Abstract:
Introduction and Importance: Staghorn calculi (SC) are defined as large kidney stones that fill the renal pelvis and at least one renal calyx. They represent 10–20% of all renal stones in developing countries and require prompt diagnosis and management. Massive SC (over 5 cm) are treated exclusively via open surgery, despite percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) being the gold standard treatment for large stones. Descriptions of PCNL for massive SC are very limited in the literature. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 63-year-old male who presented with chronic abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, and normal renal function. He was later diagnosed with polycythemia vera. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed massive, bilateral staghorn stones measuring 7.3×5.5 cm and 1.8×4.5 cm on the right and left, respectively. Additionally, the right stone was found to be compressing the inferior vena cava (IVC). The patient was promptly scheduled for right-sided PCNL and the target of 80% stone fragmentation was successfully attained. Discussion: We present the first case of a stone of such size in the Middle East, as well as the first known case of a renal stone compressing the IVC. Unlike previous reports, the stone was successfully fragmented via PCNL – a procedure that has not been described for stones of such size. Conclusion: This report highlights that ultrasound-guided PNCL without any other intervention is sufficient for the successful treatment of giant SC. Greater research is needed on the potential utility of using ultrasound-guided PCNL for the fragmentation of stones sized over 5 cm.

The challenges of transition from the pediatric to the adult setting have been reported. We describe a case of massive stone burden in the ileocecal pouch of a patient lost to follow-up after his transfer from a pediatric to an adult institution. Although we successfully managed the patient and retrieved the pouch stones without any complications, several surgical complications may occur in a patient with a history of extensive abdominal surgeryand bladder exstrophy. This patient’s late complication might have been prevented with a more efficient transfer from a pediatric to an adult institution.

Abstract:
The failure of debris dams impacted by the massive stones in a debris flow represents a difficult design problem. Reasonable materials selection and structural design can effectively improve the resistance impact performance of debris dams. Based on the cushioning properties of expanded polystyrene (EPS) concrete, EPS concrete as a buffer layer poured on the surface of a rigid debris dam was proposed. A three-dimensional numerical calculation model of an EPS concrete buffer layer/rigid debris dam was established. The single-factor theory revealed change rules for the thickness of the buffer layer concerning the maximal impact force of the rigid debris dam surface through numerical simulation. Moreover, the impact force-time/history curves under different calculation conditions for the rigid debris dam surface were compared. Simulation results showed that the EPS concrete buffer layer can not only effectively extend the impact time of massive stones affecting the debris dam but also reduce the impact force of the rigid debris dam caused by massive stones in the debris flow. The research results provide theoretical guidance for transferring the energy of the massive stone impact, creating a structural design and optimizing debris dams.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The duopoly of curling stone sources suitable for international competition (Ailsa Craig, Firth of Clyde, Scotland and Trefor, Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales) has led to a long-held paradigm that the rocks from these localities are geologically unique. To evaluate this paradigm, we provide the first comprehensive, detailed analyses of the geological, mineralogical, and textural properties of curling stones, with a focus on three main areas: (1) the collective features of all curling stone lithologies, (2) the differences among the lithologies used for running bands versus striking bands, and (3) the presence of quartz, whose brittleness was previously considered to be undesirable in curling stones. The four curling stone varieties from the two localities (Ailsa Craig Blue Hone, Ailsa Craig Common Green, Blue Trefor, and Red Trefor) were analyzed using petrography, scanning electron microscopy, digital image analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and normative mineralogy, with the following results: The curling stone varieties that are suitable for international competition can be broadly characterized as fine- to medium-grained, sparsely porphyritic to glomeroporphyritic, weakly to moderately altered, massive to weakly foliated, Phanerozoic granitoids (sensu lato). All four varieties are composed of feldspar (65–80 mod.%, with albite being the dominant component) and quartz (15–25 mod.%), along with mafic and accessory minerals (5–20 mod.%). The Ailsa Craig suite is classified as alkali feldspar quartz syenite, whereas the Trefor suite ranges from quartz monzogabbro (Blue Trefor) to granodiorite-granite (Red Trefor). None are strictly classified as granite.Predominantly equigranular textures are preferred for running bands (Ailsa Craig Blue Hone), whereas seriate to glomeroporphyritic textures are preferred for striking bands (Ailsa Craig Common Green, Blue Trefor, and Red Trefor). These are consistent with observations of used curling stones: pitting adversely affects larger grains in the running band, whereas a wider grain-size distribution correlates with fewer crescent-shaped fractures in the striking band.The appreciable abundance of unstrained, interstitial quartz (15–25 mod.%) in all curling stone samples challenges the longstanding belief of its absence and undesirability in curling stones. The degree of strain in quartz is likely to be a key criterion for selecting prospective curling stone materials. In conclusion, none of the examined characteristics of curling stones are unique in comparison to granitoids worldwide.

