Authors: Bala Dr. K.R. Lohita , Sewalkar Dr. Manali , Shah Dr. Sehal , Keerthana Dr. Meka
Published: April 2022

Background: Meconium stained amniotic fluid has been considered a sign of fetal distress in presentations other than breech and associated with poor fetal outcome but others considered meconium passage by fetus as physiological phenomenon and produces environmental hazards to fetus before birth. Such magnitude of different opinion was the object behind taking up of this study. Aims and objectives: To study maternal risk factors responsible for meconium stained amniotic fluid and its correlation with the fetal outcome in terms of morbidity and mortality. Meterial and methods: 100 women in labour with meconium stained amniotic fluid studied considering the inclusion criteria in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni. Cases divided into two -‘thin’ and ‘thick’ meconium stained group. Maternal and Fetal monitoring, uterine contraction assessed and Apgar score, birth weight, resuscitation of baby noted. All babies of both group followed up to first week neonatal life. Results: In our study, among 100 cases, 45% of the cases had thin meconium and 55% had thick meconium. Increased incidence of meconium staining was seen in crossed dates. The other risk factors were hypertension, anemia, oligohydramnios, IUGR. 56% went in for cesarean section due to intrapartum fetal distress. 33% of the cases went into NICU in view of low APGAR score due to birth asphyxia and meconium aspiration syndrome. Perinatal death was seen in 4 cases, one due to birth asphyxia and the other three due to MAS. Conclusion: Based on this study we conclude that meconium stained amniotic fluid is associated with increased incidence of caesarean section, low APGAR score, meconium aspiration syndrome and increased NICU admission.

Published: April 2022

Background: In the first half of 2020 COVID-19 disease has already converted into a global pandemic. Various treatment options were being tried all over the world. The ROX index (Respiratory rate – Oxygenation), defined as the ratio of peripheral oxygen saturation and fraction of inspired oxygen, to respiratory rate, is a simple bedside test to predict failure of HFNO Therapy and need for MV. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of the ROX index for Predicting the failure of HFNO Therapy and need for Intubation in Patients of COVID-19 Pneumoniawith type I respiratory failure. Methods: An observational study of consecutive patients admitted in ICU of the department of Anesthesiology, critical care and pain management in Govt. Medical college Srinagar (J&K) over the period of six months with moderate tosevere type I respiratory failure treated with High Flow Nasal OxygenTherapy (HFNOT). One hundred and thirty four RT-PCR positive COVID-19 patients were enrolled. The following data were collected: medical history, clinical classification of COVID-19 infection, the ROX index measured daily and the outcome assessment. Results: We performed this observational study on 134RT-PCR positive COVID-19 patients. 70 (52.23%) patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 infection were intubated, 60% of them third day of admission, only 35% patients with moderate COVID-19 infection required intubation. Presence of comorbidities was directly associated with ROX index. At intubation, median (min-max) of ROX and PO2/FiO2 ratio was 4.02 (2.99–5.10) and 88.10 (58–106.15), respectively. ROX 1, 2, 3 indices were significantly as¬sociated with intubation (p < 0.001 for each of them). COVID-19 clinical classification was sig¬nificantly associated with intubation (p < 0.001). Conclusion: ROX index is a valuable, noninvasive tool to evaluate patients with moderate to severehypoxemic respiratory failure in COVID-19 treated with HFNOT. ROX is a simple noninvasive promising ......

The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) implies the intensification of the greenhouse effect, since from a quantitative point of view it is the most responsible for the process. The result of this effect is the disturbance of the energy balance between the earth and the atmosphere, causing climate change on the planet. There is the possibility of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere through planting with forest species, combined with sustainable reforestation and afforestation techniques in areas that have suffered human disturbance. In this context, our goal is to evaluate the potential for carbon sequestration and fixation in three forest fragments in the Tottori friendship forest in the City of São Paulo at eight years of age for 33 forest species. The species were grouped into four distinct groups, with distinct main characteristics. However, it was observed that 28 from 35 species do not present an outstanding characteristic for the grouping. The other seven species stood out for presenting dendrometric characteristics with carbon sequestration and fixation, specifically Clitoria faichirdina and Samanea saman. Among the characteristics that are most related to carbon sequestration and fixation were DBH, Stem volume and total volume, wood density was the characteristic that was least correlated with the others evaluated. It is recommended that an assessment be carried out at older ages to verify whether the grouping and values of carbon sequestration and fixation change over time, and possibly explain how the botanical family of a given species can influence carbon sequestration and fixation and plantations of forest fragments.

