The composition of beach sands from the Islands of Rab and Susak (northern Adriatic) has been studied in order to determine how individual beaches are supplied with detritus. The beaches on both islands are composed of quartz dominated siliciclastic sand, with subordinate carbonate content. Three end-member heavy mineral assemblages have been identified among the studied beach sands, each one associated with a specific source rock: (1) a garnet dominated assemblage and (2) a zircon, rutile and tourmaline dominated assemblage on Rab Island, as well as (3) an assemblage dominated by unstable minerals on Susak Island. Sands from individual beaches contain one of these specific assemblages or display a mixing of two varieties. The end-member assemblages are very comparable with those of Eocene and Pleistocene sediments which crop out on the two islands, identifying them as the principal sources of detritus. Cretaceous and Eocene carbonate rocks, although present to a considerable extent in the study area, has shown to be a negligible source of sandy material. Thus, the supply of detritus to the beaches is primarily controlled by erosion of siliciclastic rocks in the immediate or nearby hinterland.

The Darnó Unit within the Zagorje-Mid-Transdanubian Megaunit is an allochtonous part of Dinarides in NE-Hungary and represents a relict of the Neotethyan accretionary complex. It contains blocks of submarine basalts of Triassic age in turbiditic sediments (olistrostrome) of Jurassic age. The lava clogged in the lime mud at the original site of volcanism and developed closely packed pillow, pillow fragment hyaloclastite breccia, and peperite facies. Interaction between the lava and the sea water produced mostly chloritic alteration of basalt and precipitation of hydrothermal calcite in amygdales, feeding channels of lava lobes and hyaloclastite breccia cements. Calcite is associated with chlorite, epidote, hematite and pyrite. Fluid inclusions in calcite infillings record conditions of fluid/rock interaction. Salinities of fluid inclusions (3.2 – 5.6 wt.% NaCl equiv. wt.%.) are close to the salinity of recent sea water and their homogenization temperatures in the range of 80 – 150oC. Fluid inclusion data support interpretation that volcanic facies represent rapidly cooled distal zones away from the submarine volcanic centre. This is also confirmed by the comparison to the volcanic and hydrothermal alteration facies of the submarine basalt lava-flow complex and associated pillow lava formation of Triassic age in the Hruškovec quarry in the Kalnik Mts., NW-Croatia. The obtained data contribute to understanding of the early history of Neotethyan evolution, i.e. dilemma about rifting or oceanization in Triassic time and offer new aspects of correlation between units of Dinaridic origin which had been displaced from their original setting by large scale Tertiary tectonic processes.
Islands of Memory. The Landscape of the (Non)Memory of the Holocaust in Polish Education from 1989 to 2015
Authors: Ambrosewicz-Jacobs Jolanta
Published: March 2022

This work by Jolanta Ambrosewicz-Jacobs is a fascinating contribution to the studies of Polish memory of the Holocaust, and particularly how it is shaped by the educational process. It is almost entirely based on results of quantitative and qualitative research conducted among young people in Poland in 2008. The goal was to assess students’ knowledge of the Holocaust, their attitude towards Jews and the scale of antisemitic convictions amongst them. The respondents replied to questions raised following the publication of Neighbors by Jan Tomasz Gross, which resulted not only in stormy debate on the participation of some Poles in the Holocaust, but also in new research on this subject. Have these new findings about the dark pages in Polish history permeated the curricula and content of school textbooks? Have they found their reflection in the consciousness of young people? Jolanta Ambrosewicz-Jacobs answers these questions in this insightful work which explores the numerous meanders of education about the Holocaust in Poland. Islands of Memory may be seen as an endorsement of non-conventional forms of educating about the Holocaust, of the local initiatives to commemorate it and the educational efforts undertaken beyond the school walls by teachers and volunteers who act as guardians of memory. We might not find their names in the headlines, but this book is very much about them. Piotr Forecki, professor of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań

Telefon, kino i cyborgi. Wzajemne relacje niesłyszenia i techniki
Authors: Zdrodowska Magdalena
Published: March 2022

