Authors: Uju Ibekwe Matilda , Dennis Alasia Datonye
Published: February 2021

Background: It is known that HIV infection is a risk factor for hearing loss. Therefore this study is to determine the pattern and severity of hearing loss and whether there is a correlation between the CD4 count and hearing impairment in the HIV positive adult patients seen in the infectious outpatient clinic of university of Port Harcourt teaching hospital (UPTH).Methods: A hospital based descriptive cross sectional study of consecutive patients that are HIV positive seen in the infectious outpatient clinic of UPTH within a period of three months, from May to July of 2020. The biodata, history of hearing difficulties and management of the disease was obtained using a semi structured questionnaire. All the patients had otoscopy done and hearing assessment with pure tone audiometry (PTA). The analysis was done with the SPSS version 25 software at a 95% confidence interval and a p value less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results: The study involved 234 subjects comprising 127 males and 107 females. Hearing impairment was seen in n=113 (48.29%). The patients with CD4 count less than 500 cells/mm2 was found to have more hearing loss; 55.8% than those with counts greater than 500 cells/mm2. Age distribution was statistically significant with a p=0.0001.Conclusions:  The pure tone audiometric pattern in the majority of the studied population was more of CHL. The age, duration of ARVT and the CD4 count all had statistically significant association with hearing loss in the HIV positive adults.

Published: February 2021

Background: Objective of the study was to evaluate role of diagnostic reliability of morphological characteristic of ovarian and adnexal masses to compare and correlated in sensitivity of ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (USG with CT and MRI).Methods: This study was conducted in department of radiodiagnosis, Sri Aurobindo medical college and PG institute, Indore from August 2019 to September 2020. A total of 100 OPD patients of adnexal masses including both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. All 100 patients had undergone sonographic assessment and CA-125 levels were assessed; where 70 patients were correlated with CT and 30 patients were correlated with MRI with a standardized research protocolResults: A total of 100 patients included in the study. The mean age was 42.05±2.3.  68 (68%) patients were Premenopausal and 32 (32%) patients post-menopausal. 19 (19%) of patients had family history of ovarian carcinoma, whereas 81 (81%) of patients had negative family history of ovarian carcinoma. 32 (47%) patients in premenopausal group had increased Ca-125 levels, whereas 18 (56.2%) patients in postmenopausal had increased Ca-125 levels.Conclusions: MRI proved to be highly sensitive and accurate in differentiating benign and malignant lesions of adnexal masses which were indeterminate on ultrasonography examination. Thus, MRI can be considered as second most confirmatory tool followed by tissue diagnosis in women with indeterminate masses.

Authors: Sindhu Majinder S. , Sood Sandhya , Aggarwal Ritu , Singh Kulbir
Published: February 2021

Background: Moderate hypo fractionated PMRT is convenient for patients and is particularly beneficial in busy radiotherapy department like in developing nations. Furthermore, PMRT can be given with or without bolus as per institution protocol. The purpose of this study was to do dosimetric comparison of with and without bolus plans in patient undergoing hypo fractionated PMRT and to assess acute toxicity of treatment.Methods: Our study is single institution prospective study done at DMCH cancer center Ludhiana, Punjab, India. Study period was from March 2020 to October 2020 and we included post mastectomy patients irradiated by hypo fractionated regime. After CT simulation and contouring, rapid arc radiotherapy plans were evaluated and DVH analysis was done for PTV and OARs. Acute toxicity was assessed during treatment and 1 month post radiotherapy treatment. Ethical approval was not taken due to COVID 19 pandemic emergency, but also hypofractionated PMRT is standard of care. Statistical analysis was done on SPSS, Version 20.0Results: A total of 30 patients were analyzed which received mean PTV dose of 42.3Gy in 16 fractions (8 fractions with and 8 without bolus).We were able to achieve adequate PTV coverage in plan sum which included both bolus and non-bolus plan. However, use of bolus resulted in statistically significant increase in low dose volume mainly V4Gy of ipsilateral lung in left sided breast cancer cases. Despite use of bolus no patient had above grade I skin toxicity.Conclusions: Moderate hypo fractionated PMRT with and without bolus is well tolerated with minimal acute side effects. It is important to note that use of bolus results in higher V4Gy volume of ipsilateral lung more precisely in left side breast cancer cases.