Published: April 2022

A Floresta Nacional de Ipanema (FNI), além de sua importância ambiental e histórica, é um relevante atrativo turístico regional. A demanda social por mais e melhores atividades recreacionais em contato com a natureza na UC aumentou nas últimas décadas e culminou em um projeto de abertura de vias de escalada de forma sustentável na FNI. A execução do projeto é fruto de um trabalho conjunto do Instituto Manacá com o ICMBio, e teve apoio financeiro da SOS Mata Atlântica. Para execução do projeto, foram mapeadas área com potencial para escalada no Morro Araçoiaba e áreas de ocorrência ou nidificação do urubu-rei (Sarcoramphus papa), buscando identificar locais apropriados para implementação de vias de escalada que não impactassem no comportamento da espécie. Após essa etapa, foram realizadas diferentes atividades para estruturar a atividade na FNI como capacitação dos condutores, implantação de vias de escalada e abertura e sinalização de trilhas, elaboração do plano de uso público para prática de escalada, elaboração de um guia digital para os escaladores, entre outros produtos e serviços. Dos 17 setores de escalada mapeados, foram implantados 5, com diferentes vias de escalada em cada setor. Após a abertura dos setores de escalada, notou-se a presença contínua de escaladores na FNI e a maior parte desse público avaliou o atrativo como excelente ou bom. O desafio é continuar monitorando os impactos da atividade e envolvendo a comunidade de escaladores na gestão da FNI e na solução de possíveis problemas ocasionados pela atividade.

Viabilidad del uso de vidrio recuperado en la producción de cerámica. Una propuesta orientada por la ecoeficiencia, la economía circular y la sustentabilidad
Authors: Hernández González Jaime Miguel , Mendoza Cuenca José Leandro , González Castillo Octavio Francisco
Published: April 2022

En esta investigación se realizaron pruebas para corroborar la viabilidad de integrar vidrio considerado un residuo, en el proceso de fabricación de cerámica, y así disminuir tanto el uso de materias primas vírgenes, como el consumo de energéticos. Se recuperó y procesó vidrio de botellas de un solo uso para integrarlo en la formulación de compuestos cerámicos. Se utilizó el enfoque de la ecoeficiencia para comparar los resultados obtenidos, y así configurar procedimientos que se integraron a la propuesta planteada. Debido a que cada comunidad alfarera dispone de una materia prima con características propias, que le son dadas de acuerdo al entorno particular en el que se desarrollan, fueron seleccionadas dos arcillas, cuyas muestras se ubicaron en los extremos de las características de un material óptimo para confeccionar piezas cerámicas: a) una arcilla con alto grado de plasticidad y b) una tierra rojiza con alto contenido de hierro. Las pruebas de plasticidad, encogimiento, porosidad y resistencia a la deformación se realizaron con un compuesto cerámico que contenía tierra, arcilla y vidrio molido en diferentes proporciones, para comparar sus propiedades después de un proceso de cocción. Los resultados muestran la factibilidad de reutilizar residuos de vidrio al incorporar éstos en el proceso de fabricación de cerámica, logrando obtener piezas de características adecuadas, al tiempo que: a) se disminuye, hasta en 20%, el consumo de arcillas y b) se promueve una mayor eficiencia energética del proceso de cocción: a la misma temperatura, las muestras a las que se ha agregado el vidrio registraron una disminución en el punto de sinterización, lo que representa un ahorro en el consumo de energía.