Kulturowa historia relacji niesłyszenia i techniki opowiadana jest zazwyczaj wedle utartych i wielokrotnie powtarzanych scenariuszy, w których klarownie rozpisano role wynalazców, producentów i konsumentów. W opowieściach tych osoby niesłyszące ‒ podobnie jak osoby z niepełnosprawnościami w ogóle – nieodmiennie zajmują pozycję konsumentów. Związki niesłyszenia i techniki są jednak bardziej złożone i niejednoznaczne, a zakwestionowanie patologiczności niesłyszenia i uznanie, że można je traktować jako przejaw ludzkiej różnorodności, pozwala spojrzeć na technikę pod innym kątem. Niesłyszenie staje się wówczas sposobem doświadczania rzeczywistości, który pozwala między innymi w codziennych przedmiotach dostrzegać afordancje odmienne od zwyczajowo uznanych, nierzadko z korzyścią dla słyszących użytkowników. Książka Telefon, kino i cyborgi. Wzajemne relacje niesłyszenia i techniki oferuje alternatywne ujęcie kulturowej historii techniki oraz spogląda na nią z „głuchych” peryferii. Wskazuje na niesłyszących jako aktywnych i sprawczych aktorów technologicznej zmiany. Przyjęcie takiej optyki pozwala w kinie dostrzec pole bitwy o prawa obywatelskie, w telefonie ujrzeć pierwszy elektryczny aparat słuchowy, a w zaimplantowanych głuchych – cyborgi.
Mit w umyśle. Ewolucyjno-kognitywne podstawy form mitycznych
Authors: Czeremski Maciej
Published: March 2022

Główna teza tej książki głosi, że mit jest naturalną pochodną ewolucyjnie ukształtowanych sposobów działania ludzkiego umysłu. Chodzi przy tym o naturalność rozumianą nie jako coś wyćwiczonego, lecz odruchowego, związanego z predyspozycjami. Rzecz zatem w tym, że nawet współcześnie, gdy właściwie cały system sformalizowanej edukacji jest jednym wielkim treningiem w myśleniu na sposób niemityczny, jeśli tylko możemy sobie na to pozwolić, bo okoliczności nie zmuszają nas do korzystania z form myślenia wyrastających poza mit, w sposób naturalny wracamy właśnie do mitu. W pewnym sensie jesteśmy zatem niczym te czteroletnie dzieci, które – jeśli nikt nie stoi im nad głową – natychmiast zaczynają skakać i pchać palce, gdzie nie trzeba. Albo niczym Bruno z przywołanego dzieła Lewisa Carrolla – nawet mając do dyspozycji wyjaśnienia naukowe, wolimy słuchać o Świni i Akordeonie. Niniejsza książka przedstawia pewien model wyjaśniający, dlaczego tak się dzieje, pokazując, jakie elementy mentalnej architektury sprawiają, że mit jest naturalnym trybem ludzkiego myślenia o świecie, a także jak procesy ewolucyjne doprowadziły do ich powstania. Ze „Wstępu” Maciej Czeremski w swojej monografii w znacznym stopniu zrywa ze sposobami badania mitu dominującymi dotychczas w naukach społecznych i humanistycznych. Autor wprawdzie odwołuje się do bogatego dorobku nauk zajmujących się mitem (na przykład metody strukturalnej, semiotyki mitu), ale przede wszystkim korzysta z metodologii wypracowanej w ramach psychologii ewolucyjnej, zwłaszcza zaś z metody inżynierii odwrotnej. Pozwala to przenieść badania nad mitem na nowy poziom analizy oraz skoncentrować się na wyjaśnieniu (a nie przede wszystkim interpretacji) poszczególnych wymiarów mitu. Biorąc pod uwagę ograniczenia takiego podejścia, z których autor zdaje sobie sprawę, należy to przedsięwzięcie określić jako udane i nowatorskie. [… ] W oryginalny i kompetentny sposób zastosował on najnowszą wiedzę o funkcjonowaniu ludzkiego umysłu do wyjaśniania mitu, jego stałej obecności w kulturze oraz naturalnej łatwości, z jaką opowieści mityczne są tworzone, zapamiętywane, komunikowane.

