Effect of Time History on Long-Term Deformation of Gypseous Soils
Authors: Fattah Mohammed Y. , Al-Shakarchi Yousif J. , Al-Numani Huda N. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The time-dependent behavior of three gypseous soils was investigated. The soils had gypsum content of 66%, 44%, and 14.8%. The mineralogical and chemical properties of the soils were determined. Two series of tests were performed. In the first, collapsibility characteristics were investigated for a long period (60 days) by conducting single and double oedometer tests. In the second series, the effect of relative density on collapse with time was investigated. The samples were compacted to 40%, 50%, and 60% relative density and then tested. The results of collapse tests showed that the relationship between the strain and logarithm of effective stress has two vertical lines. The first one represents the collapse settlement taking place within 24 h, while the second one represents the long-term collapse. The collapse potential (CP) in both single and double oedometer tests increases when the gypsum content increases from 14.8% to 66% and when the initial void ratio increases.
The CP–logarithm of time relationship for soaked samples prepared at different relative densities under 800 kPa indicated that the CP increased with time for the soil sample compacted at 60% relative density and the increase was higher than those compacted at 40% and 50% relative density. The curves started with a straight line and then a concave downward curve was observed with a high strain. For samples compacted at 40% and 50% relative densities, the curves were interrupted by little soil collapses, while the third curve exhibited smooth relation following the collapse.
Models for Estimation of Lift and Drag Coefficients for Low-Reynolds-Number Cambered Plates
Authors: Balla Esztella , Vad János 
Published: September 2022

Empirical models capable of predicting the lift and drag coefficients of circular-arc cambered plate blades are presented, together with the detailed documentation of the related wind-tunnel technique and data evaluation. The blade profiles are equipped with rounded leading and trailing edges. The empirical models offer an easy-to-use tool for preliminary design of low-solidity low-speed blade cascades. By means of the models, the lift-coefficient range of 0–1.3 is covered, associated with the drag coefficient varying between 0.02 and 0.14. The validity ranges of the empirical models are as follows: Reynolds-number between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], relative camber ranging from 0 to 8%, and angle of attack between 0 and 8 deg. The force coefficients are expressed as a function of relative camber, angle of attack, and Reynolds-number. The models assume linear relationships between the Reynolds-number and the force coefficients, as inspired by the literature and justified by statistical means. The dependence of the force coefficients on the angle of attack and the relative camber is expressed by incorporating second-order polynomials. The trends of force changes with Reynolds-number are analyzed. The cases of apparently extraordinary trends in the Reynolds-number dependence (i.e., increasing drag and decreasing lift with increasing Reynolds-number) are discussed in detail. A method for the determination of the confidence intervals related to the models is presented, and a detailed uncertainty analysis is provided. On this basis, the relative errors of the force coefficients can be quantified in a case-specific, empirical manner.

Published: September 2022

Background:
T1-T2 intervertebral disc prolapse (IVDP) is a rare clinical condition. Horner’s syndrome is an extremely rare clinical finding in these patients.

Case Description:
A 56-year-old man presented with the left C8 T1 radiculopathy, left hand grip weakness, and ipsilateral Horner’s syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine showed a contrast-enhancing lesion in the left T1 foramen compressing the left T1 nerve root. He underwent left T1 hemilaminectomy, upper half of left T2 hemilaminectomy and removal of the left foraminal lesion. A biopsy of the lesion was sent for histopathological diagnosis which revealed tissue consistent with disc material. Postoperatively, he had near-complete recovery with residual minimal Horner’s syndrome.

Conclusion:
T1-T2 IVDP should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a patient presents with C8 T1 radiculopathy and Horner’s syndrome.
Karola Bloch in East Germany (GDR, 1950-55). Standardisation of Childcare Facilities as a Women’s Emancipatory Tool
Authors: Siegele Bettina 
Published: September 2022

The architect Karola Bloch, who was working for the Deutsche Bauakademie in the GDR after World War II, aimed to meet the goal of gender equality according to socialist principles by realising numerous crèches and kindergartens through the development of schematic plans and guidelines for building construction. For the newly founded socialist state of the GDR, this was a way to free women from domestic unpaid care work in order to integrate them into wage-earning labour, which was considered crucial for women to become equal members of society. The implementation of a nationwide network of childcare centres via typification and standardisation promised to realise these ambitious goals quickly and cost-effectively.

Published: September 2022

El presente trabajo responde al objetivo de analizar como los Derechos humanos y laborales establecen la libertad de los individuos de circular libremente y elegir su residencia, así como de gozar de los derechos establecidos por el estado mexicano, así mismo, no hay derechos sin respeto. Hablar de derechos humanos responde a todos los derechos que tenemos como personas sin diferencias de ningún tipo; este tema trata de analizar cómo los migrantes en tránsito por el territorio mexicano viven la necesidad de conseguir un empleo que le dé garantías formales y en el que se respeten sus derechos humanos sin importar su condición migratoria. Entonces ¿Qué derechos mínimos se deben tener para vivir vidas dignas en otro país?; ¿Por qué se necesitan?; ¿Qué se debe o puede hacer con ellos?; ¿Los derechos humanos y la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, La Ley del Trabajo y lo dispuesto por el Instituto Nacional de Migración garantizan una mejor calidad de vida a los migrantes en México?,¿Cómo hacer cultura para un mejor convivir?, ¿Cómo sensibilizar para hacer cultura? Éstas son algunas de las preguntas que se responden en el presente trabajo, debido a que la situación laboral de los migrantes no se manifiesta desde un aspecto formal y a todas las condiciones laborales que se desprenden de la Ley federal del Trabajo en México son complejas y escasas empresas están dispuestas a tramitar, lo que provoca que la informalidad sea la característica principal de la condición laboral de los migrantes de México.

