Özne ve Söylem Bağlamında Aşı Karşıtı Protestoların Toplumsal Hareketler Sosyolojisi Kapsamında İncelenmesi
Authors: Doğanyılmaz Duman Didem , Ünür Ece
Published: March 2022

Mart 2020’de Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından pandemi olarak ilan edilen COVID-19, 2021 yılı itibariyle sonuçlanmaya başlayan aşı çalışmaları kapsamında nispeten daha kontrollü bir sürece evirilmiş olsa da aşı karşıtlığı, salgının kontrolüne ciddi bir engel oluşturmaktadır. Tarihsel süreç içerisinde aşılama çalışmalarıyla beraber ortaya çıkan aşı karşıtlığının temel nedeni, aşının hastalığın kendisinden çok daha fazla zarara sebep olabileceği inancıdır. 19. yüzyıldan bu yana var olan aşı karşıtlığı, devam eden pandemi sürecinde geniş kitlelerce benimsenerek, pandemi ile mücadeleyi ciddi anlamda olumsuz etkilemiştir. Pandemi sürecinde aşı karşıtlığının bireysel bir eğilim olmaktan öte toplumsal bir harekete dönüşmüş olması ise bu çalışmanın temel sorunsalını oluşturmaktadır. Yeni toplumsal hareketler sosyolojisi kapsamında öznesi, söylemi ve odak noktası değişen toplumsal hareketlerde kimi zaman yerel konulara kimi zaman ise küresel toplumu ilgilendiren konulara odaklanılmış ve güncel dönem itibariyle toplumsal hareketlerin odağı küresel anlamda ciddi bir insani güvenlik sorunu olarak varlığını sürdüren COVID-19 pandemisi olmuştur. Bu çalışma ile COVID-19 pandemisi için alınan önlemlerin önemli bir kısmını oluşturan aşılama ve takip sürecine karşı ortaya çıkan aşı karşıtlığına bağlı olarak Avrupa özelinde gerçekleştirilen ikinci dalga protestolar incelenmiştir. Maksimum çeşitlilik örneklemesi kapsamında dört ülke üzerinden oluşturulan örneklem çerçevesine, evren üzerinde yapılan ön inceleme sonucunda farklı özellikleri ile ön plana çıkan Fransa, İtalya, Yunanistan ve Birleşik Krallık dâhil edilerek çalışma tamamlanmıştır. Böylelikle ilgili örneklem, tümevarım ile bir genelleme yapılmasındansa evrene dair farklılıkları göz önüne serme imkânı sunmuştur. Dört ülkede gerçekleştirilen aşı karşıtı toplumsal hareketler kapsamında özne ve söylem çözümlemesi yapılarak, eylemlerin geçmişten bugüne yaşadığı değişimin yeni toplumsal hareketler sosyolojisinde yaşanılan değişimle paralellik gösterip göstermediği incelenmiştir.
Microstructure-dependent photoelectrocatalytic activity of heterogeneous ZnO–ZnS nanosheets
Authors: Liang Yuan-Chang , Huang Chia-Hung
Published: March 2022

ZnS crystallite-loaded ZnO sheet composites were successfully synthesized through vulcanization of hydrothermally derived porous ZnO sheet templates. The sulfur precursor (Na2S: 0.05–0.25 M) concentration affects the ZnS loading content and surface morphology of the ZnO–ZnS composites. A higher sulfur precursor concentration increased the ZnS loading content and decreased the porosity of the ZnO–ZnS composites. The ZnO–ZnS sheet composites with the atomic composition ratio of ZnO larger than that of the decorated ZnS exhibited an enhanced photoactivity. By contrast, the overloading of ZnS crystallites on the ZnO template decreased photoactivity. The ZnO–ZnS sheet composite with a S/O atomic ratio of 0.61 exhibits the highest photoactivity among various samples. The enhanced charge separation efficiency because of the formation of ZnO/ZnS heterojunctions and porous structure allowed the synthesis of the ZnO–ZnS composite via hydrothermal vulcanization with 0.05 M Na2S, and shows the higher photoelectrochemical (PEC) degradation ability towards Rhodamine B solution among various samples. The scavenger tests and the proposed PEC-degradation mechanism demonstrate that superoxide radicals are the main active species for the degradation of the RhB solution. The experimental results herein show that the porous ZnO–ZnS sheet composite with a suitable phase ratio is promising for photoelectrocatalyst applications.

