Published: March 2022

Background: β-thalassemia is an autosomal recessive condition that causes a reduction in the production of haemoglobin. Despite their short lifespans, thalassemia patients must rely on routine blood transfusions throughout their lives. They suffer from a variety of health issues, the majority of which are caused by iron overload complications. It places a significant financial and psychological strain on both patients and their caregivers, and their perceived knowledge of the disease play a significant role in controlling and enhancing their health-related quality of life. Objective: To determine if caregivers of transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients are aware of thalassemia and how to manage it. Methods: The study examined the caregivers of 105 North Indian thalassemia patients who got blood transfusions on a regular basis in hospitals in Patiala, Punjab, and Chandigarh. With prior informed consent, caregivers were interviewed to evaluate their knowledge of thalassemia and its management with their socio-demographic characteristics. The knowledge of each caregiver was rated using a scoring system and was correlated to the caregiver's SES and education. The data was analysed using the SPSS version 20. Results: The majority of caregivers had sufficient knowledge about thalassemia and their comorbidities, premarital screening, treatment modalities, iron overload, and chelation therapy.

Authors: Timbadiya PV , SGhate Aarti 
Published: March 2022

A location-based evaluation of the effect of discretisation on extreme rainfall estimates has been reported in the present study using the hourly rainfall records. This analysis aims to develop a correction model to find rainfall correction factor (RCF) for the metro city, Jaipur in the state of Rajasthan, India. Further, the study addressed the effect of clock hour correction factor (CHCF) on extreme rainfall recorded in the discrete-time interval and compared with the corresponding value suggested by IS 5542-2003. The CHCF was computed using annual maxima series (AMS), and peak-over-threshold (POT) approaches in deriving the rainfall values. The hourly rainfall measurement used to evaluate the differences in extremes evaluated using sliding window (SW) aggregation and fixed window (FW) observation for 24-hour maximum rainfall depth. The extreme value analysis was performed, and the model was checked for its reliability. The peak rainfall depth-duration-frequency curve was plotted for observed 24-hr and 1-hr duration peak rainfall depth. The 1-hour duration peak rainfall was computed for 25-, 50- and 100-year return period using the conversion factor given in Flood estimation report (sub-zone 1b) and compared with the present study results. The peak rainfall for the different return periods for 1-hour and 24-hour duration was worked out which will be useful to the design engineer as per the recent guidelines of the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO, 2019).

Ammattikorkeakouluopintojen opinnäytetöiden aiempi tutkimus on kohdistunut opiskelijan ammatilliseen kasvuun, opinnäytetyön ohjaukseen, arviointiin ja valmistumiseen. Artikkelin uusi näkökulma on opinnäytetyön koetussa hyödyssä ammattikorkeakoulusta valmistuneiden alumnien arvioimana.
Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin alumnikyselyssä, joka tutkittavassa ammattikorkeakoulussa toteutettiin keväällä 2020. Kysely kohdistettiin alumneille, joiden tutkinnon suorittamisesta oli kaksi vuotta. Artikkeli perustuu 644 alumnin vastauksiin ja osa-aineistona kyseisen ammattikorkeakoulun kolmessa suurimmassa koulutusohjelmassa tutkintonsa suorittaneiden alumnien vastauksiin (n=296), koska niiden vastaajamäärät mahdollistivat tilastollisen vertailun. Aineisto analysoitiin kuvailevilla tilastollisilla menetelmillä. Lisäksi testattiin muuttujien välisiä yhteyksiä. Avoimien kysymysten vastaukset analysoitiin temaattisella sisällön analyysilla.
Tutkimuksen tulosten mukaan alumnin tekemän opinnäytetyön muodolla (tutkimuksellinen, toiminnallinen tai päiväkirjamuotoinen) oli yhteyttä hänen kokemaansa hyötyyn opinnäytetyön tekemisestä. Opinnäytetyön tärkein koettu hyöty oli asiantuntijuuden kehittymiselle, vähiten opinnäytetyöstä oli hyötyä työmarkkina-asemalle. Eri koulutusohjelmista valmistuneet alumnit kokivat opinnäytetyön hyödyn samansuuntaisesti. Koulutusohjelmien välillä ei ollut tilastollisesti merkitseviä eroja. Opinnäytetyössä harjaannuttiin tieteellisessä kirjoittamisessa, systemaattisessa tiedon prosessoinnissa, informaation hakemisessa ja toiminnan perustelemisessa.
Ammattikorkeakoulujen opinnäytetöiltä odotetaan työelämän kannalta merkittäviä tuloksia. Jatkossa tulisi pohtia, miten korkeakoulun, työelämän ja opiskelijan intressit saadaan kohtaamaan siten, että opiskelijat voivat kokea opinnäytetyön hyödylliseksi työn ja oppimisen integroinnissa.

IMPROVING THE QUALITY AND REDUCING THE ENERGY INTENSITY OF SHARPENING FLAT WOOD-CUTTING KNIVES
Authors: Ganapolsky S. G. , Kochevar M. N. 
Published: March 2022

The quality of sharpening of flat wood-cutting knives in a certain way affects the quality of the parts obtained. The sharpening process is carried out by a grinding carriage performing a rectilinear reciprocating motion relative to a fixed knife. When the massive carriage is reversed, free oscillations (transients) occur, whichleads to a violation of the straightness of the cutting edge of the knife, limited by the requirements of GOST. Reducing the vibration activity of the process and achieving the required quality of knife sharpening provides a constructive solution for reversing the movement, in which the reverse is performed by a lightweight node-a base table with a knife fixed to it, and a massive sharpening carriage is stationary.

