Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To report clinical features and outcomes of cats undergoing either stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) or surgical excision for the treatment of intracranial meningioma.

ANIMALS
61 client-owned cats.

METHODS
Medical records were retrospectively reviewed of cats with intracranial meningiomas that were treated with surgical removal and/or SRT between 2005 and 2017. Signalment, clinical signs, duration of clinical signs, diagnostic imaging reports, histopathology reports, treatment protocol, complications, recurrence or progression, and survival time were obtained from the medical record and through follow-up phone calls.

RESULTS
Of the 61 patients, 46 had surgery, 14 had SRT, and 1 had surgery followed by SRT for initial treatment. Significantly more cats that underwent surgery had peritreatment complications compared to the SRT group (P < .0001). Cats that received surgery initially had a significantly longer median survival time (MST) of 1,345 days compared to the MST of 339 days for the SRT cats (P = .002). Fourteen (30%) cats in the surgery group and 4 cats in the SRT group (28%) had MRI- or CT-confirmed tumor regrowth or new tumor growth (P = 1.00). Five cases that had SRT for subsequent recurrence had an MST of 700 days (range, 335 to 1,460 days) after the last treatment.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
SRT proved to be a safe, alternative treatment option for feline patients with intracranial meningiomas; however, the survival times with surgery alone were significantly longer. SRT for the treatment of recurrence following initial surgery may show promising results.
How do High-Rise Buildings Affect the Mental Image of Users? Case Study: Seljuk Tower in Konya
Authors: Khaleghimoghaddam Navid 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Due to their physical and identity features, high-rise buildings play a key role in influencing the citizens’ mental image. This study aims to investigate the bilateral link between the environment and people based on user evaluations of the formal and physical features of high-rise buildings. By emphasizing the impacts of formal, functional, and semantic aspects of high-rise buildings on users’ preferences, the study identifies perceptual components and physical features that shape mental image. To this end, using the library research method, the perceptual components of high-rise buildings are introduced as the conceptual model of the study. Then, the relevant components are evaluated using a survey of 217 users of the Seljuk Tower in Konya. The results show that the ‘sense of pleasure when facing the tower’ has the most significant correlation with the users’ perception. The “degree of innovation of the form” and the “materials used in the building” are the other priorities that influence the users” perception. The results also show that affective and cognitive perceptual dimensions influence users’ mental image significantly more than evaluative and interpretative dimensions.
Child-Friendliness of Urban Space in the Example of Łabędy
Authors: Szewiola Helena 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Children have long been a group whose needs and perspectives have been widely ignored in public spaces, despite several international legal documents and regulations proving their rights in the city. Based on those, child-friendliness criteria have been proposed and described. The established guidelines of: mobility and access, safety and security, attractiveness and comfort have been further explored through surveys conducted with minors. Subsequently, these criteria have been applied to the chosen district of Łabędy, to examine how they present in existing public spaces.
The goal of the paper is to explore how child-friendliness criteria showcased in an average district and how average city development can create spaces and solutions that are friendly for children.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The main objective of the “DPDT-Auger” research project was to test the prototype DPDT auger for forming screw displacement piles in the ground (patented in Poland in 2020). An additional aim was to develop design methods and rules for the making of such piles. The augers and piles were first tested on a model scale, and then more extensively in the real scale on experimental field plots. The results found the overall functionality of the DPDT auger to be good, and in several aspects better than that of the SDP auger. The load-bearing capacities and Q-s characteristics of piles made with both augers were considered comparable. All the conducted tests and their derived dependencies together with the results of in situ subsoil tests allowed for the development of empirical calculation methods and prognostic procedures, useful for designing and producing piles with DPDT and SDP augers. FEM numerical simulation rules for the considered piles were also developed, verified and calibrated by the results of real pile tests. This article describes only the most important final results of the research project but not the detailed results of the numerous tests and analyses that were carried out. Also omitted are the results of model tests and numerical simulations, as well as the implementation and acceptance recommendations, as they have already been or will be the subject of separate publications.
Size Effect of Synthetic Fibre Reinforced Concrete – Investigation using a Semi-Discrete Analytical Beam Model
Authors: Tóth Mária Erdélyiné , Pluzsik Anikó 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The size effect is a well-known characteristic of concrete structures. However, in the case of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC), this issue is not thoroughly explored. Most design recommendations of FRC neglect the size effect or handle the behaviour of FRC structures in case of different structural sizes similar to plain concrete structures (assuming FRC is a homogeneous material). The aim of this paper is to show that the size effect of FRC can be divided, the share of the concrete matrix and the fibres in the size-dependent properties is separable. For the size effect research fifteen synthetic macro fibre reinforced concrete and six plain concrete beam specimens were prepared and tested in three different sizes and then evaluated with the semi-discrete analytical (SDA) model. The analysis of the experimental specimens has shown that the size effect significantly influences the concrete material in the case of FRC with softening material behaviour, but the residual loadbearing capacity which mainly arise from the local bridging effect of fibres is essentially independent of the structural size. It is also shown in this paper that the two defining parameters of the SDA model is independent of the structural size, so the model provides an excellent tool in case of the design of real-sized FRC structures.
The Analysis of Pile Skin and Base Resistances Interaction Based on Static Pile Load Test in Experimental Research
Authors: Żarkiewicz Krzysztof 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Static pile load tests in laboratory conditions were carried out to study the mechanism of the pile skin and pile base resistance mobilization with settlement and their interactions. The mechanism of the skin resistance at the base is important in the correct interpretation of the pile capacity. Especially in the case of piles shallowly embedded in the bearing layer. In the studies described in this article, high-precision piezoelectric elastic stress maps were used. The tests were carried out on piles with a diameter of 2.5–2.8 cm, and length of 40 cm. Static pile load tests were carried out to measure resistance at the pile base, settlement and change of stress in the soil at the level of the pile base or beneath the pile base were measured. The analysis of stress in soil allowed to investigate the interaction between the resistances of the pile base and skin. The state of stress in the soil close to the pile base, both beneath and above the pile base level was heavily influenced by the simultaneous mobilization of skin and base resistance.
Heating Ceiling System Efficiency in Different Climate Zones
Authors: Fidorów-Kaprawy Natalia , Dudkiewicz Edyta 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
There are many benefits of building construction with prefabricated thermo active ceilings technology, and the most highlighted are: short lead time, ease of installation, low price, lack of taking up space in a room and additionally the possibility of working in heating and/or cooling mode. An analysis was carried out to illustrate the factors that influence the thermal output of a ceiling heating system in residential buildings located in 5 climate zones in Poland and 2 in Ukraine. The thermal loads were determined for the entire building, designed in accordance with the regulations in force in each country, for the flats and particular rooms (considering the heat exchange between the flats according to PN-EN 12831:2006). An average heating medium temperature of 34°C was assumed. The results were compared with the achievable heating capacity of the ceiling system, which results from the difference between the heating medium temperature and the indoor room temperature. It was investigated that the system achieves the calculated output in all climate zones in Poland, while it will not be sufficient in Ukraine. This is due to both less stringent building thermal protection regulations and different indoor design temperature values, resulting in a higher average temperature in the flat. When analysed on a room-by-room basis, it became apparent that in all considered locations there were rooms for which the heating capacity was insufficient. In the climate zones I to IV in Poland, the problem concerns only bathrooms, where in this case quite often the surface heating can be combined with a supplementary electric radiator. In the V climate zone in Poland and both in Ukraine, the solution to the power shortage under design conditions may be: building construction according to a higher energy standard, increasing the supply temperature (with the limitation of maximum ceiling surface temperature to 35°C for living spaces) or using additional heating elements not only in bathrooms. A novel part of the article discusses calculated power shortages in relation to climate change and the external design temperatures suggested by sources other than the standard.