La mystique à l’épreuve de l’absence de Dieu dans le contexte de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le cas de Simone Weil et d’Etty Hillesum
Authors: Gillouard Pierre
Published: April 2022

À partir de l’étude des écrits de Simone Weil et d’Etty Hillesum rédigés au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Pierre Gillouard entend cerner les caractéristiques d’un moment inédit de l’histoire de la mystique où l’expérience de la présence de Dieu est irréductiblement associée à l’épreuve de son absence dans les évènements de ce monde. Si ce lien entre l’expérience de l’absence et celle de la présence fait écho à l’image classique de la « nuit obscure » de Jean de la Croix, sa conceptualisation tant chez Simone Weil que chez Etty Hillesum révèlent deux traits émergents qui rompent avec la tradition mystique antérieure. D’une part, l’épreuve de l’absence n’est plus vécue comme une peine purifiante infligée par Dieu lui-même mais plutôt comme l’épreuve de la réalité contemporaine où Dieu est reconnu comme l’Absent par excellence. D’autre part, l’expérience de la présence ne met pas fin à celle de l’absence, de telle manière qu’on peut parler d’une concomitance de l’absence et de la présence de Dieu dans l’expérience mystique au xx e  siècle.
« L’Amérique post-Trump » ?
Authors: Douzet Frédérick
Published: April 2022

« L’Amérique post-Trump ». L’expression a fleuri au lendemain de l’investiture de Joe Biden comme président des États-Unis en janvier 2021 alors que le mandat de Donald Trump venait de s’achever par un épisode inédit de contestation des résultats de l’élection présidentielle par le président déchu. Un climat de violence inouïe concluait quatre années d’une présidence non conventionnelle et pleine de rebondissements sous la conduite d’une personnalité pour le moins atypique. Le vocable « post-Trump » est riche de représentations, mais aussi de questionnements. Il véhicule tout d’abord l’idée de rupture, celle de l’avant et de l’après-Trump. Donald Trump a été le révélateur d’un mouvement de fond qui le précédait, mais il en a aussi été le catalyseur, exacerbant tout au long de son mandat les fractures extra­ordinaires – raciales, sociales et territoriales – qui traversent la société américaine. C’est la deuxième question que soulève l’expression « post-Trump » : quelle a été l’influence réelle de son mandat sur le pays ? Et surtout, quels en seront les effets durables ? Ce numéro de la revue Hérodote distingue un certain nombre de phénomènes qui se sont intensifiés ou qui ont émergé sous sa présidence, au premier rang desquels l’aggravation de la polarisation politique.

The rapid spread of highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants combined with slowing pace of vaccination in Fall 2021 created uncertainty around the future trajectory of the epidemic in King County, Washington, USA. We analyzed the benefits of offering vaccination to children ages 5–11 and expanding the overall vaccination coverage using mathematical modeling. We adapted a mathematical model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, calibrated to data from King County, Washington, to simulate scenarios of vaccinating children aged 5–11 with different starting dates and different proportions of physical interactions (PPI) in schools being restored. Dynamic social distancing was implemented in response to changes in weekly hospitalizations. Reduction of hospitalizations and estimated time under additional social distancing measures are reported over the 2021–2022 school year. In the scenario with 85% vaccination coverage of 12+ year-olds, offering early vaccination to children aged 5–11 with 75% PPI was predicted to prevent 756 (median, IQR 301–1434) hospitalizations cutting youth hospitalizations in half compared to no vaccination and largely reducing the need for additional social distancing measures over the school year. If, in addition, 90% overall vaccination coverage was reached, 60% of remaining hospitalizations would be averted and the need for increased social distancing would almost certainly be avoided. Our work suggests that uninterrupted in-person schooling in King County was partly possible because reasonable precaution measures were taken at schools to reduce infectious contacts. Rapid vaccination of all school-aged children provides meaningful reduction of the COVID-19 health burden over this school year but only if implemented early. It remains critical to vaccinate as many people as possible to limit the morbidity and mortality associated with future epidemic waves.