Ruled by Fear or Safety-Related Empowerment
This study uses a novel approach to understand the experience and meaning of unsafety and the contribution of penal protection orders to victim empowerment in cases of intimate partner violence (IPV). In ten in-depth interviews, IPV survivors reflect on their relationship with their ex-partner and the previous years in which the order against their ex-partner was issued, including its role within the wider process of coming to terms with IPV victimisation and moving on. Depending on expectations of protection orders (POs) enforcement and deterrence, POs enhance one’s safety-related self-efficacy and result in a sense of empowerment. Its meaning can be understood in terms of one’s power from the ex-partner, power to act, status vis-à-vis the offender and the wider community, care/help of the CJS, and unity/togetherness with the wider community. Several implications for theoretical and empirical research and practice are discussed.

Victims’ Fundamental Need for Safety and Privacy and the Role of Legislation and Empirical Evidence
Various laws, guidelines and other types of regulation have been created that introduced new rights worldwide for victims of crime. Many of these rights focus on active victims who wish to step into the open and to orally express their views and experiences in court. Rights and wishes to remain in the background and to preserve one’s privacy received less attention. This article focuses primarily on the wishes of victims that reveal their intention to not play an active role in the criminal process, and on victims who fear an invasion of their safety and privacy. According to the literature, such wishes and needs can be considered to be fundamental. The article questions the empirical basis for the present victim legislation: are the new laws that have been created over the decades founded on empirically established victim needs, or on presumed victim needs? The article concludes with a plea for a more extensive use of empirical findings that shed light on victim wishes in the legislation and the criminal process.

This study aims to determine the effective shaft diameter in the design analysis of polishing machines in the manufacture of camshaft, determine the suitability of the V-belt, determine the service life of the bearing, determine the ability to accept seat loads. The method used in this research is the literature review method, namely by analyzing the primary data of the components of the tool to get the values that occur in the tool. The results of the calculation of the shaft suitability analysis obtained a suitable shaft with a diameter of 13 mm which has a rotational deflection smaller than the deflection limit of 0.061o < 0.3o. Based on the calculation of the V belt, size of the V belt selected is on the market, namely the V belt type A No. 37 with a length of L = 940 mm. From the calculation results, bearing is having a lifespan of 2603.838 hours. The strength analysis of the camshaft holder using the DS Abaqus software was found not to exceed the allowable deflection limit, namely: 2.736e-09 mm <0.417mm considered safe to be used. Meanwhile the analysis of the sandpaper seat is still lower than the limit’s value or 1.786e-09 mm < 0.694mm. Thus, the sandpaper holder is said to be safe in resisting the working forces.Kata kunci: camshaft, modification, shaft, v belt.

The machining process is a manufacturing process where the main process is to release or remove some of the material from a basic material which can be in the form of a shaft so that it meets the desired shape and quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of Unit Herse Power on the Depth of Cut turning process on medium carbon steel material. The study used medium carbon steel material in the form of a cylinder with an initial diameter of 40 mm and a length of 150 mm. The cylindrical workpiece is turned at a speed of 185 rpm and the depth of cut is varied by 1 mm, 1.5 mm and 2 mm. The results showed that the depth of pressing of the lathe has an effect on the greater the depth of feeding in the turning process, the smaller the UHP value produced. Where the Horse Power Unit for the highest feed depth is at 1 mm with a UHP value of 1.371091 and into the lowest feed there is a 2 mm feed with a UHP value of 0.685546, and through a lathe rotation of 185 rpm which is given to the workpiece very affect the magnitude of the resulting UHP value where the UHP value is the result of feeding a chisel that is installed or used on a lathe. Keywords: Lathe process, medium carbon steel, feed depth.
The significance of cultural aspects in Latin America’s media image: the representation of the continent in the German press
Authors: Cazzamatta Regina 
Published: March 2022

This paper focuses on Latin America’s cultural coverage produced by the German press – Süddeutsche Zeitung, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Der Spiegel and tageszeitung – from January 2000 to December 2014. At first, one analysed the main subjects areas of coverage amidst 3.831 articles and identified a surprisingly 17% amount of cultural reports (662 news items). While empirical results on foreign reports worldwide point to a weak representation of cultural themes and an intense concentration on politics, this does not apply fully in the case of Latin America. Brazil, Argentina, Mexico (with an intense power status and economic proximity) and Cuba (still a myth in the German perception) show a high amount of cultural coverage with a broader spectrum of themes, from music and literature to art, architecture and exhibitions. On the contrary, the cultural coverage of small Central American nations concentrates on travel & tourism, an indicator of exoticism. South American states also have a good share of cultural reporting due to the presence of German cultural organisations such as the Goethe Institute. Eight qualitative interviews with German correspondents provide a more profound interpretation and contextualisation of these findings. Keywords: Latin America’s foreign reporting, cultural coverage, international communication, Latin American image, news factors.
