Performance Study of Buried Pipelines under Static Loads
Authors: Alanazi Mahdi J. , Qinghua Yang , Al-Bukhaiti Khalil 
Published: December 2021

The possibility of servicing lifelines such as highways, railways, pipelines, and tunnels is of great social importance. The characteristic that separates the buried pipeline from other structures is that its dimensions are very long compared to its other dimensions. Ground vibrations caused by earthquakes, construction activities, traffic, explosions, and machinery can damage these structures. Lifeline integrity can be compromised in two ways: (1) direct damage due to excessive dynamic loading of the lifeline, and (2) indirect damage due to soil failures such as liquefaction, slope instability, and differential settlements. 3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is an advanced manufacturing process that can automatically produce complex geometric shapes from a 3D computer-aided design model without tools, molds, or fixtures. This automated manufacturing process has been applied in diverse industries today because it can revolutionize the construction industry with expected benefits. This research study on the performance of buried pipelines under static loads to the structure's safety against the possible development of progressive failure. This research study includes a numerical study, where it was studied many parameters to value the performance of the pipeline. The parameters are (a) the material of the pipeline (steel, traditional concrete, and 3D concrete printed), (b) the thickness of the pipeline (20, 30, and 40 mm), and (c) soil type (moist sandy soil, saturated sandy soil, moist cohesive soil, and saturated cohesive soil). Different results were obtained depending on the type of soil where all pipelines materials' behavior was similar in the case of moist soil. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-01-01 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Hussain Haleem K. , Zewair Mustafa Shareef , Ahmed Mazin Abdulimam 
Published: December 2021

A study of the behavior of fibers in high-strength reinforced concrete beams is presented in this paper. Twelve reinforced concrete beams were tested under a pure torsion load. Different compressive strengths (45.2, 64.7, and 84.8 MPa) and fiber volume fractions (0, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) with variable spacing between transverse reinforcements have been used. It was discovered that the maximum torque of a high-strength concrete beam is increased by about 20.3, 25.6, and 27.1% when the fractional volume of fiber is increased from 0 to 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 respectively (when the compressive strength is 45.2 MPa and the transverse reinforcement spacing is 100 mm). The test results show that the ultimate torsional strength becomes higher when the concrete compressive strength increases, and this percentage increase becomes higher with increasing steel fiber volume fraction. When the spacing between transverse reinforcements decreases from 150 to 100 mm, the ultimate torque increases by 19.9%. When the spacing between transverse reinforcements decreases from 100 to 60 mm, the ultimate torque increases by 17.0%. In these beams, the fibers’ compressive strength and volume fraction were kept constant at 45.2 MPa and 0.75, respectively. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-01-07 Full Text: PDF

Atrial Cardiomyopathy: a Role in the Pathogenesis of Atrial Fibrillation and Influence on the Results of Its Treatment
Authors: Stychynskyi Oleksandr S. , Almiz Pavlo O. , Topchii Alina V. 
Published: December 2021

The work is dedicated to the issue of atrial cardiomyopathies (ACs). They have a significant effect on the heart function, provoke rhythm disturbances and increase the risk of thromboembolic complications.
The aim. To analyze the latest publications on the topic.
The material for the analysis were the papers published by the leading arrhythmological clinics.
Discussion. This paper describes the origin of the term “atrial cardiomyopathy”, highlights the conditional classification of changes in the atrial myocardium according to the EHRAS classification. The causes of this nosological form may be some types of gene mutations, as well as hypertension, congestive circulatory failure, diabetes mellitus, myocarditis, etc. ACs play an important role in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and also affect its natural course and treatment outcomes. Electroanatomical mapping and magnetic resonance data show significant fibrotic changes in the atria in individuals with this form of arrhythmia. The DECAAF study (Delayed enhancement MRI and atrial fibrillation catheter ablation) showed that fibrotic changes in the atrial myocardium are directly related to the frequency of recurrent arrhythmias after catheter ablation. The DECAAFII study confirmed the effectiveness of the influence on the fibrous substrate in the catheter treatment of AF at stages 1 and 2 of fibrosis. The results of catheter treatment depend on the severity of fibrosis, which shows the importance of taking this factor into account when determining the indications for ablation.
Conclusions. Thus, AC is an important component of the pathogenesis of AF. Improvement of techniques for influencing the fibrous substrate will improve the results of catheter treatment of AF.
Saytenspiel
Authors: Auer Michael 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Als Wort, als Lautfolge und als Creticus (—⏑—) steht „Saytenspiel“ für ein (insbesondere lyrisches) Dispositiv, das sich in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts etabliert. Vor allem seit 1733 bedienen sich lyrische Texte der Homophonie von Instrumentensaite und Buchseite, um zu einer neuartigen sozialen Medienpraxis anzuleiten. Dabei kommt es zu einer bemerkenswerten Verschiebung der für die Lyrik grundlegenden Leier-Metapher. Sie wird auf die Seite der Rezeption verlagert, die zum blätternden Spiel stilisiert wird. Zugleich wird die Rezeption aufgewertet, denn das Blättern taktet und begleitet die rhythmisierte Klangfolge der laut vorlesenden – oder auch singenden – Stimme(n). Indem ein Gedicht so, einem Rhythmusinstrument gleich, in die Hand gegeben wird, soll der angeblich von Herzen kommende Ton empfindsamer Lyrik, durch echte Ohren gehend, zu tatsächlichen Herzen finden. Hinter den Suggestionen dieser medialen Strategie stehen die Möglichkeiten, die sich mit den Standards und Innovationen des Buchdrucks und dem rasanten Wachstum des Buchmarkts im 18. Jahrhundert eröffnen: Laut und Rhythmus können immer breiter werdenden Leserschaften im Druckbild vorgegeben werden.

