Across-sectional study was conducted in Hawasssa town, the capital city of Southern Nations and Nationalities People Regional state; to estimate the prevalence of work related wound and associated risk factors in working equines. The study animals were selected randomly. A total of 309 equines were included in the study comprising 164 (53.1%) of donkey, 95(30.74%) of horses, and 50(16.18%) of mules. The risk factors sex, age, body condition scores, purpose of the animals were assessed through questionnaire survey and physical clinical examination of animals. The study shows that an overall prevalence of external injuries in working equines was 84.1%. The prevalence of external injuries by the species was 25.89%, 45.95% and 12.3% for horse, donkey and mule respectively. Statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in the occurrence of external injuries was noted among working equines of different sex groups, different functions, and different causes. Higher prevalence of external injuries was recorded in male animals (79.93%) than female (4.6%). Moreover, the occurrence of external injuries was higher in equines used for cart pool (40.77%) than those used for fetching of water (14.28%). In addition to this the distribution rate of external injuries between animals of different body condition showed that the highest rate was recorded in animals with medium body condition (31.39%) followed by those with good condition (27.18%).The major causes of external injury was inappropriate use of harness materials (33.7%) followed by over load and falling (12.3%). The prevalence of distribution of wounds on various body parts, was (23.46%) on the back which was relatively highest than shoulder, multiple body parts and wither which represent 11.5%, 10.77% and 8.1% respectively. The occurrence of external injuries in horses were 18.75% multiple wounds, 17.5% on the back and 15% on the shoulder while 23.24% on the back, 9.86 on wither and 8.45% multiple wounds, were found in donkeys. The occurrence of 36.86% of external injuries in the back of mule was observed in the study which was higher than other parts of the body. The study showed that working equine owners practice different approaches (70.4%) to manage wounds while 29.6% owners left their animals without any follow up. Hence, greater proportion of the owners (40%) have taken their animals to nearby health centers, while treated with medicine purchased from local markets 11.5% and 9.6% with medical plants.

Tumour calcinosis is a rare disorder of phosphate metabolism. Familial tumour calcinosis is caused due to gene mutations affecting the activity of FGF23, a phosphoturic hormone. The presentation is hyperphosphatemia and calcified deposits in the periarticular regions. Surgery though being the mainstay of treatment, recurrence is often common without additional treatment. Phosphate restricted diet and phosphate binder before and after surgery would be beneficial. We present two cases of tumour calcinosis with hyperphosphatemia and calcified deposits, evaluated and followed up. We discuss various treatment options available for this rare condition
ETİK İKLİMİN SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK UYGULAMALARINA ETKİSİNDE KURUM İTİBARININ ROLÜNÜN YÖNETİCİ VE KURUM ÖZELLİKLERİ BAKIMINDAN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Published: June 2022

Etik iklim, bir işletmedeki tutumların, davranışların, kuralların ve etik kodların oluşturduğu paydaşlarca algılanan kurumsal ortamdır. Bu ortam, kurumların kendi kadar paydaşlarını, bugün kadar gelecek nesilleri de düşünmesini ifade eden “sürdürülebilirlik” anlayışını ve kurumun faaliyetlerinin insanlar üzerindeki izlenimi olan “kurumsal itibarı” etkilemektedir. Kurumun sahip olduğu etik iklim, sürdürülebilirlik yaklaşımı ve itibar, kurumları benzerlerinden farklı kılan, özgün temel kaynaklarındandır. Bu farklılığı ortaya koyan öncelikli olarak yöneticiler ve kurumlardır. Konulara kurumların bakış açısı ve yöneticilerin yaklaşımı kurumsal başarı için son derece önemlidir. Konular hakkında ortaya konan bu önemin ve yaklaşımın yönetici ve kurumların özellikleri ile etkileşimde olup olmadığı sorusuna cevap arandığı ve alan yazında benzer çalışmalar bulunmadığı için bu araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir.Çalışma, kurumlar açısından büyük öneme sahip bu üç yaklaşımın arasındaki etkileşimi yönetici ve kurum özellikleri açısından analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, başarısı Türkiye’nin bağımsız araştırma firmalarınca tescil edilmiş kurumlarındaki 448 yöneticiyle, anket yöntemi kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Yaklaşımlar arası etkileşimler, demografik ve kurumsal özelliklerle ilgili verilerle, Yapısal Eşitlik Modelinde yer alan çoklu grup analizi (Multi Group Analysis) yöntemiyle test edilmiştir. Yöneticilerin görüşlerine göre yapılandırılan araştırma sonucunda, yönetici ve kurum özelliklerinin, üç değişkenin birbirleri ile etkileşiminde anlamlı ve pozitif bir etkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Söz konusu özelliklere göre sonuçların farklılık göstermediği de tespit edilmiştir. Bu da tüm kurumlar tarafından, yönetici ve kurum özelliklerinden bağımsız bir şekilde, bu konulara önem verilmesi ve uygulanması gerektiğini göstermektedir.