Published: February 2021

Background: Malnutrition continues to be a major problem in India and is rightfully described as “the silent emergency.” Sociocultural factors and rural urban disparity in health services in our country further impact the health outcomes. The effects of malnutrition are long-term and trap generations in the vicious circle of poverty. Improving nutrition is therefore essential to accelerate economic growth and development of the country.Methods: It was a community-based cross-sectional study conducted among 200 under five children residing in rural Udaipur, Rajasthan. Random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. A structured validated questionnaire was used to collect socio demographic data, birth history, Anganwadi beneficiary status etc. Mid upper arm circumference (MUAC), weight and heights were recorded and classified as underweight, wasted and stunted, using standard World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.Results: This study revealed that 58% of the study population was stunted, 45% was wasted, 54% was underweight and 5% was overweight of the study population was overweight. Regarding the association of malnutrition parameters with other factors, it was found that malnutrition was high among female children, lower socioeconomic class, children of low educated mothers and children who were not exclusively breast fed.Conclusions: To combat malnutrition in India, there is need of multifaceted approach, taking into account the sociocultural determinants, demographic variables, especially in rural areas. In addition to providing supplementary nutrition, innovations regarding specific interventions targeted towards vulnerable population is necessary.
Prevalence of myopia in school children in Southern Rajasthan
Authors: Deshmukh Utkarsh , Mehta Rishi
Published: February 2021

Background: Among the refractive errors, myopia is the most common in school children. Due to myopia, school children are unable to see the blackboard which severely affects their performance. Moreover, they are unable to play outdoor sports thereby hampering their all-round development.Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational and analytical study. All children from 5-12 years attending eye OPD were included. Detailed history was taken and complete ophthalmic examination was done. Low myopia was defined as refractive error of -0.25D to -3D. Moderate myopia was defined refractive error of -3.25 D to -6 D. High myopia was defined as refractive error of ≥-6D. The children were divided into 3 groups according to their age (in years): group-1 (5-7), group-2 (8-9) and group-3 (10-12). The data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis using IBM SPSS version 24.  P value was calculated by chi-square test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:   153 children were examined, out of which 72 (47.1%) were males and 81 (52.9%) were females. Group-1, group-2 and group-3 had 38, 38, 77 children respectively. Out of 153 children, 26 (16.99%) were found to be myopic. Out of 26 myopic children, males were 11 (42.3%) and females were 15 (57.69%) (p>0.05), Low, moderate and high myopia was found in 19 (73.07%), 6 (23.07%) and 1 (3.84%) child respectively.Conclusions: The prevalence of myopia in school children is 16.99%. There is a need for regular screening of school children to diagnose myopia in them. The limitation of this study is hospital based and small sample size. So, we recommend a community-based study with a larger sample size.

