The “Island Formation” within the Hinterland of a Port System: The Case of the Padan Plain in Italy
Authors: Lupi Marino , Pratelli Antonio , Campi Federico , Ceccotti Andrea , Farina Alessandro
Published: April 2021

An “island formation” is a region within the hinterland of a port which is served by another port. Some regions of southern Europe, although located within the hinterland of some Mediterranean ports, are “island formations” of northern range ports (namely, northern European ports between Le Havre and Hamburg): an example is the Padan Plain, in northern Italy, which is currently, although only partially, an “island formation” of northern range ports. Actually, a relevant number of TEUs, which have origin or destination in the Padan Plain, and have been unloaded from ships operating deep-sea routes or will be loaded on them, cross northern range ports. Several sources report this number of TEUs, but there is disagreement among them. In this paper, firstly, this number of TEUs is estimated, according to scheduled rail connections between northern range ports and Italian intermodal centres/freight villages. Afterwards, an analysis of transport costs and travel times is carried out in order to determine the advantage of unloading containers (having origin in the Far East or North America and destination in the Padan Plain) through northern range ports instead of Italian ports.

Published: April 2021

Photocatalysts promised to control pollution in an environmentally benign manner, inexpensively, and with a low or cheap energy input. However, the limited chemical activity of photocatalysts has prevented their widespread use. This limitation has two important consequences; in addition to limited removal efficiency for pollution, photocatalysts may also generate unwanted byproducts due to incomplete reaction. This study focuses on the byproducts formed in the photocatalytic degradation of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) on titanium dioxide (TiO2), using a continuous flow reactor and detection via proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry. TiO2, activated carbon (AC), TiO2/AC (1:1) and TiO2/AC (1:5) were tested using either a laser-driven light source or LED lamps at 365 nm. The samples were characterized using a N2-BET surface area and pore size distributions, Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-ray Diffraction, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, which confirmed that TiO2 was successfully coated on activated carbon without unexpected phases. TiO2 and activated carbon showed different removal mechanisms for DMS. The maximum yield of formaldehyde, 11.4%, was observed for DMS reacting on a TiO2/AC (1:5) composite operating at a DMS removal efficiency of 31.7% at 50 ∘C. In addition to formaldehdye, significant products included acetone and dimethyl disulfide. In all, observed byproducts accounted for over half of the DMS material removed from the airstream. The TiO2/AC (1:5) and TiO2/AC (1:1) composites have a lower removal efficiency than TiO2, but a higher yield of byproducts. Experiments conducted from 20 ∘C to 70 ∘C showed that as temperature increases, the removal efficiency decreases and the production of byproducts increases even more. This is attributed both to decreased surface activity at high temperatures due to increased recombination of reactive species, and to the decreased residence time of volatile compounds on a hot surface. This study shows that potentially dangerous byproducts are formed by photocatalytic reactors because the reaction is incomplete under the conditions generally employed.

Authors: Metwally Ahmed Hosny Saleh , Chang Maiga , Wang Yining , Yousef Ahmed Mohamed Fahmy
Published: April 2021

There is a growing body of literature that recognizes the importance of applying gamification in educational settings. This research developed an application to gamify students’ homework to address the concern of the students’ inability to complete their homework. This research aims to investigate students’ performance in doing their homework, and reflections and perceptions of the gameful experience in gamified homework exercises. Based on the data gathered from experimental and control groups (N = 84) via learning analytics, survey, and interview, the results show a high level of satisfaction according to students’ feedback. The most noticeable finding to extract from the analysis is that students can take on a persona, earn points, and experience a deeper sense of achievement through doing the gamified homework. Moreover, the students, on the whole, are likely to be intrinsically motivated whenever the homework is attributed to factors under their own control, when they consider that they have the expertise to be successful learners to achieve their desired objectives, and when they are interested in dealing with the homework for learning, not just achieving high grades.
A Proposed Theoretical Approach for the Estimation of Seismic Structural Vulnerability of Wastewater Treatment Plants
Authors: Kerpelis Ploutarchos N. , Golfinopoulos Spyridon K. , Alexakis Dimitrios E.
Published: April 2021

