Abstract:
This study draws attention to difficulties in the diagnosis and the understanding of the mechanism of action of mushroom compost worker's lung. Descriptions are given of 4 workers in one factory who developed acute respiratory failure within a 6-month period; 13 others who were unaffected were also studied. Serological investigation appears to be largely unhelpful, and the evidence against the condition being included amongst the extrinsic allergic alveolitides is discussed. A detailed clinical and occupational history is essential for diagnosis.

Abstract:
Introduction: Compost house is one of the government's efforts to overcome the adverse effects of increasing the volume of waste; one of the large compost houses is the Bratang Compost House. One of the health risks faced by workers is irritant contact dermatitis. The purpose of this study was to individual characteristics and use of PPE with the incidence of irritant contact dermatitis in workers at the Bratang Compost House. Methods: The study was descriptive observational with a cross-sectional model. Calculation of RR values was used to see the characteristics of the relationship between the use of PPE and the incidence of irritant contact dermatitis in workers at the Bratang Compost House. Result: The results showed that there were 9 workers affected by irritant contact dermatitis and 6 workers who were not affected by irritant contact dermatitis. Most workers affected by irritant contact dermatitis were dominated by workers age less than 30 years old and have a service life of more than 5 years. The results of the calculation of RR values indicated that poor usage of PPE can increase the risk of developing irritant contact dermatitis. Conclusion: What needs to be done by workers is to increase awareness of the importance of occupational health and safety especially the usage of PPE. The thing that needs to be done by the manager of the compost house is to fix the physical environmental factors, conduct socialization of health risks in the workplace and provide PPE to improve the safety of workers.

Abstract:
Contact dermatitis is an inflammation of skin which is caused by a substance that sticks to somebody’s skin. The cause of contact dermatitis is physical factor, a substance of plants, and other chemicals. One of prevention contact dermatitis because of working is the usage of personal protection equipments like mask, gloves, goggles, shoes, and body protection. The objectives of this research was to analyze the relation between the characteristics of worker, the completeness and the hygiene of personal protection equipments with the contact dermatitis occurrence in the house of compost Jambangan Surabaya. The methodology of this research was observational using cross sectional approach. The target of this research was all workers who have worked in the house of compost Jambangan Surabaya as 21 people were taken by total sampling technique. The variable that was observed included contact dermatitis occurrence, gender, the history of skin allergy, age, knowledge, attitude, action, and the completeness of using personal protection equipments. The primer data was taken by interview with questionnaire paper and observation. The secondary data was taken from the house of compost Jambangan Surabaya. Then, data that was taken from questionnaire was analyzed by descriptive as the narration form. The result of this research explained that the completeness of using personal protection equipments by the worker have not completed yet and for the main characteristics of the worker was their knowledge. The conclusion was using complete personal protection equipments could prevent contact dermatitis of the worker in the house of compost Jambangan Surabaya.

Abstract:
Sur la plateforme de compostage de l’ONG ENPRO, pour chaque tas de compost, cinq retournements sont nécessaires en vue d’apporter de l’air pour une bonne décomposition aérobie. Le retournement d’un seul tas de compost nécessite trois ouvriers pour une durée de trois heures. Donc, pour chaque fréquence de retournement, il faut mobiliser dix-sept ouvriers en une journée. Leur prise en charge pour les cinq retournements s’élève à 595000 FCFA. Face à ce coût élevé, la recherche d’alternatives de réduction du nombre d’ouvriers et du temps s’impose. La ventilation naturelle qui consiste à renouveler de l’air par des forces naturelles à travers des ouvertures, se présente comme la technique la plus optimiste. Ainsi, l’objectif de ce travail est d’optimiser la main d’œuvre et le temps accordé aux retournements. Cinq andains sont élaborés dont un standard et les quatre autres à ventilation naturelle. L’étude comparative des critères de maturité et de stabilité a montré des valeurs similaires pour les deux types de compost. Aussi, la ventilation naturelle a permis de réduire le nombre de retournements à deux et le nombre d’ouvriers à dix contre cinq et dix-sept pour le compostage standard puis le coût de prise en charge des ouvriers d’environ 25%.Mots clés : Compostage, retournement des andains, optimisation du temps, ventilation naturelle. English title: Comparative study of natural and automatic ventilation using perforated pipes and the classic method of turning windrows in compostingOn the composting platform of the NGO ENPRO, for each pile of compost, five turns are necessary in order to provide air for good aerobic decomposition. Turning a single compost heap requires three workers for three hours. So, for each turnaround frequency, seventeen workers must be mobilized in one day. Their cost for the five turnarounds amounts to FCFA 595,000. Faced with this high cost, the search for alternatives to reduce the number of workers and time is essential. Natural ventilation, which consists of renewing air by natural forces through openings, is presented as the most optimistic technique. Thus, the objective of this work is to optimize the manpower and the time allocated to turnarounds. Five windrows are produced, one of which is standard and the other four have natural ventilation. The comparative study of the maturity and stability criteria showed similar values for the two types of compost. Also, natural ventilation has reduced the number of turnovers to two and the number of workers to ten against five and seventeen for standard composting and the cost of supporting workers by around 25%.

