Comparison of Mercury and Lead Sediment Concentrations in Lake Ontario (1968–1998) and Lake Erie (1971–1997/98) using a GIS-Based Kriging Approach
Authors: Forsythe K. Wayne , Dennis Michael , Marvin Chris H.
Published: June 2023

This research analyzed sediment contamination concentrations for mercury and lead in Lakes Ontario and Erie using a GIS-based kriging approach. Environment Canada provided sediment survey data for Lake Ontario (1968 and 1998) and Lake Erie (1971 and 1997/98). Collation and mapping of point measurement data without the application of interpolation methods does not allow for spatial data trends to be fully analyzed. The kriging technique enables the creation of interpolated prediction surfaces, with the advantage that the results can be statistically validated. Although data normality is not required, the kriging results for the historical datasets suggest that it may be desirable, as statistical validity was reduced due to some individual stations having very high contaminant concentrations. Three of the four models developed for the 1997/98 data were statistically valid. For both lakes, the more recent data reveal reduced concentrations of mercury and lead, and there has been an overall reduction in contamination levels. However, sediments in some areas still exceeded Canadian sediment quality guidelines. The areas of greatest sediment contamination in Lake Ontario were within the major depositional basins, presum- ably as a result of historical industrial activities in watersheds along the southern and western shoreline including the Niagara River. In Lake Erie, areas of greatest sediment contamination continue to be located in the western and south central portions of the lake in proximity to the Detroit River and major urban/industrial centres. 
An Architectural Dialogue Between Light And Form Biomimetic Form-Finding In Response To Daylight
Authors: Phan Ngan Truc
Published: June 2023

This thesis applies the morphological adaptation to the sunlight of the leaf epidermis and the luminous moss to address daylighting design issues. Under changes in surface tension when varying their cells’ inflation, these organisms’ elastic material drives the transparency fluctuation responsively to sunlight. The technology with the potentials to interpret these biomimetic principles in architecture is pneumatics: insulating, lightweight, inflatable and collapsible. Pneumatic architecture achieving the quality of multi-translucency has surpassed traditional double-skin facade in performance and environmental aspects, including glare and visual balance. The design process considers the influences of locality and materiality on architectural formation through digital daylight simulations and physical prototyping to investigate the possibilities of the new architectural form, in the context of a medium-scale and deep-floor-plan office. As a result, the dialogue between light and form retrofits the performance qualities of a traditional glass facade and improves user experience. 
The Formal Operation of Architecture The Question of Abstraction
Authors: Teyouri Amir
Published: June 2023

Forms in architecture are the result of an evolutionary process with underlying abstract constituent parts, a process generated and mediated by human cognition. If architecture is taken to be the art of creating inhabitable forms, the inquiry is mainly concerned with how architecture gives form to an intended expression or meaning and what theoretical framework can explain this formal operation. It is argued that the comprehensibility of the intended expression is dependant upon the logical correlation between the objective perceptual aspects of the formal operation with abstract ideas which are derived from the externalities of architecture. The nature of this logical correlation is predicated on abstraction.

Full-scale tests of transporting pipeline sections : A review and consequences to our investigations
Authors: Dakhel Ahmad Yasser , Lukács János
Published: June 2023

Hydrocarbon transport pipelines’ safe operation is an economic and environmental interest. These pipelines are typically designed for static loads, but during their long-time operation – due to pressure changes and environmental impacts – they are also subject to cyclical loads. The individual pipe sections are connected by girth welds, which represent potential sources of hazards in terms of damage. In order to assess the reliability of girth welds, full-scale tests are carried out under simple and complex loads. The purpose of this article is twofold. On the one hand, summarize the full-scale tests on transmission pipelines, with special attention to the tests on girth welds; on the other hand, based on this, draw con-clusions for the design and implementation of our own full-scale tests.
Vehicle emblems from nature
Authors: Dömötör Csaba
Published: June 2023

