Authors: Nazar Nazia , Österman Karin , Björkqvist Kaj 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate associations between acceptance of violence and victimisation from physical punishment by teachers, self-esteem, and psychological concomitants among students from three school systems in Pakistan. A questionnaire was completed by 550 girls, and 550 boys. The mean age for girls was 13.3 years, and for boys 14.1. Boys accepted violence significantly more than girls. Students in Urdu Medium schools accepted violence significantly more than students in the Madrassa, and students in English Medium schools accepted it significantly least of all. In English Medium schools, girls accepted violence significantly more than boys, in Urdu Medium schools there was no sex difference, and in the Madrassa, boys accepted it significantly more than girls. Respondents who scored higher than average on acceptance of violence scored significantly higher on victimisation from physical punishment by teachers, anxiety, depression, and hostility, and had significantly lower self-esteem.

Authors: Törő Krisztina , Csikós Gábor 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

Aims. Even though child psychology researches related to a pandemic are extensive, the knowledge of practitioners about interventions and practices is still very limited. The complete novelty of such an epidemic situation in Europe, the diversity of terminology and methods are factors that make results hard to interpret. Therefore, the current study aims to give an overview of the psychological literature of the family aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Methods. A search was executed in four databases (Science Direct, Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar) using the following keywords: pandemic, Covid 19, family, children, adolescents, anxiety, depression. Our review focuses only on English language literature.

Results. The majority of the articles focus on non-pathological phenomena and draws attention to the behavior of healthy populations (increase in internet use, the decline of concentration). Methods were dominated by online surveys. These surveys were mainly constructed ad-hoc and they preferred to address parents. Direct child investigations are underrepresented, but several suggestions were formulated for their optimal functioning.

Conclusion:. Researches focusing on psychopathology emphasize the growth in the prevalence of disorders. However, other researches are needed to explore the psychodynamics of the pandemic on the family level. Our study aimed to contribute to the field by summarizing the main findings, suggestions, and interventions hoping that it might be a useful tool for practitioners and reduce the territory of the unknown.

Political Borders Are Not Natural Orders – The COVID-19 Pandemic in Frankfurt on the Main and Its Refugees
Authors: Alam Homayun 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The overall aim of this paper will be to stick to the previous researchers to get valid and impartial data from the most international city of Germany: Frankfurt on the Main. However, this research paper will try to provide answers by comparing war situations (object) where curfews are at daily basis impact on lives of people, who become gradually refugees (subject). In the recent years many refugees found their way to the global city of Frankfurt and its region of Rhine-Main. In these days if talking about the situation of the visible shutdown, lockdown and the strictly forbidden laws for an overall betterment of life, refugees have a tendency to explain to the native people about their crisis-laden past: “Resilience for Survival”. Their recent past in the war-torn countries of Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq in West-Asia, Libya in Africa or the many wars in the Balkans in the 1990s in Europe, are a case in point. Given that as a matter of fact, when individuals are leading conversations about the outbreak to the recent lockdown, especially, fugitives try to explain to the ordinary dweller of Frankfurt through what life-threatening circumstances they experienced. This described social encounter despite the imposed social distancing is the proof how our glocalized planet (global and local) effects the everyday life and every human being lives in each and every corner of the confined nation-states.

Abstract
Modern man is at constant risk to his/her security, which threatens him/her from natural disasters. Today, these risks are much more frequent and intense than they were before. Climate change is affecting more and more extreme natural disasters that bring greater security risks. The most common risks that lead to crisis situations are related to extreme events during the escalation of natural disasters, such as: fires, floods, earthquakes, heavy rainfall, landslides, etc. These situations require adequate systemic responses, which are recognized through the actions of various institutions, mainly public institutions of public systems towards the vulnerable groups. Increased interest in the work of institutions and services in crisis situations comes from the need to seek effective responses to the existential vulnerability condition, but also to the condition of social need that is often associated with existential vulnerability. The paper presents organization and of work terms of the Centre for Social Work (CSW) in Banja Luka during the extreme floods in 2014, which hit this city twice in six months period. Conclusions and recommendations that have been defined, aimed at systematically improving the protection of the population and professionals in crisis situations at the local level are based on the results of the analysis of the activities that have been carried out and the Centre’s direct actions, as well as an assessment of the achieved level of social protection and support to the population affected by the effects of the floods.

