Wood-framed buildings are popular for residential and commercial construction due to their sustainability, costeffectiveness, and aesthetic appeal. However, their seismic performance is a concern, particularly in earthquakeprone regions. This study investigates the seismic performance of wood-framed buildings with advanced connection systems. The research evaluates the structural integrity and resilience of wood-framed buildings subjected to seismic loads. Advanced connection systems, including innovative fastening techniques and reinforced connections, are analyzed to determine their effectiveness in enhancing the seismic performance of wood-framed buildings. The study aims to provide valuable insights for designers, engineers, and builders to improve the seismic resilience of wood-framed buildings. seismic performance of wood-framed buildings, advanced connection systems, and structural wood design. Determine areas requiring further investigation. The fundamentals of displacement-based seismic design are presented along with a description of the system parameters required for its application. A simple numerical model capable of predicting the cyclic response and energy dissipation characteristics of wood shear walls under general quasi-static cyclic loading is presented to evaluate these parameters for wood-framed buildings. The generalization of this model to three-dimensional wood-framed structures is also discussed. As an application example, the displacement-based seismic design of a simple one-story shear wall building is presented. In turn, this design approach is validated by nonlinear dynamic time-history analyses using earthquake records representative of the hazard levels associated with the design performance levels.

Background: Surgeons frequently experience work-related musculoskeletal pain, which is a prevalent problem. This study aims to evaluate the patterns of musculoskeletal pain among a group of Sudanese surgeons. Methodology: This study utilized a cross-sectional survey design, in which 84 volunteers residing in the city of El-Obeid, located in the Northern Kordofan state, participated. We randomly selected contributors between May 2024 and June 2024, without taking into account their age or gender. Results: About 65.5% of the subjects, consisting of 75% females and 63% males, reported experiencing lower back pain. 43% of individuals reported experiencing neck pain, with 37.5% being women and 44% being men. The study found that males have a higher risk of experiencing neck pain. We calculated the relative risk (RR) to be 1.250, with a 95% confidence range (95%CI) of 0.501-3.122. A quarter of the participants, specifically 37.5% of females and 22% of males, reported experiencing shoulder pain. The likelihood of experiencing shoulder pain is slightly higher in females compared to males, with a relative risk (RR) of 1.178 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.880–1.576). Conclusion: Musculoskeletal discomfort is common among surgeons of various specialties in Sudan. The most often reported musculoskeletal pain was lower back, neck, and shoulder discomfort.
Social Medicine in Timor Leste
Authors: Anderson Tim 
Published: January 2025

‘“Social medicine”, a concept notably developed in Latin America by Salvador Allende in the 1930s, links up a broader model and ethos of public health with processes of social transformation. In recent years that influence has spread to Timor Leste, through a very large Cuban health cooperation and training program. This paper considers to what extent an endogenous “social medicine” might be developing in Timor Leste. Such a development would require transition away from the existing model based on small, private clinics.

The paper accepts Guzmán’s observation that Latin American social medicine is a wider, more dynamic and participatory model than that presented from European epidemiology – the ‘social determinants’ approach – but asserts that there are different forms of social medicine, conditioned by distinct histories and cultures. If earlier Chilean social medicine was a key element of that country’s radical social democracy, and Cuban social medicine expressed revolutionary solidarity and internationalism, what might be the character of an East Timorese social medicine?

This paper traces the idea of ‘social medicine’ from Chile, through Cuban solidarity aid, to the synthesis emerging in Timor Leste. This is an interpretive history, making use of past analyses, contemporary information on the Cuba-Timor Leste health program and the East Timorese responses. It includes a number of interviews and direct observations of pedagogy and practice. It concludes that a transition to social medicine in Timor Leste has some advantages: the large scale of the new training program; a sympathetic culture; and potential leadership. Less certain is the exact form of East Timorese social medicine. However the ideas seem set to be absorbed into a domestic culture of community solidarity, inclusive Christianity, and an independent spirit.

Aims: Cotton is a major fibre crop for textile industry and farmers in the world. Despite its tremendous importance, productivity constraints are still present. To eliminate productivity problem and increase the yield, the present investigation focused on developing new Bt cotton hybrids with better yield and fibre characteristics through estimation of heterosis in different combination of Bt and Non Bt parents.
Study Design: Randomized block design with three replication was used to conduct the experiment.
Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was conducted at Cotton Research Unit, Dr. PDKV, Akola, Maharashtra, during Kharif 2019 & 2020.
Methodology: The five diverse parents were crossed with one another as making four crosses of Bt x Bt parents and four crosses of Non-Bt x Bt parents. Eight F1 hybrids then were evaluated for heterosis performance for different morphological, yield, yield contributing traits and fibre traits with standard checks i.e. PDKV JKAL 116 and Ajeet 155 in Kharif 2020.
Results: Results showed that for seed cotton yield (kg/ha), the cross AKH 09-5 × ICAR-CICR Rajat Bt recorded highest 12.30% standard heterosis over the check PDKV JKAL 116. Significant standard heterosis of 35.83% and 34.36% was observed for no. of bolls per plant over both the checks. While the cross ICAR-CICR 081 Bt × ICAR-CICR Rajat Bt was found to be most heterotic for fibre parameters.
Conclusion: It was found that the Non-Bt × Bt crosses performed better for yield and its contributing trait than Bt × Bt crosses, while Bt × Bt crosses did gave good results for fibre quality parameters. Understanding the genetics behind, can be beneficial for the farming community.