Copying principles and functions from nature, or even a particular shape, con-struction, colouration, or pattern is most often a rewarding business. By using shapes that have long been known and thus rooted in human subconsciousness, users can design products that show durability, create confidence or simply be usable and appealing in shape or colour. This is true even if the natural analogy found is not due to the product itself, but to the graphic element of the logo of the company. This article systematizes the natural motifs found in the emblems of the automotive industry and illustrates their effects in branding.
Prediction of strain distribution during the plane strain tensile test based on artificial neural networks
Authors: Meknassi Raid Fekhreiddine , Béres Gábor , Lukács Zsolt
Published: June 2023

In this study, finite element method was used to study the effects of various notch geometries on the strain field distributions during the plane strain tensile test for cold-rolled steel (DC01). The artificial neural network approach (ANN) and the response surface meth-odology (RSM) were adopted to develop the mathematical prediction models applied in the optimization procedure. The strain state was expressed by self-defined metrics, namely, the Plane Strain State Index (PSSI) and the Homogeneity Index (HI) were predicted by changing the notch angle (X degree), notch width (d mm), and notch length (c mm). The Quadratic mathematical models obtained by the RSM, and ANN presented the evolution of PSSI, and HI based on (X, d, and c). The results show that the ANN method provides more precise results compared to those of the RSM approach.

Authors: Olukayode Olakunle , Adedeji Wasiu , Oyewole Kehinde , Idris Musibaudeen
Published: June 2023

Dioclea reflexa seed is a non-conventional seed widely used in the south-eastern Nigeria for culinary and herbal purposes. In using it for these purposes, cracking of the seed to expose the cotyledon is a necessity. However, the seed is seen as one of the hard seeds difficult to crack manually. This work hereby presents the conceptual solution and the fabri-cated prototype of the manually operated machine to efficiently and safely crack the seed. The design concept involved pushing the seed into a converging passageway with the at-tendant reaction of the narrowing space-seed interface developing a force that will eventually crack the seed. The machine developed, which also serves as a proof of the concept was fabricated from mild steel using established methods of metal fabrication. The machine pro-totype was evaluated for seed cracking efficiency as well as the perceived ease of use by operators. Results shows that the machine achieved 96% cracking efficiency and the average response of the test subjects invited to operate the machine was that it is easy to operate.

MIGRATION FLOWS IN THE WORLD: VOLUMES, DIRECTIONS, GROWTH REASONS
Authors: Yakovenko Yu.V.
Published: June 2023

Objective. The objective of the article is to analyze and evaluate the volumes, directions, growth reasons of migration flows in the world and determine measures to minimize their negative effect.

Methods. In the process of establishing the volumes, directions and growth reasons of migration flows in the world, general scientific methods of scientific knowledge are used. The abstraction method is used to determine the migration-active regions. The grouping method is applied to determine the number of labour emigrants from Eastern European countries in 2010–2019. The comparison method is used for comparing the share of labour migrants in the total structure of the labour forces in the regions of the world in 2013 and 2017. The synthesis method is used to concretize the number of labour migrants in Africa in the context of integration associations in 2017. Methods of induction, concretization and abstraction are applied to determine the causes and directions of labour emigration in the Arab states of the Middle East.

Results. The article deals the directions of labour migration in the world. A detailed analysis of the reasons and directions of labour migration flows to the EU countries is carried out. The main directions of labour emigration to the EU countries are determined and include: Europe-Europe (immigration from Eastern Europe to EU countries) and Africa-Europe (immigration from Africa to EU countries). The volume of labour emigration in the direction of Europe- Europe in the context of Eastern Europe donor countries is summarized. The main reasons for labour migration in the African region are formed, concretized and generalized. It is determined that despite the significant volumes of labour emigration to the EU countries, a characteristic feature of the African region is the predominance of intraregional labour migration (80 %). The main reasons for the decrease in the number of official labour migration from African countries to the EU is identified (the stricter requirements «immigration legislation» EU; the EU migra- tion crisis in 2015, the desire to avoid additional tax payments and preserve the possibility of receiving financial assistance). The main reasons and directions of the labour migration growth in the Asian region are summarized. It is determined that the largest number of labour migrants in the Asian region migrates both within the region (more migrants in countries with a higher income level) and to the Arab states of the Middle East. The states of the Middle East, which were the largest recipients in 2018, are identified.

