Abortion Opt-in Experience in Third-Year Clerkship
Authors: Martinez Rebeca C. , Bonnin Rodolfo , Feld Zoe , Minor Suzanne
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Despite the public health imperative that all medical practitioners serving reproductive-aged women know the components of abortion care and attain competency in nondirective pregnancy options counseling, exposure to abortion care in US medical school education remains significantly limited. 
Methods: Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine offers an opt-in clinical exposure to abortion care during the obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. During clerkship orientation, students watched a recorded presentation reviewing components of abortion care and emphasizing that participating students may increase or decrease involvement at any time without explanation. Students opting in completed a form specifying their desired level of involvement for each component as “yes,” “no,” or “not sure.”  
Results: Of 350 clerkship students over 23 6-week rotations, 98 (28%) chose to opt in, with opt-in form data available for 90 students. Ninety students chose to observe counseling for first- and second-trimester surgical abortion and medical abortion. Seven students used the option “no” for history taking and examine second trimester fetal parts. Twenty-four students marked “not sure” for participating in evacuation of first-trimester pregnancy.
Discussion: This educational intervention proved feasible and offers an opportunity for students to have experiential learning about abortion care in an inclusive, respectful manner. This experience may be incorporated into undergraduate and graduate medical education. Providing learners the opportunity for exposure to abortion care improves their overall medical education and will impact the care they provide as future clinicians.
FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY IN THE CATHOLIC WORLD: MATERIALS
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Corbella Caterina
Published: October 2021

The chapter presents different sections addressing the reception of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s work by Catholic thinkers in 20th and 21st centuries (Romano Guardini, Divo Barsotti, Luigi Giussani, partly Henri De Lubac). The aim of the work is not only to present some “Catholic” interpretations of Dostoevsky’s novels but, most particularly, to analyze them as a vivid dialogue that leads to the question of the interaction between literature and theology and offers an example of the capacity of Dostoevsky’s text to witness and pass on an experience of faith. To Catholic authors, the relationship of Dostoevsky with Christ appears to be the most interesting yet most elusive factor in the work of the Russian writer and it is highlighted as one of the most intriguing questions for further research.
Abkhazia under the pen of Fjodor Tornau
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Avidzba Regina L.
Published: October 2021

For the first time, regarding the pages of Fjodor Tornau’s “Memories of a Caucasian Officer” dedicated to Abkhazia, scientific criticism of the text was undertaken, typos and mistakes made in the first edition and repeated in all subsequent ones were revealed. The writer’s artistic talent determined Fjodor Tornau’s contribution to the development of the Caucasian theme, one of the constant in Russian literature of the 19th century. The Abkhazian pages of “Memories...” vividly recreate the national life of the mountaineers, far from European civilisation, in all the fullness of their traditional life; many pages are devoted to the genuine nature of the Caucasus, whose paintings were so attractive to romantics. Meanwhile, the memoirist reveals himself to be a truly military man, a knowledgeable officer, whose view of the world around him is distinguished by sober and clear assessments. In a relaxed and fascinating narrative form, the author reveals to the reader the beauty of the Caucasian nature, and the exploits of his colleagues, and the customs of the highlanders, creating a unique synthesis in which, on the one hand, the mortal dangers of the military life of an officer of the Russian army are indissoluble, and on the other, the tremulous, grateful attitude to this God-given life.

Authors:   The Russian State Library, Krutova Marina S.
Published: October 2021

The Department of Manuscripts of the Russian State Library contains letters of Hegumen Ieron (worldly Ivan Nosov-Vasil’yev), Schemamonk Innokentiy (worldly last name — Sibiryakov) and Iosif the monk, the brethren of New Athos Monastery, named after Simon the Canaanean, to Archimandrite Leonid (worldly Lev Kavelin), Rector of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, a prominent scientist, a prominent scholar of the Russian Orthodox Church, one of the most enlightened priests of the 19th century. In 1885, the book “Abkhazia and New Athos Monastery, Named after Simon the Canaanean, in It” by Archimandrite Leonid was a real event. The published letters were written by the brethren of the monastery, people of different cultural levels; but they are all imbued with a sense of gratitude to the author, who wrote a book about their holy monastery, which they love and care about the improvement of. Hegumen Ieron’s letters contain numerous details about the opening of Pitsunda Monastery as a skete of New Athos Monastery, about the restoration of the ancient Pitsunda temple, about its beautification and the forthcoming consecration. Schemamonk Innokentiy’s letters provide detailed information about the history of the Monastery, as well as some cartographic data needed by Archimandrite Leonid for his book. Monk Iosif ’s letter contains details of the economic life of the monastery.