Published: February 2021

Background: Surgical treatment of functional tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) with left-sided valvular disease still remains a challenge for the cardiac surgeon. We present our observations and results on the usage of Teflon felt as an economic and easily available option for the management for tricuspid disease with an emphasis on the ease of procedure.Methods: In this study 50 (27 male and 23 female) adult skulls were investigated to determine the type of asterion, its distance from important bony landmarks and also the nearby venous sinuses were measured.Results: Epidemiological data like age, gender, symptomatic status using NYHA class, intraoperative details including the procedure performed, cardiopulmonary bypass and cross clamp time were noted. Patients’ preoperative echocardiograms, postoperative echocardiograms done at 1 month, 3 month and 6 month and yearly follow ups were made note of. Most of the patients in our study group are in 4th decade of life with slight female preponderance. Tricuspid regurgitation secondary to rheumatic valvular disease involving left sided valves is the most common etiology. The average size of the teflon felt was sized to the standard SJM sizer and sized to 28.56±3.7 mm. The average CPB time is 138 min 19 sec and average cross clamp time 89 min 14 sec. Five patients had postoperative RV dysfunction out of which three patients recovered with medical management. Overall in-hospital mortality in our study group is 6 (8%). 3 of them died due to low cardiac output, two patients due to sepsis and MODS and one due to bleeding.Conclusions: Annuloplasty with customised hard teflon felt is a safe, easily reproducible, economic alternative with good results and less mortality and morbidity.

Authors: Gujaran Rashmi D. , Latkar Prajakta , Jain Sulekha , Mehta Hemant
Published: February 2021

Large mediastinal masses may cause life threatening cardiorespiratory collapse depending on their location. An 18 years old female underwent ganglioneuroma excision. She had a 15×9.4×9.1 cm left sided cervico-thoracic mass surrounded by major blood vessels with mild encasement of left vertebral artery and left subclavian artery. After placing thoracic epidural, mask ventilation was confirmed with sevoflurane induction, and succinylcholine was given for intubation. Invasive monitoring of blood pressure was obtained with intravenous access in upper and lower limbs. For lung isolation, coopdech bronchial blocker was inserted into left main bronchus. Intraoperatively she was maintained on atracurium infusion, sevoflurane in oxygen air mixture. With a left hemiclamshell incision, mass was carefully separated from surrounding blood vessels and removed en bloc. After surgery patient was extubated and shifted to intensive care unit for observation. Patient was pain free and comfortable. Though our patients anaesthesia management and surgery was uneventful, we would like to discuss the potential complications that may arise with posterior mediastinal tumours as there are few articles discussing about the anaesthetic management of posterior mediastinal tumours.

Published: February 2021

Background: This randomized controlled trials was conducted for systematic comparison of suture mesh fixation (SMF) versus glue mesh fixation (GMF) in open inguinal hernia repair with regards to chronic groin pain, recurrence, operative time, post operative pain and postoperative complications.Methods: This study was a single-center, prospective randomized, controlled trial of two groups. It compared post-operative outcomes of mesh fixation with suture (Group A) versus glue (Group B). It was done at Baroda Medical College and S.S.G. Hospital, from May 2018 to January 2019 for case study, intervention and followed up for 9 months till October 2019.Results: Intra operative time duration for mesh fixation is less in Group B (glue mesh fixation) as compare with Group A (suture mesh fixation) with the statistically significant p value of 0.003. Post-operative pain score (mean VAS score) is significantly less in group B. Mean VAS in group A was 1.27 at 3 month while in group B was 1.06 with the p value of 0.048 on 3 month, which is statistically significant. It suggests that chronic groin pain (pain at or after 3 month) significantly less in group B as compared with group A.Conclusions: Mesh fixation by glue has advantage of less intra operative time duration and less post-operative pain and chronic groin pain as compare to mesh fixation by suture.

