Published: February 2022

This research was carried out to assess the effect of aggregate skeleton, temperature variation, and loading duration on the resilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures. Two different gradation methods, i.e., the conventional method of gradation and the Bailey method of gradation, were adopted to design the aggregate skeleton. The effect of these gradation methods, with temperature and loading duration, on the resilient modulus of asphalt concrete has not been previously investigated. The Modified Marshall Test was used to determine optimum binder content against 4% air voids, and then volumetric and strength parameters were calculated against optimum binder content. For performance tests, specimens were prepared at optimum binder content using a Superpave gyratory compactor. An indirect tensile strength test on both types of mixtures was conducted, and a 20% value of indirect tensile strength was kept for peak load, whereas 10% was kept for seating load for conducting resilient modulus tests. The tests were conducted at 100 and 300 ms duration loads under two different temperatures, i.e., 25 oC and 40 oC. The results declared that aggregate skeleton, temperature, and loading duration have a prominent effect on the resilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures. Bailey gradation mixtures disclosed higher resilient modulus values than conventional gradation mixtures. Higher values of resilient modulus were observed for both gradation mixtures at low temperatures and under small duration loads than at high temperatures and large duration loads. The results of the two-way factorial design also confirmed the above findings. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-02-07 Full Text: PDF

Atualmente existem diversos tipos de sistema de criação para bovinos, como o pasto em semiconfinamento e confinamento. O sistema de confinamento é muito utilizado no Brasil na produção de leite, trazendo bem-estar aos animais, resultando em maior produtividade. Com isso, produtores rurais vêm optando pelo sistema Compost Barn (celeiro de compostagem). Objetivou-se com este trabalho apresentar os resultados obtidos com uma ação de extensão universitária com base no confinamento Compost Barn, desenvolvido por professores e alunos da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados (UFGD). A atividade foi realizada no sítio Nossa Senhora do Abadia, localizado no município de Douradina – MS, que tem como principal atividade a produção de leite. A parceria para a ação ocorreu ao se implantar um sistema Compost Barn com capacidade para 30 vacas, em um barracão coberto, tendo uma área de descanso com palha de arroz, maravalha ou serragem para os animais, sendo separado por um corredor dos cochos e bebedouros. Inicialmente, foi realizada a pesagem do leite de cada vaca sendo, então, incorporada no confinamento as que apresentaram maior produção e as não diagnosticadas com mastite. Foi fornecida alimentação de silagem misturada com concentrado nos períodos da manhã e tarde. Os bezerros foram separados de suas mães no primeiro dia e receberam leite por meio de mamadeira. Os resultados da ação de extensão demonstraram que a implantação do Compost Barn possibilitou aumento da produtividade, sendo que: as vacas passaram a produzir mais leite, a incidência de carrapatos diminuiu e não ocorria disputa pelo alimento, já que havia disponibilidade de maior de área de cocho e alimento em abundância. A ocorrência de casos de mastite foi menor, além da proteção contra o excesso de chuva e sol, evitando problemas com laminite. O conforto animal também gerou aumento na produção de leite, além de possibilitar o controle da produção, do consumo e do ambiente, beneficiando, assim, o produtor rural. A ação também trouxe benéficos para a formação extensionista dos discentes, aprimorando seus conhecimentos com a vivência prática. Propiciou, ainda, avaliar um modelo de produção a ser a implantado em outras localidades, como no grupo quilombola e de assentados que, devido à pandemia, não puderam visitar a unidade, mas puderam assistir ao vídeo gravado e editado. Os resultados deste trabalho fomentaram a realização de cursos junto a outros grupos assistidos com ações de extensão, sendo divulgado em reuniões com pequenos produtores, assentados e quilombolas, multiplicando o alcance da ação.
Human Rights Foreign Policy Under Bolsonaro: Pleasing The Conservative Constituency
Authors: Monte Déborah Silva do , Hernandez Matheus de Carvalho 
Published: February 2022

