Influence of Foundation Stiffness on the Fragility Curves of a Concrete Gravity Dam Subjected to Near-Field Ground Motions Using Finite Element Method
Authors: Mojtaba Khoshnafas Anari
Published: July 2024

A concrete gravity dam is being investigated to determine the fragility curves during near-field ground motions under various foundation stiffness conditions. This is accomplished using the finite element method for modeling the Latyan dam and its dam-reservoir-bed complex interaction system. The nonlinear constitutive model of concrete, plastic damage, is used to simulate the cyclic behavior of tensile and compressive failures in concrete. An acoustic element is used to model the propagation of compressive waves in the reservoir to account for the hydrodynamic effects of the lake reservoir. A total of 100 real and scaled accelerograms are used to simulate near-filed seismic loading in eight different concrete-to-foundation stiffness ratios. Based on the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of the earthquake, numerical models are applied to obtain the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) for lognormal distributions and to determine and analyze the fragility curves of the dam. According to the findings, the seismic performance of the dam is improved for stiffness ratios of 0.75, 1, and 1.5, and the best seismic performance is determined for stiffness ratios of 1. Concrete dams with stiffness ratios of 0.75, however, perform better when the peak ground acceleration is greater than 0.74g compared to those with stiffness ratios of 1.

Published: July 2024

A análise da música para games possui uma quantidade surpreendente de desafios. A interatividade causa problemas na construção da análise do produto, uma vez que introduz uma série de fatores imprevisíveis e que influenciam diretamente na experiência de se jogar um game; na estesia deste meio multimidiático. Além disso, a análise musical dentro do contexto multimídia possui grande potencial de contribuição, uma vez que o som é uma das mídias mais presentes dentre os meios multimidiáticos. Dentro dessa análise multimídia teríamos, então, como fator relevante, a análise musical adequada ao contraponto com outras mídias ao invés de manter-se isolada em seu próprio contexto expressivo. Porém, autores como Whalen, Aarseth, Consalvo, Dutton e Konzack apontam uma escassez e precariedade de metodologias analíticas no universo dos games e da música para games. Visa-se contribuir para o campo da análise musical levando em consideração a priori o contexto específico do multimídia sugerindo um roteiro qualitativo de análise. Tal roteiro adapta o framework de Nicholas Cook, em seu livro Analysing Musical Multimedia (1998), para incorporar a interatividade, imagem e som na análise de um game. Para a concepção do roteiro, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho exploratório, aprofundada no livro Analysing Musical Multimedia (1998), além de incluir em sua bibliografia trabalhos de Aarseth (2007), Aguiar e Battaiola (2016) para conhecer o funcionamento da interatividade e da imersão dentro dos games, e Jørgensen (2007) e Camargo (2018) para compreender a trilha sonora dos games. Consideramos o produto dessa pesquisa como um ponto de partida exploratório para a análise multimídia voltada para os games, possibilitando a incorporação de variadas análises, como da imagem e da interatividade.

Background: Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, is widely recognized as an effective and well-tolerated medication for the management of hypertension. Tea is the second most consumed liquid after water. Black and green tea are products made from the leaf and bud of Camellia sinensis. The study aimed to determine the effect of black and green tea on the in vitro dissolution profile of amlodipine tablets. Materials and Methods: An in vitro dissolution interaction study of amlodipine tablets was carried out in the presence and absence of black and green tea at pH 1.2 and 6.8 using USP Apparatus 2 at a constant temperature of 37 ± 0.5 ºC and a rotating speed of 50 revolutions per minute. A total of 24 teabags of black and green tea from the same batch were used and sampling was done at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. Analysis of amlodipine was done using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results: The study showed that at pH 1.2 amlodipine release was not significantly affected by green or black tea. The percentage release conformed with tolerance specifications in monographs. At pH 6.8, however, amlodipine release decreased significantly in the presence of tea (p=0.02). Using the similarity factor (f2) dissolution profiles were dissimilar (11,43). The degree of amlodipine inhibition at pH 6.8 was 11.5 and 55.3 % for black and green tea respectively. Conclusion: Coadministration of black or green tea with amlodipine tablets could alter the release of amlodipine which may influence therapy outcomes.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: There is generally an increase in the use of nutraceuticals among developed as well as developing countries. Community pharmacy is the first point of call for health needs by most patients, but there is a paucity of data on the roles played by community pharmacists in the distribution of nutraceuticals. This study aimed to determine the roles of community pharmacists in the distribution of nutraceuticals in Osun State. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 60 out of 61 eligible community pharmacists in Osun State was carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire. Ethical approval for this study was obtained from the Health Research and Ethics Committee of the Ministry of Health, Osun State. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21. Results: Twenty (33.3%) of the community pharmacists were aged between 26-30 years and 61.7% of them were males. Fifty-seven (95.0%) community pharmacists stocked nutraceuticals in their pharmacies and 36 of those that stocked them (63.2%) recommended it to their clients for specific conditions. They however recommend them when orthodox medicines fail (35.0%). The majority (92.6%) would not support the concomitant use of nutraceuticals and orthodox medicines. Conclusion: Community pharmacists stock nutraceuticals and this is influenced essentially by business forces: demand and marketing. They recommend these nutraceuticals to their clients, although they prefer to recommend orthodox medicines to nutraceuticals. Even though they have limited information on nutraceuticals, they caution their clients against the concomitant use of orthodox medicines and nutraceuticals.

