Published: October 2021

Research on organic soil stabilization utilizing materials such as cement, lime, rice husk ash, fly ash, bagasse ash to change soil shear behavior has been widely carried out to this date. However, not many researchers have studied the changes in water content in organic soils that have been stabilized with such materials, especially on the changes in soil physical properties. This study aims to find out the effect of changes in water content in physical properties including: volume weight (Î³), specific gravity (G), water content (w), void ratio (e), degree of acidity (pH) and content organic (O). A series of tests was conducted, namely the chemical composition of: organic soil test (TO), carbide waste (CCR), and bagasse ash (AAT), and testing for the physical properties of organic soil. Further, additional material (60% CCR and 40% AAT) was added to the soil in proportions: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% combined with different initial water contents (498, 548 and 598%) and curing time: 7, 14, 21 and 36 days. Then, we conducted test for physical properties of the soil that has been stabilized. The physical and chemical properties of the soil change subject to added material content and ripening time. At high water content, the change is more significant than at lower water content. The volume weight, specific gravity, and acidity of the soil increases while the void ratio and soil organic content decrease. The optimal content of added material is 20% with an optimal time of curing 21 days

Abundance of brown plant hopper (BPH) Nilaparvatalugens (Stål) (Delphacidae: Homoptera) is modulated by prevalent weather conditions of rice growing seasons and locations. Categorization of  BPH adults caught in light traps (nos/week/trap) into low, moderate and high and formulation of criteria accounting weather variables [maximum/ minimum/ mean temperature (ÚC), morning/evening/mean relative humidity (%), rainfall (mm) and sunshine hours (h/day) and wind speed (km/h)] during kharif of2011-16 for four locations viz., Ludhiana (Punjab), Chinsurah (West Bengal), Raipur (Chhattisgarh) and Aduthurai (Tamil Nadu) with associated rules for weather based BPH prediction. Validation of BPH predictions for kharif 2017 indicated 96, 87, 73 and 61% accuracies in respect of Aduthurai (TN), Raipur (CG), Ludhiana (PB) and Chinsurah (WB). Future weather based predictions of BPH based on climatic projections of representative concentration pathway (RCP) 4.5 for 2020, 2050 and 2080 indicated absence of high population at Chinsurah (WB) during all time periods of 2020-2080. Progressively reducing BPH abundance from past (2011) to all future periods was noticed at Aduthurai (TN). ‘High’ BPH from 2020 and beyond over 2011 and 2016 at Raipur (CG) and reducing ‘high’ but increasing ‘moderate’ category between 2020-2050 but the reverse in 2080 at Ludhiana (PB) were predicted indicating requirement of continued monitoring strategies put in place at these locations. The observed spatial variability of climate change influence on BPH implied a need for zonation mapping of rice insects including BPH for India.

Published: October 2021

Climate change which is one of the main determinants of agricultural production has started affecting the crop growth pattern and yield from past couple of decades in various agro-climatic zones globally. Under such scenario, the prior forecasting of yield of field crops such as wheat via modeling techniques can help in simplifying the crop production management system starting from farmer’s level to policy makers. The present study was thus undertaken to model the wheat yield of Ludhiana district of  Indian Punjab through regression analysis of historical data (1993-2017) of wheat yield and climatic conditions in the area. The developed model was successfully validated with a strong positive correlation (R2=0.81) between predicted and observed data. Both observed and predicted yields were having similar trend with a minimum and maximum absolute differential error of 0.1 and 13.9% respectively. The developed model may serve as a powerful tool for predicting the future yield of wheat crop with available futuristic climatic data of the study area.

Desarrollo de nuevos diseños vegetales: Mejora genética vs transformación genética y edición génica
Authors: Martínez Gómez Pedro
Published: October 2021

El objetivo de esta reflexión es realizar un estudio comparativo sobre la eficacia, eficiencia técnica y costo de las tecnologías más importantes para el desarrollo de nuevos diseños vegetales, incluyendo la mejora genética, la transformación genética y la edición génica. Si bien, la obtención de organismos modificados mediante transformación genética y edición génica es un proceso con una mayor eficacia y eficiencia y un menor costo, se debe hablar por otro lado, de un rechazo social de estos organismos modificados genéticamente a nivel medioambiental, de salud pública, económico y religioso en un contexto anti tecnológico de rechazo. Por otro lado, existe una ideología tecnológica de apoyo a estas investigaciones. Esta ideología habla de la necesidad de dejar a los científicos las manos libres para escrutar los secretos de la naturaleza. El binomio ciencia-opinión pública, está también más que presente en el debate de esta cuestión; además de la persuasión en ambos bandos a favor y en contra de los cultivos modificados. En este contexto, una mayor cultura técnica en la población y cultura tecnológica y de la innovación entre los agricultores, será lo que potencializará este tipo de cultivos. Finalmente, un análisis funcional de la biotecnología en general y la obtención de plantas modificadas en particular, puede mejorar su percepción social en línea con la mayor entrañabilidad de la tecnología, sería también de interés de cara a neutralizar el rechazo inicial de la tecnología.