Bent out of Shape: The Projection of Male Anxiety onto Busks and Stays in Early Modern Europe
Authors: Miller Julia-Rose 
Published: September 2022

An interesting pattern emerges in the Early Modern Era of women taking control of their lives and bodies through the use of material culture, and men being terrified of this fact. Women often lacked agency in a world with ever-changing perceptions of not only femininity, but also of the female form. Clothing was then one of the few ways that these women who lacked power could control their body and their spheres. To those living in the Early Modern Era, clothing held far more meaning than it does in the modern day. The exchange of clothing among women was founded on and fundamental to the connections between them. It was transferred from “masters and mistresses to servants, from aunts to nieces, from sisters and brothers to younger siblings” in a “routine rotation” that was the life of a garment. Men and women alike understood the innate power of clothing in the Early Modern period and its ability to “transnature” the body it was on. Clothing had the power to “mold and shape” women into anything. Because of its transformative nature, for many women clothing was one of the few places where they could exert their control: through purchasing power, shaping their public presentation and—for lower class women—even manufacturing or selling. Busks and stays are one item which was targeted by masculinity in the early modern period because of their connection to both women and sexuality more specifically.

Published: September 2022

Taman Baru Village, Sekotong, West Lombok Regency is one of the areas under a hill valley and surrounded by hills with a height of about 0-1000 meters above sea level. The average level of rainfall in this area is 1381 mm with an average number of rainy days of 120 days so that this area is often affected by disasters, such as floods and landslides. Therefore, the Taman Baru Village needs to be wary of, considering that disasters can happen at any time. Thus, it is necessary to have disaster mitigation, namely the mapping of evacuation routes and gathering points and their visualization. These goals of this program are the existence of evacuation routes and gathering points, which are devoted to tidal floods, earthquakes and landslides. The results of this work program are also expected to be the best means that can facilitate the community in evacuating themselves when a disaster occurs. These output of this activity were a disaster mitigation leaflet in Taman Baru Village, a map of evacuation routes and gathering points in Taman Baru Village and their visualization (installation of evacuation route signs and gathering points that can provide instructions for people who want to evacuate themselves in the event of a disaster). The outcome of this activity is the increased awareness and understanding of the people of Taman Baru Village on disaster mitigation, especially earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and floods

Background and Purpose: The aim is to determine the effect of the communication skills training (CST) using interactive synchronous and asynchronous methods, which was applied for the first time on medical students’ empathy levels.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional-analytical, self-controlled intervention.
The distance CST program was applied to first-year medical students. The change in students’ empathy levels was measured with the student version of the Jefferson Empathy Scale.
Results: 241 students’ forms were included. Empathy mean score increased significantly, this increase was higher in women.
Conclusion: The distance CST produced a positive effect on empathy levels. While interactive
PowerPoint® presentations, videos, movie clips, cartoons, real-life examples, written/audio question-
answer activities, surveys, feedback and, small group work were used in live lessons; in the
asynchronous process, student-based techniques (self-assessment, homework, WhatsApp® sharing)
were used to support the online learning climate. We believe that all of them support the cognitive and
social existence of students throughout the training. We propose our program as a model that can be
used during situations where face-to-face education is not possible and to support face-to-face
education in medical education.

Authors: GUN Cem , ALDİNC Hasan , ORHAN Orhan , YAYLACİ Serpil , YILMAZ Gürdal , TÜRKMEN Süha 
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Advancements in air travel enabled an increase in traveling to malaria-endemic countries such as those in sub-Saharan Africa. An increase in the incidence of imported malaria accompanied these advancements. This study aims to summarize how malaria patients who have imported the disease into non-endemic countries present to the emergency departments and to enlighten physicians in emergency departments by providing suggestions for practical approaches to handling such situations.
Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively in a university hospital, from January 1, 2014 to March 1, 2022. Seven years of emergency department records of patients who were examined in the emergency department with a suspected, or definitive diagnosis of malaria were included in the study. Epidemiological and clinical characteristics were evaluated.
Results: 892 patients were admitted to the emergency department with suspicion of malaria. Thirty of these patients were diagnosed with malaria, and 846 of the 892 patients were members of airline cabin crews. 94.3% (n=798) of the cabin crew did not use prophylactic medication for malaria. The mean age of the patients was 33.2±8.5. Twenty-five patients were diagnosed via peripheral blood smears, and the remaining three patients were diagnosed with PCR. Rapid diagnostic tests were positive in 26 out of 28 patients.
Conclusion: The risk of acquiring malaria is still high despite short-term visits and airport-limited stays. Travel history should be routinely asked of patients by emergency physicians. Education of people traveling to malaria-endemic countries, including cabin crew, regarding malaria prophylaxis and protective measures to prevent mosquito bites plays a crucial role in preventing malaria.

