Authors: Eswaran Lavanya , Prabakaran Vetriselvi , Bethou Adhisivam
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Neonates are prone for sepsis due to their immature immune system. Sepsis is preventable if we aware of the maternal and neonatal risk factors. This study aimed to identify the incidence of sepsis and its risk factors. Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out among 288 neonates in level III Neonatal unit. Convenience sampling technique was used to enroll the neonates who met the inclusion criteria. Data pertaining to neonatal and maternal demographic and clinical characteristics, incidence of sepsis, risk factors of sepsis were collected by direct observation and from medical record. Data regarding number of skin pricks for blood sample and intravenous cannulation and number of handling of the baby were collected from Tally counters. Data were analysed using chi square test, t-test and logistic regression with SPSS software version 25. Results: The incidence of sepsis was 34.7% in level III neonatal unit. Culture positive sepsis constituted 7.3%, urinary tract infection 0.3%, meningitis 7 % and probable sepsis 26.4%. Neonatal factors like extreme preterm, extreme low birth weight, gestational age, birth weight, duration of stay in level III neonatal unit, number of handling, number of skin pricks, duration of intravenous line, duration of tube feeds, mechanical ventilation and maternal premature rupture of membrane were associated with neonatal sepsis significantly. Conclusion: Incidence of neonatal sepsis can be minimized by concentrating on modifiable risk factors and implementing the protocol of minimum handling and minimal skin pricks for the neonates.

Introduction: The package of essential non-communicable diseases (PEN) has been implemented in 2016 in Iran. The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence rate of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, and the mortality rate due to these diseases, following the lunch of the PEN project. Methods: This is a historical cohort study that was performed in 2020. Data were gathered through the hospital information system in the exposed and the control counties hospitals in the Isfahan province. The data about over 30-year-old patients who were hospitalized as definite cases of MI and/or stroke were collected via census sampling. The incidence rates of MI, stroke, and mortality due to those diseases were compared in 2015 (one year before the launch of the PEN project) and 2019 (4 years after the project initiation). Results: Following the implementation of the PEN project, the incidence and mortality rates due to MI among the over 30-year-old population in the exposed county, were reduced by 0.31 per 1000 and 9 per 100 000 respectively. Furthermore, the incidence rate due to stroke in the exposed county further slowed down, and the mortality rate due to stroke was reduced by 33 per 100,000 more than 30 years old population significantly. Conclusion: Following the implementation of the PEN project, the incidence rate due to MI and mortality rates due to MI and stroke decreased significantly. In addition, the incidence rate due to stroke further slowed down in the exposed county in comparison with the control county.
School Experiences and Happiness Levels of School-Age Children: A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis
Authors: Saifah Yotsawee
Published: November 2022

Background: Happiness is a measure of school-age children’s well-being. Many factors have been identified as the source of school-age children’s happiness, among which school experiences are particularly significant. This study aimed to investigate school-age children’s happiness and school experiences in various contexts. Methods: In total, 3282 Thai school-age children (first- and sixth-grade students) across the country were randomly selected in 2019. The exploratory research design was used for quantitative and qualitative data collection. The selected samples were administered self-reported questionnaires, interviewed, and observed in their school settings for five days a week. The collected quantitative data were analyzed with mean scores, standard deviations (SD), and the t test, while qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: The mean score (±SD) of the first- and sixth-grade students were 2.290 (±0.32) and 2.220 (±0.30), respectively, which was interpreted as a moderate level of happiness. Factors such as grade levels, school types, food consumption, class hours, learning activities, and play activities had a statistically significant impact on school-age children’s happiness (P≤0.05). A qualitative examination of their routines and schedules on weekdays demonstrated that these children lost out on personal time and could not make decisions to spend time on the activities of their own interest and preference. Conclusion: School-age children are burdened with required schoolwork and barely have the time for any recreation and rest. Thus, children’s happiness is reduced with lower recess time.