Published: October 2021

Green Architecture is not only about the way of controlling the resources consumption within sustainable limits, but it also emphasizes the positive effect on the different human requirements including his physiological sides. People spend a lot of time indoors under artificial lighting that usually lacks the dynamism and biological effect of daylight. Dynamic lighting, as an application of circadian lighting, has been used and studied in several buildings' functions with different scenarios to achieve better human performance and wellbeing. This article shed a light on the importance and the way of including the circadian lighting effects within the globally-concerned Environmental Building Rating Systems (EBRSs); to advance more steps towards the Green Architecture goals when assessing buildings. Then, it proposed the use of qualitative metrics such as a linked Kano model questionnaire to the EBRSs besides their quantitative metrics; to ensure the proper lighting characteristics and the achievement of the users’ desired satisfaction and wellbeing by more accurate and creditable results. Then, case studies were used to prove the importance of using the proposed qualitative metric within the EBRSs.

The purpose of this paper is to construct a theoretical framework for designing healing environments by drawing from existing research. The approach of the paper surveys the literature on how elements of the design have been brought to bear on healing. This effort leads to a holistic approach that considers multiple dimensions of healing as both an individual and social process. The findings of the paper are harnesses that knowledge to provide a theoretical framework based on three design strategies: 1) supporting strategies that use specific elements to reinforce physical health, vital life energy, and psychological well-being; 2) balancing strategies that are oriented toward harmonizing those elements; and 3) nourishing strategies that address emotions, spiritual life, and the soul. Originality, in summary, this paper traces efforts to harmonize individual human health with the built environment across time and uses related knowledge to crystallize a new theoretical framework. It is hoped that this survey of the literature may add to holistic and systemic understandings of healing environments.
Past and Future Trends on the Effects of Occupant Behaviour on Building Energy Consumption
Authors: Torabi Mahsa , Mahdavinejad Mohammadjavad
Published: October 2021

In recent decades, the need for an accurate evaluation of energy use in buildings has become increasingly growing due to the rise in environmental awareness and political pressure around the world. The estimation of energy consumption is, therefore, a crucial criterion during building early-stage design. This paper investigates the recent trends and achievements in modelling occupant behaviour in energy simulation studies and aims to highlight achievements and research gaps in the domain. This study presents a state-of-the-art theoretical review of the research background through published papers in leading journals within this research domain. The main goals of this study lay in the two layers of determining recent research trends and crucial findings in the subject of occupants' behaviour and energy consumption, and more importantly, to identify research gaps for future studies. This research review highlights several areas for future research including studying behaviour in different countries considering various climate, cultures and comfort preferences affecting energy-driven behaviour and conducting similar studies in different building typologies and occupancies. Moreover, based on the reviewed article, it is clear that evaluating occupant behaviour as an independent variable on a larger scale energy analysis in urban studies needs to be addressed in future studies. The authors found a lack of comprehensive approaches to comfort and considering all forms of comfort while studying behaviour and consumption in recent studies. It is recommended that further investigation of behaviour and total energy consumption regarding occupant real comfort conditions be conducted.
Influence of Different Waste Materials on Resistance of Cement Mortars against Carbonation and Chloride Ingress
Authors: Chousidis Nikolaos , Batis George
Published: October 2021

This work is an extensive experimental study on the corrosion behavior of reinforced cementitious mortars containing industrial byproducts and waste materials. In particular, calcareous (C-class) fly ashes, iron mill scale and Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (E.M.D.) waste were used as additives in mortars production. The abovementioned materials were used without any prior treatment or management and replaced the cement in concrete mixing by 10% wt. of cement weight. For the experimental set-up, reinforced mortars were prepared and exposed to coastal area for 12 months, while some of them were remained in a salt spray cabin for 60 days. The corrosion monitoring was performed by electrochemical and mass loss measurements, while chloride content, porosity, carbonation and mineralogy of mortars were also estimated. The results indicate, that there is a development in durability and chloride penetration resistance of composites comparing with the conventional mortars at late ages. At the same time, it was also observed that their chemical composition and fineness, control the diffusion of CO2 into the pore system and lead to increased carbonation of composite mortars. The challenge of this work is the production of eco-friendly composites with high chloride and carbon dioxide penetration resistance.

