that the proposed method can successfully solve the path planning and formation problem.
Évaluation des éco-quartiers : pour quelle intégration territoriale dans le contexte carioca ?
Authors: Doussard Claire
Published: November 2021

La propagation des éco-quartiers à travers le monde est notamment due à la multiplication du nombre de référentiels d’évaluation des projets, qui procurent une réponse technique à une demande politique nationale et locale d’aménagement durable. Ces derniers, souvent standardisés, sont en outre susceptibles d’être exportés à l’international, indépendamment du milieu naturel et culturel dans lequel ils s’appliquent. Au Brésil, plusieurs référentiels étrangers, tels que l’américain LEED-ND, et le brésilien AQUA B&L établi à partir du référentiel français HQE-A, contribuent ainsi à l’évaluation et à la certification de projets d’éco-quartiers, notamment à Rio de Janeiro. Ainsi, l’article interroge la production des quartiers durables dans le contexte carioca, au prisme de l’utilisation de référentiels d’évaluation et de leur impact sur le territoire. L’étude de l’éco-quartier d’Ilha Pura, mettra en exergue les divergences entre la demande politique, la réponse technique associée aux référentiels, importés ou non, et la réalité du terrain une fois le projet construit. L’étude révèle ainsi que quelle que soit la composition des référentiels établis à partir d’une demande politique de développement durable, ou les évaluations obtenues par les projets, ceux-ci n’ont en fait que peu d’influence sur la performance réelle des quartiers et sur leur intégration territoriale.
Revisiting Knowledge Management System Use
Authors: Veeravalli Suchitra , Vijayalakshmi V.
Published: November 2021

Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) are adopted with the aim of facilitating knowledge flow within the organization. However, it is seen that member participation on these platforms is limited. The objective of this work is to identify aspects that influence intention to seek knowledge on KMS. Antecedents to knowledge seeking behaviour were identified through a morphological review of literature. A conceptual model was proposed based on the Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour. Structural Equation Modelling was used to assess the adequacy of the model. Results show that seeking happens when the individual has an intrinsic motivation to learn and when the quality of knowledge available on KMS is perceived as having high content value. Interestingly, we find that top management has no bearing on one’s intention to seek. Findings reveal that HR activities need to identify people management practices, such as hiring people with a curious disposition and promoting seeking as a positive behaviour. KM practices need to focus on stimulating curiosity and learning amongst members.
The Relationship Between Persuasion Cues and Idea Adoption in Virtual Crowdsourcing Communities
Authors: Daradkeh Mohammad
Published: November 2021

Building on the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) and absorptive capacity, this study develops a four-dimensional model of idea adoption in Virtual Crowdsourcing Communities (VCCs) and examines the influence of different persuasion cues on idea adoption. The research model was tested using hierarchical logistic regression based on a dataset from the Tableau community. The results show that both community recognition of users and community recognition of ideas are positively related to idea adoption. Proactive user engagement has a significant positive impact on idea adoption, while reactive user engagement has no significant impact. Idea content quality, represented by idea length and supporting arguments, has an inverted U-shaped relationship with idea adoption. Community absorptive capacity positively moderates the curvilinear relationship between idea content quality and idea adoption. These results contribute to a better elucidation of the persuasion mechanisms underlying idea adoption in VCCs, and thus provide important implications for open innovation research and practice.

Authors: Eglite Sintija , Berzina Astrida , Knite Māris
Published: November 2021

Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and highly structured carbon black (CB) composites are promising for self-regulating heating materials, especially, were flexibility is needed. Two types of EVA-CB composites were made. Firstly, non-cross-linked EVA-CB composite was made with different CB concentrations and secondly, cross-linked EVA-CB composite with dicumylperoxide (DCP) as the cross-linking agent. Different concentrations of DCP were used. Samples were tested in two ways – by heating them internally (by applying 5V voltage) and externally (by heating in universal heating oven). The electro-thermal properties (including PTC effect) were determined.

