Authors: Mishra Rakesh , Mishra Ankita , Kotturshetti I.B.
Published: March 2022

Grahani roga is the most common infection of gastro-digestive system and seen regularly in everyday practice. In our works of art Grahani is depicted as an Agni adhishthana. Any unsettling influence in the situation with agni prompts Grahani roga. Grahani roga is one among the Ashtamahagadas. Ayurveda depicted the distinction of Mana and Shareera and their indistinguishable and associated connection in the body. In Ayurveda separate Nidana panchakas are not clarified for Grahani roga, as Samanyanidana is material and mental variable of Grahani roga in general. Grahani roga is a prevalent Pitta Vatadosha and the mental element can be effectively be upset by Vata and Pitta Dosha. Both Ayurveda and contemporary science acknowledge the way that for better administration and avoidance of Grahani roga (IBS,) mental variables are playing a huge part. So to eliminate an infection from its root, the causative elements ought to likewise be perceived and precluded totally. With the thought of expanding rate gastro-digestive illness across the globe and world is looking forward towards Ayurveda for safe treatment modalities, it is fundamental for discover the viable helpful strategies from our science. In this article a work is made to comprehend the job of mental component in Grahani roga.
Introspection into the Guna Wisdom of Ayurveda–A Review From the Clinical Perspective
Authors: Mangampadath Abhilash
Published: March 2022

The clinical scenario in Ayurveda is currently positioned at a juncture where there is immense demand for standardization and development. Researchers are running after the methods to tackle the issues of individual variations and lack of reproducibility when it comes to the systematic practice of Ayurveda. Under these circumstances, the guna spectrum in Ayurveda, often neglected as a philosophical area that do not have direct clinical applications needs to be revived so that the quintessence of Ayurvedic clinical decision making is translated into the research arena. For this purpose, a thorough analysis of the concepts and their in-depth meaning has to be considered. Also, critical introspection into the current status and its background realities with focus on the systematic narration of Ayurveda is needed like the classification of gunas based upon their clinical importance and therapeutic potentials. This article tries to incorporate this aspect into the science of Ayurveda in light of the clinical and philosophical understanding making it more comprehensive and clinical friendly.
Duas vias que confluem: apontamentos sobre a teoria marxiana da revolução
Authors: Piva Anderson Vinicius Dell Piagge
Published: March 2022

Neste artigo exploramos a hipótese de que a teoria da revolução de Karl Marx não está fundamentada unicamente na luta de classes. Nos seus escritos econômicos da maturidade, e mais particularmente nos Grundrisse, é possível identificar um prognóstico do processo de desintegração do capital e da formação do valor que acabaria por tornar anacrônicas e obsoletas as relações sociais vigentes no mundo contemporâneo. Tal processo não estaria, necessariamente, vinculado à ação política das classes sociais, mas seria intrínseco à lógica de desenvolvimento das forças produtivas sob o capital. Assim, no limite, poder-se-ia falar em duas teorias da revolução que se complementam em Marx. Assim, procuramos, aqui, confrontar a teoria da revolução presente em O Capital com aquela sugerida pelos Grundrisse, no seu famoso “fragmento sobre as máquinas”.
Gestão integrada e adaptativa da água: a governança da Bacia do Alto Tietê em face da escassez hídrica
Authors: Pollachi Amauri
Published: March 2022

As incertezas associadas à mudança climática, de certa forma, induzem que a governança das águas estruturada conforme a Gestão Integrada de Recursos Hídricos (GIRH) associe-se à Gestão Adaptativa (GA), promovendo maior participação social, flexibilidade e adaptabilidade. Entidades regionais de gestão das águas, os Comitês de Bacia têm papel fundamental nesse processo, pois reúnem parcela representativa dos atores governamentais, de usuários e da sociedade civil, interessados por ou relacionados com governança das águas. A escassez hídrica de 2013-2015 afetou severamente o território da Macrometrópole Paulista, no qual se situa a Bacia Hidrográfica do Alto Tietê, colocando à prova a governança implantada no estado de São Paulo. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar, em face desse evento crítico, a atuação do Comitê da Bacia do Alto Tietê quanto à participação, à integração e ao conhecimento, bem como apontar possíveis aspectos de evolução para uma gestão integrada e adaptativa de recursos hídricos.
Pluralizando a governança pela perspectiva do nexo água-energia-alimentos: caminhos para a sustentabilidade na Macrometrópole Paulista
Authors: Urbinatti Alberto Matenhauer , Giatti Leandro Luiz
Published: March 2022