Two new species of Pseudostaurosiropsis (Bacillariophyta, Fragilariophyceae) from the United States of America, with taxonomic comments on the genus
Authors: A. Morales Eduardo
Published: March 2022

Two new species of Pseudostaurosiropsis are described based on material collected from rivers in southern UnitedStates of America, P. californicus sp. nov. and P. elaboratus sp. nov. Both species have specific characters that set themapart from taxa currently ascribed to the genus. Pseudostaurosiropsis californicus sp. nov. has lanceolate valves with subrostrate, broadlyrounded apices, an axial area at the same level as the virgae in internal and external views and both are at the same levelas striae in external view, the spine tips are dentate and their growth is produced by filamentous extensions, and it hasequal-sized apical pore fields on both valve extremes. On the other hand, P. elaboratus sp. nov. has heavily silicifiedvalves, the virgae are slender than the striae in outer view and wider in inner view, it only has a single, externally occludedapical pore field on one valve extreme, and the spines have a solid core. All species within Pseudostaurosiropsis are contrastedwith one another and unique features are described for each based on literature and newly collected image datafrom type material. The genus is reconsidered and two distinguishing features are recognized: rotae externally occludingthe areolae and areolae that are funnel-shaped. These features are contrasted with those in other genera and additionalpublished species that should be included in Pseudostaurosiropsis are discussed.

With the loss of dental elements and subsequent bone resorption, the rehabilitation process in an atrophic maxilla becomes a challenge for professionals. Alternatives such as autogenous, xenogeneic and allogeneic grafts, as well as alloplastic biomaterials, have been used for bone volume gain. The technique of lifting the maxillary sinus to the posterior region of the maxilla is well described in the literature and does not present major complications. Morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) appear as adjuvants in this technique and can replace grafts or be combined with them. The objective of this study was to present the use of different materials for the reconstruction of the atrophic maxilla in order to give back to a patient the bone contour and volume she had lost. The reported case shows the employment of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2), associated with a particulate xenogeneic graft. The atrophic maxilla was reconstructed, and the indications, contraindications and possible limitations of the technique were discussed. It is possible to conclude that the technique used was satisfactory, the patient evolved well and is awaiting installation of an implant-supported prosthesis.
Rural Financial Efficiency, Agricultural Technological Progress and Agricultural Carbon Emissions: Evidence from China
Authors: Huang Hai Feng , Zhu Ni
Published: March 2022

Based on the 30-province panel data in China during 2005-2018, this paper uses the DEA-SBM model and DEA-Malmquist model to measure rural financial efficiency and agricultural technological progress respectively and then uses the mediating effect model to analyze the linear influence. The results show that rural financial efficiency and agricultural technological progress both can inhibit agricultural carbon emissions, while agricultural technological progress plays a mediating role when rural financial efficiency influences agricultural carbon emissions. What’s more, this paper uses the threshold effect model to analyze the non-linear influence. The findings reveal that when rural financial efficiency improves, the effects of rural financial efficiency and agricultural technology advances on agricultural carbon emissions shift from promoter to inhibitor.

Authors: Çolak Seda , Tekgöz Emre , Mammadov Maghrur , Çınar Muhammet , Yılmaz Sedat
Published: March 2022

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) under biological treatment.

Patients and methods: This retrospective cohort study included a total of 19 AOSD patients (13 males, 6 females; median age: 37 years; range, 28 to 52 years) who received biological drugs due to refractory disease between January 2008 and January 2020. The data of the patients were obtained from the patient files. The response to the treatment was evaluated based on clinical and laboratory assessments at third and sixth follow-up visits.

Results: Interleukin (IL)-1 inhibitor was prescribed for 13 (68.4%) patients and IL-6 inhibitor prescribed for six (31.6%) patients. Seventeen (89.5%) patients experienced clinical remission.

Conclusion: Biological drugs seem to be effective for AOSD patients who are resistant to conventional therapies. Due to the administration methods and the high costs of these drugs, however, tapering the treatment should be considered, after remission is achieved.