Authors: Puttaraju Shashidhara , Purushotham Sanhitha
Published: February 2021

Background: Hiatus hernia refers to condition in which elements of the abdominal cavity, most commonly the stomach, herniate through the oesophageal hiatus into the mediastinum.Hiatal hernia is a frequent finding during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Type I hiatal hernia is the sliding hiatal hernia, which accounts for more than 95% of all hiatal hernias with the remaining 5% being paraesophageal hiatal hernias taken together. Surgical therapy is recommended for patients with severe and refractory GERD symptoms such as poor compliance to long-term medical therapy and young patients wishing to avoid lifetime medical treatment. The objective of this study was to identify the associated symptoms and to determine diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic evaluation in patients with hiatus hernia.Methods: Current retrospective study comprised of 250 patients who presented with complaints of upper gastrointestinal symptoms and underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in JSS hospital, Chamarajnagar during the period of October 2018 to May 2020.Results: Out of 250 patients, 162 males (64.8%) and 88 females (35.2%) were part of the study, who presented with upper GI symptoms, 12 (4.8%) patients were diagnosed with hiatus hernia. Out of these 12 cases, 9 patients (75%) were found to be having sliding type of hiatus hernia and 3 patients (25%) having rolling type.Conclusions: Early diagnosis and timely management or surgical intervention reduces morbidity associated with hiatus hernia and acid reflux. Hence, all patients presenting with persistent upper gastrointestinal symptoms should undergo upper GI endoscopy managed accordingly.

Authors: Selvarajan Rajasekar
Published: February 2021

Background: Open appendectomy is practiced for more than a century and in the recent times small incision appendectomy is also practiced frequently. The efficacy of conventional appendectomy and small incision appendectomy in terms of pain, operating time and duration of hospital stay and have produced conflicting results. Hence this study was conducted to assess the same.  Methods: A hospital based randomized controlled trial study was conducted among the patients with appendicitis undergoing surgical intervention for the same in department of general surgery in Sri Muthukumaran Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Chennai, during the study period from January 2017 to December 2019. A total of eighty cases with acute appendicitis were included in the study. Group A (n=40) includes conventional open appendectomy cases and group B (n=40) includes small incision open appendectomy cases. Data entry was done using Microsoft excel and data was analyzed using SPSS version 17. Results: Blood loss, post-operative pain scores on day 1 and day 2, duration of hospital stay were found to be reduced in Small incision open appendectomy group compared to conventional open appendectomy group. Duration taken to resuming the normal activities and the complications were found to be similar in both conventional and small incision appendectomy group and small incision open appendectomy group.  Conclusions: Small incision open appendectomy is superior to conventional open appendectomy in terms of length of hospital stay, return to normal activity, blood loss and postoperative pain scores, which are considered the major advantages of minimally invasive surgery.

Authors: Durgesh N. Siva , Teja V. Viswa
Published: February 2021

Background: Cholecystitis can be divided into simple and severe cholecystitis. Untreated simple cholecystitis resolves within 7–10 days if it does not progress to more severe cholecystitis. Aims and objectives were to evaluate whether neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio can differentiate between simple cholecystitis and severe cholecystitis. To evaluate role of NLR as a prognostic indicator.Methods: The source of data for our study will be patients admitted in the department of general surgery diagnosed with acute cholecystitis in Konaseema Institute of medical sciences and research foundation, Amalapuram. All patients between 15 to 70 years of age with a clinical diagnosis of acute cholecystitis confirmed with histopathology study. Results: With an NLR value of 4.35, the sensitivity and specificity were 67% and 87%, respectively. Therefore, we considered 4.35 as the cutoff value, and divided the patient population into two groups: those with preoperative NLR values below 4.35 (n=50) and those with values equal to or greater than 4.35 (n=15). 53.33% of higher NLR group patients had severe cholecystitis compared to only 8 % of patients in lower NLR group (p<0.05).  Conclusions: It was seen that the patients with cholecystitis can be divided into low risk (NLR<4.35) and high risk (NLR≥4.35) groups for severe cholecystitis as per the NLR value at admission.