A governança da água, da energia e dos alimentos no contexto da Macrometrópole paulista, a partir do conceito de “nexo”, pode ser reconhecida como interdependente e muito desafiadora por conta dos inúmeros trade-offs e sinergias entre os recursos. Todavia, é possível dizer que esses recursos foram historicamente governados de forma separada, pois há uma tendência clara de especialização do conhecimento nas decisões. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir de forma crítica possíveis nexos entre a governança da água, energia e alimentos no contexto da Macrometrópole paulista. A metodologia se divide em dois momentos: primeiro uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa, na qual apresentamos as principais ideias presentes no conceito de governança do nexo e sugerimos repensá-lo a partir de um olhar mais plural sobre a governança dado pela abordagem de caminhos para a sustentabilidade (pathways to Sustainability); segundo, uma análise de conteúdo da Carteira de Projetos do Plano de Ação para a Macrometrópole Paulista 2013-2040 (PAM) a partir de cinco eixos: entidades políticas e espaços, estruturação e prática poder e conhecimento, lidar com a incerteza e história política, cultura e contexto. Os resultados indicam que o PAM traz perspectivas amigáveis ao nexo marcadas por aspectos estratégicos e técnicos, não considerando de maneira mais aprofundada experiências humanas de atores mais vulneráveis em relação ao acesso aos recursos no contexto macrometropolitano.
Crisis line strategy of public health for suicide prevention: problems and solutions
Authors: Semenova Nadezhda B.
Published: March 2022

Background. It has been about 40 years since Russian public healthcare used the telephone crisis line for suicide prevention. The crisis line is a crucial support resource for people in emotional crises and decreases suicidal rates - however, few problems need to be solved to optimize crisis line service. The purpose is to reveal limitations and find possible ways of improvement emergent help for people with suicidal behaviour example, the crisis line of Krasnoyarsk Area Psychoneurologic Dispensary № 1. Material and methods. Crisis line service telephone calls over nine years (2011-2019) were analyzed. Total number of calls, number of calls with emotional crisis and suicidal behaviour, calls structure and their multiplicity. IBM SPSS Statistics, Version 22 was used for statistical analysis of data. Results. Total number of calls over nine years (2011-2019) was 21.496, of the 1.327 calls from the crisis patients (3.8-9.0% of all calls) and 574 calls from the patients with suicide behaviour (1.8-3.6% of all calls). Most calls were regarding psychological problems (36.5%), receive information (27.5%) and calls regarding psychiatric or somatic health (27.5%). Conclusion. Low proportion of crisis and suicidal calls reflects insufficient population coverage with targeted assistance. In order to improve the abilities of the crisis counselling line, we suggest patronage of patients with suicidal attempts after discharge to prevent its recurrence. A risk management strategy using a crisis line will improve the efficacy of suicide prevention measures.

Authors: Koshelev Konstantin A. , Belousov Nikolay N. , Strelnikov Valeriy N. , Shcherbakov Anatoliy S.
Published: March 2022

The lack of personalized dispensary registration after prosthetics of dentition is the cause of many complications and a decrease in the quality of life of patients. Purpose: To develop and justify the timing of dispensary follow-up among patients with partial and complete loss of teeth, prosthetics with removable and bridge dentures. Material and methods. A three-year prospective study was conducted of 364 patients with missing teeth who received appropriate treatment. According to the existing scheme, the control group included 199 patients who underwent dispensary follow-up after prosthetics. The study group included 165 patients observed according to the newly proposed terms. Face-to-face and telephone interviews using the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire were used as research methods, complications of the treatment were taken into account and analyzed. Results: Based on the conducted studies, such factors as the presence of vital teeth as prosthesis supports, the presence of periodontitis in the anamnesis, the presence of supporting teeth restored with fillings, many somatic diseases in the anamnesis, the factor of repeated/primary prosthetics were statistically significant for the correction of the terms of dispensary observation. Each of the factors is assigned a certain number of points. Considering the above reasons, we have identified three dispensary groups for patients after dental, orthopaedic treatment of partial and complete loss of teeth. When comparing the study group and the control group, it was found that in the near and distant periods, there was an increase in the quality of life of patients on the scales of “mental health”, “role functioning due to physical condition”, “social functioning” and “vital activity” in the study group. Conclusion: The introduction into practice of orthopaedic dentists of the proposed terms of dispensary observation of patients after prosthetics of dentition will improve patients’ quality of life according to the indicator “mental health” and reduce the risk of conflict situations.
Authenticating Passwords by Typing Pattern Biometrics
Authors: Nakasi Rose , Yonasi Safari , Ngubiri John
Published: March 2022

