Published: August 2022

The total informatization of all aspects of modern society leaves educational institutions no other choice than the equally intensive informatization of all managerial and educational processes. This issue is particularly acute for universities that train IT specialists, because it is better to train future professionals by using the products and technologies with which they will work after graduation.Cloud services are an ideal platform to automate the educational process, because, firstly, they do not require the cost of purchasing hardware and administering a ready-made solution, secondly, they allow a large number of users to collaborate simultaneously, and thirdly, cloud technology is the most fashionable trend right now.

Análisis de la calidad de servicio en el transporte intracantonal del cantón Riobamba, provincia de Chimborazo
Authors: Santillán Lima José Luis , Paucar Leon Cesar Estalin
Published: August 2022

Los servicios se caracterizan en lo fundamental por su intangibilidad, puesto que no se pueden percibir por los sentidos antes de adquirirlos. Se prestan y consumen al mismo tiempo que son creados, en los llamados Momentos de Verdad o decisivos que son los “episodios en los que el cliente entra en contacto con cualquier aspecto de la organización y tiene una impresión sobre la calidad del servicio. El momento de verdad expresa, como se desprende de su definición la relación que existe entre proveedor y cliente en los puntos de contacto”. Estos “preciados instantes” en los que la capacidad de cada entidad de servicios para satisfacer a sus clientes se pone a prueba determinan en gran medida los resultados que se obtendrán en el corto, mediano y largo plazo; basados en una orientación al consumidor. Se utiliza la entrevista al gerente o delegado de la empresa, mediante video conferencia se aplicará el formulario de autodiagnóstico basado en la Resolución No. ANT-NACDSGRD118-0000094, la cual nos dará el estado actual en términos de calidad. Así también Las encuestas utilizaremos para determinar la calidad del servicio que brinda el transporte intracantonal de la ciudad de Riobamba, las mismas serán aplicadas a los usuarios del transporte intracantonal en las paradas de mayor concurrencia de la ciudad de Riobamba. Dicha encuesta está diseñada para que nos ayude a identificar las variables correspondientes a la calidad de servicio, y se han establecido una muestra de 386 personas. Se puede apreciar que existe una falta de compromiso por parte de las compañías de transporte intracantonal en cuanto a calidad de servicio, para ello es recomendable que las autoridades competentes controlen de manera rigurosa a las compañías y evaluar semestralmente a las operaciones, así como al servicio brindado por las mismas.

Published: August 2022

Reading comprehension is the process of getting the main purpose of the text during reading. Students not only can read the whole passage but also comprehend and understand what the important point of the text is. However, the difficulty of comprehending text during reading is a problem for students. Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) technique is the solution to solve the problem. The aim of this research is to investigate the use of Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) technique on students’ reading comprehension. In conducting this research, the writer applied pre-experimental method and one group pretest and posttest design. This research is conducted to the first semester students of English Language Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Educational Sciences, Pakuan University. There were 20 students as the sample of this research by using random sampling. The result shows that based on t-table, the degree of freedom of 19 at significant level of 0.05 is 2.09. However, the value of t-test is 3.89. From the comparison between the value of t-test and the t-table, it can be concluded that the value of t-test is higher than t-table (3.89 more than 2.09). Thus, the alternative hypotheses of this research (Ha) is accepted.  Therefore, CIRC technique affects students’ reading comprehension..

Published: August 2022

Modern agricultural techniques have a detrimental effect on ecosystems, and hence ecofriendly agriculture is required for sustainable agriculture with biodiversity conservation. Spiders play a vital role in keeping pest populations under control as an alternative to chemical pesticides. This study assessed the functional diversity of spiders to control pest populations by estimating their diversity in diurnal and seasonal appearance, preferred microhabitats, and hunting strategies. From August 2020 to November 2021, random quadrate sampling was undertaken in cultivated and wild plant communities. A metaanalysis of the ecology and diversity found that spiders have the capability to provide biological pest control against a wide variety of pests in Odisha’s coastal environment.

