Authors: Niyogi Samiksha B , Wankhade Rajan L , Gajbhiye Param D 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
In this work, the simplified forms of governing differential equations are employed to analyse the laminated composite plates subjected to buckling. Effect of orthotropic material via variation in the E1/E2 ratio on the buckling parameters is verified and corresponding results are provided. With the developments in the modern technology, composites have found a significant role in applications in aerospace industry. Under the compressive in-plane loads, the composites undergo buckling. Hence, it is crucial to observe and study the buckling characteristics of laminated composites with effect of material properties. We have obtained the results of the buckling loads of a laminated composite having a cross-ply lamination scheme of plates with simply supported and clamped boundary conditions. Effect of the orthotropic material on these parameters is studied via the present study.
A review on Electron Beam Welding process
Authors: Siddharth P N , Sathiya Narayanan C 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Electron Beam Welding is an unconventional manufacturing technique widely used in the Aerospace and Defense industries mainly due to the Narrow Fusion Zone (FZ) generated as less metal is melted which leads to less distortion and less amount of heat, as opposed to the other welding processes such as TIG welding and Arc welding. As a result, the solidification of the Weld Joint is in several orders much higher. The Electron Beam Welding process is complex in nature and is controlled by large number of parameters. Parameters such as Accelerating Voltage (Ua), Beam Current (If), Depth of Penetration (H), Beam Focal Diameter (df0) and Welding Speed (v) are part of the Electron Beam Parameters, while Thermo-physical and Chemical properties of the Material and Workpiece Thickness are part of the Parameters influencing Welding Features. This paper also reviews various optimization methods applied by researchers and finally outlines the recommendations and future trends in Electron Beam Welding.

Abstract
In today’s competitive world staying ahead with their competitors and to satisfy the customer is not an easy task. Henceforth Poultry farms are scanning for better approaches to improve industry activities. The key reason for this examination is to find an appropriate method of doing the things. Managing the production loss from small or large scale industries is a difficult task. Industry considered here carry out all the industry processes manually. Non standard documentation was followed throughout the operations hence they rely on manual data processing which lead to data redundancy and time wastage. Increase in the Lead time and the production process time which give on to decrease in productivity and increase in errors and theoretical errors. This causes a great loss to the company. Their main focus is to standardize the operations and to increase the efficiency of the overall all processes. The objective is to study the discovery and value proposition phase of a poultry firm to implement enterprise management system in functional modules. The rise in Cloud based ERP system, however, gives small and medium business to Enterprise level operators access this important business management software, unlocking new operations and tools that weren’t readily existing before. Cloud-based software allows operators to access their ERP systems through any web browser.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
In recent decades, the use of wind turbines has been successfully increasing in power generation. Various types of wind turbine configurations as well as possible blade geometries are been proposed and are still under development for extracting the maximum possible energy extraction. Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) found to have enhanced adaptable physiognomies to the unsteady wind of urban terrains. These turbines can yield electricity from the wind of any direction with low-slung cut-in wind speed. These turbines are ominously quieter than the old-fashioned HAWTs, light-weight, and can be straightforwardly unified into buildings. Hence, the main idea of the present work to numerically evaluate the design performance of a C-shaped Savonius turbine for wind-energy conversion thus obtaining a higher output. During computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations, 3 different symmetric and non-symmetric airfoils are examined. After authenticating the numerical procedure against experimental measurements, precise CFD simulations of the unsteady flow around an H-rotor Darrieus turbine have been carried out and presented here. Based on the various configuration of the H-rotor Darrieus turbine tested the DU-06-W-200 found to be capable of wind energy generation, particularly in urban areas.
Extended Drinfel’d algebras and non-Abelian duality
Authors: Sakatani Yuho 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The Drinfel’d algebra provides a method to construct generalized parallelizable spaces and this allows us to study an extended $T$-duality, known as the Poisson–Lie $T$-duality. Recently, in order to find a generalized $U$-duality, an extended Drinfel’d algebra (ExDA), called the exceptional Drinfel’d algebra (EDA), was proposed and a natural extension of Abelian $U$-duality was studied both in the context of supergravity and membrane theory. In this paper, we clarify the general structure of ExDAs and show that an ExDA always gives a generalized parallelizable space, which may be regarded as a group manifold with generalized Nambu–Lie structures. We then discuss the non-Abelian duality that is based on a general ExDA. For a coboundary ExDA, this non-Abelian duality reduces to a generalized Yang–Baxter deformation and we find a general formula for the twist matrix. In order to study the non-Abelian $U$-duality, we particularly focus on the $E_{n(n)}$ EDA for $n\leq 8$ and study various aspects, both in terms of M-theory and type IIB theory.
Cardiac, Autonomic, and Cardiometabolic Impact of Exercise Training in Spinal Cord Injury
Authors: Vivodtzev Isabelle , Taylor J. Andrew 
Published: December 2020

Introduction:
Direct and indirect effects of spinal cord injury lead to important cardiovascular (CV) complications that are further increased by years of injury and the process of “accelerated aging.” The present review examines the current evidence in the literature for the potential cardioprotective effect of exercise training in spinal cord injury.

