Faktori prirodnog fertiliteta
Authors: Rašević Mirjana
Published: December 2023

Prirodni potencijal za rađanje dece, formalno posmatrano, je veliki. Pošto normalna trudnoća traje devet meseci, potencijalno plodna žena bi teorijski mogla da rodi najmanje jedno dete godišnje odnosno 35 dece tokom reproduktivnog perioda, aproksimativno limitiranog između 15 i 50 godina starosti. U populacijama koje po pravilu karakteriše odsustvo kontrole prirodnog potencijala, pak, prosečan broj rođene dece po jednoj ženi nije ni izbliza tako veliki. Najčešće iznosi oko 6 ili 7 dece.

Rad predstavlja pregled odgovora na pitanje porekla razlike između teorijskog, formalno postavljenog okvira za rađanje i stvarnog rađanja u uslovima kada se ono ne ograničava. U tom smislu je prikazano Lorimerovo (1954) razmatranje prosečnog prokreaktivnog kapaciteta nekontraceptivne populacije koja živi pod „relativno povoljnim životnim uslovima“ u kome je naglasak na biološkim faktorima. Zatim, imajući u vidu da vrednost procene prosečnog prokreativnog kapaciteta zavisi u najvećoj meri od realnosti prihvaćene pretpostavke o efektivnoj verovatnoći začeća plodnih žena u jednoj kalendarskoj godini, izloženo je vise modela verovatnoće začeća. Takođe, navedeno je Bongaartsovo (1993) istraživanje relativnog doprinosa faktora različite prirode na nivo prirodnog fertiliteta koje je pokazalo značaj faktora individualnog ponašanja.

Izloženo pitanje o prirodnoj osnovi rađanja dece je pokazalo svu njegovu složenost i važnost. Najnovija istraživanja postojećim znanjima i osnovnim pretpostavkama dodali su nova. To se posebno odnosi na značaj individualnog ponašanja kao determinante prirodnog fertiliteta stanovništva. Dokazi o značaju individualnog ponašanja kao determinante prirodnog fertiliteta ne pretpostavljaju postojanje planiranja porodice kao stila života pojedinca već ističu ulogu socijalnih normi, moralnih kodeksa i zakonskih rešenja, proizvoda društvene svesti, koji uplivišu i nadziru odluke žene i muškarca vezane za porodični život i rađanje dece u populacijama u kojima se svesno ne kontroliše plodnost. Istovremeno ovi dokazi su indirektan odgovor na pitanje da li postoje velike razlike u genetskom potencijalu za rađanje dece medu različitim populacijama. Zaključak da biološki faktori imaju ograničen uticaj na prirodni fertilitet ukazuje da ukoliko ove razlike i postoje one nisu takvog stepena da su značajne za nivo rađanja u populacijama koje ne kontrolišu plodnost. Samim tim njihov značaj u populacijama sa raširenom kontrolom rađanja je još manji.

Published: December 2023

The methodological components of direct and indirect analytical determining of the degree of coating of synthetic diamond grinding powders are analyzed. It has been established that the weight method most used in practice for determining this technological property of grinding powder is not universal for different methods of applying the coating. More universal in this regard, as the review of publications showed, is the well-known indirect-analytical method based on the pycnometric-additive approach. An improved variant of this method is proposed, aimed at application to high-strength synthetic diamond grinding powders. The method takes into account the peculiarities of the 3D morphology of the grains of such powders. Using the example of grinding powder AC300 500/400, the grains of which were coated with a solution of a mixture of boron oxide, sodium silicate, and titanium carbide, the advantages of using the proposed method are illustrated. The results of a comparison of determining the degree of coating by a known method and its improved variant are presented.

Three-dimensional simulation of granular materials by discrete element method (DEM) by considering the fracture effect of particles
Authors: Mahboob Amir , Hassanshahi Omid , Sarabi Tabrizi Ashkan
Published: December 2023

Coarse-grained materials, such as sand and gravel, exhibit a significant dependence on particle failure rate, which greatly influences their engineering behavior. This research focuses on the three-dimensional modeling of grain material behavior using the discrete element method (DEM) with PFC3D software and FISH programming language. The specific objective is to model the particle breakage phenomenon and its impact on resistance behavior and deformation. To accurately represent the non-spherical shape of the particles, an interconnected sphere approach was employed. The modeling of grain failure was achieved by establishing a failure criterion that considers two critical conditions: the heterogeneity of contact forces and stress within the particle. The proposed model and criteria were validated through comparison with triaxial experimental results obtained from the Purulia dam gravel. The results demonstrate that the developed model successfully captures the essential aspects of particle failure and its influence on the behavior of the granular environment. The simulations accurately represent the resistance behavior and deformation characteristics observed in the triaxial experiments. This validates the effectiveness of the proposed model in simulating the significant effects of particle failure on the behavior of coarse-grained materials. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex behavior of coarse-grained materials, particularly in terms of their response to particle failure. The developed DEM model, incorporating the particle breakage phenomenon, provides a valuable tool for accurately predicting and analyzing the behavior of granular materials in various engineering applications.