Published: March 2022

Twenty adult apparently healthy Muscovy ducks Cairina moschata (10 males, 10 females) were used in a study to compare between sexes blood serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total protein, albumin, and total bilirubin profiles using jugular venous blood. Comparative biometric measurements (weight, length, width and thickness) of their liver organs were also done. Total protein and albumin were significantly (P 0.05) by sex. The biometric measurements of the liver of Muscovy ducks according to sex were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in males than females. Liver biometric measurements according to lobation were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the right lobe than in the left lobe, particularly, in terms of liver lobe weight and length of both sexes of ducks while liver lobe width and thickness were statistically similar (P > 0.05) in both sexes. Therefore, sex had a significant influence on serum total protein and albumin, as well as the biometric measurements of the liver of Muscovy ducks studied.

After contact with a case of transmissible tuberculosis (TB), some of the exposed individuals may be infected and develop an immune reaction against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of the disease. The replication of mycobacteria is usually stopped within cellular structures called granulomas, whose integrity relies on a complex interplay between cells and cytokines, the most prominent of them being TNF. In case of deficiency or inhibition of the activity of TNF, the granulomas may disrupt and release the surviving mycobacteria which may multiply, disseminate and lead to active TB disease. Several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, among which rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ankylosing spondylitis and psoriasis can be treated by biological therapies acting by the inhibition of TNF or cytokines like IL-17 and IL-23. If these therapies, in particular TNF-inhibitors, are administered to people infected by Mtb, there is a risk of decreasing the integrity of granulomas and increasing the probability of mutiplication of mycobacteria and TB reactivation. Therefore, in persons with rheumatological, gastro-enterological and dermatological diseases candidate to biological therapies there is a general recommendation of screening for TB infection (TBI) at baseline. The screening should include also a search for history of prior TB or contact with TB, a test for the presence of TBI, and if scored positive, a chest X-Ray

In 1859 Bernard Riemann hypothesized that the zeros of the Zeta function only can occur on either the x axis or the line ½+ti for all values of t. This article explains why Riemann’s hypothesis (RH) is correct. 00000000000 for a complex numbers. The basic Zeta function Z(s) above was shown to be analytic for the real part of s greater than 1. Several other forms of the Zeta function were subsequently determined [1]. Attempts to verify RH has attracted many to verify the RH since 1859 without success. This article gives a proof that the RH is correct. [2] gives an extensive list of references of research articles in its list of references demonstrating the historical interest in the character of the Zeta Function. The proof of the RH is remarkably simple but requires a subtle proof given in this article.

Authors: Taher Mohamed Muthana , Saleh Shaif M. K. , Alberkani Adel A.
Published: March 2022

Air pollution from pollutant emissions has become a threat to the biological system and human health. The concentration levels and sources of heavy metals contamination were studied in deposited dust samples collected from various locations, including five different activity areas: industrial, highways, residential, mixed use and a remote area from contaminants in Aden, Yemen. Metal content of Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Co, Cr, Mn and Fe in dust was analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed high concentration levels of Cd and Pb in industrial and residential areas. Deposited dust contamination was assessed by various methods: Enrichment factor (EF), Contamination factor (CF), Degree of contamination (DC) and potential ecological index (RI). The enrichment factor indicated extremely high enrichment of Cd, Pb and Zn. High EF of Cd, Pb and Zn showed that anthropogenic sources contribute a substantial amount of these metals to dust deposited. Contamination factor analysis showed that dust samples are significantly contaminated by Cd and Pb. Individual ecological risk (Er) indicated low to high contamination of Cd, but low contamination of Pb, Cr, Cu, Co and Zn. The degree of contamination (DC) and Potential ecological risk index (RI) indicated that most of the study areas demonstrated “Moderate to considerable category” risk index. The result suggest mixed origin of pollution sources; including Man-made sources, traffic sources, and lithogenic occurrences of the metals from construction sources and road construction currently in some of the sites studied.

Published: March 2022

Design thinking is an analytic and creative process in which a person is encouraged to experiment, create and prototype models, gather feedback, and redesign. The literature has identified several characteristics (e.g., visualisation, creativity) that a good design thinker should have. Design and design thinking have been recognised as valuable contributions to business and management, and the number of higher education programmes teaching design thinking to business students, managers, and executives is increasing. Multiple definitions of design thinking, as well as a variety of perspectives, have led to some confusion about possible paths. Design, like problem solving, is a natural and widespread human activity. A design process begins with a need and discontent with the present situation, as well as a determination that something must be done to fix the problem. Many scientists, in this opinion, have been creating and behaving as designers throughout their careers, while not always being aware of or realising that they are doing so..

