Development of Protocols for Reuse Assessment of Existing Foundations in Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement Projects
Authors: Lim Jeehee , Salgado Rodrigo , Prezzi Monica , Wang Yao , Han Fei
Published: February 2024

The existing foundations of a bridge can sometimes be reused. This may occur when a completely new bridge is built but also in bridge or superstructure widening projects. Reuse of existing foundations not only eliminates the costs associated with demolishing and disposing of old foundations, but also reduces the costs of the design and construction of new foundation elements. However, several challenges exist, including assessing the structural integrity, estimating the current capacity, estimating the remaining service life, and considering current design codes and specifications of the existing foundations, and clear guidelines for foundation reuse. The absence of foundation reuse guidelines by INDOT hinders the reuse of bridge foundations and prevents design consultants from designing new structures using existing foundations. In this project, comprehensive foundation reuse guidelines were developed in the form of flow charts based on a literature review on bridge foundation reuse design—including technical publications and existing standards and codes—and a set of analyses. The proposed guidelines include detailed guidance on inspection of the structural integrity of existing foundations, determination of as-built geometry of existing foundations, capacity estimation of existing foundations, minimum requirements for foundation reuse, and selection of foundation reuse solutions. The proposed guidelines for foundation reuse design were tested in an ongoing INDOT project. From the implementation project, we found that a complete site investigation that produces reliable estimation of soil profile and properties, is essential to determine whether there is reserve capacity in existing foundations. Additional site investigation is generally worth doing, not only to account for any strengthening of the soil that may have occurred over time, but also because of the greater accuracy in interpretation and analysis that results. We also found that use of the most current, cutting-edge methods can be useful in estimating the reserve capacity of existing foundations, and that design checks using different design codes can produce contrasting results.

Aim:
This observational study investigated the association between remdesivir treatment during hospitalization for COVID-19 and 30-day COVID-19-related and all-cause readmission across different variants time periods.
Patients & methods:
Hospitalization records for adult patients discharged from a COVID-19 hospitalization between 1 May 2020 to 30 April 2022 were extracted from the US PINC AI Healthcare Database. Likelihood of 30-day readmission was compared among remdesivir-treated and nonremdesivir-treated patients using multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for age, corticosteroid treatment, Charlson comorbidity index and intensive care unit stay during the COVID-19 hospitalization. Analyses were stratified by maximum supplemental oxygen requirement and variant time period (pre-Delta, Delta and Omicron).
Results:
Of the 440,601 patients discharged alive after a COVID-19 hospitalization, 248,785 (56.5%) patients received remdesivir. Overall, remdesivir patients had a 30-day COVID-19-related readmission rate of 3.0% and all-cause readmission rate of 6.3% compared with 5.4% and 9.1%, respectively, for patients who did not receive remdesivir during their COVID-19 hospitalization. After adjusting for demographics and clinical characteristics, remdesivir treatment was associated with significantly lower odds of 30-day COVID-19-related readmission (odds ratio 0.60 [95% confidence interval: 0.58–0.62]), and all-cause readmission (0.73 [0.72–0.75]). Significantly lower odds of 30-day readmission in remdesivir-treated patients was observed across all variant time periods.
Conclusion:
Treating patients hospitalized for COVID-19 with remdesivir is associated with a statistically significant reduction in 30-day COVID-19-related and all-cause readmission across variant time periods. These findings indicate that the clinical benefit of remdesivir may extend beyond the COVID-19 hospitalization.

Ancient Rome on the Silver Screen
Authors: Aldrete Gregory S. , Sumner Graham
Published: February 2024

An unparalleled exploration of films set in Ancient Rome, from the silent Cleopatra to the modern rendition of Ben-Hur.

No sooner had the dazzling new technology of cinema been invented near the end of the 19th century than filmmakers immediately turned to ancient history for inspiration. Nero, Cleopatra, Caesar, and more all found their way to the silver screen and would return again and again in the decades that followed. But just how accurate were these depictions of Ancient Rome?

In Ancient Rome on the Silver Screen: Myth versus Reality, Gregory S. Aldrete and Graham Sumner provide a fascinating examination of 50 films set in Ancient Rome, analyzing each for its historical accuracy of plot, characters, costumes and sets. They also divulge insights into the process of making each movie and the challenges the filmmakers faced in bringing the Roman world to vivid cinematic life. Beginning with the classics from the dawn of cinema, through the great golden age of sword-and-sandals flicks in the 1950s, to the dramatic epics of the modern day, Aldrete and Sumner test the authenticity of Hollywood’s version of history.