Abstract:
AbstractThe intent of this study was to determine if composting is an effective means of managing water hyacinth while producing a quality horticultural compost product. Preliminary tests for the study included germination and seed mortality tests. Germination tests found that water hyacinth seeds germinated on filter paper media soaked in distilled water while placed in petri dishes held at a constant temperature of 27 C for 14 d. Seed mortality test results found that seeds of water hyacinth were rendered inviable at temperatures equal to or above 57 C. The study successfully developed a large-scale composting system that used water hyacinth as a primary feedstock. Eleven compost piles were derived from 10,000 kg of water hyacinth, 9,000 kg of food waste, 11,300 kg of poultry litter, and 17,200 kg of wood chips. Results indicated that the composting process reached and sustained sufficiently high enough temperatures to inactivate and fully decompose seeds and other propagules of water hyacinth. Therefore, water hyacinth can be composted without the potential danger of it spreading. Compost quality tests found that the compost produced was within acceptable to ideal ranges of accepted industry quality standards, though there was a learning curve by student workers in the preparation of the piles using the large equipment.

Abstract:
The study has been conducted in three parts: I. Collect both temporal and spatial thermal data; 2. Quantify the number of organisms of interest in compost samples; 3. Collect and analyse bioaerosol samples to test the workers’ exposure to organisms of concern. The study obtained more detailed and extensive data of both spatial and temporal temperature distributions in real, operational compost piles than any previous studies. By using data loggers allocated at every part of the pile (approximately surrogate of each 0.5 m3 material) and continuously record temperatures from building the new pile till screening. A series of findings have been achieved from the intensive temperature monitoring, such as how differently material at different positions could behave in terms of temperature; how physical parameters (particle size, porosity etc.) of the material could influence the process and so on. Furthermore, the study also correlated the time-temperature regime with level of pathogen-kill for a full-scale operational composting practice. Total coliforms, Thermo-tolerant coliforms, E. coli and Enterococci were confirmed and quantified. Significant destruction of microbial organisms was observed during composting based on the performance of Enterococci. Some limitations about the test methods have been found. Also, some other factors such as temperature fluctuation, occurrence of re-growth, interference of environmental organisms etc. all made the composting microbiology a complex issue. Besides studying the bacteria in the pile, effort has also been given to investigating exposures of how the airbome bacteria from handling the compost to workers at the site. It has been found that the cab can well protect the workers from being exposed to the bioaerosols; precipitation could significantly reduce the number of airborne bacteria; turning and screening the pile do result in relatively high concentration of bioaerosols while the influence on upwind and downwind area from composting facility is negligible; also the presence of airborne bacteria does show some consistency with the performance of bacteria in the feedstock over time. In addition, moisture content and nutrients (C, N) concentration analysis were determined on the compost samples. The weather conditions had been monitored continuously during the whole process.

