Published: December 2022

AbstractThis article defines "cultural experience" and places it in a holistic conceptual model; “the cultural city” where it plays a relevant role in improving the performing of cities. The conceptual model combines the basic elements of the heritage city, the smart city and the creative city. The city is interpreted from a threefold perspective; as a repository of resources, as a connective interface, and as the setting for citizens' life and social and professional experiences. In this context, each of these perspectives incorporates culture in a different way, enabling different models of value creation and different processes of production and reproduction of this value. In each of the urban models described above, production processes that combine symbolic, physical, financial, social, human and cultural capital in different ways and urban strategies are implemented to provide cultural experiences that ignite transformative effects through several spillovers. That means that culture, in its different dimensions, regains the role of a raw material and becomes the point of origin to activate development processes and improve urban performance. The integration of the dimensions of the heritage city, the creative city and the smart city through an enabling context is the core proposal of the “cultural city”. In alignment with the New European Agenda for Culture, we deepen the analysis in the specific spillovers on wellbeing and quality of life, citizen engagement and urban renewal as the backbone of a set of external effects of cultural experiences. In the final part of this article, we test the plausibility of this speculative proposal through some empirical evidence. We develop an OLS model with proxy indicators, that could be considered transitional indicators, for the three different potential strategies (heritage, smart, creative). The findings support the assertion that it is conceivable that the supply of cultural experiences through a variety of tactics (heritage city, smart city and creative city) can account in part for the growth of European cities in the years after the 2008 financial crisis. These strategies have contributed to the good performance of the urban device in a way that is positive, not negligible (accounting for around 50% of the variance in productivity) and statistically significant. The provision of a context that increases the cultural experiences for citizens has clearly improved the performance of European cities, and we develop some conceptual and empirical mechanisms to explain and measure the socioeconomic impacts of these processes.

Abstract
Background
Childhood anaemia is one of the most common public health problems worldwide. Here, we aim to describe the knowledge and practices on childhood anaemia, thalassaemia and iron deficiency among mothers of children aged between 6 and 59 months in a suburban district of Sri Lanka.

Methods
We performed a cross-sectional survey in the Gampaha District of Sri Lanka from December 2020 to February 2021. One well-baby clinic each from four Medical Officer of Health areas in the district was selected using stratified random sampling. Mothers of all children aged between 6 and 59 months attending well-baby clinics were recruited until the sample size was achieved. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analysed using logistic regression.

Results
A total of 392 mothers were recruited; 53% of their children were males. Only 33% of mothers had an accurate understanding of anaemia, while 71% and 28%, respectively, could name at least one symptom and two causes of anaemia; 12% could not name a single food rich in iron. Only 13% of mothers knew that thalassaemia is a cause of anaemia, and 14% had been screened for thalassaemia. Logistic regression analysis that examined for factors associated with higher knowledge of anaemia revealed that an accurate understanding of anaemia was associated with maternal age over 30 years (p < 0.05) and maternal education level beyond grade ten (p < 0.001). In contrast, higher knowledge of symptoms of anaemia was associated with maternal employment (p < 0.01).

Conclusions
The knowledge of anaemia and awareness of thalassaemia among mothers was poor. Very few mothers were aware of iron-rich food and feed it to their children. Despite being located in a thalassaemia-endemic region, very few knew that thalassaemia is a cause of anaemia and have got themselves screened for thalassaemia.
Body Fat Distribution, Fasting Insulin Levels, and Insulin Secretion: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study
Authors: Gagnon Eloi , Mitchell Patricia L , Arsenault Benoit J 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Context
Hyperinsulinemia and adiposity are associated with one another, but the directionality of this relation is debated.

Objective
Here, we tested the direction of the causal effects of fasting insulin (FI) levels and body fat accumulation/distribution using 2-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR).

Methods
We included summary statistics from large-scale genome-wide association studies for body mass index (BMI, n = 806 834), waist to hip ratio adjusted for BMI (WHRadjBMI, n = 694 649), abdominal subcutaneous, visceral and gluteofemoral adipose tissue (n = 38 965), FI levels (n = 98 210), pancreatic islets gene expression (n = 420), and hypothalamus gene expression (n = 155). We used inverse variance-weighted and robust MR methods that relied on statistically and biologically driven genetic instruments.