Featuring remarkable custom-made paintings depicting characters as they appeared in film and how they should have appeared if they were historically correct, Ancient Rome on the Silver Screen delivers an invaluable perspective of film and history. This unique collaboration between professional illustrator and award-winning Roman historian offers a deeper understanding of modern cinema and brings Roman history to life.
Homelessness in America
Authors: Eide Stephen
Published: February 2024

The last thirty years have witnessed an urban renaissance in America. Major cities have managed to drive down the murder rate, improve the schools, restore the built environment, and revitalize their economies. Middle class families are putting down roots in neighborhoods once given up for dead. But solutions to homelessness have eluded even the most successful cities. While the South Bronx was once synonymous across the globe for “slum,” now, San Francisco and Los Angeles are just as internationally notorious for their homelessness crises. Indeed, the same cities with the worst homelessness crises rank among America’s most successful. One of the crisis’ more perplexing features is how cities that have met with so much success with respect to economic development, crime and public education have failed to even ease their homelessness crisis, much less end it.

In Homelessness in America, Stephen Eide examines the history, governmental and private responses, and future prospects of this intractable challenge. The “chronic” nature of the challenge should be understood, he argues, by reference to American history and American ideals. The history of homelessness is bound up with industrialization and urbanization, the closing of the West, the Great Depression, and the post WWII decline and subsequent revival of great American cities. Though we’ve used different terms (“tramp” “hobo” “bum”) at other times, something like homelessness has always been with us and the debate over causes and solutions has always involved conflicts over fundamental values. After explaining why homelessness persists in America and correcting popular misconceptions about the issue, Eide offers concrete recommendations for how we can do better for the homeless population.

Homelessness in America engages readers by answering the most common questions their audience brings to the topic and exploring other questions that are no less important for being not as commonly asked. Homelessness intersects with multiple other policy areas: education, urban development, criminal justice reform, mental health. By exploring the intersection of homelessness with so many other policy areas, this book aspires to provide a comprehensive account of the challenge.

The Future of National Intelligence
Authors: Hershkovitz Shay
Published: February 2024

National intelligence agencies have long adjusted to the opportunities and threats from new technologies, and have created structures, concepts, and practices to best apply new capabilities. But such recent technological developments as artificial intelligence are different in kind. Increasingly affordable to nongovernmental actors, they are powerful enough to overwhelm and marginalize much of what agencies do. In The Future of National Intelligence: How Emerging Technologies Reshape Intelligence Communities, Shay Hershkovitz argues that only with a new paradigm can these agencies take up this fundamentally new technological challenge.
Influenced
Authors: Wachler Brian Boxer
Published: February 2024

“This engaging, eye-opening book covers everything anyone would ever want to know about social media influencers." —Booklist, Starred Review

Unpacks and pulls the curtain back on what happens to our brains and our behaviors each time we addictively engage social media and the influencers we encounter there.

Individuals seeking to widen their tribes of friends, fans, and followers have an abundance of resources for building their digital footprints and social media popularity. All of this seems well and good from the perspective of revenue, exposure, and perhaps ego-building, but what is the impact of this on the human brain and our behavior? Is anyone paying attention to the lurking side effects of the social media influencer revolution?

As “Dr. Brian” Boxer Wachler—one of the world’s most esteemed authorities on human perception—reveals in Influenced: The Impact of Social Media on Our Perception, we are oblivious to the mental evolution that is already in process. Science is proving that our addictive reliance upon social media and its influencers is having a demonstrable impact on how we think, feel, and perceive everything around us— and even how we react to stimuli. One might think that a “Like” is nothing more than a split-second tap on a device. However, brain scans tell a different story. Our brains literally light up with every buzz, ding, alert, and ring in anticipation of how our network is responding to us. As we tap away at our devices, we anxiously seek the approval of others—often people we don’t know.

Influenced unpacks what happens to our brains and our behaviors each time we click “Like” follow an influencer; consume a video; share or reshare an article; post or repost a photograph; write a comment; pile on a trend; just scroll for new content; and why do we keep coming back for more. Dr. Boxer Wachler includes his own social and medical findings and highlights them with interviews with top influencers, the latest studies, and pop-culture anecdotes.
Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria vulgaris) Shell as a Natural, Biodegradable, Highly Available, Cheap, Agricultural by-Product, Miscellaneous Biomass, Ion Exchanger, Biosorbent and Fertilizer