Authors: Hamad Rami J.A. , Tayeh Bassam A. , Al Aisri Hamdan A.
Published: October 2021

Construction in Oman is an important sector that contributes greatly to the country’s economic growth. Recently, the construction projects in Oman have been delayed which has led to delays in the projects’ completion and sometimes to their failure. This study aims to examine the critical factors affecting the success of construction projects in Oman. The extent to which factors related to project parties affect this success was assessed. A quantitative approach based on systematic literature review and questionnaire survey technique was used. The factors were identified and classified into six main categories, namely, time; finance; project designing, planning and scheduling; quality; project progress and development; and environment and nature. The factors are also classified as client-, consultant-, contractor- and external-related factors. This study was conducted by distributing questionnaires to people who experienced working in the public and private construction sectors in Oman. Relative importance index method was used for analysis. Results show that quality is the most important amongst the six investigated categories, followed by time; finance; project progress and development; project designing, planning and scheduling; and environment and nature. The client-related factors have the highest impact on the success of construction projects in Oman, followed by consultant-, contractor- and external environment-related factors. The selection of a low bid, rather than accurate and reliable bids, and the quality and experience of the project team and labour are the most significant factors affecting the success of construction projects in Oman. The contractors’ administrative corruption, indiscipline and dishonesty and the frequent equipment breakdowns are the two least important factors affecting the success of construction projects. The government should encourage clients to improve their procurement strategies and force the construction companies to implement innovative approaches to project delivery.
Menschliche Individualität
Authors: Hoffmann Martin
Published: October 2021

It is part of our self-understanding as humans to ascribe individuality to. But what our particular individuality consists of cannot be generally determined, because the concept of individuality aims precisely at the uniqueness and unmistakability of each individual. A philosophical theory of human individuality must therefore essentially be a theory of human self-understanding. The book substantiates this thesis both in philosophical-historical and in philosophical-systematical perspective. The author takes up problem descriptions from the founding phase of human sciences in the 19th century and develops a proposal that identifies a specifically human type of epistemic access to oneself as an essential characteristic of human individuality. The epistemological foundation of philosophical anthropology presented in this study is thus simultaneously an innovative contribution to the hermeneutics of the human self.

Exploring Fictional Truth
Authors: Folde Christian
Published: October 2021

There are ghosts. At least, in "Hamlet" there are. This is an example of a fictional truth, of something true in a fiction. Or so it seems. For, once we broaden our view to all kinds and realms of fiction our ordinary notions are challenged, and intriguing philosophical questions arise. Are there really any fictional truths? How can they be determined? Is everything just interpretation? Can anything be fictional? Could you be part of a fiction? Et cetera. The philosophical literature on fiction typically focusses on the semantics of fictional discourse and the ontology of fictional objects. In contrast, this study explores the nature of fictional truth by analyzing its conceptual structure and by unfolding some of its most important conceptual connections. After reviewing the field and identifying core elements that any theory of fictional truth must accommodate Christian Folde investigates several interrelated issues central to the on-going debates. Building on a clear account of fictional content and a wealth of examples the author offers novel solutions to various problems at the intersection of fictional truth, interpretation, and narration. The book thereby makes contributions to aesthetics, metaphysics and literary theory, among other things, and is thus both of philosophical and interdisciplinary value.

What does it mean that something happens caused by me acting, in a causally constituted world? We understand ourselves as active agents, as cause of what we do. But we cannot help but assume that people and their actions are part of the natural order of causes and effects, and in this they are no different from the rest of nature. The causal sequences of events run, it seems, through persons, into them from without and out of them from within in the form of actions. But doesn´t this entail that the “I”, of which we believe that it determines what we do, evaporates? What then do authorship, freedom, responsibility mean? - In his essay, Peter Stemmer confronts these questions, which have a fundamental impact on our self-understanding.

In Germany, a new assessment system (the NBA) is being applied to assess the need for long-term care. The degree of care that is calculated defines the extent of welfare state benefits. Measuring and analysing the need for care in a statistically appropriate way is subject to certain preconditions. This book presents multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) in combination with cluster analysis (HCA) as an innovative methodological approach to dealing with this challenge. The first part provides a theoretical discussion of the need for care; the second part describes MCA and HCA in detail using an example. The book is aimed at all those involved in the measurement and analysis of the need for care.
Urban Mining of e-Waste and the Role of Consumers
Authors: Georgantzis Garcia Dimitris , Kevin van Langen Sven
Published: October 2021