Abstract:
Using tombstones as ethnographic sources, this article examines the introduction of writing into the field of death ritual in an Yi community in Yunnan Province, China. Most Tibeto-Burman-speaking peoples in Southwest China abandoned cremation in favor of burial in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, following a loss of political autonomy and a massive influx of immigrants from the interior. Inscriptions on stones, erected over buried corpses, shifted textual agency from skilled readers to knowledgeable or powerful writers and created links between state authority and the bodies of the dead. Stones became replacements for corpses, doors to the underworld, narratives of lives, and textual diagrams of kinship relations. Yi used stones to create new ways of conceptualizing and reaffirming social relations among living descendants. And they made much of the connection of writing with state authority, inserting their dead into the national time of revolution as the state's beneficiaries or victims.

Abstract:
La pierre. À en juger par le nombre de projets réalisés, de livres et d’articles publiés, de formations suivies, d’expositions organisées et de conférences données autour de son utilisation structurelle, cet ancien matériau de construction connait manifestement un renouveau dans l’architecture contemporaine. Aux côtés d’autres matériaux bio ou géosourcés, présentés comme des alternatives écologiques à leurs homologues synthétiques (principalement le béton, l’acier etla brique), la pierre fait l’objet d’appréciations très positives de la part des professionnels de la construction et du grand public dans un certain nombre de pays d’Europe occidentale. Cet engouement pour les matériaux dits naturels coïncide avec une évolution plus large de la manière dont l’architecture est aujourd’hui présentée, discutée et évaluée, largement inspirée parle material turn dans le domaine de material studies autour de l’an 2000. Ce tournant a vu l’intérêt pour le style, la fonction ou le contenu symbolique des bâtiments largement supplanté par l’attention portée aux matériaux dont ils sont faits, leur fabrication, usage et agency. Les professionnels comme le grand public ont en effet dorénavant tendance à privilégier les considérations sociales, culturelles, économiques et environnementales autour de la construction,de l’utilisation et de l’après-vie des bâtiments, en minimisant et en mettant parfois de côté les questions de forme – l’essence physique des bâtiments.La thèse principale défendue dans Form follows material ? est que la prise en compte du material turn dans la recherche architecturale, aussi précieuse qu’elle ait été en élargissant l’horizon des préoccupations de la discipline, a également le potentiel de remettre fondamentalement en question la façon dont nous pensons la forme. Cette recherche explore donc ce que l’utilisation de la pierre en structure fait à l’architecture contemporaine, en termes d’usages et de forme. Son objectif est moins de déduire une théorie globale de la construction en pierre massive aujourd’hui que d’induire des façons utiles de l’interpréter. Chacun des neuf chapitres représente une perspective à travers laquelle nous pouvons commencer à la situer dans l’histoire récente de l’architecture et à considérer ses conséquences pour la théorie et la pratique architecturale. Ces perspectives ont émergé d’un travail ethnographique sur le terrain autour d’une série de projets de construction (dessinés par Atelier Archiplein, Atelier Architecture Perraudin, Aulets Arquitectes,Institut Balear de l’Habitatge IBAVI et Caruso St John Architects) en cours de réalisation en Suisse, en Espagne et en Angleterre — où l’intérêt pour le matériau est en train de se développer. La pierre est ainsi examinée dans le cadre de son utilisation à des fins structurelles — c’est-à-dire porteuses ou autoportantes — dans la construction aujourd’hui à travers : les raisons pour lesquelles on choisit de l’employer ; la logique de son approvisionnement ; l’expertise à laquelle elle fait appel ; ses prétendus fondements moraux ; le travail impliqué dans son extraction et sa transformation ; ses tendances brutalistes ; ses associations stylistiques ; et, enfin, sa capacité à durer
Stone. If the number of published projects, magazine features, workshops, university courses,exhibitions, and conferences articulated around its structural use is anything to go by, the age-oldbuilding material appears to be undergoing something of a revival in contemporary architecture. Alongside other bio or geo-sourced building materials, portrayed as ecological alternatives totheir synthetic counterparts (mainly concrete, steel and fired brick) stone has been the object ofgrowing enthusiasm among professionals of the built environment as well as the wider public in anumber of West European countries. This enthusiasm for so-called natural materials coincideswith a broader shift in how architecture today is presented, discussed and its quality evaluated,largely inspired by the material turn within the field of material studies around the year 2000 thatsaw a flourishing of interest in things, their agency, fabrication, exchange and raw matter. Thisshift has seen concern for the style, function or symbolic content of buildings largely supersededby an attention to the materials they are made of. It has tended to privilege social, cultural,economic and environmental considerations around the making, use and after-life of buildings, attimes minimising and sidelining questions of form — the physical essence and shape ofbuildings.The principal thesis defended in Form follows Material? is that the espousal of the material turnin architectural research, immensely valuable as it has been in expanding the discipline’s horizonof concern, also carries the potential to fundamentally challenge how we think about form, itscentral preoccupation. The research thus set out to explore what employing stone in structure isdoing to contemporary architecture, in terms of both uses and form. Its objective has been less tod educe an overarching theory of building in massive stone today than to induce useful ways ofinterpreting the trend as it continues to evolve. Each of the nine chapters represents oneperspective through which we might begin to situate it within recent architectural history and to consider its consequences for contemporary architectural theory and practice. These perspectiveshave emerged out of my ethnographic fieldwork around a series of building projects in themaking (drawn by Atelier Archiplein, Atelier Architecture Perraudin, Aulets Arquitectes, InstitutBalear de l’Habitatge IBAVI et Caruso St John Architects) in Switzerland, Spain and England —where a critical mass of interest in the material is developing. The thesis thus considers stoneused for structural — that is to say load-bearing or self-supporting — purposes in construction today in terms of: the reasons for choosing to employ it; the logic of its supply; the expertise itcalls upon; its purported moral underpinnings; the labour involved in its extraction and transformation; its brutalist tendencies; stylistic associations; and finally, its capacity to last

