APLICAÇÃO DA ANÁLISE DE WEIBULL DAS CAUSAS CONCORRENTES PARA CONFIABILIDADE DE PROCESSO EM UM PROCESSO DE CARREGAMENTO DE NAVIOS
Authors: Farias Camila Katarina Pereira , Soares Werner Kleyson da Silva
Published: December 2024

A análise de confiabilidade é um campo fundamental para a gestão eficiente de processos industriais e operacionais, especialmente em ambientes críticos como instalações portuárias, onde a operação contínua e a minimização de falhas são essenciais para garantir a produtividade e segurança. O uso da distribuição de Weibull, associada à teoria das causas concorrentes de Paul Barringer, oferece uma abordagem que permite a visualização do comportamento dos processos, analisando as falhas e fornecendo informações para melhorar a confiabilidade de processos. Este artigo explora a aplicação da teoria de Weibull das Causas Concorrentes para visualizar o impacto causado por perdas de eficiência e utilização e falhas de equipamento nos resultados da taxa de carregamento, indicador que representa numericamente os resultados de produção em uma instalação portuária. A análise foi feita utilizando o software Isograph Availability Workbench 3.0, que dispõe da funcionalidade “Process Reliability” para dados de novembro de 2023 a outubro de 2024. O estudo foi divido em duas frentes, “INVERNO e VERÃO”, tendo em vista a influência de sazonalidade neste indicador. Os resultados gerados permitiram a determinação da capacidade demonstrada do sistema nestes dois períodos do ano, bem como a definição de metas coerentes alinhada à essa capacidade.

A cardiopatia congênita (CC) no adulto é uma condição cardíaca presente desde o nascimento que pode persistir até a idade adulta. A sobrevida depende da complexidade do defeito, do diagnóstico precoce e do tratamento. Os pacientes com CC que não recebem nenhum tratamento, ou não são diagnosticados em fases iniciais da vida, chegando à idade adulta apresentando sintomas de alterações cardiovasculares que representam novos desafios para a equipe assistencial. A comunicação interventricular (CIV), o defeito do septo atrioventricular (DSAV) e a estenose infundibular da valva pulmonar (EIVP) destacam-se por serem algumas das CC mais prevalentes, o que significa que um número significativo de pacientes pode ser portador das mesmas. Além disso, anomalias estruturais do coração que podem interagir entre si, tornando seu manejo clínico mais desafiador. O tratamento dessas condições depende da gravidade dos sintomas, da idade do paciente e de outras condições médicas subjacentes.

Introdução: Atualmente, as recentes diretrizes que regem a conduta diante de infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) a dicotomiza em infarto com supradesnivelamento de segmento ST (IAMCSST) e infarto sem supradesnivelamento de segmento ST (IAMSSST). Apesar dessa padronização simplificar e agilizar o tratamento de reperfusão cardíaca necessário para o paciente, novos estudos têm evidenciado um novo modelo e nova nomenclatura para esse paradigma, chamado de oclusão coronariana aguda (OCA) e ausência de oclusão coronariana aguda (NOCA), uma vez que este modelo não se limita a identificar apenas IAMCSST ou IAMSSST no exame de eletrocardiograma (ECG). Objetivo: Revisar nas literaturas disponíveis qual a tendência para o diagnóstico correto de uma oclusão coronariana aguda. Metodologia: Os métodos de pesquisa utilizados foram obtidos a partir de fontes secundárias adquiridas na base de dados eletrônica da National Library of Medicine (PubMed) e Instituto Dante Pazzanese, mediante revisão bibliográfica e análise de dados dos últimos 5 anos. Resultado: Foram encontrados 21 artigos na base de dados PubMed, dos quais 5 foram selecionados, além de 1 artigo do Instituto Dante Pazzanese, nos quais foram observados os grupos de estudos e seus respectivos resultados. Conclusão: A classificação de pacientes com síndrome coronariana aguda (SCA) como OCA e NOCA, permite que sejam identificados falsos positivos ou falsos negativos de IAM permitindo que os sistemas de saúde implementem intervenções e melhorias na qualidade de tratamento para o problema.