Authors: Egonmwan A. E. ,   Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacy Practice, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Benin, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria., Osahon P. T. , Udezi A. W.
Published: July 2024

Background: Patients may not adhere to treatment plans due to cost of medicines. Generic prescribing is a mechanism for reducing cost of drugs thereby improving access to healthcare. It is therefore of value to understand Nigerian physicians’ perception towards generic prescribing. Objectives: To determine the perception of a sample of physicians towards prescribing generic and branded medicines. Methods: A descriptive multi-centered cross-sectional study in two teaching hospitals was carried out with pre- tested, self-administered, structured questionnaires. Data collected were sorted and entered into SPSS version 23 for descriptive statistics and Instat GraphPad for inferential statistics. P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Ethical considerations were observed. Results: Response rate was 71%, majority of the respondents (59.9%) were males. Registrar, junior registrar and consultant constituted 36%, 23% and 9% respectively. Four components were extracted and identified as efficacy and packaging, availability of prescribing information, bioavailability and cost as factors influencing physician prescription of either generic or branded medicine. Cost had the highest mean score of 3.70 ± 1.26, indicating most influential factor. Majority of the physicians considered severity of illness (40.34%) a decision influencer. There was a significant association between facilities and demographics which showed a significant difference in the domains of efficacy (and packaging) and cost. Conclusion: Physician generic medicine prescribing appears to be influenced by their perception of the efficacy, cost, bioequivalence, marketing activities of pharmaceutical companies and their own current location of practice.

Published: July 2024

Background: Effective infection prevention control (IPC) have been shown to reduce healthcare associated infections and to curtail epidemics and pandemics. Compliance by healthcare professionals (HCPs) is an important part of IPC measures. Objectives: This study investigated IPC practice, barriers and enablers among healthcare professionals (HCPs) in secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among 370 HCPs in a tertiary and secondary healthcare facility. Data was collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and the assessment was done using defined scoring systems. SPSS version 22 and Graphpad Instat were used for data analysis. Associations between variables were assessed using Chi-square and student’s t tests with significance level set at p<0.05. Results: Of the 370 participants, 195 (52.7%) had an average score for IPC practice and 269 (72.7%) of participants had good score for hand hygiene. HCPs in tertiary institution had a higher mean score compared to those in secondary institution on IPC (41.52±5.96/41.07±8.46-p=0.0009) and hand hygiene practice (30.72±5.979/29.08±5.63; p=0.1747) respectively. Nurses had a higher mean score compared to physicians on IPC (31.19±4.801/25.60±7.937; p=<0.001) and hand hygiene (43.34±4.170/39.83±3.673; p=0.001). Barriers to IPC are work overload 299(80.8%), lack of adequate materials 319 (86.3%) and lack of hand hygiene facilities 260 (70.8%). Conclusion: This study revealed that many HCPs had moderate practice of IPC and good practice of hand hygiene. Differences in practice among HCPs was observed which can be addressed with hospital leaders creating a stronger IPC culture and routine training of HCPs.

Psychological resources for coping with the stress experienced by soldiers participating in missions
Authors: Netczuk-Gwoździewicz Marzena Magdalena , Gołębiowski Artur
Published: July 2024

Introduction and objective

The aim of this study was to assess the level of the sense of coherence and stress coping
strategies among the homecoming participants of foreign military missions. Due to the nature of peacekeeping and stabilising missions and the tasks performed by their participants, the ability to cope with a stressful situation in the face of danger is crucial, not only for the sake of their health, but most of all due to its significant impact on collective security.