Published: October 2021

Nos últimos anos, as novas tecnologias ocupam cada vez mais espaço em nosso meio e têm facilitado o trabalho no dia a dia das empresas (ALVES, 2009; GONÇALVES, 2007). Cientes dessa realidade, muitos estabelecimentos buscaram conciliar os benefícios resultantes da utilização de softwares à necessidade de atrair e fidelizar clientes. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de identificar os principais fatores geradores de satisfação com o uso do aplicativo de compra on-line da rede Pontual Supermercados, localizada no município de Ituiutaba, estado de Minas Gerais. O método utilizado foi o estudo de caso (BARDIN, 2010; VERGARA, 2015; YIN, 2005), com análise descritiva e interpretativa de conteúdo, e o instrumento de coleta de dados um questionário (survey). Os resultados do diagnóstico realizado entre usuários do aplicativo Pontual mostram que fatores como comodidade, rapidez, economia de tempo, promoções, preços e bonificações interferem na satisfação e contribuem significativamente para a fidelização de usuários/clientes, conforme demonstram os estudos de Alberto (2009), Gonçalves (2007) e Lima (2001). A presente pesquisa pode concorrer para ampliar o debate sobre o tema, bem como auxiliar a rede Pontual Supermercados e outras organizações do mesmo ramo de atividade na tomada de decisões e na escolha de um método (aplicativo de compra on-line) que, além de atrair clientes, reduz custos, concorre para a racionalização de processos (como a redução de panfletos e materiais impressos, por exemplo) e, consequentemente para a responsabilidade socioambiental.
Formação docente em início de carreira: narrativas de profissionais da rede pública de Jaraguá-GO
Authors: Castro Hortencia Matias de , Souza José Carlos Moreira de
Published: October 2021

O período inicial da carreira docente é dotado de desafios, visto que o professor está aprendendo o ofício. No entanto, estudos da área têm apontado que grande parte da responsabilidade pelas dificuldades que os docentes iniciantes enfrentam é da formação inicial inadequada e descontextualizada diante da realidade, o que traz desafios à efetivação de uma prática docente eficaz. Diante disto, a presente pesquisa objetivou compreender a efetividade dos cursos de formação inicial frente aos obstáculos enfrentados pelos docentes iniciantes. Para tanto, utilizou-se de um estudo de caso com 16 professores em seus primeiros cinco anos de carreira. A partir da coleta de dados e da análise da percepção dos participantes, foi possível inferir que as contribuições da formação inicial de professores são mínimas e que, em alguns casos, são desconsideradas pelos profissionais. Ademais, foram desnudadas questões inéditas, como os desafios impostos ao professor iniciante no trabalho com alunos da Educação Especial, entre outras, que podem ser discutidas em pesquisas futuras.
O (Novo) Ensino Médio na visão dos alunos: rastros da racionalidade neoliberal
Authors: Weinheimer Gicele , Wanderer Fernanda
Published: October 2021

O artigo examina relações entre a educação contemporânea e a racionalidade neoliberal. Em especial, analisa enunciações de discentes sobre a escola e sobre o Ensino Médio, tendo em vista a implementação do Programa Novo Ensino Médio (PNEM). O referencial teórico advém de conceitos discutidos por Michel Foucault, Masschelein e Simons e Dardot e Laval. A parte empírica realizou-se em uma instituição de ensino pública estadual de uma cidade da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre – RS, em 2018. O material escrutinado é constituído por questionários respondidos por estudantes que frequentavam o Ensino Médio. A estratégia analítica utilizada para operar sobre o material orientou-se pela análise do discurso, como compreendido por Foucault. O exame mostrou que a racionalidade neoliberal tem conduzido as condutas escolares na atualidade. Dentre os rastros captados, destaca-se: a empregabilidade posta como foco do Ensino Médio; a competitividade e a performatividade pensadas como prerrogativas à conquista dos melhores resultados e a necessidade de reforma premente, tanto institucional quanto individual. Assim, conclui-se que o jogo contemporâneo marcado pelas lógicas neoliberais produz formas de vida escolares sustentadas pelos princípios da concorrência, aperfeiçoamento e autopromoção, fazendo com que os alunos se tornem empresários responsáveis por seu sucesso ou fracasso.