Results
Both BMI and WHRadjBMI were positively associated with FI. Results were consistent across all robust MR methods and when variants mapped to the hypothalamus (presumably associated with food behavior) were included. In multivariable MR analyses, when waist circumference and BMI were mutually adjusted, the direct effect of waist circumference on FI was 2.43 times larger than the effect of BMI on FI. FI was not associated with adiposity. By contrast, using genetic instruments mapped to gene expression in pancreatic islets (presumably more specific to insulin secretion), insulin was positively associated with BMI and abdominal subcutaneous and gluteofemoral adipose tissue, but not with visceral adipose tissue.

Conclusion
Although these results will need to be supported by experimental investigations, results of this MR study suggest that abdominal adiposity may be a key determinant of circulating insulin levels. Alternatively, insulin secretion may promote peripheral adipose tissue accumulation.

A Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem reflete a população masculina, que frequenta menos que a população feminina,os serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde. Este comportamento é influenciado por diversos fatores biopsicossocioculturais. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi identificar os fatores dificultadores para o acesso e acompanhamento de rotina do homem nas instituições de saúde. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada nos Bancos de Dados online da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde, sendo elas: ScientificElectronic Library Online, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde e a Base de Dados de Enfermagem. A amostra foi composta por 10 artigos publicados durante o período de 2010 a 2021. A coleta dos artigos foi realizada durante o 2º semestre de 2021, nos meses de agosto e setembro, pelo pesquisador responsável. Foi utilizado um formulário de elaboração própria para a captação dos artigos da amostra. Com a análise dos artigos, foi observado que as barreiras que dificultam a busca do público masculino aos serviços de saúde são os horários de funcionamento das unidades que não coincidem com o horário de trabalho; as equipes de saúde serem constituída maioritariamente por mulheres; a demora em conseguir atendimento; e o pensamento de infalibilidade do homem. Portanto, estes fatores dificultadores contribuem para a piora na qualidade de vida do homem de modo a diminuir a sua expectativa de vida, bem como aumentar o índice de doenças crônicas transmissíveis e não transmissíveis que podem ser evitadas.

No final de 2019 o mundo foi atingido pela pandemia de SARS-CoV-2. Esse vírus provoca sintomas semelhantes a outros vírus respiratórios. Por isso, o diagnóstico correto por meio de exames laboratoriais se faz necessário. Porém, existem muitos testes sendo comercializados e os laboratórios precisam fazer a escolha de qual vão disponibilizar e utilizar. O objetivo do trabalho foi evidenciar a forma de escolha dos laboratórios de análises clínicas do município de Porto Alegre, Brasil, para disponibilizar cada tipo de teste. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, retrospectivo. A pesquisa foi feita através de um formulário eletrônico respondido pelos laboratórios que estavam disponibilizando exames de COVID-19, no perído de 03/2020 a 02/2021. O formulário foi preparado em duas fases. A primeira questionou sobre os exames realizados no próprio estabelecimento e na segunda sobre os exames terceirizados. Eles foram indagados sobre o peso dos motivos de escolha desses testes de 0 a 5 para alguns parâmetros. A análise foi descritiva simples. De 42 convidados, 13 laboratórios (31%) participaram da pesquisa, desses 12 realizavam exames no seu próprio laboratório, 4 apenas realizavam no seu laboratório e 8 além de realizarem no seu laboratório também terceirizavam e 1 apenas terceirizava. Os motivos de escolha mais importantes foram características de desempenho e validação no próprio serviço respectivamente. Os nove laboratórios que terceirizavam apresentaram como parâmetro mais importante a metodologia utilizada para diagnóstico. Parâmetros como laboratório de apoio parceiro, registro na Anvisa, características de desempenho e confiabilidade no laboratório parceiro tiveram bastante relevância. O preço teve importância média para as duas fases.