Published: July 2023

Le sous-équipement, la destruction rapide du cadre de vie, l’inaccessibilité aux services de base et les vulnérabilités sont les problèmes environnementaux rencontrés dans les quartiers BATUMONA à Kimbanseke et TALANGAY à N’sele dans partie-Est de la ville de Kinshasa et méritent des solutions appropriées, pour espérer aux lendemains durables dans l’aire d’étude. Les mauvaises conditions d’approvisionnement en eau potable, électricité et assainissement dans les sites étudiés sont à la base de dysfonctionnement actuel dans les sites étudiés et risque de provoquer plus tard leurs isolements. Par ailleurs, l’étude précise que le phénomène de vulnérabilité est très peu connu sur le plan scientifique et trop peu pris en compte par les décideurs et autres acteurs des dynamiques urbaines sur le continent africain en général et en particulier en République Démocratique du Congo GUIGMA & ali.,(2015), MPIANA TSHITENGE, (2015) & KABUYAYA,(2015). Les études réalisées par plusieurs auteurs précisent que posséder une connaissance relative au phénomène des vulnérabilités environnementales exigent de s’intéresser tant aux causes qu’aux conséquences de ce phénomène. Ce phénomène résulte d’une problématique complémentaire qui se rapporte aux effets socio-économiques et environnementaux de la production de l’urbanisation et de la périurbanisation. Il s’agit là de la problématique émergente de l’efficacité urbaine, qui n’est d’autre que la manière dont l’organisation de l’espace urbain produit des effets souhaités sur le triple volet social, économique et environnemental MESSINA, (2018). En rapport avec les résultats de l’étude, l’on peut considérer que dans la perception du concept de vulnérabilité environnementale, les conditions environnementales immédiates des sujets enquêtés ont beaucoup joué dans le contenu formulé sous le concept. Les précarités urbaines et plusieurs manifestations de catastrophes et risques environnementaux auxquels sont confrontés plusieurs enquêtés ont élevé les scores de deux principales assertions, à savoir : difficulté d’accès aux services de base et conditions de vie déplorables ainsi que l’exposition aux catastrophes naturelles. Les autres scores, non négligeables sont accidentels et dépendent de plusieurs contextes familiaux rencontrés par les ménages enquêtés.

Published: July 2023

Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2004 tentang Penghapusan Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (PKDRT) telah menjelaskan mengenai kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT). Penghapusan kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (PKDRT) ini merupakan jaminan yang diberikan oleh Negara untuk mencegah, melindungi, dan menindak lanjuti pelaku kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT). Namun dalam praktek ternyata masih ada korban yang mengalami kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dan melakukan penyelesaiannya masih ada yang menggunakan jalur kekeluargaan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum empiris. Pendekatan yang di gunakan adalah yuridis empiris pendekatan dari sudut pandang ketentuan hukum yang berlaku dan dengan apa yang dipraktekan, kemudian pendekatan yuridis sosiologis pendekatan dengan hukum yang berlaku dimasyarakat dengan mewawancarai korban terkait mengambil jalur penyelesaian secara kekeluargaan. Peneliian bersifat Deskiptif Kualitatif yaitu data yang diperoleh sesuai dengan permasalahan penelitian kemudian dianalisa, disusun sistematis sehingga diperoleh gambaran jelas dan lengkap dalam kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh dari Kepala Kepolisian Sektor Rote Timur kasus kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT) diselesaikan diluar pengadilan karena korban merasa pada saat melaporkan sedang emosi, merupakan salah satu alasan kasus kekerasan dalam rumah tangga diselesaikan melalui jalur non penal. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dari P.S Kanit Reskrim Wahyu Martono. Kemudian hasil penelitian yang diperoleh dari Kepala Kepolisian Sektor Rote Timur terkait mekanisme penyelesaian kasus kekerasan dalam rumah tangga (KDRT) lewat jalur non penal/kekeluargaan yaitu Korban melaporkan kepada pihak kepolisian kemudian akan di buatkan laporan oleh polisi, hasil keterangan pelapor akan dituangkan dalam Berita Acara Pemeriksaan (BAP), pihak kepolisian mendatangkan semua pihak baik korba, pelaku, perangkat desa, dan tokoh agama, dibuatkan surat pernyataan yang disetujui bersama atas keputusan yang berasal dari kesepakatan kedua pihak.