Passwords are a common measure used in Authentication systems to make sure that the users are who they say they are. The complexity of these Passwords is relied on while ensuring security. However, the role of complexity is limited. Users are forced to write down complex passwords since easy ones are easily guessed. This study aimed at evaluating the uniqueness of typing patterns of password holders so as to strengthen the authentication process beyond matching the string of characters. Using our own dataset, this research experimentally showed that k Nearest Neighbor algorithm using Euclidean distance as the metric, produces sufﬁcient results to distinguish samples and detect whether they are from the same authentic user or from an impostor based on a threshold that was computed. Results obtained indicated that typing patterns are distinct even on simple guessable passwords and that typing pattern biometrics strengthens the authentication process. This research extends work in typing pattern analysis using k Nearest Neighbor machine learning approach to auto detect the password pattern of the authentic and non-authentic users. It also provides an investigation and assessment to the effect of using different k values of the KNN algorithm. Further to this field is the methodology for calculating an optimal threshold value with higher accuracy levels that acted as a basis for rejection or acceptance of a typing sample. Additionally is an introduction of a new feature metric of a combined dataset which is a concatenation of both the dwell and latency timings. A comparison of performance for independent and a combined dataset of the feature metrics was also evaluated.
Optimization of Hybrid Optical Amplifiers (Raman-EDFA) with a Standard Fiber (SMF) and a maximum pump power of 200mw in access networks: WDM-PON
Authors: Armel Bimogo , Dikoundou Essiben , Same Koko
Published: March 2022

In this paper , we demonstrate the possibility of Raman -EDFA association in access networks. for this purpose, we evaluate the respective performances of these two types through a numerical method for 16 channels. Interesting results can be exploited; it is shown that with EDFAs, a target gain of 20dB can be reached for a wavelength range of 980 to 1440nm but with several perturbations in the received signal due to SNR and OSNR. These problems are solved with the integration of Raman amplification which pushes the gain limit to 27dB, with a better flatness.

Authors: Kuate Alain François , Tchueguem Paulin Nembot , Essiben Jean-François D.
Published: March 2022

Purpose: This paper presents the design and analysis of rectangular patch antenna that can be reconfigured in frequency for the three non-overlapping channels of the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.

Methodology: To achieve this, a patch model in which four Pin diodes are introduced into the radiating structure, two operating in switching (ON / OFF) and two others kept blocked throughout operation has been proposed. By using as radiating element a copper hob placed on a substrate of the FR4_Epoxy type. The so-called CST Microwave Studio simulation software was used to simulate the design antenna.

Findings: It was shown that this rectangular patch antenna resonates at the center frequencies of channels 1 (2.412GHz); 6 (2.437 GHz) and 11 (2.462 GH) with an almost uniform radiation pattern for different diode configurations.

Recommendations: To improve the performance of this reconfigurable frequency patch antenna, future research must be based on optimizing the radiation parameters for configurations where one of the diodes is ON and the other is blocked.

Durante décadas, la violencia ha afectado el desarrollo económico, político y social de Colombia. En este trabajo evaluamos los efectos de los delitos violentos contra las personas y la propiedad privada sobre el comportamiento de la inversión neta de la industria manufacturera en los departamentos de Colombia durante el período 2000-2013. Este trabajo se basa en los modelos propuestos por Acevedo y Mora (2009) y Acevedo y García (2015) y emplea información estadística de la Encuesta Anual de Manufactura y diversas formas de violencia (secuestros, robos y homicidios) obtenidas de la base de datos de la Revista Criminalidad para los 32 departamentos y Bogotá, D. C. Para ello se emplea un modelo de datos panel y se usa la bondad del ajuste como criterio para seleccionar los modelos que mejor se ajustan a los datos. La evidencia empírica muestra que la violencia medida por el número de secuestros, más que los homicidios y robos, es el fenómeno que más ha afectado la inversión en Colombia. Específicamente, un aumento del 1% en el número de secuestros reduce la inversión neta en un 0,04%. Estos resultados mostraron que Bolívar, Caquetá, Cesar, Meta y Tolima fueron los departamentos más afectados por la violencia en Colombia durante el período.