Published: November 2021

Supported 3wt%Pd/α-Al₂O₃ catalyst was tested in selective oxidation of 1,2-propanediol by molecular oxygen. It was found that the catalyst is active in an alkaline water solution. Lactic acid was obtained as the main product of the reaction. Influence of different reaction conditions on 1,2-PDO conversion and oxidation process selectivity was studied. Partial kinetic orders of the reaction with respect to 1,2-propanediol, c0(NaOH), p(O2), n(1,2-PDO)/n(Pd)) were determined and an experimental kinetic model of the catalytic oxidation reaction was obtained. Activation energy of the process was calculated and was found to be about 53 ± 5 kJ/mol.
Study of Chromatographic Properties of Catecholamines and their Acidic Metabolites Using Novel Molecularly Imprinted Polymers as Stationary Phases
Authors: Podjava Antons , Šilaks Artūrs
Published: November 2021

Quantitative analysis of catecholamines and their acidic metabolites can provide vital information for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases (such as adrenal tumors). However, complicated purification protocols are usually required to isolate the analytes. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have attracted considerable attention as a method of selectively separating desired compounds from their matrix. Therefore, we propose a synthetic procedure for new molecularly imprinted sorbents that possess selective binding sites for both catecholamines and their acidic metabolites. The new polymer utilizes non-covalent and semi-covalent imprinting methods. The binding properties of MIPs were evaluated using chromatographic experiments. The results suggest that the MIPs bind with catecholamines much more selectively than with their acidic metabolites. Therefore, increasing sorption selectivity of the acids would make it possible to perform simultaneous extraction of both compound groups.

Analytical method has been developed and validated to determine free or leachable furfural concentration in wood-based panels. Particleboards obtained from birch wood and suberinic acids binder were chosen as a reference material. Two methods and two solvents were tested. Acetone extracts of the samples were analyzed with gas chromatography (GC) flame ionization detector system. Water extracts were analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet spectroscopy (HPLC-UV) system. After the GC data in acetone extracts furfural concentration was below method limit of detection. HPLC-UV data showed that in water extracts furfural concentration was possible to determine. It was concluded that HPLC-UV is suitable and fast method for furfural determination in wood-based panels water extracts.

Published: November 2021

The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of birch outer bark (BOB) extraction solvents on the antioxidant properties of the obtained dry extracts, which were added in cosmetic product emulsions. Extracts obtained in ethanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol and ethyl acetate as well as one purified in ethanol by means of recrystallization were used as antioxidant additives, in 30 and 60 mg·g-1 concentrations, to cosmetic water-in-oil type emulsions. It was found that raw extracts had a considerably higher antioxidant stability than purified ones, because the raw extracts showed a higher phenolic compound content. The highest stability was detected in the cosmetic sample, which had a raw BOB extract obtained in 2-propanol. At the additive concentration of 60 mg·g-1, the protection factor was 20.6 times higher than in the case of a blank sample. Among other solvents used, 2-propanol showed the best solubility for BOB extract phenolic compounds, the content of which reached 3.58 wt% from the oven dry extract. It could be concluded that raw BOB extracts act as an excellent antioxidant additive in cosmetic emulsions.

Published: November 2021

Combined coaxial-circular waveguide equipped with protective module allowing the transmission of microwave energy of three magnetrons with the output of 0.9 kW per each into the pressurized reaction chamber and capable of operating at temperatures of up to 250 °C and a pressure of up to 10 bars was designed and tested. Choke flange junction of the waveguide sections was used instead of contact flange connection. The developed waveguide construction allows to place the radio transparent partition inside the free space volume of a choke flange junction performing protection of emitters and summing of microwave energy of three magnetrons with an efficiency close to 100% that was proven by tests with fresh water as a microwave energy absorber. The extraction set-up equipped with the above-mentioned waveguide has demonstrated the stable and safety operation of the transmitting block and the accurate automatic control of the temperature and pressure inside the reaction chamber in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field. The construction of the microwave extraction set-up allows to use the impact of the combination of temperature and pressure on the cell wall, promoting the high rate isolation of secondary metabolites from biomass that was demonstrated by water extraction of black alder bark.
New and little-known Canadian Lasioglossum (Dialictus) (Hymenoptera: Halictidae) and an emended key to species
Authors: Gardner Joel , Gibbs Jason
Published: November 2021