Authors: Abramovay João Gonçalves Pereira
Published: December 2024

A pesquisa procura um novo uso sustentável para os compostos que seriam descartados de modo incorreto. Devido as características químicas da borra de café possibilitar uma transformação da borra em biodiesel, a pesquisa focou em formas eficazes e sustentáveis de realizar isso, com o maior aproveitamento possível dos compostos. Para isso, foi realizada a extração de óleo de café presente na borra por meio de uma destilação de refluxo, com a utilização do extrator de Soxhlet. Posteriormente foi realizada uma reação de transesterificação deste óleo obtido do café com a intenção de convertê-lo em biodiesel. Além disso, a partir do restante da borra de café que resta da extração do biodiesel, foi realizada, através de uma carbonização, a obtenção do carvão ativado, seguida da ativação. Os resultados se demonstraram satisfatórios e abrem perspectiva para propor soluções para diversos problemas ambientais e sociais, entre eles a obtenção de um método de energia renovável, de modo que às energias fósseis sejam substituídas por métodos mais eficazes e sustentáveis, por meio de compostos que seriam descartados incorretamente. Além de utilizar o carvão ativado para solucionar outros problemas, como a limpeza da água em ambientes que não possuem saneamento básico.

Insulære gjenstander i norske vikingtidsgraver: på sporet av kristen misjon i Norge
Authors: Mikkelsen Egil
Published: December 2024

For a long time the interpretation of insular artefacts found in the context of Norwegian Viking Age has been that these resulted from plundering in the British Isles. To investigate this further, I have reviewed the Annals of Ulster for the period 795 to 1066 to see what they say about the Viking plundering in Ireland. Captives, sold as slaves, were most common, along with livestock, especially cattle. From churches and monasteries is mentioned a few times that the relics and relic caskets of Irish saints and book shrines were stolen and partially destroyed. Gold and silver were plundered from the rich monasteries of Clonmacnoise and Kells, but probably as raw materials. With references to my 2019 monograph "Looting or Missioning", I alternatively claim that the insular material has mainly come with Irish and other British missionaries to Norway. Such presence is documented in places like Selja and Kinn and the place names “Pape Fioerd” and “S Brigid”. From written sources we know that monks and bishops repeatedly directed their missionary activities towards central places in Scandinavia, but that they were often chased away or killed. The sacral objects they brought with them were then confiscated and ended up in pagan Viking Age graves in a local community, as more or less fixed sets of object types.
Gravfeltet på Mølen i Larvik – en saga i stein
Authors: Rolfsen Perry
Published: December 2024

The field is located on the large moraine at the mouth of the Langesund Fjord in Vestfold County. It comprises 26 large cairns up to 30 m in diameter and 45 m in length, and approximately 183 small cairns 1–2 m in diameter, all 6,5–20 m above sea-level. The great cairn D27 is 6,5 m above sea-level. Fifteen of the cairns have been excavated. The finds are few including remnants of a burnt ship burial in boat-shaped grave D100 C-14 dated to Roman Iron Age and Migration Period. The author suggests the crates in the large cairns represent either looting pits or a burial custom, and the small cairns are rests of trapping facilities for birds. The beach grave-field dates to early Iron Age and Viking Age and has its closest analogues in the grave-fields on the Jærkysten in Rogaland.

Mouth-Deposited Coins in Medieval Burials
The intentionally deposited coin in a late medieval grave in the ruins of St Mary's Church in Tønsberg raised issues such as: how common was it to be buried with coins in the medieval period, and who and why was someone buried with coins? It does not seem that the custom can be linked to gender, age or geography, and possibly not to social status. However, human remains with traces of diseases have been observed, and there are several children buried with coins. It may be that the dead were selected because they were vulnerable, both before and after death. The chosen ones may have been exposed because they died suddenly, and that the required rituals were not implemented. It may appear that the burial practice was linked to folk magic concerning revenants in combination with Christian beliefs about the afterlife.
Determinants of Poverty in Aceh Province: The Moderating Role of Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah
Authors: Syazalisma Cut , Majid M. Shabri Abd. , Suriani Suriani
Published: December 2024

