Clichés balzaciens : une esthétique de l’ambivalence
Authors: Gal Maria
Published: November 2020

Cet article propose une réfl exion sur le lieu commun ; entendu, conformémentà Aristote, comme mode d’expression didactique privilégié. À partird’une analyse du cliché balzacien, il s’agira de déterminer quelles sont les composantesformelles de ce « mode d’expression » et quels en sont les mécanismes.Ce qui permettra, dans un deuxième temps, de répondre aux questions suivantes: comment le cliché « parle-t-il » aux « masses » ? Et dans quel but ? Enfi n,l’article élargira la perspective, et visera à établir des parallèles entre les clichésbalzaciens et d’autres formes, antérieures, de mise en narration didactique desimages : les paraboles.
Roland Barthes : la résurrection du stéréotype
Authors: Carluccio Daniele
Published: November 2020

« La Doxa est un mauvais objet parce que c’est une répétition morte,qui ne vient du corps de personne – sinon peut-être, précisément, de celui desMorts », dit Roland Barthes dans un fragment de son autobiographie. La reformulationsuggère qu’il y a bien un « corps », sous la Doxa. Le présent article estconsacré à cette hantise barthésienne de la chose doxique, telle qu’elle se manifestedans les Mythologies, à propos des mythes, ces « cadavres parlants ». Lecommentaire prend pour objet particulier le texte sur le catch, lu à la lumière del’essai sur Michelet et du thème, cher à l’historien, de la résurrection. Il s’attacheà montrer que le mythe christique, comme le rapprochement avec la tragédie,transfi gure le mythe prosaïque du catch, dans la vision et dans l’écriture de Barthes.
Su "Paura seconda" di Vittorio Sereni
Authors: Diaco Francesco
Published: November 2020

L’articolo è dedicato all’interpretazione di Paura seconda di Vittorio Sereni.Dopo una dettagliata analisi stilistica, viene ipotizzata la presenza di unareminiscenza dalla Gerusalemme liberata, coincidente con la memoria involontariadegli episodi della selva di Saron. La comparazione con Tasso permette,inoltre, di valorizzare numerosi aspetti del testo sereniano, quali l’animismo,l’autonominazione, la denegazione, il senso di colpa e la pulsione al suicidio (inlinea col côté nichilistico di Stella variabile).

Todo lo cual provocará un sintomáticodesconcierto entre la crítica literaria. Al análisis de algunas de las problemáticasque la gestación del relato generacional del 2000 ha encontrado a lo largo de laprimera década del siglo xxi está dedicado este artículo.
UTICAJ SAUDIJSKE KOALICIJE NA NACIONALNU BEZBEDNOST JEMENA
Authors: Djoric Marija , Milosevic Tanja
Published: November 2020

U radu se analizira uloga Saudijske Arabije u ratu u Jemenu, kroz formiranje Saudijske koalicije. Istražen je motiv uplitanja Saudijske Arabije u građanski rat u Jemenu, sa krajnjim ciljem identifikovanja ishoda intervencionističkih aktivnosti Saudijske koalicije na terenu, kao i negativnih promena u političkoj i bezbednosnoj situaciji te zemlje. Analizom sadržaja, prikazani su stavovi unutrašnjih aktera u Jemenu – međunarodno priznate vlade, etnoseparatističkog Južnog tranzicionog saveta i pobunjeničke grupe Huta – o uticaju Saudijske Arabije na jemensku politiku. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da su, iako je Saudijska Arabija intervenciju u Jemenu pravdala potrebom da potpomogne očuvanje nacionalnog integriteta i suvereniteta Jemena radi stabilizacije stanja na terenu i konsolidacije mira, aktivnosti koalicije izazvale suprotno. Od prvobitne ideje gašenja aktivnosti pobunjenika u zemlji, pripadnici koalicije doveli su do cepanja zemlje na dva dela, i dodatnog jačanja trećeg, etnoseparatističkog faktora na terenu.