Material and methods

Converted values of the scores obtained in the Polish adaptation of Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations by Szczepanik, Strelau and Wrześniewski were used as indicators for stress coping styles (a dependent variable). The results received in Antonovsky’s Orientation to Life Questionnaire (Sense of Coherence Scale, SOC-29) were employed as indicators for the sense of coherence (an independent variable).

Results

The stronger the sense of coherence, the more likely the respondent to choose the task-oriented coping style. Owing to cognitive transformations, a difficult situation is interpreted as a challenge that can be coped with by a given person, who then makes efforts to solve the problem.

Conclusions

The research clearly shows that: (1) a strong sense of coherence significantly reduces the level of perceived stress and has a decisive impact on the choice of the preferred coping style; (2) the sense of coherence determines the choice of the preferred stress coping style; (3) individuals with a strong sense of coherence perceive stressors as challenges rather than threats; (4) individuals with a low sense of coherence tend to focus their energy on negative emotions and engage in activities of a definitely unhealthy nature (smoking, alcohol consumption).

Wprowadzenie i cel

Napływ ludności cywilnej (głównie kobiet i dzieci) pochodzenia ukraińskiego spowodowany konfliktem zbrojnym w Ukrainie, zapoczątkowany w lutym 2022 roku, spowodował konieczność opracowywania nowych standardów pomocy medycznej. W tym celu, korzystając z zasobów Wojskowego Instytutu Medycznego – Państwowego Instytutu Badawczego, utworzono Centrum Pomocy Medycznej, działające w okresie od maja do lipca 2023 roku.
Na podstawie analizy zgromadzonych danych medycznych pacjentów zgłaszających się do Centrum podjęto próbę zdefiniowania najczęstszych problemów zdrowotnych populacji pediatrycznej imigrantów wojennych z Ukrainy.

Materiał i metody

Badaniem objęto dzieci pochodzenia ukraińskiego, mające status uchodźcy wojennego. W ciągu 56 dni działania Centrum udzielono pomocy medycznej 130 pacjentom pediatrycznym, w ramach 211 przeprowadzonych konsultacji lekarskich. Szczegółowej analizie poddano dane demograficzne i epidemiologiczne, bieżące problemy zdrowotne, wywiad chorobowy oraz dokumentację medyczną zgłaszających się dzieci.

Wyniki

Najczęstszym powodem zgłoszenia się pacjentów była potrzeba kontynuacji świadczeń/leczenia z powodu przewlekłego problemu zdrowotnego (30%, 64 wizyty). Drugą co do częstości przyczynę zgłoszeń stanowiły infekcje (27%, 56 wizyt). Z wywiadu zebranego od opiekunów wynikało, iż większość (74%) dzieci była szczepiona zgodnie z ukraińskim kalendarzem szczepień, 1% stanowiły dzieci szczepione częściowo, 3% dzieci niezaszczepione, a w 22% przypadków odmówiono odpowiedzi na pytanie dotyczące szczepień. Na podstawie ankiety dotyczącej chorób zakaźnych stwierdzono dwa zachorowania na wirusowe zapalenie wątroby i jedno zachorowanie na gruźlicę. Nie odnotowano HIV/AIDS wśród badanych pacjentów pediatrycznych.

Wnioski

Stan zdrowia przybyłych do Polski dzieci pochodzenia ukraińskiego był dobry, nieodbiegający znacząco od populacji polskiej, a ich potrzeby zdrowotne nie różniły się w większości od potrzeb pacjentów polskich. Pacjenci nie prezentowali objawów typowych dla populacji migrantów wojennych. Wyniki przeprowadzonego programu potwierdzają przydatność tworzenia centrów pomocy medycznej dla migrantów jako przestrzeni do fachowej opieki medycznej oraz gromadzenia danych z zakresu zdrowia publicznego.
Suitability of soil in Ukpiovwin community in Udu LGA of Delta state for oil palm plantation based on its physicochemical properties
Authors: Blessing Ojochenemi Emiovwoo  , Duke Okoro
Published: July 2024