Com isso ressalta-se que o uso desta teoria para nortear as condutas de enfermagem possibilita a realização de um cuidado pautado na empatia e no olhar atento ao aspecto biopsicossocioespiritual da pessoa com diabetes mellitus.
Advances in the development of PubCaseFinder, including the new application programming interface and matching algorithm
Authors: Fujiwara Toyofumi , Shin Jae-Moon , Yamaguchi Atsuko
Published: October 2021

Over 7,000 rare genetic diseases have been identified, and millions of
newborns are affected by severe rare genetic diseases each year. A
variety of Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO)-based clinical decision
support systems (CDSS) and patient repositories have been developed to
support clinicians in diagnosing patients with suspected rare genetic
diseases. In September 2017, we released PubCaseFinder
(https://pubcasefinder.dbcls.jp), a web-based CDSS that provides ranked
lists of genetic and rare diseases using HPO-based phenotypic
similarities, where top-listed diseases represent the most likely
differential diagnosis. We also developed a Matchmaker Exchange (MME)
application programming interface (API) to query PubCaseFinder, which
has been adopted by several patient repositories. In this paper, we
describe notable updates regarding PubCaseFinder, the GeneYenta matching
algorithm implemented in PubCaseFinder, and the PubCaseFinder API. The
updated GeneYenta matching algorithm improves the performance of the
CDSS automated differential diagnosis function. Moreover, the updated
PubCaseFinder and new API empower patient repositories participating in
MME and medical professionals to actively use HPO-based resources.

Published: October 2021

Climate warming will likely disrupt the flow of matter and energy within
ecosystems, threatening the global carbon balance. Microorganisms are
fundamental components of carbon cycling and are thus integral to
ecosystem climate responses. However, ecosystem responses to warming are
uncertain due to the functional and trophic complexity of microbial food
webs. Here, we expose two major black boxes hindering our ability to
anticipate ecosystem climate responses: viral infection and predation by
microbial predators. We review current knowledge and uncover critical
gaps in knowledge about how warming will impact these important top-down
controls on the global carbon cycle. Understanding and predicting
ecosystem responses to climate change will require disentangling complex
direct and indirect responses within microbial food webs.
Visual-spatial dimensions of modern residential buildings, experience of the Nordic region
Authors: Ile Una
Published: October 2021

The visual-spatial dimensions of architecture are constantly changing, architects and urban planners are aware and understand the need for a healthy, active, vibrant public outdoor space, creating viable, economically and rationally suitable living spaces in the urban environment [12]. A comprehensive approach to sustainable architecture and design with a green structure combines a high-quality urban environment. In modern architecture, one of the perspective directions in the development of visual-spatial environment and structural forms is related to the active and continuous synthesis of the design and construction process in the urban environment [13; 4]. In recent years, the tendencies of rationalism and commercial nature based on technological progress have entered architecture and create a need for the architects to purposefully cooperate with the urban planners in the elaboration of development plans. The format of mutual cooperation brings together and rationally balances various dimensions of the urban environment in a compact visual-spatial structure. Thus, the aim of the research is to determine the visual-spatial dimensions of modern residential buildings in the context of sustainable urban development.
Protection of organic cereals from insect and rodent pests in a warehouse by combined use of traps and sticky tapes