Abstract
The integration of Indian economy through the channels of trade and capital flow has been accelerated over the last two decades. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, policy stimulus continued to promote export-led growth in the economy. These decadal efforts to retain the exiting market share and capturing the new market continues to face number of challenges for India. India is presently known as one of the most important players in the global economic landscape. After the US-China trade war scenes, the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic has questioned China’s integrity across many countries of the world. When developed countries thinking over shifting their manufacturing base out of China, attracting this large chunk of capital flight has challenged Indian government. Data shows that the aggressive policy measures taken by both the central and state government to tap the crowding out of investment from China apparently succeeding. But this is a short-term picture, will it continue in the long-run? That is questionable. The ‘Make in India’ or ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiatives, export-led growth policy stimulus during pandemic, rise in exports of food products, generic medicines, newly entered FDIs and flood of FIIs in Indian economy. All these dots need to be connected at the backdrop of India’s New Foreign Trade Policy (2021-26). This research paper would like to focus on each one of the above mentioned initiatives by the Indian government and its significance to the entire trade policy as such. Paper would also like to consider the sustainability part of these initiatives.

This study was conducted to investigate the potential of using sodium silicate with nanosilica as a treatment to inhibit the progress of corrosion in steel specimens that are already corroded. Steel specimens measuring 16 mm in diameter and 4 mm in thickness were prepared and subjected to pre-corrosion by immersion to 3.5% NaCl solution. Two sets of specimens were then dip-coated with sodium silicate containing nanosilica. One set was coated with 1% nanosilica, and the other was coated with 2.5% nanosilica. The coated specimens were then subjected to Complex Impedance Spectroscopy (CIS) at 20 Hz to 20 MHz frequency range. Compared with the sodium silicate coating with 1% nanosilica, the sodium silicate coating with 2.5% nanosilica had a larger semi-circle curve in the Nyquist plot. Similarly, the sodium silicate coating with 2.5% nanosilica also showed larger magnitudes of impedance at the low-frequency region and larger phase angles at the high-frequency regions in the Bode plot. These results imply that the sodium silicate coating with 2.5% nanosilica coating demonstrated better capacitive behavior. In addition, equivalent circuit modelling results also showed that the sodium silicate coating with 2.5% nanosilica had higher coating resistance and lower coating capacitance as compared to the sodium silicate coating with 1% nanosilica.

A Case Study on The Mechanical and Durability Properties of a Concrete Using Recycled Aggregates
Authors: Naouaoui Khaoula , Cherradi Toufik 
Published: November 2021

In Morocco, Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) is not promoted unlike developed countries like France, Canada, US and many others. This article aims to present a Moroccan study related to the characterization of RAC and compare it with several studies all over the world. It focuses on compressive strength as the main mechanical characteristic and the porosity as the physical property that affects durability. The protocol is based on crushing concrete from demolished building and producing aggregates that are used in making experimental samples of RAC with different percentages of replacing Natural Aggregates (NA) by recycled ones. The first part of experimental study is to determine compressive strength of these samples after 7, 21, 28 and 90 days of confectioning it. Test results prove that above 25% of replacement level, the compression drops considerably and the Recycled Aggregates (RA) can’t replace the naturel ones. The second part of studies focuses on studying porosity as indicator of durability according to the performance approach. It concludes that the RAC may be used in a construction with a required life of 100 years specially building and roads. For high standards constructions or construction in a specific environment, more studies should be done. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091768 Full Text: PDF
Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Processes for Damage State Assessment of Arch Masonry Bridge
Authors: Lallam Mostefa , Mammeri Abdelhamid , Djebli Abdelkader 
Published: November 2021

The present work proposes a fuzzy analytical hierarchy approach for decision making in the maintenance programming of masonry arch bridges. As a practical case, we propose to classify the degradation state of the Mohammadia masonry bridge. A large number of criteria and sub-criteria are combined to classify this type of bridges through visual inspections. The main criteria (level 1) considered in this work are the history of the bridge, the environmental conditions, the structural capacity and the professional involvement of the bridge. In addition, these criteria are subdivided into several sub-criteria (level 2) which are, in turn, subdivided into sub-criteria (level 3). Considering these criteria and sub-criteria, weights Wiare calculated by fuzzy geometric mean method of Buckley. Subsequently, expert scores were assigned to calculate the overall score CS reflecting the degradation of the considered infrastructure. Thereafter, the masonry arch bridges are classified respecting the French IQOA scoring system using the overall scores value CS. The proposed classification method gave similar results provided by an expert’s study realized previously as part of a national patrimony preservation policy. The obtained results are in good agreement, which makes this method an effective scientific tool for decision-making in view of prioritization of the maintenance after systematic inspection of masonry bridges such as the bridge studied in this work.