Published: November 2022

Background: Due to the great importance of health literacy during pregnancy and its direct impact on the health of the mother and her child, this study aimed to evaluate the health literacy of pregnant women in a semi-urban area, Kuhdasht county, located in western Iran and to investigate its associated factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 300 pregnant mothers referred to a governmental prenatal care center in Kuhdasht county, Iran, in 2019. Data collection tools included a demographic form and the Persian version of the Maternal Health Literacy and Pregnancy Outcome Questionnaire (MHLAPQ). Collected data were then analyzed through SPSS software version 22 using the Pearson correlation test and Multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The mean score for the maternal health literacy dimension was 58.38±8.87 (out of 70), and it was 47.20±6.22 (out of 60) for the pregnancy outcome dimension. This indicates that the current pregnant women had adequate health literacy and pregnancy outcome. Further, there was a significant relationship between maternal health literacy and pregnancy outcome (r=0.58, P=0.001). Moreover, multiple linear regression results indicated that age, occupation, education, ferrous sulfate uptake, history of abortion, frequency of pregnancy, the trimester for prenatal care initiation, and birth weight of infants could not significantly predict health literacy in women (P>0.05). Conclusion: The health literacy level of pregnant women in Kuhdasht county, Iran, is adequate but not high. Accordingly, it is necessary to further consider maternal health literacy in socio-economic and health planning due to its effect on the health of the child and mother.

Published: November 2022

Background: Office workers are high-risk populations for their sedentary behavior and its related diseases. This study examined the structured intervention on physical activities in employees. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 189 participants were allocated to two experimental and control groups using the multistage random sampling method. Data were collected through the short form of an international physical activity questionnaire, and a structured researcher-made questionnaire containing demographic and questions related to the constructs of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The experimental group contributed to four training sessions and four practical walking meetings. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 19) using independent t test, chi-square, and linear regression tests at the significance level of 0.05. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups before the intervention regarding the mean score of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, behavioral intention, physical activity, and demographic variables (P>0.05). After the intervention, the mean score of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, behavioral intention, and physical activity in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The finding of this study suggests that TPB is a suitable framework for designing physical activity interventions among office workers.

Published: November 2022

Triphala is a medicinal plant that can improve anthropometric parameters. Although Triphala is widely used, especially in India and Thailand, its efficacy is still controversial. Consequently, the purpose of this meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis was to assess the safety of Triphala and its effects on anthropometric parameters. A comprehensive review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials assessing the safety of Triphala and its effects on anthropometric parameters were conducted by searching PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and ThaiLIS databases. Two authors independently conducted the study selection and data extraction and evaluated the quality of the studies. The clinical therapeutic effects and adverse events of Triphala were evaluated and aggregated using a random-effects model. The chi-square and I2 tests were used to assess heterogeneity between the studies. Seven trials with a total of 458 patients were included. The Triphala-treated groups demonstrated a considerable decrease in body weight (BW) (weighted mean difference [WMD]: −2.99 kg; 95% CI: −5.31, −0.67; P = 0.012; I2 = 94.4%), body mass index (BMI) (WMD: −0.79 kg/m2; 95% CI: −1.52, −0.07; P = 0.032; I2 = 90.4%), and waist circumference (WC) (WMD: −1.86 cm; 95% CI: −3.10, −0.62; P = 0.003; I2 = 88.8%). During the treatment period, there were no reports of serious adverse events related to Triphala. However, there was no association between the dose or duration of treatment and any of the recorded outcomes. This meta-analysis revealed that Triphala significantly improved BW, BMI, and WC. Nevertheless, substantial, well-designed randomized controlled studies are necessary to confirm this finding.

Authors: Amoo Stephen O , Mudau Tshenzhemo E , Olowoyo Joshua O
Published: November 2022

Introduction: α-Glucosidase is the major enzyme implicated in intestinal glucose absorption, and its inhibition is a target for the management of diabetes mellitus. This study investigated the in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of extracts from different parts of 20 selected medicinal plants and the potential for plant-part substitution and plant species combinations used by traditional healers to treat diabetes. Methods: Acetone and petroleum ether extracts from different parts of 20 plant species traditionally used to treat diabetes were individually evaluated in vitro using an α-glucosidase assay. The potential for plant-part substitution was investigated by including leaf extracts where non-renewable parts are used traditionally. The extracts of plant species were combined and investigated as used traditionally. Results: Anthocleista grandiflora stem bark acetone, Artabotrys brachypetalus leaf petroleum ether, and Dichrostachys cinerea root petroleum ether extracts exhibited remarkable α-glucosidase inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 9, 14, and 12 μg/mL, respectively. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of A. grandiflora, A. brachypetalus, Asparagus virgatus, Brackenridgea zanguebarica, Maerua edulis, Pterocarpus angolensis, and Tabernaemontana elegans were documented for the first time, suggesting their antidiabetic potential. The leaf acetone extracts of Brackenridgea zanguebarica and Terminalia sericea had similar α-glucosidase inhibitory activities when compared to their stem bark and root, respectively. The combination of Dichrostachys cinerea leaf with Elephantorrhiza elephantina root, extracted with petroleum ether, resulted in a synergistic inhibitory effect. Conclusion: The valorization of these newly documented species holds potential for the discovery of more effective and perhaps novel antidiabetic remedies or drug principles.