Published: March 2022

This study investigates the socio-cultural integration of resettler and host communities in Kuti resettlement site in Gimbo woreda one of the resettlement sites selected for the 1985/86 resettlement program. The study was conducted with 20 participants selected from the resettled and host communities. The premise for the selection of the mentioned study site is the absence of prior research in the site and to add some additional knowledge on few researches done in socio-cultural integration aspect of resettlers in general. The research follows the procedures of an exploratory case study design in examining the experiences of socio-cultural integration between the host and resettler communities. Unstructured interview guide and two FGD sessions were used as the data collection instruments. Content analysis technique was applied in this study. This technique used to analyze their socio-cultural experiences and the perceptions towards each other. Three key findings are emerged from this study. The first is that both the resettler and host communities generally have positive regard towards each other. The second finding showed that different strategies of socio-cultural integration are used by the communities such as: intermarriage, sharecropping and adoption of cultural practices. The third major finding showed that the two greatest challenges to integration are lack of equal political participation and stereotyping by both communities. In conclusion, the study findings showed that there are aspects of socio-cultural integration which were manifested socially and culturally. The social manifestations included: intermarriage, God parenting, friendship, sharecropping, borrowing and lending. The cultural manifestation pertained to the adoption of different cultural practices by both communities. The challenges of integration were also perceived by the participants as resolvable in the long run and not severe to threaten future prospects for further integration.

The research used in this dissertation process uses a type of legal research, the way it works is researching library or secondary materials that have been collected. The civil justice system contains norms and principles that provide space for the practice of customary justice which has a combination of characteristics as informal justice, communal justice, alternative dispute resolution and simplified court regardless of the inconsistency of laws and regulations regarding the existence of customary justice in the power system positive Indonesian judiciary. The state and positive judicial system ideally recognize and give position to customary courts in customary law. It is not directly proportional to the lack of state power over the administration of justice and the facilitation of narrow cultural identities. Second, a positive judicial system provides recognition and position of customary justice in the national justice system, with an effort to make law (both state law and customary law) a representation of universal values, not a representation of the values of narrow interest groups.
The Lord Jesus' Example in Order According to the Gospel of John 4:1-42 And Its Relevance in Church Ministry Today
Authors: Witoro Johanes
Published: March 2022

Many churches today are impacted by modernism, and as a result, they have forgotten fundamental biblical concepts such as how the Lord Jesus set an example in preaching the truth to people, and how the Church should follow in his footsteps. This is a qualitative research approach that includes a literature review and hermeneutic studies from the Bible to obtain biblical results. The findings show that modernized churches must revert to the real teachings, especially the model or example of the Lord Jesus. With an understanding of the existing cultural environment, believers have responsibilities in preaching the truth to others.
Level of education and marital distress in Ghanaian married couples
Authors: Anim Michael T.
Published: March 2022

This study set out to examine how much distress men and women experience in their marital relationships, and whether or not education level is associated with marital distress. This was done by using the Marital Happiness Scale, and a questionnaire that measured demographic characteristics, as measuring instruments. Four research questions were formulated and four hypotheses were tested. They covered the differences that exist in the marital distress experiences among husbands and wives, and differences in education and their impact on marital distress. A total of eighty (80) married men and women comprising 40 husbands and 40 wives were conveniently and purposively selected to take part in the study. Descriptive statistics and t- Tests were used to analyse the data to bring out differences and to determine associations among variables. The findings showed that many persons who said they experienced distress in their marital relationships also tested distressed on a scale of marital distress; that among this population, wives tested more distressed than husbands in marriages. There were no significant differences between husbands and wives of low education and those of high education in their distress. Those with high education were not less distressed than those with low education. Marital distress is not a respecter of level of education. Suggestions were made for future research to consider other factors that account for distress in Ghanaian marriages other than education status.
The social stigma attached to obesity: risk factors and coping strategies
Authors: Hagan John Elvis
Published: March 2022

The medical effects of obesity are well-documented and well-publicized. But, just as obesity may be associated with a variety of health issues, it can also bring a less well-understood effect: stigma and discrimination. The social consequences of being overweight and obese are serious, pervasive and throughout our culture, and is evident at different levels across lines of gender, race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Overweight and obese individuals are often targets of bias and stigma, and are vulnerable to negative attitudes in multiple domains of living including places of employment, educational institutions, medical facilities, the mass media, and interpersonal relationships. Along with implications to physical health, obesity often carries a stigma that negatively impacts the social, emotional, and psychological functioning of those who are overweight or perceive themselves as overweight. This paper seeks to review on causal attribution of obesity and its social consequences. Interpersonal sources, multiple domains and coping strategies are also captured. In light of the immense burden of obesity on health care systems and also on the individuals' quality of life, it is recommended that stigma-reduction interventions should focus on educating students at all levels of educational system and the general public about size acceptance and further challenge negative attitudes. Also, prevention programs with information campaigns might have a high potential in increasing awareness about stigmatization.