PODER E GOVERNAMENTALIDADE NO PENSAMENTO POLÍTICO DE MICHEL FOUCAULT
Authors: Goulart Marcos Vinicius da Silva
Published: February 2021

O intuito deste texto é analisar as noções de poder e governamentalidade no pensamento político de Michel Foucault. Para isso, apresenta-se a crítica desenvolvida pelo filósofo a o que ele chamou de Teoria Jurídica Clássica do Poder, segundo a qual, entre outras coisas, o poder seria um atributo, algo que pertenceria a alguém. Nesse caso, a crítica se dirige ao Leviatã hobbesiano, no qual o poder soberano seria a constituição de uma unidade a partir do conjunto das vontades cedidas pelos súditos. Em função disso, a noção de governamentalidade aparece como um importante analisador das práticas de governo, de modo que com ela Foucault introduz uma forma de analisar o Poder que leva em consideração toda a complexidade da trama social. Essa noção emerge como uma forma de analisar o poder em uma perspectiva distinta daquela que aparece na teoria jurídica clássica.
UM ESTUDO SOBRE ESTADO: APONTAMENTOS A PARTIR DE BOURDIEU E WEBER
Authors: Noleto Sylvana De Oliveira Bernardi
Published: February 2021

O artigo resulta de um estudo teórico sobre a concepção de Estado vinculada à denominada “teoria compreensiva” de Pierre Bourdieu. O autor problematiza, confronta suas posições e também reconhece simetrias de suas ideias com as de Max Weber sobre o tema, em seu livro Sobre o Estado (2014). Tem-se o objetivo de fazer análise sobre o Estado brasileiro atual a partir dos conceitos formulados pelos autores e outros. É um texto que problematiza os conceitos de Estado, instituição, institucionalização e identifica o Estado como detentor de poder e produtor de violência simbólica. Discute o capitalismo e a ideia de que o Brasil é um país que alinha-se aos preceitos do capital. O Estado brasileiro está em crise; é uma crise mundial, estrutural, de base econômica. Observa-se um Estado vinculado à ideologia do capital, à reprodução dessa ideologia e à sua materialização em forma de políticas para os campos sociais.

Published: February 2021

O artigo procura analisar a maneira do cientista da religião lidar no contato com as expressões religiosas. Acredita-se que o fazer antropológico agrega às ciências das religiões, sobretudo por sua formação histórica. A antropologia passou das concepções evolucionistas do homem aos trabalhos onde o próprio pesquisador se põe em contato com o outro. Isso exigiu seu aprimoramento na relação observador/observado. Assim, este trabalho conta com as contribuições das obras de Geertz e Goldman. Por evocar um amplo horizonte metodológico, a pesquisa em ciências das religiões pode absorver das demais disciplinas aprendizados significativos. A antropologia oferece aos estudos de religião um método de pesquisa que trata os envolvidos de forma igualitária e exige do pesquisador considerar o observado não como objeto, mas sim como um ser humano. Participar das rezas, dos cânticos, dos batuques e partilhar de experiências sobrenaturais permite captar o sentido de determinado sistema de crenças para o sujeito.
SER DE DIREITA E DE ESQUERDA HOJE: A POLÍTICA PELO OLHAR DE UNIVERSITÁRIOS RECÉM-INGRESSOS
Authors: Tabata Stéphanie Chiconeli , Euzébios Filho Antonio
Published: February 2021

Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada com jovens universitários, e investiga o que pensam sobre política e o que entendiam por esquerda e direita – quais seriam as instituições e/ou movimentos que caracterizariam os campos políticos, ou simplesmente se há antagonismo. Utilizamos os conceitos de política e consciência de classe em Marx para analisar as informações obtidas. Da intepretação teórica, temos que as noções de direita e esquerda indicaram, de forma geral, princípios balizadores de certas subjetividades políticas. Mesmo em um cenário de crise de representatividade, especialmente observado entre jovens, os referenciais de esquerda e direita permanecem com fronteiras claras entre eles. A oposição entre esquerda e direita se manifestou pela rivalização de determinados partidos e movimentos sociais: MBLxMTST, PTxPSDB/PSL. Concluímos que, para este público específico, esquerda e direita apareceram como campos em oposição no debate político nacional, mas as caracterizações destes campos não recorrem, necessariamente, a noções como classe social.