This study examines the impact of the Human Development Index (HDI), labor force participation, and infrastructure expenditure on poverty levels in Aceh Province, with zakat, infaq, and Sadaqah serving as moderating variables. Utilizing secondary data, the research employs panel regression methods and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to analyze data collected from 23 districts and cities in Aceh Province over the 2008–2022 period. The findings reveal that the HDI and labor force participation rate do not significantly influence poverty in Aceh. However, infrastructure expenditure demonstrates a negative and statistically significant effect, indicating its potential to reduce poverty in the region. Furthermore, zakat, infaq, and sadaqah can moderate the effects of HDI and infrastructure expenditure on poverty but fail to moderate the relationship between labor force participation and poverty. Based on these results, it is recommended that the Aceh Provincial Government adopt more targeted and comprehensive strategies to alleviate poverty. Efforts should focus on enhancing the HDI and labor force participation rates, alongside optimizing the collection and allocation of zakat, infaq, and Sadaqah, and increasing infrastructure investment. Such measures can potentially address the persistent issue of poverty in Aceh Province more effectively

Over the past few centuries, the loss of wetlands has reached alarming proportions worldwide, and Hungary has been especially affected. Due to population growth and the expansion of industrial production, the demand for arable land increased, so rivers were dammed, the vast majority of our wetlands were drained and their place was taken by agricultural fields. Mohács Island is a typical example of intensive landscape transformation. The area formerly covered by floodplain forests and marshes has become a cultural landscape in which the habitat of natural ecosystems has become quite narrow. Our research examines and evaluates the changes in landscape use that have taken place from the second half of the 19th century to the present day, and provides a comprehensive picture of the transformation of landscape structure. The most important turning point was the beginning of the 20th century, when the island lost its natural character as a result of water control works, and its surface was dominated by fields rather than forests. This was accompanied by a decline in diversity. The landscape became more monotonous and indigenous associations were marginalised. Simultaneously, landscape-ecological relationships weakened, habitats became isolated from each other. One of the main aims of conservation is to restore the links between these areas and, where possible, former habitats. It is not possible to reconstruct the entire study area, but effective results can be achieved through locally feasible projects to enhance biodiversity.

Published: December 2024

Our studies were conducted at the Hungarian University of Agricultural and Life Sciences in Karcag, where in 2023, due to favourable precipitation and temperature conditions, we had the opportunity to study the phytomass yields of a massively reproducing annual Trifolium species in a saline soil condition. Yield measurements (green yield, hay yield, crude protein yield, dry matter yield) showed that in all cases higher yields were measured in the Trifolium angulatum-covered grassland than in the control grassland, and statistical analysis showed a close correlation in all cases. Through our studies, we aimed to provide new data on the specific floristic events in environmentally managed grassland in the Pannonian Basin from a farmer's perspective
Ásott talajvízkutak vízminőségének tér- és időbeli változásainak értékelése egy alföldi településen a CCME WQI vízminőségi mutató alkalmazásával

Published: December 2024

A települések talajvízkészletének elszennyeződése globális jelenség, melynek csökkentéséhez számos környezetvédelmi intézkedés szükséges. Tanulmányunkban települési környezetben 2013-2022 között hosszú távú monitoring keretében vizsgáltuk a szennyvízcsatorna hálózat kiépítését követő talajvízszint és vízminőség változásokat, mely során 40 települési talajvízkútból végeztünk rendszeres mintavételt. A talajvízszint csatornázás előtti (2013) és azt követő időszakban (2017, 2022) bekövetkező változásait a nyári, nagymintás mintavételezések során mért vízszintek alapján értékeltük. Megállapítottuk, hogy 2013-ban a talajvízszint a felszínhez igen közel húzódott (<3m). A talajvíz szintje a település belső részein húzódott legmagasabban, míg a legmélyebb vízállás a település déli területein volt mérhető. A 2017-ben és 2022-ben mért talajvízszintben a megszűnő szennyvízkiáramlás következtében erőteljes süllyedés következett be. A monitoring adatokat a CCME WQI vízminőségi index segítségével vízminőségi kategóriákba sorolva nagyfokú szennyezettséget mutattunk ki a csatornázás (2013) előtti évben, ugyanis a kutak döntő része szennyezett és erősen szennyezett kategóriába került. A csatornázást követő monitoring időszakban jelentős pozitív irányú változást mutattunk ki a legtöbb vizsgált vízkémiai parméterben (pH, EC, NH4+, NO2-, NO3-, PO43-, COD, Na+). Tematikus ponttérképek alapján megállapítottuk, hogy a terület egyre nagyobb része mutat megfelelő vagy jó vízminőséget. Ezt a diszkriminancia analízis is alátámasztotta, ugyanis 87.4% pontossággal az adott vízkémiai paraméterek alapján meghatározható, hogy az adott minta a csatornázás előtti vagy utáni időszakból származik-e. Azonban a csatornázást követően 8 év után, továbbra is magas a szervetlen nitrogénformák és szervesanyag koncentrációk értéke, mely azt indikálja, hogy a területen felhalmozódott szennyezőanyagok továbbra is jelen vannak. A tisztulási folyamatok dinamikájának megértéséhez szükséges a további, hosszú távú monitoring.

