Auditory and non-auditory effects, monitoring and mapping of occupational exposure to noise
Authors: Luzzi Sergio , Vasilyev Andrey V. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Noise, defined as unwanted or misplaced sound, produces negative impacts on people’s health and well-being and is a growing concern of health authorities, administrators, educators.
Some reviews of the legislative and regulatory scenarios, show a clear lack of consideration of the non-auditory effects produced by exposure to noise and poor acoustic quality in the workplace, this paper refers to experiences and methods aimed at understanding the different aspects of risk.
Non-auditory aspects are added to the auditory ones, considered at the moment as the only area of noise risk assessment.
The acute extra-auditory effects from exposure to noise are also studied. Among the risk-enhancing factors we consider the negative synergy between noise and air pollution. Analysis of industrial noise at operator’s positions of different industrial sites was carried out. The results of measurements are allowing determine positions with significant excesses of the sanitary standards of noise levels and valid sanitary norms. Especially significant noise values were observed in low frequency range.
Maps of noise levels at working places of different industrial sites were developed.

Published: December 2022

Biodiesel has become increasingly common and significant alternative to traditional petroleum fuel in recent years. However, biodiesel has some adverse effects to the engine components materials. Therefore, in this study, wear simulation of automotive engine component materials was done using computational fluid dynamics approach to develop wear mechanism map. A pin-on-disc configuration was considered as a simulation model of wear under biodiesel using three different types of steel materials whereby load was applied from pin to disc during the simulation process. The relationship between wear rate, applied load and sliding velocity were simulated and discussed followed by a wear mechanism map. The corrosive and abrasive wear mixture were dominated for stainless steel, carbon steel and low-alloy steel. Stainless steel showed more wear-resistant behavior than other materials under biodiesel exposure. The individual wear map generated for the individual material is also discussed in the context of the wear mechanisms observed under biodiesel contact.

The goal of our research aims to develop a mathematical model for consensus control system based on Lyapunov Theory and nonlinear dynamics functional equations. This paper describes a new solution that deals with the general-consensus problem and the leader-following consensus problem of non-linear multi-agent system (NMAS) in which the parameters of all follower agents can be different, and with an unforced agent as the leader in the multi-agent system (MAS). Different control rules were constructed for each different follower agent based on its own state variables and its communication with adjacent agents. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the developed mathematical model. The results have demonstrated the designed distributed control system satisfy the Lyapunov Theory since all the agents have converged to its steady state after a period of time.

Published: December 2022

The aim of the project is to study experimentally the influence of the semi-elliptical defect on the steel of grade API 5L X52 pipeline and its reparation by welding operation to keep the safety of hydrocarbons transport network. The tests have been performed on the specimens with/without semi-elliptical defects by using two ratios a/c and a/t, where the defects issue on the piping systems wall is treated by using the welding operation, which focuses on the filling the defected surface as same thickness of the base wall of the pipeline after removing the defects. The decrease of ultimate stress is mainly evident depending on the size of crack, where they compared to the base metal results. The experimental results showed that the reliability of the welding operation is proved especially in the ratio a/c =1, which is similar to that found in automatically welded. It is proved that the ratio a/t = 0.2 curve exhibits similarity to the base metal curve and their elongation conforms to API standard of steel X52 grade. Clearly, corrosion defects cause degradation of mechanical property in the order of 44% to 50% depending on the ratio of 0 < a/c ≤1 and from 20% to 80% according to the second ration of 0 < a/t ≤0.8. The obtained results proved that the enhanced of mechanical properties by welding reaches to ultimate stress is 559 MPa for the ratio a/t = 0.2 and 531 MPa for the ratio a/t = 0.5. Finally, the experimental results provided that the impact of semi-elliptical defect has effects on the safety of piping systems where welding became as one of among solutions to repair the piping systems.

Authors: Nevado Minaya Marcos , Fernández Company Fernando 
Published: December 2022

Si bien durante las últimas décadas desde la musicoterapia se han desarrollado numerosas investigaciones que muestra sus bondades y eficacia, las investigaciones dedicadas a su uso en personas adultas con enfermedades mentales institucionalizadas son escasas. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es el de conocer la eficacia de un programa de musicoterapia en la mejora de los niveles de alexitimia, anhedonia social, autoestima y expresividad emocional en personas adultas con problemas de salud mental institucionalizadas. Se realizaron ocho sesiones de musicoterapia activa basadas en el modelo Nordoff-Robbins, una por semana, con una duración de 60 minutos. Participaron en el estudio 10 pacientes adultos de salud mental (60% mujeres, M= 52.66 mujeres y 49.75 hombres). Aunque los resultados no mostraron cambios significativos en las variables estudiadas con respecto al uso de la musicoterapia, sí que se pudo observar un incremento de la autoestima en la mayoría de los participantes, un descenso en la media general de alexitimia y un mayor nivel de expresiones emocionales positivas después de cada sesión. En definitiva, se considera necesario realizar más investigaciones de calidad para ampliar el conocimiento acerca de la eficacia de las intervenciones con musicoterapia en el ámbito de la salud mental de personas adultas institucionalizadas.