Опоясывающий герпес чаще встречается у детей старшего возраста, однако активация латентной формы может наблюдаться на первом году жизни.

Introduction. Herpes zoster is a latent form of the disease caused by the Varicella zoster virus, which develops as a result of its reactivation after suffering from chickenpox in childhood. People over 50 years of age are at increased risk of developing herpes zoster due to the physiological withering of the body; children rarely get sick and, as a rule, this happens on the background of depressive states of the immune system. Sporadic publications are available on the incidence of herpes zoster in children in the first year of life with the following risk factors for HZ: maternal chickenpox during pregnancy, primary VZV infection (chickenpox) in the 1st year of life, and provoking factors may include hypothermia, trauma, intoxication, chronic infections, oncological diseases and a number of other conditions.Purpose. To study features of clinical and laboratory findings in children of different ages diagnosed with herpes zoster.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of 46 patients diagnosed with herpes zoster undergoing treatment between January 2019 and May 2022.Results. Clinical and laboratory features of HZ in children of different ages are given in the article. A clinical case of shingles in a child in the first year of life is described.Conclusion. Herpes zoster is more common in older children, however, activation of the latent form can be observed in the first year of life.

Authors: CHIHAI (PEȚU) Rodica , SĂRACU Alina-Florentina , UNGUREANU Claudia-Veronica
Published: November 2022

Nanometallic materials are metals and alloys that form nanocrystalline grains with particle size of about 5 to100 nm. In materials science, “green synthesis” has become a reliable, sustainable, and eco-friendly protocol for synthesizing a wide range of materials such as metal oxides, hybrids, and bio-inspired materials. Nowadays, a wide range of physico-chemical methods are used for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Green synthesis is found to be superior over physical and  hemical method as it is economically feasible, environmentally friendly, scaled up for massscale production without any complexity. Several biological approaches, including the utilization of plant extracts, enzymes, bacteria, fungi, and algae, are  being studied in order to enable a more environmentally sound synthesis of nanoparticles. Because these techniques are regarded as safe and environmentally responsible for the production of nanomaterials as an alternative to conventional methods, the development of green methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles is developing into a significant area of nanotechnology.
Increase the Load of Loss of Stability for the Pillars of Large-Opening Halls
Authors: BOTIȘ Marius , PLEȘCAN Costel
Published: November 2022

At the ground floor halls with an opening or more, the forces that are transmitted through the pillars due to gravitational loads (snow, and her weight) have high values. The gravitational difference that is transmitted to the pillars increases the greater the opening between the pillars is. In this Article we analyse the pillars of halls that are articulated recessed, because they have the advantage that the joints do not transmit bending moments. In the case of halls with large openings or halls rehabilitated or strengthened, to increase the critical load of loss of stability can increase the moment of inertia of the pillars from the recessed to the articulated end. In this Article, a parametric numerical study is presented, which establishes the critical load at a pillar with a variable section, depending on the length of the area where the moment of inertia of the slat has been increased.

Authors: Denisova Elena
Published: November 2022

Geoinformation assessment of spatial data is carried out in order to establish the condition and location of irrigated lands on the territory of the Svetloyarsky District of the Volgograd region, as well as their geomorphological characteristics using remote sensing data, digital terrain models, soil maps. The results of the study make it possible to develop a system of socio-economic measures for the effective use of agricultural land and land management. The objectives of the study included: establishing the spatial position, geometric, soil characteristics of irrigated arable land in the study area, as well as developing a map of the distribution of irrigated land, taking into account their use. The boundaries of 1423 plots of irrigated arable land with an area of 52,300.1 hectares have been determined, with the specification of their configuration, spatial placement, relief, exposure based on remote sensing data. The average slope angle of irrigated arable land is 1.16°, the average size of the irrigated arable land plot is
36.6 hectares. The largest area of distribution (33,637.1 hectares) was received by irrigated lands on a slope steepness of 0.5°–1.0°. To a greater extent—60.8 % of irrigated lands are located on chestnut salt flats with light chestnut salt complexes. The proportion of light chestnut salty with chestnut salt is 13.5 %. On other types of soils, irrigated lands occupy from 0.6 % to 7.4 %. The calculated value of potential soil flushing in the areas of irrigated arable land most susceptible to the spread of erosion processes ranges from 6.4 t/ha to 35.1 t/ha. Obtaining data on the condition and functioning of irrigated lands on the basis of geoinformation technologies is aimed at preserving soil fertility and maintaining the conditions for the functioning of the agricultural landscape as a whole.
Radial geochemical barriers in soils of the Perm territory
Authors: Kondrateva Mariya , Samofalova Iraida
Published: November 2022

