Authors: Alnayhoum Farah , Camara Ibrahima Kalil , Ni̇gdeli̇ Si̇nan Meli̇h , Bekdaş Gebrai̇l
Published: November 2023

Recent seismic events have highlighted the vulnerability of reinforced concrete buildings, especially soft-story structures, to damage and collapse during strong earthquakes due to the ground's vibrational response. This study aims to mitigate these adverse vibrations using passive control mechanisms, particularly tuned mass dampers (TMDs). Conventional TMDs require a substantial mass to effectively influence the structure's lateral reactions. The research explores the use of multi-tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) and double-tuned mass dampers (DTMDs) in a soft-story building. The study uses MATLAB to estimate TMD parameters and subject the models to seismic loading. The comparative assessment of these models reveals the potential benefits of using MTMD and DTMD systems to enhance the seismic resilience of soft-story structures.
Tabako žalos mažinimas: spręsti negalima delsti. Kur dėsime kablelį?
Authors: institutas Gyvybės mokslų ir edukologijos
Published: November 2023

Tabako vartojimas yra didžiausias išvengiamas pavojus sveikatai Europos Sąjungoje. Rūkymas siejamas su 700 tūkst. mirčių kasmet. Lietuvoje rūkančių gyventojų dalis yra 5 proc. punktais didesnė negu ES vidurkis, todėl galima daryti prielaidą, kad dėl to patiriama didesnė nei vidutinė rizika ir žala.

Eurobarometro ir kitos apklausos rodo, kad 9 iš 10 rūkančiųjų žino apie tabako žalą sveikatai. Tačiau vien suvokimo neužtenka, kad žmonės norėtų ir galėtų įveikti priklausomybę nuo nikotino. Lietuvoje rūko 28 proc. gyventojų. Rūkančiųjų skaičius pastaraisiais metais mažai kinta, nors valstybė yra užsibrėžusi iki 2035 metų pasiekti, kad rūkančių asmenų skaičius sumažėtų 54 procentais. Siekdama šio tikslo Lietuva įgyvendina Pasaulio sveikatos organizacijos (PSO) sukurtas tabako kontrolės priemones MPOWER.

Tačiau pažanga nepastebima – rūkančiųjų nemažėja. Taikomos priemonės yra neveiksmingos.

Kitos valstybės taip pat susiduria su tokia pat problema, tad ieškodamos išeičių dėmesį į tabako žalos mažinimą atkreipia ES institucijos, ES valstybės narės ir kitos pasaulio šalys. Tabako žalos mažinimo priemonių įgyvendinimo poreikis yra numatytas PSO Tabako kontrolės pagrindų konvencijoje.

Svarbu suprasti, kad „žalos mažinimas“ nereiškia žalos eliminavimo. Kitose su priklausomybėmis susijusiose srityse jau pritaikytas mechanizmas reiškia, kad, pasitelkus tam tikras priemones, žalingo veiksnio neigiamas poveikis tampa mažesnis negu žalingas poveikis, kuris atsirastų šių priemonių netaikant. Kitų valstybių patirtis rodo, kad šios priemonės gali būti integruotos į tabako kontrolės politiką, siekiant mažėjančio visuomenės sergamumo, priešlaikinio mirtingumo bei pavojingų nelaimingų atsitikimų.

Žalos mažinimo mechanizmą taikančios šalys atitinkamai keičia savo tabako kontrolės politiką, daugiau dėmesio skirdamos produktams, kurių mažiau žalingas poveikis sveikatai yra įrodytas mokslinių tyrimų. Taip pat nustatoma tabako žalos mažinimo priemonių sąveika su prevencinėmis priemonėmis ir pagalbos rūkantiesiems mechanizmais. Kartu pažymėtina, kad žalos mažinimas yra tarpinis sprendimas, bet ne galutinis tikslas. Neturi būti kuriamas įspūdis, kad žalą keliantys veiksmai ar žalos mažinimo priemonės, alternatyvūs tabako produktai, yra nežalingi.

