Pressiómetros de Ménard e autoperfurador de cambridge: correlações entre parâmetros mecânicos em solos argilosos Miocénicos de Lisboa
Authors: Coutinho António , Marques Marco
Published: January 2022

Este artigo apresenta uma caracterização mecânica de argilas sobreconsolidadas miocénicas do solo de Lisboa, realizada por meio de ensaios pressiométricos. Estes ensaios foram executados no âmbito do alargamento da rede de Metropolitano de Lisboa. Os ensaios foram realizados com um pressiómetro de Ménard e um pressiómetro autoperfurador de Cambridge, ambos com capacidade para aplicar pressões de 10 MPa. Os resultados principais são apresentados neste artigo. De entre os resultados obtidos, calculou-se o coeficiente de impulso em repouso, bem como as leis de crescimento em profundidade de parâmetros de deformabilidade e de resistência. Por fim, estabeleceu-se uma correlação entre a pressão limite Ménard e a resistência ao corte não drenado. Verificou-se que as correlações habituais publicadas na literatura entre estes dois parâmetros subestimam a resistência ao corte não drenado. Contudo, algumas dessas correlações foram estabelecidas com base em ensaios cuja pressão limite era pelo menos 2 a 3 vezes mais pequena do que as obtidas no presente estudo.

Influência de filitos no padrão de fluxo e na estabilidade de taludes de cavas a céu aberto
Authors: Ventura Leonardo , Bacellar Luis
Published: January 2022

O trabalho objetivou analisar as possíveis influências que os filitos da formação Batatal propor cionam, atuando como barreiras hidráulicas, tanto no padrão do fluxo hídrico, como também, na estabilidade dos taludes das cavas finais das minas do Tamanduá, Pico e Capitão do Mato, situadas no Quadrilátero Ferrífero, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foi feita uma compilação de parâmetros hidrodinâmicos e de resistência ao cisalhamento dos diversos litotipos encontrados nestas cavas. Tais dados substanciaram uma modelagem matemática 2D por diferenças finitas do padrão de fluxo em seções geológicas representativas destas minas e a análise da estabilidade por três métodos de equilíbrio limite (Janbu, Bishop, Morgenstern Price) em 6 cená rios diferentes de padrão de fluxo. A análise da condição de estabilidade acoplada à análise de percolação se mostrou eficaz para o objetivo proposto. As componentes verticais de fluxo são relevantes para o nível de segurança de taludes e podem condicionar rupturas locais. O emprego dos valores de condutividade obtidos por retro-análise de modelos hidrogeológicos sugere a possibilidade de ocorrer fluxo pela Formação Batatal.

Authors: Jonatan Jonatan , Stracke Fernanda , Korf Eduardo , Consoli Nilo
Published: January 2022

Atécnica de melhoramento de solos de baixa capacidade de suporte utilizando cimento Portland tem sido empregada em vários países pelo mundo. O conhecimento dos fatores que influenciam o desempenho de um solo melhorado é de fundamental importância para ser possível a aplicação da técnica. Pesquisas desenvolvidas por Consoli et al.(2007, 2009, 2010) trouxeram uma metodologia racional de dosagem para solo-cimento baseada na relação índice de vazios/teor de cimento. É de conhecimento geral que o tipo de cimento influencia diretamente na resistência final do concreto. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre este efeito em misturas de solo-cimento. Neste contexto, este estudo visa avaliar a influência do tipo de cimento na resistência mecânica de um solo artificialmente cimentado. O programa experimental realizado foi baseado em ensaios de resistência à compressão simples. Foram avaliados três tipos de cimento Portland (CPV; CPII-E; CPIV), além de quatro teores de cimento (3%, 5%, 7%, 9%) e três índices de vazios (0,65; 0,73; 0,81) das misturas solo-cimento. O tempo de cura foi de 28 dias para todos os tipos de cimento. Os resul tados mostraram que o tipo de agente cimentante influencia significativamente a resistência final do solo melhorado, sendo que as maiores resistências foram obtidas, respectivamente, para o cimento Portland CP V, CP II-E e CP IV.
Algoritmo para modelação Do colapso em solos não saturados
Authors: Maranha João , Vieira Ana , Mourinha Ana
Published: January 2022

A saturação de um solo pode dar origem a deformações designadas por deformações de colapso. A anulação da sucção matricial, que representa o efeito das forças inter-partículas de natureza capilar é responsável por estas deformações. Neste trabalho descreve-se um algoritmo especialmente formulado para simular este tipo de deformações. O algoritmo descrito é aplicado na análise numérica dos assentamentos e danos provocados na fachada em alvenaria de um edifício pela saturação ocorrida numa zona do solo de fundação.