Geochemical barriers in soils control the composition and intensity of geochemical fluxes of natural and technogenic substances in landscapes. The Perm Territory is an industrial region. The total volume of emissions from enterprises of the chemical industry, oil and gas industry, transport, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, electric power industry in 2020 exceeded 380 thousand tons. A sharp spatial change in relief elements, a wide range of temperature parameters of the climate and moisture conditions create a diverse combination of soil-forming factors and, as a result, the diversity of the soil cover of the region, determine the manifold of geochemical settings and differences in the buffer capacity of soils. The objectives of the study included mapping radial geochemical barriers to assess their spatial heterogeneity in terms of anchoring mechanisms and barrier capacity. The soil map of the Russian Federation at a scale of 1:2500000 served as the thematic basis. The database of soil properties was compiled on the basis of the data of the Unified State Register of Soil Resources of Russia with the involvement of regional sources. All maps and attribute databases for them were created using QGIS version 3.2.2 (Maderia). The mapping technique is based on the “horizon approach,” according to which genetic soil horizons are considered as radial geochemical barriers. Two maps of radial barriers were created: surface biogeochemical barriers and physicochemical barriers of the middle horizons. The estimate of the capacity of the surface organic and organomineral barriers of soils in the region was carried out according to the following indicators: the thickness of organogenic and organomineral horizons, humus content, and granulometric composition. The capacity of surface biogeochemical barriers follows a geographical pattern: from north to south of the region, the capacity of organic barriers decreases and the capacity of organo-mineral barriers increases. Among the intrasoil physical and chemical barriers of the soils of the region, the following were distinguished: carbonate, gley and sorption. In general, the region is dominated by oxidizing conditions with a high-capacity sorption-sedimentation barrier in soils. Podzolic and soddy-podzolic soils, occupying 62 % of the region’s area, have a sorption-sedimentation barrier. Podzols, podburs, brown-taiga soils have a low- and moderately capacious chemisorption barrier. The soils of the forest-steppe are characterized by a moderate sorption-sedimentary barrier. Gley barriers of hydromorphic soils occupy approximately 20 % of the area. These maps can be recommended for inclusion in the “Soils” section of the regional comprehensive geographic atlas.

Published: November 2022

Alih fungsi kawasan hijau menjadi perumahan Daun Village Balikpapan diduga merupakan salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan peningkatan debit pada saluran sekunder Balikpapan Baru dan Syarifuddin Yoes. Berbagai upaya pengembang perumahan dalam mengatasi masalah ini dengan membangun kolam tampung untuk menampung kelebihan debit tidak cukup untuk menampung seluruh peningkatan debit yang terjadi sehingga tidak sesuai dengan Prinsip Zero Delta Q (ZDQP). Diperlukan penerapan ZDQP yang lebih komprehensif untuk mengurangi dampak pembangunan perumahan ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan melakukan analisis curah hujan harian maksimum 20 tahun terakhir, analisis perubahan debit, dan analisis skenario penerapan ZDQP untuk mendapatkan debit banjir yang sama sebelum dan setelah pembangunan. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengurangi dampak banjir adalah optimalisasi kolam tampung, penerapan lubang resapan biopori dan penambahan kolam tampung, yang mengurangi debit banjir pada wilayah catchment Sub-DAS Balikpapan Baru dan Sub-DAS Syarifuddin Yoes sebesar 4,21 m3/det dan 0,38 m3/det. Implementasi ZDQP pada skenario ini menghasilkan debit setelah rencana yang besarnya sama dengan debit sebelum pembangunan, sehingga pembangunan tidak menambah beban saluran drainase kota.