Published: March 2022

Cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs causes knee instability. It is one of the main causes of pelvic limb lameness in this species. There are several techniques for surgical treatment, and TPLO – tibial plateau leveling osteotomy aims to change the biomechanics of the knees in an attempt to better distribute the forces and generate dynamic stability in the joint. Still, little epidemiological data about dogs submitted to TPLO has been published. This retrospective study investigated nosological and epidemiological characteristics of 76 dogs submitted to this technique performed by a private orthopedic service in two cities in the state of Rio de Janeiro over fourteen months. The mean time between diagnosis and surgery was 23 days (median nine days). The mean age of the dogs was 73±43 months, and there were no differences between males and females. Approximately 10,5% of dogs had contralateral ligament rupture. Most animals were spayed or neutered (66,66% vs. 33,33%, p=0,02). There were no transpiratory complications in 89,6% of patients, and 79,2% had no postoperative complications. Exploratory arthrotomy was the most performed associated surgery technique (61% of patients). It is believed that studies like this allow a better understanding of this rupture and its treatment options, providing a better quality of life for affected dogs.
Pasta, un arte con mucha ciencia
Authors: Ainsa Andrea , Marquina Pedro , Beltrán José Antonio , Calanche Juan
Published: March 2022

La pasta es uno de los platos más populares del mundo hecho con trigo duro como lo muestra su historia y regulación. Su consumo se generalizó en el siglo XV, pero fue en el siglo XVI cuando se hizo una comida frecuente entre la gente de pocos recursos debido a su versatilidad y economía. Esto ha quedado registrado en libros, pinturas y carteles publicitarios de distintas épocas. La pasta como alimento es tan emblemática que se le dedicó en 1993 la fundación de un museo con sede en Roma, Italia. Su historia revela fusión y eclecticismo que ha promovido una progresión interesante desde el punto de vista de la creación culinaria, pero tambien desde una perspectiva tecnológica y gastronómica, al incrementar la composición y oferta existente. Desde el siglo XV hasta la actualidad la pasta ha pasado de ser un sustento básico a un alimento más complejos y selecto, pero aun así y gracias a su excelente aceptación sensorial nunca ha perdido su carácter popular, ni su asequibilidad. Por eso, frente a tan noble y reconocido alimento no queda sino tratar de enriquecerlo y continuar su legado incorporando otros ingredientes como pescado o algas, para seguir promoviendo su enriquecedora transculturación.
Comunicación culinaria en República Dominicana: tecnología, chefs, food stylists y foodies

Published: March 2022

Mucho ha cambiado desde que la transmisión y supervivencia del acervo culinario de los pueblos se limitaba al formato oral. Las distintas evoluciones tecnológicas han transformado no solo el qué comemos, sino también el cómo lo disfrutamos. Influenciando incluso los rituales de socialización de los alimentos. La gastronomía en República Dominicana ha evolucionado y esto se ha ido reflejando en el uso progresivo de innovadores formatos y plataformas de comunicación. Desde los “reality shows” en los que amateurs muestran su proeza en la cocina mientras se disputan ante las cámaras por la victoria, hasta quienes retocan el más mínimo detalle de los alimentos, como si se tratara de supermodelos. Aquellos que han elegido el camino de las artes culinarias como profesión cuentan con nuevos aliados. Tecnologías y perfiles antes inexistentes que narran la historia de recetas, la experiencia de su consumo y hasta la proveniencia de sus ingredientes. Entre ellos encontramos categorías como food stylists, que resaltan la esencia de los platos, y foodies que se dan a la labor de salir de aventuras en búsqueda de magníficas creaciones. El presente documento evalúa algunos de los sujetos que se van abriendo camino en estas áreas. A través de un análisis de la literatura existente se pretende iniciar la identificación de perfiles digitales, abanderados y embajadores de la gastronomía que, más allá de los fogones, se encuentran detrás de los dispositivos y que con su labor engrandecen la calidad culinaria de la República Dominicana.

