Root canal treatment aims to maintain the condition of the teeth in order to keep them functioning. In practice, the treatment procedure does not always run smoothly, the operator can face undesirable conditions that can affect the prognosis of treatment. A common procedural error during root canal treatment is a lateral root perforation which must be treated immediately to avoid further damage. The success of the perforation treatment is determined by the materials used. One of the bicompatible materials to seal lateral perforations using MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate). Successful root canal treatment affects treatment outcomes, so proper restoration is required to reduce the risk of marginal leakage. The choice of final restoration in post-root canal treatment depends on the amount of remaining tooth structure, horizontal pressure and chewing load. For post-root canal treatment anterior teeth with intact marginal edges, direct restoration can be performed using composite resin

Authors: García-Molina Francisco , Cegarra-Navarro Maria Francisca , Andrade-Gonzales Renzo Javier , Martinez-Díaz Francisco
Published: December 2021

In this study, we present six cases of axillary or supraclavicular lymphadenopathies in the days following to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine’s first dose and its study for fine-needle aspiration cytology (two patients), biopsy with a gross needle (two patients), and the evolution of two other patients. Cytological smears and histological sections reveal reactive nodes, predominantly T, CD8, and the presence of atypia with striking mitosis. Differential diagnosis with viral lymphadenopathies and lymphoma is important, so the clinical correlation, in a vaccination context, sudden appearance, and progressive decrease in days of the adenopathy, is essential. In this article, we have studied the cytohistological manifestations of post-Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination lymphadenopathy and discussed its differential diagnosis.

Published: December 2021

В условиях увеличения объемов фейковой информации и усиления манипулятивных практик в СМИ идеология фактчекинга должна распространяться не только на фактологический контент, но и на контент, представляющий суждения о действительности. В статье обосновывается правомерность рассмотрения логического анализа как технологии фактчекинга, обеспечивающей соблюдение обязательных критериев качества журналистской деятельности: достоверности фактов и истинности суждений. Предлагается методика «тестирования» оперативного интертекста на соответствие реальной картине мира; а также описываются несколько кейсов, которые могут быть использованы на занятиях со студентами. Методику рекомендуется осваивать в рамках дисциплин, посвященных сбору, проверке и обработке журналистской информации. Емкость необходимых теоретических знаний позволяют вводить ее в учебный процесс даже в случае отсутствия в плане подготовки журналистов дисциплин по логике. Освоение студентами предложенной методики и ее практическое применение в процессе подготовки журналистских текстов можно рассматривать как инструмент развития логической культуры.

О ПОЗАХ «СПЯЩИХ» В ПОГРЕБЕНИЯХ ЭПОХИ БРОНЗЫ
Authors: А.А. Казарницкий , И.С. Туркина
Published: December 2021

Авторы предлагают проверить трактовку скорченной на боку скелетной позы как символа спящего человека в погребениях эпохи ранней бронзы степной зоны Восточной Европы. В выборке из 77 изображений современных людей в состоянии утреннего сна летом в полупустынном климате юга России отмечено безусловное доминирование встречаемости скорченных поз, несмотря на возможность сна в вытянутой позе. Сравнение поз современных спящих людей с положением скелетов в погребениях эпохи ранней бронзы Прикубанья выявило ряд совпадений в соотношении основных типов поз, в частоте скорченных поз в целом и в более мелких деталях положения рук и поворота туловища. Трактовка скорченной позы как типичной позы спящего человека признана допустимой.

The authors propose to check the interpretation of the contracted position of the skeleton lying on the side as a symbol of a sleeping individual in the Early Bronze Age burials in the steppe belt of Eastern Europe. The sample of 77 images featuring modern people in the state of morning dream in summer from the areas in the Russian South with a semi-desert climate demonstrates indisputable prevalence of contracted positions despite the fact that people can sleep in an extended posture. Comparison of positions in which modern persons sleep with the positions of the skeletons found in the Early Bronze Age burials of the Kuban region revealed a number of coincidences regarding the main types of positions, incidence of contracted positions as a whole and minor details of hand and arm positions as well as the turn of the body. The interpretation of the contracted position as a typical posture of a sleeping person has been recognized as acceptable.
Formation of the research competence of future doctors on the principles of the organization of their cognitive activity
Authors: Арсаханова Гайна Абдуловна
Published: December 2021