Refugees, Self-Reliance, Development
Authors: Easton-Calabria Evan
Published: June 2022

Evan Easton-Calabria’s critical history of refugee self-reliance assistance brings new dimensions to refugee and international development studies. The promotion of refugee self-reliance is evident today, yet its history remains largely unexplored, with good practices and longstanding issues often missed. Through archival and contemporary evidence, this book documents a century of little-known efforts to foster refugee self-reliance, including the economic, political, and social motives driving this assistance. With five case studies from Greece, Tanzania, Pakistan, Uganda, and Egypt, the book tracks refugee self-reliance as a malleable concept used to pursue ulterior interests. It reshapes understandings of refugee self-reliance and delivers important messages for contemporary policy making.

Published: June 2022

Image recognition includes the segmentation of image boundary geometrical features extraction and classification is used in the particular image database development. The ultimate challenge in this task is it is computationally expensive. This paper highlighted a CPU GPU architecture for image segmentation and features extraction processes of 125 images of Malaysian Herb Leaves. Two GPUs and three kernels are utilized in the CPU GPU platform using MATLAB software. Each of herb image has pixel dimensions 16161080. The segmentation process uses the Sobel operator which is then used to extract the boundary points. Finally seven geometrical features are extracted for each image. Both processes are first executed on the CPU alone before bringing it onto a CPU GPU platform to accelerate the computational performance. The results show that the developed CPU GPU platform has accelerated the computation process by a factor of 4.13. However the efficiency shows a decline which suggests that the processors utilization must be improved in the future to balance the load distribution.
Tissue Engineering of Articular Cartilage
Authors: Abu Lail Nehal
Published: June 2022

Articular cartilage (AC) is the tissue that wraps moving joints in the body. As a tissue, it provides lubrication as well as load bearing in some joints. The tissue is subject to harsh chemical and mechanical environments in vivo and is characterized by being devoid of blood, nerve and lymph nodes. Upon injury, the tissue is incapable of healing. Damaged AC tissues mark the global disease of osteoarthritis (OA). As a pandemic, OA is prevalent worldwide and is ranked first for which patients seek treatments. Unfortunately, the disease has no current disease modifying drugs and it is only managed for symptomatic relief using pain killers, physical therapy and surgical procedures. In search for less invasive treatments, tissue engineering has been sought to provide the alternative. Tissue engineering refers to creation of eventually personalized tissues that can be used to replace damaged tissues in vitro. As an approach, it relies on seeding cells on scaffolds and incorporating the two in bioreactors that mimic the joint environment. Cells are then fed a medium with growth factors in it for a period of time until they form tissues. The tissues are then characterized to check if they represent the native tissue in structure and function. If not, the parameters used to engineer the tissue are revisited and the loop is repeated again. Here, tissue engineering of AC will be introduced. After that, the four pillars of tissue engineering (cells, scaffolds, growth factors, and bioreactors) will be discussed with questions that remain to be addressed. A section that discusses how engineered tissues are characterized will follow. Finally, the review ends with a summary of where the field is heading to realized quality AC tissues. This review is not meant to be comprehensive of existing literature.