Abstract:
Les égoutiers sont exposés à une grande variété de mélanges de produits chimiques beaucoup ce sont des substances génotoxiques ou cancérigènes. Le but de cette étude transversale était d'explorer des biomarqueurs intégrés d’exposition et des effets précoces chez les égoutiers afin de mieux apprécier leur risque cancérogène (article I-protocole). L'article II expose l'étape de validation préalable effectuée sur la lignée cellulaire pour nos objectifs. Avec un recueil en 10 mois et sur une base hebdomadaire, nous avons, a) évalué l'exposition personnelle des égoutiers (n=34) et administratifs (n=30) (groupe témoin) à des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP) et composés organiques volatils (COV) dans l'air des lieux de travail, b) évalué la génotoxicité de leurs extraits organiques urinaire par des tests in vitro : tests des comète et des micronoyaux sur les cellules Hep G2, c) évalué la réponse à un stress oxydatif de l'ADN par la mesure du 8 oxo 2' deoxyguanosine urinaire (8 oxodG) dans les urines de 24h (Article III). Les tests ont montré la présence de plus de génotoxiques dans les urines des égoutiers (P <0,001). La moyenne du 8 oxodG urinaire chez les égoutiers était plus élevée (non significatif, P = 0,28) que les administratifs et ses valeurs moyennes ont été associées (P = 0,04) avec les années de travail dans le système des égouts. Les concentrations des HAP et COV dans l'atmosphère professionnelle des égoutiers étaient élevées par rapport à celles des administratifs (P <0,01) et il a été montré une augmentation de risque du cancer en utilisant les facteurs d'équivalence de toxicité et de risque unitaire de cancer. En conclusion, les biomarqueurs intégrés urinaire d’exposition et non spécifiques montrent que les égoutiers sont professionnellement exposés aux mélanges des substances génotoxiques. Il n’est pas possible de relier nos résultats avec l’accroissement du risque cancérogène chez les égoutiers
Sewage workers are exposed to a wide variety of mixtures of chemicals many were shown to be genotoxicants or carcinogens. The aim of this cross sectional study was to explore integrated biomarkers of exposure and of early effects among sewage workers in order to better assess their carcinogenic risk (Paper I-protocol). Paper II, describes the validation step performed prior to choose the cellular line that meet our objectives. Over 10 months and on weekly basis, we, a) assessed the personal exposure of sewage (n=34) and office (n=30) workers (control group) to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air of workplaces, b) evaluated the genotoxicity of organic urine extracts by in vitro comet and micronucleus assays on Hep G2 cells, c) assessed the DNA oxidative stress by the 24h urinary 8 oxo 2' deoxyguanosine (8 oxodG) (Paper III). The tests showed greater genotoxicity in the urine extracts of sewage workers (P<0.001). The 24hr urinary 8 oxodG mean level in sewage workers was higher (nonsignificant, P=0.28) than office workers and its mean values were associated (P=0.04) with working years in sewage system. Workplace air concentrations of PAHs and VOCs were elevated in sewage compared to office workplaces (P<0.01) and resulted in an increased lifetime cancer risk using toxicity equivalent factors and inhalation unit risk of cancer. In conclusion, the applied integrated and non-specific urinary biomarkers show that sewage workers experience exposure to multiple genotoxicants at the workplace. It is not possible to simply link our results with the increased cancer risk in sewage workers

Abstract:

Joseph Ahrens (1904-97) was a twentieth-century German composer, virtuoso organist, and teacher. He was a professor of church music at the Berlin Academy of Music (Berlin Hochschule für Musik), organist at the Cathedral of St. Hedwig, and choir director and organist at the Salvator Church in Berlin. He contributed to twentieth-century church music, especially of the Roman Catholic Church, and composed many works for organ and various choral forces. His organ pieces comprise chorale-based pieces, free (non-chorale) works, liturgical pieces, and serial compositions. He was strongly influenced by twentieth-century German music trends such as the organ reform movement, neo-baroque style, and, in his late period, serial techniques.

This document examines one freely composed work and two serial compositions by Joseph Ahrens: Canzone in cis (1944), Fantasie und Ricercare (1967), and Trilogia Dodekaphonica (1978). The purpose is to demonstrate that Ahrens's style developed throughout his career, from a post-Wagnerian harmonic language to one that adopted twentieth-century techniques, including serialism, while retaining the use of developed thematic material and a connection to neo-baroque characteristics in terms of forms and textures.