The assessment of seismic vulnerability is critical for lifelines such as wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) because failures may result in environmental degradation, deterioration of water quality and human diseases development. The main scope of this research is the testing and application of a rapid, simple methodology for assessing the seismic structural vulnerability (SSV) of WTPs (according to the qualitative method Rapid Visual Screening), using structural variables as indices of these infrastructures. An original new method involving the assessment of the SSV of thirteen steps (four for a sample set of WTPs and nine for an individual one) is introduced following systematic literature retrieval. The analysis highlights twenty one factors that may determine the SSV of WTPs: three factors involving general characteristics, five factors involving seismicity and geotechnical data, six factors involving technical data (including structural data) and seven additional factors about WTPs’ materials (concrete and the steel reinforcement of concrete frames). The structural data is analyzed to six additional factors. The implementation of the proposed methodology constitutes a simple, rapid methodological approach for assessing the SSV of WTPs using unique factors that were pinpointed and identified for the first time in this study.
A Postoperative Displacement Measurement Method for Femoral Neck Fracture Internal Fixation Implants Based on Femoral Segmentation and Multi-Resolution Frame Registration
Authors: Liu Kaifeng , Nagamune Kouki , Oe Keisuke , Kuroda Ryosuke , Niikura Takahiro
Published: April 2021

Femoral neck fractures have a high incidence in the geriatric population and are associated with high mortality and disability rates. With the minimally invasive nature, internal fixation is widely used as a treatment option to stabilize femoral neck fractures. The fixation effectiveness and stability of the implant is an essential guide for the surgeon. However, there is no long-term reliable evaluation method to quantify the implant’s fixation effect without affecting the patient’s behavior and synthesizing long-term treatment data. For the femur’s symmetrical structure, this study used 3D convolutional networks for biomedical image segmentation (3D-UNet) to segment the injured femur as a mask, aligned computerized tomography (CT) scans of the patient at different times after surgery and quantified the displacement in the specified direction using the generated 3D point cloud. In the experimental part, we used 10 groups containing two CT images scanned at the one-year interval after surgery. By comparing manual segmentation of femur and segmentation of femur as a mask using neural network, the mask obtained by segmentation using the 3D-UNet network with symmetric structure fully meets the requirements of image registration. The data obtained from the 3D point cloud calculation is within the error tolerance, and the calculated displacement of the implant can be visualized in 3D space.
Functional Connectivity in Developmental Dyslexia during Speed Discrimination
Authors: Taskov Tihomir , Dushanova Juliana
Published: April 2021

A universal signature of developmental dyslexia is literacy acquisition impairments. Besides, dyslexia may be related to deficits in selective spatial attention, in the sensitivity to global visual motion, speed processing, oculomotor coordination, and integration of auditory and visual information. Whether motion-sensitive brain areas of children with dyslexia can recognize different speeds of expanded optic flow and segregate the slow-speed from high-speed contrast of motion was a main question of the study. A combined event-related EEG experiment with optic flow visual stimulation and functional frequency-based graph approach (small-world propensity ϕ) were applied to research the responsiveness of areas, which are sensitive to motion, and also distinguish slow/fast -motion conditions on three groups of children: controls, untrained (pre-D) and trained dyslexics (post-D) with visual intervention programs. Lower ϕ at θ, α, γ1-frequencies (low-speed contrast) for controls than other groups represent that the networks rewire, expressed at β frequencies (both speed contrasts) in the post-D, whose network was most segregated. Functional connectivity nodes have not existed in pre-D at dorsal medial temporal area MT+/V5 (middle, superior temporal gyri), left-hemispheric middle occipital gyrus/visual V2, ventral occipitotemporal (fusiform gyrus/visual V4), ventral intraparietal (supramarginal, angular gyri), derived from θ-frequency network for both conditions. After visual training, compensatory mechanisms appeared to implicate/regain these brain areas in the left hemisphere through plasticity across extended brain networks. Specifically, for high-speed contrast, the nodes were observed in pre-D (θ-frequency) and post-D (β2-frequency) relative to controls in hyperactivity of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which might account for the attentional network and oculomotor control impairments in developmental dyslexia.