Review Methods:
PubMed and Web of Science databases were screened for original studies investigating the effect of exercise-based interventions on aerobic capacity, cardiac structure/function, autonomic function, CV function, and/or cardiometabolic markers. We compared the effects in individuals <40 yr with time since injury <10 yr with those in older individuals (≥40 yr) with longer time since injury (≥10 yr), reasoning that the two can be considered individuals with low versus high CV risk factors.

Summary:
Studies showed similar exercise effects in both groups (n = 31 in low CV risk factors vs n = 15 in high CV risk factors). The evidence does not support any effect of exercise training on autonomic function but does support an increased peripheral blood flow, improved left ventricular mass, higher peak cardiac output, greater lean body mass, better antioxidant capacity, and improved endothelial function. In addition, some evidence suggests that it can result in lower blood lipids, systemic inflammation (interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor α, and C-reactive protein), and arterial stiffness. Training intensity, volume, and frequency were key factors determining CV gains. Future studies with larger sample sizes, well-matched groups of subjects, and randomized controlled designs will be needed to determine whether high-intensity hybrid forms of training result in greater CV gains.
Study of Radiological Assessment Models for Contaminated Soil, Buildings, and Outdoor Surfaces: Overview, Comparison, Similarity with Chemical Models, Challenges, and Lessons Learned
Authors: Shubayr Nasser A. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
A research project was conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Superfund remedial program to study radiological assessment models used for contaminated sites. Several models developed by regulatory agencies in different countries are studied to present overview and comparisons. These models are recommended by governmental agencies for radiological assessment of contaminated soil, inside buildings, and outdoor surfaces. The project also addressed the methodological consistency between the EPA and the United Kingdom Environment Agency (UK EA) for radiological and chemical assessment models. The main purpose of this project is to establish a common ground for cooperation between regulatory agencies by facilitating better understanding of each agency’s modeling approach and identifying the similarities and differences between these agencies. The project produced five reports that are published at the EPA’s website. This paper summarizes the content of each report and presents results of a survey distributed electronically following an EPA webinar about the research projects, including the familiarity of the respondents with these models. All findings were statistically analyzed.
Evaluation of Pediatric Forensic Cases Admitted to the Emergency Department in Turkey: A Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Yilmaz Gamze , Alemdar Dilek Küçük 
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT

Aim
The aim of this study was to determine retrospectively the demographic characteristics of forensic cases aged 0–18 years who were admitted to the emergency department.

Method
A total of 14,352 pediatric forensic cases aged 0–18 years, who were admitted to the emergency department of a hospital, were analyzed retrospectively in terms of the date of presentation, age, gender, and type of case.

Results
Among the pediatric cases presenting to the emergency department, 56% were due to falling, 19% were due to burns, 8.5% were due to poisoning, 7.4% were due to animal bites, 5.3% were due to traffic accidents, 3.4% were due to battery, and 0.4% were due to other phenomena (electric shock and sexual abuse). Examination of the distribution of cases in terms of age showed that falling (16.4%), burns (25.7%), and poisoning (28%) were more frequent in boys in the age group of 15–18 months and in girls in the age group of 0–12 months. Presenting to the emergency department because of sexual abuse was observed to be more frequent in girls in the age groups of 10–14 years (40%) and 15–18 years (26.7%).

Conclusion
The high rates of falling, burns, and poisoning cases among children observed in this study suggest that child neglect and abuse were high and reveal the necessity of the presence of forensic nurses in the emergency departments.

Authors: Wagner Michael , Jaki Christina , Löllgen Ruth M. , Mileder Lukas , Eibensteiner Fabian , Ritschl Valentin , Steinbauer Philipp , Gottstein Maximilian , Abulebda Kamal , Calhoun Aaron , Gross Isabel T. 
Published: December 2020

OBJECTIVES:
Early preparation for the training and education of healthcare providers, as well as the continuation or modification of routine medical education programs, is of great importance in times of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic or other public health emergencies. The goal of this study was to characterize these self-reported efforts by the pediatric simulation community.