Authors: Despotovic Ljubisa , Glisin Vanja
Published: November 2020

U radu ćemo nastojati da prikažemo kontinuitet anglosaksonskih geopolitičkih doktrina i strategije američkog osvajanja i militarizacije istočne i jugoistočne Evrope u vremenskom kontinuitetu od početka Hladnog rata do danas. Da bismo razumeli i adekvatno odgovorili na temu i predmet istraživanja, uvodni deo rada posvetićemo ključnim anglosaksonskim geopolitičkim doktrinama koje su temelj američke strategije, unutrašnjepolitičkog ustrojstva i spoljnopolitičkog nastupanja. Potom ćemo analizirati hladnoratovsku podelu sveta kako bismo locirali primenu geopolitičkih doktrina u američkom strategijskom nastupanju na evroazijskom kontinentu i razloge za progresivnu militarizaciju sveta. Na kraju ćemo analizirati savremene tokove u međunarodnim odnosima kako bismo ukazali na kontinuiranu primenu i inoviranje anglosaksonskih geopolitičkih doktrina s posebnim osvrtom na efekte američkog delovanja prema Srbiji i srpskom narodu.
VOJSKA I TERORIZAM ALTERNATIVNA PERSPEKTIVA OPRAVDANOSTI UPOTREBE ORUŽANIH SNAGA PROTIV TERORIZMA
Authors: Stanar Dragan
Published: November 2020

U ovom radu autor se bavi pitanjem opravdanosti upotrebe oružanih snaga, tj. vojske protiv terorizma. Cilj rada jeste ispitivanje kompatibilnosti misije i prirode oružanih snaga, sa osvrtom na Vojsku Srbije, sa terorizmom kao oblikom političkog nasilja. Analizom definicija terorizma, ali i problema prilikom definisanja ovog fenomena, autor nastoji pokazati da je taj oblik političkog nasilja moguć samo i isključivo u miru. Sa druge strane, borbena upotreba vojske mora se ograničiti samo na stanje rata, dok u stanju mira vojska svoje dodatne zadatke može vršiti samo neborbeno. U sadašnjoj paradigmi terorizma, koja je aktuelna od 2001. godine, upotreba vojske ima izuzetno negativne implikacije. Brisanjem granice između rata i mira, što je jedan od rezultata savremenog „rata protiv terorizma“ omogućava se policizacija vojske i upotreba protiv terorizma, ali se svet istovremeno uvodi u veoma opasno stanje permanentnog kvazi-rata, u kojem svako ko se označi kao terorista istovremeno gubi i prava kriminalca u miru i prava borca u ratu.

Authors: Kovács Ildiko Gabriella
Published: November 2020

This paper describes a Children’s Right to the City initiative of a Canadian provincial non-profit organization. The program and its underlying Participatory Planning Pedagogy (PPP) and curriculum follow a student-led and rights-based approach that builds upon global Child Friendly Cities scholarship. The goal of the program is two-fold: First, to uphold children’s participation rights in local decision-making by ensuring that young people’s perspectives are sought out and included in community planning initiatives, and second, to provide meaningful sustainability and citizenship education through participatory planning, and real-world local problem solving that promotes social change. Working in close collaboration with planning teams of the local municipality, the program is implemented within local public elementary schools. This paper will outline the PPP curriculum’s implementation in practice, present the underlying theories informing this work, and discuss benefits, challenges, and future potential of this children’s rights initiative.

Information and disturbance in operational probabilistic theories
Authors: D'Ariano Giacomo Mauro , Perinotti Paolo , Tosini Alessandro
Published: November 2020