Physiological Responses During Karate Kata in Practitioners and Athletes: A Scoping Review
Authors: Lassalvia Cintia , Julio Ursula Ferreira , Franchini Emerson
Published: March 2022

Kata is a relevant task practiced by karatekas during karate sessions and an important competitive category that has made its debut at the Tokyo Olympic Games. This scoping review article presents what is already known about the physiological demands, and energy system contribution during kata practice in athletes and practitioners. The focus was related to heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration ([La]), and oxygen consumption (V̇o
2). Studies were retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus, and in 104 articles found, 10 were considered eligible for this review. The results showed that kata practice can improve cardiorespiratory fitness. HR and lactate values changed according to the kata performed and the level of the performer's expertise. Lactate responses increased significantly after 3 kata repetitions compared with resting values. The energy system contribution was related to the kata duration, with the oxidative system being the predominant energy source in the longer kata, which is usually executed during competitions.

The measurement, analysis, and reporting of physical qualities within sport is vital for practitioners to support athlete development. However, several challenges exist to support this process (e.g., establishing comparative data, managing large data sets) within sport. This article presents 7 challenges associated with physical testing in sport and offers solutions to overcome them. These solutions are supported by a description of the Profiling Physical Qualities (ProPQ) tool. The ProPQ tool uses advanced data analysis, visualization, and interactive elements, to enhance stakeholders' use of data to optimize player development and coaching practices. The ProPQ is currently used across rugby league in England.
Optimization and Verification of Ultra-Miniature Specimen for Evaluating Creep Property of In-Service Component Material under Uniaxial Loading
Authors: Tsurui M. , Hisaka C. , Takahashi K. , Nitta A. , Yaguchi M.
Published: March 2022

A practical procedure of creep life prediction has already been applied to an in-service boiler steam pipe in Japan. The procedure is based on a few creep tests by a small punch creep (SPC) specimen machined from a thin coupon sample, which is successfully taken from the outer surface of the pipe by an electric discharge sampling equipment. However, a coefficient converting the applied load into stress is required in the application of the SPC test data to the life prediction. Thus, in this study, as an alternative specimen with a dimension equivalent to a SPC disc specimen (8 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in thickness), a thin plate specimen referred to as the ultra-miniature creep (UMC) specimen (2 mm in width, 10 mm in length, and 0.5 mm in thickness) was devised for a uniaxial tension creep test. Compared to the creep and creep-rupture properties obtained by a standard round bar (φ6 mm) specimen machined from a replaced steam pipe material (ASME Grade 91 steel), the stress-rupture relationship of the UMC specimen was found to coincide with that of the standard one. However, the creep strain and creep rate of the UMC specimen measured by a pull-rod displacement were larger than those of the standard one. From an elastic-creep analysis by a finite element method, this was attributed to superimposition of creep deformation in a grip portion clamping the UMC specimen on the creep strain in the parallel portion of the specimen. So, from the analytical results, an adjustment factor was derived to modify the creep property of the UMC specimen. As a result, application of this factor was found to lead to coincidence of the creep property between UMC and standard specimens.

Authors: Del Toro Israel , Dickson Kimberly , Hakes Alyssa S. , Newman Shannon L.
Published: March 2022

Increasingly, students training in the biological sciences depend on a proper grounding in biological statistics, data science and experimental design. As biological datasets increase in size and complexity, transparent data management and analytical methods are essential skills for undergraduate biologists. We propose that using the software R and RStudio are effective tools to train first- and second-year undergraduate students in data visualization and foundational statistical analyses. Here, we present the redesigned laboratory curriculum for our Experimental Design and Statistics course, a required course for all first- or second-year biology majors at Lawrence University, a small liberal arts institution in northeast Wisconsin. We include an example 10-week syllabus and eight laboratory exercises (as supplementary materials) for undergraduate institutions that aim to introduce and guide students through acquiring a basic understanding of biostatistical analyses and skills using R and RStudio. We also provide a flexible framework and examples that are easily modifiable and cover the essential biostatistics and data science skills needed for biology undergraduates. Finally, we discuss the potential pitfalls and obstacles as well as the intrinsic benefits and expected outcomes of our laboratories.
Analysis of Phenolic Compound Concentrations in Over-the-Counter Herbal Preparations
Authors: Deutch Charles E.
Published: March 2022