El sustrato náhuatl en el español de Nicaragua según El Diccionario de la lengua española (DLE)
Authors: Zamora Úbeda Zobeyda C. 
Published: December 2022

El presente artículo es un estudio léxico y semántico de las voces de origen náhuatl registradas en el Diccionario de la lengua española (DLE). La metodología utilizada es contrastiva, debido a que se analizan los artículos léxicos presentes en el DLE con etimología náhuatl, con marca de Nicaragua. El objetivo general es advertir el tratamiento de las palabras de procedencia náhuatl en el DLE, con especial reparo en su ortografía y significado. Entre los principales hallazgos, se encontró que, en los artículos léxicos de indigenismos procedentes de la lengua estudiada, se omite la glosa cabal del étimo y no se representa adecuadamente la grafía etimológica de la lengua originaria, como en los de achiote, camanance, champa2, chiche, colocho, guacal, huipil. Por otro lado, algunas palabras no aparecen con la marca diatópica de Nicaragua, a pesar de que deberían tenerla: cenzontle 'ave', chilamate 'árbol', chiltepe 'árbol', chinamo 'casa' y chingaste ‘residuos de granos’.
Los determinantes en el español: una aproximación onomasiológica
Authors: Meneses Tutaya Norma 
Published: December 2022

En este estudio se presenta la categoría léxica determinante desde una aproximación onomasiológica que involucra los aspectos funcionales, pragmáticos y cognitivos, a partir de una interpretación personal de la teoría de Coseriu (1973) sobre la determinación. El objetivo es establecer una propuesta gramatical de base funcional que permita explicar cómo funciona el sistema de los determinantes en el español mediante el reconocimiento de su carácter pragmático. Se concluye que en el sistema determinativo del español, compuesto por los artículos, los posesivos, los demostrativos y los cuantificadores, a los cuales se propone añadir los selectores, y algunos interrogativos, exclamativos y relativos, constituyen un sistema deíctico. Asimismo, desde una interpretación cognitiva, se plantea que los componentes de este sistema son palabras gramaticales que representan las relaciones lógicas entre los participantes del discurso y el referente del sintagma nominal.

What is Politics?
Authors: Jokubaitis Alvydas 
Published: December 2022

The division of political scientists into philosophers and sociologists is an important factor behind their inability to understand politics. Sociologists are incapable of grasping the whole, philosophers are bad at understanding particularities. The aim of the paper is to show the inadequacy of both of these forms of knowledge. Immanuel Kant’s conception of aesthetic judgement allows us to gain a better understanding of politics. Hannah Arendt attempted to explain Kant’s Critique of Judgment as an important treatise for political philosophy. The power of judgement opens up a broad horizon for our imagination. Ideas can be associated with various different appearances and this is why reliable theoretical definition of politics is impossible. It is impossible to ascribe an adequate object of experience to the idea of politics and for this very reason various substitutes are used. The formation of these substitutes corresponds to the requirements of the power of judgement that connects universality to particularity. The analysis of the aesthetic judgement reveals why attempts to define politics face unsolvable difficulties. Philosophers and sociologists attempt to gain a theoretical understanding of an object which belongs to the realm of aesthetic judgement. The article does not provide an answer to the problem of definition of politics, it shows why such a definition is impossible.
On Reality and Law, or What was Plato Doing in Syracuse?
Authors: Šerpytytė Rita 
Published: December 2022

The article critically reconsiders the attitude of Giorgio Agamben, which indicate the “unreality” of the action denoted by the term “realization” as opposite to reality. This question is primarily projected into Hegel’s philosophy, in which reality is not equated with actuality (Wirklichkeit) and realization with actualization. It is considered what could be the basis of such Agamben’s approach, which does not see the need to distinguish between reality (Realität) and actuality (Wirklichkeit). The reliance on Aristotle’s metaphysics, the division of dynamis and energeia is of crucial importance in Agamben’s philosophy. It is this point that allows Agamben to apply the term “reality” to only ontologically treated realtà and at the same time contrast it with the movement of an ontic nature – realization. When raising the question – what does it mean to realize laws? – the controversial relationship between the law and reality is considered.

Abstract. The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has changed various aspects of human life which has hampered all activities including education in Indonesia and urged the implementation of distance learning which has never been done simultaneously before. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on final year students can also trigger stress. So, in dealing with perceived stress, an individual will carry out coping as an effort to reduce demands or eliminate perceived stressful situations. One of the coping used is by final year students of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Padjadjaran University. The purpose of this study was to describe the coping strategies used by final year students during the thesis completion process during the Covid-19 pandemic which consisted of two dimensions and eight forms of coping strategies described by Lazarus and Folkman including; dimensions of problem focused coping namely planful problem solving, confrontative coping, and seeking for social support. And the emotion-focused coping namely positive reappraisal, accepting responsibility, self-controlling, distancing, and escape avoidance. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method with interview techniques and literature study. Keywords: Coping strategy, Stress, Final Year Students. Abstrak.