Soils of Ukpiovwin community in Udu LGA of Delta State were evaluated for suitability for oil palm cultivation based on its physicochemical properties. Suitability of soils for oil palm was assessed using FAO’s land and soil requirement and suitability ratings. Soil texture classes identified were dominated by clay. The soils were slightly acidic, with pH ranged from 4.49 to 6.40. The results showed that certain land characteristics such as, mean annual temperature, rainfall, soil depth and drainage were rated highly suitable (S1) to marginal suitable (S2), organic matter, total nitrogen, and potassium were rated highly suitable (S1) Available phosphorus and ECEC were generally low and rated as marginally suitable (S3) for oil palm cultivation in the study area. The main limiting factors that lower the suitability of these soils for oil palm establishment in the area were the soil texture which is clay and the low level of phosphorus available the soil. In order to enhance the soil condition and raise the productivity of the land to an ideal level, focus should be put on soil management practices that will improve the soil’s ability to effectively drain water in order to prevent water logging and keep water at ≥20cm below soil surface. The amount of phosphorus available in the soil can be increased through the application of phosphate fertilizer and through installation of erosion control measures such as bunds, platforms, and terraces to lessen losses of native and applied phosphate in surface run-off water and eroded soil.

Published: July 2024

A interação e a aprendizagem colaborativa são fundamentais nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem de línguas adicionais, visto que, além de possibilitar aos alunos partilhar informação sobre uma certa tarefa, eles podem desenvolver-se social e cognitivamente. Mas, como trabalhar de forma colaborativa em turmas numerosas?  Este artigo visa, portanto, compreender se o processo de aprendizagem colaborativa no ensino e aprendizagem da língua inglesa ocorre em turmas numerosas na Escola Secundária de Napipine, uma escola pública, periurbana, localizada na cidade de Nampula – Moçambique. Trata-se de um estudo de caso com uma abordagem qualitativa. Participaram voluntariamente do estudo três professores de inglês. Para a geração dos dados, foram usadas as técnicas combinadas de entrevista semiestruturada e observação direta das aulas. As intervenções dos professores foram gravadas em áudio, e as aulas observadas foram filmadas, com a respectiva anuência dos participantes. O estudo apoiou-se na teoria sociocultural de Vygotsky, que enfatiza o papel da interação social no desenvolvimento cognitivo do aluno, dando mais ênfase à aprendizagem colaborativa. O resultado do estudo mostra que os professores de inglês sabem da importância da interação e da aprendizagem colaborativa no ensino da língua, mas a sua implementação é desafiadora, por vários motivos, principalmente por se tratar de turmas numerosas, como é o caso da escola em estudo.
O narrador contemporâneo revela-se no narrado por ele mesmo e no mistério da transcendentalidade

Published: July 2024

Este artigo tematiza a relação do narrador, entre o narrado e a narração e em face da credibilidade desejada pelo leitor, no seu ponto de vista em 1ª pessoa e com caráter onisciente, no interior da narrativa contemporânea. Ao partir do questionamento sobre o alcance do narrador de contar o que está contando, de saber sobre o narrado, na interseção com o leitor no preenchimento dos interstícios na fabulação, reflete-se aqui sobre o narrador “ogúnico” no romance O avesso da pele (2020), de Jeferson Tenório (1977-). O objetivo é mostrar as estratégias do narrador-protagonista-onisciente, filho – em 1ª pessoa, no diálogo com o pai já falecido, com efeito estético no disfarce na narrativa em 2ª pessoa, em jogo dialógico nos espaços e tempo, na presentificação de concepção africana, em pensamento e epistemologia “ogúnica”, no processo de onipresença do narrador. Para isso, recorreu-se a subsídios teóricos em Dalcastgnè (2012), Eco (1994), Fernandes (1996), também live com o autor em Aula Aberta em Programa de Pós-graduação. Como resultado nesta investigação, concebe-se que no processo narrativo neste romance, o narrador contemporâneo revela-se no narrado por ele mesmo e no mistério da transcendentalidade, haja vista que o orixá Ogum pode legitimar o narrador-personagem-onisciente, amarrando as pontas de suas existências, cumprindo seu intento, o de entender a trajetória do pai e a sua, no universo em que ambos tiveram que compreender os conflitos internos e externos da pele e descobrir nas agruras da realidade o seu avesso.