Many people rely on over-the-counter herbal extracts to treat a variety of health conditions from lethargy to respiratory or gastrointestinal stress to urinary tract infections. These preparations are relatively inexpensive and available from grocery stores, pharmacies, health-food stores, and online distributors. While the labels on these products usually indicate their plant sources and added ingredients such as sugars or alcohol, there is no standardization of their chemical composition. Most of the medical effects of herbal extracts have been attributed to phenolic and polyphenolic compounds, which differ in number, structure, and proportions from one plant preparation to another. Some polyphenolic compounds such as quercetin are antioxidants that can prevent heart disease while others such as baicalein are antimicrobial agents that can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria. In this student project, students use a simple colorimetric assay with the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent to measure the total concentration of phenolic compounds in several over-the-counter extracts. These concentrations may vary greatly even among products from the same plant source. This project provides a good opportunity for students to practice experimental design, the use of micropipettes, the construction of standard curves, and quantitative analysis.

Many biology students eventually pursue careers in the health sciences. To create explicit links between introductory biology content and the health sciences, we implemented Context Breaks—a series of seven mini-lectures linking course content to lactase persistence/nonpersistence. Context Breaks were implemented over the course of a semester in a punctuated case-study format and received positive feedback from students. They most highly associated them with deeper learning of material.
The Social Life of High School Seniors: COVID Experiences
Authors: Maxwell Clara , Van Rijckevorsel Thomas
Published: March 2022

COVID-19 marks a time of social isolation and social change in the lives of many people. While previous literature has focused on the mental health consequences of isolation on young people, our qualitative research aims to explore the lived experiences of adolescents during the pandemic. Based on 10 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with senior year students at the John F. Kennedy School in Berlin, this study seeks to determine whether both the government and school-imposed COVID-measures have impacted the social lives of our participants and to understand how they experience these potential changes. Our research found that students report a significant change in social life, but, in contrast with the existing literature, their experience of this social change is perceived as positive. These positive changes included a reported improvement in social connections, a more conscious use of social media, and the potential for more alone time. By exploring these three themes, our participants’ unexpected positivity can be placed into a larger context in which the pandemic is an opportunity to forge more meaningful connections while learning to be more conscious in spending time alone in an “always-on” culture.

Published: March 2022

This study aimed to explore the relationship between thyroid function and autoimmunity and adverse birth outcomes. Serum levels of thyroid function were detected by electrochemiluminescence assay. Urine iodine concentration was detected using the acid digestion method. We used multiple linear regression to assess the correlation between thyroid function indicators and birth weight according to trimester stratification and binary logistic regression to evaluate the correlation between thyroid dysfunction and adverse birth outcomes. Reference ranges for trimester-specific thyroid hormones were established in our 2564 pregnant women cohort with mild iodine deficiency. The higher the maternal thyroid-stimulating hormone in the first trimester (B = 0.09, P  = 0.048) and total triiodothyronine (TT3) in the third trimester (B = 0.16, P  < 0.001) of TPOAbnegative women, the higher the birth weight Z-score, whereas in the second trimester, free-thyroxine of mothers with TPOAb negative was lower (B = −0.10, P  = 0.026) and the birth weight Z-score was higher. Pregnant women with overt and subclinical hyperthyroidism had a higher risk of preterm births than euthyroid women (11.9% vs 4.5%; odds ratio (OR): 2.84; P  = 0.009). Women with higher TT3 had a higher risk of preterm (17.0% vs 4.5%; OR: 4.19; P  < 0.001) and LGA (34.0% vs 11.1%; OR: 3.70; P  < 0.001) births than euthyroid women. In conclusion, thyroid function during pregnancy could affect birth weight and birth outcome.

Published: March 2022

Context

Hypothalamic injury often leads to rapid, intractable weight gain causing hypothalamic obesity, which is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity and mortality. There are no approved or effective pharmacological treatments for hypothalamic obesity, and conventional lifestyle management remains ineffective.

Objective

To investigate the safety and efficacy of Tesomet (0.5 mg tesofensine/50 mg metoprolol) in adults with hypothalamic obesity.