Implementasi APBN Berkelanjutan di Indonesia: Studi Konseptual dan Empiris
Authors: Badiul Hadi
Published: December 2024

This research aims to explore the concept of a sustainable State Budget (APBN) that supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia. A qualitative approach with a literature study or desk-document method was used to analyze the implementation of sustainable state budgets in various countries. Data was collected through a literature review that included journal articles, policy reports, and official documents from countries that have implemented this principle. The results show that sustainable state budgets must consider environmental, social and economic aspects, and integrate ESG (environmental, social and governance) principles in development planning and budgeting. Some implementation challenges are inter-sectoral coordination, measurement of relevant indicators, and accurate reporting. This study concludes that the application of ESG principles in the state budget and budget policies that support the energy transition can accelerate the achievement of SDGs and ensure future fiscal sustainability.

A partir del planteamiento de dos hipótesis de investigación: 1) el bosque constituye un reservorio importante de saberes locales para las comunidades indígenas de la Sierra Juárez de Oaxaca; y 2) el bosque mantiene un rol sociocultural en la vida de los habitantes. El objetivo fue analizar la percepción de los actores locales (comuneros) hacia una valoración social del bosque en las comunidades de Capulálpam de Méndez, La Trinidad, Santiago Xiacuí y Santiago Comaltepec en la Sierra Juárez de Oaxaca (SJO). En materiales y métodos se aplicó el muestreo simple aleatorio obteniendo una muestra de 165 comuneros a quienes se aplicaron encuestas, se completó con entrevistas a autoridades agrarias, así como la generación de cartografía digital. En resultados, cada territorio de las comunidades expresan unidades ambientales particulares y servicios ecosistémicos como son: agua, oxígeno y hábitat de fauna; además colecta de plantas medicinales, comestibles, entre otros, que aportan beneficios a la población; la valoración que perciben los comuneros del bosque está asociado a: formas de vida, bienestar social, trabajo y seguridad económica; esto fortalece su identidad cultural, mantiene sus recursos ecosistémicos y poseen una diversificación productiva del bosque. En conclusión, los actores locales tienen una percepción trascendental, pero diferenciada en algunos casos de la valoración social y cultural del bosque por los atributos que reciben, lo cual constituyen rasgos que fortalecen la forma de vida comunitaria.

Authors:   Department of Agricultural Entomology, Agricultural College and Research Institute, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India,, T Thiruveni
Published: December 2024

Microbial andherbivore induced phytochemical changes were studied in okra variety, Arkaanamika and hybrid, CoBhH1, againstshoot and fruit borer, Earias vittella. Induction was done either bymicrobial alone (microbial talc-based bioformulation Pseudomonas fluorescens(Pf1), Beauveria bassiana B2 isolate, Pf1+B2 consortia) or by bothmicrobial and herbivore (E. vittella infestation). Herbivore alone infestedplants served as infested control and undamaged plants left as absolutecontrol. Biochemical pathways encompassing induced resistance viz.,phenols and oxidizing defense enzymes such as peroxidase (PO), phenylalanineammonia lyase (PAL) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) were assessed to envisage thedevelopment of induced resistance. Accumulation of phenol was high in Pf1+B2consortia inoculated plants as against absolute control in variety, Arkaanamika and hybrid, CoBhH1. Inoculation with both microbial consortia and E.vittella caused 9.8 times increased accumulation of phenolics in ArkaAnamika and 8.6 times in CoBhH1. Defense enzymes activity was alsosignificantly higher in Pf1 + B2 consortia treated plants as against absolutecontrol. Further, infestation by E. vittella resulted in the enhancementof accumulation of phenols, induction of PO, PAL and PPO activity. In absolutecontrol, CoBhH1 had higher phenolic accumulation and increased activity ofdefense enzymes than Arka Anamika.

