Abstract
The incorporation of marble particles into the framework of composite material through the polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide acid (AM) using induced gamma irradiation was performed. The novel poly[AA-AM]-marble composite was characterized by multiple analytical instruments such as: energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, differential thermal analysis-thermogravimetric analysis (DTA-TGA), Fourier transformer infrared (FTIR), surface area measurements using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Radioisotopes of fission (152+154Eu) and activation products (60Co) are the major environmental threats. Sorption of stable isotopes of cobalt and europium onto the synthesized composite material as the sorbent is applied. Sorption kinetics of Eu3+ and Co2+ were computed. The obtained results were analyzed by pseudo-first- and second-order, intraparticle diffusion, and Elovich kinetic models. It is deduced that the pseudo-second-order was more fitted and a chemisorption mechanism was suggested. The sorption capacity for Eu3+ and Co2+ on the prepared composite material was measured at the contact time (2 h) and pH = 4 (for Eu3+), pH = 6 (for Co2+) and it was found to be 91.2 and 13.1 mg/g, respectively. A promising result for the decontamination of both Eu and Co ions was obtained in various aquatic ecosystem applications such as: river water, tap water and groundwater.

Abstract

Objectives
To assess the immediate and three days postintervention effect of one dry needling session compared to one sham needling session on pain, central pain processing, muscle co-contraction and spatiotemporal parameters during gait in knee osteoarthritis patients.

Methods
A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. Sixty-one knee osteoarthritis patients were randomly assigned to the dry needling or sham needling group. Primary outcomes were pain and central pain processing. Secondary outcomes included muscle co-contraction and spatiotemporal parameters during gait. Patients were assessed at baseline and 15 min after the intervention, and pain also three days after the intervention. Linear mixed models were used to examine between- and within-group differences.

Results
No significant between-group differences for pain were found, but within-group scores showed a significant decrease 15 min after sham needling and three days after dry needling. The mean conditioned pain modulation effect measured at the m. Trapezius worsened significantly 15 min after sham needling compared to after dry needling (between-group difference). However, individual conditioned pain modulation percentage scores remained stable over time. Various significant within-group differences were found 15 min after sham needling: a decrease of conditioned pain modulation measured at m. Quadriceps and m. Trapezius and stride- and step-time scores, and an increase in step length and widespread pain pressure threshold. A significant decrease in muscle co-contraction index of the m. Vastus Medialis and Semitendinosus was found as within-group difference 15 min after dry needling.

Conclusions
Dry needling has no larger effect on pain, central pain processing, muscle co-contraction and gait pattern 15 min and three days postintervention compared to sham needling. Mean conditioned pain modulation scores worsened after sham needling compared to after dry needling. Further research remains necessary.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Turbojet applications benefit from accurate performance models. The aim of this study is to explore the applicability of data-mining algorithms to determine relationships between the generated thrust, the environmental conditions (free stream air-speed, inlet temperature and pressure) and the operating conditions (input fuel flow and shaft angular speed). For this purpose, experimental tests were carried out within wind-tunnel facilities using an experimental single-spool turbojet test bench. It is well-known that a large set of data-mining approaches relies on establishing linear correlations among input and output variables. The scope of this article is to assess the applicability of correlational data-mining approaches by i) an exploratory data analysis to find underlying data patterns and ii) principal component regressions to obtain a suitable predictive model for the generated thrust. Validation experiments demonstrated that the data-based model allows capturing the effects of the environmental and operating conditions with good accuracy (Root Mean Squared Error RMSE = 3.5100%), while maintaining a low complexity in the resulting structure. These results show that it is possible to generate turbojet experimental performance maps through data-mining algorithms with a correlational approach.
Neue Strategien für die Destinationsentwicklung im Deutschlandtourismus? – Ansatzpunkte für eine Post-Corona-Zeit
Authors: Olbrich Natalie , Pechlaner Harald 
Published: November 2021