A revised key to the 94 species of Lasioglossum (Dialictus) currently known to occur in Canada is presented, incorporating new species and taxonomic updates since the publication of the first key in 2010. Two new species, Lasioglossum (Dialictus) immigrans and Lasioglossum (Dialictus) onuferkoi, are described from Canada. Lasioglossum (D.) ascheri, L. (D.) stictaspis, and L. (D.) tegulariforme are reported or confirmed from Canada for the first time. Lasioglossum (D.) gaudiale (Sandhouse, 1924) and L. (D.) helianthi (Cockerell, 1916) are resurrected from synonymy with L. (D.) tegulariforme (Crawford, 1907). The following five new synonymies are established: L. (D.) stictaspis (Sandhouse, 1923) (= L. (D.) albuquerquense (Michener, 1937)); L. (D.) ascheri Gibbs, 2011 (= L. (D.) curculum Gibbs, 2011); L. (D.) helianthi (Cockerell, 1916) (= L. (D.) imbrex Gibbs, 2010); L. (D.) megastictum (Cockerell, 1937) (= L. (D.) punctiferellum (Cockerell, 1937)); and L. (D.) obnubilum (Sandhouse, 1924) (= L. (D.) lilliputense Gibbs, 2010). Previously undescribed males of L. (D.) helianthi, L. (D.) reasbeckae, L. (D.) tegulariforme, and L. (D.) weemsi are diagnosed and figured.

Authors: Ghaffari Reza , Barijani Sahar , Alivand Arash , Latifi Golshan , Ghassemi Hamed , Zarei-Ghanavati Mehran , Djalilian Ali R.
Published: November 2021

Purpose:

To investigate the effects of topical and perilesional interferon alpha-2b as primary treatment for ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN).

Methods:

In this prospective interventional case series, topical interferon alpha-2b (3 MIU/mL) was used as the initial treatment of OSSN, with perilesional interferon alpha-2b (3 MIU/mL) added based on clinical response. The primary outcome was complete tumor resolution. Spearman's rank correlation test was used to investigate the association of complete tumor resolution and time to resolution with baseline tumor characteristics and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification for OSSN.

Results:

Ninety-two patients (92 OSSN tumors) were included in the study. The total follow-up duration was 13.57 ± 2.14 months (median: 12, range: 3–23). The median basal tumor diameter was 4 mm (mean: 4.13 ± 1.37). Complete tumor resolution was achieved in 89 cases (96.73%), with a median time to complete tumor resolution of 5 months (mean: 4.64 ± 1.92). Complete tumor resolution was 57 of 57 in T1 (100%), 8 of 9 in T2 (88.88%), and 21 of 23 in T3 (91.30%). There were statistically significant correlations between AJCC classification and complete tumor resolution (Spearman's r = −0.22, P = 0.03) and maximal basal tumor diameter and the time to complete resolution (Spearman's r = 0.35, P = 0.001). There were no recurrences during the study follow-up period.

Conclusion:

Topical interferon alpha-2b is effective and well tolerated as a primary treatment for OSSN, with a high rate of tumors responding completely to therapy.

Background

Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is a clinical syndrome characterized by abnormal neurobehavioral status of the newborn.

Aim

This study was conducted to evaluate the role of MRI in identifying vascular causes of NE.

Patients and methods

The study was conducted on 50 full-term neonates admitted to the neonatal ICU at Alexandria University Children’s Hospital with clinical picture suggestive of encephalopathy. MRI examinations were performed on a 1.5-T General Electric (GE) machine.

Results

In the current study, the causes of non-hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy NE were categorized into six groups, each group displayed specific MRI features. P value was calculated, and the results revealed that MRI was successful in reaching the final diagnosis with P value of 0.045, confidence interval 95%, and RRF=1.385.

Conclusion

Those with vascular insults had 1.39 times the rate of reaching a final diagnosis compared with those with nonvascular insults.