DESIGN:
This was a global, multicenter survey developed via a Delphi process.

SETTING:
International survey study.

SUBJECTS:
The survey was sent to 555 individual members of the three largest international pediatric simulation societies (The International Pediatric Simulation Society, International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Innovation, Research & Education, and Netzwerk Kindersimulation e.V.) between April 27, 2020, and May 18, 2020.

INTERVENTIONS:
None.

MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:
Description of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic simulation-based preparation activities of pediatric acute and critical care healthcare providers. The Delphi process included 20 content experts and required three rounds to reach consensus. The survey was completed by 234 participants (42.2%) from 19 countries. Preparation differed significantly between the geographic regions, with 79.3% of Anglo-American/Anglo-Saxon, 82.6% of Indian, and 47.1% of European participants initiating specifically coronavirus disease 2019-related simulation activities. Frequent modifications to existing simulation programs included the use of telesimulation and virtual reality training. Forty-nine percent of institutions discontinued noncoronavirus disease 2019-related simulation training.

CONCLUSIONS:
The swift incorporation of disease-specific sessions and the transition of standard education to virtual or hybrid simulation training modes occurred frequently. The approach used, however, depended heavily on local requirements, limitations, and circumstances. In particular, the use of telesimulation allowed education to continue while maintaining social distancing requirements.
MathFeature: Feature Extraction Package for Biological Sequences Based on Mathematical Descriptors
Authors: Bonidia Robson P. , Sanches Danilo S. , de Carvalho André C.P.L.F. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractMachine learning algorithms have been very successfully applied to extract new and relevant knowledge from biological sequences. However, the predictive performance of these algorithms is largely affected by how the sequences are represented. Thereby, the main challenge is how to numerically represent a biological sequence in a numeric vector with an efficient mathematical expression. Several feature extraction techniques have been proposed for biological sequences, where most of them are available in feature extraction packages. However, there are relevant approaches that are not available in existing packages, techniques based on mathematical descriptors, e.g., Fourier, entropy, and graphs. Therefore, this paper presents a new package, named MathFeature, which implements mathematical descriptors able to extract relevant information from biological sequences. MathFeature provides 20 approaches based on several studies found in the literature, e.g., multiple numeric mappings, genomic signal processing, chaos game theory, entropy, and complex networks. MathFeature also allows the extraction of alternative features, complementing the existing packages.Availability and implementationMathFeature is freely available athttps://bonidia.github.io/MathFeature/orhttps://github.com/Bonidia/MathFeatureContactbonidia@usp.br,rpbonidia@gmail.com
Protecting silent identities of heritage from the ruining living identities in current and futuristic creative cities: the case of Egypt
Authors: Khalil Mohamed Hesham Madbouly 
Published: December 2020

PurposeWith the increasing number of creative cities as well as the reported incidences of deterioration to physical heritage, this paper aims to protect silent identities of heritage from the ruining living identities of modern generations in current and futuristic creative cities.Design/methodology/approachThe research aim is achieved through trait-related mixed methods, since the variances are not method-related, to answer three research questions. The first method was a survey questionnaire distributed to the creative architectural sector because it was the best sector to meet the identified criteria. It aimed to answer if the upperground layer in creative cities considers the underground layer's diversity as a main cause for heritage deterioration and for being a barrier to developing creative solutions. A hypothesis for the first question was tested through a t-test. The second method was to study cases of heritage in present and futuristic creative cities to answer if living identities threaten physical heritage of all ages at the same extent and if the same creativity concepts are applied to all heritage.FindingsThe underground layer's diversity identities were found as a major barrier to the creative architectural sector. The R-value indicated a negative relationship between heritage age and its condition. Cases witnessed different creative expressions, but cases within the same period faced similar concepts of expressed creativity. The proposed tree diagram is a framework that gives numerical guidelines for the interrelationship between every heritage age and creativity concept for novel and conscious creative practices at the upperground layer to solve the conflicts in creative cities.Research limitations/implicationsThe selection of Egypt does not possess a limitation because methodological considerations required for generalising the findings to a broader area were met. Findings in this paper are applicable to all upperground creative sectors that seek to understand the underground layer's diversity. Results are useful for protecting heritage silent identities in all existing and futuristic creative cities in countries that have heritage, of any age, facing deterioration.Originality/valueThe research work in this paper is novel in thought and resolves a perpetual conflict between silent identities and expressive living identities in current and futuristic creative cities through the proposed numerical framework for the upperground creative layer to develop novel conscious solutions. This framework represents a novel synthesis that adds to the existing body of knowledge, as it resolves a critical problem highlighted in previous research studies.
Modern slavery in the criminal family firm: misrecognition and symbolic violence in recruitment and retention practices
Authors: Salmon Udeni 
Published: December 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of recruitment and retention practices in the criminal family firm and to provide theoretical explanation for the coercive nature of such practices.Design/methodology/approachThe case study methodology uses 18 semi-structured interviews, court transcripts and press reports to investigate a landmark case of modern slavery in the UK.FindingsThe findings tentatively suggest that the trusting relationships typical of the legitimate family firm employers are replicated in a criminal business.Research limitations/implicationsThe theoretical implications of the paper are that Bourdieu's concepts of symbolic violence and misrecognition can be used to explain the process of worker exploitation in the family firm. Such psychological tools of domination maintain power in a situation of forced labour and blur the boundaries between employer/offender and worker/victim. From the perspective of understanding forced labour, Bourdieu's concept of misrecognition provides a theoretical framework for understanding the “stickiness” of exploitative workplace practices.Practical implicationsThe article suggests a non-economic explanation of why individuals choose to remain in poorly paid and exploitative labour, which will be of use to regulatory and enforcement bodies, seeking to understand the psychological and structural drivers of forced labour.Originality/valueDespite press interest in modern slavery in family firms, such cases have been rarely analysed in family firm literature. The paper contributes to the limited explorations of criminality in family firm businesses.