Published: October 2021

Several options of protection of organic cereals (winter and spring wheat,
rye and maize) from insect and rodent pests, using a combination of traps
(with or without pheromone/ attractant) and sticky tapes and no chemicals,
were tested in a warehouse over the summerspring season of 2019/2020.
Temperature in the warehouse was 14-29?C and humidity around 50%. The
average grain moisture of winter and spring wheat and rye was 10-11%, while
it was 12-14% in maize grain, and the average grain temperature of all
cereals was 13-27?C. Regarding stored-product insect pests, five
coleopteran, two moth and one Psocoptera species were detected, and the
coleopterans predominated (98.5%) along with secondary pest insects (94.0%).
Regarding rodents, only specimens of Mus musculus were found throughout the
test period, their maximum monthly frequency being 72 (in January 2020). A
combination of traps (with or without pheromones) and sticky tape barriers
was found to provide an effective tool for trapping insects. Also, snap
traps and trapping boxes for killing rodents, when used simultaneously with
sticky tape barriers, were found to provide good protection of cereals from
house mice. The pest control effect was also confirmed by collecting samples
of organic cereal grain, which showed no significant presence of
stored-product insects or grain damage (0.94% and 0.96% in spring wheat and
rye, respectively) at the end of the test period. The results showed a great
potential of combined application of traps and sticky tapes for protecting
organic cereals in horizontal bulk storages, but the use of chemicals
approved for organic food production would be required under extended
storage periods.
Increased Energy Expenditure and Protection From Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice Lacking the cGMP-Specific Phosphodiesterase PDE9

Published: October 2021

Cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP are important second messengers for the regulation of adaptive thermogenesis. Their levels are controlled not only by their synthesis, but also their degradation. Since pharmacological inhibitors of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase 9 (PDE9) can increase cGMP-dependent protein kinase signaling and uncoupling protein 1 expression in adipocytes, we sought to elucidate the role of PDE9 on energy balance and glucose homeostasis in vivo. Mice with targeted disruption of the PDE9 gene, Pde9a, were fed nutrient-matched high-fat (HFD) or low-fat diets. Pde9a−/− mice were resistant to HFD-induced obesity, exhibiting a global increase in energy expenditure, while brown adipose tissue (AT) had increased respiratory capacity and elevated expression of Ucp1 and other thermogenic genes. Reduced adiposity of HFD-fed Pde9a−/− mice was associated with improvements in glucose handling and hepatic steatosis. Cold exposure or treatment with β-adrenergic receptor agonists markedly decreased Pde9a expression in brown AT and cultured brown adipocytes, while Pde9a−/− mice exhibited a greater increase in AT browning, together suggesting that the PDE9-cGMP pathway augments classical cold-induced β-adrenergic/cAMP AT browning and energy expenditure. These findings suggest PDE9 is a previously unrecognized regulator of energy metabolism and that its inhibition may be a valuable avenue to explore for combating metabolic disease.

Research on sputtering behavior of three beams coaxial laser cladding powder based on the interaction of lasers and powder
Authors: Li Chang , Zhang Dacheng , Yang Yanpeng , Gao Hexin , Han Xing
Published: October 2021

During laser cladding, a mutual coupling effect exists among the powder, carrier gas, shielding gas, and laser beam. The key to optimizing the cladding process is determining the effective utilization of the powder and revealing the interaction mechanism of the laser and the powder. In this paper, a continuous-discrete phase coupling model of the interaction between 316L powder, carrier gas, and protective gas in laser cladding is established, which is based on a three-beam coaxial powder feeder. Quantitatively reveals the influence of working distance, carrier gas flow rate, and shielding gas flow rate on the state of powder aggregation and the external flow field of the powder nozzle during the cladding process. To improve the utilization rate of the powder, the cladding process parameters were optimized by the orthogonal test method. A custom program of laser heat source function was written to calculate the temperature rise of powder under the interaction of the laser and the powder. The relationship between powder temperature and cladding process parameters was established. The powder aggregation shape obtained by the numerical simulation was compared with the actual aggregation shape. The temperature of the powder particles at a fixed position was collected by a noncontact infrared thermometer DT-8856H and compared with the simulation results to verify the validity of the established model. The research in this paper can effectively reveal the powder participation and the interaction mechanism of the laser and the powder during laser cladding. It can provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the cladding process parameters throughout the cycle and improving the quality of the cladding layer.