Authors: Szewczyński Krystian 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This scientific article is dedicated to the analysis of the impact of vehicle fires on the urban environment. In the context of the dynamic processes of urbanization and societal mobilization, understanding the consequences of vehicle fires becomes exceedingly important for ensuring sustainable urban development and improving residents’ quality of life. The article presents the results of spatial analyses of vehicle fires that occurred within the Warsaw area between 2010 and 2021. In the analytical section, an attempt was made to identify the parts of the city where residents were most exposed to the emission of toxic substances. According to the presented calculations, almost 3 tons of toxic substances are released into the atmosphere every year as a result of vehicle fires in Warsaw. The article also provides information about the materials used in motor vehicles and assesses their environmental impact through the emission of hazardous substances in the event of a vehicle fire. Proposed changes that could minimize the number of vehicle fires in the future are also indicated in the article, thereby contributing to increased road safety levels in the city and positively influencing the environment.

Published: October 2023

Objective: The objective of this work was to detect and measure the occurrence of alterations in the behavior of the actions of companies listed in the Brazilian capital market in the period of the political-economic crisis that began in 2014 with the Lava Jato Operação, da Policia Federal.

Theoretical reference: The main works reviewed in this research foram the studies carried out by Mazviona and Elias (2013), Dzaja and Aljinovic (2013), Rangel (2014), Maitah et al. (2015), Singh et al. (2015), Shweta and Sharma (2015), Janata (2016), Xiao (2016) and Nyangara et al. (2016).

Method: The betas of the years are calculated for three years before and three years after the data of the start of the operation. We analyzed the data from the years of 42 companies and estimated the betas for both periods, by linear regression. The betas of both periods were compared and then submitted to the Chow Test for detection of structural failure.

Results and conclusion: The results show an elevation of risk (increase in two beta values) for the years of 31 companies and reduction for the years of another 11 companies. There is structural bankruptcy between the betas of two periods, for the years of 20 companies, while the years of 22 companies do not evidence this phenomenon.

Implications of the research: Since there have been detected signs of negative impacts of the crisis on the risk of actions, the results are not conclusive. Or that it does not guarantee, on the other hand, the existence of a risk balance in the period, once the number of years with structural failure between the two periods was significant.

Originality/value: This study explores an important gap in empirical studies carried out in the context of the Lava Jato operation, in which the Federal Police investigated a money laundering and diversion scheme involving Petrobrás, large companies and several Brazilian politicians, a situation that practically paralyzed o Federal Executive, lifting the country to a state of waiting and uncertainty with great reflections on the Brazilian economy.