Liquefação de solos à luz da mecânica aplicada
Authors: Viana da Fonseca António
Published: January 2022

Há uma crescente convicção da vantagem em encarar o fenómeno de liquefação de solos como passível de ser considerado como um comportamento elastoplástico que é modelável a partir de conceitos baseados em estados críticos, enquanto se reconhece que pode ocorrer num largo espectro de materiais e con dições. Estes assuntos são desenvolvidos neste artigo, atendendo a que as ferramentas de estados críticos têm sido estendidas a outros materiais para além das areias. Esta abordagem integra o conhecimento da influência que a micromecânica das partículas e dos seus contactos tem no comportamento dos solos, e tem em conside ração os efeitos da quebra progressiva das partículas e as alterações do grau de uniformidade dos solos no de curso do carregamento. Os objetivos do dimensionamento com base em comportamento são apresentados à luz de ensaios em laboratório e de campo que permitem identificar o risco de se espoletar o fenómeno de lique fação, tanto em condições cíclicas, como estáticas. Também será discutida a forma como os resultados desses ensaios podem ser interpretados para se poder prever o fenómeno, à luz de uma abordagem mecânica global.
Uso dos ensaios de penetração de cone, desagregação, sucção e resistência à tração para avaliar a erodibilidade
Authors: Araujo Rodrigo , Campos Tácio
Published: January 2022

Apesar dos muitos estudos em diferentes áreas, como pedologia, geografia e geotecnia, a erosão superficial de solo é um fenômeno bastante complexo ainda não completamente compreendido. Neste trabalho, as amostras coletadas de três solos, selecionadas com base nas feições erosivas que apresentavam em campo, foram submetidas a ensaios de desagregação e de penetração de cone, propostos na literatura como avaliadores da erodibilidade de solos, e também a ensaios de sucção e resistência à tração, propostos aqui como possíveis métodos indiretos indicativos da susceptibilidade à erosão de um solo. Pôde-se concluir que os ensaios de desagregação e penetração de cone apresentam resultados de boa qualidade, sendo satisfatoriamente representativos do comportamento que se pode esperar em campo para os solos de uma maneira geral. Trata-se, portanto, de ensaios muito úteis, uma vez que apresentam a vantagem de serem de execução muito simples e fácil. Os estudos realizados indicaram ainda que a sucção e a resistência à tração também demonstram relação direta com o processo erosivo.

INTRODUCTION:

The Veterans Health Administration introduced a clinical reminder system in 2018 to help address process gaps in colorectal cancer screening, including the diagnostic evaluation of positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) results. We conducted a qualitative study to explore the differences between facilities who performed in the top vs bottom decile for follow-up colonoscopy.

METHODS:

Seventeen semistructured interviews with gastroenterology (GI) providers and staff were conducted at 9 high-performing and 8 low-performing sites.

RESULTS:

We identified 2 domains, current practices and perceived barriers, and most findings were described by both high- and low-performing sites. Findings exclusive to 1 group mainly pertained to current practices, especially arranging colonoscopy for FIT-positive patients. We observed only 1 difference in the perceived barriers domain, which pertained to primary care providers.

DISCUSSION:

These results suggest that what primarily distinguishes high- and low-performing sites is not a difference in barriers but rather in the GI clinical care process. Developing and disseminating patient education materials about the importance of diagnostic colonoscopy, eliminating in-person precolonoscopy visits when clinically appropriate, and involving GI in missed colonoscopy appointments and outside referrals should all be considered to increase follow-up colonoscopy rates. Our study illustrates the challenges of performing a timely colonoscopy after a positive FIT result and provides insights on improving the clinical care process for patients who are at substantially increased risk for colorectal cancer.

Published: January 2022

INTRODUCTION:

Various chronic pain conditions go along with functional and structural brain changes. This study aimed to investigate functional and structural brain changes by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with chronic abdominal pain.

METHODS:

Sixty-four subjects were included in the final analysis (32 IBD patients with chronic abdominal pain; 32 age-matched and sex-matched controls). All patients suffered from chronic abdominal pain, defined as a score of ≥3/10 on the visual analog scale for at least 3 months in the past 6 months. Besides structural MRI, resting state functional MRI was used to compare functional connectivity of 10 networks between groups.