Современные педагоги отмечают, что именно приобретение важных компетенций может дать человеку возможности ориентироваться в современном информационном пространстве, быстротечном развитии рынка труда и получать образование на протяжении всей жизни. Обучение в ВМУЗ (высшем медицинском учебном заведении) определяет ведущее место в этом процессе такого явления как мобильность знаний. Последняя предполагает наличие высокого уровня образования, умения эффективно осуществлять информационный поиск научной информации и других элементов исследовательской деятельности. Современному студенту для основательного овладения учебными дисциплинами необходимо овладеть методами научного познания и исследовательскими компетентностями. Эти компетентности включают также навыки поиска необходимой научной информации. Данные навыки формируются на дисциплинах естественно-научного цикла. Методика формирования данной компетентности описана в трудах. Естественно-научные дисциплины чрезвычайно важны для будущих врачей. Элементы объяснения окружающей среды и его внутренних законов, исходя из собственного представления о природе играют важную роль в  формировании человека как личности. Навыки работы с научной информацией способствуют повышению эффективности профессиональной подготовки. Умение эффективно искать такую информацию является ключом для профессионального роста и совершенствования будущих врачей.

Modern teachers note that it is the acquisition of important competencies that can give a person the
opportunity to navigate in the modern information space, the rapid development of the labor market and receive
lifelong education. Training at the Higher Medical school (higher medical educational institution) determines the
leading place in this process of such a phenomenon as the mobility of knowledge. The latter implies a high level
of education, the ability to effectively carry out information search for scientific information and other elements
of research activity. For a modern student to thoroughly master the academic disciplines, it is necessary to
master the methods of scientific cognition and research competencies. These competencies also include the
skills of searching for the necessary scientific information. These skills are formed in the disciplines of the natural
science cycle. The methodology for the formation of this competence is described in the works. Natural science
disciplines are extremely important for future doctors. The elements of explaining the environment and its internal
laws, based on one's own idea of nature, play an important role in the formation of a person as a person. The
skills of working with scientific information contribute to improving the effectiveness of professional training. The
ability to effectively search for such information is the key to professional growth and improvement of future
doctors.
Effective investment policy as the basis for the economic development of the region: experience in education
Authors: Байсаева Малика Усамовна , Байсаев Зубайр Исмаилович , Бурсагов Алихан Зелимханович
Published: December 2021

Основное содержание значительных сдвигов, происходящих в социально-экономическом устройстве общества заключается в беспрецедентном в масштабах истории человеческого развития увеличении значения и роли знаний и человека как основного императива и цели экономического и общественного развития. Из – за этого чрезвычайную актуальность приобретают исследования именно тех сфер, в которых происходит воспроизводство и развитие человека и знаний, то есть, прежде всего образования. Развитие системы образования в России в контексте общеевропейских и мировых интеграционных процессов предопределяет необходимость обновления деятельности всех образовательных  звеньев, в частности дошкольного, так же, как и в начальной, средней или высшей, ведь глобализационные тенденции сегодня ставят перед выпускниками каждой из них более высокие требования к личностному интеллектуальному развитию. На поверхности жизни общества образование предстает как условное взаимообусловленное единство двух блоков-экономического и неэкономического. Экономическая функция образования, с одной стороны, заключается в воспроизводстве знаний и рабочей силы, с другой – в предоставлении обществу специфического продукта – образовательных услуг. Неэкономичный блок является сложной совокупностью элементов духовного, ментального, культурного характера, направленных на воссоздание духовно-ментальной матрицы общества.

The main content of the significant shifts taking place in the socio-economic structure of society is an
unprecedented increase in the importance and role of knowledge and man as the main imperative and goal of
economic and social development in the history of human development. Because of this, research in precisely those areas in which the reproduction and development of man and knowledge takes place, that is, first of all,
education, becomes extremely relevant. The development of the education system in Russia in the context of
pan-European and global integration processes determines the need to update the activities of all educational
units, in particular preschool, as well as in primary, secondary or higher, because globalization trends today put
higher requirements for personal intellectual development for graduates of each of them. On the surface of the
life of society, education appears as a conditional mutually conditioned unity of two blocks-economic and non-economic. The economic function of education, on the one hand, is to reproduce knowledge and labor, on the
other - to provide society with a specific product-educational services. An uneconomical block is a complex set
of elements of a spiritual, mental, and cultural nature aimed at recreating the spiritual and mental matrix of
society.