Authors: Oberto María Georgina , Asis Elizabeth Liliana , Defagó María Daniela 
Published: December 2021

Introducción: la vigilancia del crecimiento de manera continua permite la identificación de alteraciones antropométricas y metabólicas como parte integral del tratamiento en VIH. Se propuso analizar la evolución del estado nutricional, con los parámetros inmunológicos y virológicos en niños infectados con VIH de transmisión vertical y su asociación con el tratamiento antirretroviral de gran actividad (TARGA).
Material y Métodos: se incluyeron 56 niños de 0-12 años, asistentes al Hospital Materno Neonatal de Córdoba, Argentina entre 1998-2014. Se evaluó, por grupo etario (menor o mayor de 6 años) y TARGA administrado, el estado nutricional antropométrico y bioquímico, inmunológico, virológico y manifestaciones clínicas en tres controles médicos.
Resultados: en el tercer control el análisis del estado nutricional antropométrico según el índice de masa corporal (IMC) diagnosticó 47 niños (83,93%) con un IMC normal y 6 (10,71%) sobrepeso/obesidad, sin diferencia estadísticamente significativa por grupo etario (p=0,10). Treinta y seis niños (64,29%) presentaron hipertrigliceridemia, siendo mayores las concentraciones al segundo (p=0,003) y tercer control (p=0,06) en los tratados con esquema II y III con inhibidores de proteasa (IP), a diferencia del esquema I sin IP. La normoglucemia prevaleció en 54 niños (96,43%) y la anemia en 29 (51,79%).
Las manifestaciones clínicas disminuyeron en los sucesivos controles y en el último, 3 niños (5,36%) mayores de 6 años, tuvieron neumonía y uno (1,79%) inmunosupresión grave.
Conclusiones: la hipertrigliceridemia fue el principal efecto adverso de la medicación que, sumados a la alta prevalencia de anemia, constituyen parámetros importantes para el tratamiento de manera interdisciplinaria.

Published: December 2021

Purpose: This article aims to explain the status of BEs and to discuss their role in Nepal for a prosperous nation.
Methods and materials: The study adopts the explanatory methods using both (i.e., primary and secondary) source and secondary data. For this purpose, the study entertained the process of collecting, arranging, organising and interpreting the collected data with appropriate forms.
Findings and conclusion: The study found different types and forms of BEs in Nepal with different legal statuses but very small in number. The forms of BEs showed that sole proprietorship and P.Ltd. dominated business culture. Foreign companies and public limited companies which issue shares and debentures found in nominal number. The conclusion of the study shows that the governments of Nepal from the very beginning have not been working in a planned way to established the BEs in the appropriate required forms, types, natures and manner. Considering the requirement of the nation on the BEs, the government of Nepal should immediately take a good step for further development of the BEs.
Originality/value: In this subject and context it is the first attempt although it deals with the BEs with different aspects and explains the role of BEs for the prosperity of the nation very clearly and substantially. However, it requires further study to be completed in all aspects.