RESULTS:

Patients with IBD showed no structural brain alterations but a significantly increased resting state functional connectivity of the secondary somatosensory cortex within the salience network.

DISCUSSION:

Because the secondary somatosensory cortex saves sensory stimuli and compares novel information with latter experiences, these functions may be maladaptive in IBD patients with abdominal pain.
THE IMPORTANCE OF A COMBINED 3D MODEL OF GROUND AND GEOTECHNICAL STRUCTURE
Authors: Vaníček Ivan , Jirásko Daniel
Published: January 2022

The rapid progress of digitalisation in civil engineering is also happening in the branch of geotechnical engineering. BIM is a part of this process. The mutual connection of a 3D model of ground with a 3D model of geotechnical structure can help to give a clearer view of the interaction of this structure and ground. At the same time it also makes possible better control for all participants in the construction process, particularly if all conditions of this mutual interaction are fulfilled. There is considered whether the main aim of the construction process, namely that the care devoted to the individual phases of the structure design and execution actually correspond to the risk with which this structure and ground are indeed connected. Within this context a closer specification of the Eurocode 7 of the second generation will be identified , especially as it relates to different models.

Gresik Regency has been trying to implement a green open space policy in the form of a child-friendly park. It is very substantial for Gresik Regency to have a park that can be both as outdoor space for children and also air pollution filter. This study aims to identify the relationship between perceptions of the quality and utilization of green open space with child psychological well-being. Data was collected using Perception of the Quality and Utilization of Green Open Space scale and Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire that obtained from parent’s assessment. The results suggested that there was a relationship between the perception of the quality and utilization of green open space with the child’s psychological well-being in the dimension of strength, specifically in developing prosocial behavior. However, there was no relationship in the dimension of difficulties. The results also obtained that the perception of the quality and utilization of green space in Gresik was good. Even so, the community still perceived the lack of park safety factors. They also infrequently visit the park. These results can be used as an evaluation for the Local Regional Government to improve the safety and comfort factor of the park.

Can Competitive Digital Games Support Real-Time Music Creation?
Authors: Studley Thomas , Drummond Jon , Scott Nathan , Nesbitt Keith
Published: January 2022

This article presents practice-based research exploring the interplay of real-time music creation and competitive gameplay. Musically creative video games, apps, and sound art are first surveyed to highlight their characteristic avoidance of competitive game elements. The relationship between play, games, and musical activity is then examined with reference to theoretical perspectives from ludomusicology and game studies, revealing a series of mechanical and aesthetic design tensions emerging between competitive gameplay and music creation. Two original music games are presented to explore this interplay across contrasting design approaches: EvoMusic engenders an abstract competitive dialogue between the player and system for authorial control, while Idea presents a more explicit ludic framework with goals, progression, danger, and victory. The games are evaluated in a comparative user study to capture the player experience of composing within competitive game settings.

Participant responses revealed conflicting expectations for ludic and compositional experiences. Idea was the preferred game, yet its strong ludic elements distracted from or disincentivized music creation; EvoMusic offered more focused music creation yet also a weaker gameplay experience for lacking these same competitive elements. This relationship reflects the theoretical design tensions suggested by ludomusical scholarship. Further, a majority of participants characterized EvoMusic as being simultaneously competitive and creatively stimulating. The implication is that competitive games can support music creation for certain players, though it remains challenging to satisfy expectations for both within any one system. Design recommendations are drawn from these insights, and the potential for future research into creative music games is discussed.
A (Silent) Game of Words

Published: January 2022

When Jeremy Soule, composer for some of the most well-known video game franchises in the world such as Guild Wars and The Elder Scrolls, was accused of sexual misconduct by women in the gaming industry in 2019, the internet hosted reactions from several fronts. From questioning the victims’ credibility to taking a neutral position while waiting for further development, gamers and fans made use of digital platforms to express either concern, astonishment, or doubt; these reactions point to the significant symbolic capital that Soule possesses in the context of video game music.