Abstract:
Kent Alan Newbury is an American composer who was born in Chicago in 1925, and currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona. He has composed over 550 works and has had 282 choral works published. His first published piece was Psalm 150 (1955) and his latest publication was Praise the Lord, All Ye People (2013). Thirty-nine of his published choral pieces are still in print. At this time, the unpublished manuscripts include 204 choral pieces, four solo works, four instrumental works for dance, thirty-seven brass or band works, six woodwind pieces, and nineteen string or orchestra works. Newbury's complete catalog is included as Appendix B. During his Initial Period (1955-1965), Newbury had eighteen pieces published. In his Developmental Period (1966-1985), 247 pieces were published. That is an average of twelve pieces published per year. During his Mature Period (1986-present), he has had seventeen pieces published. This is the first published work documenting Newbury's life and music. It is hoped this study will introduce more choral directors to Newbury's music and encourage the performance of his music by more college, church, and school choirs. Analysis of Newbury's published choral works reveals the consistent inclusion of four stylistic traits: syncopation, text painting, parallelism, and textural layering. This study demonstrates how the use of these stylistic traits develops through his compositional career, both in terms of the frequency of usage and the progression of the technique. Syncopation is plentiful throughout Newbury's three periods. Syncopation and rhythmic displacement are found in 37% of published pieces in his Developmental Period and in 100% of published pieces in his Mature Period. The syncopation ranges from simple to complex, and it is sewn into the inner fabric of his compositional style. Text painting is used a great deal in Newbury's Initial Period, but the frequency diminishes in his later periods. Instead, he approaches his composition as he is inspired by the text, and the music reflects the text, in its totality if not in detail. Parallelism is a favored stylistic trait. Newbury composes with parallel fifths and fourths, and parallel chords moving in similar motion (planing) as well as contrary motion (the omnibus progression). Despite his teachers' objections to the use of parallel fifths, this is a consistent element throughout his career. Textural layering is a technique in which notes are added or repeated to call attention to the text or to build harmonic structures. As with text painting, the frequency of usage is most prevalent in his earlier periods.

Abstract For multi-oriented layered composite laminates, ply lay-up (stacking sequence) identification is an essential exercise. Lay-up identification falls under the realm of nonlinear inverse problems. Few attempts in this direction are quoted in literature. Of note are the works of Komsky and co-workers [1], where shear wave transmission signals have been used in conjunction with theoretical models or neural networks.

Abstract:
Abstract Recently, various studies improving business efficiency have been made in industrial fields. The concept of “Virtual Enterprise” is one of them, and it aims to standardize information sharing mechanism among industries, and to establish common information infrastructure for cooperative work among different enterprises when necessary. In cooperative work support systems for virtual enterprise, the mutual connections are usually loosely coupled, and the network systems among each component enterprises are often isolated. We propose a method for producing a specifications document, which parts are individually developed among multiple workers in a distributed system, and the parts of those workers’ responsibility are overlapped. Work results by each worker are considered as replicated data (i.e. replicas) of a distributed database, and the replicas are updated independently. Consequently the consistency among replicas and original database become inconsistent after updating. We assume that recovering the consistency between replicated data corresponds to achieving the adjustment of workers’ results or opinions. The recovery is obtained by using the semantic information, which may be expressed by tree structures. The degree of completeness about specifications is assumed to be measured by “width” and “depth” of tree structures, and the temporal specifications are composed by the tree composition so that the degree of completeness may increase. In order to process by machine, some frameworks describing specifications must be necessary. By describing specifications using LOTOS, some examples explain that the composition can be realized.

In ASME 2015 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2015-52598.

Full text
Abstract:
Many companies are currently researching VaRTM molding method for practical application in the composite material industry, such as in wind-powered power generating equipment, boats and ships, and aircrafts because it can produce moldings with complicated shapes or large sizes, does not require a large amount of business investments, and can make molding cost efficient. However, it is difficult discovering the optimal conditions for molding, as VaRTM molding requires perform manufacturing process which makes the fiber base material fit into a three-dimensional shape by applying pressure and heat. It is said that the accuracy of the preform affects the mechanical properties of the molding product. In recent years, despite continued investigations into the automated manufacturing of preforms, the majority of preforms are still manufactured by the hands of workers, causing the accuracy of the preform to be dependent on the ability of the worker. In this research, we made three subjects with varying number of years’ experience create preforms and produce a VaRTM molding. Conducting an interlaminar shear strength test on the molding products revealed that they had a higher intensity in order of the most years of experience to least. In order to identify the reason why the accuracy in creating a preform is dependent on the ability of the worker, we informed all of the subjects of the work process beforehand, made them use the same tools and fiber base materials, and investigated the differences in manufacturing method and manufacturing techniques caused by the workers’ number of years of experience. Differences were observed in the expert and non-experts from an overall image of the subjects when working, such as how they handled the tools (iron), their posture when layering, how they exerted strength into layering, etc. We also measured the subjects’ eye movements, focusing on where they were looking. Rather than analyzing the amount of time and the movements of their entire bodies in each work process, instead, we focused on the movements of their line of sight when working. Thus, we compared where each of the subjects was watching and the order in which they watched them. Furthermore, as well as the movement of their line of sight, we also focused on how they moved their hands when conducting the work and investigated the coordination of all of the subjects when working. Based on the fact that there were differences in the accuracy of the preforms, it is clear that manufacturing preforms is not a general concept in which the technique is handed down. While optimizing the creation of systems, work instruction manuals and tools which produce exactly the same accuracy, regardless of the worker manufacturing the preform, we will continue to conduct research that leads to the development of automated production technology.