Abstract:
Dans le secteur des soins de santé, les données d'images médicales toujours croissantes, le développement de technologies d'imagerie, la conservation à long terme des données médicales et l'augmentation de la résolution des images entraînent une croissance considérable du volume de données. En outre, la variété des dispositifs d'acquisition et la différence de préférences des médecins ou d'autres professionnels de la santé ont conduit à une grande variété de données. Bien que la norme DICOM (Digital Imaging et Communication in Medicine) soit aujourd'hui largement adoptée pour stocker et transférer les données médicales, les données DICOM ont toujours les caractéristiques 3V du Big Data: volume élevé, grande variété et grande vélocité. En outre, il existe une variété de charges de travail, notamment le traitement transactionnel en ligne (en anglais Online Transaction Processing, abrégé en OLTP), le traitement analytique en ligne (anglais Online Analytical Processing, abrégé en OLAP) et les charges de travail mixtes. Les systèmes existants ont des limites concernant ces caractéristiques des données et des charges de travail. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons de nouvelles méthodes efficaces pour stocker et interroger des données DICOM. Nous proposons un modèle de stockage hybride des magasins de lignes et de colonnes, appelé HYTORMO, ainsi que des stratégies de stockage de données et de traitement des requêtes. Tout d'abord, HYTORMO est conçu et mis en œuvre pour être déployé sur un environnement à grande échelle afin de permettre la gestion de grandes données médicales. Deuxièmement, la stratégie de stockage de données combine l'utilisation du partitionnement vertical et un stockage hybride pour créer des configurations de stockage de données qui peuvent réduire la demande d'espace de stockage et augmenter les performances de la charge de travail. Pour réaliser une telle configuration de stockage de données, l'une des deux approches de conception de stockage de données peut être appliquée: (1) conception basée sur des experts et (2) conception automatisée. Dans la première approche, les experts créent manuellement des configurations de stockage de données en regroupant les attributs des données DICOM et en sélectionnant une disposition de stockage de données appropriée pour chaque groupe de colonnes. Dans la dernière approche, nous proposons un cadre de conception automatisé hybride, appelé HADF. HADF dépend des mesures de similarité (entre attributs) qui prennent en compte les impacts des informations spécifiques à la charge de travail et aux données pour générer automatiquement les configurations de stockage de données: Hybrid Similarity (combinaison pondérée de similarité d'accès d'attribut et de similarité de densité d'attribut) les attributs dans les groupes de colonnes; Inter-Cluster Access Similarity est utilisé pour déterminer si deux groupes de colonnes seront fusionnés ou non (pour réduire le nombre de jointures supplémentaires); et Intra-Cluster Access La similarité est appliquée pour décider si un groupe de colonnes sera stocké dans une ligne ou un magasin de colonnes. Enfin, nous proposons une stratégie de traitement des requêtes adaptée et efficace construite sur HYTORMO. Il considère l'utilisation des jointures internes et des jointures externes gauche pour empêcher la perte de données si vous utilisez uniquement des jointures internes entre des tables partitionnées verticalement. De plus, une intersection de filtres Bloom (intersection of Bloom filters, abrégé en ) est appliqué pour supprimer les données non pertinentes des tables d'entrée des opérations de jointure; cela permet de réduire les coûts d'E / S réseau.