The Elder Scrolls franchise, and in particular Skyrim, is highly recognized for its soundtracks, and this franchise has given rise to the largest mods community to date. In previous research, I examined this mods community in order to consider music and sound in relation to immersion and modification in Elder Scrolls games. Since the data collected in that earlier research was limited to a time span until 2017, the recent developments concerning composer Jeremy Soule weren’t addressed in that earlier setting. However, these allegations were part of a larger phenomenon of awareness and public exposure of negative and abusive practices in several labor contexts in the video game industry, shedding some light on a much-needed discussion about sexism and mistreatment toward women and nonbinary professionals in these fields and raising some pertinent questions concerning users’ feedback and engagement.

This article aims to discuss the possible impacts these accusations had on the relationship between Soule’s music and users in the mods community, including users’ overviews of their own personal affective engagement with the games, thus verifying the deep connection between music, interactivity, authorship and gamer identity.

Background and aim — Gratiola officinalis extract has antimicrobial properties, but its wound healing activity has not been described. Material and Methods — The aqueous solution of dry Gratiola officinalis extract was used for treatment of skin wounds with different routes of administration. In the experiment 40 white laboratory male rats with weight of 150±50 grams were subjected to the incised model of flat skin wounds in the interscapular region under the general anesthesia. A morphological study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of the therapy administered. Results — The most effective method of treatment was found to be local application of the extract, which reduced wound healing time by 8 days. Intramuscular and oral administrations reduce healing time by 6 days. Morphological signs of regeneration, which developed under the influence of Gratiola officinalis extract, allowed to estimate the wound healing activity. Clear differentiation and thickness of layers of the newly formed epidermis, a large number of thin-walled vessels and actively proliferating fibroblasts indicate an active regeneration process. Conclusion — This extract may be interesting to specialists in regenerative medicine as a remedy for treatment of wound processes.

Background — One of the main causes of hyperergic postoperative tissue response could be a prolonged opening in the septum between normally isolated anatomical regions, e.g., of the nasal cavity and oropharynx in patients with congenital disorders of maxillofacial region, which leads to anomalous exchange of their microbiotas. Objective — The objective of this study was to determine the composition of culturable facultative anaerobic microbiota of oronasopharyngeal mucosa, and to identify cytokine profiles in patients with congenital disorders of maxillofacial region in both preoperative and postoperative periods. Methods and Results — Our study is based on the results of examining the children with unilateral congenital cleft of upper lip (CL) before and after surgery, as well as examining the children with simultaneous unilateral congenital cleft of upper lip and palate (CLP) before and after primary rhinocheiloplasty. We used ELISA to determine the content of interleukin-10 (IL-1β) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the samples of blood serum and mucosal surfaces. The study of culturable microflora was conducted in patients before the surgery and during a postoperative period, specifically at one, three, six, and twelve months. Isolation of pure bacterial cultures was performed via conventional bacteriological methods followed by identification using MALDI-TOF testing. Before the surgery, microbial colonization was observed at significantly higher levels in CLP children than in healthy children. After the surgery, microbiological indicators partially came to normal values solely in CL patients. Local IL-1β concentrations remained significantly higher than those found in healthy subjects. In terms of postoperative dynamics, blood plasma antioxidant activity declined below normal values in CLP patients. Conclusion — Our study demonstrated the need for preoperative eradication of potential pathogens (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp., Candida spp. and Streptococcus spp.), preferably, via using non-antibiotic approaches, such as probiotics and phage therapy, as well as supportive integrative therapy (e.g., using antioxidants).

There are several factors that can affect student activity during the teaching and learning process. From preliminary observations found that SMK Karanganyar Wikarya does not yet have adequate facilities to support teaching and learning activities. The problem in this study is the level of student activity that is very low. The population in this study were all students of class XI Department of Office Administration Vocational School Wikarya Karanganyar which numbered 40 students. Researchers took a whole sample from the population because of the small population of 40 students. The variables in this study consisted of independent variables namely Parental Attention, Learning Facilities, Teacher Creativity while the dependent variable was Student Activity. Data collection method is done by Questionnaire / Questionnaire. The data analysis method uses regression analysis with SPSS tools. The results showed partially the parent's attention variable (X1) and teacher creativity (X3) did not significantly influence the student activeness variable (Y). while the Learning Facilities (X2) significantly influence the student activity variable (Y).