Applying the novel IDEA model for instructional health risk and crisis communication to explore the effectiveness of the COVID-19 crisis communication in Cameroon
Authors: Bang, PhD Henry Ngenyam
Published: March 2022

This paper utilized a new novel framework, the Initialization, Distribution, Explanation, and Action (IDEA) model, for Instructional Health Risk and Crisis Communication (IHRCC) to investigate the effectiveness of the COVID-19 crisis communication (CC) in Cameroon. This contemporary research is empirical, qualitative, exploratory, and novel in the field of CC. Based on the findings, the COVID-19 CC in Cameroon could be ranked mediocre-fair. This is informed by an analysis of the IDEA elements in the framework that reveals that “Internalization” (messages on timeliness, compassion, and impact) was poor, “Distribution” (messages, guidance/protocols, and sources/distribution of messages) and “Explanation” (accuracy of messages, updated messages, and CC languages) were fair, and “Action” (instructional messages on infection control) considered as mediocre. This paper contributes to literature in the field, including concept development in health CC. The novel IDEA framework for IHRCC can enable health crisis managers gain context and better apply best practices to health CC. A structured recommendation on how this can be done has been proffered.

Authors: Persaud, DrPH, MEA Eric , Weinstock, MS Deborah , Wright, MPH Demia S.
Published: March 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that large segments of the workforce–many of which were not previously considered or valued–are needed to keep the economy moving and critical societal functions going. From first responders to bus drivers, this expanded essential workforce needed training to build a solid knowledge of infectious disease protection practices. However, most workplaces had no existing plan or training for infectious disease exposure control.

Authors: Yap Jeffrey Boon Hui , Hew Queennie Lip Tin , Skitmore Martin
Published: March 2022

Higher education institutions (HEIs) play a crucial role in fostering quality education. This paper examines the attributes that influence student learning experiences in a quantity surveying (QS) programme in a Malaysian private HEI and uncovers the underlying factors involved. The significance of these attributes as recognised by the students, obtained through a questionnaire survey, are subsequently presented. The findings reveal that the five most important attributes are closely related to the lecturer, namely the lecturer’s preparedness, responsiveness, interpersonal and communication skills, clarity and academic experiences. An exploratory factor analysis identifies the five major underlying factors to be the quality of academic learning to relate to professionalism and competency of lecturers, quality of academic services and support facilities, interpersonal connections and external considerations, curriculum structure and physical environment and facilities. Understanding these factors could help HEIs to devise effective strategies to enhance the quality of service and programme in higher education, which can result in a greater impact on the effectiveness of contemporary QS education and the reputation of the HEI as well as fostering student satisfaction and loyalty.

Hadis İlimleri Işığında Haber Doğruluğunun Tespiti
Authors: Çelik Abdullah
Published: March 2022

Doğruluk, dürüstlük ve haberlerin doğru olarak aktarılması İslâm ahlak anlayışında inançtan sonra gelen en önemli meziyettir. Bu minvalde Müslüman âlimler özelde hadisin genelde ise haberlerin sahîhini sakiminden ayırmak amacıyla hadis usûlü ilmini geliştirmişlerdir. Hadis usûlü, nakledilen söz ve eylemin olduğu gibi aktarılmasını hedeflediği için ilk olarak habercinin güvenilirlik ve hafıza açısından tetkik edilmesini zorunlu görmektedir. Muhaddisler bu alanda titiz çalışmalar yaparak cerh ve ta‘dîl ilminde çok değerli eserler meydana getirmişlerdir. Hadis tenkidinde naklin doğruluğu açısından râvinin tetkik edilmesi dışında ölçütler de yer almaktadır. Bunlar; hadisçinin haber naklinde takip ettiği yöntem, hadis senedinde bulunan problemler veya metnin içinde bulunan kusurlardır. Bu sayılan unsurlar haberin doğruluğunu etkileyen kıstaslardır. Hadisçiler haberler hakkında hüküm verirken tespit ettikleri bu kusurlardan hareketle genellemeye gitmemektedirler. Onlar her bir haberin kendi özelinde ve kusurun derecesine göre kavramlar kullanmaktadırlar. Müslüman toplumlarında, haber ahlâkı ve doğruluğu hakkında farkındalık oluşturmak için hadis usûlü ilminin katkısı kaçınılmazdır. Bunun için de eğitim sistemimizde ve düşünce dünyamızda hadis usûlü ilminin genel kriterleri gözetilerek İslâm haber anlayışının yeniden şekillendirilmesi önem arz etmektedir.
Tasavvufta Yaratıcı Muhayyile Unsuru Olarak Himmet
Authors: İzmirli Betül
Published: March 2022