Published: December 2022

Ainda hoje, pouco é relatado na literatura científica sobre a participação do profissional farmacêutico nas práticas clínicas e rotinas hospitalares, principalmente quando se refere à saúde da mulher. Nesse sentido, este trabalho teve como objetivo a descrição do perfil clínico-epidemiológico e farmacoepidemiológico de uma série de casos de mulheres hospitalizadas em um hospital de referência no norte do Paraná. Trata-se de uma série de casos clínicos atendidos e discutidos pela equipe multiprofissional em saúde da mulher no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários e durante a anamnese multiprofissional, no período de março a julho de 2021. Foram atendidas 444 mulheres e selecionadas 44 mulheres para análise e discussão. A maioria era gestante (77,3%), adultas com idade na faixa etária entre 30 e 39 anos, multíparas (94,1%), casadas (82,0%), desempregadas (54,5%), com Ensino Médio completo (43,2%), com sobrepeso ou obesidade (54,5%), com uma média de 4 diagnósticos múltiplos, com predomínio de hipertensão (31,8%) e diabetes (22,7%), e sujeitas a polifarmácia e possíveis interações medicamentos graves (25,0%) envolvendo medicamentos antidepressivos e analgésicos opióides. Dentre os medicamentos mais prescritos na prática estão a Insulina (86,4%), Dipirona (84,1%), Metoclopramida (70,5%) e Sulfato Ferroso (63,3%). De modo geral, conclui-se a importância do cuidado farmacêutico por contribuir na prevenção e redução de reações adversas medicamentosas e pela identificação de combinações inadequadas de medicamentos prescritos. Ademais, debates multiprofissionais, procedimentos de rotina, investigações prévias dos prontuários e das condutas descritas em literatura científica são capazes de coadjuvar no ensino-aprendizagem do profissional farmacêutico clínico.
Stadiums based on curvilinear geometry: Approximation of the ellipsoid offset surface
Authors: Borowska Anna 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis article provides an effective method of determining the coordinates of points and the angles for various surfaces approximating the ellipsoid surface. The stands of the stadium (with a capacity of up to 82,000 seats) with rows shaped by ellipse arcs were designed (in accordance with the European Standard EN 13200-1). An algorithm was proposed to determine the optimal height of the ring steps (with the guarantee of unobstructed vision of the entire playing field from each seat of the stands). The second algorithm ensures a comfortable space in each individual seating place in the stands (deviation of the depth of the row generated by ellipse arcs did not exceed 0.000009 m at any place of the stands). This article encourages readers to program DXF files (read in the AutoCAD system) to streamline design work.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) are widely used in current developing world due to their huge advantages of high specific strength, durability, low cost and weight reduction. But, major issue with this composite is their recyclability. To overcome this, researchers are considering polyolefin fiber for reinforcement purpose which can be reused and recycled and can be used as a reinforcement for concrete for industrial pavement to improve their tenacity. Polyolefin fibers also offer exterior impact strength to the composite because of their ductile nature. Due to their excellent impact property, they are used in high ballistic armor. This review paper contains the details about the FRPC, their processing technique, recent advancement in the processing technique VARIM, polyolefin fiber, properties of polyolefin fibers like polyethylene fiber and polypropylene fiber, polyolefin reinforced polymer composite, hybrid composite and their applications.

Authors: Rahman Sultana , Ajmal Muhammad , Siddiq Muhammad 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In this article, we reported the micron sized particles of poly (methacrylic acid) (p [MAA]) microgel and explored their applications as anionic adsorbents. The micron sized particles of poly (methacrylic acid) microgel were prepared by a simple inverse suspension polymerization method. The adsorptive elimination of adsorbates of cationic nature including malachite green (MG) and methylene blue (MB) from the aqueous medium was studied systematically. The adsorption tests were carried out using various initial concentrations of dyes and with different amounts of adsorbents. The adsorption equilibrium was established in 60 min. The adsorption capacity of the p (MAA) microgel was found as high as 351 mg/g for MG and 65 mg/g for MB. The maximum removal percentage for MG and MB was recorded as 88 and 68%, respectively. The adsorption data was computed with adsorption isotherm models including Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin. The Langmuir model was observed to be more applicable for the adsorption of MG while the adsorption of MB was best matched with Temkin model. The adsorption data was also treated with pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetic models along with intraparticle diffusion and Elovich models. The pseudo second order kinetic model was most suitable with adsorption of both the MG and MB.