Methods

Twenty-one adults with hypothalamic obesity (16 females) were randomized to Tesomet (0.5 mg/50 mg) or placebo for 24 weeks. Patients also received diet/lifestyle counselling. The primary endpoint was safety; secondary endpoints included measures of body weight, appetite scores, quality of life, and metabolic profile.

Results

Eighteen patients completed 24 weeks. Consent withdrawal, eligibility, and serious adverse events (SAE) unrelated to treatment resulted in dropouts. One patient experienced a Tesomet-related SAE of exacerbated pre-existing anxiety leading to treatment discontinuation. Tesomet-related adverse events were otherwise mostly mild and included sleep disturbances (Tesomet 50%, placebo 13%), dry mouth (Tesomet 43%, placebo 0%), and headache (Tesomet 36%, placebo 0%). No significant differences in heart rate or blood pressure were observed between groups. Compared to placebo, Tesomet resulted in additional mean (95% CI) weight change of −6.3% ((−11.3; −1.3); P  = 0.017), increased the number of patients achieving ≥5% weight loss (Tesomet 8/13, placebo 1/8; P  = 0.046), and tended to augment the reduction in waist circumference by 5.7 cm ((−0.1; 11.5); P  = 0.054).

Conclusion

Tesomet was welltolerated, did not affect heart rate or blood pressure, and resulted in significant reductions in body weight compared to placebo in adults with hypothalamic obesity.
V. G. RASPUTIN ON THE CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION OF RUSSIAN LITERATURE
Authors: Yureva Olga Y
Published: March 2022

The article examines the Christian foundations of the aesthetic views of V. G. Rasputin, which he expressed in various speeches, journalistic articles, and literary works. Tying Russian literature with the adoption of Christianity in Russia, Rasputin argued that it inherited the “science of the soul” taught by the church, patristic principles, and Christian laws and commandments. All the criteria for evaluating literary phenomena of the past and present for the writer are based on Christian categories and laws. Rasputin understands literature as the main factor in the formation of the Russian nation, along with the Orthodox faith, as a “powerful incentive” “for the creation of a Russian person.” Literature contributed to the “artistic and moral design of the soul” of the Russian person, fulfilled a “priestly mission.” Rasputin considered the most important thing in the writer’s work to be its spiritual and moral impact on the reader. The writer believed that the primary task of Russian literature at the present stage of development is “the salvation of the nation,” “the salvation of Russian spirituality.” As the writer claimed, the basis of Russian civilization is the redemptive synodic principle. The writer’s views are embodied in his work, which recreates a truly “Orthodox image of the world.”

The Probability of the Financing Sustainability of Micro-firms Supported by Islamic Social Fund
Authors: Hakim Andi , Dalimunthe Zuliani
Published: March 2022

This study aims to identify factors that influence financing sustainability, thereby determining the probability of attaining the subsequent financing from Islamic social funds. Islamic social funds provide funding for micro-firms using a financing scheme that differs from conventional financing terms. For the lower level, Islamic social funds usually offer a limited amount of no-cost financing called qard. In contrast, for more profitable micro-firms, Islamic social funds provide low-cost financing called murabahah. However, most micro-firms need financing in sustainable terms, either using a qard scheme or a murabahah scheme. We assume that only micro-firms showing business growth may generate higher financing using the murabahah scheme. We use data from 1,346 micro-firms. We found several factors that contribute significantly to a micro-firm having a higher chance of generating further funding, such as group-type financing, amount of funding (plafond), time to maturity, and demographic aspects such as age and number of dependents. However, we found that the initial contract scheme (whether qard or murabahah) does not relate to the chance of eligibility for further financing.How to Cite:Hakim, A. & Dalimunthe, Z. (2022).

Published: March 2022

This study aims to determine the relationship between profitability, good corporate governance, dividend policy, and firm value from 2016-2018 in manufacturing companies at ISSI. This study uses classical assumption tests and path analysis. The results show that the board of commissioners has a significant negative effect on profitability and has no impact on firm value. The audit committee and dividend policy do not affect profitability and firm value. Profitability has a significant positive effect on firm value. Profitability mediates the impact of the board of commissioners and dividend policy but does not mediate the audit committee on firm value. This finding shows a relationship between variables that impact firm value. The implication of this research is to suggest that investors need to look at the company's prospects by paying attention to the company's value and analyzing the company's performance by considering the influencing factors. How to Cite:Safitri, R., Lidyah, R., & Rachmania.