Published: June 2022

The concept of gene therapy is to fix a genetic problem at its source by repairing defective genetic material. Dendrimers proved to be an effective carrier vectors for gene therapy that efficiently compact and protect DNA from degradation by serum nucleases in the blood when injected intravenously. The complexation between Poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimer and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been studied using the penetrable sphere model describing the interaction between linear polyelectrolyte (LPE) chain and ion penetrable sphere (Porous sphere) representing the dendrimer. It was found that the wrapping degree of LPE around the dendrimer is increased by increasing the LPE length, and the Bjerrum length which represents the strength of the electrostatic interaction and is decreased by increasing the pH of the solution. As a result, the linker, represents the unwrapped part of the LPE chain, is decreased by increasing the Bjerrum length and increased by increasing the pH

A botanic garden is a common institution holding documented collections of well-tended living plants for the purposes of scientific research, conservation, display and education (Botanic Gardens Conservation International, BGCI). Moreover, the botanic garden is a natural place for enjoyment, exhibition of both live and dry specimens and eco-tourism under full management by experts and skilled staff. The botanic gardens are distinguished from public parks in many approaches including: plants are grown for public show in parks, whereas botanic ones are designed in landscaped sites. The type of activities in both involve public but botanical gardens host more organized, scientific and cultural events Although botanic gardens establishment goes to old history of Greek, Romans, Arab and Moslem civilizations, but recent history in the last century has led to more developed and well managed botanical gardens.

Published: June 2022

The aerodynamic coefficients and flow surrounding a canard missile design were predicted using viscous computational fluid dynamics simulation. The computations were performed at speeds between 1.5 and 3.0. High-speed flight is possible with canard deflection angles of 0 to 10 degrees, as well as planar and grid tail fins. The estimated aerodynamic coefficients were found to be astonishingly close to those obtained in the wind tunnel once data from the wind tunnel was analysed.

It is possible that the flow visualisations produced by this work could lead to a better understanding of flow physics and the development of superior canard and tail fin designs for missiles and rockets among other things. Planar fins have a negative roll impact because of the pressure difference between the lowered fin and the canard trailing vortices. Grid tail fins improved the canards' ability to roll at low supersonic speeds by increasing their rolling efficiency.

A drone that is not manned Automated vehicles are rational admirers of the latest planes, and they're always looking for ways to improve. Wartime and re-exploration capabilities are the primary emphases of the current generation of UAVs, leaving the existing market impacted by UAV technology unaffected. UAV technology has a wide range of current uses, ranging from emergency response to media to agriculture to communications experts. However, the adaptable unmanned aerial vehicle is not yet available to the general public. As a result, a UAV that can carry a wide range of flexible tools should be light and lightweight. In commercial applications, UAV technological ideas and adaptable components may be a strong instrument, and they can help define the future of aviation. It is possible to categorize "drones" depending on their "applications," such as photography, aerial mapping, surveillance, and so on. However, the easiest way to classify 'Drones' is to use aerial platforms. Drones may be classified into four broad categories based on the sort of airborne platform they employ.

As the need for missiles and rockets has increased exponentially, the challenges associated with the gas dynamics of these vehicles continues to be a concern. The pressure in the downstream is sub atmospheric whenever there is a sudden expansion. This low pressure in the recirculation zone causes significant drag, accounting for almost two-thirds of the net drag of the aerospace vehicles. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to deliver a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis of the impact geometry and flow parameters have on the thrust force generated by the flow from convergent divergent nozzles to a suddenly expanded circular duct with a wider cross-sectional area. By observing all of the results, it is possible to conclude that the flow field in an enlarged duct is greatly influenced by the area ratio.

Published: June 2022

As a result of advancements in armament technology, traditional conceptions of battle are going through a profound transformation. The use of technology as a force multiplier is extremely prevalent in modern combat. In the modern battlefield, autonomous weapons are absolutely necessary. In this day and age, the presence of missiles is almost always indicative of a country's level of military power. The employment of guided weapons is an unavoidable need in the arsenals of modern militaries. The study will primarily concentrate on several types of weapons, ranging in range from extremely short to medium, long, and automated. This study analyses a wide variety of missiles and classifies them according to the criteria that distinguish them, including the type of missile, its target, its range, how it is launched, and whether or not it has an autopilot guiding system (APG).
Performance of Glass to Iron-based Shape Memory Alloy Adhesive Shear Joints with Different Geometry