The increased interest in natural, renewable, biodegradable, easily available, low-cost materials makes agricultural residues, such as lignocellulosic biomass, attractive raw materials for the preparation of effective biosorbents for various pollutants (metal ions, anions, dyes, pharmaceutical degradation products, metabolites, organic macromolecules) for the wastewater treatment. Various covalent and non-covalent modification approaches significantly improve the sorption properties of these lignocellulosic functional particles, even improving their dispersion in hydrophobic polymer matrices, associative properties in water, rheological properties, surface-active properties, which can control the sorption of various ionic pollutants both in batch and in flow mode. Advantages over commercial sorbents (techno-economic aspect, no secondary pollution, usability as fertilizers), easy separation from the sorption medium, microstructural properties (strength, porosity, interactivity, stability), as a promising and sustainable biosorbent highlight the environmentally friendly bottle gourd shell. On the example of this biosorbent, the conventional approach to the pollutant sorption process (comparative kinetic, thermodynamic and equilibrium tests) was improved, as well as its shortcomings in predicting optimal process parameters. To fill the gaps of the already unnecessary numerous experiments, a design study involving OVAT experimental approaches integrated with DoE methodology was conducted. This integrated experimental design was implemented in the optimization of the pollutant sorption process.
Street Trading Uncovered: A Comprehensive Evaluation of Occupational Risk and Management Strategies in the South African Urban Marketplace
Authors: Mercy Sepadi Maasago , Cleopatra Phama Lebogang
Published: February 2024

Street vending is a prevalent form of informal employment in South Africa, with both positive and negative impacts on workers’ well-being and safety. Negative effects include psychological, respiratory, and musculoskeletal disorders. This chapter addresses health and safety concerns faced by street vendors in the informal trading sector using a systematic and scientific approach. Street vendors face unique challenges, such as navigating busy streets and dealing with extreme weather conditions. With changing climate and environmental factors, it is crucial to assess and manage these risks effectively. By conducting thorough risk assessments, potential hazards can be identified and strategies can be developed to mitigate them. Informal street trading is essential for urban economic growth and poverty alleviation. However, many businesses conducted by street vendors do not comply with workplace health and safety requirements, leading to high hazards and risks. Therefore, occupational safety and personal health risks faced by street vendors are crucial and require regulation of health and safety standards in the street trading industry.
Ubiquitin: Structure and Function
Authors: T. Dongdem Julius , P. Dawson Simon , Layfield Robert
Published: February 2024

Ubiquitin is a small (8.6 kDa) protein that is found ‘ubiquitously’ in eukaryotic organisms and functions as a regulator of numerous cellular processes. It is a multifaceted post-translational modifier of other proteins involved in almost all eukaryotic biology. Once bound to a substrate, ubiquitin initiates a plethora of distinct signals with unique cellular outcomes known as the ‘ubiquitin code’. More recently, much progress has been made in characterising the roles of distinct ubiquitin modifications though it is anticipated that more is yet to be unravelled as several questions remain elusive. The major aim of this chapter is to comprehensively review in detail using published data, the current understanding of the physico-chemical properties and structure (primary, secondary and tertiary) of ubiquitin, outlining current understanding of ubiquitin signal regulatory functions (Ubiquitin Proteasome System) and ubiquitin combinations, with emphasis on the structural relation to its function. Synthesis of ubiquitin (genes) will be illustrated. Additionally, ubiquitin-mediated processes and various possible covalent modifications of ubiquitin and their known functions will be illustrated. Deubiquitinase-dependent deubiquitylation of the ubiquitin code will also be described. Finally, ubiquitin-binding proteins and their ubiquitin-binding domains, the consequences of post-translational modification of ubiquitin by phosphorylation and future prospects will be discussed.

Published: February 2024

In recent years, blended teaching formats have become increasingly important in higher education. Designing effective blended education is challenging and requires a profound knowledge of digital tools and technologies, as well as the didactical proficiency to deploy them effectively and efficiently within the learning environment. However, little is known about didactical design principles to support teachers in creating an effective blended design. This chapter reports on the combined results of two independently conducted extensive literature reviews that investigated (a) didactical strategies, methods, and techniques concerning online education in the existing empirical research on higher education, and (b) the effects of different blended teaching formats, compared to face-to-face education, on learning outcomes and/or psychosocial outcomes in higher education students. It was found that blended education can enhance student achievement and psychosocial well-being, yet that the instructional approach plays a crucial role. Combining the insights of both studies has subsequently led to a series of evidence-informed recommendations to design effective blended education with a view to the broad development of students. Readers will be provided with practical guidance on how to implement these design principles in educational practice.
Use of RGB Images in Field Conditions to Evaluate the Quality of Pastures in Farms in Antioquia: A Methodology
Authors: Parilli-Ocampo Valentina , Ortega Monsalve Manuela , Cerón-Muñoz Mario , Galeano-Vasco Luis , Medina-Sierra Marisol
Published: February 2024