Abstract:
"Introduction. The rapid spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created unprecedent global challenges for health systems. National Healthcare Systems Hospitals adopted protective measures and medical equipment resources, exposing healthcare workers at risk for stress syndromes, subclinical mental health symptoms, and long-term occupational burnout. Health workers have had to deal with the most severe clinical cases in intensive care specialized operative division. Since the first months of the epidemic spread, some studies have established shown that nurses have shown symptoms of severe anxiety associated with peritraumatic dissociative experiences. Most of the studies examined the emotional impact of COVID 19 on health professionals but did not focus on different consider professionals roles and hospital departments workload. Objective. The aim of our study was to analyze the emotional characteristics of health workers during the II wave of coronavirus (November-December 2020), comparing the frontline (COVID 19) and second line (chronic diseases) hospital divisions and analyzing the differences between the health roles. Methods. We conduct a pilot study among health-workers. A sample of 28 healthcare workers (aged 23-62 years) were recruited from frontline and secondline hospital departments (L’Aquila, IT). The administered psychological battery was composed of n. 4 self-reports evaluating emotional variables (depression, anxiety, and stress) (DASS-21), personality traits (BFI-10), burnout risk (MBI), and perceived stress (PSS). Results. The results highlighted significant differences: older health workers were found to be more vulnerable than those who younger health workers; another interesting point was that healthcare workers serving in frontline wards showed symptoms of depersonalization. No significant difference for the type of role held. Conclusions. A prevention program should be activated to preserve frontline and older workers mental health. Earlier support could mitigate the effect of the pandemic experience, reducing the risk for emotional health workers' fragility."

Abstract:
Latin American governments swiftly implemented income assistance programs to sustain families' livelihoods during COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. This paper analyzes the potential coverage and generosity of these measures and assesses the suitability of current safety nets to deal with unexpected negative income shocks in 10 Latin American countries. The expansion of pre-existing programs (most notably conditional cash transfers and non-contributory pensions) during the COVID-19 crisis was generally insufficient to compensate for the inability to work among the poorest segments of the population. When COVID-19 ad hoc programs are analyzed, the coverage and replacement rates of regular labor income among households in the first quintile of the country's labor income distribution increase substantially. Yet, these programs present substantial coverage challenges among families composed of fundamentally informal workers who are non-poor, but are at a high risk of poverty. These results highlight the limitations of the fragmented nature of social protection systems in the region.