Published: August 2022

The present study was aimed to ascertain the effect of male parent irradiation (in context of radio-genetic ‘Inherited sterility technique’ (IS), for Spodoptera litura suppression) on the cultivable gut bacteria of its F1 progeny of irradiated males (100Gy, 130Gy) in relation to control using culture dependent method. The F1 progeny were subjected to isolation of culturable microbes and 16S rDNA sequence-based identification. The Scanning electron micrographs of the F1 larval guts showed the presence of biofilms associated with bacteria, as a manifestation of stress response unlike in control. The bacteria in the control were found to belong to the genera Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Enterococci, whereas in the irradiated F1 progeny Bacillus and Pseudomonas were predominantly present. Biochemical characterization and antibiotic tests of the bacteria showed a differential pattern in F1 progeny than in control. The bacterial abundance was increased due to irradiation stress, whereas the generic richness was apparently more in control than in irradiated regimens.
The Cryptocurrency Market in Kenya: A Review of Awareness and Participation by the Youth
Authors: Kamau Charles Guandaru
Published: August 2022

This study examines Kenyan youths' level of knowledge and involvement in the cryptocurrency industry. Digital currencies, known as cryptocurrencies, use a peer-to-peer technology to speed up internet transactions. The idea of cryptocurrencies started in the 1980s but has since developed significantly. The study collected secondary data and conducted online surveys. In this study, panel data from four different cryptocurrencies' values, transaction fees, and volumes over a six-year period were studied. The findings indicate a connection between the number of cryptocurrency transactions, their prices, and their transaction costs. The research also demonstrates how much the youth in Kenya are aware of and use cryptocurrencies. This paper also highlights some factors that may be considered when engaging in crypto business. It also highlights some of the principal properties of cryptos. The study concludes that there is a need for both local and international regulation of the cryptocurrency market to boost investor confidence and improve security.
The Role of a Child Tax Policy: Population, Human Capital, and Economic Growth
Authors: Lyu Chenmei
Published: August 2022

This study analyzes the impact of a child tax policy on the population, human capital, and economic growth in an overlapping generations model with endogenous fertility and human capital. The model shows that the child tax policy inhibits population growth and promotes human capital accumulation, generating a trade-off between the quantity and quality of children. The reduced population and increased human capital both contribute to per capita income. The balance between the negative impact of the child tax policy on the population and the positive impact on per capita income ultimately determines the impact on aggregate growth. The results show that the effect on aggregate growth rate is positive when parents' preference for children is large enough, and negative otherwise. In addition, with the pay-as-you-go pension system, I find that, under feasible conditions, the effect of the child tax policy on pensions is the same as that on total growth.
Definirea metodologiei spectrofotometrice UV-VIS de evaluare a concentrației malondialdehidei ca marker al calității în trasabilitatea a trei tipuri de carne
Authors: STICI Valentina , COSTIN Tatiana
Published: August 2022

This research represents a follow-up of previous original investigation on the methodology for evaluating biochemical indicators in the quality of pork, beef and chicken in accordance with the technology of the slaughter stage. The UV-VIS spectrophotometric approach enables to determine the concentration of the malondialdehyde that in the investigation is defined as the freshness indicator of the fresh meat obtained after slaughter, which is a very important standard of traceability. In the proposed methodology, the investigated biochemical reaction consists in building the red chromogen with λ = 532 nm between thiobarbituric acid and malondialdehyde in the glacial acetic acid medium. A comparative analysis of the significant limit difference according to ANOVA was done between the meat samples kept in the thermostat and those placed in the refrigerator, and this confirmed the hypothesis of the rancidity mechanism in the raw material.
Enterprise-level analysis on awareness, practices and barriers of circular economy in the fruit processing sector: in Armenia
Authors: MARKOSYAN Davit
Published: August 2022

The current production model in the agri-food industry is not environmentally conscious and as a result, we face the challenges of extensive and inefficient resource use along with a massive amount of waste. The major objective of this study is to analyze the awareness, practices, and corresponding barriers among the selected enterprises on the circular economy. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods have been used in this study. A survey-based questionnaire has been designed by the author and 40 companies operating in the fruit processing sector (dry fruit and jams production) have been asked to fill in the survey. The results show that although 80% of the respondents are aware of the circular economy, the practices are not intensively implemented and the barriers associated are very diverse including financial burdens such as access to agricultural credits, lack of practical knowledge, and the necessary infrastructure as well as small production volumes, which doesn’t promote innovation and alternative production in the enterprises.
COP’s vulnerability to paradigm swing