The main objective of this study is to estimate the determinants of drinking water supply on the housing rental value using survey based data for the years 2013-14 in Pakistan. Hedonic pricing model is applied using rental value of the houses per month as dependent variable. Piped-water connection and number of rooms show significant impact on housing prices for both rural and urban. Using marginal implicit pricing method, Marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) is also calculated using the median of the rental values of the houses for both rural-urban regions and owned-rented houses. PKR 1676 and PKR 332 are willing to pay per month for urban and rural areas respectively to have quality of water inside their houses. On the same lines, PKR 1087 and PKR 521 are computed values of WTP for these who have their own houses and living on rent respectively.How to Cite:Kiani, A., Andleeb, Z., & Qureshi, J. A. (2022).

Published: March 2022

The present study examines the effect of emotional intelligence on turnover intention and organizational indifference, noting the mediating role of organizational commitment. The current model of the study is considered one of the first attempts in examining these variables in the tourism industry. The structural equation modeling has been used to analyze the sample consisting of hotel department managers who have direct contact with the customers. According to the research results, emotional intelligence and organizational commitment decrease turnover intention and organizational indifference of the hotel department managers. In addition, emotional intelligence has been positively associated with the employees' organizational commitment. Finally, it has been found that organizational commitment mediates the effect of emotional intelligence on turnover intention and organizational indifference. Managers at the hotels should have the high emotional intelligence to establish empathy and perseverance to avoid being indifferent. In order to do this, hotel managers’ commitment should be increased to perceive their job as their own.How to Cite:Uzunbacak, H. H., Erhan, T., & Ak akanat, T. (2022).

This study empirically assesses the co-operatives' productivity across 23 districts/cities in Aceh province, Indonesia, over 2014-2018 using the Malmquist Total Factor of Productivity Index (MTFPI) based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Unlike previous studies that focused only on selected sectors and industries, this study examines the co-operative productivity of all industries and sectors within one province. Overall, this study recorded a low productivity level of co-operatives. Only co-operatives in Subulussalam City consistently experienced a fully productive using both Constant Return to Scale (CRS) and Variable Return to Scale (VRS) estimations. Meanwhile, based on the VRS estimation, the study found that the co-operatives in Aceh Besar and Aceh Utara's districts had experienced total productivity. Overall, the co-operatives' productivity level has slightly declined, contributed mainly by a decline in technical efficiency. However, the co-operatives' efficiency level has increased, mainly due to their scale efficiency improvement. The findings suggested the importance of implementing sound co-operative governance principles and enhancing technical efficiency by adopting e-marketing and the internet of things in their business activities.How to Cite:Majid, M.S.A., Faisal, F., Fahlevi, H., & Azhari, A.

The Effect of Iron Deficiency on Cardiac Function and Structure in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Authors: Martens Pieter
Published: March 2022

Over the past decade, the detrimental impact of iron deficiency in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction has become abundantly clear, showing a negative impact on functional status, quality of life, cardiac function and structure, exercise capacity and an increased risk of hospitalisation due to heart failure. Mechanistic studies have shown the impact of iron deficiency in altering mitochondrial function and negatively affecting the already altered cardiac energetics in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Such failing energetics form the basis of the alterations to cellular myocyte shortening, culminating in reduced systolic function and cardiac performance. The IRON-CRT trials show that ferric carboxymaltose is capable of improving cardiac structure and cardiac performance. This article discusses the effect of iron deficiency on cardiac function and structure and how it can be alleviated.
El marañón (Anacardium occidentale L.) un cultivo con potencial productivo: desarrollo tecnológico y perspectivas en Colombia
Authors: Orduz-Rodríguez Javier Orlando , Rodríguez-Polanco Eleonora
Published: March 2022