Published: December 2021

Graph-based architectures are becoming increasingly popular as a tool for structure generation. Here, we introduce a novel open-source architecture HyFactor which is inspired by previously reported DEFactor architecture and based on the hydrogen labeled graphs. Since the original DEFactor code was not available, its new implementation (ReFactor) was prepared in this work for the benchmarking purpose. HyFactor demonstrates its high performance on the ZINC 250K MOSES and ChEMBL data set and in molecular generation tasks, it is considerably more effective than ReFactor. The code of HyFactor and all models obtained in this study are publicly available from our GitHub repository: https://github.com/Laboratoire-de-Chemoinformatique/hyfactor
Design of Multicomponent Alloys with Single C14 Laves Phase for Hydrogen Storage assisted by Computational Thermodynamic
Authors: Ponsoni Jéssica Bruna , Aranda Vinicius , da Silva Nascimento Tatiane , Belli Strozi Renato , Botta Walter José , Zepon Guilherme
Published: December 2021

Design methods with predictive properties modelling are paramount tools to explore the vast compositional field of multicomponent alloys. The applicability of an alloy as a hydrogen storage media is governed by its pressure-composition-temperature (PCT) diagram. Therefore, the prediction of PCT diagrams for multicomponent alloys is fundamental to design alloys with optimized properties for hydrogen storage applications. In this work, a strategy to design single C14-type Laves phase multicomponent alloys for hydrogen storage assisted by computational thermodynamic is presented. Since electronic and geometrical factors play an important role in the formation and stability of multicomponent Laves phase, valence electron concentration (VEC), atomic radius ratio (r_A/r_B), and atomic size mismatch (δ) are initially considered to screen a high number of compositions and find alloy systems prone to form Laves phase structure. Then, CALPHAD method was employed to find 142 alloys of the (Ti, Zr or Nb)(Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, or Zn)2 system predicted to crystallize as single C14 Laves phase structure. In addition, we present a thermodynamic model to calculate PCT diagrams of C14 Laves phase alloys based solely on the alloy’s composition. In this work, the entropy and enthalpy of hydrogen solution in the C14 Laves phase were modelled considering that hydrogen solid solution occurs only at the A2B2-type interstitial sites of the C14 Laves phase structure. Experimental pressure-composition-isotherm (PCI) diagrams of six C14 Laves phase alloys were compared against the calculated ones resulting in a good prediction capability. Therefore, the room temperature PCI diagrams of 142 single C14 Laves phase multicomponent alloys were calculated. The results show that single C14 Laves phase multicomponent alloys within a wide range of equilibrium pressure at room temperature can be obtained, being promising candidates for different hydrogen storage applications, such as room temperature tanks, hybrid tanks and Ni-metal hydrides batteries.
Enhancing the attractiveness of the island of Ireland to high-value Foreign Direct Investment
Authors: Siedschlag Iulia , Yan Weijie , Driffield Nigel
Published: December 2021

In the context of intensified global competition, enhancing attractiveness to foreign direct investment (FDI) in high-value knowledge-intensive sectors is a policy objective in many advanced economies. Understanding what drives the location choice of FDI in high-value knowledge-intensive sectors is important for designing such policies. This research report provides novel evidence on factors and policies underlying the attractiveness of Ireland and Northern Ireland to FDI in high-value knowledgeintensive sectors. Furthermore, this research explores opportunities for policy coordination on the island of Ireland that could enhance the attractiveness of both jurisdictions on the island to high-value FDI. The following knowledge-intensive sectors are included in the analysis: aerospace, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, semiconductors, business machines and equipment, electronic components, consumer electronics, communications, software and IT services, financial services, business services, and space and defence. The research focuses on new greenfield FDI projects – new operations established by foreign companies at new sites on the island of Ireland and the rest of the EU and UK over the period 2003–2020. The analysis uses a newly generated dataset combining information from a range of data sources. Information on new greenfield FDI projects established on the island of Ireland and across EU and UK regions and countries over the past two decades (sourced from the Financial Times FDI Markets database) are combined with data on location-specific factors that influence the location choices of FDI projects (sourced from the European Commission, Eurostat and OECD).
The Politics of Activism and Biculturalism: the emergence of bicultural consultancies in New Zealand
Authors:   , McKenzie Ethan
Published: December 2021