Published: October 2021

The purpose of the research is to identify the patterns of development of educational systems of Russia and the West with emphasis on the features of the introduction of the Bologna process into the Russian higher education system. In the process of research, methods of comparative analysis, cyclicity, intersectoral synthesis, theoretical and legal modeling, historical and legal reconstruction, as well as other methods of scientific knowledge were used. The concept of the cycle of social history in relation to the genesis of the State and law in general and in relation to the concept of educational law in particular is justified. The conceptual difference between the educational systems of Russia and the West in terms of the mechanism of their formation and the goals of functioning is shown. The intra-systemic conflict of the system of modern Russian education is proved, combining Soviet (specialty, graduate school) and Bologna (undergraduate, master's degree) components.

This phenomenon is closely related to the features of a person’s existential position in the world. The study presents an associative model of the concept of “conscience” in the biblical cultural discourse. The semantic components of the concept are determined and its biblical meanings are considered.
Forming the fundamentals of social culture and cultural competence in school students in the process of mastering the content of musical pieces
Authors: Krasilnikov Igor Mikhailovivh
Published: October 2021

Students’ mastery of the content of musical pieces in different artistic genres provides for a versatile development of their moral culture as the basis of social culture and cultural competence. The condition for the success of this process lies in the musical activity transcending to the creative level allowing access to the imaginative and emotional “overtones” in the sound of music. Involving all children and adolescents in musical creativity is possible through the implementation of the pedagogical technology of interactive music-making that involves a complementary interaction with the outside source of sound. A pedagogical experiment conducted as a part of concerts of the artistic and educational project “Music-making for all” that were designed based on the aforementioned technology demonstrates students’ successful mastery of the content of the performed pieces, as well as the development of the required characteristics of social culture in them.

Published: October 2021

The present study is devoted to the construction of factor equivalence scales that take into account the patterns in the change of human development indicators of the Russian Federation. Based on the statistical data of the 2018 survey on income and expenses of 48.124 households, conducted by the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), a linear multiple regression model was constructed, variance analysis was performed, and a matrix of paired correlation coefficients of the most significant regression variables in the studied statistical data was calculated. The analysis of the calculated family ES for 2018 has shown that to increase the human development index, it is advisable to develop state measures based on the ES to eliminate socio-economic imbalances and uneven development of individual processes of the basic components of human development in the regions of the Russian Federation.

Da inoperosidade em Agamben à dúvida de Cézanne em Merleau-Ponty
Authors: Parreiras Mônica
Published: October 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo trabalhar o conceito de inoperosidade desenvolvido por Agamben articulando-o com o pintor Cézanne a partir do ensaio de Merleau-Ponty intitulado A dúvida de Cézanne (1960). No decorrer do artigo, abordaremos também o conceito de forma-de-vida em Agamben, pois ambos os conceitos se inter-relacionam. Veremos ainda, de acordo com Merleau-Ponty, que a arte de Cézanne vem romper com os paradigmas da época e deste modo, sustentaremos que o artista tem na sua forma de vida a contemplação de uma potência donde a inoperosidade faz surgir uma forma-de-vida, rompendo com os dispositivos biopolíticos de controle.

Published: October 2021

The use of Aspilia africana as a nonconventional feedstuff to reduce the cost of feed has not been fully explored in poultry production. Therefore, an experiment was conducted on one hundred and ninety-two (192) twelve weeks old birds to determine the effect of Aspilia africana leaf meal (ALM) diet on the performance, egg quality and faecal microbial load. The birds were divided into four groups, each consisting of forty-eight birds. After a two-week acclimatisation, experimental diets that consisted of 0% (Diet 1), 10% (Diet 2), 20% (Diet 3) and 30% (Diet 4) ALM substitution of soybean were fed to the birds. Data on growth performance were collected in the first phase, whereas egg quality, laying performance and faecal count was examined in phase two of the experiment. The data collected were subjected to one-way analysis of variance and significant means were separated via Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The obtained results identified best (p < 0.05) outcome for growth performance and faecal bacterial load at 30% ALM inclusion in the diet. ALM offered at 20% was optimal for overall egg quality, though egg weight at first lay was superior in pullets fed 10% ALM diet. When consumer attraction to yolk colour is the criterion for purchase, preference for eggs from birds supplied 30% dietary ALM is expected.