Bu makale tasavvuf düşüncesinde yaratıcı muhayyile ögesi olarak himmeti ele almıştır. Himmet en genel mânasıyla yetkin insandaki ilâhî enerjidir. Niyet, azim, kasd, cemˊiyyet, nefes gibi terimler de himmete yakın anlamda kullanılır. Himmet, Muhyiddîn İbnü’l-Arabî’nin yorum ve değerlendirmeleriyle semantik değişime uğramış ve insanın yaratıcılık yönünü ifade eden bir ıstılah hâline gelmiştir. Buna göre yetkin insan himmetiyle bir şeyler meydana getirebilir, zihninde hayâl ettiği şeyi dış dünyada var edebilir. Dolayısıyla himmetten yaratıcı muhayyilenin bir unsuru şeklinde bahsedilmeye başlanmıştır. Başta, ârif ve velî gibi tasavvuf ehlinin bir tasarrufu olarak görülen bu unsur, zamanla menkıbelerde sıklıkla tekrarlanan bir motife dönüşmüştür. Buralarda velîlerin, himmetlerini mânevî yardım, feyiz, bereket, hayra kapı açmak, şerri engellemek gibi birçok hususta kullandıkları görülür. Çalışmanın, klasik bir kavram analizi olmaktan ziyade özellikle himmet teriminin tarihsel süreçteki telakki biçimlerini tayin etmek bakımından önemli ve orijinal olduğu kanaatindeyiz. Konu fenomenolojik yaklaşım mantığıyla ele alınmış, bazı kavramların detaylı tahlili için ise kavram analizi yönteminden istifade edilmiştir.
Şiâ-İmâmiyye’nin Muhaddes ve Mütevessim Kavramlarına Bakışı
Authors: Maviş Nezir
Published: March 2022

Şiî düşüncenin özünü oluşturan nas ve tayin fikrini on iki imam inancı şeklinde sistemleştirerek temel bir iman esası olarak benimseyen İmâmiyye, imâmeti nübüvvetin devamı mahiyetinde görmekte; dolayısıyla imamlarla Hz. Peygamber’i birçok açıdan özdeşleştirmektedir. Bu anlayış neticesinde Kur’ân’da yer alan nübüvvet ve risâlet konulu âyetlerde geçen “nebî” ibaresinin yanına “imam”ı da yerleştiren İmâmiyye, naslarda geçen bütün iyi özellikleri on iki imama hasretmektedir. Bu bağlamda, olaylar üzerinde tefekkür edip akıl ve duyularını iyi kullanarak doğru tahminlerde bulunmak anlamını ifade eden ve genel anlamda tüm müttakî mü’minlerin bir özelliği olan muhaddes ile bazı ön verilerden hareketle olaylar hakkında doğru zan ve tahminlerde bulunma anlamındaki mütevessim sıfatlarını imamlara hasretmektedir. Makalemizde söz konusu kavram çiftinin anlam çerçevesi ele alınmakta, İmâmiyye’nin imanın bir esası olarak gördüğü imâmet inancıyla on iki imama hasrettiği bu kavramlar arasında; başka deyişle imam ile muhaddes ve mütevessim sıfatları arasında nasıl bir ilgi kurdukları ve bu bağlamda adı geçen ibarelere yükledikleri anlam çerçevesi araştırılmaktadır.
Strategic and Tactical Integration of Metrology in the Enterprise