In the health care industry, the ever-increasing medical image data, the development of imaging technologies, the long-term retention of medical data and the increase of image resolution are causing a tremendous growth in data volume. In addition, the variety of acquisition devices and the difference in preferences of physicians or other health-care professionals have led to a high variety in data. Although today DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) standard has been widely adopted to store and transfer the medical data, DICOM data still has the 3Vs characteristics of Big Data: high volume, high variety and high velocity. Besides, there is a variety of workloads including Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and mixed workloads. Existing systems have limitations dealing with these characteristics of data and workloads. In this thesis, we propose new efficient methods for storing and querying DICOM data. We propose a hybrid storage model of row and column stores, called HYTORMO, together with data storage and query processing strategies. First, HYTORMO is designed and implemented to be deployed on large-scale environment to make it possible to manage big medical data. Second, the data storage strategy combines the use of vertical partitioning and a hybrid store to create data storage configurations that can reduce storage space demand and increase workload performance. To achieve such a data storage configuration, one of two data storage design approaches can be applied: (1) expert-based design and (2) automated design. In the former approach, experts manually create data storage configurations by grouping attributes and selecting a suitable data layout for each column group. In the latter approach, we propose a hybrid automated design framework, called HADF. HADF depends on similarity measures (between attributes) that can take into consideration the combined impact of both workload- and data-specific information to generate data storage configurations: Hybrid Similarity (a weighted combination of Attribute Access and Density Similarity measures) is used to group the attributes into column groups; Inter-Cluster Access Similarity is used to determine whether two column groups will be merged together or not (to reduce the number of joins); and Intra-Cluster Access Similarity is applied to decide whether a column group will be stored in a row or a column store. Finally, we propose a suitable and efficient query processing strategy built on top of HYTORMO. It considers the use of both inner joins and left-outer joins. Furthermore, an Intersection Bloom filter () is applied to reduce network I/O cost.We provide experimental evaluations to validate the benefits of the proposed methods over real DICOM datasets. Experimental results show that the mixed use of both row and column stores outperforms a pure row store and a pure column store. The combined impact of both workload-and data-specific information is helpful for HADF to be able to produce good data storage configurations. Moreover, the query processing strategy with the use of the can improve the execution time of an experimental query up to 50% when compared to the case where no is applied