Mangroves As Coastal Bio-Shield: A Review of Mangroves Performance in Wave Attenuation
Authors: Kamil Ernie Amira , Takaijudin Husna , Hashim Ahmad Mustafa 
Published: November 2021

Mangroves have been recognized as soft structures that provide coastline protection. The capability of dampening waves helps minimize destruction from catastrophic events including erosive wave attacks, torrential storms, and tsunamis. Mangroves act as the first line of coastal defense in natural tragedies such as during the Super Typhoon Haiyan 2013 and Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004, whereby the leeward mangrove area encountered less damage than the unprotected area. This has further brought the attention of researchers to study the attenuation performance of these coastal vegetations. Based on an extensive literature review, this paper discusses the attenuation mechanism of mangroves, the factors influencing the dissipation performance, studies on mangrove dissipation via different approaches, the dissipation efficiency, mangrove conservation and rehabilitation efforts in Malaysia and implementation of mangrove as coastal bio-shield in other countries. The study highlights that mangrove parameters (such as species, width, density etc.) and wave parameters (such as wave period and incident wave height) are among the contributing factors in mangroves-induced wave attenuation, with different efficiency rates performed by different mangroves and waves parameters. Towards that end, several improvements are proposed for future research such as to incorporate all influencing dissipation factors with specific analysis for each species of mangroves, to perform validation on the studied mangroves attenuation capacity in different settings and circumstances, as well as to address the extent of protection by the rehabilitated mangroves. A systematic and effective management strategy incorporating ecological, forestry, and coastal engineering knowledge should be considered to ensure a sustainable mangroves ecosystem and promising coastline protection by mangroves.

Published: November 2021

The objective: a prevention of the peritoneal pelvic adhesions formation in women of reproductive age in the postoperative periodMaterials and methods. 132 women with tubal infertility were examined: І group – main one (n=68) and ІІ group – comparison group (n=64). In the postoperative period, the patients of the main group received treatment and prevention measures according to the developed approach (intraoperative administration of anti-adhesion gel 50 ml and 1 suppository of the tiotriazolin a day rectally from the 1st day after surgery for 14 days), and the comparison group – according to the traditional approach. 30 healthy women were examined as a control group.The level of fibrinogen, fibrinogen /fibrin degradation products (FDP), protein-bound hydroxyproline and free hydroxyproline were studied in blood. Pain syndrome was assessed on a 10-point scale.Results. An increase in fibrinogen and FDP levels in the plasma of all examined women were found. But in the main group the concentration of FDP from 4 hours after intervention was significantly higher (5.31±0.24 mg/l) compared to the comparison group (4.53±0.17 mg/l). The level of protein-bound hydroxyproline in the blood serum of the examined women demonstrated its significant increase in the comparison group 12 hours after surgery, with a maximum after 24 hours and maintaining the concentration in 1.9 times higher after 3 days (p<0.05). The level of free hydroxyproline in the main group was significantly (in 1.4–1.6 times) higher than in the comparison group.The increase of the fibrinolytic capacity (p<0.05) in the peritoneal fluid was found during postoperative period. The period of hyperemia in II group lasted 2 times longer than in I group. Also, II group predominates in the number of patients with hyperthermia for more than 3 days – 10 (15.6 %), compared with I group – 4 patients (5.8 %). The duration of stay in the hospital dominated in II group with a standard treatment regimen in the postoperative period – 3.1 %, compared with I group – 1.9 %.The patients after operation in I group evaluated postoperative pain on average by 1.8 points (p=0.00), in II group – at 3.6 points (p=0.06). Synthetic opioid analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were administered intramuscularly for analgesia. The patients in II group required more injections per patient.Conclusions. The proposed approach is effective, pathogenetically reasonable and can be used as a pathogenetic prevention of adhesions formation in women of reproductive age.