La reflexión toma en consideración algunas aportaciones de la antropología, las acciones investigativas que fundamentan la propuesta expositiva así como su  estructura y contenido, que se expone brevemente. El análisis nos permite poner de manifiesto el interes de tomar en consideración los presupeuestos de la antropología cultural aplicada al conocimiento de las culturras alimentarias así como la necesidad de abordar la complejidad de los fenómenos alimentarios, incluyendo la dimensión temporal, la memoria oral y las situaciones actuales.  Se analiza también el interés de las propuestas expositivas temporales como instrumento que permite superar algunas de las contradicciones que caracterizan a los procesos patrimonializadores de la cultura alimentaria.Estructurada en once paneles la exposición presenta la cultura alimentaria asociada a la actividad pesquera artesanal desde el punto de vista de aquellos que le han dedicado su vida. Dicha información fue recogida mediante entrevistas en profundidad con pescadores y sus mujeres, las pescaderas, con un panel de expertos formado por diferentes cocineros célebres en la isla y con análisis de fuentes secundarias. Así, la tradición del mar y la pesca y sus evoluciones se presentan en temas que varían desde la vida a bordo y el trabajo en el mar, hasta las recetas de pescado del ámbito domèstico, la preparación y conservación del mismo y la importancia de la restauración y de los recetarios como instrumentos de recreación y transmisión de saberes.

O objetivo do trabalho foi desenvolver ações de prevenção e combate a HAS entre os usuários da ESF rural do município de Ponta Porã/MS. Trata-se de um trabalho realizado no formato de Projeto de Intervenção (PI), com foco na realização de ações de educação em saúde. Estas ações precisaram sofrer adaptações em virtude das medidas de isolamento impostas frente a pandemia causada pelo Covid-19 e passaram da modalidade presencial para a virtual. Como resultados da proposta identificou-se que 80% dos participantes afirmaram estar consumindo menos sódio na dieta e 60% realizando atividade física regular. Houve ainda aumento das consultas médicas com o médico da família em 52%. Como considerações finais pode-se afirmar que houve diminuição dos casos de busca por atendimento de crises hipertensivas demonstrando que o acompanhamento médico contínuo e ações de políticas de saúde num contexto multidisciplinar pode ser decisivo para garantir melhor qualidade de vida aos usuários.
MANAJEMEN KOMUNIKASI KELOMPOK INFORMASI MASYARAKAT KARANGPATIHAN DALAM MEMPERBAIKI CITRA DESA SEBAGAI KAMPUNG IDIOT
Authors: Tri Agustian Taufik
Published: March 2022

Desa Karangpatihan adalah salah satu desa yang dikenal sebagai kampung idiot di Ponorogo, karena sebagian masyarakatnya mengalami Tunagrahita. Padahal masyarakat yang mengalami tunagrahita sebesar 1,64% dari jumlah penduduk. Desa Karangpatihan melakukan program untuk memperbaiki citra desa melalui organisasi Kelompok Informasi Masyarakat (KIM). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana Manajemen Komunikasi KIM Desa Karangpatihan dalam memperbaiki citra Desa sebagai kampung idiot. Teori yang digunakan adalah empat tahap proses manajemen komunikasi menurut Scott M. Cutlip & Alen H. Center. Metode penelitian yang digunakan deskriptif kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa KIM Karangpatihan Bangkit dalam memperbaiki citra desa sebagai kampung Idiot telah termanajemen. Temuan penelitian ini adalah 1. Batasan batasan masalah: memantau pemberitaan melalui media televisi, menemukan stigma negatif terkait Desa Karangpatihan. 2. Planning and programing: merencanakan program merubah kampung idiot menjadi kampung industri, mensurvei bahwa media sosial adalah media paling diminati. 3. Pengambilan tindakan dan mengkomunikasikan dilakukan dengan pemberdayaan masyarakat keterbelakangan mental, pemilihan bahasa Indonesia dalam penyampaian pesan, mensosialisasikan kegiatan desa Karangpatihan menggunakan facebook, instagram, memberitakan kegiatan melalui website, menjalin relasi dengan karangtaruna setiap dukuh. 4. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan menerima penghargaan dari presiden. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa KIM telah melakukan kegiatan yang sejalan dengan teori manajamen komunikasi, namun belum sepenuhnya termanajemen. KIM Karangpatihan melakukan penyebaran informasi terkait desa melalui media sosial sedangkan KIM Karangpatihan mengetahui desa Karangpatihan sebagai kampung idiot melalui media televisi dan evaluasi hanya sebatas menerima penghargaan tetapi belum mengukur ketercapaian program.
Three Decades of Metrology Education in Mexico
Authors:   ETALONS, Benitez Roberto
Published: March 2022