A study was carried out with tomato at the research field of Regional Agricultural Research Station of BARI, Cumilla during two consecutive years 2019-20 and 2020-21. The objective was to evaluate the yield response and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of tomato (variety BARI Tomato-15) and to suggest the source and the rate of N fertilizer recommendation for tomato. The experiment was laid out in a RCBD design with three N sources (PU, NCU and DAP) and two N rates (100% and 125% of recommendation as per FRG-2018) replicated three times. In the first year, prilled urea (PU), neem coated urea (NCU) and DAP were used but in the second year DAP was replaced by urea super granule (USG). The recommended dose of N for tomato was 120 kg ha-1. Results revealed that between two rates of N application the yield was the maximum (77.4 t ha-1 and 60.3 t ha-1 in two years, respectively with 125% of RD. The highest agronomic use efficiency of nitrogen (NAUE) was obtained from 100% RD of N as DAP (150.0 kg kg-1) and 125% RD of N as NCU (133.3 kg kg-1). The lowest N use efficiency was observed in 100% PU (84.2 kg kg-1) and 100% NCU (40.8 kg kg-1) treated plots. Due to optimal plant growth, the neem-coated urea treatment yielded little higher than PU treatment.

Multi-dimensional Feasibility of Bangladesh’s Solar Power Target
Authors: Sultana Moshahida
Published: June 2023

The declining cost of solar technology and declaration of Japan, China, and Korea to not invest in new coal power plants has opened up new possibilities for the expansion of solar deployment worldwide. Bangladesh has also scrapped the plan to build new coal power plant like many other lower middle-income countries in Asia. However, the lower middle-income countries were not able to take the opportunity of the declining solar cost in last one decade and the growth of solar remained in the formative phase for most of the developing countries. Bangladesh has already missed the target to generate 10% from renewable by the year 2020. The increasing emphasis on solar globally and locally has pushed the government to set ambitious targets without considering the techno-economic, socio-technical, and political feasibility of solar. This research has used process tracing based on policy documents and interviews to explore the mechanisms through which solar deployment grew slowly in Bangladesh. Then, this paper found out the feasible, moderately feasible, ambitious, and highly ambitious solar targets of Bangladesh and identified the factors that can increase the multi-dimensional feasibility of solar targets. It shows that market mechanism alone cannot increase feasibility of the target and argues that socio-technical and political feasibility must also be considered in setting realistic target.

The Strategies for Overcoming Cultural Untranslatability: The Case of Rabindranath Tagore’s Gora
Authors: Halim Md Abdul
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to show the cultural untranslatability of Rabindranath Tagore’s Gora (1910) by analyzing the translation of the novel by W.W Pearson. Both the source and translated texts are studied using the content analysis method keeping the central motif in mind. The present research paper finds that Gora is so deeply rooted in Bengali cultural issues, that the translator has faced immense difficulties in making those cultural substances familiar to the target audience. The translator has used some strategies for overcoming cultural untranslatability such as borrowing and naturalization, definition, addition, substitution, transliteration, cultural equivalence, omission, etc. but in spite of the use of these strategies, the translation remains at a distance from the source text. However, the translator has mostly employed one approach, but on rare occasions he has utilized more than one, for example, transliteration with addition or definition, to give the intended audience a clear understanding of what is being said.

In this article, focused on bilingualism, we will investigate the cognitive aspects of bilingual children and the implications that the second language can have on their academic and social life. Drawing on Saussure's General Linguistics Studies, Piaget's Cognitive Development of Children, Chomsky's Universal Grammar, and Vygotsky's sociocultural exposition, we discuss how bilingual children develop increased attention and also explore the issue of children on the Autism Spectrum, who, despite never having been exposed to a second language before, are capable of speaking both languages fluently. The article is based on the observation of Haitian children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with or without speech and language difficulties, in a municipal school in a city in the interior of Santa Catarina, and how the pedagogical practices and social experiences within the school context contributed to their bilingual development. The children in question were observed for two years during everyday activities in which they were exposed to or engaged in some form of interaction in a foreign language, allowing us to observe the process of foreign language acquisition for each individual.