Who Is a Woman: Sex, Gender and Policy Making
Authors: Joel Daphna , Fine Cordelia
Published: November 2022

Heated debates are taking place over the question: Who is a woman? Many of these are over inclusion criteria for policies that seek to promote equality, safety and/or privacy for girls and women by excluding boys and men. Science cannot resolve these debates, but its concepts and data can offer useful insights and information for policy makers who have to make principled and workable policy decisions about inclusion criteria. To assist policy makers in this difficult task, we begin by reviewing three key concepts that are often misunderstood and conflated: sex, gender, and gender identity. We then review key issues that policy makers should consider: the purpose(s) of the specific policy and whether it relates to sex, gender, and/or gender identity, and the distributions of benefits and costs for all stakeholders. As these considerations sometimes point to a conflict of interests, we end with some suggestions for how such conflicts might be ameliorated. Although we do not offer solutions to these difficult policy decisions, we hope that this article will help reduce misunderstandings, and facilitate open discussion and good decision making in this contentious policy context.

This paper studies the need to integrate functional English language clinics to surmount the challenges of structurally-based curriculums and syllabuses of English language teaching and learning in Kaduna state Nigeria. It is true that there are various types of English language syllabuses used for teaching and learning especially at basic education as well as secondary and university levels. The paper consists of two objectives to determine the strength of the English language clinics and the extent to which teaching and learning the English language could be efficient enough among learners for effective communication. Two research questions were formulated to guide the conduct of this study. The research design adopted is a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study was made up of 23.535 basic education teachers of English in Kaduna state out of which a sample of 392 was drawn for the conduct of the study. The research questionnaire was developed by the researcher and was subsequently validated by a team of experts in the field of language education. The researcher used Cronbach Alpha to primarily determine a reliability coefficient of 0.84. Statistical Mean scores and standard deviation were used by the researcher to answer the two research questions. It was found that there are various syllabuses used in the English language teaching and learning in basic education in Kaduna state, but learners’ pressing needs and challenges are not taken into account by teachers through converting the classroom into clinics to diagnose challenges and offer solutions. The paper recommends the use of workshops to intimate teachers on the techniques for the integration of the principles of English language clinics in Kaduna state Nigeria.

A LITERATURA COMO INSTRUMENTO PEDAGÓGICO PARA O ESTUDO DE OUTROS SABERES
Authors: Meirelles Maria Luiza
Published: November 2022

O hábito da leitura é crucial para desenvolver a capacidade de interpretação de texto e, consequentemente, ajuda na compreensão dos conceitos e conteúdos de quaisquer áreas do conhecimento. Este artigo visa, então, apresentar a literatura não só como um valioso instrumento para fomentar o gosto pela leitura, como também para estimular os estudos de outros Saberes, quais sejam, Filosofia, Sociologia e História. Essa prática vai ao encontro de uma visão mais global para a formação do indivíduo e se realiza nos currículos escolares por meio da interdisciplinaridade. Realizou-se uma experiência com os alunos do terceiro ano do Ensino Médio e a avaliação qualitativa demonstrou que a ação teve impacto positivo tanto para estimular a leitura como para estudar outras matérias e ampliar a visão de mundo do aluno.

O Bioma Mata Atlântica, considerado um dos hotspots da humanidade é formado por diversas formações florestais que se encontram em risco de extinção. Pelo exposto, objetiva-se comparar a capacidade de regeneração arbórea em diferentes condições de umidade em Floresta Estacional Semidecidual ao Sul do Espírito Santo. Para levantamento da vegetação foi empregado o método de amostragem em parcelas, em que foram demarcadas 10 parcelas de 10 x 5 m no Cenário 1 (úmido) e Cenário 2 (seco), de forma aleatória. Foram coletados todos os indivíduos com altura ≥ a 50 cm e Diâmetro a Altura do Peito ≤ a 2,5 cm. O material botânico foi coletado, seco e identificados com auxílio de bibliografia especializada e circunscrição conforme APG IV. A análise fitossociológica foi realizada por intermédio do aplicativo FITOPAC 2. Os Parâmetros avaliados foram os propostos por Mueller-Dombois e Ellenberg, índice de diversidade de Shannon-Wiener, equabilidade de Pielou, grupo ecológico, análise via estatística descritiva e determinação da dispersão pelo Índice de Payandeh. Os resultados do levantamento no Cenário 1 e Cenário 2 perfazem um total de 357 indivíduos distribuídos em 16 famílias e 45 espécies. O Cenário 1, apesar de ter menos indivíduos que o cenário 2, é mais rico, apresenta melhores índices fitossociológicos, maior diversidade e melhor representatividade que o Cenário 2. Ambos os cenários se encontram num estágio intermediário de sucessão e apresentam padrão de distribuição agregado. A análise via estatística descritiva, demonstra que o Cenário 1 é mais homogêneo e possui menor desvio padrão.