COP’s vulnerability to paradigm swing

The police institution may appear to be a coherent organization geared to one specific paradigm. In practice it can be almost a different organization operating with diverse paradigms at different times. Or it can become an arena for competing paradigms, suffering from a “multiple personality syndrome” with a shifting diversity in values, structure and culture. Some three decades endeavouring to change traditional styles of policing have displayed periodic oscillation back to “real policing”. This continual shifting around the definition of policing can especially impact on attempts to implement the movement towards “community oriented policing” (COP). It is asserted here that COP is vulnerable to swings back to what some see as the core paradigm of policing – centred on crime control and maintaining order. This paper traces the dynamic of competing paradigms while seeking a solution in “honest” policing with COP at its core.
Private Security in a Plural Policing Environment in Slovenia

Private Security in a Plural Policing Environment in Slovenia

The Slovenian security sector has significantly changed and developed in the last two decades. Surprisingly, it was not the police force that mainly characterised this period of changes, but rather non-state security providers who prepared grounds to develop a plural instead of historically prevailed mono policing society. The whole process was rather specific since Slovenia became an independent state less than 20 years ago and it had to change its economic and political system from socialism to the western type of liberal democracy. In this regard, even the security sector did not remain untouched, and the process of privatisation and commercialisation of once a state controlled function began very early. If there was in the beginning of the process only one public police organisation and one state-owned (“private”) security firm, twenty years later, there is one public police organisation with around 8.500 police officers, 117 private security firms with around 6.200 security officers, as well as other security/policing providers, like private detectives and municipal/city wardens. The concept “plural police family” is actually even broader, there are some institutions that were not established for the purpose of policing, but their tasks, nature of work and special powers make them just that – another policing provider in society and in this regard, the customs service and judicial police also need to be mentioned. Nevertheless, the crucial relationship remains the one between the public police and private security firms, who together still represent the most numerous and most influential providers of security and social control in the Slovenian society. As some studies show, these relations are not perfect but also not conflictive or competitive, allowing enough space for further cooperation that strongly depend on the position of the public police as the central and dominant actor in the security sector

Police socialisation in France and in England: How do they stand towards the community policing model?

This paper deals with an international comparison of the police patrollers’ socialisation in France and in England. We will first state some common features of the police socialisation process between France and England, and we will then highlight significant differences based on the findings of an intensive qualitative fieldwork. The French police recruit is notably socialised through a perception of a dangerous job, the crime fighting dogma, and he learns to deal with an unfriendly environment and a mistrust relationship with people. Whereas his English counterpart’s socialisation process emphasizes empathy for victims, communication as a core source and force as the very last resource. Taking from this insightful knowledge of police socialisation (and thus of police culture in England and in France), we finally discuss the English and French police stands towards the community policing model, especially showing how problematic this model is when relating to French police culture.

The importance of relating theory and practice when teaching police students

The general trend of scientific and academic professionalization of practical professions, challenges practical professions all over the world. On the basis of interviews and surveys among police students, this study examines what police students experience to be good teaching at the Police University College. In accordance with Dewey (1916), the results clearly demonstrate the importance of relating theory to police practice in social science. For this reason, it is suggested that obligatory participation in police patrols and other police work should be a requirement for teachers in social science at the Police University College. Surprisingly, the students pointed to engagement and to relate theory to practice as important skills of a teacher as knowledge of the subject, to be prepared for lessons and pedagogical skills. Engagement and to relate theory to practice may also be important characteristic of good teaching at other universities with education related to practical professions, such as nursing and teaching.

Policing Paris: ‘Out of’ or ‘still in’ Napoleonic Time?

No scholar, policy-maker or practitioner of policing could be taken seriously who did not acknowledge and take into account the radical transformation which privatization and pluralisation has brought to the field of policing (Jones & Newburn, 2006). Nevertheless, this transformation is largely influenced by the nature of the policing tradition in each nation state. To illustrate this argument a descriptive analysis of plural policing in the metropolis Paris is presented. Being part of the Napoleonic policing tradition in France, Paris takes up a unique political and administrative position which affects its security architecture. It stands out as the most developed example of centralisation and the State’s wish to control its citizens. Despite the observed pluralisation in terms of privatization; Paris is still a ‘state’ in the state. Its Napoleonic tradition largely ‘suppresses’ civil non-commercial initiatives and influences the development of municipal police forces and other public uniformed surveillance agencies in Paris.