Introdução: Do diagnóstico até o tratamento do câncer de mama, a paciente e seus familiares vivenciam algumas etapas até a aceitação da doença e adesão ao tratamento, que fazem parte do processo de enfrentamento. Objetivou-se identificar e analisar os enfrentamentos vivenciados por usuárias do sistema público de saúde sobreviventes do câncer de mama, sob suas perspectivas do diagnóstico, implicações emocionais, percepção sobre tratamentos e vida pós-tratamento oncológico, em um centro de referência em Recife-PE. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, desenvolvida com mulheres diagnosticadas com câncer de mama, a partir de entrevista semiestruturada. Cinco mulheres participaram da pesquisa. Com base na análise dos dados, foi possível a identificação de sobreviventes, e a construção das categorias: “o impacto do diagnóstico”, “enfrentamentos durante o tratamento” e as “mudanças após diagnóstico/tratamento”, destacando-se os principais relatos. Resultados: A análise das entrevistas evidenciou sentimentos como medo, tristeza, surpresa e até a rápida aceitação. Fatores como apoio de familiares, religiosidade e apoio da equipe multiprofissional se mostraram indispensáveis durante o enfrentamento da doença. Conclusão: As mulheres sobreviventes se veem em volta de vários conceitos, pré-conceitos, mudanças na sua autoestima, no núcleo familiar, e na reestruturação da sua imagem corporal. A assistência multiprofissional em oncologia é essencial, os profissionais devem cooperar além do conhecimento técnico-científico, pois é necessário acolher, entender e considerar a participação das pacientes nas tomadas de decisão, a fim de favorecer o sucesso da terapia e a luta pela vida.
Incidência de desfechos negativos relativos ao não tratamento do parceiro sexual em sífilis congênita no estado do Paraná
Authors: Espindola Rafael Menegati
Published: June 2023

A Sífilis é uma doença de transmissão predominantemente sexual que possui como etiologia o Treponema pallidum, uma bactéria capaz de disseminar-se pela corrente sanguínea, favorecendo o que chamamos de transmissão vertical ou infecção transplacentária em mulheres gestantes que estejam infectadas. A transmissão da bactéria de uma gestante para seu bebê pode ocorrer em qualquer fase da gestação e em qualquer estágio da doença, sendo possível até mesmo a ocorrência de transmissão direta no canal do parto – pelo contato do recém-nascido com as lesões da vagina da mãe caso essa as possua. A título de notificação compulsória classifica-se, pelo Ministério da Saúde (MS), em: sífilis adquirida, sífilis congênita (SC) e sífilis gestacional, sendo a SC de maior destaque devido ao grande número de casos em que desencadeia desfechos graves para a gestação e para a criança. Entretanto, para prevenção destes desfechos indesejados faz-se necessário o rastreio precoce da sífilis adquirida e/ou gestacional. Além disso, é necessário garantir que os parceiros sexuais recebam diagnóstico e tratamento adequados, uma vez que a transmissão horizontal (entre parceiros sexuais) é uma causa importante de reinfecção na gestante previamente tratada adequadamente. Objetivou-se mensurar a incidência de desfechos negativos relativos ao não tratamento da parceria sexual em casos de sífilis congênita no estado do Paraná. Ao final concluiu-se que o não tratamento do parceiro sexual acarreta em um maior risco de vida para o RN que seja diagnosticado com sífilis congênita.