Any measurement is intended to provide information on a system, namely knowledge about its state. However, we learn from quantum theory that it is generally impossible to extract information without disturbing the state of the system or its correlations with other systems. In this paper we address the issue of the interplay between information and disturbance for a general operational probabilistic theory. The traditional notion of disturbance considers the fate of the system state after the measurement. However, the fact that the system state is left untouched ensures that also correlations are preserved only in the presence of local discriminability. Here we provide the definition of disturbance that is appropriate for a general theory. Moreover, since in a theory without causality information can be gathered also on the effect, we generalise the notion of no-information test. We then prove an equivalent condition for no-information without disturbance---atomicity of the identity---namely the impossibility of achieving the trivial evolution---the identity---as the coarse-graining of a set of non trivial ones. We prove a general theorem showing that information that can be retrieved without disturbance corresponds to perfectly repeatable and discriminating tests. Based on this, we prove a structure theorem for operational probabilistic theories, showing that the set of states of any system decomposes as a direct sum of perfectly discriminable sets, and such decomposition is preserved under system composition. As a consequence, a theory is such that any information can be extracted without disturbance only if all its systems are classical. Finally, we show via concrete examples that no-information without disturbance is independent of both local discriminability and purification.
Los rituales deportivos y la violencia entre los hinchas de una barra brava de Bogotá
Authors:   Universidad Antonio Nariño, Bogotá, Colombia, Castro Lozano John Alexander , Arcos Parra Martha Lucía ,   Policía Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia
Published: November 2020

Los hinchas que forman las barras bravas apoyan a su equipo en las graderías por medio de canciones, aplausos y saltos. Además, creen que en las calles defienden los colores y los emblemas en los enfrentamientos. Desde afuera del grupo social, este tipo de conductas se caracterizan como manifestaciones de la fiesta del fútbol y comportamientos de salvajes que lo dañan. De esta manera, el propósito del artículo es entender la perspectiva etic de las expresiones festivas y los comportamientos violentos de los hinchas que forman las barras bravas desde las categorías sociales de ritual y de violencia. Así, se describen las manifestaciones y las conductas de los hinchas en las barras bravas para entenderlas desde una posición externa al grupo social. Por otra parte, a partir del trabajo de campo etnográfico se desarrolló la orientación metodológica del artículo, es decir, mediante la observación y participación de algunas de las actividades en Blue Rain de Millonarios, en el estadio Nemesio Camacho “El Campín” de Bogotá.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Utilization: A Veritable Tool for Academic Staff Effectiveness in Nigerian Polytechnics

There is no doubt about the fact that information and communication technology utilisation (ICT) is a life wire of any school organisation. However, planners and administrators are aware of the contributions that ICT utilisation could make to the enhancement of academic activities of the institutions. The attainment of the goals and objectives of higher institutions of learning required the availability and optimal utilisation of ICT. Based on the foregoing premise, this study examined ICT utilisation as a veritable tool for academic staff effectiveness in Nigerian Polytechnics. The concept and importance of ICT utilisation were critically examined. Challenges associated with ICT utilisation were highlighted, which include unsteady power supply, inadequate funding, poor quality of telecommunication connections, and lack of qualified ICT operators. The study concluded that the contribution of ICT utilisation to the development of entire level of education today make it necessary for the adoption of ICT utilisation by the school authorities, administrators as well as the lecturers in such a way that it easier for the utilisation of application packages (like power point presentation, Microsoft word process, spread sheet and so on), internet application (video conferencing, e-mail, data base, e-learning) and computer hardware facilities (photo copier machine, printing machine, scanners, laptops to mention but a few). This helps to improve the quality of teaching-learning process, academic and administrative effectiveness in institutions. Also, the technological devices of an institution are a major determinant factor in the actualisation of its objectives. The study recommends that proper funding should be provided for the procurement of ICT devices and equipment which are capital intensive.

Towards stroke-free coronary surgery: the role of the anaortic off-pump bypass technique
Authors: Ramponi Fabio , Seco Michael , Brereton John , Gaudino Mario , Puskas John D. , Calafiore Antonio , Vallely Michael
Published: November 2020

Coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease represent a major cause of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite technological
advancements in percutaneous interventions, surgical revascularization
remains the preferred strategy in patients with left main or multivessel
disease and in those with complex lesions with high SYNTAX score. As a
result, an increasing number of older patients with diffuse
atherosclerotic extracoronary disease are referred for coronary artery
bypass grafting (CABG). Cerebrovascular complications after isolated
coronary surgery occurs in 1-5% of patients; the magnitude of injury
ranges from overt neurologic lesions with varying degree of permanent
disability to “asymptomatic” cerebral events detected by dedicated
neuro-imaging, nevertheless associated with significant long term
cognitive and functional decline. Thromboembolic events due to
manipulation of an atherosclerotic aorta are universally recognized as
the leading etiology of early postoperative stroke following CABG.
Coronary bypass surgery performed on an arrested heart relies on
considerable aortic instrumentation associated with significant
atheroembolic risk especially in older patients presenting with diffuse
aortic calcifications. Surgical techniques to deal with a calcified
ascending aorta during isolated coronary surgery have evolved over the
last forty years. Moving away from aggressive aortic debridement or
replacement, surgeons have developed strategies aimed to minimize aortic
manipulation: from pump-assisted beating heart surgery with the use of
composite grafts to complete avoidance of aortic manipulation with
“anaortic” off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, a safe and
effective approach in significantly reducing the risk of intraoperative
stroke.
Aortic Root Enlargement in patients with small aortic annulus undergoing double valve replacement. A retrospective Comparative cohort study.
Authors: Mubarak Yasser , Abdeljawad Ahmed
Published: November 2020

Background: Small Aortic Annulus (AA) is big issue during Aortic Valve
Replacement (AVR) necessitating replacement of an undersized prosthetic
valve especially with Double Valve Replacement (DVR). Despite that small
aortic valve prostheses can lead to Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch (PPM),
there remains reluctance to perform aortic root enlargement (ARE)
procedures fearing from morbidity and mortality. Objective: To evaluate
clinical and echocardiographic outcomes in patients with small aortic
annulus undergoing double valve replacement. Methods: The study included
100 consecutive patients underwent DVR for combined rheumatic aortic and
mitral valve diseases, between Jan. 2016 and Sept. 2020. Only (50)
patients had ARE with DVR. ARE was performed using an autologous or
bovine pericardium or Dacron patch by Nicks or Manouguian procedures.
The estimated postoperative end-points were mortality, effective orifice
areas (EOA), mean aortic pressure gradient and valve-related
complications. The least postoperative follow-up period was 6 months.
Results: The study included 30 male and 70 female patients with mean age
of 35±20 years, body surface area (BSA) of 1.7 ±0.3 m2, aortic annulus
diameter was 20±1.4 mm, aortic orifice area was 0.8±0.1 cm2, and mean
pressure gradient 85±2.5 mmHg. During follow-up period, there was a mild
to moderate paravalvular leak (1%) with, (1%) heart block, and
residual gradient on prosthetic aortic valve; that was all in DVR alone.
Conclusion: Enlargement of aortic root by Nicks or Manouguian technique
is safe and effective in patients with small aortic annulus undergoing
double valve replacements.
Cooperation of the Western Balkans States: Opportunity to Overcome Security Challenges
Authors: Gashi Bejtush , Kuçi Gurakuç
Published: November 2020

The Western Balkans is dominated by its geographical position, which, after the end of the Cold War in the 1990s, was one of the regions that experienced the most difficult transition because this process was accompanied by bilateral and multilateral conflicts, with local and regional wars, with political and ethnic clashes. As a consequence, it was also politically fragmented on its map. The international community actively intervened in the Balkans with various civilian and military missions, respectively during the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and North Macedonia (former FYROM). These international interventions have yielded concrete results in the process of overall democratic reforms of the countries of the region, with particular emphasis on the security field, as well as the aspect of integration reforms in both NATO and the EU.

Fragmentation of the Western Balkans came for many historical, political, economic, military, geopolitical and strategic reasons. This process also had consequences for the integration process of this region. But it is currently fully oriented towards European and Euro-Atlantic structures. No Balkan countries including Kosovo have any other orientations besides these (there are doubts about Serbia). Serbia has stated that it does not want NATO membership, while Russia has tried and is constantly trying to cause chaos in the Western Balkans. How this chaos is caused and how the cooperation of the countries of this region has affected and is influenced is the essence of our work that will draw conclusions about how to act in the future.

