Evaluation of Tunnel Contour Quality Index on the Basis of Terrestrial Laser Scanning Data
Authors: Dybeł Piotr , Dybeł Katarzyna , Cieślik Jerzy 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The Tunnel Contour Quality Index (TCI) is an index established by Kim and Bruland for an effective management of a tunnel contour quality. It is estimated on a basis of measurements of two contour profiles within a single blasting round, using a laser profiler. However, the representativeness of measurement results obtained that way for the assessment of a contour quality of the entire blasting round is disputable. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology, combined with available numerical surface modeling tools, enables development of three-dimensional models of a monitored surface. The article reports results of TCI calculations based on TLS data. The presented TLS technique is based not only on selected cross-sections of the tunnel contour but also on the description of the morphology of the tunnel contour surface. The case study concerns measurements of the “Mały Luboń” tunnel niche, located in Naprawa, Poland. The TCI values for three blasting rounds were determined in accordance with Kim and Bruland's guidelines and were compared to TCI values determined with the proposed TLS technique. On a basis of this comparison, it can be concluded that the results obtained with the TLS technique are more reliable and representative for description of the contour quality of the entire blasting round than results obtained with the laser profiling technique.
Formulation And Evaluation of Fast Dissolving Oral Films Incorporated With Ramipril and β-Cyclodextrin Complex
Authors: Nirmala Puttaswamy 
Published: July 2021

Ramipril being ACE inhibitor belongs to BCS class II drug with low solubility and undergoes first-pass metabolism that leads to reduced bioavailability of 28%. The current research is aimed at formulating and evaluating ramipril fast dissolving oral films (FDOF). Solubility enhancement of ramipril was done by formation of inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin in 3 ratios (1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2). Based on higher drug content and dissolution values the physical mixture of ramipril with β-cyclodextrin in 1:1 ratio (IC2) was chosen for further studies. Total 12 formulations of ramipril FDOF containing IC2 prepared with various polymers and evaluated for physicochemical properties. The optimized formulation F9 shown better tensile strength (11.6 g/cm2), significant % elongation (9.8) and maximum % drug content of 99.98 %. The formulation F9 exhibited minimum disintegration time of 9 sec that is desirable for immediate onset of action and maximum drug release. The FTIR data of F9 assured the compatibility of drug and formulation excipients, found to be stable for 180 days at accelerated conditions. The study confirmed that ramipril FDOF lead to quicker onset of action and enhanced therapeutic efficiency in comparison to marketed product.
La reforma energética en México y su impacto en la ocupación superficial para el aprovechamiento de los recursos energéticos
Authors: Díaz López Rosa María , Rivera de la Rosa Verónica 
Published: July 2021

The activities of the energy sector, specifically in the exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons must be performed under the criteria of social equity, productivity and sutainability, which requires a solid constitutional framework to regulate the land occupation use for the execution of projects in the energy sector, since there are principles that must be considered, among which the following stand out: the use of land is temporary in some projects; communities oftenly are affected by a period of time longer than the estimated time required to carry out the actual use of the land; during the land use activities the affected natural resources must be preserved, land must be restored to its original condition or to an adequate alternative condition after the activity of land occupation has concluded and any land use activity has the potential to affect the environment, either positively or negatively. A description of the possible adverse environmental impacts from planning to the completion of the activity must be given. After five years of the implementation of the energy reform, it is essential to evaluate the scope and deficiencies regarding land occupation and social impact issues, subsequent to the execution of projects in the specific contractual areas.

Published: July 2021

Background:
Parietal atretic cephalocele (PAC) is a small, subscalp lesion with underlying extracranial meningeal, neural, and glial tissues. In this paper, we analyze the related literature on the continuum of PAC-associated venous anomalies and report an exemplary case.

Methods:
The PubMed Medline database was searched using the following search algorithm: (Atretic encephalocele) OR (Rudimentary meningocele,) OR (Atypical meningocele) OR (Meningocele manqué) OR (Meningeal heterotopia). Only papers detailing the venous anomalies associated with PACs have been included.

Results:
A total of 30 papers in our search documented PAC-associated venous abnormalities. The overall number of cases reported was 68 (including our exemplary case). The most frequently identified associated venous anomaly was the presence of a “fenestrated superior sagittal sinus” recorded in 48.5% of cases (n = 33), followed closely by “persistent falcine sinus” in 47% (n = 32) and vertical embryonic positioning of the straight sinus (SS) in 44% (n = 30). The complete absence of a SS was reported in 39.7% (n = 27) and various anomalies of the Galenic system were reported in 26.8% of cases (n = 12).

Conclusion:
Although benign in nature, PACs are often a marker for the presence of complex and variable cerebral venous malformations, requiring extensive preoperative imaging workup for both the superficial and deep venous systems to obtain an accurate understanding of the anatomy of the venous system and guide surgical planning.

Seismic Fragility Curves for Performance of Semi-rigid Connections of Steel Frames
Authors: Saadi Mohamed , Yahiaoui Djarir , Lahbari Noureddine , Tayeb Bouzid 
Published: July 2021

A steel frame with a semi-rigid connection is one of the most widely used structural systems in modern construction. These systems are cheap to make, require less time to construct and offer the highest quality and reliable construction quality without the need for highly skilled workers. However, these systems show greater natural periods compared to their perfectly rigid frame counterparts. This causes the building to attract low loads during earthquakes. In this research study, the seismic performance of steel frames with semi-rigid joints is evaluated. Three connections with capacities of 50, 70 and 100% of the beam’s plastic moment are studied and examined. The seismic performance of these frames is determined by a non-linear static pushover analysis and an incremental dynamic analysis leading finally to the fragility curves which are developed. The results show that a decrease in the connection capacity increases the probability of reaching or exceeding a particular damage limit state in the frames is found.