Colouring or Changing the Belgian Police? About Faces and Ways of Policing

In this paper, produced in the framework of an internal seminar regarding the place of migrants in the police, for the first time the available knowledge regarding the inclusion of ‘migrants’ in the police forces in Belgium is assessed through a review of political, scientific and professional sources. The analysis encompasses the terms used to describe this population, for example as ‘new Belgians’, the evolution of the context and the motives given since the nineties to the development of initiatives aimed at increasing the presence of those particular citizens amongst police forces, as well as the debates on those issues. The presentation of the concrete modalities of this integration, based on the previously stated knowledge and its obvious limitations, focuses on the known outcomes of those initiatives and the gap between what is said and what is done. It is therefore a first step towards a better understanding of a recurrent issue. As such, it might contribute to further debates, whether in the political or the professional fields.

Minority Police Officers’ Contribution to Police-Ethnic Minority Conflict Management

Encounters between the police and citizens with migration background are prone to conflict. In order to guarantee intercultural competent policing, police services are staffed with officers who have a family migration background. Drawing on conflict competence literature, we examined the resulting benefits and costs for police-ethnic minority conflict management by employing personnel with an ethnic minority family background. The sample of our interview study comprised 14 German police officers. The interviewees reported on the role of colleagues with a Turkish family background as either conflict resolvers or conflict intensifiers. Data suggest that police officers with an ethnic minority background significantly contribute to intercultural conflict resolution. Minority police officers’ conflict intensification can be framed as being a point of friction. We conclude that minority police officers are beneficial to police-ethnic minority conflict management and suggest continuous monitoring of minority police officers’ roles by police authorities. This is the first study on intercultural conflict management in policing, explaining the conflict resolving and intensifying contributions of minority police officers.

Policing Online Child Sexual Abuse: The British Experience

Incidents of child sexual abuse (CSA) are frequently documented and have recently attracted intense police, public scrutiny and efforts of social control across the Western world. This paper aims to explore the very concerning issue of online CSA and the way in which the police is responding to this growing problem. It will present some of the challenges the police in the United Kingdom face daily in dealing with the threats to children’s online safety. It argues that although proactive undercover policing has helped police forces to unmask sex offenders1 who predate innocent victims online, the advancement of technology is making the work of police officers more and more challenging. The findings presented have been collected over the last decade (2003-2013) during two exploratory, grounded theory studies, which involved the interviews with 21 police officers and forensic examiners and the observation and analysis of three police operations at the London Metropolitan Police Paedophile Unit in London.

Talking to the Man: Some Gendered Reflections on the Relationship Between the Global System and Policing Subculture(s)

This paper reflects on the interplay between the transnational subculture of policing and the subculture of transnational policing and pays particular attention to the encoding of masculine tropes within them. It uses the culture/subculture distinction to illuminate how gendered masculine identities help to mediate the relationship between the broader culture of control and the occupational subculture(s) of policing. The paper is part of an attempt to theorize global policing as a synecdoche of the global system, an idea that is fundamentally challenging to our ideas about the boundaries of the state. In this paper we draw attention to the specifically ‘masculinist’ nature of the discourse concerning global policing practice, which is often essentialized in dyadic terms; in extremis, in terms of chivalrous knights and rapacious Bluebeards. The paper looks at the militarization of US policing and briefly explores the global terrain of public order policing in the contemporary period, again drawing attention to the masculine tropes that pervade the scene. The paper endeavors to show how the prevalence of problematic masculine role-types in the enactment policing subculture(s) affects the global system.

Nonadversial peer reviews of policing operations: Fostering organizational learning

This paper sets out to describe and explore experiences gained in the course of ten years with a non-blaming, nonadversarial learning methodology, as applied in the context of the policing of major events, where at the request of a host, peers gather data during events as they occur and a one-sided focus on errors is avoided. This peer review methodology appears to contribute to organisational learning in three different ways: hosts receive informed and constructive feedback, reviewers gain additional experience and insights and the exchanges taking place in the course of or following the reviews (e.g. in seminars) contribute to the identification of good practices and development of professional norms. Experiences show that the interactions taking place between participants also facilitate mutual understanding and cooperation. Interestingly, quite apart from the products obtained through the methodology, the peer review process itself proved to foster reflection and learning.