Published: September 2022

Marine culture in the North Semarang area is still not optimally utilized by the surrounding community. The selection of the location of aquaculture activities is needed to determine the feasibility of suitable land for aquaculture in the sea. However, due to the large number of fishing activities, ports, and dense settlements have an impact on water quality which affects marine aquaculture activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the condition of the waters, determine the level of land suitability using GIS, and the area of ​​land that can be used as a location for marine culture in the waters of North Semarang. The method used is by scoring and GIS. Parameters observed included protection, brightness, temperature, depth, current velocity, substrate, wave height, salinity, DO, BOD, COD, and pH. Furthermore, a scoring calculation is carried out to determine the suitability value which is then processed using GIS to produce a suitability map. The results showed that North Semarang waters were classified as S2 class (quite suitable) for marine aquaculture activities and with an area of ​​250,000 ha

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Mucormycosis is an invasive disease associated with high mortality ranging from 25-62%. There is an increase in the incidence of mucormycosis in post COVID-19 infection patients.
Case presentation: A 55 year old male presented to the emergency department with complain of pain abdomen and with a past medical history of renal transplantation and recent COVID-19 infection. On CT abdomen evaluation he was found to have hypodense spleen suggestive of splenic abscess. Investigations and Treatment: Splenectomy was done, which on microbiological examination revealed mucormycosis. The patient was treated with amphotericin B for 3 weeks followed by posaconazole for another 2 weeks.
Discussion: Mucormycosis, although a rare infection, has been classically linked to organ transplantation which can also be considered as a possible reason for immunosuppression in this case. Transplant physicians must be aware that patients with COVID-19 are at risk of developing unusual opportunistic infections.

Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE
Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is an effective treatment for vestibular schwannomas (VSs) and has been used in > 100,000 cases worldwide. In the present study the authors sought to define the serial volumetric tumor response of Koos grade I–IV VS after radiosurgery.

METHODS
A total of 201 consecutive VS patients underwent GKRS at a single institution between 2015 and 2019. All patients had a minimum follow-up of 18 months and at least 2 interval postprocedure MRI scans. The contrast-enhanced tumor volumes were contoured manually and compared between pre- and post-GKRS imaging. The percentages of tumor volume change at 18 months (short-term follow-up) and up to 5 years after GKRS (long-term follow-up) were compared with the baseline tumor volume. An increase of 20% was considered a significant increase of tumor volume. Trends of tumor volume over time were assessed with linear models using time as a continuous variable. A test for linear trend was evaluated according to the initial Koos tumor classification.

RESULTS
Koos grade II VS was the most frequently occurring tumor (n = 74, 36.8%), followed by grade III (n = 57, 28.4%), grade I (n = 41, 20.4%), and grade IV (n = 29, 14.4%). The mean tumor volume at the time of GKRS was 2.12 ± 2.82 cm3 (range 0.12–18.77 cm3) and the median margin dose was 12 Gy. Short-term follow-up revealed that tumor volumes transiently increased in 34.2% and 28.4% of patients at 6 and 18 months, respectively, regardless of Koos grade. Linear regression analysis of Koos grade II, III, and IV tumors showed a significant longitudinal volume decrease on long-term follow-up. At last follow-up (median 30 months, range 18–54 months), 19 patients (9.4%) showed a persistent increase of tumor volume. Five patients received additional management after GKRS.

CONCLUSIONS
Although selected VS patients demonstrate an early and measurable transient volumetric increase after GKRS, > 90% have stable or reduced tumor volumes over an observed period of up to 5 years. Volumetric regression is most pronounced in Koos grade II, III, and IV tumors and may not be fully detectable until 3 years after GKRS.
Experiences od open and closed list local taxes in Hungary with special regard to the effects of the COVID19 pandemic
Authors: Bordás Péter 
Published: September 2022

Local taxes account for a significant share of the revenue of Hungarian local governments. In the system developed after the transition to democracy in 1990, local governments were granted the right to set a tax on a closed list, which was supplemented in 2015 by a right to set a tax on an open list. In the case of traditional local taxes, the tax capacity of local government differs greatly, that generates a significant issue in the self-government system. In addition, we can see differences within local taxes, as the role of the business tax is much stronger than other taxes. Dealing with the different resource-generating capabilities that are essential to provide public tasks of the same quality is a systemic regulatory problem. With the introduction of the settlement tax in 2015, Hungarian self-government expected to be able to increase their own revenues and thus their financial independence. But it soon became apparent that in practice there were several regulatory obstacles to achieving this, so the hopes diminished. By now, it has also become clear that the settlement tax did not introduce a significant change in this area, even more, it has damaged the previous revenue structure. The measures adopted during the pandemic in the past year and a half required new regulatory solutions, that also affected the system of local taxes.