Small-scale fisheries provide food security, livelihoods and income to millions of people but their management still presents a challenge to managers and other stakeholders due to problems in gathering suitable information and its incorporation in fisheries policy. Fishers are a key source of knowledge for assessment of both extractive capacity and value in small-scale fisheries, in addition to providing a broad array of cultural knowledge. The increasing recognition of the value of incorporating traditional fishing knowledge in freshwater, riverine, lacustrine and coastal and marine fisheries management is now evident in international conventions and published literature. The purpose of these guidelines is to make it easier for users to recognise and include fishers’ knowledge as an important data stream in resource management. The report includes details on the breadth of knowledge that can be gathered, how it can be gathered, and how this information can be applied to support sustainable fisheries policy and broader applications in society. With case studies from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and the Pacific.

Energy strategy of the Russian Federation until 2035 defines the goals, objectives, problems, and indicators of the development of the country fuel and energy complex in two stages: 2020–2024 and 2025–2035. It is focused on achieving two strategic priorities — sustainable social and economic development of the country and ensuring its national security and safety. The great importance is paid to the development of all major energy sectors: oil, gas, coal, petrochemical, electric power, nuclear, hydrogen. The key indicators of the development of energy sector are the following: the coefficients of reproduction and extraction of energy resources to increase in the gross domestic product, the growth in consumption of energy resources and ensure the life activities of the state. The achievement of the stated goals and indicators is linked to the strategy of the scientific and technological development in the main spheres of sustainment, increase in the level of state regulation, control and supervision over the implementation of the strategy in the field of industrial and energy safety. This will be facilitated by the long and significant experience of interaction between Rostechnadzor and the Russian Academy of Sciences. At the same time, the use of a risk-based approach gains key importance to substantiate, ensure and improve safety in the fuel and energy complex following the requirements of the federal legislation. The socio-economic efficiency of the implementation of the strategy is proposed to be quantified by the interrelated indicators of the growth rate of the gross domestic product and the increase in the level of safety. In this case, it is required to consider the emerging and acceptable risks determined through the likelihood of hazardous processes occurrence and damage from them at various stages of the country development. These approaches are reflected in the multivolume publication «Safety of Russia», summarizing the legal, socio-economic and scientific-technical aspects of safety and development of the country.

In Russia every year, according to the statistics, the most fire hazardous types of electrical installations are electrical wiring, from which 65 % of fires occurred in 2019, associated with all the types of electrical installations. Considering the urgency of the problem, the Federal Research Budgetary Institution of the All-Russian Order of the Badge of Honor, the Research Institute of Fire Defense pays constant attention to increasing the level of fire prevention studies. One of the most important tasks in the institute activities in this Проблемы, суждения 35Безопасность Труда в Промышленности • Occupational Safety in Industry • № 11'2020 • www.safety.ru field is the development, updating, modification and harmonization of the national normative base regulating fire safety requirements and methods for assessing the fire safety of electrical installations, and, above all, of course, electrical wiring. The fundamental regulatory documents are the Technical Regulations TR EEU 043/2017 and the Federal Law of 22. 07. 2008 № 123-FZ «Technical regulations on fire safety requirements», in the development of the electrical section of which the authors of the article took an active part. Particular attention here deserves Clause 2 of Article 82, which regulates the requirements for fire resistance (operability) of cable lines and electrical wiring systems for fire protection of the objects under fire conditions, and Сlause 8 of the same article, which imposes the requirements that were awaited for a long time by all the branches of industry, agriculture, housing construction and, first of all, of course, power engineers and employees of the fire service: «Cables laid openly must be flame retardant». The requirement applies to all the objects, regardless of their functional fire hazard. Over the past three years, the Institute carried out a large scientific research and rule-making work on the revision, development and substantiation of the proposed solutions for new editions of the interstate standards for various types of electrical wiring using: molded electrical wiring products, cables of increased fire resistance under fire conditions, fire retardant cable coatings and cable penetrations. In theoretical terms, the interest is in the proposed by the authors a calculation method for assessment of electrical products fire hazard, based on the stochasticity of emergency modes that cause their failure and ignition.