Published: November 2023

Visuomenėje sparčiai populiarėjančios ketogeninės dietos verčia kalbėti ne tik apie jų naudą, bet ir galimas rizikas. Istoriškai ketogeninė dieta pradėta naudoti epilepsijai gydyti, ilgainiui pastebėtas ir kūno svorį mažinantis, cukrinio diabeto kontrolę gerinantis, iš dalies dislipidemiją, arterinę hipertenziją mažinantis poveikis. Todėl ketogeninė dieta teikia vilčių onkologinių ligų gydyme. Visgi būtina diskusija ir apie galimai neigiamą ketogeninės dietos įtaką kūno kompozicijai, sergamumui širdies ir kraujagyslių ligomis, osteoporozės, inkstų akmenligės vystymuisi. Ketogeninė dieta taip pat sąlygoja ir mitybos nepakankamumą. Neščiosioms didėja gestacinio diabeto, vaisiaus apsigimimo rizika. Galiausiai, ilgai vartojamos mažai angliavandenių turinčios dietos lemia ir mirtingumo rizikos didėjimą.
Su liga susijęs vaikų mitybos nepakankamumas. Terminologija, apibrėžimas, atranka

Pastaraisiais metais dedama daug pastangų, siekiant apibrėžti vaikų mitybos nepakankamumą. Su liga susijęs mitybos nepakankamumas (LSMN) tarp hospitalizuotų vaikų tebėra pakankamai dažnas reiškinys net išsivysčiusiose šalyse, o tai susiję su neigiamu poveikiu ligos baigčiai. Būtina vertinti kiekvieną sergantį vaiką dėl galimos mitybos nepakankamumo rizikos ir, jei tokia yra, diagnozuoti bei nedelsiant pradėti gydymą. Greitai nustatyti mitybos nepakankamumo riziką hospitalizuojamiems vaikams gali padėti mitybos būklės vertinimo atrankos skalės. Įdiegus šias priemones, būtų galima tinkamai paskirstyti išteklius (t. y. sutelkti dėmesį į vaikus, turinčius mitybos nepakankamumą arba jo riziką, atliekant jų išsamų mitybos būklės vertinimą), pradėti gydymą anksčiau ir geriau organizuoti jų ambulatorinę stebėsena. O tai, savo ruožtu, gali pagerinti trumpalaikius ir ilgalaikius su sveikata susijusius rezultatus (sutrumpėjęs gulėjimo ligoninėje laikas, mažiau pooperacinių komplikacijų, infekcijų ir atitinkamai greitesnis funkcinis atsigavimas (raumenų masė, ištvermė) bei geresni neurokognityviniai rezultatai), nors patikimų intervencinių tyrimų įrodymų dar stinga [1].

Authors: Palacios Mosquera José Arceliano
Published: November 2023

La inflación se constituye en una variable macroeconómica muy importante en materia de niveles de pobreza y bienestar social. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el efecto que tiene la política monetaria en materia de control de la inflación, sobre las tasas de incidencia, severidad y brecha de pobreza. Respecto a la metodología, se utilizó un análisis cuantitativo de los datos mediante el modelo de regresión. En base a los resultados, se encontró que existe una relación positiva y significativa (99% de confianza) entre la variable de inflación y las tasas de incidencia, severidad y brecha de pobreza monetaria y extrema. Asimismo, se concluyó que la variable de inflación se relaciona de forma directa y significativa (99% de confianza) con la cantidad de personas que se encuentran en situación de pobreza monetaria y pobreza extrema. Por su parte, mediante el análisis de regresión con variables rezagadas, se pudo determinar que la variable de inflación tiene efectos de largo plazo sobre la incidencia, severidad y brecha de pobreza monetaria y extrema en el período 2012-2021. En función a estos hallazgos, se resalta la importancia de alcanzar un contexto de bajos niveles de inflación y estabilidad de precios, en términos de reducción de los principales indicadores de pobreza. En este sentido, una política monetaria orientada a la reducción de la inflación tendrá un efecto directo sobre la disminución de los niveles de pobreza y el incremento en los niveles de bienestar social.
Comparativa de las Medidas Cautelares Innombradas en el Proceso Laboral: Un análisis entre Colombia, Argentina, Brasil y Chile
Authors: Guerrero Fernando
Published: November 2023