Considering the state-of-the-art systems for data management, it is observable that they exhibit two main frailties when deployed in a large scale system. On one hand, coordination protocols used in traditional relational database management systems do not perform well when the system grows beyond tens of nodes. On the other hand, data management approaches that relax consistency guarantees, thus avoiding coordination, struggle with high levels of system churn. In this dissertation, we present a completely decentralized, coordinationfree, scalable and robust data store. Our design is aimed at environments with several thousands of nodes and high levels of churn. O↵ering the current ubiquitous key-value data structures and programming interfaces, we describe how to overcome challenges raised by the need to distribute data - essential for load balancing, to replicate data - the crux of fault tolerance, and to route requests - key to performability. Alongside the design of our data store, we make several contributions in the context of distributed systems slicing. We propose a novel slicing protocol that overcomes state-of-the-art limitations. Additionally, we propose a novel epidemic algorithm for scalable and decentralized organization of system nodes into groups. This algorithm is used as an alternative to slicing at the core of our system. It organizes nodes into groups of parameterizable size without the need to have nodes knowing the system size. The contributions made on slicing protocols and the proposed group construction protocol are independent from the design of the data store. They are generic and can also be used as building blocks for other applications.
Ao considerar o estado da arte no que diz respeito a gestão de dados, é possível observar que as soluções existentes exibem duas grandes fragilidades quando instaladas em sistemas de grande escala. Por um lado, os protocolos de coordenação utilizados nas bases de dados relacionais tradicionais não são capazes de gerir, de forma eficaz, mais de uma dezena de nós. Por outro lado, abordagens que relaxam a coerência dos dados evitando assim protocolos de coordenação, escalam melhor mas não conseguem lidar com elevados níveis de dinamismo. Nomeadamente, constante entrada e saída de nós do sistema. Nesta dissertação apresentamos um sistema de armazenamento de dados completamente descentralizado, que não recorre a protocolos de coordenação, que é escalável e robusto. O desenho do nosso sistema visa ambientes com vários milhares de nós e elevados níveis de dinamismo. Oferecendo uma interface chave-valor, descrevemos como superar os desafios de distribuição de dados - essencial para balanceamento de carga, de replicação de dados - que permite tolerância a falhas e de direccionamento de pedidos - chave para o desempenho. Além do desenho do nosso sistema de armazenamento fazemos várias contribuições no âmbito do fatiamento de sistemas distribuídos. Propomos um novo protocolo de fatiamento que resolve várias limitações das abordagens existentes. Adicionalmente, propomos um novo algoritmo epidémico para organizar um sistema em grupos de nós de forma descentralizada e escalável. Este algoritmo é utilizado como alternativa a protocolos de fatiamento no mecanismo interno do nosso sistema. Organiza os nós em grupos de tamanho parametrizável sem que os nós precisem de saber o tamanho do sistema. As contribuições feitas em algoritmos de fatiamento e o novo algoritmo de construção de grupos são independentes do sistema de armazenamento de dados. So genéricos e podem ser utilizados como componentes de outras aplicações.

La distribution des concentrations en 10Be mesurées par spectrométrie de masse par accélérateur dans des quartz issus de filons et prélevés dans des profils de sols permet 1/ de déterminer l'origine autochtone ou allochtone des matériaux lors de la mise en place des séquences étudiées, 2/ de quantifier les taux d'érosion ou d'enfouissement affectant ces surfaces, et 3/ de mettre en évidence et d'estimer l'extension de l'activité biologique. L'examen de l'évolution de la concentration en 10Be le long de "stone-lines" permet de préciser sans ambiguïté leur origine allochtone ou autochtone et, dans ce dernier cas, deux types de modèles développés au cours de ce travail permettent alors d'estimer la vitesse des déplacements latéraux superficiels des sols.

Abstract:
AbstractIndigenous people share ancient epistemological understandings of the world. These define for them what makes up the world, how forces influence these components, and why this all happens. These understandings are basic in that they frame human value orientations, call for individual and group action, and interpret natural and human events. Because epistemology involves ancient shared cultural understandings of the world, talking about the world involves cross-cultural communication, which is a special feature of anthropology. This chapter is an analysis of epistemological divides in cross-cultural communication about massive stone bridges. The divide is most clearly viewed when Native American cultural experts explain the meaning and purpose of stone bridges to Western science-trained National Park Service managers and geologists. To the former, the stone bridges are alive and were made at Creation as a place for World-balancing ceremonies and as portals to and from other dimensions. To the latter, stone bridges are inert remanent sandstone deposits that have been eroded into oxbows and undercut by small rivers over millions of years.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper introduces three catastrophic landslide disasters on the tectonic orogenic belt in Western Japan caused by rainfalls or earthquakes and the countermeasures against them. The first case story is the mega slide of Unzen-Mayuyama of Quaternary volcanic rock due to the 1792 earthquake. The landslide and subsequent tsunami caused the worst Japanese landslide-induced disaster in Shimabara and Ariake Bay. The stone pillars installed after the disaster, indicating the arrival points of the tsunami will generate awareness of the tsunami caused by landslides for future generations. Secondly, the Kumamoto earthquake of 2016 has induced many shallow landslides on tephra-covered slopes and massive slope failures that disrupted highway and rail traffic. Unmanned construction to secure workers has been introduced to stabilize the slope failure early. There is an urgent need for research on the identification of hazardous slopes for landslides on tephra-covered slopes. Thirdly, the Hiroshima disaster in 2018 was characterized by landslides, mainly in the suburban residential areas in Hiroshima City, where heavy rains have caused landslides from the weathered soil, so-called “Masa,” of granitic rocks. Similar disasters occurred in 1999 and 2014 in Hiroshima. The restoration project has been carried out by adopting necessary structural measures such as Sabo dams and non-structural measures such as land use regulations and/or early warning systems based on the Sediment Disaster Prevention Act.