Published: November 2021

We report an unusual presentation of a 10-month-old girl with left eye (LE) redness and watering. Evaluation showed an iris vascular lesion and lens opacity in her LE. Child underwent USG B-scan and ultrasound biomicroscopy, by which an extensive mass lesion arising from iris and ciliary body with absent calcification was revealed. Following extensive evaluation, child underwent cataract extraction and trans-scleral total excision of the mass lesion. Histopathology proved it as juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) with vascular proliferation. JXG is a rare benign self-limiting dermatologic disorder affecting mainly infants and small children. Ocular lesions are the most common extracutaneous manifestation. Cataract in JXG is less frequently reported. This case is reported due to its rarity and as it presented solely as an intraocular lesion with combined diffuse infiltration into ciliary body and cataract which is unusual. Early recognition and systematic approach helped in sight saving and organ salvaging.

Comparison of the effects of Presynch-Ovsynch, Presynch- Ovsynch+CIDR, and G6G protocols on the reproductive performance of lactating Holstein cows in the postpartum period
Authors: Kohsari Hesam , Berenjian Khatereh
Published: November 2021

This study was performed on an industrial dairy farm near Tehran province, Iran, on 666 lactating Holstein cows from September 2019 to June 2020 in order to eliminate the harmful effects of heat stress on the reproductive performance of the cows. The hypothesis of the recent study was that by increasing the serum concentration of progesterone (P4) in the luteal phase before insemination in the form of Presynch-Ovsynch+CIDR (POC) and G6G protocols, the pregnancy rate of cows would be increased compared to the Presynch-Ovsynch (PO) protocol. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Presynch-Ovsynch (PGF2α-14d- PGF2α-12d-Ovsynch (OVS: GnRH(GnRH1)- 7d-PGF2α(PG)-2d-GnRH)-18h-Fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI), n=212), Presynch-Ovsynch+CIDR (similar to the PO protocol, plus the use of a CIDR for 7 days, from the start of the OVS+FTAI protocol to the time of PG injection, n=230), and G6G (PGF2α- 2d-GnRH-6d-OVS+FTAI, n=224) protocols on the reproductive performance and pregnancy rate of lactating Holstein cows. The average body condition score (BCS) for the cows was about 2.5 at the time of the onset of the OVS+FTAI program. The average daily milk production for cows at the time of the start of the OVS+FTAI program was 38.3 kg/day. On average, the studied cows were inseminated 86 days postpartum. Implementation of the G6G protocol in comparison to the PO and POC protocols increased the serum concentration of P4 at GnRH1 (P=0.04). The cows that received the G6G protocol had a greater number of corpuses luteum (CL) on their ovaries at PG in comparison to the cows in the PO and POC protocols (P=0.03 and P=0.05, respectively). For all treatment protocols, the pregnancy rate of cows with >2 CLs on their ovaries at PG was significantly higher than for cows with ≤2 CLs on their ovaries at this time. The overall pregnancy rate for all cows studied was 42%. Separately, pregnancy rates for cows in PO, POC, and G6G protocols were calculated at 36.7%, 41.7%, and 47.3% respectively. The highest and the lowest pregnancy rates were obtained in the G6G and PO protocols, respectively (P=0.03). It can be concluded that the G6G protocol increased the pregnancy rate of cows in comparison to the PO but not to the POC protocol. This result can be attributed to the increase in serum concentration of P4 at GnRH1 and the greater number of CLs at PG following implementation of the G6G compared to the PO protocol. Although CIDR administration in the POC protocol led to an increase in the pregnancy rate of cows compared to the PO protocol, possibly by increasing the synchrony rate and the quality of the ovulatory follicle, this increase was not statistically significant (P=0.09).

In view of the growing importance of the dairy sector, especially for the livelihood of the rural population and the increasing demand for milk by the Indian population, higher yield of milk animals and milk availability have become the focal point of attention. This study aims to identify the determinants of dairy production in India by examining the relationship of crossbreed and buffalo populations with the quantity of milk production across different Indian states. Fifteen major Indian states were included in this study and relevant secondary data from 2001 to 2019 was taken for analysis. The sources of statistical data are BAHS (GOI), Statistical abstract, NDDB website, etc. Coarse cereal, fodder crops, grazing land, artificial insemination and veterinary services have an influence on the total milk production of the Indian states, and the significance of these impacts were tested by pooled OLS regression analysis. Crossbreed cows, indigenous cows, buffalo and goat populations were tested with the Spearman’s rho correlation test, and these variables were also found to have a positive correlation with the quantity of total milk production (TMP). The study was further extended to compare the population strength of the crossbreed and buffalo, their growth rate and ultimately the status of average milk production across the major Indian states during the period 2001 to 2019. Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab and Andhra Pradesh were found to have healthy production of milk. However, Bihar and Rajasthan were found as promising states. States like Orissa, Kerala, Uttarakhand and West Bengal were found to have certain points of concern.