Dentro del marco jurídico colombiano, la adopción de medidas cautelares innominadas en el ámbito laboral es un tema de particular importancia. Aunque estas medidas se encuentran previstas en el Código General Procesal con el objetivo de proteger derechos y asegurar la ejecución de potenciales fallos judiciales, surge la interrogante sobre su aplicabilidad y eficacia en el contexto laboral. Al observar la realidad jurídica, es evidente que ciertos magistrados laborales están implementando medidas cautelares no especificadas en el Código Procesal del Trabajo y de la Seguridad Social. Un punto de debate es si, para tales medidas, se está exigiendo a las partes un desembolso por concepto de cauciones. Establecer el requerimiento de garantías o pólizas para la aplicación de estas medidas podría comprometer su efectividad. El entorno laboral, al tratarse de un dominio donde se resguardan derechos esenciales, podría verse dificultado si se impone el peso financiero de una garantía a las partes involucradas. Es vital reflexionar sobre las razones para adoptar medidas cautelares innominadas en este marco sin requerir dichos compromisos financieros. La esencia del proceso laboral, centrada en la defensa del trabajador y el balance de fuerzas entre patrono y empleado, demanda un esquema específico de medidas cautelares adaptado a sus características y requerimientos.

The studies corresponding to the typical braided river with a mid-bar are still ongoing. This paper is to present the finding of depth-averaged velocity, Ud and bed profile at the bifurcation and confluence channel. A channel with a mid-bar and erodible bed was used in this research. The experimental work was carried out in the Hydraulic Laboratory at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, (UTM). In the experiment, two types of flow which are low flow and high flow rates were considered. The study found that depth-averaged velocity distributions are influenced by flow discharge and varied at the braided channel. The highest Ud velocity is 0.35 m/s occurred at the bifurcation area and the lowest Ud is 0.2 m/s that was occurred at the confluence area. This genesis to more erosion occurred at the bifurcation area compared to the confluence area.
Techno-economic Analysis of a Solid Fuel Testing Facility for Thermal Power Plants in Peninsular Malaysia: A Monte Carlo Approach
Authors: Mohammad Nurizat Rahman
Published: November 2023

Coal-fired thermal power plants in Peninsular Malaysia are expected to remain operational for at least another 20 years, highlighting the need for clean coal technology adoption. The introduction of new coal types necessitates the verification of their technical viability prior to adoption into power plants, which is addressed by the proposed Solid Fuel Testing Facility (SFTF) system. Hence, this study developed a Monte Carlo-based model to examine the economic factors influencing the profitability of the SFTF system as a solid fuel pre-qualification assessment tool. Three critical factors have been identified as contributors to the SFTF system's economic viability uncertainty: the Test Number, Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) Reduction, and Test Cost. In terms of Net Present Value (NPV) valuation, the Test Number has the highest sensitivity. The projected increase in coal demand necessitating the inclusion of a broader spectrum of new coal variants in power plant operations. As a result, the possibility of an expanded Test Number for the SFTF system exists until the PPA's tenure expires. Therefore, the possibility of favourable NPV outcomes remains prominent throughout the term of the PPA. In contrast, the PPA Reduction has the lowest susceptibility to NPV sensitivity. This demonstrates the SFTF system's ability to navigate policy shifts related to PPA tenure reductions, albeit within a range of 3 to 4 years of reduction. It is suggested that a broader range of parameters be considered in order to gain a more holistic understanding of the economic viability of the proposed SFTF system.

When interacting socially, not all teenage girls will feel safe, because in reality there are still many teenage girls who feel anxious and uncomfortable when dealing directly with their surroundings and thus experience social anxiety. One of the factors that influences it is body dissatisfaction. This research aims to determine the effect of body dissatisfaction on social anxiety in adolescent girls. High levels of body dissatisfaction can lead to serious consequences, such as eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. Additionally, social anxiety can limit social participation and affect interpersonal relationships. Sampling used the Nonprobability Sampling technique with the Incidental Sampling method. This research involved 347 teenage girls aged 12-21 years. The measuring instruments used in this research were the body dissatisfaction scale (29 items, α = 0.964) and the social anxiety scale (26 items, α = 0.922). The research results show that there is a significant influence of body dissatisfaction on social anxiety in female adolescents (p = 0.000 < 0.05) with an influence size of R square = 45.4% and the direction of the relationship between the two variables is positive with a value of r = 0.674. This means that if body dissatisfaction increases, social anxiety will also increase and vice versa, if body dissatisfaction decreases, social anxiety will also decrease.