In what many commentators have characterised as a contradictory trajectory, a number of people involved in radical anti-state activism, which defined New Zealand from the late 1960s to the 1980s, became consultants on biculturalism for government agencies by the late 1980s. These consultants ran seminars for Pākehā public servants on the history and contemporary impact of Māori oppression under colonialism; Māori language, culture, and protocol; and the proposed future of the Crown-Māori relationship. This thesis uses genealogy and case study methodology to track the emergence of bicultural consultancies, their ideology and techniques, and their role in Māori policy reform beginning in the late 1980s. It aims to reveal the connections and disjunctions between the goals of anti-state activists active from the late 1960s to the 1980s, and the bicultural consultancies which emerged by the late 1980s.  Māori anti-racist and anti-state activists and their Pākehā allies skilfully leveraged the state by invoking the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi to call for a new partnership between Māori and the state, a partnership that by the 1980s was officially termed biculturalism. The public sector, which was identified as institutionally racist by activists, was an important focus of this activism. Activists demanded that Pākehā-dominated government departments be reformed to better reflect and serve Māori. The state’s response to these demands, beginning in earnest with the 1988 policy paper Te Urupare Rangapu and additionally sustained by the precepts of so-called ‘bicultural’ or ‘Treaty’ issues, created the demand for consultants to assist with reforming Māori policy making and delivery, and by extension, those public servants that would be responsible for the success of these reforms. While bicultural consultants were still working with anti-racist ideas and frameworks, the ascendancy of bicultural and Treaty discourses by the end of the 1980s somewhat obfuscated the ontologies of race and institutional racism in their work.
A legal framework for sharing customs intelligence through the single window system
Authors:   , Thomas Bruce
Published: December 2021

Some customs agencies are implementing electronic single window systems. These single window systems enable an importer or exporter to digitally transmit their transaction information to the customs administration. The single window system shares relevant information with other government agencies involved in the import or export process. It relieves the importer or exporter of the need to lodge transaction information separately with each government agency.  An international single window system is the interconnection of two or more national single window systems. It enables the exporter’s transaction information to be re-used in import processing, thereby reducing the amount of information required from importers. For states that already have customs intelligence-sharing agreements, a single window system could be used to exchange intelligence information about the import and export transactions processed by the system. Intelligence-sharing agreements can and should include transparent protection for human rights. The human rights relevant to this legal framework are access to justice, freedom from arbitrary search and seizure, freedom from torture and the right to privacy. The right to privacy is the human right most affected by intelligence-sharing. This thesis proposes a legal framework to enable intelligence to be shared through a single window system with transparent terms for managing human rights. This thesis suggests that public confidence would be improved by showing how privacy and other human rights are treated in the rules for customs intelligence-sharing using the system proposed here.
Arcadia, The Museum Of Nature
Authors:   , Cleland Hamish
Published: December 2021

The loss of indigenous ancient forests has had a great impact to New Zealand habitats. Native birds, insects, fungi, plants and animals have been diminishing in diversity since human occupation. This is to a degree the result of intensive resource consumption and demand. Forestry, agriculture, mineral and gas resources were seen as more valuable than the ecosystems that existed before them. Our landscapes themselves became secondary.  The particular infrastructure of open cast mining was chosen for this research. Mining represents a way to design active reclamation, while the mine site is still operating. Because of this, time becomes an integral component to the design process.  The site is situated at Macraes flat, Otago. Ten kilometres of open cast mine, in operation since 1990. Open cast mining has produced great income. However, The cost of mining extends beyond an eyesore, it diminishes the quality of the land for any future use.   Arcadia, the Museum of Nature is a vision of a place for preservation and for pride in ancestral property. A true “Arcadia” — a land of natural wonder. This is a museum of New Zealand’s key indigenous species. One designed through myth woven narratives, inspired by existing authors and generated through narrative experiments. To inspire, educate and showcase our unique ecologies, and endangered environments for future generations.   Arcadia becomes a place to witness the succession of the natural world. A continuous time scale allows for a regenerative solution over years to centuries. Thereby showing the ability and resilience of nature in taking back from man’s intrusive tendencies. Rectifying the grotesque interruption of one of nature’s greatest tools, that of time. All the while harbouring our rare and unique wildlife.   The museum of nature replaces the current system of remediation, and provides a more provocative solution to the end of modern day infrastructure.
The use of musical interactions to collaborate with teaching staff and specialist services at a special education school.
Authors:   , Brooks Devin
Published: December 2021