Among twenty three strains testedfor chitinolytic activity, 9 strains showed a clearing zone on chitin-amendedagar medium. Among these, entomopathogenic fungal strains ARSEF-6646, ARSEF-6647,ARSEF-6648, ARSEF-6650 and ARSEF 2417 Beauveria bassiana strainsproduced clearing zones of a size larger than 10 mm. The antifungal activity ofthese strains increased when chitin was incorporated into the medium. Whenmycelial discs of the pathogen were treated with the secondary fungal mycelia,the results indicated that antagonistic B. bassiana caused a higherlevel of lysis of the pathogen mycelium, and the inhibitory effect was morepronounced when the lytic enzymes were produced using chitin as carbon source.

Citrus cankerincited by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Hasse) Vauterin etal. is a serious disease of acid lime [Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.)Swingle] all over the world including West Bengal, India. The disease dependsmuch upon its secondary spread through rain splash, mechanical contact in stormyweather and leaf damage by citrus leaf minor (Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton).For controlling citrus canker the usual recommendation includes antibiotics andsome agrochemicals in the form of spraying. Little work has been reported onbiological management of the disease. An experiment was set up in a farmer’sfield (acid lime orchard), Nadia, West Bengal, using an inhibitory strain of Bacillussubtilis (S-12) during 2009-2010. Single spray of aqueous suspension (2.7 x109 cells/ml) of bacterialcells was spread on 5 batches (6 numbers of plants/batch) of plants keeping 4batches unsprayed. Per cent Disease Index (PDI) was recorded throughout theyear at every month using 0-4 scale from both treated and untreated plants.Initial PDI was also taken before one week of spraying. A single spray of thebacterial suspension during the peak season for disease that is in July hasresulted in a satisfactory decline of the disease. A sharp decline of thedisease was recorded at 20 days after treatment indicating that the sporeforming bacteria might have taken over on the leaf surfaces of the plants.

A Survey wasconducted in the cashew plantations of the Directorate of Cashew Research and
Karnataka CashewDevelopment Corporation at Puttur, Karnataka to observe the presence of entomopathogenicnematodes and fungi which could be potent natural enemies of cashew stem and rootborer, Plocaederus species. Entomopathogenic nematodes were obtained bybaiting them from soil samples using Galleria mellonella larvae. Out ofthe 110 soil samples collected from various cashew plantations, 10 soil samplesindicated the existence of nematodes, which was noticed by the mortality of waxmoth larvae due to infection. These entomopathogenic nematodes were identified byutilizing currently available molecular tools, four isolates matched with Heterorhabditisbacteriophora and two with Steinernema abbasi. The resultsrevealed that, field collected fungus, was pathogenic to laboratory rearedlarvae of cashew stem and root borers and was identified as Metarhiziumanisopliae (Metsh).

A laboratoryexperiment was conducted to evaluate the level of effects by differentconcentrations of indigenous entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae(Metsch.) Sorokin spores by dipping the non-target organisms, the silkworm,Bombyx mori L. in the fungus suspension at laboratory condition inRampur, Chiwan, Nepal. The selected most virulent fungus isolate, among 26 wastested at different concentrations of 107, 106, 105, 104, 103 and 102 number of spores per ml includinga control each replicated thrice to each of 30 fourth instar silkworm larvae.The mortality of silkworm larvae due to fungus started only after five days ofthe treatment and finally caused 70, 44.44, 28.88, 26.66, 23.33 and 3.33percent death of silkworm larvae with 107, 106, 105, 104, 103 and 102 spores per ml of fungal conidialconcentrations respectively. The larval body weight was significantly lowereven one day after treatment in the lots treated with 107 spores as comparedto other concentrations. On the third and fourth day of treatment, there was nosignificant difference in the body weight of silkworm larvae in all thetreatments. There was significantly lower weight in the lots treated with 107 spores afterfifth, sixth and seven days of treatment but after eighth days, there was nosignificant difference in the body weight with the treatments. The laboratoryresult indicated that even a small number of conidia of M. anisopliae (Metsch.)Sorokin caused mortality and was found hazardous to silkworms.