A CURA PELA VIA ALTERNATIVA DA RELIGIÃO
Authors: Ribeiro Antônio Lopes
Published: February 2021

Vivemos numa sociedade em que muitas pessoas experimentam um profundo vazio existencial devido à perda de sentido para a vida, ocasionados sobretudo por problemas de saúde física e psíquica, tendo como principais fatores o descaso em relação à saúde pública e a fragmentação da própria sociedade. Não sem razão, a religião tem sido intensamente procurada nos dias de hoje para solução dos diversos tipos de problemas enfrentados pelas pessoas, muitos deles não solucionados pela iniciativa pública, como é o caso da saúde. Seguimentos religiosos como o neopentecostalismo e a RCC, com suas sessões de cura, e missas de cura e de libertação, respectivamente, tem sido a grande esperança de milhares de pessoas que procuram as igrejas evangélicas e católica, para obter, pela via transcendente, a cura de suas doenças, de ordem física ou psíquica.

A realidade das medidas socioeducativas é complexa e apresenta inúmeros desafios, especificamente quando se trata do cotidiano vivido pelas adolescentes na medida de privação de liberdade. Isso porque, para além dos atravessamentos de classe, de raça-etnia e de gênero, as meninas que cometeram atos infracionais e estão em internação, vivenciam os efeitos perversos da criminalização e da desigualdade social que marcam, historicamente, suas vidas e subjetividades. Dessa maneira, a proposta desse artigo é apresentar o potencial das metodologias participativas e grupais em termos de contribuição para o trabalho da socioeducação. Essa perspectiva metodológica, nos permite defender que, nos casos da adolescente autora de ato infracional, é possível beneficiar-se da medida socioeducativa, desde que essa seja desenvolvida em um contexto institucional que seja realmente educativo, que cumpra o seu papel de ofertar um atendimento que respeite a condição da jovem como pessoa em desenvolvimento.
IMPACTO DE FATORES INDIVIDUAIS E SOCIAIS NA VITIMIZAÇÃO DE JOVENS DA CIDADE DE GOIÂNIA-GOIÁS
Authors: Campos Daniela Cristina , Zanini Daniela Sacramento
Published: February 2021

Este artigo teve como objetivo investigar a influência de fatores individuais e a influência de fatores sociais nas vivências de diferentes tipos de vitimização. Participaram do estudo 442 estudantes universitários de duas instituições de ensino superior de Goiânia, Goiás. A variável preconceito apresentou relação com vitimização por crimes convencionais no último ano, vitimização por pares no último ano e a vitimização por maus-tratos ao longo da vida. O baixo apoio social teve poder explicativo para a ocorrência de vitimização por maus-tratos no último ano. Altos índices de autoeficácia expuseram a vitimização sexual no último ano, ao longo da vida e quando associado a ser mais jovem e ter sofrido menos preconceito, esse efeito foi potencializado.

¿Cuál es el impacto de las adquisiciones en el sector de infraestructura?: Número especial de Infraestructura para el desarrollo No. 3
Authors: Morales Olga , De Waziers Benedicte , Salazar Adriana
Published: February 2021

La adecuada dotación de servicios de infraestructura en las sociedades ha probado ser un pilar fundamental para el desarrollo sostenible permitiendo aumentar la calidad de vida, reducir los niveles de pobreza, estimular el crecimiento económico y promover la inclusión social. Estos impactos positivos mantienen a la infraestructura en un lugar primordial en las agendas de la inversión pública de los países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Además, su continuo desarrollo se traduce en cantidades gigantescas de inversión en la región canalizadas en su mayoría a través de contrataciones y compras públicas que se ejecutan en proyectos de infraestructura. En este sentido, las adquisiciones adquieren un enorme potencial que las convierte en una herramienta estratégica que puede ser utilizada para promover objetivos ambientales, sociales y económicos y para alcanzar el desarrollo sostenible, incluyendo el cuidado del medio ambiente, el incremento en la participación de pequeñas y medianas empresas y la inclusión de grupos en desventaja. En este reporte, primero, exploramos el impacto de las adquisiciones en el ciclo de los proyectos de infraestructura, así como, en el alcance de los objetivos de desarrollo de los países de ALC. Segundo, se describen los desafíos y las necesidades relativas a las adquisiciones en la región y en diferentes sectores de infraestructura, así como el valor de promover el aprendizaje sobre las adquisiciones a partir de las experiencias en la ejecución de los proyectos de infraestructura. Finalmente, se examinan proyectos de infraestructura financiados por el BID bajo los siguientes tres ejes de análisis: 1.Identificación de necesidades y planeación de las adquisiciones 2.Ejecución del proceso de adquisiciones 3.Supervisión de la ejecución de contratos
Análisis de narrativas infantiles y juveniles
Authors:   Universitat de València, Lluch Gemma
Published: February 2021