This research aimed to investigate how a student music therapist used musical interactions to collaborate with teaching staff and specialist services at a special education school in New Zealand. Music therapists in this context are able to collaborate by assisting and supporting other therapy professionals and staff. I was particularly interested in how the ‘music’ served as a collaborative tool within the school and what was meaningful that developed from these musical interactions between school members.   Through secondary analysis of my reflective clinical journal notes I was able to explore how I used musical interactions to collaborate. Data was coded, sorted into meaning units, and themes were then drawn out using thematic analysis.   The findings suggested that musical interactions promoted staff experiences of music making with others as well as supporting student goals, by corresponding to the classroom learning agenda. Musical interactions gave support in resourcing staff to become facilitators of music in the classroom, as well as supporting the little moments when life at a special education setting can be challenging. Lastly, musical interactions were perceived to build a sense of community within the school. Music-making and facilitation of music in mostly informal settings seemed to support connecting and relationship building between students and staff.
Capital Gateway

This thesis analyses modern transport interchanges in the context of the current Wellington Railway Station, to then ask: How can interior architecture optimise the use function of a concourse within a transport interchange?   As one of the largest transport interchanges in New Zealand, the Wellington Railway Station serves around 40,000 people everyday. Due to the projected population increase of around 50,000 by 2043, this of course will mean a further increase the number of people travelling each day via the railway station.   The design in this thesis calls for a redeveloped ‘transfer hall’ or ‘main concourse’ area that strives to connect with other modes of transport and accommodate the fluctuation of both patronage numbers while also considering how the interior could provoke a positive social interaction from the user, by doing so it is thought that the new interchange becomes a place to visit, rather than just a quick thoroughfare. The key aim of the thesis is to capture the current architectural expression of the station, to then convert it into a modern interchange.
The Living Barrier: Residential architecture acting as a noise barrier near railway corridors
Authors:   , Lim Jonathan
Published: December 2021

As urban regions increase in population and density, the need for quietness and spaces of relative calm becomes important to inhabitants’ physiological and psychological health and wellbeing. Noises, and the sounds that create them, are treated as a by-product of urban densification and the advancement of technology. This led to uncontrolled and incidental acoustic environments around notable points of urban densification. Each sound adds together in the acoustic environment to create a composition that is labelled collectively as noise. Those in the professions of planning and designing these urban environments have a responsibility to become the composers of the grand aural experience that is the worldly soundscape.  In response to this design problem, this portfolio explored how architecture can be designed to enable this sustainable densification of noisy urban environments. It proposed the incorporation of psychoacoustics and R. Murray Schafer’s soundscape philosophy (and ongoing related research) into acoustic design. By understanding the complex creation of the aural experience, this portfolio investigated whether the key to living healthily and sustainably in an inevitably sound-filled urban environment laid in the design of soundscape as a perceptual construct.  The investigation translated relevant literature into broad explorations of soundscape design elements at a variety of architectural scales. Using soundscape principles in a design process produced a strong architectural proposition that could solve both densification and acoustic problems. This had widespread and profound implications on architectural design practices. The portfolio therefore prompts further explorations into soundscape design for other architectural problems and applications.
The Economics Of Disaster Risk And Recovery: Three Essays On Sri Lanka
Authors:   , de Alwis Diana
Published: December 2021