The cancer cells could be celled biomass without normal cellular regulation. They bypass most of the signaling pathways leading to programmed cell division. On the other hand, the embryos are highly regulated, giving rise to the whole organism based on the planned regulation. Understanding the bridge concepts between them might be an interventional art for discovering valuable cancer drugs. The present review highlighted the most similarities between them and recent literary works.
A measure model for the spread of viral infections with mutations
Authors: Gong Xiaoqian , Piccoli Benedetto
Published: April 2022

Genetic variations in the COVID-19 virus are one of the main causes of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020 and 2021. In this article, we aim to introduce a new type of model, a system coupled with ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and measure differential equation (MDE), stemming from the classical SIR model for the variants distribution. Specifically, we model the evolution of susceptible \begin{document}$ S $\end{document} and removed \begin{document}$ R $\end{document} populations by ODEs and the infected \begin{document}$ I $\end{document} population by a MDE comprised of a probability vector field (PVF) and a source term. In addition, the ODEs for \begin{document}$ S $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ R $\end{document} contains terms that are related to the measure \begin{document}$ I $\end{document}. We establish analytically the well-posedness of the coupled ODE-MDE system by using generalized Wasserstein distance. We give two examples to show that the proposed ODE-MDE model coincides with the classical SIR model in case of constant or time-dependent parameters as special cases.
An SIR–like kinetic model tracking individuals' viral load
Authors: Marca Rossella Della , Loy Nadia , Tosin Andrea
Published: April 2022

In classical epidemic models, a neglected aspect is the heterogeneity of disease transmission and progression linked to the viral load of each infected individual. Here, we investigate the interplay between the evolution of individuals' viral load and the epidemic dynamics from a theoretical point of view. We propose a stochastic particle model describing the infection transmission and the individual physiological course of the disease. Agents have a double microscopic state: a discrete label, that denotes the epidemiological compartment to which they belong and switches in consequence of a Markovian process, and a microscopic trait, measuring their viral load, that changes in consequence of binary interactions or interactions with a background. Specifically, we consider Susceptible–Infected–Removed–like dynamics where infectious individuals may be isolated and the isolation rate may depend on the viral load–sensitivity and frequency of tests. We derive kinetic evolution equations for the distribution functions of the viral load of the individuals in each compartment, whence, via upscaling procedures, we obtain macroscopic equations for the densities and viral load momentum. We perform then a qualitative analysis of the ensuing macroscopic model. Finally, we present numerical tests in the case of both constant and viral load–dependent isolation control.
Complementors and innovation
Authors: Habets Matheus J.M.
Published: April 2022

A lot of innovations arise not from any single individual or single organization but instead of collaborative efforts of multiple individuals or organizations. This often faces difficult decisions and might result in losing (partly) control over core processes, the lost of know-how, and shared rewards. At the other hand collaboration creates opportunities that enable learning, more scale, faster development times and shared risks (Gulati, 1998; Gulati, Nohria, & Zaheer, 2000; Powell, Koput, & Smith-Doerr, 1996). The increasing amount of research in business relationships is able to emphasize the contribution to innovation and is argued in several themes.
How university incubators may be overprotective and hindering the success of the young firm: Findings from a preliminary study
Authors: Trott Paul , Scholten Victor , Hartmann Dap
Published: April 2022

This paper investigates to what extent university spin-offs benefit from their parent organization. Drawing on the resource based view and social capital theory we identify the support factors that may turn to interference with the spinoffs business goals. This study has a case study approach and data is collected among university spin-offs at the TU Delft. Preliminary findings provide insight in the extent to which support is valuable and when it can hamper the progress of the spin-off creation. Understanding the dynamics of the support can help improve the spin-off incubation programs.
Resource scarce intensive strategies in the early internationalization of born globals
Authors: Sasi Viveca
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this paper is to explore how Born Globals solve the resource scarcity problem typical for them. In this paper we will discuss how International New Ventures or Born Globals can increase their internationalization pace with the selection of resource scarce strategies. Our underlying assumption is that with the selection of suitable strategy, the Born Global can contribute to a decreased liability of foreignness and resource scarcity, and to an increased speed of internationalization. Based on the literature we are reviewing resource acquisition strategies, and three different resource scarce strategies, 1) an externalization strategy, including a co-option strategy, 2) a low entry mode strategy, and 3) an Internet strategy.
An exploratory study on manufacturing strategy formulation in start-up companies
Authors: Lim Sirirat Sae , Platts Ken , Minshall Tim
Published: April 2022