Published: December 2023

Inleiding: Ouders leven in een digitaliserende sociale wereld en zoeken veelal online naar informatie en hulp over opgroeien en opvoeden. In de jeugdgezondheidszorg neemt de aandacht voor online hulpverlening toe. Opvoedingsondersteuning wordt voor ouders veel toegankelijker en laagdrempeliger met de inzet van online communicatiekanalen. De vraag is of in online contact voldoende een alliantie tot stand gebracht kan worden tussen de ouder en professional.
Methode: In samenwerking met de GroeiGids en Newtee onderzocht het Lectoraat Jeugd, Gezin en Samenleving van Avans Hogeschool de online alliantie van de GroeiGids ouderchat met behulp van de Vragenlijst Online Alliantie.
Resultaten: Ouders en professionals waren het voor 62% eens over de kwaliteit van de alliantie. Ouders gaven vaker de score ‘Goed’ en professionals vaker de score ‘Voldoende’. Over het algemeen waren beiden dus positief over de online alliantie. Verschillen over eenzelfde chatgesprek, die in 38% van de gevallen optraden, bieden aanleiding voor feedback en evaluatie.
Conclusie: De resultaten van de Vragenlijst Online alliantie in de GroeiGids ouderchat bevestigen dat online communicatie een sterke kans biedt om ouders op een goede manier te ondersteunen. Het vaststellen van de kwaliteit van online alliantie is ondersteunend aan toenemend (digitaal) vakmanschap binnen de jeugdgezondheidszorg.
Investigation of memristive memory in the framework of low power consumption and improved Read/Write time
Authors: Baig Hafiz Asadullah , Anas Ali
Published: December 2023

Memristor is a non-linear passive circuit element. It was visualized by Leon Chua in 1971. Memristor can form a non-linear relationship with electric charge and magnetic flux. Memristor has the capability to hold data even if it is not connected to any power source. This property makes it non-volatile in nature. Memristor is a non-volatile memory which can be used for data storage. International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors acknowledges that it is difficult to scale the transistor beyond its current size and to overcome the existing memory issues, emerging memristor technology is being developed. The objective of this research is to realize the memristor based non-volatile memory which can consume less power with better Read/Write time. In this research, properties and construction of memristor is analyzed. In order to construct a memristor, various softwares like LTspice and MATLAB are used.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DA CURVA DA DEMANDA E O COMPORTAMENTO DO SETOR PARA UMA POLÍTICA DE DETERMINAÇÃO DE PREÇOS: O CASO DO ÁLCOOL HIDRATADO NO BRASIL
Authors: Dias Joilson , Sordi João Celso
Published: December 2023

Tem por objetivos determinar o tipo de função de demanda que melhor caracteriza o mercado de álcool hidratado no Brasil e verificar qual o comportamento que melhor descreve o setor no período 1980-1995. A importância do primeiro está em que os impostos ambientais e/ou subsídios impostos sobre o preço afetam, de maneira diferenciada o consumo final, dependendo da curva de demanda. Com relação ao segundo objetivo a sua importância se encontra em conhecer a reação do setor para as diferentes políticas. Os resultados encontrados foram os seguintes: a) o tipo da curva de demanda que melhor se adequou foi a demanda linear, portanto um imposto ambiental seria repassado em somente metade para o preço final do produto, sendo o mesmo efeito para o caso de um subsídio, no qual os consumidores se beneficiariam somente da metade do repasse; b) o comportamento do setor caracteriza-se, apesar de oligopólio, como o de um monopólio sob controle de preço, sendo que a sua curva de reação no tempo é a de eliminar qualquer probabilidade de controle de preço no futuro através do controle de sua oferta.

Authors: Galvão Olímpio José de Arroxelas
Published: December 2023

Investiga os possíveis problemas que as regiões menos desenvolvidas do País, especialmente do Nordeste, poderão enfrentar no futuro próximo, com a continuidade do processo de integração dos países latino-americanos, no que diz respeito às iniciativas de harmonização das legislações nacionais e de políticas econômicas. Especificamente, procura saber se o aprofundamento da integração entre os países do Cone Sul e a incorporação de novos membros poderão comprometer os esforços federais de desenvolvimento das regiões mais atrasadas, caso esses países venham a pressionar pela eliminação dos incentivos fiscais e financeiros às regiões Norte e Nordeste. Argumenta que as atuais políticas regionais no Brasil são totalmente consistentes com as regras da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC) e conclui que o fortalecimento e o aperfeiçoamento de políticas de desenvolvimento regional devem ser vistos como condição necessária e indispensável a um saudável processo de equilíbrio social e de convergência econômica.