The aim of this work is to improve the procedure for investigating industrial incidents. The article offers the methodology for assessing the degree of fault of the incident participants, including work injuries, based on a factor analysis of the event causes. Causal factors are divided into 20 groups, allowing to cover the entire spectrum of possible causes of any event. Br ief description is given concerning the most often used methodology of incident analysis in the companies of fuel and energy complex. Based on the methods — Scale of events, Fault tree, and Five why — one of the most common incidents were analyzed, namely, falling on a flight of stairs of the office building during employee descending stairs. This incident belongs to the conditional group of End-to-end risks, that is risks inherent in all the workplaces at any enterprise. The causal factors and the exposure level on the participants of this event were determined, and the percentage of the victim’s fault was calculated. The proposed methodology is based on the practice of internal investigation of incidents of the leading companies of fuel and energy complex. This methodology will help to eliminate gaps in the legislation, bring clarity and transparency to the procedure for investigating an industrial incident in terms of determining the degree of fault of the insured (victim) in case of gross negligence. The proposed methodology will be useful for specialists in the field of occupational and industrial safety, state labor inspectors and representatives of the trade unions. It can be assumed that this methodology will motivate the employees of fuel and energy complex to work safely and increase the level of safety culture.

Published: November 2020

The task of improving the accounting system and accidents analysis at the industrial enterprises for many years has not lost its relevance, both in Russia and abroad. The root causes identification of injuries is an important stage for the development and implementation of preventive and adaptive measures to reduce the risk of injury rate of the employees. The article reflects the results of analysis for the main causes of industrial injuries, which shows the relationship between the traditional classification of injuries causes and the classification used at the state level when reporting by the authorized federal agencies. It is established that currently in Russia, when analyzing injury rate, the fairly wide range of possible causes is not considered, primarily related to the «human factor». The comparative assessment is given concerning the deterministic and probabilistic-statistical methods for analyzing industrial injuries, their main advantages and disadvantages are shown. It is established that the deterministic methods of analysis are characterized by a high level of analytical assessment of causes and factors, but the high time and labor costs of the experts involved become a serious difficulty in implementing this method. Probabilistic-statistical methods are more advanced, the methods are used to model predictive values of injuries based on the current information about the occurred incidents. Also analyzed are the characteristics of industrial injuries indicators, which are result-oriented (post factum) — lagging behind, and process —oriented (forecast) — leading. Lagging indicators are a retrospective description of the labor protection state at a production facility, while leading indicators characterize actions already performed and predict the result of the activities efficiency. The expediency of using leading indicators to make a predictive assessment of the industrial safety state and, consequently, to develop a systematic approach to minimize the number of incidents is justified.

Occupational risk assessment was carried out for the employees of 956 different professions of 20 enterprises under study in five sectors of the economy: construction, mining, manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and warehousing. The study was conducted using the Methodological Recommendation on the implementation of the occupational risk management system at an enterprise. This Methodological Recommendation was developed by the Republican state enterprise on the right of economic management — Republican Scientific Research Institute for Labour Protection of Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Occupational risks were assessed in the context of specific professions and structural divisions of the enterprises by five indicators: harmful working conditions, injury risk of the labor process, safety of production equipment, availability of personal protective equipment, and risk of morbidity. Based on the results of the assessment, the degree of individual occupational risk on each assessed indicator is determined by five gradations: I — acceptable risk, II — low, III — medium, IV — high and V — very high. According to the results of the occupational risk assessment, a high risk (4 degree) was established at the enterprises of mining, construction, agricultural industries, as well as transport, and warehousing industries. According to the results of equipment safety assessment, a high risk (grade IV) was identified at the enterprises of transport and mining industries. Due to the low provision with the personal protective equipment and its non-compliance with the certification requirements, a high risk is assigned to the enterprises of mining and construction industries. It is established that a high degree of occupational risk is due to the injury risk of working conditions, insufficient provision of personal protective equipment along with their low quality, the severity and intensity of the labor process accompanied by a high degree of the employees morbidity, as well as the use of the outdated equipment in production.