Published: April 2021

The RAV family is part of the B3 superfamily and is one of the most abundant transcription factor families in plants. Members have highly conserved B3 or AP2 DNA binding domains. Although the RAV family genes of several species have been systematically identified from genome-wide studies, there has been no comprehensive study to identify rice RAV family genes. Here, we identified 15 genes of the RAV family in the rice genome and analyzed their phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, conserved domains, and chromosomal distribution. Based on domain similarity and phylogenetic topology, rice RAV transcription factors were phylogenetically clustered into four groups. qRT-PCR analyses showed that expression of these RAV genes was significantly up-regulated or down-regulated by plant hormone treatments, including BL, NAA, IAA, MeJA, and SA. Most of the rice RAV genes were dramatically down-regulated in response to rice stripe virus (RSV) and mostly up-regulated in response to Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV). These results suggest that the rice RAV genes are involved in diverse signaling pathways and in varied responses to virus infection.
The Effect of Social Behavior on Residential Water Consumption
Authors: Morales Martínez Daniel , Gori Maia Alexandre
Published: April 2021

We analyze how residential water consumption is influenced by the consumption of households belonging to the same social group (peer effect). Analyses are based on household-level data provided by the Brazilian Household Budget Survey and use an innovative strategy that estimates the spatial dependence of water consumption while simultaneously controlling for potential sources of sample selectivity and endogeneity. The estimates of our quantile regression models highlight that, conditional on household characteristics, the greater the household water consumption, the greater the peer effect. In other words, the overconsumption of residential water seems to be influenced mainly by the behavior of social peers.

Transformation of Waste Stabilization Ponds: Reengineering of an Obsolete Sewage Treatment System
Authors: dos Santos Silvânia Lucas , van Haandel Adrianus
Published: April 2021

Waste Stabilization Ponds (WSPs) are commonly used for sewage treatment. These systems are composed of a series of ponds: (1) anaerobic ponds, (2) facultative ponds, and (3) maturation ponds. WSPs generally produce good-quality effluent in terms of organic matter and pathogen removal, but their application has disadvantages. The most serious disadvantages are a long retention time, the release of biogas, and the impossibility of removing nutrients. A promising alternative to the use of WSPs is replacing the anaerobic pond and facultative pond with an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, with the advantages of greatly reducing the retention time and the biogas capture. The post-treatment ponds of the UASB reactor effluent involve oxygen production and the biological consumption of carbon dioxide, which raises the pH. An experimental investigation showed that it is possible to use polishing ponds in a sequential batch regime instead of continuous flow. This modification accelerates the decay of pathogens and accelerates the increase in pH, which, in turn, facilitates the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus. This produces a good-quality effluent with low concentrations of biodegradable organic material, nutrients, and pathogens. This good-quality effluent is obtained in a system without energy consumption or auxiliary materials and with a much smaller area than conventional stabilization ponds.

Una estética del hacer. Miradas sobre las bolsas prehispánicas tardías de Doncellas (Puna septentrional argentina)
Authors: Dransart Penelope
Published: April 2021

Basado en el estudio de una selección de bolsas tejidas recuperadas de enterratorios prehispánicos tardíos durante la expedición de Eduardo Casanova a Doncellas (Puna septentrional argentina) en 1941-1943, este artículo explora las opciones estéticas hechas por las tejedoras al hilar y tejer las bolsas. La autora utiliza su propio trabajo de campo etnográfico como participante y observadora en Isluga, norte de Chile, entre pastores de llamas y alpacas, para indagar en las prácticas del pasado cuando las tejedoras utilizaban el vellón obtenido del entorno en un mundo lleno de significados. Se analiza la conformación de listas angostas y peinecillos, un diseño formado por pequeñas barras horizontales en tejido llano, así como el uso de hilos de urdimbre transpuesta y trama múltiple en un tejido con faz de urdimbre. Este análisis proporciona una pista para considerar cómo los actos de tejer pueden estar relacionados con las predilecciones estéticas de las tejedoras. Debido a que la expresión estética surgió de sus prácticas diarias, se sugiere que las tejedoras podrían haber considerado el sentimiento estético como una condición inmanente, en lugar de ser importado de un plano de experiencia elevado no diario.
Bajar a servir en la ciudad de Jujuy. Servicios ciudadanos y resistencia indígena en la temprana República (1840-1860)
Authors: Fandos Cecilia A.
Published: April 2021