En ’Análisis de narrativas infantiles y juveniles’ proponemos un modelo ecléctico para entender cómo funcionan las narraciones dirigidas a niños y adolescentes desde el análisis del discurso. Partimos de los mismos métodos aplicados a otras literaturas pero sin olvidar las particularidades de la infantil. La primera parte del libro describe este modelo y la segunda lo aplica a diferentes narraciones. Hemos elegido aquellas narraciones que pueden funcionar como un patrón de los relatos orales, de los literarios, los televisivos y los cinematográficos. Porque Fernando Alonso, Walt Disney, Jules Verne, Heinrich Hoffman, Roald Dahl, o ’Star Wars’, ’Indiana Jones’, ’Pesadillas’, ’Manolito Gafotas’, ’La Cenicienta’ tienen en común una forma de narrar literaria o comercial, escrita o audiovisual, antigua o actual, local o global, pero siempre eficaz y representativa de una manera de contar historias que gusta, entretiene, educa o ayuda a crear una competencia literaria y narrativa.
Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis based on Residual Neural Network
Authors: Liang Haopeng
Published: February 2021

Because rolling bearings have been working in an environment with complex and variable working conditions and large noise interference for a long time, the bearing fault diagnosis method has a poor diagnostic effect under variable working conditions. To solve this problem, we propose a residual neural network based on the diagnosis method of rolling bearing fault. The proposed method takes rolling bearing time-domain signal data as input. Because bearing signals have strong time-varying properties, we construct a multi-scale residual block that can not only learn features at different levels, but also expand the width and depth of the residual neural network. We use the advantages of the dilated convolution to expand the receptive field, replace part of the ordinary convolution in the multi-scale residual block with the dilated convolution, and design a multi-scale hollow residual block. The advantage is that the method is made by expanding the receptive field. It has a strong feature learning ability and can learn better features under limited data. Finally, we add a Dropout layer to discard a certain proportion of neurons after the fully connected layer, which can effectively avoid the negative impact of overfitting, and use Case Western Reserve University bearing dataset, the simulation experiment, and the SVM + EMD + Hilbert envelope spectrum, BPNN + EMD + Hilbert envelope spectrum and Resnet three ways of comparative analysis, the results show that the method under the variable condition of the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing has higher diagnosis accuracy, stronger noise resistance, and generalization ability.

Shanghai has abolished the policy of free travel for the elderly and changed it into a comprehensive allowance for the elderly. This paper analyzes the problems existing in the free ride policy for the elderly from the perspective of citizens, enterprises and the government, and then puts forward three feasible improvement strategies: one is free for limited time, the other is free for limited times, and the third is to change the unlimited implicit subsidy to the quota explicit subsidy, which has reference significance for improving the free ride system for the elderly.
Efeito do tratamento osmótico nas propriedades mecânicas de fatias de abacaxi (Ananas comosus) desidratadas em secador de leito fixo
Authors: Rodrigues Fernanda , Marfil Paulo Henrique Mariano
Published: February 2021