Abstract:
AbstractTaihu stone is an important landscape element in Chinese Private Garden on Southern Yangtze river, which is known for its profound cultural and aesthetic significance. In this paper, we intend to introduce the 3D spacial character of Taihu stone into architectural forms and spaces using machine learning, trying to explore the possibilities of AI-assisted 3D form finding and design latent space exploration. Existing spacial transformation of Taihu stone is mainly demonstrated by continuous section slicing, which cannot directly analyze and generate 3D space, thus cannot learn the most characteristic internal space of Taihu stone. This paper used the latest 3D point cloud probabilistic diffusion model to achieve 3D form generation and interpolation of Taihu stone and architectural massing through latent space exploration. Experiments show that a sufficiently trained diffusion model can generate 3D point clouds of Taihu stone and building massing, as well as generate interpolations between them. The latent vector can be manipulated to generate outputs that are more oriented towards the Taihu stone or the building massing, to meet the different needs of designers. Generated point clouds can be reconstructed into triangle meshes or voxelized, as a morphological prototype for further design implementation. Generated forms are capable to provide inspiration and reference for the designers to create free forms, showing the potential of the diffusion model to assist architecture design in conceptual phases.

Abstract:
AbstractLandslide disasters in Bangladesh’s Chittagong hill districts (CHD) put lives, livelihood, and the ecosystem at risk. Therefore, understanding the causes of landslide events in CHD is crucial to preparing and implementing disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies. The causes of landslides are generally seen through the lenses of physical science. However, to better understand the landslide disaster mechanism, it is essential to explore the human activities that trigger and aggravate the events. This article uses qualitative social science tools and techniques to investigate CHD’s anthropogenic-induced landslide disasters. Forty key informants from diverse professions, ethnicities, communities, and backgrounds were interviewed between 9 June and 3 November 2020. The recorded interviews were translated, transcribed, and thematically analysed in NVivo software. The results show that human-induced landslides in CHD evolve around three broader areas: demography, climate change, and lack of coordination and regulation. First, increased population, hill cutting, deforestation, manipulated agricultural practices, and sand and stone extraction is the leading anthropogenic activities of landslides in CHD. Second, the influx of Rohingya refugees into Bangladesh significantly increased landslide vulnerability. Third, climate change-induced erratic rainfall is leading to more rainfall-induced landslides. Finally, a lack of coordination and regulations among various institutions hinders the DRR process. The short, medium- and long-term recommendations include stopping illegal hill cutting and deforestation, regulating heavy vehicles, increasing coordination, institutionalising early warning systems, conducting massive awareness campaigns, conducting further research, addressing challenges such as lightning, climate migration and conflict, and creating a master plan exclusive for the entire region and coming up with a political consensus for better implementation of the plan.

Abstract:
Abstract3D personal data is a type of data that contains useful information for product design, online sale services, medical research and patient follow-up.Currently, hospitals store and grow massive collections of 3D data that are not accessible by researchers, professionals or companies. About 2.7 petabytes a year are stored in the EU26.In parallel to the advances made in the healthcare sector, a new, low-cost 3D body-surface scanning technology has been developed for the goods consumer sector, namely, apparel, animation and art. It is estimated that currently one person is scanned every 15 min in the USA and Europe. And increasing.The 3D data of the healthcare sector can be used by designers and manufacturers of the consumer goods sector. At the same time, although 3D body-surface scanners have been developed primarily for the garment industry, 3D scanners’ low cost, non-invasive character and ease of use make them appealing for widespread clinical applications and large-scale epidemiological surveys.However, companies and professionals of the consumer goods sector cannot easily access the 3D data of the healthcare sector. And vice versa. Even exchanging information between data owners in the same sector is a big problem today. It is necessary to overcome problems related to data privacy and the processing of huge 3D datasets.To break these silos and foster the exchange of data between the two sectors, the BodyPass project has developed: (1) processes to harmonize 3D databases; (2) tools able to aggregate 3D data from different huge datasets; (3) tools for exchanging data and to assure anonymization and data protection (based on blockchain technology and distributed query engines); (4) services and visualization tools adapted to the necessities of the healthcare sector and the garment sector.These developments have been applied in practical cases by hospitals and companies of in the garment sector.