Introducción. La demanda mundial de nuez de marañón (Anacardium occidentale L.) ha crecido a más del 7 % anual, mientras que la producción lo hace a un ritmo del 6 % anual. Esta condición de mercado global coloca al marañón y sus derivados como una alternativa agrícola promisoria en Colombia, donde se importan cerca de 270 t de almendra al año. Objetivo. Exponer los aspectos básicos del cultivo de marañón, así como evidenciar el desarrollo tecnológico actual y las perspectivas futuras en Colombia. Desarrollo. Aproximadamente el 60 % del área cultivada en marañón en Colombia presenta rendimientos promedios inferiores a 100 kg ha-1 de nuez, considerados bajos comparados con los 1000 kg ha-1 o incluso superiores que pueden ser obtenidos con un manejo tecnificado del cultivo, situación debida al desconocimiento y escasa aplicación de tecnologías para la producción intensiva por parte de los productores. No obstante, en la actualidad existe la oferta tecnológica de clones de marañón con características productivas y de calidad sobresalientes, al igual que recomendaciones técnicas de manejo agronómico del cultivo y poscosecha de la nuez, que pueden ser difundidas e implementadas para abordar las principales limitantes del cultivo, para mejorar la producción de marañón de manera rentable y sostenible a nivel ambiental. Conclusión. La sostenibilidad de las plantaciones comerciales actuales de marañón y el incremento de las áreas de siembra en Colombia, requieren de la validación y adopción de tecnologías innovadoras en el manejo integrado del cultivo y poscosecha que podrían impactar en el cultivo de marañón en el país, al presentar alternativas de mejora en su comportamiento productivo, así como rentabilidad para los productores.
COVID-19 and relationship quality: Emotional, paid work and organizational spheres
Authors: Bellani Daniela , Vignoli Daniele
Published: March 2022

This study contributes to the growing literature on the repercussions of the COVID- 19 pandemic for family functioning, with a special focus on couples’ relationship quality. We advance an analytical model that emphasizes the role of three main stressors of relationship quality during the pandemic: namely, emotional, paid work-related and organizational stressors. To outline such an approach, we analyze whether the onset of the pandemic – and the home confinement that followed – has reduced relationship quality in France, Italy and Spain using survey data collected in April 2020.We show that relationship quality decreased for a non-negligible part of the population, and that this result was driven mostly by the emotional stressor. These negative effects on relationship quality appeared to be relatively stable across genders, different levels of network support and countries; which suggests that the severity of the lockdown measures outweighed the traditional moderating factors usually accounted for in family research.

The principle of publicity as a constitutional category with special focus on civil contested procedure
Authors: Qehaja Rrustem , Ajeti Arbnor
Published: March 2022

One of the basic principles in civil contested procedure is the principle of publicity. Our aim in this scientific paper is to address this principle from all legal points of view in order to make a concrete review of what the principle of publicity in civil contested procedure implies, and how this principle is guaranteed based on legal acts, since in order to have regular judicial process it is necessary to respect all rights and procedures that are guaranteed by legal acts, and among them the principle of publicity plays a key role. The importance of this scientific paper consists in how it addresses several comparative legal aspects regarding the principle of publicity as a constitutional category under Article 6 (1) of the European Convention on Human Rights, and in the legislations of Kosovo, Albania, and North Macedonia. We also address the principle of publicity as a fundamental principle in civil contested procedure, the violation of legal rules related to publicity, and the exclusion of the public from trial. Therefore, bearing in mind the importance of the right to a fair trial, we address the principle of publicity, with special emphasis on contentious civil proceedings.
Al–Mn–Cr–Zr-based alloys tailored for powder bed fusion-laser beam process: Alloy design, printability, resulting microstructure and alloy properties
Authors: Mehta Bharat , Nyborg Lars , Frisk Karin , Hryha Eduard
Published: March 2022

This study introduces a family of unique Al–Mn–Cr–Zr-based aluminium alloys illustrated by two ternary and one quaternary variants. The choice of alloy compositions has created a system resistant to solidification cracking while retaining high amount of solutes in solid solution in as-printed condition. Good relative density (~ 99.5%) has been demonstrated along with microstructural study supported by X-ray diffraction to display solidification structure with nanometric precipitate formation in small amounts in as-printed condition. High levels of Mn and Cr produce significant solid solution strengthening reaching hardness of up to 102 HV in as-printed condition. Additionally, the combination of Mn, Cr and Zr is shown to be important to control precipitation strengthening upon direct ageing and coarsening resistance due to slow diffusivity. To elucidate the concept of precipitation strengthening, one set of alloys was aged at 678 K between 0 and 10 h and microhardness results showed that average hardness response reached 130 HV for the quarternary alloy.