Police culture, talk and action: narratives in ethnographic data

The idea of police culture is almost as old as the field of police studies itself, and has been traced to the coincidence of concerns about violent and discriminatory police conduct with shifts in intellectual fashion, including a turn towards ethnography. This article considers some criticisms of the idea of police culture before engaging with a recent narrative turn in analysis. Drawing on fieldnotes from an ongoing ethnographic study of police in England it explores the use of a narrative approach to fieldnotes. The article concludes that extending the narrative approach to police work in this way shows significant potential for developing our understanding of why police behave as they do. Ethnography alone can provide the kinds of unique insights into overlapping and interconnected narratives that help to situate and order the particularities of police work in relation to the broader social and political context.

Exploring Criminal Investigation Practices: The Benefits of Analysing Police-Generated Investigation Data

Current police practices, such as criminal investigations, generate a variety of data that are potentially available to social science researchers. Despite the vital importance of criminal investigations in police operations, there has been limited research on criminal investigation practices. Here, we explore how research analysing police-generated investigation data would contribute to criminal justice and police research, and police organizations. We provide examples from Norwegian police registry data such as national criminal registers, police case files and data from forensic DNA databases. Police registry data may contribute to opening the ‘black box’ surrounding criminal investigation practices, thereby providing important insights into practices that are crucial for the development of organizational learning and knowledge creation. The original contribution of this paper is that it explores the untapped potential of analysing police-generated investigation data for research purposes, an issue that has not been sufficiently addressed in the literature on police performance and organizations.

Is Police Culture Echoed in Southern Europe? The Case of Novice Police Constables in Cyprus

It is often maintained that police norms, values, and beliefs, undergo fragmentation due to a series of causes. That is, the polymorphic nature of policing, the diversity of police personnel, and the dissimilar socioeconomic and political settings which surround the sphere of policing. As a result, the saliency of police values and beliefs (police culture), especially when put against an international backdrop, is doubted, if not denied. Such being the case, the article examines whether or not, police culture, as documented to subsist in Anglo-American police organisations, is reflected in the Cyprus Police.

What is police research good for? – Reflections on moral economy and police research

This paper presents a ‘third order reflection’ on the practices and limitations of police research in a case study of the moral economy of a police gun-crime panic. It approaches the questions ‘what is police research good for?’ and ‘what matters in policing?’ through a critique of police-oriented, evidence-based police (EBP) research. The paper suggests that partnerships between police and academics are structured by performance metrics and the rhetoric of New Public Management. Both academics and police are enveloped in the ‘politics of numbers’ and thereby struggle to overcome a narrow outlook. Ironically, evidence-based policing research produces evidence of a different kind, having to do with police practices that reveal the assumptive world of the police métier and thereby help to generate the foundations of third order reflection and critique. Describing a gun-crime panic in a specific time and place, and relating it to the broader moral economy of policing governance of which it is a part, is a practical demonstration of how to take EBP police research far beyond its limitations to the more fertile grounds of third order reflection.
Police reform, research and the uses of ‘expert knowledge’

Police reform, research and the uses of ‘expert knowledge’

This paper examines the interplay between research and police reform. Focussing on the creation of Scotland’s national police force in 2013 it examines the role of research as ‘expert knowledge’ in the political and policy debate leading up to the reform and the on-going evaluation of the impacts and implications of the new police force. The paper also situates the relationship between research and reform in the context of the role played by the Scottish Institute for Policing Research, a strategic collaboration between Scotland’s universities, Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority. The analysis is informed at a conceptual level by the work of Boswell and her consideration of the different ways in which bureaucratic organisations make use of expert knowledge. This focuses attention on both instrumental uses (ensuring decisions are based on sound reasoning and empirical understanding) and symbolic uses where knowledge plays a role in enhancing legitimacy or helping substantiate policy preferences in areas of political contestation. These different uses of expert knowledge have important implications for thinking about the role of police-academic partnerships.