ZusammenfassungAm Beispiel der Destinationsentwicklung des Deutschlandtourismus zielt dieser Beitrag darauf ab, strategische Vorgehensweisen in der Destinationsentwicklung im Zuge der andauernden Covid-19-Pandemie zu analysieren. Die Krise hat gezeigt, dass eine langfristige Strategieentwicklung für die touristische Wettbewerbsfähigkeit notwendig ist und traditionelle Geschäftsmodelle überdacht werden müssen. Auf Grundlage der Erkenntnisse einer studentischen Masterexkursion sowie einer Veranstaltungsreihe wurde eine qualitative Interviewreihe durchgeführt, wobei festgestellt werden konnte, dass die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen auf die Destinationen weitreichend sind und für eine Post-Corona-Zeit grundlegende Veränderungen bei der Destinationsentwicklung diskutiert werden müssen. Insbesondere die Einbindung und Partizipation der lokalen Bevölkerung mittels eines Dialogmanagements gewinnt vor dem Hintergrund der Krise an Relevanz und stellt ein wichtiges strategisches Instrument dar. Die zentrale Herausforderung allerdings bleibt, die einheimische Bevölkerung dergestalt in die Prozesse zu integrieren, sodass das Tourismusbewusstsein nachhaltig gefördert wird.

Zusammenfassung
Krisen können Veränderungsprozesse in Unternehmen und Tourismusdestinationen stimulieren. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist, die COVID-19 Krise als potenziellen Treiber von Innovationen im Tourismus zu untersuchen. Als Fallbeispiel werden Skigebiete in Niederösterreich verwendet, welche im Winter 2020/21 im Gegensatz zu vielen Skigebieten in anderen Alpenregionen, geöffnet hatten. Eine Dokumenten-/Internetanalyse und Interviews mit Entscheidungsträgern der Region geben Einblick in die Vorbereitung und Umsetzung spezieller Maßnahmen, sowie die Bewertung der letzten Wintersaison. Aufgrund des großen Nachfragedrucks der Metropolregion Wien waren Verantwortliche besonders gefordert. Mit einem überregionalen Konzept und Online-Tools konnte man neue Wege im Bereich der Digitalisierung, Besucherlenkung, Kundenbindung und Bepreisung beschreiten, welche auch künftig helfen können, die Branche resilienter gegenüber externen Störungen zu machen.
“The just judgements that Ḫammu-rāpi, a former king, rendered”: A New Royal Inscription in the Istanbul Archaeological Museums
Authors: Frazer Mary , Adalı Selim Ferruh 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This article publishes a royal inscription preserved on a clay tablet housed in the Istanbul Archaeological Museums. The inscription, which was intended for display on a stele, commemorates a royal grant of tax exemptions to nine Babylonian cities and presents the royal protagonist as a second Ḫammu-rāpi. The name and titulary of the king in question are not preserved, and the attribution of the inscription is accordingly uncertain. Following Jean-Vincent Scheil’s attribution of the text already in 1902, the study that accompanies an edition of the text argues that it should be attributed to Nabonidus, king of Babylon 556–539 BC, and explores its historical significance in this context.
Caracterización médico legal del homicidio en víctimas femeninas
Authors: Estupiñan Rodriguez Norge , Machín Guevara Yaima , Monzón González Joel 
Published: November 2021

El feminicidio define un acto de violencia extrema contra las mujeres por su condición de ser mujeres. Forma parte del concepto más amplio de violencia de género. El debate social que existe en la actualidad sobre la violencia contra la mujer ha tenido que producirse sobre una realidad ignorada. En esta polémica han sido más los que han buscado responsables que los que han aportado soluciones. La medicina en general y la medicina forense en particular han sido una víctima más de ese contexto socio-cultural que ha permitido que se produjera la agresión a la mujer de muy diversas formas por el hecho de ser mujer, sin que haya habido una respuesta científica similar a la que ha aparecido en otro tipo de hechos de violencia interpersonal. Este comportamiento ha sido más relevante en los países en vías de desarrollo; solo en Latinoamérica y el Caribe se reportan diariamente un aproximado de 1250 muertes de mujeres por día, como resultado de actos de violencia de género. Según la Organización de Naciones Unidas (ONU) 25 países concentran las mayores cifras de homicidio contra mujeres en el mundo, y 14 de estos pertenecen a América Latina y el Caribe. En Cuba a pesar de la existencia de violencia de género como en el resto de los países latinoamericanos no está tipificado este delito y la muerte de una mujer a manos de un hombre se trata jurídicamente como un homicidio indiferenciado.
El objetivo general de la investigación consistió en caracterizar los homicidios en victimas femeninas durante el período 2013-2018, tratados por el Servicio Provincial de Medicina Legal en Matanzas.
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo, analizando los dictámenes de necropsias realizadas a las víctimas de homicidios en el periodo de tiempo estudiado, utilizando un instrumento de recogida de datos creado para la investigación.
Se excluyeron los casos de féminas fallecidas en accidentes de tránsito o que encontraron la muerte a manos de otra mujer.