Analysis of Korean Middle School Students’ Scientific Interpretation Differences With or Without Arrows in the Energy Pyramid
Authors: Kim D.
Published: January 2022

This study analyzed differences in Korean middle school students’ scientific interpretation of the energy pyramid diagram, which is a central concept of ecosystem learning, based on whether or not arrows were presented in the chart. Two classes that did not show statistically significant differences in school science academic achievement were selected. One class was shown the energy pyramid diagram with arrows, and the other without.  A quasi-experimental design was adopted for quantitative research. The study found that the group interpreting the energy pyramid with arrows had a statistically significant scientific interpretation than the group interpreting the energy pyramid without arrows. In other words, arrows aided understanding of the concepts of size, biomass, and energy transfer of biological elements in the energy pyramid. In addition, the arrows aided understanding of the meaning of each piece of a pie chart, as the amount of biomass or energy being transferred to the next level of nutrition as pieces of a pie chart. Thus, it was concluded that the arrows in the energy pyramid were efficient visual elements in conveying the flow of matter and energy between living creatures. Based on the results, this study recommends that science textbooks should use arrows for more efficient understanding of scientific phenomena throughout textbooks beyond only the “ecosystem” topic.
Green Organizational Culture and Organizational Performance: The Mediating Role of Green Innovation and Environmental Performance
Authors: Imran M. , Arshad I. , Ismail F.
Published: January 2022

This study aims to develop and test a theoretical model that empirically examines how green organizational culture affects organizational performance. Additionally, investigated and statistically explored the study model's and their mediating role of environmental performance and green innovation, which had previously received little attention. For the sample size of 170 respondents, a quantitative approach was used. In addition, convenient random sampling was utilized to get data from the respondents. Data was gathered from a field survey utilizing a closed-ended questionnaire from Malaysia's industrial and service organizations from Malacca, Johor, Selangor, and Kedah states. The structural equation modelling approach was used to achieve the research purpose. Green organizational culture was a significant predictor of green performance in this research. Furthermore, the findings reveal that environmental performance and green innovation fully mediate the relationship between green organizational culture and organizational performance. However, this study has several limitations that lead to future research directions. The study's most significant drawback is that the data is collected merely from Malaysian industries, making generalization difficult. In addition, the cross-sectional data adds further restrictions to it. Nevertheless, by addressing organizational performance, which has not been empirically examined, this research adds to the current literature on green organizational culture, environmental performance, and green innovation. Furthermore, this research also presents a novel theoretical explanation for the relationships by understanding the mediating role of environmental performance and green innovation.
Filosofia africana da educação: por uma cartografia da encruzilhada
Authors: Ferreira dos Santos Luis Carlos
Published: January 2022

O texto apresenta uma Filosofia Africana da Educação a partir da cartografia da encruzilhada das Filosofias africanas. O tímido diálogo dasfilosofias a partir das experiências africanas na filosofia da educação brasileira se evidencia no combate ao negro-africano no projeto políticobrasileiro. Portanto, problematiza o enclausuramento epistemológico desde a cartografia da encruzilhada na crítica e superação do semiocídiocultural e do epistemicídio, apontando uma descolonização no sentido do educar.

BACKGROUND

Opioids are indicated for moderate-to-severe pain caused by trauma, ischemia, surgery, cancer and sickle cell disease, and vaso-occlusive episodes (SCD-VOC). There is only limited evidence regarding the appropriate number of doses to prescribe for specific indications. Therefore, we developed and implemented an opioid prescribing algorithm with dosing guidelines for specific procedures and conditions. We aimed to reach and sustain 90% compliance within 1 year of implementation.

METHODS

We conducted this quality improvement effort at a pediatric academic quaternary care institution. In 2018, a multidisciplinary team identified the need for a standard approach to opioid prescribing. The algorithm guides prescribers to evaluate the medical history, physical examination, red flags, pain type, and to initiate opioid-sparing interventions before prescribing opioids. Opioid prescriptions written between January 2015 and September 2020 were included. Examples from 2 hospital departments will be highlighted. Control charts for compliance with guidelines and variability in the doses prescribed are presented for selected procedures and conditions.

RESULTS

Over 5 years, 83 037 opioid prescriptions in 53 804 unique patients were entered electronically. The encounters with ≥1 opioid prescription decreased from 48% to 25% between 2015 and 2019. Compliance with the specific guidelines increased to ∼85% for periacetabular osteotomies and SCD-VOC and close to 100% for anterior-cruciate ligament surgery. In all 3 procedures and conditions, variability in the number of doses prescribed decreased significantly.

CONCLUSION

We developed an algorithm, guidelines, and a process for improvement. The number of opioid prescriptions and variability in opioid prescribing decreased. Future evaluation of specific initiatives within departments is needed.