In the UK, as more traditional manufacturing is outsourced to lower-cost countries, the development of new high-tech manufacturing firms is increasingly perceived as important for sustaining a competitive UK manufacturing base. Early in their lifecycle, start-ups are vulnerable and prone to failure. Mistakes made in critical decisions regarding entry into manufacturing can significantly impact the survival of the firm. Developing the most appropriate strategy is probably more critical in start-up companies than in established organizations, yet little research has addressed this area. This paper reports research into the development of manufacturing strategy in start-up companies. The paper first reviews the literature and then presents findings from nine case studies of start-up companies, showing the nature and timing of the key strategic decisions that were taken, and examining the issues and problems encountered. Using the results from the cases, and the concepts of development tasks and strategic decision areas taken from the literature, a conceptual framework for strategy formulation in such companies is developed. The paper concludes by discussing the use of the framework, and suggesting how it might be operationalised to provide assistance to operational managers in start-up companies.
Sensing, monitoring and control for laser based welding of aluminium sheets
Authors:   , Aalderink Benno J.
Published: April 2022

Weight reduction is important in the automotive industry. To achieve this, Tailor Welded Blanks (TWB’s) are used. Good examples are body panels consisting of sheets which are welded together and formed into the desired shape. TWB’s are thicker at highly loaded places and thinner in other areas. In contrast to steel, aluminium TWB’s have been introduced only recently. The forming of the sheets poses high requirements on the welds. Laser welding has the potential to produce these strong, yet deformablewelds.

Published: April 2022

From 6 to 10 April 2021, the 12th International Congress on the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (ICAANE) took place remotely and was broadcast from the University of Bologna, Italy. Within the conference, Barbara Bolognani and Nadeshda Bladt Knudsen organized a workshop entitled “Standardising Creativity. Analytical Tools for the Study of Clay Figurines in the Mediterranean and Near East”. The workshop was part of the thematic session no. 3 “Hammering the material world. Characterization of material culture, processes and technologies” and was held under the auspices of the Association for Coroplastic Studies (ACoST), with the kind support and presence of the group’s founder and president, Jaimee Uhlenbrock. The workshop involved thirteen coroplastic specialists from eight different countries and thirteen affiliated institutions. The principal focus of the workshop was on Mediterranean and Near Eastern clay figurines. The aim was to give voice to wide-ranging and inclusive aspects of terracotta figurine studies that resonate with all researchers in this field, irrespective of geographic region or archaeological period.
Archives numériques aborigènes, parenté et création
Authors: De Largy Healy Jessica
Published: April 2022

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, des centres d’archives aborigènes ont vu le jour dans plusieurs communautés isolées du centre et du nord de l’Australie. Le recours au numérique a permis aux membres de ces communautés de retrouver les traces de leurs ancêtres dispersées depuis les années 1920 dans les archives ethnographiques et les collections muséales australiennes et étrangères. Bénéficiant d’une politique institutionnelle propice au rapatriement numérique des sources, ce tournant archivistique aborigène s’est accompagné d’une réflexion épistémologique d’experts locaux sur les processus légitimes de transmission de ces savoirs restitués. Des controverses initiales sur la centralisation des savoirs claniques sur un même serveur, au développement de politiques complexes d’accès et d’usages de ces données, modelées sur le système de parenté (gurrutu), la numérisation des savoirs aborigènes se fait le reflet d’enjeux sociaux qui n’ont rien de virtuels. En Terre d’Arnhem, elle a généré une formidable créativité et des pratiques artistiques nouvelles dont il s’agira ici de présenter quelques exemples.