Published: December 2022

Background and Study Aim. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of 8-week core and plyometric training on body composition and athletic performance in young male soccer players.
Material and Methods. 24 young male soccer players participated in the study voluntarily. The subjects were randomly divided into three separate groups: Core training group (CTG), plyometric training group (PTG) and control group (CG). In addition to soccer training two days a week for 8 weeks, the training was applied to the subjects according to the training programs determined. Physical and performance measurements were made 8 weeks before and after the study. Subject's measurements were analyzed in the SPSS 22 program.
Results. The largest percentage and significant difference in agility, speed, vertical jump and plyometric jump parameters was obtained in PTG, while the largest percentage and significant difference in horizontal jump parameters was obtained in CTG. While no difference was found in speed and agility performance in CTG; there are significant differences in jump performance but these differences are lower than the other experimental groups in terms of percentage difference. On the other hand in body composition, a significant change was observed only in the height parameter in PTG.
Conclusions. If a faster improvement is desired in the determined athletic performance parameters in a period of eight weeks in soccer, it may be recommended to prefer core and plyometric trainings in addition to branch training.

Background and Study Aim. The study intends to estimate the theoretical and applied perspectives of the Kinesiology discipline in the field of Sport and Physical Education science.
Material and Methods. A total number of 127 subjects (students of the Physical Education and Sport Department in the University of Pitești) participated in this research. There are 59 students in Physical Education and Sport (PES), 37 in Sport and Motor Performance (SMP) and 31 in Physical Education and Sport Conversion (PESC). The research was conducted during COVID-19 pandemic, in the academic year 2021-2022. The teaching and evaluation activity in the Kinesiology discipline was carried out online by means of Zoom program. The monitoring of the teaching activity was done with the help of the university e-learning platform. The opinions of the subjects on the discipline taught and the assessment of the teaching staff by the students were analyzed using Google Forms questionnaire. The fundamental basic knowledge in Kinesiology was evaluated using the following indicators: S1 (periodically evaluated activities) = A1 (40%) +A2 (20%), final evaluation (FE) – examination (40%), S2 – sum of the fractions of grade obtained at the periodic evaluations and those from the final verification.
Results. The analysis of the subjects’ opinions regarding the topic of the discipline taught reveals 5% moderate opinions, 16% - good and 79% very good ones. The evaluation of the basic fundamental knowledge in Kinesiology highlights the following values of the indicators: A1 (40%) – an average of 8.05 points between groups (p<0.01); A2 (20%) - an average of 7.95 points (p>0.05); S1 – an average of 4.81 points (p<0.05). The final evaluation (40%) in the exam shows an average of 3.36 points (p<0.01); S2 has 8.17 points (p<0.01); the final grade between groups has an average of 8.29 points, with differences of rounding in student’s favor (p<0.05). The analysis of students’ opinions concerning the teaching activity in Kinesiology discipline shows that 76% rate it as excellent, 14% - very good, 6.7% - good, 1.9% - satisfactory and 1.4% unsatisfactory (extracurricular activity).
Conclusions. There were shown the subjects’ opinions on the Kinesiology discipline topics and the weight of meeting the minimum and maximum performance standards. The preferred or practiced sports chosen in the researched study programs were presented. The results of the evaluation of the basic fundamental knowledge highlight the value of the averages between groups for the evaluated indicators. These results also reveal the opinions of the students about the didactic activity carried out by the professor in the discipline studied.
Error bounds for a class of history-dependent variational inequalities controlled by $\mathcal{D}$-gap~functions
Authors: CHEN Boling , TAM Vo Minh 
Published: December 2022

In the present paper, we are concerned with investigating error	bounds for history-dependent variational inequalities controlled by the difference gap (for brevity, $\mathcal{D}$-gap) functions. First, we recall a class of elliptic variational inequalities involving the history-dependent operators (for brevity, HDVI). Then, we introduce a new concept of gap functions to the HDVI and propose the regularized gap function for the HDVI via the optimality condition for the concerning minimization problem. Consequently, the $\mathcal{D}$-gap function for the HDVI depends on these regularized gap functions is established. Finally, error bounds for the HDVI controlled by the regularized gap function and the $\mathcal{D}$-gap function are derived under suitable conditions.

The analysis of parameters of social networks (information transfer to other users, traffic density, probability of network construction) is carried out. Three variants of solving the equation near the steady state of the system are considered. The protection of personal data increases from the growing factors of trust in information.Mathematical modeling of the dependence of personal data protection on trust is performed. The results obtained in the article showed that the protection of personal data is directly proportional to the reliability and trust, with constant security parameters. The protection of personal data increases with the growth of trust parameters.