Um dos métodos mais antigos utilizados para conservar um alimento é a secagem. Esse método reduz a quantidade de água do alimento, inviabilizando a multiplicação de microrganismos e as reações bioquímicas de deterioração, porém, tal método pode danificar sensorialmente o alimento. Uma das técnicas utilizadas para minimizar os efeitos negativos da secagem é a utilização de métodos combinados, como por exemplo, o tratamento com pré-desidratação osmótica em solução hipertônica. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar as propriedades mecânicas das fatias de abacaxi desidratas em secador de leito fixo com e sem pré-tratamento osmótico e estudar a cinética de secagem através dos modelos matemáticos de Page e Lewis. Os modelos de Page e Lewis apresentaram bons ajustes (R²>0,99). A textura também foi estudada apresentando diferença estatística (p > 0,05) nos aspectos de dureza, elasticidade e coesividade. O processo de secagem resultou na diminuição da umidade e aumento da quantidade de sólidos solúveis e da acidez.
The Impact of Gender on Unemployment: Cross‑country and Within‑country Analysis of the European Labour Markets during Economic Recession
Authors: Medková Tatiana
Published: February 2021

This paper investigates the impact of gender on the individual probability of being unemployed and makes a cross‑country comparison across 13 European countries during the European recession. Applying a general logit model for each country and capital, whilst controlling for the year, as well as for individual and regional characteristics, the probability of unemployment was estimated using individual labour force data from 2011 to 2014. Cook’s distance is used to examine the differences between labour markets of capital regions (or cities) and non‑capital regions. Using the size of Cook’s distance, models are calibrated, and models which include the degree of urbanization and occupation type are evaluated. The results are presented in the form of a spatial map and show that gender affects the probability of unemployment in the majority of the analysed countries. Overall, the effect is lower in capital than in non‑capital regions.

Zum Begriff der Regionalität und Faktoren seiner Bestimmung anhand mittelalterlicher Blutwunderberichte
Authors: Langner Paul Martin
Published: February 2021

Der Begriff der ‚Regionalität‘ findet seit einigen Jahren in der Germanistik wieder verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit und wird in dem vorliegenden Aufsatz für die Literatur des späten Mittelalters diskutiert. Er stellt dafür drei neuere Ansätze (van Tenne, Tervooren, Mertens) für den Regionalitätsbegriff vor. Diese Konzepte sind sowohl sprach- als auch literaturwissenschaftlich fundiert. Anhand der referierten Ergebnisse wird die Dichotomie zweier Strukturen eingeführt: die ‚Abgeschlossenheit‘ eines Kulturraums und dessen ‚Durchlässigkeit‘. Diese Begriffe werden auf ihre Leistungsmerkmale geprüft. Konkretisiert werden die Ergebnisse an Blutwunderberichten aus der Mark Brandenburg.
Der siegreiche Apoll und die geschlagenen Wurschkayten: Regionaler Klassizismus im altpreußischen Hohenzollernstaat in der Perspektive einer deutschen ,Nationalkultur‘
Authors: Keller Andreas
Published: February 2021

Ausgehend von Simon Dachs Drama Sorbuisa (1644), das regionalspezifische Konflikte im Bereich von Staatsbildung, Gelehrtenwesen und Religion thematisiert, untersucht der vorliegende Aufsatz die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang zwischen Literatur und Herrschaft. Insbesondere ist dabei ein diachronisches Phänomen von Interesse, das sich als ständiges Spannungsverhältnis zwischen einem westlichen Kulturtransfer und den autochthonen Bedingtheiten einer multiethnischen und multikonfessionellen Region „Preußenland“ zu erkennen gibt. Aus philologischer Sicht steht hierfür primär eine puristische Stilprogrammatik (Klassizismus), die als Herrschaftsinstrument auf eine lokale Form der ‚obscuritas‘ trifft, auf die gewollte individualistische oder mystische Sprachsuggestion.