In 1987 with the NAFTA and the popularization of ISO-9000 standards, the Metrology in México was considered as a critical part for trade, commerce and quality assurance programs. Those were the days when two of the references for metrology systems were the MIL-STD 45662A and the Guide 25. At the beginning of the 80's, the Mexican government established the National Calibration System and started the Mexican NMI as a project. Also the metrological society established the Mexican Association of Metrology (AMMAC). During the 80's decade, the government, the society and the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), organized training workshops annually and some Metrology International Symposiums. Most of the first accredited Metrology Laboratories in Mexico belonged to great industrial companies, institutes and original equipment manufacturers. With ten years of experience some private Metrology Laboratories started to provide calibration services for industry, being accredited by the National Calibration System. In 1992 the Mexican Government issued the Federal Law of Metrology and Standardization, considering in this law the establishment of the NMI CENAM and the formation of the Accreditation Bodies. Also at that time, some private companies, research institutes, universities and calibration laboratories, started to provide training in Metrology. In 2012 the Santa Rosa Jauregui University started the Engineering in Industrial Metrology as a carrier and in the same year the ITM (private institute) started to form Calibration Technicians. In 2014 the Polytechnic University of Ramos Arizpe also started the Engineering in Industrial Metrology.
Best Practices for Properly Using Thermometric Fixed-Point Cells as Calibration Reference Standards
Authors:   Fluke Calibration, Coleman Michael
Published: March 2022

This paper discusses thermometric fixed-point cells and considerations for their use as International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) defining standards for the calibration of Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRTs). Designation as an ITS-90 defining standard is dependent on the chemical composition (e.g., purity) of the sample material, which in turn predicts the melting, freezing, or triple-point realization temperature of the material. However, sole knowledge of the chemical composition and purity of the sample used to construct a fixed-point cell does not guarantee a particular realization temperature. To establish traceability to the International System of Units (SI), the fixed-point cell must be compared to other fixed-point cells that are traceable to the SI - through National Metrology Institutes (NMI's) with internationally-accepted measurement capabilities. ISO/IEC 17025 outlines a method for establishing reference standard traceability, and accreditation bodies have required qualification of thermometric fixed-point cells for over a decade. However, the authors have observed that most fixed-point cells are not qualified, and many users do not realize the implications of using them without first establishing traceability. To better clarify these implications, this paper presents the main sources of fixed-point cell realization temperature errors and uncertainties, along with suggestions for handling these issues. References to current quality standards and industry best practices will also be presented, to underscore the current requirements for proper use of ITS-90 defining thermometric fixed-point cells.
A Review of In-situ Temperature Measurements for Additive Manufacturing Technologies
Authors:   Sandia National Laboratories, Murphy Ryan
Published: March 2022

Additive manufacturing (AM) encompasses a rapidly advancing host of technologies used for building parts with complex geometrical shapes layer-by-layer from a wide range of materials such as polymers, glasses, ceramics, metals, and metal-alloys. A wide variety of AM processes are used to build parts on test beds using processes such as material extrusion and laser or e-beam irradiation of powders and liquids, depending on the industrial or commercial application. Unfortunately the dimensional and compositional quality of AM built parts highly depends on the technology, and can even significantly vary between different AM machines of the same technology, due to a lack of process feedback and control. Improvements have been made by performing computational modeling and ex-situ characterization such as x-ray diffraction, focused ion beam cross-sectioning, x-ray computed tomography, and electron microscopy. These techniques, however, are time consuming, expensive, and do not allow in-situ monitoring of parts as they are built. In-situ temperature measurements are promising as they monitor the build temperature and can provide feedback for better process control. Thermal imaging is widely-used for in-situ temperature measurements, but is limited to qualitative data due to the unpredictability of emissivity as temperature and composition dynamically change. Two-color pyrometry and mm-wave radiometry measurements promise to circumvent these problems but have their own dimensional limitations. These methods and others will be compared and contrasted, and future improvements of in-situ temperature measurements will also be discussed.