Published: November 2021

The presence of Staphylococcus spp. has increasingly been reported in food products and poses a public health threat. The aim of this study was to determine the diversity of Staphylococcus spp. and the antibiotic resistance profiles of isolates obtained from freshly harvested and packed ready-to-eat mushrooms (n=432) and handlers’ hands (n=150). A total of 56 Staphylococcus isolates [46.4% (n=26) from hands and 53.6% (n=30) from mushrooms] were recovered belonging to 10 species. Staphylococcus succinus isolates (n=21) were the most prevalent, of which 52.4% came from mushrooms and 47.6% from hands. This was followed by S. equorum isolates [n=12; 91.7% (n=11) from mushrooms and 8.3% (n=1) from hands] and S. saprophyticus [n=9; 66.7% (n=6) from mushrooms and 33.3% (n=3) from hands]. Six isolates that were characterised as multidrug resistant were isolated from hands of handlers. Most (83.9%; n=47) of the 56 isolates were resistant to penicillin [53.2% (n=25) from mushrooms and 46.8% (n=22) from hands] and 14.3% (n=8) were resistant to cephalosporin classes [25% (n=2) from mushrooms and 75% (n=6) from hands], both of which are used to treat staphylococcal infections. Antibiotic resistance genes blaZ [25.0% (n=14) of all isolates of which 71.4% (n=10) were from hands and 28.57% (n=4) from mushrooms], tetL and tetK [both 1.8% (n=1) from hands], mecA [5.4% (n=3) from hands] and ermA [1.8% (n=1) from mushrooms] were detected from the 56 isolates. Only two (25.0%) of the eight methicillin-resistant staphylococci harboured the mecA gene, while only 11 (23%) of the 47 penicillin-resistant isolates harboured the blaZ gene [36.4% (n=4) from mushrooms and 63.6% (n=7) from hands]. Our results demonstrate that food handlers and harvested and packed ready-to-eat mushrooms could be a source of diverse Staphylococcus spp. that exhibit antimicrobial resistance. Clinically relevant S. aureus was only detected on one handler’s hand; however, the isolate was not multidrug resistant. The presence of diverse Staphylococcus spp. on mushrooms and the hands of handlers is a potential public health concern due to their potential to cause opportunistic infections.Significance:

This study is the first to describe the antibiotic resistance profiles and antibiotic gene presence of Staphylococcus spp. isolated from fresh mushrooms and hands of pickers and packers. Mushrooms and handlers in this study were demonstrated to be possible routes of transmission of Staphylococcus spp. that are antibiotic resistant and which harbour antibiotic resistance genes, presenting a possible public health hazard.

The frequent occurrence of yellow fever (YF) outbreaks in Nigeria affirms that YF is a re-emerging public health threat. This case report therefore aimed to provide a description of a confirmed case of in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State between January and December 2018. We conducted an outbreak investigation of YF in Kwara state, Nigeria. On 18th December 2018, a 25-year-old man (Mr. A) suspected for YF was reported from Agunjin ward of Ifelodun LGA in Kwara State. Mr. A presented with a history of fever and jaundice. Laboratory investigations were conducted, and Mr. A was confirmed positive to YF Immunoglobin M from the regional World Health Organization laboratory in Dakar, Senegal, but survived the YF illness. Community survey revealed nearly 53% YF vaccination coverage using both card and history. The rapid response team in Kwara State paid courtesy visits to the palace of the Alagunjin of Agunjin who assured of the community’s cooperation. Active case search was encouraged for all healthcare workers who participated in the vaccination activity, and on-the-job trainings were conducted. To ensure 100% YF vaccine coverage in Agunjin and neighboring settlements, a mop-up vaccination program, was conducted, and all persons who received the vaccine were each issued a yellow card. To forestall a recurrence of YF outbreaks, increasing YF vaccination coverage in community settings should be promoted. Increased commitment of the government at all levels towards improving YF surveillance and providing logistics support should be prioritized.