Abstract:
Quanzhou in south-eastern China was built in the Sui Dynasty, having more than 1,000 years of history. Its urban development led to the triple walls in a different period of time. Its unique landscape of multiple walls is a one of the Chinese ancient city patterns. However, the massive stone-built city wall pattern like Newcastle also has more than 1000, years of history in western cities .City walls maintain the preeminence as the city’s most powerful fixation line. The expansion of the wall in Quanzhou shows how the time-space changes, while Newcastle' s fringe belt is relatively stable, which forms a different urban form. This article mainly compares the following aspects: (1) The development of Quanzhou fringe belt; (2) Differences of fringe belts between the multiple walls city and the sole wall city; (3) Differences of land use in intramural zone between two cities. This paper analyzes the differences of fringe belts caused by city walls between Quanzhou, (China) and Newcastle, (England), and their influence on the urban form between the East and the West.

Abstract:
The structure of the Clock Tower in Skopje is massive, constructed of stone masonry with a height of about 29 meters and brick masonry in the upper octagonal part. It was damaged during the Skopje Earthquake in 1963. A rehabilitation of the structure was carried out in 1964, but without a seismic strengthening. Recently, field investigations were carried out and a three-dimensional analysis of the structure in its actual state for gravitational and seismic forces was performed. It has been concluded that it is necessary to perform protective interventions to ensure longer-term protection, stability and further existence in the form of repair of existing structural damage, structural consolidation, repair of damaged timber elements and strengthening. To improve the behaviour and resistance to dynamic impacts, a technical solution for consolidation and retrofitting has been proposed. The basic concept consists of existing structural damage rehabilitation, structural consolidation with systemic injection, rehabilitation of load-bearing wooden beams and braces and strengthening the whole structure. Due to the specificity of the structure of the Clock Tower in terms of its shape, used material, structural system and the type of structural elements, as well as its importance as a cultural and historical heritage, which requires respect of certain conservation principles and rules, the options for rehabilitation and strengthening are strictly limited. It excludes inserting new structural elements that would provide sufficient ductility during maximum expected earthquakes. The rehabilitation and strengthening were carried out with innovative composite materials that were experimentally verified, but never applied before. The analysis results show that the retrofitted structure can withstand the maximum expected seismic loads according to the actual technical regulations.

Abstract:
В статье излагаются результаты обследования женской мастерской по производству традиционных глиняных печей-тандуров в г. Пуна (Ин дия, штат Махараштра). Производство тандуров оказалось тесно связано с гончарством. У мастериц зафиксирован навык составления формовочной массы по рецепту «глина + конский навоз + зола». Конструирование производится жгутами или лентами по кольцу с последующим выбиванием. Мастерицы владеют навыком изготовления сосудов с донно-емкостным монолитным начином. Для формовки используется каменный поворотный столик с подвижной осью. Готовые изделия подвергаются очажному обжигу, типичному для местных гончарных традиций. В результате исследования был сделан вывод, что даже в условиях урбанизации женщины из касты гончаров сохраняют наиболее архаичные черты домашнего лепного гончарства. Однако зафиксированные навыки труда находятся в неустойчивом состоянии вследствие экономического давления и интенсивных культурных контактов. Некоторые навыки, такие как обжиг изделий, использование поворотного столика, формовочная масса с навозом, вероятно, были привнесены в производство тандуров из местных гончарных традиций. A survey of a women’s workshop for the production of traditional clay ovens (tandoor) was conducted in Pune, Maharashtra, India. Tandoor making was closely associated with pottery. The skill in making the pottery paste with the recipe “clay + horse manure + ash” was documented. The building was performed with coils or massive bands placed in a circle, with a subsequent beating. Female artisans preserved a skill in making proper vessels with the bottom to wall solid seed-body. A stone turntable with a rotating pivot was used both in tandoor and pottery making. The finished pieces were fired in an oven typical of the local pot tery tradition. A conclusion was made that, even in an urbanising world women of the caste of potters retained the most archaic traits of a domestic hand-building pottery. However, the skills recorded are in an unstable state due to economic pressure and intense cultural contacts. Some skills, such as the firing, the use of a turntable, and the usage of manure for paste, were probably transferred into tandoor-making from the local pottery traditions.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Pillars have a central role in an active stress management approach, which has been proposed for the extraction of thick tabular and massive hard-rock mineral deposits. A mining method making use of this approach, is the novel raise caving mining method. Initially, the pillars have width-to-height ratios of 5 to 10. In the course of stope extraction, the dimensions of the pillars are altered, namely the height of pillars is increased and the width of pillars may be decreased. Consequently, the pillar strength is reduced and pillar crushing is triggered. A stable crushing process must be ensured. Knowledge on the complete stress-strain behavior of massive hard-rock pillars is paramount for the design of these pillars. However, a review shows that there is insufficient knowledge available. An in-situ pillar test is found to be best suited to improve the knowledge. The need for, objective of and design of such a full-scale in-situ pillar test are discussed. An in-situ pillar test is planned in one of LKAB's underground operations in connection with the development of the raise caving mining method. The layout and sequence of the test and the current progress of design and open points in the design are outlined. INTRODUCTION Pillars are used in underground mining for several, different purposes. The tasks for pillars comprise regional support of the overburden strata (panel pillars), local support of the immediate roof strata (crush pillars), the separation of adjacent extraction areas (inter-panel pillars), the control of regional convergence and the associated limit of mining-induced seismicity and abutment stresses (stabilizing pillars) and the protection of critical infrastructure, such as shaft systems (protection pillars). This paper addresses massive hard-rock pillars, which take over a central function in an active stress management strategy in massive deposits or in thick tabular deposits. Due to the shape and dimensions of the deposits and the considered purpose, the pillars are massive and they have a width and height in the range of several tens of meters and a length of up to and more than hundred meters.