Authors: Song Jenny , McDonald Christine 
Published: December 2020

AbstractAimsThis study aimed to investigate the experiences and challenges of New Zealand registered nurses of Chinese ethnicity who have been working during the COVID‐19 pandemic.BackgroundNew Zealand's nursing workforce is becoming increasingly multicultural as foreign nurses make up an essential part of the New Zealand health workforce. The ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic has highlighted the contributions that nurses have made in providing front‐line services to the public. However, little has been documented about challenges and experiences of this minority ethnic group—Chinese nurses—who have been working as registered nurses in New Zealand during the COVID‐19 pandemic.MethodsThis study used an anonymous online questionnaire and a thematic approach to establishing understandings of the experiences of New Zealand registered nurses of Chinese ethnicity in working through the COVID‐19 pandemic. A total of 51 Chinese nurses completed this survey. A self‐explanatory checklist for reporting results of Internet e‐surveys (CHERRIES) was used for the purpose of the quality of this online survey.ResultsThe result showed that 47.06% participants (n = 24) reported negative experiences including racial discrimination, workplace bullying and judgement, while 52.94% (n = 27) participants reported positive working experiences including supports received in the workplace and positive recognition by the pubic in New Zealand.ConclusionEthnic minority nurses are key assets to the New Zealand health system. It is important to understand their experiences and challenges, particularly during the COVID‐19 pandemic to make sure they are supported and protected from any physical and emotional injury.Relevance to clinical practiceCOVID‐19 has brought additional challenges and concerns to nurses who are working on the front line of health services. Having knowledge of nurses’ working experiences will help with their job satisfaction and has potential implications for the sustainability of the New Zealand nursing workforce and retention strategies to address nursing workforce shortages which is foreseeable in New Zealand.
Future Smart Food: Harnessing the potential of neglected and underutilized species for Zero Hunger
Authors: Li Xuan , Siddique Kadambot H.M. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractAchieving Sustainable Development Goal 2: ‘Zero Hunger’—eradicating all forms of hunger and malnutrition—is a major challenge in many developing countries. To be successful, agriculture and food policies need to target both production and consumption. Conventional agri‐food systems in developing countries could become more sustainable through agricultural diversification. In Asia, over‐reliance on a few staple crops is a leading cause of low dietary diversity and persistent malnutrition. Promising neglected and underutilized species (NUS) that are nutrient dense, climate resilient, economically viable, and locally available or adaptable have been prioritized as Future Smart Food (FSF) and have a central role to play in the fight against hunger and malnutrition. An enabling environment for agriculture diversification with a food system approach—to promote sustainable production, processing and consumption of FSF—is essential for achieving Zero Hunger. This article (a) provides the context of hunger and malnutrition and highlights the features and gaps in current agriculture and food systems, (b) demonstrates the multidimensional benefits of FSF as an effective means to bridge production and nutrition gaps to address Zero Hunger and (c) offers a holistic food systems approach that promotes sustainable production, processing and consumption of FSF as a key element for achieving Zero Hunger.