Material and methods: This study was a cross-sectional study of a convenient sample including 50 participants both males and females. Mean age of the participants was 51.20 ± 19.30 years. Reliability of the newly developed device was analysed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM). The criterion validity was also investigated using a yardstick mounted on the wall at a level of shoulder together with the MaxTraq® 2D motion analysis software. The modified digital functional reach test device using an ultrasonic sensor was correlated with the conventional FRT and the MaxTraq® 2D motion analysis.

Results: The results presented that test-retest reliability of the modified digital functional reach test device was good reliability (ICC = 0.76) and low standard error of measurement (1.41) was found for test-retest reliability. The degree of agreement between the modified device, the conventional FRT, and the MaxTraq® 2D motion analysis was high (r = 0.71 and 0.77 respectively).

Conclusions: The findings suggested that the modified digital functional reach test device using an ultrasonic sensor was a valid and reliable instrument for fall risk screening towards functional reach distance.

Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by decreased quality and strength of bones so that it becomes porous and fracture. Propolis is known to have many pharmacological activity, including an anti-osteoporosis effect. This study aims to determine the effect of propolis administration and the effects of propolis dosage variation in preventing osteoporosis based on the strength value of femur bone impact in female white rats in the form of an ovariectomy postmenopausal model. The rats were divided into 5 groups: positive control group (subjected to ovariectomy), negative control group (not subjected to ovariectomy, and treatment groups that were subjected to ovariectomy and given propolis at a dose of 180 mg/kg BW, dose 360 mg/kg BW and dose 720 mg/kg BW. Propolis was administered orally for 30 days. Bone impact strength testing was undertaken after 30 days using an impact testing machine. Research data were analyzed via one-way ANOVA and continued with the Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. From the test results, we noted that propolis administration had an effect on the value of bone strength, with the dose of 720 mg/kg BW and 360 mg/kg BW having a significant effect, compared with others. With an increase in dose, propolis can provide an increase in the value of bone strength in rat bones.

World-wide, Indonesia is ranked 17th in oral cancers, with deaths reaching 2.326 cases. Of the oral cancers, 90% are squamous cell carcinoma (HSC-3). Unfortunately, conventional cancer therapy still has many ill side effects. Therefore, pharmacologists have looked for natural ingredients to prevent the growth of oral cancer cells. One source is Cymbopogon citratus leaf. Research shows that the active compound of C. citratus leaf is a chemopreventive, doing so by increasing the production of re-active oxygen species (ROS) to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. The active compound of C. citratus leaf has low stability and solubility, so it is necessary to use an encapsulation matrix such as chitosan, and modify it into smaller particles to increase its effectiveness.

Purpose is determining the effect of nano chitosan encapsulation of C. citratus leaf ethanol extract (NCECC) on the reactive oxygen species of HSC-3 tongue cancer cells. This study is divided into ten groups – without treatment, doxorubicin (positive control), hydrogen peroxide, nano chitosan and C. citratus leaf extract groups, and five groups of NCECC treatment – concentrations of 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 12.5%, respectively. The 100% NCECC group showed the highest ROS concentration (p<0.05), compared to 75%, 50%, 25%, 12.5% NCECC groups, and the 100% NCECC was higher than the positive control group. NCECC is effective in inducing oxidative stress on HSC-3 through increased production of ROS. Moreover, the higher the encapsulation concentration given, the greater the increase in ROS production.