Today, nano-systems, especially multi-functional inorganic nanoparticles, attract a lot of attention in the biomedical field. Nickel nanoparticles, known as inorganic nanoparticles in nanotechnology and known as metallic nanoparticles with an important place, show antibacterial properties. The fact that nickel nanoparticles find use in areas requiring human contact leads to nanoparticle synthesis with biological systems. Thus, more environmentally friendly structures emerge. In this study, nickel nanoparticles were synthesized for the first time by biosynthesis using Peumus boldus extract. Structural, chemical and morphological properties were examined by UV-vis, FTIR, XRD, and SEM methods. Extract obtained from Peumus boldus was used as reducing agent in the synthesis of nickel nanoparticles. In addition, the antibacterial activities of the obtained nickel nanoparticles were investigated against E. coli and S. aureus.

Günümüzde nokta koordinatları GNSS tekniğiyle de belirlenmektedir. Yüksek doğruluk gerektiren uygulamalarda GNSS tekniklerinden bağıl konum belirleme teknikleri yaygın olarak tercih edilmektedir. Bağıl konum belirleme yöntemlerinden statik ölçü ve bu ölçülerin değerlendirilmesinde ise farklı uydu konfigürasyonları kullanılmaktadır. İlk olarak sadece GPS (G) uyduları kullanılırken, zamanla farklı kurum ve kuruluşlar tarafından geliştirilen önce GLONASS (R) daha sonra GALİLEO (E) uydu sistemleri ile nokta koordinatları belirlenmeye başlanmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada, GALİLEO uydu konfigürasyonunun nokta koordinat ve konum doğruluklarına etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda 6 adet IGS-MGEX istasyonundan oluşan bir jeodezik ağ oluşturulmuştur. Seçilen ağa ilişkin 31 günlük ( 01-31.08.2017) 24 saat RINEX verileri Bernese v5.2 Bilimsel GNSS değerlendirme yazılımında ikili farklar yöntemi ile G, G+R ve G+R+E farklı uydu konfigürasyonunda değerlendirilmiştir. Karşılaştırmada ITRF2014 (2010.00 referans epoğu) koordinatları hız değerleri ile ölçü epoğuna kaydırılarak elde edilen koordinatlar gerçek değerler olarak alınmıştır. Daha sonra koordinat eksenleri yönündeki karesel ortalama hatalar (koh) ve konum doğrulukları hesaplanarak istatistiksel olarak birbirleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Karşılaştırma sonucunda ise G, G+R ve G+R+E uydu konfigürasyonları ile elde edilen konum doğrulukların %95 güven aralığında birbirleri ile uyuşumlu olduğu belirlenmiştir.
Electrifying Ride-Hailing in the United States, Europe, and Canada: How to Enable Ride-Hailing Drivers to Switch to Electric Vehicles
Authors: Lazer Leah , Wachche Sadanand , Sclar Ryan , Cassius Sarah
Published: November 2021

Efforts to reduce transportation emissions through electrification can accelerate their impact by focusing on intensively used vehicles. Vehicles driven on ride-hailing platforms such as Uber and Lyft are intensively used, and their distinct charging patterns can support the development of essential electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. However, vehicles used for ride-hailing are often missed by actions to electrify other intensively used vehicles, and an array of disparately available financial incentives, EV models, and charging options produce a complicated landscape where it is often unclear whether an EV costs more or less than an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle or is suitable for ride-hailing. As a result, in U.S., European, and Canadian cities, the share of EVs among vehicles used for ride-hailing is often lower than or similar to the share of EVs in the overall vehicle stock. This paper identifies the largest barriers that prevent ride-hailing drivers from accessing EVs and analyzes ways that governments, industry and other stakeholders can tackle those barriers. It includes city scorecards that evaluate 10 U.S., European and Canadian cities on their progress towards dismantling these barriers, using an original methodology and data from Uber.