Abstract. The problem of food is indeed a very complicated problem to discuss and is a fundamental matter for humans. Because it involves survival and survival and is related to other problems. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government is again planning to re-utilize sago as a staple food that needs to be developed through the Nusantara Sago Week 2020. Sago contributes to the fulfillment of food in Indonesia, not only rice and can provide economic opportunities. In the Mentawai Islands, is an area that has a lot of land and sago plants. However, this has not been ignored for a long time because many programs from the government are contradictory and have resulted in sago land and the Sarereiket community being pressured. So that their access to food, which is mainly sago, has begun to be disrupted. This study uses an ethnographic approach with interpretation analysis. So that they can question and answer doubts about the phenomenon of food problems in South Siberut, especially for the Sarereiket people. Government intervention through policies and programs that lead to food causes harm and duality to the Sarereiket people. So they are in a dilemma and trapped in the simalakama trap of "eating or not eating sago" which is still being felt. Therefore, food sovereignty in South Siberut needs to be reviewed and measured according to the current situation in South Siberut.Keywords: Food Sovereignty, Food security, Mentawai, Sarereiket. Abstrak. Masalah pangan memang menjadi masalah yang sangat pelik untuk dibahas dan merupakan perkara yang fundamental bagi manusia. Karena menyangkut hanyat hidup dan keberlangsungan hidup serta terkait dengan masalah lainnya. Akibat pandemi Covid-19, pemerintah kembali menggadangkan untuk kembali mendayagunakan sagu sebagai pangan pokok yang perlu dikembangkan melalui Pekan Sagu Nusantara tahun 2020. Sagu turut andil dalam pemenuhan pangan di Indonesia bukan hanya beras dan dapat memberikan peluang ekonomi. Di Kepualauan Mentawai, merupakan wilayah yang banyak memiliki lahan dan tanaman sagu. Namun hal ini sudah lama tidak diabaikan karena banyak program-program dari pemeirntah yang bertentangan dan mengakibatkan lahan sagu dan masyarakat Sarereiket terdesak. Sehingga akses pangan mereka yang utama sagu mulai terganggu. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan etnografi dengan analisis interpretasi. Sehingga dapat mempertanyakan dan menjawab keraguan terhadap fenomena masalah pangan di Siberut Selatan khususnya bagi orang Sarereiket. Intervensi pemerintah melalaui kebijakan dan program yang bermuara pada pangan menyebabkan kerugian dan dualitas bagi orang Sarereiket. Sehingga mereka berada dalam sebuah dilema dan terjebak dalam perangkap simalakama “memakan atau tidak memakan sagu” yang hingga saat ini masih dirasakan. Oleh sebab itu, kedaulatan pangan di Siberut Selatan perlu ditinjau ulang dan ditakar sesuai keadaan yang terjadi di Siberut Selatan saat ini.Kata kunci: Kedaulatan Pangan, Ketahanan Pangan, Mentawai, Sarereiket.
Interventions Associated With Increased Nighttime Room Entries in General Medical Patients
Authors: McDaniel Lauren M. , Seshadri Nilesh , Tackett Sean , Ralston Shawn L. 
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Sleep is vital to recovery from illness, yet it is frequently interrupted in the hospital setting. Existing literature relying on survey data identifies vitals, medications, and pulse oximetry as major disruptors to sleep. This study was designed to assess the degree to which these candidate sleep disruptors are associated with objective room entries.

METHODS:
Room entry sensors were placed on doors to 18 rooms on acute medical–surgical units at a tertiary academic center. The number of entries into rooms between 10 Pm and 6 Am were logged on patients admitted to hospital medicine services from March 2021 through February 2022. Medical records were reviewed to extract orders for vital sign frequency, medication timing, continuous pulse oximetry, and intravenous fluid use overnight. Negative binomial regression was used to evaluate associations.

RESULTS:
Room entry data were collected for 112 admissions and 192 patient-nights. There was an average of 7.8 room entries per patient-night. After adjustments for the other variables and for patients represented in multiple nights, vitals ordered every 4 hours were associated with a 1.3-fold increase in room entries (95% confidence interval 1.0–1.5; P = .013), as were medications scheduled during overnight hours (1.3; 95% confidence interval 1.0–1.5; P = .016). There was no association between room entries and continuous pulse oximetry use. After adjustment, there was also no association with administration of intravenous fluids.

CONCLUSIONS:
Vitals ordered every 4 hours and medications scheduled during sleep hours are independently associated with increased room entries and may be reasonable initial targets for quality improvement interventions designed to minimize nighttime disruptions.