The pinkhibiscus mealy bug Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) is a seriouseconomic threat to agriculture, forestry and the nursery industries. Highincidence of it observed in the grape vineyards resulted in a poor fruitquality, declined crop yields and substantial economic loss. Hence it isnecessary to develop an effective formulation for its control. Althoughinformation about the sex pheromones of mealy bug is reported, the informationabout attractant pheromone of mealy bug is not known. To isolate it, colony ofmealy bug, M. hirsutus was maintained and the crawler mealy bugs wereextracted. Bioassay of the crude extract obtained was carried out on thecrawlers. Results indicated dose dependant attractant properties. The activitywas marginal at low concentration and increased gradually with concentration,went through the maximum and then reduced. Formulations of higher concentration(> 1.5 mg / ml) were repellent.

The objective of this text is to understand how the Municipal Education Network of São Paulo structures the continuing education of daycare teachers who work in educational institutions directly managed by the Municipal Department of Education. For this, a documentary research was carried out based on the legislation of the Municipal Secretariat of São Paulo and the publications of the Municipal Education Network of São Paulo. These documents were placed in dialogue with authors who discuss continuing education. It was possible to observe that the city of São Paulo has tried to advance in guaranteeing the right of babies and children to access educational institutions and thus has invested in the training of daycare teachers. This is evident in the legislation that advocates continuing education as well as in the training strategies developed preferably in the educational units, under the monitoring of the coordinator, who has the collaboration of trainers and pedagogical advisors. In addition to investments in adequate structure and working conditions, essential to promote quality continuing education, it is worth taking a close look at the effective policies of continuing education for the professionals of the network. The continuing education of daycare teachers is a continuous and challenging process, but essential to ensure quality early childhood education.

Being a teacher for babies involves appropriate knowledge in the theoretical-pedagogical relationship that shapes the process of professional identity formation. Thus, this article aims to analyze the continuities and perspectives in teaching practice with/for babies through an internship experience documented in a report. The methodology was theoretical-documentary, with the analysis focusing on an internship report as a research instrument, which allows for the examination of the formative movement of teachers in initial training and reveals the learning process for teaching. The compiled data were selected and organized into three categories of analysis: 1) Organization of space in teaching practice with babies; 2) Teaching actions in pedagogical practice with babies; and 3) The formative movement of the students and its implications for and in the constitution of teaching. A careful examination of the scientific writing of the internship report highlighted the persistences that still permeate pedagogical practices with babies and, concurrently, inspired possibilities to reflect on educational actions more conducive to learning and child development. We conclude that it is crucial to invest in initial training, with studies and immersion in professional practice through supervised curricular internships, as a means to equip teachers for the specificity of early childhood education. Moreover, the ongoing training of teachers needs to be an object of investment in a consistent, longitudinal and rigorous formative process, that dialogues with historical-cultural conception of early childhood education, childhood, and teaching aligned with the theoretical-practical framework already established in area.

Published: December 2024

The Gothic began as a designation for barbarian tribes, was associated with the cathedrals of the High Middle Ages, was used to describe a marginalized literature in the late eighteenth century, and continues today in a variety of forms (literature, film, graphic novel, video games, and other narrative and artistic forms). Unlike other recent books in the field that focus on certain aspects of the Gothic, this work directs researchers to seminal and significant resources on all of its aspects. Annotations will help researchers determine what materials best suit their needs.

A Research Guide to Gothic Literature in English covers Gothic cultural artifacts such as literature, film, graphic novels, and videogames. This authoritative guide equips researchers with valuable recent information about noteworthy resources that they can use to study the Gothic effectively and thoroughly.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear to many observers that the Department of Defense must better communicate to the officers at the tactical end of the nuclear mission a rationale for nuclear weapons and deterrence, the critical role that they play in the post–Cold War strategy of the United States, and the value of nuclear weapons to the security of the American people. This report tracks the changing conceptual and political landscape of U.S. nuclear deterrence to illuminate the gap in prioritizing the nuclear arsenal and to build a compelling rationale for tactical personnel explaining the role and value of U.S. nuclear weapons.