Published: June 2022

Previous research has shown that glass beams with external, mechanical post-tensioning along their edges show better structural performance than glass beams without any such reinforcement. The initial and post-fracture load-bearing capacity of glass beams can be increased by reinforcing them with stainless steel or fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) tendons that are post-tensioned and connected to the beam edges. However, post-tensioning of stainless steel or FRP bars or strips is complex and challenging because it often requires special setups, such as hydraulic jacks. Iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) are promising post-tensioning materials due to their efficient activation procedure and good mechanical properties. The target prestress level can be introduced by heating the Fe-SMA to a specific temperature followed by cooling down naturally to ambient temperature. As a contribution to assessing the feasibility of strengthening glass elements with adhesively bonded Fe-SMA strips, this paper focuses on the bond behavior of glass-to-Fe-SMA lap-shear joints based on numerical investigations. A finite element model is developed to evaluate the effect of adhesive thickness, Fe-SMA strip thickness and bond length on the structural behavior of glass to Fe-SMA lap-shear joints.
Coatings Sensitivity to the Quench Marks
Authors: Maccariello Davide , Hivet Romain
Published: June 2022

During tempering process, the non-homogenous heating or rapid cooling can induce localized strain in the glass leading to birefringence (or optical anisotropy) phenomenon, a result of the photoelastic effect. Since transmission and reflection coefficients of interfaces at high angles can be quite different with the polarization, inhomogeneous birefringence may manifest as peculiar geometric patterns of bright or darkish shadows or iridescence effects in given polarized observation conditions. The patterns appearance may be at the origin of dispute between the client and the glass manufacturer. Each party may have a different perception, how strong the anisotropies are and what is permissible. With the use of an in-line scanner for the optical retardation, it is possible to control and optimise the tempering process homogeneity and thus reduce the visibility of the patterns. However, the presence of low emissivity coatings on the façades windows can alter the visibility of the quench marks: depending on the coating nature, the quench pattern visibility can be magnified or reduced. Here, we show the calculation of σQM, as a parameter representing the coating sensitivity to quench marks, i.e., the capability of a coating to reveal or hinder the iridescence pattern of tempered glass. Thanks to the angular measurements of the transmission and reflection in s and p polarization we compute the quench mark sensitivity by estimating a color contrast gradient with regard to the phase delay.

Published: June 2022

This research revolves around the design, fabrication and testing of tubular glass columns, with particular focus on their redundancy and fire-safety mechanisms; moreover, addressing aspects such as: the column shape; cleaning and maintenance; end connections; geometric tolerances in the glass and demountability. Two alternative circular hollow (tube) column designs are initially developed and engineered to address these aspects, namely: the MLA (Multi Layered with Air) and the SLW (Single Layered with water). In both concepts the main load-bearing structure consists of two concentric laminated glass tubes. Thus, in order to explore the manufacturing challenges and structural potential of these concepts, the prototyping and experimental work focuses on six 300 mm long samples with 115 mm outer diameter that are laminated and fitted into customized, engineered steel end-connections. Particular attention in terms of manufacturing is paid to the lamination process and associated bubble formation, the possible fracture of the glass by internal resin-curing stresses and the interface between the glass tube and the steel end-connections. All samples are laminated with Ködistruct LG 2-PU component. Three samples are assembled using DURAN® (annealed) glass and the other three are using DURATAN® (heat-strengthened) glass. Subsequently, the six samples are tested in compression until failure to investigate the behaviour of the interlayer material, the post-fracture behaviour of the designs, the differences between annealed and heat-strengthened samples, the capacity of the glass tubes and the performance of the end connections. Initial cracks appeared between 95-160 kN (compression strength of 30-50 MPa) in the DURAN® samples and between 120-160 kN (compression strength of 37-50 MPa) in the DURATAN® samples. These loads are lower than the ones estimated by calculations; in specific, the first cracks occurred at 34-64% of the calculated load. Nevertheless, the samples are found to be robust, with a considerable load-bearing capacity beyond the first cracks, leading to a maximum nominal compression strength capacity of up to 152 MPa for the DURATAN® samples and up to 233 MPa for the DURAN® samples.