Abstract:
The French composer Francis Poulenc had a profound admiration and empathy for the writings of the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. That empathy was rooted in shared aspects of the artistic temperament of the two figures but was also undoubtedly reinforced by Poulenc’s fellow-feeling on a human level. As someone who wrestled with his own homosexuality and who kept his orientation and his relationships apart from his public persona, Poulenc would have felt an instinctive affinity for a figure who endured similar internal conflicts but who, especially in his later life and poetry, was more open about his sexuality. Lorca paid a heavy price for this refusal to dissimulate; his arrest in August 1936 and his assassination the following day, probably by Nationalist militia, was accompanied by taunts from his killers about his sexuality. Everything about the Spanish poet’s life, his artistic affinities, his personal predilections and even the relationship between these and his death made him someone to whom Poulenc would be naturally drawn and whose untimely demise he would feel keenly and might wish to commemorate musically. Starting with the death of both his parents while he was still in his teens, reinforced by the sudden loss in 1930 of an especially close friend, confidante and kindred spirit, and continuing throughout the remainder of his life with the periodic loss of close friends, companions and fellow-artists, Poulenc’s life was marked by a succession of bereavements. Significantly, many of the dedications that head up his compositions are ‘to the memory of’ the individual named. As Poulenc grew older, and the list of those whom he had outlived lengthened inexorably, his natural tendency towards the nostalgic and the elegiac fused with a growing sense of what might be termed a ‘survivor’s anguish’, part of which he sublimated into his musical works. It should therefore come as no surprise that, during the 1940s, and in fulfilment of a desire that he had felt since the poet’s death, he should turn to Lorca for inspiration and, in the process, attempt his own act of homage in two separate works: the Violin Sonata and the ‘Trois Chansons de Federico García Lorca’. This exposition attempts to unfold aspects of the two men’s aesthetic pre-occupations and to show how the parallels uncovered cast reciprocal light upon their respective approaches to the creative process. It also examines the network of enfolded associations, musical and autobiographical, which link Poulenc’s two compositions commemorating Lorca, not only to one another but also to a wider circle of the composer’s works, especially his cycle setting poems of Guillaume Apollinaire: ‘Calligrammes’. Composed a year after the ‘Trois Chansons de Federico García Lorca’, this intricately wrought collection of seven mélodies, which Poulenc saw as the culmination of an intensive phase in his activity in this genre, revisits some of ‘unheard voices’ and ‘unseen shadows’ enfolded in its predecessor. It may be viewed, in part, as an attempt to bring to fuller resolution the veiled but keenly-felt anguish invoked by these paradoxical properties.

Abstract:
Wood or Blood? New scores and new sounds for voice and clarinet Astrid Kvalbein and Gjertrud Pedersen, Norwegian Academy of Music What is this thing called a score, and how do we relate to it as performers, in order to realize a musical work? This is the fundamental question of this exposition. As a duo we have related to scores in a variety of ways over the years: from the traditional reading and interpreting of sheet music of works by distant (some dead) composers, to learning new works in dialogue with living composers and to taking part in the creative processes from the commissioning of a work to its premiere and beyond. This reflective practice has triggered many questions: could the score for instance be conceptualized as a contract, in which some elements are negotiable and others are not? Where two equal parts, the performer(s) and the composer might have qualitatively different assignments on how to realize the music? Finally: might reflecting on such questions influence our interpretative practices? To shed light on these issues, we take as examples three works from our recent repertoire: Ragnhild Berstad’s Vevtråd (Weaving thread, 2010), Jan Martin Smørdal’s The Lesser Nighthawk (2012) and Lene Grenager’s Tre eller blod (Wood or blood, 2005). We will share – attempt to unfold – some of the experiences gained from working with this music, in close collaboration and dialogue with the composers. Observing the processes from a certain temporal distance, we see how our attitudes as a duo has developed over a longer span of time, into a more confident 'we'.

It deals with top analytics on simulated training of journalists, the study of events and phenomena at the macro level, which enables the qualitative forecast of world development trends in the appropriate contexts for a long time. Key words: top, analytics, book, worldview journalism, culture, arguments, forecast.The article is characterized intellectual-spiritual, moral-aesthetic and information-educational values of of scientific and journalistic works of Professor Mykola Hryhorchuk “Where are you going, Ukraine?” and “Freedom at the Barricades”. Mykola Ivanovych’s creative informational and educational communication are reviews, reviews, reviews and current works of writers, poets, publicists. Such as Maria Matios, Vira Vovk, Roman Ivanychuk, Dmytro Pavlychko, Yuriy Shcherban, Bohdan Korsak, Hryhoriy Huseynov, Vasyl Ruban, Yaroslav Melnyk, Sofia Andrukhovych. His journalistic reflections are about memorable events of the recent past for Ukrainians and historical figures are connected with them. It is emphasized that in his books Mykola Hryhorchuk convincingly illuminates the way to develop a stable Ukrainian immunity, national identity, development and strengthening of the conciliar independent state in the fight against the eternal Moscow enemy. Among the defining ideological and political realization of the National Idea of Ukrainian statehood, which are mentioned in the scientific and journalistic works of M. Hryhorchuk, the fundamental ones – linguistic and religious – are singled out. Israel and Poland are a clear example for Ukrainians. In these states, language and religion were absolutized and it is thanks to this understanding of the essence of state-building and national identity that it is contrary to many difficulties achieve the desired life-affirming goal. The author emphasizes that any information in the broadest and narrow sense can be perceived without testing for compliance with the moral and spiritual mission of man, the fundamental values of the Ukrainian ethnic group, putting moral and spiritual values in the basis of state building. The outstanding Ukrainian philosopher Hryhoriy Skovoroda emphasized: “Faith is the light that sees in the darkness…” Books by physicist Mykola Hryhorchuk “Where are you going, Ukraine?” and “Freedom at the Barricades” are illuminated by faith in the Victory over the bloody centuries-old Moscow darkness.