Wilayah yang menjadi target dalam pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah Dukuh Mobok Desa Begawat Kec. Bumijawa, Kab. Tegal, Jawa Tengah. Desa ini merupakan penghasil teh yang dikenal dengan sebutan “Teh Bumijawa”. Beberapa warga desa memanfaatkan teh tersebut sebagai sediaan minuman yang masih dalam bentuk teh sangrai yang masih menimbulkan bau sangit, sehingga akan berdampak pada bau teh yang kurang nyaman (sangit) dan akan berpengaruh pada nilai jualnya, oleh karena itu penulis berinisiatif untuk melakukan penambahan cita rasa maupun aroma yaitu ditambahkan jahe dan kayu manis pada pembuatan teh celup. Jahe dan kayu manis merupakan bahan yang banyak mengandung senyawa-senyawa aktif sehingga diharapkan kombinasi formula teh celup dapat memberikan dampak kesehatan bagi tubuh dan juga mengurangi bau sangit dari teh. Teh dibuat dalam bentuk teh celup (siap saji) sehingga memudahkan dalam penggunaannya. Metode pengabdian yang dilakukan dengan cara survey lapangan, rapat koordinasi tim pengabdian dengan mitra, kemudian dilakukan penyuluhan dengan beberapa warga yang dilakukan dengan metode ceramah, diskusi dan tanya jawab mengenai teh celup kombinasi. Warga sangat antusias dengan pengabdian yang diberikan, sehingga harapannya dapat meningkatkan kemauan warga untuk melanjutkan pembuatan produk teh celup kombinasi jahe kayu manis dan dapat memasarkannya. Dari keuntungan yang diperoleh dapat meningkatkan nilai ekonomi warga Desa Begawat.

Indonesia sangat kaya akan jenis tanaman, lebih dari 1000 jenis tanaman diantaranya dapat digunakan untuk pengobatan. Kekayaan alam Indonesia sayangnya tidak selaras dengan tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat akan tanaman obat, sehingga pemanfaatan tanaman obat menjadi kurang. Hal yang sama juga terjadi pada pada masyarakat di Desa Cikande, hal ini disebabkan tidak adanya taman tanaman obat keluarga (TOGA) dan tidak adanya akses informasi yang cukup bagi warga Desa Cikande. Kegiatan edukasi TOGA dilakukan secara langsung melalui presentasi dan pembagian buku saku TOGA, kemudian dilakukan praktek penanaman TOGA pada lahan kosong. Selain itu dilakukan pemutaran video pembuatan jahe instan dan workshop pembuatan jahe instan. Penanaman dan edukasi TOGA serta pelatihan pembuatan jamu, khususnya jahe instan diperlukan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan pemanfaatan TOGA sehingga diharapkan akan meningkatkan derajat kesehatan dan perekonomian warga Desa Cikande.
ОБНАРУЖЕНИЕ МЕСТ УТЕЧЕК И НАРУШЕНИЙ ГИДРОТЕПЛОИЗОЛЯЦИОННОГО ПОКРЫТИЯ ТЕПЛОТРАСС
БЕСПИЛОТНЫМИ ЛЕТАТЕЛЬНЫМИ АППАРАТАМИ
Authors: Макаров Вадим
Published: July 2024

В статье рассматривается одна из важных областей применения БЛА – тепловой контроль нарушений гидротеплоизоляционного покрытия теплотрасс. Картирование территории с теплотрассами в населенных пунктах может быть выполнено БЛА в автоматическом (облет территории по заданной программе) или автоматизированном (оператор БЛА вручную изменяет режимы полета БЛА) режимах. Такое картирование или термографирование в указанных режимах значительно эффективнее используемых сейчас методов обхода теплотрасс контролирующими бригадами.
Предложен подход для получения оптимальных траекторий движения беспилотных летательных аппаратов (БЛА) при формировании термографических карт.
В заключение статьи отмечено, что оценка длины траектории движения БЛА и, следовательно, времени полета приведена для случая точного движения по заданной траектории без учета влияния внешних факторов: бокового ветра, встречного ветра, восходящих и нисходящих воздушных потоков. Оценить длину возмущенной траектории возможно для различной допустимой ветровой нагрузке с помощью имитационного моделирования.

This article analyzes the legal framework and the changes made in the context of the proposed revision of Regulation 2019/452, as part of the European Commission's initiative to improve the economic security of the Union. The article also presents a case study on the particular situation of the FDI examination mechanism applicable in Romania.