En la conformación del orden liberal del siglo XIX, el territorio de la Puna en la provincia de Jujuy presenta como faz ineludible de análisis la articulación de los grupos indígenas en el proceso de construcción de los estados republicanos. La composición de ese orden generó conflictos, negociaciones, adaptaciones en muchos frentes, y provocó la reconfiguración de las relaciones sociales de estos ámbitos rurales, entre ellos las nuevas obligaciones militares impuestas a la flamante ciudadanía. Considerando este campo temático, analizamos la instauración y funcionamiento de la normativa establecida respecto de los servicios militares para la población de la Puna. Retomamos el estudio de la llamada y tratada “contribución indigenal” (1840) y determinamos la reedición de este impuesto con un gravamen menos conocido por la historiografía: la exención personal (1863). Nos proponemos establecer las circunstancias históricas que pesaron en la sanción de ambas reglamentaciones, comparar ambas experiencias y proyectar sus consecuencias. Trabajamos con distintos repositorios del Archivo Histórico de Jujuy y del Archivo de la Legislatura de la Provincia de Jujuy.
Tiempos de destape: sexo, cultura y política en la Argentina de los ochenta
Authors: Manzano Valeria
Published: April 2021

El “destape” fue el término con el que se conoció en la Argentina de los tempranos ochenta a la creciente exhibición de, y debate sobre, temas e imágenes considerados prohibidos o difíciles de tratar, que iban desde los ilícitos económicos durante la dictadura hasta la denominada cuestión de los desaparecidos para llegar al recorte que finalmente tomó: el sexo. En tal sentido, el “destape” estaba atravesado por fenómenos transnacionales. En primer lugar, se trató de una actualización de la cultura sexual argentina luego de los años más dramáticos de la censura impuesta por la última dictadura. Esa actualización fue respecto a dinámicas que, iniciadas en la década de 1960, se intensificaron en la siguiente, a saber, la creciente exhibición de (semi) desnudos femeninos en publicidades gráficas y televisivas; la tematización de contenidos sexuales y la incorporación de escenas de sexo explícito en el cine comercial y en teatro; y fundamentalmente la consolidación de la industria de la pornografía que ingresó intensamente en la cultura sexual argentina recién en la década de 1980. En segundo lugar, el “destape” estaba mediado por la interpretación doméstica de los “destapes” en otras sociedades post-autoritarias, notablemente la España post-franquista. De este último caso, se retomó un término—el “destape”—y una serie de categorías que permitían dotar de sentidos a las relaciones entre sexo, cultura y política en un contexto que se entreveía como transicional, o de apertura.

Purpose: Vascular changes have been observed among glaucoma patients, but it is not yet known whether these vascular changes occur primary or secondary to glaucomatous damage. In this study, a theoretical mathematical model of the retinal vasculature is applied to a set of oximetry data obtained from healthy individuals and glaucoma patients and is used to propose possible explanations for the clinically observed increases in venous blood oxygen saturation in advanced glaucoma patients.Methods: Given clinical measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP), mean arterial pressure and arterial blood oxygen saturation from healthy persons and advanced (visual field mean defect (MD) ≥ 10 dB) primary open angle glaucoma (POAG, IOP > 21 mmHg) patients and advanced normal tension glaucoma (NTG, IOP ≤ 21 mmHg)patients, the model is used to predict the oxygen demand or Krogh cylinder tissue width that would yield the clinically-measured venous oxygen saturation in each population.Results: A decrease in retinal tissue oxygen demand (M0), an impairment in blood flow autoregulation, or a decrease in Krogh cylinder tissue width (d) can independently lead to increased venous saturation. The model predicts that a decrease in M0 or a decrease in d is more likely to yield the increased venous saturation levels observed in POAG patients, while impairing blood flow autoregulation with no change in M0 or d is more likely to yield the increased venous saturation levels observed in NTG patients.Conclusions: The combined theoretical and clinical model predictions suggest that the mechanisms leading to increased venous saturation might differ between POAG and NTG patients. The model predictions are used to hypothesize that a decrease in oxygen demand might be more relevant to the increase in venous saturation observed in advanced POAG, while impairment in autoregulation mechanisms might be more relevant to the increase in venous saturation observed in advanced NTG.

Published: April 2021

The formation and stability of emulsions in vitrectomized eyes is linked to the properties of the silicone oil-aqueous humor interface, in particular the surface tension. In the presence of natural surfactants, such as serum and plasma, the value of the surface tension is likely to change, but little quantitative information is presently available.To this end, we perform accurate experiments measuring the interfacialproperties of the Siluron 1000 (Fluoron GmbH, Ulm, Germany) silicone oil with an aqueous solution in the presence of endogenous-like proteins. It is found that the surface tension is significantly reduced when physiologically realistic concentrations are used. Moreover, the values obtained for the dilational viscoelastic modulus are compatible with the formation of stable emulsions.