A síndrome dos ovários policísticos é uma desordem endócrina, que afeta mulheres, sobretudo durante a idade reprodutiva, podendo acarretar em várias sintomatologias, sendo associadas a mudanças nos exames laboratoriais. Ademais, entre as pacientes acometidas, cerca de 50% apresentam sobrepeso ou obesidade, sendo considerada uma condição que aumenta as chances para o desenvolvimento da síndrome, e piora dos sinais e sintomas característicos da doença. Portanto, a adoção de um novo estilo de vida, incluindo a melhora dos hábitos alimentares, com a alimentação em alguns casos hipoglicídicas, além da prática de atividade física diariamente, podem contribuir de maneira efetiva para mitigar os sintomas e melhorar as taxas elevadas nos exames. As buscas foram baseadas com a finalidade de analisar quais os efeitos gerados pela SOP e a eficácia das estratégias para emagrecimento. Sendo assim, o objetivo do trabalho foi discutir a relação entre anormalidades metabólicas e emagrecimento em mulheres com síndrome dos ovários policísticos. O estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica com uma revisão da literatura entre os anos de 20006 a 2022. As informações foram obtidas a partir de artigos científicos, publicações de revistas indexadas, monografias publicadas e de sites de pesquisa científica na internet, como Scielo e PubMed. Durante a seleção dos materiais incluídos no estudo, foram excluídos aqueles cujo tema não seja relativo ao assunto da pesquisa. Após devidas exclusões relacionadas a isto, foi efetuada a leitura do resumo para incluir ou excluir; nos que foram incluídos, foi realizada a leitura e avaliação do conteúdo do artigo na íntegra.

Published: June 2023

Compreender a fisiopatogenia da doença e entender como as terapias medicamentosas podem ser úteis no tratamento contra a COVID-19, diminuindo ou não o tempo de internação e a necessidade de intubação nos pacientes graves, em especial o uso dos corticosteroides. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa de cunho descritivo e qualitativo. Realizada por meio de plataformas de pesquisa como Scielo, Pubmed e Google Acadêmico. O tratamento inicial da COVID-19 é baseado em sintomáticos, incluindo analgésicos e antipiréticos. Existe uma ampla quantidade de fármacos utilizados no combate à doença, dentre eles: IFN-α, antibióticos de amplo espectro, antimaláricos e drogas antivirais, entre outros. O uso de corticosteroides ainda é controverso, entretanto, em pacientes com infecções virais podem modular a imunidade e atuar como anti-inflamatórios. Seu uso precoce na COVID-19 pode ser maléfico, podendo ajudar na replicação viral e interferir na resposta imunológica do organismo, causando doenças oportunistas. Ainda, não devem ser usados por mais do que 10 dias ou até a alta em pacientes com pneumonia por COVID-19. A metilprednisolona mostrou ser mais eficaz que a dexametasona reduzindo taxas de mortalidade e diminuindo tempo de internação em UTI, entretanto, outros estudos mostraram melhor eficaz com a dexametasona. O uso dos corticosteroides pode ser benéfico para o tratamento da COVID-19, entretanto, é importante entender quando ele deve ser introduzido no plano terapêutico e qual dose deve ser administrada para que os benefícios sejam maiores que os riscos que envolvem essa droga.

Já é consolidada a associação entre a alimentação com a qualidade de vida e manutenção da saúde, visto que os padrões alimentares impactam diretamente na prevenção e redução de diversas patologias, dentre elas vem ganhando destaque a correlação com a infertilidade e capacidade reprodutiva de homens e mulheres assim, este trabalho trata-se de uma revisão narrativa, que objetivou analisar os trabalhos científicos sobre qual as possíveis relações entre os padrões alimentares com a fertilidade humana. Os artigos selecionados para estudo foram extraídos das bases de dados: PubMed, Lilacs e Scielo. Utilizando como palavras-chave: Comportamento Alimentar, Fertilidade, Nutrição e seus correspondentes em inglês. Em todas as combinações foi utilizado o operador booleano And e o levantamento limitou-se aos artigos publicados em língua portuguesa e inglesa, com corte temporal dos últimos cinco anos. Observou-se que embora a compreensão dos mecanismos que causam a infertilidade em ambos os sexos, ainda seja um processo complexo e multicausal, os estudos compilados nessa revisão revelam que bons hábitos alimentares aliados a um adequado estilo de vida podem melhorar consideravelmente os resultados reprodutivos, bem como a associação dos indivíduos com hábitos cotidianos deletérios além de atrapalhar a concepção, aumentam os riscos de aborto espontâneo.