Published: December 2023

Este trabalho discute o comportamento do investimento privado na economia brasileira no período 1970/1995. Inicialmente são revisadas as principais teorias sobre o investimento, considerando-se, em particular, as especificidades das economias em desenvolvimento. Dessa revisão são extraídas as variáveis candidatas para o estudo econométrico realizado mais adiante. O breve survey empírico realizado em seguida tem a função de situar o presente trabalho no âmbito de outros estudos sobre o tema. A constatação de que as séries de investimento privado, investimento governamental, Produto Interno Bruto (PIB), taxa de juros e taxa de inflação são cointegradas permitiu modelar o comportamento a longo prazo e a dinâmica de curto prazo do investimento do setor privado. As conclusões ressaltam o papel inibidor dos investimentos privados desempenhado pela instabilidade macroeconômica e pelos investimentos governamentais durante o período analisado.

Partimos desse referencial por acreditarmos que sua utilização poderá trazer importantes contribuições para essa área de estudo, inclusive, por tentar salientar questões normalmente colocadas à margem quando do tratamento tradicional dos problemas no campo da economia regional: aspectos da economia política e os efeitos da coesão e organização social enquanto elementos endógenos ao desenvolvimento econômico. Nosso ponto de partida foi o conceito de fordismo periférico, o qual, utilizamos para aproximar os eventos da economia brasileira de toda estrutura conceitual e metodológica desenvolvida pelos teóricos da EFR. A partir de então analisamos de que forma o extravasamento das atividades produtivas no país, notadamente a partir da segunda metade dos anos cinquenta, período em que modelo fordista se expande nos países capitalistas, tornando-se hegemônico, rebateu sobre a Região Nordeste. A chave dessa questão está exatamente em verificarmos o paralelismo do desenvolvimento desse regime de acumulação e modo de regulação específicos (e suas respectivas formas estruturais de regulação) com o modelo substitutivo de importações que foi característico, no país, a partir da Segunda guerra mundial.

المستخلص:لعب تبادل البضائع دورًا مهمًا للغاية في حياة الإنسان، وقد خضع شكله للعديد من التغييرات حتى يتمكن الإنسان من تلبية احتياجاته بطرق أسهل و آمن. في عام 2009 م، شهد الاقتصاد العالمي شكلًا جديدًا من المعاملات التي تم تنفيذها بواسطة العملات الرقمیة وهي لم تواجه مشاكل المعاملات الأخرى. ومنذ ذلك الحين، تمكنت العملات الرقمیة تدريجيًا من اكتساب مكانة مهمة للغاية في العلاقات المالية والاقتصادية العالمیة، وذلك بسبب عدم قدرة الحكومات والبنوك على التدخل فضلاً عن وجود بنك مركزي، بالإضافة إلی تنفیذ جميع الأنشطة مثل النشر والمعالجة والتحقق من صحة المعاملات من قبل الشبكة الإلکترونیة. ومن أبرز أنواع العملات الرقمیة، عملة البتکوین التي تُستخدم اليوم في العديد من المعاملات في‌المجتمعات الإسلامية وغير الإسلامية وتختص بها قدرًا هائلًا من المصادر المالیة. وبما أن هذه المسألة من المسائل المستجدة و المهمة للغایة التي تجب معرفة‌ حکمها الفقهي فجاء هذا البحث لمعالجة هذا الموضوع علی وفق الأحکام الفقهیة مترتبًا علی معرفة حقیقة‌العملات الرقمیة «البتکوین أنموذجًا» و خصائصها. وقــد خلــصنا إلــى أنه یجوز التعامل بالعملات الرقمیة بالبیع و نحوه؛ للخدشة في الأدلة الشرعیة المذکورة في أثناء البحث التي أقامتها الفقهاء علی حرمتها، أبرزهـا أن التعامل مع هذه العملات مشمول لقاعدة نفي‌الغرر.‌

Background: Mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression are increasingly recognized as significant challenges among dental students globally. These issues can impact their academic performance and overall well-being, necessitating a deeper understanding within the context of dental education.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among pre-clinical dental students at the Institute of Dentistry, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro, and to explore any potential gender differences in these mental health parameters.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling to recruit first and second-year BDS students, both male and female, aged 18-22 years. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was employed to evaluate the participants. Data was collected through Google's online software, ensuring confidentiality of participants' information. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were utilized for data analysis, using SPSS version 24.
Results: The study included 186 students, with an average age of 20.73±1.24 years. The gender distribution was 41% male and 59% female. The findings revealed that 87% of students had extremely severe anxiety levels, 45% had extremely severe depression, and 31% experienced extreme levels of stress. However, there was no statistically significant relationship between gender and levels of depression (P=0.333), anxiety (P=0.786), or stress (P=0.363).
Conclusion: The study highlighted a high prevalence of mental health issues among pre-clinical dental students, with particularly severe levels of anxiety. Despite no significant gender differences, the overall elevated levels of stress, anxiety, and depression point to the need for targeted mental health interventions in dental education programs.