Estratégias, metodologias e organizações de currículos integrados têm sido o foco de projetos de educação integrada nas redes de ensino que desafiam as trajetórias formativas de escolarização, principalmente as instituições que trazem em seu bojo também a formação profissional. Nesse cenário, o Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo, Campus Colatina, iniciou estudos acerca da elaboração do currículo integrado na educação profissional técnica e tecnológica, baseado na educação em Ciência, Tecnologia, Sociedade e Ambiente (CTSA), para a apropriação de conhecimentos que possam auxiliar uma nova proposta curricular. Sobre esse movimento, o objetivo deste artigo é propor estratégias formativas que possam subsidiar ações fundamentadas pela educação CTSA, visando à construção de um currículo Integrado na Educação Profissional Técnica Integrada ao Ensino Médio por meio de uma pesquisa Design-Based Research (DBR), segundo Herrington e colaboradores, para unir um projeto teoricamente consistente com as necessidades e validações locais de uma comunidade de aprendizagem. A proposta permitiu identificar que a estratégia integrada posiciona os alunos como responsáveis pelas decisões a serem tomadas na aquisição de conhecimentos, recorrendo a valores de relevância coletiva, como empatia, solidariedade, compromisso social e fraternidade.

ESTUDO DO COMPORTAMENTO DA ESCÓRIA DE ACIARIA TIPO LD EM BASE DE PAVIMENTOS URBANOS
Authors: Boldrini Bruna , Feu Rosa Pacheco Ronaldo
Published: November 2022

Uma das principais dificuldades encontradas pelas indústrias atualmente refere-se à destinação dos resíduos. As indústrias siderúrgicas fomentam e demonstram grande esforço para encontrar alternativas de reutilização. A escória de aciaria tipo LD (Linz Donawitz), subproduto proveniente da produção do aço, possui características mecânicas semelhantes aos materiais naturais utilizados na indústria de pavimentação, porém alguns estudos apresentam como fator limitante ao seu uso, seu alto teor de expansão. As escórias de aciaria possuem grande potencial de aplicação, por exemplo, como corretivo do solo, em lastro de ferrovias, no tratamento de águas ácidas e na indústria cimenteira. Com esta pesquisa, pretende-se dar ênfase a uma destinação de resíduos industriais na execução de obras de engenharia de terraplanagem, para substituição de materiais naturais. A escória de aciaria tipo LD utilizada neste trabalho é um coproduto denominado REVSOL, desenvolvido pela empresa ArcelorMittal, que será caracterizado física e quimicamente. Este trabalho procura analisar o desempenho físico-mecânico de misturas de solo-escória de aciaria. A primeira etapa compreendeu a caracterização física do REVSOL, do solo e da mistura solo-REVSOL, e análise química do REVSOL. Na segunda etapa, realizaram-se ensaios de Índice de Suporte Califórnia (ISC) do solo e da mistura solo-REVSOL, e expansão da mistura pelo método PTM 130/78 (Pennsylvania Testing Method, USA), objetivando comparar os resultados obtidos com as exigências das normas do Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes (DNIT) de execução de bases granulares para pavimentos flexíveis. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que as misturas solo-REVSOL têm viabilidade de uso na execução de base para pavimentos.

Marketers are compelled to come up with innovative ways to meet customer expectations while maximizing their available resources. In order to do this, marketers are using artificial intelligence and machine learning and especially deep learning. This research conducts an analysis by using bibliometric methods, at deep learning literatures in marketing. Using a bibliometric approach, 235 articles published in 2017–2022 were collected from journals indexed in the Scopus database. Multiple software (R studio, Excel, and Biblioshiny) were employed to analyse the data. The occurrence of publications were determined by year, publication source information and authors, journals, countries, institutions, thematic maps, and current trends of topics, clear, and reliable as a result of this technique. At the end of the report, the findings and a strategy for future study are summarised and discussed. In marketing research, there is a growing interest in deep learning. This article is both instructive and supplementary, since it covers the majority of marketing's fundamentals.