The use of RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) images is a useful technique considered in the prediction of diseases, moisture content, height, and nutritional composition of different crops of productive interest. It is important to adopt a methodology in the field that allows the acquisition of images without losing the quality of the information in the RGB bands since the prediction and adjustment of the grass quality parameters depend on it. Currently, there are few studies and methodologies that support the validity of the use of RGB images in the field, since there are many environmental factors that can distort the information collected. For this study, a field methodology was established where RGB images were captured using the unmanned aerial vehicle drone, DJI Phantom 4 Pro. A total of 270 images of grass crops for animal feed were taken on 15 farms in Antioquia. The images were pre-processed using the programming language Python, where a region of interest for each image was chosen and the average RGB values were extracted. Different indices were created with the RGB bands and based on them; several models were used for the nutritional variables of the pasture, managing to find suitable equations for acid detergent fiber, crude protein, and moisture.

Rereading Nietzsche with Philosophical Hermeneutics
Authors: Myers Christopher R. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2024

In this article I examine Nietzsche’s commentaries on the discipline of classical philology in relation to twentieth century philosophical hermeneutics. I argue that Nietzsche frequently made use of the concept of “life” to reflect ‘meta-critically’ on philology and nineteenth century hermeneutics, and that this use is much better represented by Heidegger and Gadamer than representatives of the standard Lebensphilosophie reading. Whereas the standard life-philosophical reading suggests that Nietzsche viewed the activity of interpretation as a mere symptom of biological, psychological life, the hermeneutic reading suggests that Nietzsche uses the concept of “life” to refer to the effective reality of interpretation, i.e., the “hermeneutic situation.” By this reading, Nietzsche’s interest in “life” is in fact an interest in deciphering the meaning content behind our own interpretations, and thus implies a commitment to interpretive pluralism—an interpretive pluralism which Nietzsche recognized as being essentially ontological in character.

Education and Socialization Of Pre Screening Developmental Questionnaire For Early Detection Of Child Development
Authors: Herawati Yanti , Herlina Lina , Arini Wike
Published: February 2024

A preliminary research at PMB Bidan Wike A in June 2023 revealed the developmental outcomes of toddlers using the Pre-Screening Development Questionnaire (KPSP). Out of 189 toddlers, 77.8% exhibited typical development, 21% had questionable development, and 1.2% displayed developmental deviations. Many mothers lacked knowledge about the care and examination procedures related to the pre-screening developmental questionnaire. This community service aims to provide mothers with knowledge about child growth and development while introducing the Pre-Screening Development Questionnaire instrument. This community service utilizes counseling and socialization methods for mothers with toddlers. Participants will undergo both pretest and posttest assessments. This initiative employs the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire instrument and self-evaluation notes. In the initial stage, the counselor will engage in a question-and-answer session, followed by assessing the mother's comprehension using the feedback method. Subsequently, it proceeds with discussions or brainstorming sessions. The outcomes of the community service revealed that following counseling and the socialization of KPSP to mothers of toddlers, their knowledge increased by 93%. Early and regular screening is of utmost importance to prevent developmental deviations in toddlers, allowing for prompt treatment of any deviations that may arise. Growth screening enables the assessment of children's nutritional status, while developmental screening for children under five can be conducted using the KPSP (Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire) method. Keywords: growth screening, nutritional status, developmental screening, KPSP method.

The Relationship Between Animal Protein Consumption Patterns and the Incidence of Anemia in Adolescent Girls at MTS Darul Hidayah Sriminosari, East Lampung
Authors: Junita Dera Elva , Kristiana Betty Leli , Wati Desti Ambar , Pratiwi Amali Rica , Mulyono Andi
Published: February 2024

MTs Darul Hidayah is one of 7 schools whose teenage girls experience anemia at the highest rate of 70% in the Labuhan Maringgai Community Health Center Nutrition Program. The condition of iron nutritional anemia is caused by several interrelated factors, including the insufficient amount of iron in food due to low consumption of animal protein sources. Therefore, research was conducted which aimed to analyze the relationship between animal protein consumption patterns and the incidence of anemia in young women at MTs Darul Hidayah. The type of research is quantitative with an analytical survey method using a cross sectional design approach. The research was carried out in December 2022 at MTs Darul Hidayah.