Published: March 2022

Metrology has been called an infratechnology (G. Tassey, NIST), which means that it underpins most other technologies, but it is not very conspicuous or even clear for everybody in companies or organizations. This sometimes is a problem, because metrological systems, their operation, maintenance and management are left only to the technicians or operative staff. Therefore, the high level management is seldom aware of the relevance of metrology for the company, its key processes and products. This is even more common in countries or economies where most companies are transnational and mainly devoted only to manufacture, with little design and development activities in local facilities. When this is the case, management fails to make the most out of metrology for its firm and loses the opportunity to enhance their processes and products with metrology for higher quality, productivity and competitiveness. The paper will present a systemic approach developed in the consultancy service of CENAM for helping companies and organizations to integrate metrology vertically and horizontally in the whole organization. First, vertically, this approach promotes a strategic view, looking to understand the mission, vision, values and strategic objectives of the company, as well as their main strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, to involve the high level management. With this in mind, the consultant and the management make hypotheses to identify in what areas metrology could be important. Then, the tactical layer is analyzed, looking at the key processes of the company with the chief engineers of design, production, quality and maintenance. There the first hypotheses are tested, confirmed or discarded. Finally, the operative level is analyzed with the people who actually perform measurements, verifications or any other metrological activity in every critical operation. Second, horizontally, another look is given to the medium or tactical layers, from end to end, from row materials and components to final products or services. This time solutions or improvements for the metrological systems of every critical operation are suggested. Some critical factors rarely considered, but very important in this approach, are the balance and equilibrium all through the process, right uncertainties in every operation according to the process capabilities required, etc. Finally, with the solutions proposed and validated by the operative staff and medium level engineers, the consultant goes back to the top level management to present the plan for enhancing the metrological systems of the company and shows the potential impact this could have for the short, medium and long term strategy of the company. The paper will present some examples of this approach applied to SMEs and discuss the results obtained up to date.
Why Didn't the Horse Die? National Conformity Assessment Past, Present, Future
Authors:   National Cooperation for Laboratory Accreditation (NACLA), Leonard Jr. R. Dougla. ,   Laboratory Accreditation Bureau (L-A_B)
Published: March 2022

Working together for a common vision of laboratory accreditation for the United States, NACLA was formed to establish an accreditation program(s) based on the requirements of both national and international stakeholders that include specifiers, regulators, accreditation bodies, and testing/calibration labs (aka conformity assessment bodies (CABs)). The model was formed to break down barriers between stakeholders and improve confidence in the competence of Accreditation Bodies (ABs) and their accredited laboratories, including technical confidence in the results contained in reports and certificates issued by these laboratories. For the United States, recognized accreditation bodies will include a detailed scope of recognition based on the international model (ISO/IEC 17011), as well as additional specific supplemental technical requirements that meet specifier or regulatory agency requirements. For internationally recognized accreditation bodies, this means the addition of a national scope of recognition in fields of recognition for specific supplemental specifier or regulatory technical requirements. Under this model, each testing and calibration laboratory will be able to receive a single accreditation that covers both international requirements and additional technical requirements for specifiers and regulators. For specifiers and regulators, this model provides confidence that an accredited (ISO/IEC 17025) test or calibration is performed by a competent laboratory that meets the specifier and/or regulatory requirements. The vision of NACLA and its history have had a fair share of challenges. Special interests seem to take over the vision of cooperation and coordination. The horse (as reported many years back) was shot and slated to die, but with a vision and a will to survive the horse is still around doing good work for the US conformity assessment system.
Uncetainty Analysis: What is it we're uncertain of?
Authors:   Integrated Science Group, Castrup Howard , Castrup Suzanne
Published: March 2022

Recently, there has emerged a growing confusion regarding what to include in an uncertainty analysis of a measurement result and what to leave out. This paper provides guidelines for identifying error sources which are relevant to uncertainty analysis and those which are not. The guiding question in such identifications is “what is it we’re uncertain of?” This question is explored within the context of various activities with differing immediate objectives. Such activities include conformance testing, measurement decision risk analysis, capability statement development, hypothesis testing and equipment parameter tolerancing.