Authors: RODOPLU ŞAHİN Didem , GEDİK GÖÇER Sultan , BAYGIN Özge
Published: August 2022

Havayolu işletmeleri hizmetlerine olan talebi daha iyi yönetebilmek için birtakım stratejiler kullanmaktadırlar. 1970’ lerde başlayan deregülasyon ve beraberinde artan rekabet havayolu endüstrisinde gelir yönetiminin önemini ve farkındalığını artırmıştır. Gelir yönetimi uygulamalarının esası yolcu talebinin etkin kontrolüne dayanmaktadır. Bu amaçla yapılan uygulamalardan biri ise bir uçuştaki koltuk sayısından fazla rezervasyon oluşturulması yani overbookingdir. Uçaklar yalnızca kapasitesinde koltuk sayısı ile uçabilmektedir.. Overbooking hem yolcu hem de havayolu üzerinde doğrudan ilgili bir süreçtir. Bu sürecin yönetimi aktarmalı seferden gelebilecek yolcuya, yolcu listesinde uçma önceliği olan yolculara, tek ya da aile olarak seyahat edilmesi durumuna vb. durumlara göre değişiklik göstermektedir.

Çalışmanın amacı, havayolu işletmelerinde uygulanan gelir yönetimi uygulamalarının ve overbooking modelinin performans ölçme aracı olan Dengeli Performans Kartı yaklaşımı (Balance Score Card) ile değerlendirmektir. Dengeli Performans Kartı yaklaşımı ile havayolu işletmelerindeki overbooking uygulamalarını literatür taraması ile etraflıca incelemek, içerik araştırması yapmak, havayolu işletmelerinin uygulama çerçevelerini ortaya koymak, overbooking senaryoları ile önerileri geliştirmek, havayolu işletmeleri için gelecekte yapılabilecek gelir yönetimi ve performans değerlendirme çalışmalarına katkıda bulunmak amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada havayolu işletmelerinde özellikle overbooking modelinin işletmeye katkıları farklı overbook senaryoları ile araştırılmıştır. Problemleri araştırmak amacıyla yapılan bu çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır.

O presente artigo tem como foco de análise o papel que as Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TIC) vêm desempenhando para o avanço do processo de internacionalização da educação superior em nível institucional. Objetivando desenvolver uma reflexão teórica em torno desta temática, discute a atual conjuntura conceitual e prática no que tange ao desenvolvimento do processo de internacionalização em Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), bem como a capacidade de apropriação do uso das TIC no contexto da educação. Desse modo, o estudo problematiza as possibilidades, contribuições e impasses advindos da utilização das TIC com vistas à promoção e institucionalização das dimensões internacional e intercultural aos objetivos, funções e oferta educação superior. A partir das reflexões aqui desenvolvidas, argumenta-se que as TIC têm se transformado em importantes veículos para o processo de internacionalização, de modo a proporcionar a democratização da formação intercultural para a comunidade acadêmica, bem como possibilitar a inserção das IES no cenário internacional.

Parents have an important role in the formation of self-concept in children. Children who receive positive treatment will have a positive self-concept and vice versa. Children who receive unpleasant treatment from their parents will have a negative self-concept. Parents are one of the main factors that can influence the formation of self-concept in a child. If the child erred, the parents directed the child, advised, and gave understanding so that the child could understand to correct his mistakes in an appropriate way. Positive self-concept arises from good self-qualities, no hesitation in acting, daring to try, and daring to make decisions. On the other hand, children who receive unpleasant treatment from parents, such as often getting naughty and stupid words when making a mistake, will appear a negative self-concept in children. Negative self-concept arises from the poor quality of self-adjustment, doubts in oneself, fear of trying and not daring to make decisions. This article aims to describe the role of parents in parenting until their self-concept is formed. The method used is a literature study. This paper is a form of view resulting from a literature study conducted by the author of books and journals related to the Role of Parenting in the Formation of Children’s Self-Concept. The results obtained from the studies carried out explain that parental parenting has an important role in shaping self-concept in children.

Squeeze casting was used to prepare aluminium alloy-6061/titanium diboride (TiB2) to create a composite with varied TiB2 quantities. The composite's metallographic structure, tensile strength, and hardness have been explored. The tensile strength and hardness of produced metal matrix composites increased when a particle of TiB2 was increased from 5 to 10 vol.%. This study uses electrical discharge machining (EDM) to investigate the output response tool wear rate (TWR). Variables in EDM operation were investigated, such as current, pulse on time, and voltage gap. The experiments were designed using the Box–Behnken strategy. Statistical approaches were used to analyse the experiments. At ideal settings for TiB2 concentrations of 5 and 10 vol.%, TWR was 0.2146 and 0.1749 mm3 min-1 and surface roughness was 2.47 and 3.03 µm, respectively. TiB2 is utilized in automobile disc brakes, an industry where components slide against each other. The alu­minium alloy-6061/titanium diboride has many applications as a biomaterial and is a good prospect.