Background: Chronic daily headache (CDH) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are prevalent health issues with significant impact on individuals' quality of life. Understanding the relationship between these conditions is essential for developing effective treatment strategies.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between iron deficiency anemia and chronic daily headache.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted at Pak Emirates Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from February to July 2023. The study included 140 patients diagnosed with CDH and 140 age- and sex-matched controls without a history of CDH. Demographic data (age, gender, location, education, marital status) were collected along with clinical characteristics (headache frequency, intensity, duration) and hematological parameters (hemoglobin level, serum ferritin level, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, platelet count, white blood cell count, hematocrit level, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration). Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square tests and ANOVA.
Results: There were no significant differences in demographic characteristics between the CDH and control groups. CDH patients exhibited higher headache frequency (57.14% experienced headaches 10-15 times per month), intensity (64.43% reported NRS score of 5-8), and duration (87.15% reported headache duration of over 4 hours) compared to controls. Hematological analysis revealed significantly lower mean hemoglobin (9.85±2.13 g/dL) and serum ferritin levels (30.72±7.65 ng/mL) in CDH patients compared to controls (13.1±2.70 g/dL and 65.09±12.82 ng/mL, respectively). A significant association between IDA and CDH was established (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The study demonstrates a significant association between iron deficiency anemia and chronic daily headache, highlighting the potential role of iron deficiency in the development of CDH.

Background: With the advancement of surgical techniques, the comparison of electrocautery and scalpel incisions in midline abdominal surgeries has become an essential area of study. Traditional scalpel incisions have been known for their precision but carry risks of excessive blood loss and sharp injuries. Electrocautery, offering a potentially safer and more efficient alternative, has been gaining attention in surgical practices.
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness, safety, and outcomes of electrocautery versus scalpel incisions in midline abdominal surgeries, with a focus on incision time, blood loss, wound infection, and postoperative pain.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, over 12 months from June 2021 to June 2022. A total of 150 patients, split evenly into electrocautery and scalpel groups, were evaluated. Patients aged 20-75 years, undergoing midline abdominal surgery, were included. The main parameters measured were incision time, blood loss, wound infection, and postoperative pain. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, employing independent samples t-tests and chi-square tests.
Results: The electrocautery group exhibited a significantly shorter incision time (13.73 ± 2.45 seconds) compared to the scalpel group (18.67 ± 3.02 seconds, p < 0.001). Blood loss was also lower in the electrocautery group (11.47 ± 2.49 ml) than in the scalpel group (27.27 ± 4.13 ml, p < 0.001). Wound infection rates were 6.7% for electrocautery and 13.3% for scalpel, though this was not statistically significant (p = 0.174). Remarkably, 100% of the electrocautery group reported postoperative pain, in contrast to none in the scalpel group (p = 0.000).
Conclusion: The study concluded that electrocautery is more effective than scalpel incision in terms of incision time and blood loss, making it a preferable method for midline abdominal surgeries. However, the higher incidence of postoperative pain in the electrocautery group warrants further investigation.

Background: Ascites, the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, poses significant diagnostic challenges, particularly in differentiating between malignancy-related ascites (MRA) and non-malignant ascites (NMA). This differentiation is critical for appropriate clinical management.
Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of ascitic fluid cholesterol levels in distinguishing MRA from NMA.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 48 patients with ascites, divided equally into Group A (MRA) and Group B (NMA). Diagnostic paracentesis was performed, and 20 ml of ascitic fluid was collected for analysis. Cholesterol levels were measured using the Zaks method. Demographic data were recorded, and statistical analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U-test, with a p-value of 0.05 set for statistical significance.
Results: Both groups had an equal gender distribution (12 males and 12 females in each), and the mean ages were 60.3 ± 19.1 years for Group A and 60.8 ± 17.9 years for Group B. The mean cholesterol level in ascitic fluid was significantly higher in Group B (189.9 ± 29.9 mg%) compared to Group A (167.73 ± 26.87 mg%), with mean standard deviations of 91.8 ± 12.4 and 20.4 ± 9.1, respectively. The p-values for gender distribution and age differences were <0.001.
Conclusion: The study demonstrated that cholesterol levels in ascitic fluid are a reliable biomarker for differentiating between MRA and NMA. Higher cholesterol levels were associated with non-malignant cases, offering a non-invasive, cost-effective diagnostic tool in clinical settings.