Dramatic increase of economic losses from Natural disasters derail economic and human development in many places. This dissertation sheds light on natural disaster risk and short-term and long-term household wellbeing after disasters. It is composed of three empirical studies of Sri Lanka. The first study examines the impacts of frequently occurring extreme weather events on individual health and health care cost using national household data. The analysis shows that local floods and droughts impose a significant risk to health when individuals are exposed directly and their communities indirectly to these hazards. These risks are associated with the land-use in the affected regions and the status of access to sanitation and hygiene. Health risks due to flood and drought cause a considerable economic burden on the private and public health care sectors. Finally, we learn that recurring extreme weather events may potentially be sources of significant health risk and economic cost to a rapidly growing developing country that call for alternative policies focusing on the socio-economic environment, and land use to manage these health risks. The second study estimates a difference- in- difference (DID) model to examine the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami’s long-term impacts on household wellbeing in Sri Lanka. The study finds a strong association between area-wide tsunami disaster shock and increases in household income and consumption in the long-term. The increase in consumption is much smaller than the observed increase in income; the study reveals an increase in food consumption and only a marginal increase in non-food consumption. The third study analyses the 2004 tsunami recovery’s impact on income distribution across households in the long-term in Sri Lanka using quantile difference-in-difference methods and inequality measures. Recovery of household income is observed across the entire distribution of affected households. The income recovery is skewed to low-income households; the affected regions appear more income-equal ex-post compared to the unaffected regions. A similar pattern appears for consumption. Finally, the findings in the second and third studies show a potential for a long-lasting and successful recovery from a catastrophic disaster.
The BRI and AIIB: A Challenge to the Liberal International Order?
Authors:   , Whyte Thomas
Published: December 2021

First announced in 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has become a central component of Chinese foreign policy under the presidency of Xi Jinping. Given the scope and vision of the BRI, several fundamental questions have been raised by the policy. Is the BRI threatening? Will it strengthen the system? Will it supplement it? In order to explore this puzzle, the thesis undertakes empirical analyses of the BRI and the accompanying Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). These analyses will be placed within a container of the Liberal International Order (LIO). This framework, derived from the writings of G. John Ikenberry, is based around four elements: Open Multilateral Trade, International Institutions, Liberal Democracy and Neoliberal World Economy. The findings show that the BRI and AIIB have combined to create a disorientating picture in which elements of the LIO are both strengthened and undermined. This allows China to sit benignly within the order while constructing the infrastructure needed to break from the system - if and when required.
Tertiary Education Migration and Cook Islands' Development
Authors:   , Raymond Lea
Published: December 2021

In 2016, field research in the Cook Islands explored the correlation of migration, education and development in the Pacific by focussing on the impacts of tertiary education migration on the development of the Cook Islands. A total of 29 participants contributed to this research, most fitting into at least one of these three categories: a) returned tertiary education migrants b) non-returned education migrants, and c) Cook Islands Governmental officials.   Depopulation is one of the greatest challenges for the Cook Islands today. While striving for rapid development and for meaningful participation in an ever-changing global economy, obtaining overseas university degrees is seen as an attractive option for many young Cook Islanders. It is not only seen as a way to contribute to the development of their home country, but to also ensure that opportunities for personal growth are abundant. With many fearing that the departure of the ‘brightest minds’ to overseas universities results in brain drain, this research explores the drivers for the decision-making regarding migration. It further discusses the lived realities of tertiary education migrants who chose to return home after obtaining an overseas university degree and the implications of this movement for the Cook Islands Government.   This research found that the key drivers for the decision-making regarding tertiary education migration may not be reduced to the availability of quality university study, but that there is a variety of other factors that influence young Cook Islanders. Instead of preventing young promising Cook Islanders from leaving the country, this research suggests that the overseas diaspora could be a valuable resource to contribute to Cook Islands’ development. Further, this research found that strictly applying the neo-classical approach to migratory processes does not seem sufficient to explain the perceived hurdles and enablers for returned graduates from the Cook Islands.
Emergent ecology: Creating inclusive cities through speculative interaction
Authors:   , Kumar Shaneel
Published: December 2021

Many cities within developing countries are facing an increased demand for space to work and live as contemporary top-down urbanisation strains to facilitate the rising urban population. Future projections estimate that the world’s population will transition from rural to urban living within a relatively short period of time, causing concern towards transition and facilitation of culturally specific demographics and their values within the existing socioeconomic condition of a city. This research proposes a speculative bottom-up approach to urban design which utilises the behavioural tendencies of various demographics within a cultural context to inform how a city can facilitate inclusivity through diverse social and economic interaction. Inclusive cities are paramount to the socioeconomic success of developing countries, with the potential to provide over 80% of the country’s economic growth. This investigation looks at New Delhi, India as a context within which to test the proposed emergent model for urban design (behaviour driven approach) using a simulation-based methodology to test how New Delhi’s various demographics can diversely interact to invoke an inclusive future city in response. The speculative design investigation of this research will highlight the potential of bottom-up urban design and the merit of using behaviour-based, emergent methodologies for urban planning, creating diverse interaction and an alternative to contemporary top-down urban planning. The aim of the research is to develop a methodology for simulating how agent behaviour can be utilised to inform urban design. The methodology will simulate an urban population by utilising individual and collective behaviour to inform the organisation of density within an urban scale. The data will form a “pre-geometry state” in which typology, infrastructure and other key nodes can be instanced to create an emergent, urban ecology informed by agent interactions.