Lagos State, which is home to Lagos metropolis and the eighteenth largest urban agglomeration in 2018 in the world, has been characterized by rapid urbanization. An earlier study of the eastern segment of the state revealed dramatic urban growth in previously rural local councils where it replaced mostly ecological assets. For a statewide view of the landscape pattern changes, this study examined the western segment of the state to characterize the magnitude and trend of these changes. This was done with Landsat images for 1984, 2006 and 2015 along with ENVI 5.0 software and FRAGSTATS v.4.2 spatial pattern analysis program. Results show that cumulatively, the ecological assets, which comprised 75% of the area in 1984, have been whittled down to about 34% by 2015 having been lost through urban development. At the council level in 2015, the highest growth areas, in decreasing order of magnitude, were Alimosho, Badagry, Ojo and Amuwo Odofin local government areas. Both class and landscape-level metrics confirmed the dominance and fragmentation of the resultant landscape in 2015 by urban development. In 1984, vegetation dominated the landscape at 55% coverage and was the largest feature with the highest area-weighted contiguity or connectedness index. Thirty-one years later in 2015, built-up areas were the dominant patch with 54% coverage and the highest contiguity and area-weighted contiguity index, higher than vegetation. These findings have narrowed the information gap about the spatial and temporal changes in the ecological assets of the western segment of Lagos State as a result of rapid urban expansion.
Simulation of the incubation time for the formation of (FeB/Fe2B) bilayer on pure iron

Published: October 2021

In this work, a mathematical model was used in order to study the growth kinetics of (Fe2B/FeB) bilayer during bori-ding process basing on the second Fick’s law and mass balance equation. The run of the numerical simulation allowed calculating the incubation time (τ) of each boronized layer (Fe2B or FeB), and estimating the effect of this parameter on the growth of the boronized layer. The boride incubation time for forming the FeB or Fe2B layer on the pure iron substrate was incorporated into the present mathematical model. To simulate the value of the growth rate constant and the incubation time for the bilayer configuration, the experimental data available in the literature concerning the boronizing of pure iron were considered. Based on the experimental and simulation results, it was shown that the incubation time decreases with increasing temperature in the FeB and Fe2B phases.

It was concluded from this study that the thickness of each boride layer depended on its growth rate constant and on another parameter kτ which was the rate constant of incubation time.The obtained results confirmed the validity of the present mathematical model and gave a good estimate of the incubation time during the formation of each boride layer as well as formulated the variation of this parameter with a mathematical equation. Furthermore, the comparison of experimental data with the simulated results of boronized layer thickness allowed to validate the present model.
It Gets Better: Themes of Redemption in the Coming Out Narratives of LGBTQ+ Adults
Authors: Rouse Steven V. , Chu Lauren E. , Gash Joshua A.
Published: October 2021

A qualitative analysis of 151 coming out narratives written by members of sexual minority groups or gender minority groups suggested that individuals who disclosed their identity experienced supportive responses from friends and family members more often than nonsupportive ones. The majority of the narrative writers described the coming out process as leading to enhanced levels of communion, as many of the narratives recounted strengthening or forming relationships, feeling understood more authentically by others, and experiencing greater unity and connectedness with others. Many others described an empowering experience that led to a greater sense of personal identity and self-determination. Results suggest that the coming out process can have positive effects on the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals, marking a positive turning point in their life histories.

Adapting the Simple Through Girder to Sit in Nature, The Wupperthal Footbridge
Authors: Anderson John , de Kock Warrick
Published: October 2021

Some places are hard to get to and Wupperthal, a small town nestled deep within in the Cederberg Mountains, in South Africa is one of those places. Founded by German missionaries in 1830 the town is home to 1400 inhabitants and a growing tourist destination. An adjacent river, however, is a barrier during the wet seasons for farm children trying to reach the town’s school. A permanent footbridge was therefore recently commissioned to replace temporary structures that have proved dangerous. This paper tells the story of the single span through girder footbridge. Designed to sit as a comfortable object in its natural surroundings the new footbridge is both functional and attractive. The tapering steel plated cross section presents a profiled elevation that splits to create an arched opening at the midspan of the bridge. To create this elegant form the design had to prevent the buckling of the unbraced top chord of the girder. This was achieved through an iterative study of various cross sections and the transitioning of the plate girder into a box section over the opening. Developing a three-dimensional CAD model of the bridge helped engineers conceive the slender form. The model was then exported to create the finite element plated model and then developed into full workshop drawings. The bridge is considered simple but striking in its appearance and this paper aims to highlight that standard solutions can be transformed where appropriate within limited means.