Đặt vấn đề/ Mục tiêu: Vắc xin mẫu chuẩn quốc gia IPV được thiết lập nhằm phục vụ công tác kiểm định chất lượng vắc xin. Theo nhu cầu của kiểm định thì số lượng vắc xin phải nhiều và chất lượng ổn định để dùng trong khoảng thời gian dài (10 năm trở lên). Sản xuất vắc xin mẫu chuẩn chia làm 2 nội dung chính. Thứ  nhất là thiết lập và đánh giá tiêu chuẩn, thứ hai là thiết lập và đánh giá tính ổn định. Vì thế việc xác định  tính ổn định của vắc xin vô cùng quan trọng và chiếm phần lớn công việc trong việc thiết lập vắc xin mẫu chuẩn quốc gia. NICVB đã thiết lập thành công số lượng vắc xin mẫu chuẩn IPV theo qui định. Trong nghiên cứu này chúng tôi trình bày quá trình nghiên cứu tính ổn định của vắc xin mẫu chuẩn IPV.

Phương pháp: Sử dụng một lô vắc xin mẫu chuẩn đã đặt hàng sản xuất từ POLYVAC thiết lập tiêu chuẩn mẫu chuẩn, sử dụng phương pháp ELISA để đánh giá hàm lượng kháng nguyên của mẫu chuẩn, đồng thời sử dụng quy trình nghiên cứu tính ổn định nhiệt bao gồm qui trình về thời gian nhiệt độ theo hướng dẫn của tổ chức y tế thế giới 4oC, 25oC, 37oC theo các thời gian khác nhau: 1 tuần, 2 tuần, và 4 tuần đối với các týp 1,2,3. Số liệu được xử lý theo phương trình Arrhenius để tính hạn sử dụng của vắc xin mẫu chuẩn IPV.

Kết quả: Kết quả cho thấy lô văc xin mẫu chuẩn quốc gia MCQG.IPV-01 với số lượng 1500 týp đạt yêu cầu về tính ổn định nhiệt theo thời gian cả 3 týp 1, 2, 3 và hạn sử dụng đến 10 năm.

Kết luận: Vắc xin mẫu chuẩn quốc gia IPV sau khi nghiên cứu đạt yêu cầu được đưa vào sử dụng có tính ổn định với tiêu chuẩn týp 1: 6,239 (95% CI: 5,326 – 7,151) DU/ml,  týp 2: 10,737 (95% CI: 9,504 – 11,970) DU/ml , týp 3: 17,438 (95% CI: 15,365 – 19,511) DU/ml khi cất giữ ở -700C

Đặt vấn đề/ Mục tiêu: Nghiên cứu đặc điểm và tỉ lệ nhiễm HBV ở người hiến máu tình nguyện lần đầu tại Trung tâm Huyết học Bệnh viện hữu nghị Việt Tiệp Hải Phòng.
Phương pháp: Nghiên cứu cắt ngang. Xác định HBsAg bằng test nhanh sắc ký miễn dịch và xét nghiệm miễn dịch tự động hóa phát quang.
Kết quả: Tỉ lệ nhiễm HBV khi test bằng test nhanh là 3,0% và tỉ lệ tăng thêm 0,4% khi thực hiện bằng miễn dịch hóa phát quang. Tỉ lệ nam giới có kết quả test nhanh HBsAg dương tính cao gấp 5 lần nữ giới. Độ tuổi < 20 tuổi có tỉ lệ nhiễm HBV cao nhất. Người nhiễm HBV theo nhóm máu cho thấy chủ yếu là nhóm O.
Kết luận: Tỉ lệ dương tính với HBV trong số những người hiến máu lần đầu thấp, sàng lọc HBV bằng test nhanh có nhiều ưu điểm nhưng tuy nhiên vẫn còn nhiều hạn chế, không sàng lọc được hết tất cả trường hợp mang HbsAg.