This chapter adds to the body of literature on the Circular Economy (CE), urban mining, and their intersection with consumer behaviour, by first providing a review of existing and emergent EU regulations aimed towards enhancing the collection rate of household WEEE. The fast growth of the EEE waste stream and its potential for Urban Mining as well as the inability of WEEE collection to keep up with the growth of the EEE industry is showcased with statistical data. The final section critically analyses the literature the intersection between consumer behaviour and closed-loop supply chains for EEE, identified through a systematic keyword search to ensure replicability. The findings point at a lack of theoretical, methodological and product-case heterogeneity among the identified sources, with most of them employing the Theory of Planned Behaviour and survey methods and focusing on mobile phones or general WEEE. While the literature suggests important behavioural differences across EEE categories, this was not representatively explored. The final section contributes to filling this gap by developing a taxonomy of EEE categories based on characteristics that may predispose consumer behaviour. The identified dimensions are: size, involvement, long-term reliability expectations, value type, internet access, multifunctionality, the quality of being outdated and social meaning.
Metabolic Responses to Energy-Depleted Conditions

Dietary intervention is one of the most important approaches for the treatment of metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Fasting and caloric restriction have profound effects on systemic metabolism. The energy source-producing organs, such as the liver, and peripheral tissues rewire their metabolism to meet the energy demands of the whole body. Glycogenolysis, fatty acid oxidation, and ketone body production are characteristic metabolic changes that occur during fasting and caloric restriction. These metabolic changes are regulated by various signaling cascades including PPARα and FGF21. Moderate fasting and caloric restriction have also been implicated in extending the lifespan in a variety of organisms from nematodes to vertebrates. Intensive research has unveiled several regulatory mechanisms of longevity including metabolic regulators such as mTOR and sirtuins. The epigenome has been attracting attention as a mechanism underlying metabolic diseases and longevity. The epigenome is the concept that involves covalent modifications of DNA, histones, and RNA, which are mediated by the action of epigenetic enzymes. The activity of these enzymes is regulated by energy states, i.e. metabolites including ketone bodies and intermediates of various metabolic pathways. Thus, energy states are recorded in cells as an epigenetic memory, which may cause future onset of metabolic diseases and affect lifespan.
Hemodialysis AV Fistula: What a Radiologist Should Know?
Authors: A. Patel Vaidehi
Published: October 2021

Hemodialysis works as a lifeline for end stage renal disease patients. Creation and maintenance of vascular access for dialysis is the mammoth task. Due to increased references related to vascular access; number of complications are faced in pre as well as post operative period of vascular access creation. Ultrasound and color Doppler study play a major role in imaging throughout this period. Pre operative vascular mapping is very crucial to help surgeon to determine the proper site and surgical technique for vascular access creation. Early and delayed post operative complications can also be diagnosed with ultrasound and color Doppler study. Here we have tried to cover all the important points which a radiologist should consider during pre operative vascular mapping and post operative evaluation of vascular access as well as any associated complications.

The purpose of our study is to verify the usefulness of gamma irradiation treatment at low doses (0.25, 0.5 and 1 kGy) combined to vacuum packaging on commercial teas of Thymus satureioides deliberately contaminated with Escherichia coli. The efficiency and the influence of the process on contamination level and the shelf life of the product were studied. The phenolic composition and concentration were identified in the unirradiated and irradiated thyme. The total phenolic content (TPC) was assayed by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, the individual phenolic compounds were determined by high liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the essential oil was characterized by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The plant was observed by scanning electrons microscopy and the radioactivity effect was analyzed. The results show a complete decontamination of thyme depending to the dose and the storage time. Privileged hygienic quality was found in the irradiated thyme with the highest concentrations of polyphenols. The process showed the conservation of thyme quality without any alteration of its characteristics or radioactivity effect.

Swelling Elastomers and Tubular Expansion—Numerical Investigation
Authors: Zahid Qamar Sayyad , Akhtar Maaz , Pervez Tasneem
Published: October 2021

Swell packers were initially used for repair of old and damaged wells, but they are now increasingly used for higher productivity and profitability through developments like slim well design and reduced-cement or cementless completions. Solid expandable tubular (SET) technology has gained popularity in the petroleum development industry as it can reduce well costs and improve well performance. A conical mandrel is pushed or pulled through a petroleum tubular, either hydraulically or mechanically, to expand it (in-situ) to the desired diameter. In SET applications such as water shutoff and zonal isolation, swelling elastomers are an obvious choice as a sealing material. For proper downhole deployment of swell packers in SET applications, it is important to have a good idea about their behavior under a given set of field conditions. Design and manufacturing of SET applications using swelling elastomers as sealing elements also needs some sort of seal performance analysis.