Abstract:
Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness and comparative effectiveness of opioid, nonopioid pharmacologic, and nonpharmacologic therapy in patients with specific types of acute pain, including effects on pain, function, quality of life, adverse events, and long-term use of opioids. Data sources. Electronic databases (Ovid® MEDLINE®, PsycINFO®, Embase®, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) to August 2020, reference lists, and a Federal Register notice. Review methods. Using predefined criteria and dual review, we selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of outpatient therapies for eight acute pain conditions: low back pain, neck pain, other musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, postoperative pain following discharge, dental pain (surgical or nonsurgical), pain due to kidney stones, and pain due to sickle cell disease. Meta-analyses were conducted on pharmacologic therapy for dental pain and kidney stone pain, and likelihood of repeat or rescue medication use and adverse events. The magnitude of effects was classified as small, moderate, or large using previously defined criteria, and strength of evidence was assessed. Results. One hundred eighty-three RCTs on the comparative effectiveness of therapies for acute pain were included. Opioid therapy was probably less effective than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for surgical dental pain and kidney stones, and might be similarly effective as NSAIDs for low back pain. Opioids and NSAIDs were more effective than acetaminophen for surgical dental pain, but opioids were less effective than acetaminophen for kidney stone pain. For postoperative pain, opioids were associated with increased likelihood of repeat or rescue analgesic use, but effects on pain intensity were inconsistent. Being prescribed an opioid for acute low back pain or postoperative pain was associated with increased likelihood of use of opioids at long-term followup versus not being prescribed, based on observational studies. Heat therapy was probably effective for acute low back pain, spinal manipulation might be effective for acute back pain with radiculopathy, acupressure might be effective for acute musculoskeletal pain, an opioid might be effective for acute neuropathic pain, massage might be effective for some types of postoperative pain, and a cervical collar or exercise might be effective for acute neck pain with radiculopathy. Most studies had methodological limitations. Effect sizes were primarily small to moderate for pain, the most commonly evaluated outcome. Opioids were associated with increased risk of short-term adverse events versus NSAIDs or acetaminophen, including any adverse event, nausea, dizziness, and somnolence. Serious adverse events were uncommon for all interventions, but studies were not designed to assess risk of overdose, opioid use disorder, or long-term harms. Evidence on how benefits or harms varied in subgroups was lacking. Conclusions. Opioid therapy was associated with decreased or similar effectiveness as an NSAID for some acute pain conditions, but with increased risk of short-term adverse events. Evidence on nonpharmacological therapies was limited, but heat therapy, spinal manipulation, massage, acupuncture, acupressure, a cervical collar, and exercise were effective for specific acute pain conditions. Research is needed to determine the comparative effectiveness of therapies for sickle cell pain, acute neuropathic pain, neck pain, and management of postoperative pain following discharge; effects of therapies for acute pain on non-pain outcomes; effects of therapies on long-term outcomes, including long-term opioid use; and how benefits and harms of therapies vary in subgroups.