Subklinik mastitis, en yaygın gözlenen önemli yangısal sürü hastalıklarından birisidir. Çalışmamızda bu hastalığın tanısında süt ve kanda amiloid A (AA) ve C-reaktif protein (CRP) parametrelerinin yeni bir tanı seçeneği olarak ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma laktasyonun farklı dönemlerinde bulunan toplam 40 adet Holstein ırkı sağmal inek üzerinde yürütüldü. Strip kap muayenesinin ardından süt ve meme muayenesinde herhangi bir fiziksel bozukluk gözlenmeyen meme loblarına subklinik mastitis (SCM) tanısı amacıyla Kaliforniya Mastitis Testi (CMT) uygulandı. CMT’de sadece Ş ve +1 skorlar SCM pozitif olarak çalışmaya dahil edildi. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda 2 grup oluşturuldu; Grup I (n=40), CMT yönünden her 4 meme lobu da negatif olan ineklere ait serum ve süt örnekleri, Grup II (n=40)’ye ise CMT’ye göre pozitif olan serum ve süt örnekleri dahil edildi. Süt ve kan serumunda amiloid A ve CRP düzeyinin belirlenmesinde ticari ELISA kitleri kullanıldı. Çalışmada, ortalama AA düzeyleri sağlıklı olan serum ve süt örneklerinde sırasıyla 0,685±0,006 ng/ml; 0,665±0,007 ng/ml; SCM olanlarda ise sırasıyla 2,04±0,064 ng/ml ve 1,848±0,06 ng/ml belirlendi (p

Impulsivity has been shown to be related to both substance- and non-substance addictions. In the case of internet gaming addiction, on one hand, higher impulsivity and sensation seeking have been reported in problematic online gamers. On the other hand, problematic online gamers were also identified as introverted, socially anxious, and generally inhibited in social behaviour. This review study tried to investigate and correlate the role of dysfunctional impulsivity and sensation seeking in gaming addiction. Online gamers completed a questionnaire that was advertised online and targeted the core of the gaming community. Internet gaming addiction was measured using the Addiction-Engagement Questionnaire. Dysfunctional impulsivity was measured using the 11 items of Dickman’s (1990) sub-scale of the Impulsivity Inventory. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated for variables and a regression model was constructed using hierarchical linear regression to determine the association between online gaming addiction and dysfunctional impulsivity, while controlling for age, gender, and the frequency of online gaming. A set of chi-square tests were employed to compare the patterns of addiction criteria among highly impulsive addicted gamers and non-impulsive addicted gamers. Dysfunctional impulsivity was a good predictor of gaming addiction (β = .252) which actually explained only about 7% of the addiction variance. Problematic gamers high on impulsivity had similar patterns of addiction criteria as non-impulsive gamers, with only one exception – they had a significantly higher tendency to relapse. There was no role of impulsivity in gaming engagement. The results suggested that dysfunctional impulsivity is a risk factor for online gaming addiction (similar to other addictions), but it does not have prominent explanatory value in itself. Also the results show that problematic gamers high on impulsivity are more prone to relapse and reinstatement.

Makalah ini adalah berkaitan dengan perubahan tradisi penempatan masyarakat Melayu Brunei di kawasan pantai barat Borneo Utara (1881-1941) dan impaknya terhadap sosioekonomi masyarakat ini semasa zaman pentadbiran British North Borneo (Charted) Company (BNBC). Tujuan utama makalah ini ialah untuk menjelaskan perubahan serta pengekalan penempatan masyarakat ini selepas tamatnya pemerintahan Kesultanan Brunei. Pengambilalihan BNBC terhadap Borneo Utara menyebabkan wujudnya pemisahan pemerintahan di antara masyarakat Melayu Brunei di Borneo Utara dengan masyarakat Melayu di negara Brunei Darussalam dalam aspek sosial dan ekonomi. Perubahan dan pengekalan penempatan inilah yang akan cuba dibahaskan dalam penulisan ini adalah bagi memahami ajukan masyarakat Melayu Brunei wujud sebagai sebuah entiti masyarakat yang berbeza daripada masyarakat Melayu yang berada di negara Brunei Darussalam.