The main objective of the study was to determine the relationship between BPR strategy and performance of food manufacturing companies in Kenya. The population of the study comprised of the food manufacturing companies in Kenya. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted in data collection and analysis. Primary data was collected from respondents using structured questionnaire, while secondary data was collected from published firm’s financial reports. Out of the 75 respondents targeted by the study, 44 respondents forming 56.67% response rate, which was considered adequate for analysis. 63.9% of variations in the overall firm performance is explained by variations in the BPR strategy namely resources mobilization for BPR, sponsorship and commitment, BPR cross functional teams, analytical processes selection, BPR prototypes, management of re-engineered processes, clear BPR definition and vision. Thus, there is a significant relationship between BPR strategy and performance of food manufacturing companies in Kenya. This research makes several noteworthy contributions to the existing theory. Conceptually, the empirical relationship between BPR strategy and firm performance is significant where BPR strategy constructs independently and positively plays a role of fostering firm performance whereby the three significant predictors were: BPR prototypes, clear BPR definition & vision, and analytical processes selection. These three are distinct development elements of the BPR strategy which competitors are unable to imitate in the food manufacturing. The findings of this study offer suggestions that are beneficial to policy makers in the food-manufacturing sector in Kenya. Kenyan manufacturing firms have previously lacked fits well into the existing body of knowledge by holding that BPR strategy influence the firm’s level of performance and vice versa.

The extent of damage to formation caused by water based drilling mud containing corn cob treated with sodium hydroxide to partially replace polyanionic cellulose (PAC) as a fluid loss control additive has been studied. Core samples were obtained from a well in Niger Delta for this study with a permeameter used to force the drilling mud into core samples at high pressures. Physio-chemical properties (moisture content, cellulose and lignin) of the samples were measured and the result after treatment showed reduction. The corn cob was combined with the PAC in the ratio of 25-75%, 50-50% and 75-25% in the mud. Analyzed drilling mud rheological properties such as plastic viscosity, apparent viscosity, yield point and gel strength all decreased as percentage of corn cob increased in the combination and steadily decreased as temperature increased to 200oF. Measured fluid loss and pH of the mud showed an increase in fluid loss and pH in mud sample with 100% corn cob. The extent of formation damage was determined by the differences in the initial and final permeability of the core samples. Experimental data were used to develop analytical models that can serve as effective tool to predict fluid loss, rheological properties of the drilling mud at temperature up to 200oF and percentage formation damage at 100 psi.

To further clarify the associations between sleep and body mass index (BMI) using the most recent dataset from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Our study is notable for the inclusion of analyses with age subpopulations and subjective sleep symptoms. Cross-sectional study was performed using the NHANES 2017-18 dataset. Weighted multivariate regressions were utilized. NHANES is a standardized survey conducted biennially in the United States, for a sample population which is weighted to represent national demographics. 6161 participants met inclusion criteria. Measurements were collected via NHANES protocol, with objective measurements collected by trained technicians and self-reported measurements collected via questionnaire. Our results corroborate a roughly U-shaped relationship of sleep duration with BMI, varying with age. Greatest magnitudes were observed in a bimodal age ranges of 18-30 and 61-75, with decreases in BMI of 0.248 and 0.385 associated with each marginal hour of sleep. Our secondary analysis with daytime sleepiness and snoring have a significant association with BMI. Snoring symptoms showed a decreasing magnitude of association with BMI as age increases; for ages 18-30, snoring at least once a week correlated with an increase in BMI of 3.571, while for ages 61-75, this correlated with an increase of 1.619. Our study adds to existing literature on the relationship of sleep and BMI. Age stratification methods were used to further clarify associations. Subjective sleep symptoms were used in a secondary analysis to identify clinical screening questions for adverse effects of sleep on BMI.