Published: July 2021

Estimations of average crash density as a function of traffic elements and characteristics can be used for making good decisions relating to planning, designing, operating, and maintaining roadway networks. This study describes the relationships between total, collision, turnover, and runover accident densities with factors such as hourly traffic flow and average spot speed on multilane rural highways in Iraq. The study is based on data collected from two sources: police stations and traffic surveys. Three highways are selected in Wassit governorate as a case study to cover the studied locations of the accidents. Three highways are selected in Wassit governorate as a case study to cover the studied locations of the accidents. The selection includes Kut–Suwera, Kut–ShekhSaad, and Kut–Hay multilane divided highways located in the south of Iraq. The preliminary presentation of the studied highways was performed using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Data collection was done to obtain crash numbers and types over five years with their locations, hourly traffic flow, and average spot speed and define roadway segments lengths of crash locations. The cumulative speed distribution curves introduce that the spot speed spectrum for each highway's whole traffic extends over a relatively wide range, indicating a maximum speed of 180 kph and a minimum speed of 30 kph. Multiple linear regression analysis is applied to the data using SPSS software to attain the relationships between the dependent variables and the independent variables to identify elements strongly correlated with crash densities. Four regression models are developed which verify good and strong statistical relationships between crash densities with the studied factors. The results show that traffic volume and driving speed have a significant impact on the crash densities. It means that there is a positive correlation between the single factors and crash occurrence. The higher volumes and the faster the driving speed, the more likely it is to crash. As the hourly traffic flow of automobile grows, the need for safe traffic facilities also extended.

A Data Mining Perspective on the Confluent Ions` Effect for Target Functionality
Authors: Fazelabdolabadi Babak , Montazeri Mostafa , Pourafshary Peyman 
Published: July 2021

The production of hydrocarbon resources at an oil field is concomitant with challenges with respect to the formation of scale inside the reservoir rock – intricately impairing its permeability and hindering the flow. Historically, the effect of ions is attributed to the undergone phenomenon; nevertheless, there exists a great deal of ambiguity about its relative significance compared to other factors, or the effectiveness as per the ion type. The present work applies a data mining strategy to unveil the influencing hierarchy of the parameters involved in driving the process within major rock categories – sandstone and carbonate – to regulate a target functionality. The functionalities considered evolve around maximizing the oil recovery, minimizing permeability impairment/ scale damage. A pool of experimental as well as field data was used for this sake, accumulating the bulk of the available literature data. The methods used for data analysis in the present work included the Bayesian Network, Random Forest, Deep Neural Network, as well as Recursive Partitioning. The results indicate a rolling importance for different ion species - altering under each functionality – which is not ranked as the most influential parameter in either case. For the oil recovery target, our results quantify a distinction between the source of ion of a single type, in terms of its influencing rank in the process. This latter deduction is the first proposal of its kind – suggesting a new perspective for research. Moreover, the machine learning methodology was found to be capable of reliably capturing the data – evidenced by the minimal errors in the bootstrapped results.

Authors: Kalpazidou Georgia , Ladopoulos Dimitris Alexandros , Papakonstantinou Theofano 
Published: July 2021

This article focuses on the negative representation of Roma in Greece in the early twenty-first century. It investigates how negative feedback takes the form of a self-fulfilling prophecy that suppresses the self-esteem of young Roma and maintains a distance between Romani identity and education despite several positive yet little known examples of Romani scientists and scholars. The article questions how negative Romani images canbe reversed in order to enhance Roma’s educational success. The importance of innovative educational activities based on Romani literature, critical multiculturalism, and the parameter of Romani bilingualism is highlighted. Particularly, the article focuses on the power and the echo that stories can have (storytelling),where protagonists have a Romani connection or identity and are portrayed as positive models, both within classrooms with Romani students and within a society where the idea of Romani literature is a fantasy.

Standard health data exchange model enables the use and reuse of data to improve maternal health programs and services: a case study from India
Authors: Kumar Manish , Mostafa Javed 
Published: July 2021

Background The evidence on development of a health data exchange (HDX) in India is lacking, both in terms of the use of data for patient care (use) and aggregate data use (reuse) to improve maternal health services and programs. This study describes the requirements and proposes an HDX model development, focused on the adoption and use of design standardization. Methods A landscape analysis was conducted through a literature review to understand the existing HDX models. A qualitative case study focusing on a tertiary care state government hospital in India was performed. Twenty key informants were selected through purposive sampling and virtual interviews were undertaken. A mix of deductive and primarily inductive data analysis was conducted using the NVIVO 12.0 software. Findings Following an iterative design process and based on the essential requirements suggested by the key informants, an inter-organizational HDX scheme was developed. The HDX model leverages the electronic health records to enable the use of data for patient care, and use of aggregate patient data to support management and administrative decisions at the institutional, state-wide and national levels. The model describes how to balance the inter-organizational and intra-organizational data exchange needs. Integrating systems at the local level with those at the state and the national level was identified as one of the key components of this process. Conclusions The patient-level data is critical for the delivery of best attainable health care. At the same time, the aggregate data is critical, especially in the domain of decision-making and global health. The development of a versatile HDX model is a pre-requisite for a successful use and reuse of data, by ensuring that no functionality is lost and that the data is used in the best way possible.