Authors: Rossi Tommaso , Querzoli Giorgio , Angelini Giampiero , Rossi Alessandro , Malvasi Carlo , Landi Laura , Telani Serena , Ripandelli Guido
Published: April 2021

Purpose: Intraocular pressure (IOP) during pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) decreases as aspiration generates flow, a phenomenon known as head loss. Since direct measurement of the IOP during surgery is impractical, currently, available compensating systems infer IOP by measuring infusion flow rate and estimating corresponding pressure drop. The purpose of the present paper is to propose and validate a physically based algorithm of the infusion pressure drop as a function of flow.

Methods: Complete infusion lines (20G, 23G, 25G and 27G) were set up and primed. The infusion bottle was set at incremental heights and flow rate measured 10 times and recorded as mean Å} SD. Overall head loss (OHL) was defined, according to hydraulics laws, as the sum of frictional head loss (FHL; i.e., pressure drop due to friction along tubing) and exit head loss (EHL). The latter is equal to the kinetic energy of the exiting flow through the trocar (FKE = V2/2g). A 2nd degree polynomial equation (i.e., ΔP = aQ2 + bQ, where ΔP is the pressure drop, or OHL, and Q is the volumetric flow) was derived for each gauge and compared to experimental data 2nd order polynomial best-fit curve.

Results: Ninety-seven percent of the pressure values for all gauges predicted using the derived equation fell within 2 SD of the mean difference yielding a Bland-Altman statistical significance when compared to 91% of best fit curve.

Conclusion: The derived equations accurately predicted the head loss for each given infusion line gauge and can help infer IOP during PPV.

Evaluation of clinical features and treatment responses in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia: A single center experience
Authors: GÖÇER Mesut , KURTOĞLU Erdal
Published: April 2021

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder that leads to an increase in myeloid cells, erythroid series, and platelets in peripheral blood and causes pronounced myeloid hyperplasia in the bone marrow. The treatment and follow-up criteria in patients with CML have changed significantly in the recent years. In the pre-imatinib period, CML has been treated with hydroxyurea, interferon therapy, chemotherapy, and most effectively, allogenic stem cell transplantation. The addition of imatinib mesylate, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, to the treatment regime provided a superior overall survival rate compared to previous standard treatments. In this study, our aim is to demonstrate the demographic characteristics, clinical features, treatment and follow-up strategies, response status, and general survival rates of CML patients treated in our clinic.
Materials and Methods: 110 patients who were diagnosed with chronic phase CML during 2003–2019 were included in this study. The demographic characteristics and clinical findings including laboratory values, ultrasound findings, and bone marrow pathology results were evaluated retrospectively from their medical records
Results: Among the 110 patients included, 59 (53.6%) were male, and 51 (46.4%) were female, and the median age was 49.5 (18–82). At the time of diagnosis, only 32 (29.0%) patients were symptomatic, 71 (64.5%) had splenomegaly, and 51 (46.4%) had hepatomegaly. All patients were given 400 mg of imatinib as first-line therapy. With imatinib treatment, the rates of complete hematologic response (CHR), complete cytogenetic response (CyCR), and major molecular response (MMR) were 100.0%, 72.5% and 69.6%, respectively. In the follow-up, 3 (2.7%) patients were observed to progress to the blastic phase. The overall survival rate was 86.4%.
Conclusions: Imatinib has proven to be a tolerable, effective and safe agent in the first-line treatment of CML patients. Treatment choice after imatinib should take into consideration the patients' comorbidities.

A Take on Geo-informatics Systems with Pin-Codes as Atomic Unit
Authors: Gupta Siddharth , Rana Abhinav , M. Lakhsmi
Published: April 2021

Rural areas in India may not necessarily have internet connection and what if they need to know about nearest hospitals, fire stations or if a message has to be broadcasted over a large section of this area. This paper tries to solve all of these problems by implementing a pin-code based approach to map these important locations. Now a days, more advanced technologies such as GPS are more useful in solving these problems in real-time but what this paper tries to do is solve them statically where technology can’t take precedence over daily lives. It discusses a smart, fast algorithm with minimum memory overhead to solve these specific issues. Lack of data sets are a concern in this approach but to automate this we have used Image Processing to automatically detect boundaries of pin-codes on various sub-regions to form a universal Graph which can then be subjected to various algorithms like A*, DFS, BFS, Dijkstra which are local to each type of problem. This leaves scope for further research on developing models that can read images of maps more efficiently to create more accurate data sets which are accurate enough and void of longitudinal and latitudinal details.