Why is it difficult for Brazilian civil society organizations to stop the shift of Brazil’s positions in international human rights arenas? Why does the human rights dimension of Brazilian foreign policy suffer from the changes brought by Bolsonaro’s government? Based on new rational choice institutionalism and of foreign policy analysis, this study analyzes Bolsonaro’s human rights foreign policy, with a special focus on gender issues. Our hypotheses are that (1) Bolsonaro’s illiberal government, based on conservative and anti-human-rights positions of his constituency, instrumentalizes foreign policy because it allows him space to be more ideological and less pragmatic; and (2) the international arena is nestedwithin the electoral arena (the most important one), and the main objective of international inflections in the human rights issues of the Bolsonaro government is to please and energize Bolsonaro’s most conservative electorate. From these two hypotheses, we argue these changes are linked with a reconfiguration of the responsiveness of Brazilian foreign policy to societal pressures, privileging evangelical conservative organizations at the expense of progressive human rights organizations.

Published: February 2022

El Síndrome de Lemierre es una patología poco frecuente, potencialmente mortal, que se produce por la trombosis venosa que envuelve la vena yugular interna posterior a la infección de vías respiratorias superiores por microorganismos anaerobios gram negativos. La inflamación producida puede provocar émbolos sépticos en otros órganos, como pulmones, tejidos blandos, bazo, hígado y cerebro. Esta condición fue llamada previamente “la enfermedad olvidada” debido a su rareza y a la poca familiaridad de los médicos con la misma. En este artículo se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina de 18 años, sana, en quien posterior a un cuadro agudo de faringoamigdalitis se documenta bacteremia por Fusobacterium nucleatum asociado a trombosis de la vena yugular izquierda y múltiples embolismos sépticos pulmonares.
Analysis of maximum joint moment during infant lifting-up motion
Authors: Kim Ji-Won , Eom Gwang-Moon , Kwon Yu-Ri 
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND: Infant care activities can induce musculoskeletal disease. However, little is known about the biomechanical joint load during lifting-up of an infant. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate normalized maximum moment during lifting-up of infant dummies weighing 4.6 kg, 7.6 kg, and 9.8 kg. METHODS: Six healthy young subjects participated in our study. All subjects performed lifting-up activities of dummies to shoulder height with their feet apart and natural postures in their comfortable speed. Three-dimensional reflective marker trajectories and ground reaction forces were used as input to calculate joint moments using a full body musculoskeletal model. Joint moments were normalized by each subject’s body mass. Friedman’s test was performed to compare mean differences of normalized joint moments for lifting up three dummy weights. RESULTS: Lumbar joint had the greatest normalized joint moment. Lumbar and hip extension moments were significantly increased with dummy weight (P< 0.05). In contrast, knee extension and ankle plantarflexion moment were not significantly affected by dummy weight (P> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the lumbar joint plays the most important role in infant lifting-up motion and that the load of lumbar and hip joint should be reduced when lifting a heavier infant. These results could contribute to the development of an effective lifting strategy and an assisting device for lifting an infant.