How Does the Congruence of Customer Brand Memory and Nostalgia Proneness Affect Customer-Based Brand Equity: Consequences in the Chinese Time-Honored Brands Context
Authors: Zhang Wenyi , Tian Ying
Published: November 2023

Under the backdrop of Chinese time-honored brands, this paper examines the impact and mechanism of customer brand memory (CBM) and customer nostalgia proneness (CNP) on customer-based brand equity (CBBE). It takes into account the customer’s perspective and utilizes polynomial regression and response surface analysis. The study focuses on three aspects: consistency condition, difference under consistency condition, and asymmetry under inconsistency condition. The results show that: (1) CBBE increases when CBM and CNP are congruent or at similar levels; (2) the combination of high levels of CBM and CNP is more favorable for CBBE than the combination of low levels of CBM and CNP when they are congruent or at similar levels; (3) the combination of high levels of CBM and low levels of CNP is more conducive to customer-based brand equity (CBBE) than the combination of low levels of CBM and high levels of CNP when they are incongruent or at different levels. This study comprehensively examines the role of the memory-nostalgia relationship in the development of brand equity for Chinese time-honored brand enterprises. It offers new research insights for future studies and provides recommendations for brand management in these traditional brand enterprises.

Published: November 2023

This research paper investigates the impact of energy-related sanctions on the European energy sector in light of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict. The study analyzes the S600ENP index returns using data from June 2018 to July 2023, divided into three distinct periods: pre-invasion, during sanctions, and post-sanctions. Descriptive statistics and distribution analysis reveal distinct market behaviors and volatility clustering during each period. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) test does not show significant differences in mean returns across the periods, indicating relatively consistent index performance. The stationarity test suggests non-stationarity in the index returns. The ARCH model demonstrates the persistence of volatility shocks influenced by geopolitical events like Russian sanctions. The findings underscore the importance of understanding market dynamics during geopolitical uncertainty and its implications for the European energy sector. Though the representation of the S600ENP index limits the research, future studies can explore alternative datasets and periods for more comprehensive insights.

The aim of this study is to develop a digital monitoring system to track weight and evaluate its impact on postoperative outcomes after lower extremity surgeries (LES). This parallel randomized controlled trial enrolled 266 patients who underwent LES (fracture or joint replacement) at our medical center between March 11, 2022, and January 10, 2023. Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups in a 1:1 ratio. The intervention group (n=116) used a cane and shoes equipped with a weight-bearing system after lower limb surgery, while the control group (n=116) used a simple cane and shoes without a weight-bearing system. The primary outcomes included callus formation, duration of union, and success rate of union in the two groups. The intervention group had a significantly higher rate of complete surgical success than the control group (93.9% vs. 79.3%, p=0.001). The intervention group also had a significantly lower risk of non-union than the control group (OR: 2.33, 95% CI: 1.14, 3.48, p=0.001). The mean duration of surgery until the time of union and the meantime of callus formation was significantly lower in the intervention group (p=0.01). The use of a digital monitoring system for weighing in LES significantly increased the success rate and reduced post-operative complications. Therefore, incorporating this system can enhance the rehabilitation process and prevent revision surgeries in patients with LES.

The complication of diabetes, which is known as diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), is a significant concern due to its association with high rates of disability and mortality. It not only severely affects patients’ quality of life, but also imposes a substantial burden on the healthcare system. In spite of efforts made in clinical practice, treating DFU remains a challenging task. While mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has been extensively studied in treating DFU, the current efficacy of DFU healing using this method is still inadequate. However, in recent years, several MSCs-based drug delivery systems have emerged, which have shown to increase the efficacy of MSC therapy, especially in treating DFU. This review summarized the application of diverse MSCs-based drug delivery systems in treating DFU and suggested potential prospects for the future research.

Investigation into the novel synthesis and structural properties of Heterostructured core shell Silver-Silica (AgSiO2) Nanohybrid is reported herein, for possible utilization as humidity sensing material in Agricultural post-harvest humidity monitoring system and greenhouse farming. The Heterostructured nanoparticles (Ag and SiO2) were synthesized via a chemical reduction method. Structural characterizations were done using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV-Visible spectroscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. The XRD diffractogram of Ag-SiO2 showed distinct peaks at 2? values of 390, 430, 660 and 790 which was corroborated by the SEM and HRTEM results. EDX convincingly confirmed Ag and SiO2 incorporation into the Ag-SiO2 nanocomposite hetero-structure at 16.7 % and 83.3 % respectively. A Surface Plasmon Resonance absorption peak of 421 nm of Ag was revealed by UV-Visible spectroscopic analysis. An effective and relatively narrow pore size distributions of 3 – 8 nm was revealed by N2 adsorption-desorption for the Ag-SiO2 Nanocomposite. Overall, these properties are promising for effective use as humidity sensing material.