Objetivo: Analisar o cenário atual da adesão à Profilaxia Pré Exposição ao HIV (PrEP) no Brasil e compreender as barreiras e os aspectos facilitadores para a efetiva adesão.  Método: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura realizado em 2019. Resultados: Observou-se alta adesão à PrEP. As barreiras e os aspectos facilitadores para a adesão à PrEP estão associados ao estigma social, déficit de conhecimento sobre à eficácia e a segurança da profilaxia e, principalmente, a baixa conscientização sobre as práticas sexuais e comportamentos de alto risco para a transmissão do HIV. Conclusão: Observou-se alta adesão à PrEP nos segmentos populacionais mais vulneráveis. A adesão à PrEP potencializa o impacto dessa estratégia de saúde, bem como controla a transmissão da doença em segmentos populacionais de alta vulnerabilidade na sociedade.

Purpose: The motivation behind this study is to investigate how the practical implementation of cloud-based accounting/finance mechanism effects business performance with a mediating effect of innovative work behavior among the employees of banking sector. Design/Methodology: To explore the relationship between the independent, dependent and mediating variables questionnaire method is used. The main view of study is how cloud-based accounting/finance mechanism influences business performance in banks along with the impact of innovative work behavior on business performance. Data collected from 280 managerial level employees of different banks in Faisalabad division. Findings: This study indicates that cloud-based accounting/finance mechanism has a positive and significant impact on business performance. Innovative work behavior is strengthening the relationship between cloud-based accounting/finance mechanism with business performance. In the presence of innovative work behavior the impact of independent variable considered significant and in more strength. Moreover, this study recommends that firms should focus on innovative work behavior in order to increase their business performance. Research limitations/implications: The findings suggest that furthermore detailed research is required to explore the effects of cloud-based accounting/finance mechanism and innovative work behavior on business performance.

Time-Domain Pulse Waveform Correction for Pulsed Electric Field Measurement in Microwave Cable with Frequency-Dependent Loss
Authors: Jeong Jaehoon , Kim Cheonho , Ryu Jiheon
Published: December 2021

This paper presents a method that corrects pulse waveforms distorted by the frequency-dependent loss of microwave cables in measuring pulsed electric fields (PEFs). Because the distortion resulting from the microwave cable disrupts accurate PEF measurements, the distorted pulse should be corrected for precise PEF effect testing. The proposed correction method is achieved by a transfer function that is determined by ABCD parameters calculated from the scattering parameters of the cable. A 10-m microwave cable is tested to validate the proposed method, where the input pulse is a 2-ns sine pulse of a single cycle. Here, the output pulse, scattering parameters, and cable resistance are measured. These measurement results are used to represent the transfer function in MATLAB for the proposed correction method. The test results show that the corrected pulse obtained from the transfer function has an error of 4.5% in the peak-to-peak voltage and an error of 0.8% in the bipolar pulse width compared to the reference input pulse. The errors of PEF measurement decrease dramatically by using the proposed correction method. Moreover, the correction method is validated for various pulse durations, pulse shapes, and cable types.

Authors: Yeoh You-Seok , Min Kyeong-Sik
Published: December 2021

This paper presents the characteristics of a 6 × 26 slotted waveguide array antenna for a wave monitoring radar system. The proposed antenna was designed as a double-layer structure that operated in the Ku-band and combined the radiating antenna and feeding antenna structures to secure a broad bandwidth. To realize the high-gain properties of the antenna and the beamwidth control, parameters such as the resonance slot length, width, offset, and angle of the feeding slot placed on the broad wall were precisely calculated using the iteration. The measured results for the voltage standing wave ratio, radiation patterns, half-power beamwidth, and peak gains of the 6 × 26 slotted waveguide array antenna agreed well with the simulated results.