Published: February 2022

Diacerein is a new generation of symptomatic slow-acting agent for the treatment of osteoarthritis, when taken orally, it exhibits moderate anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, slows down the decay of cartilage tissue and relieves pain and swelling, but its physicochemical properties it is practically insoluble in water, due to which only 35‒56% the drug reaches systemic circulation. Therefore, the search for approaches to increase the dissolution rate of a practically insoluble API using the formulation, type of excipients, degree of solubility and kinetics of the substance release from hard gelatin capsules should provide guaranteed drug efficacy.
The aim of the work is to develop the composition of the drug in the form of hard gelatin capsules based on diacerein, to experimentally study the solubility of diacerein, and to evaluate the composition by studying the kinetics of dissolution of the drug.
Determination of the pH-dependent solubility of diacerein was carried out in the conditions: the volume of the dissolution medium is 250 ml; dissolution temperature 37.0 ± 0.5 ºС. The highest recommended single dose of 50 mg was investigated. The development of the composition of the drug Diacerein, capsules, 50 mg was carried out with the use of various types of excipients and their modifications to achieve the proper technological properties in terms of fluidity (flowability) and a short disintegration time of the capsules for the release of the active substance. Comparative studies of the kinetics of dissolution were carried out by the in vitro method, the test «Dissolution» was studied a «Paddle apparatus» with a rotation speed of 75 rpm, a dissolution medium with a pH value of 1.2, 4.5 and 6.8, in a volume of 900 ml at a temperature of 37 ± 0.5 ºС. The reference drug was used «Artrodarin®», capsules of 50 mg, manufactured by TRB PHARMA S. A.,vArgentina.
It was found that diacerein is practically insoluble in a buffer solution with a pH of 1.2, has a relatively low solubility in a buffer solution with a pH of 4.5, while the solubility of diacerein increases with an increase in the pH of the medium to 6.8. The optimal composition of capsules with diacerein using the wet granulation technology has been developed. The obtained data for bulk density and Carr&apos;s index indicate satisfactory flowability of the encapsulating mass. Comparative studies of the dissolution kinetics of the investigational medicinal product and the original drug «Artrodarin®», capsules of 50 mg were carried out. According to the calculations, all the obtained values of the similarity factor are in the range from 50 to 100 and indicate the similarity in buffer media with pH 1.2, 4.5 and 6.8. The developed composition of the preparation is equivalent in dissolution kinetics to the original medicine.
Timing pulsars: An exercise in statistical analysis and the scientific process
Authors: Walkup John , White Joseph , Key Roger 
Published: February 2022

A lab activity for teaching students the fundamentals of statistical analysis by timing pulsar periods is described. The electromagnetic pulses of pulsars have been mapped to sound and uploaded on social media channels, allowing students to “listen” to the beat of the pulsar. Because these beats are extraordinarily precise, they can serve as cyclic events of known time duration. The three-step process described in this article first requires that students select a timing method of low random error found by comparing standard deviations between two suggested methods. In the second step, students reduce systematic error by calibrating their optimal method using a pulsar of known time duration. Finally, students time an unknown pulsar (the mystery pulsar) using the optimal method chosen in Step 1 and calibrating out the bias found in Step 2. By expressing their results in terms of confidence intervals, they use a professional pulsar database to identify the mystery pulsar. Because students are not informed of the identity of the pulsar until after they turn in their lab reports, they are compelled to perform the measurements as carefully and objectively as possible. This activity provides a perfect vehicle for astronomy labs at the beginning of a semester — including online instruction — because it requires no prior instruction in astronomy and no equipment other than the stopwatch on a cell phone and internet connection. Furthermore, this activity offers an introduction to pulsars and such physics topics as magnetism and the conservation of angular momentum.

Experimental and Simulative Investigations on a Water Immersion Cooling System for Cylindrical Battery Cells

Published: February 2022

High charge/discharge rates and high energy density require a greater cooling power and a more compact structure for battery thermal management systems. The Immersion cooling (direct liquid cooling) system reduces the thermal resistance between the cooling medium and the battery and greatly enhances the cooling effect of the system. However, the high viscosity and low specific heat capacity of dielectric fluid limit the cooling effect of immersion cooling. This study presents an immersion cooling system that uses water as the cooling medium. In this system, a special seal structure was designed to prevent contact between water and the battery’s electrodes. The cooling effect of the system on the battery pack was numerically studied. Even if the battery pack is discharged at 3 C rate, a small water flow rate (200 ml/min) can ensure that the maximum temperature of the battery pack falls below 50°C. However, a good cooling capacity will increase the temperature difference of the battery pack. The temperature difference of the battery pack is difficult to reduce to 5°C until the water flow rate exceeds 1,000 ml/min. Adding a buffer structure at the inlet/outlet can be reduced the negative effects of the turbulent flow and then improve the temperature uniformity of the battery pack. These findings provide a better understanding of the influencing factors of the water immersion cooling system and can help to design a better immersion cooling system.