Abstract:
Unfolding processes of timbre and memory in improvisational piano performance This exposition is an introduction to my research and practice as a pianist, in which I unfold processes of timbre and memory in improvised music from a performer’s perspective. Timbre is often understood as a purely sonic perceptual phenomenon. However, this is not in accordance with a site-specific improvisational practice with changing spatial circumstances impacting the listening experience, nor does it take into account the agency of the instrument and objects used or the performer’s movements and gestures. In my practice, I have found a concept as part of the creating process in improvised music which has compelling potential: Timbre orchestration. My research takes the many and complex aspects of a performance environment into account and offers an extended understanding of timbre, which embraces spatial, material and bodily aspects of sound in improvised music performance. The investigative projects described in this exposition offer a methodology to explore timbral improvisational processes integrated into my practice, which is further extended through collaborations with sound engineers, an instrument builder and a choreographer: -experiments in amplification and recording, resulting in Memory piece, a series of works for amplified piano and multichannel playback - Piano mapping, a performance approach, with a custom-built device for live spatialization as means to expand and deepen spatio-timbral relationships; - Accretion, a project with choreographer Toby Kassell for three grand pianos and a pianist, where gestural approaches are used to activate and compose timbre in space. Together, the projects explore memory as a structural, reflective and performative tool and the creation of performing and listening modes as integrated parts of timbre orchestration. Orchestration and choreography of timbre turn into an open and hybrid compositional approach, which can be applied to various contexts, engaging with dynamic relationships and re-configuring them.

Abstract:
Spread across Brazil and attaining an unparalleled political force, therapeutic communities are as inescapable in the debate on drug policy as they are complex to define. Although they are not a Brazilian creation, they have been operating in that country for decades, and their dissemination intensified in the 1990s. In 2011, they were officially incorporated into Brazil's Psychosocial Care Network (Rede de Atenção Psicossocial, or RAPS). Since then, therapeutic communities have been at the center of public debates about their regulation; about how they should—or even if they should—be a part of the healthcare system; about the level of supervision to which they should be submitted; about their sources of funding, particularly whether or not they should have access to public funding; and, most importantly, about the quality of the services they offer and the many reports of rights violation that have been made public. However, a well-informed public debate can only flourish if the available information is based on sound evidence. The SSRC’s Drugs, Security and Democracy Program is concerned with the policy relevance of the research projects it supports, and the debate around therapeutic communities in Brazil points to a clear need for impartial research that addresses different cross-cutting aspects of this topic in its various dimensions: legal, regulatory, health, and observance of human rights, among others. It is in this context that we publish this working paper series on therapeutic communities in Brazil. The eight articles that compose this series offer a multidisciplinary view of the topic, expanding and deepening the existing literature and offering powerful contributions to a substantive analysis of therapeutic communities as instruments of public policy. Although they can be read separately, it is as a whole that the strength of the eight articles that make up this series becomes more evident. Even though they offer different perspectives, they are complementary works in—and already essential for—delineating and understanding the phenomenon of therapeutic communities in Brazil.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON TRUSS TYPE STEEL REINFORCED CONCRETE JOINTS. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/icass2020.p.165.

Full text
Abstract:
"This paper presents an experimental study on the structural behavior of two truss type steel reinforced concrete (SRC) joints. The objective is to characterize the mechanical behavior of SRC joints subjected to static loading. The specimens were scaled from a concrete core tube connected to a mega steel truss. Mechanical behavior of the joint zone is extremely complicated due to the complex geometry and interactive forces among the connected members. Monotonic loading tests were carried out through a self-balanced loading system. Sparse cracks were observed under design loads. Spalling concrete cover was observed for joint B1. Whereas, only a few cracks were observed in the joint D1 after testing. Based on the measured equivalent strains, the interaction zone of steel sections works elastically under 1.5 times of the design loads. This indicates that the joints have sufficient strength to meet the design requirements. The experimental results presented in this paper provides a better understanding of current truss type composite joints and offers ideas for further research based on the authors' findings."
