By calculating the mutual information of stock indexes of 10 primary industry sectors in China, this paper analyzes the dependence relationship among Chinese stock sectors during the COVID-19 and the dynamic evolution of the relationship by using the sliding window method. According to the actual situation of the development of COVID-19 in China, the samples were divided into three stages, namely, calm period, pandemic period, and post-pandemic period. The results show that the dependence relationship among Chinese stock sectors is significantly enhanced in the pandemic period, but it decreases in the post-pandemic period and the dependence structure is similar to that in the calm period. The industrials sector is most closely connected with other sectors in the pandemic period. The information technology sector and telecommunication services sector maintain strong dependence in the three periods and share little contact with other sectors. In the pandemic period, the dependence between the consumer staples sector and other sectors is significantly enhanced, and consumer staples sector and health care sector maintain a strong dependence. From the results of the sliding window, the Chinese stock market is sensitive to the impact of COVID-19, but the duration of the impact on the dependence among the stock sectors is not long.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the nexus between economic growth and inequality in Odisha at sectoral level for the post-reform period. Odisha has witnessed high economic growth in the post-reform period. With high growth rate, the sectoral composition of income has also registered a major change. However, the post-reform period too witnessed an increase in disparities in income among the sectors and increased inequality. So the question that normally arises here is whether the sector witnessing high growth remains the major contributor to income inequality in the state during the post-reform period? While seeking an answer to this question, we observed that the primary sector which is growing at a low rate caused a reduction in inequality. But, the tertiary sector which is the main driver of overall economic growth in Odisha in the post-reform period remains the major contributor to the rise in inequality. The study supports the hypothesis found at national level that a sector driving the overall economic growth also positively contributes to inequality.

Full textAbstract:
The Russian Arctic is at the epicentre of economic, environmental, and social changes. At the same time, the peripheral character of the territory, its strong orientation on primary sector makes the region extremely volatile to suchlike shifts. The study concerns primary sector transformation in the Post-Soviet period when after 1991 significant changes in the economy were observed. The main aim of the paper is to identify the specifics, features and development prospects of the recent primary sector transfor-mation in the Russian Arctic. The statistical methods do not reflect the full picture of the transformation. Firstly, Russia has switched to UN national accounts system only in 1994. Secondly, the Arctic statistics after 2009 for regional level is unavailable. That is why the main method of the research is the expert survey method. The results of the study demonstrate the dominant role of the primary sector and the strong dependence of Russian Arctic regions on these activities. The study identifies the key factors and drivers of the transformation, a specific position of the oil and gas sector and the role of natural resources to be traditionally used in the primary sector. Despite the positive role of economic diversification in the long-term economic development, the corresponding effect for the Arctic regions is not fully expressed. The methodological novelty of the research is an unconventional research method of investigating primary sector transformation on the regional level in the Post-Soviet Russian Arctic, i.e. the expert survey. The method can be applied to other countries and industries.

AbstractIntroduction: A professional understanding of disasters, paired with the need for health service development, can provide opportunities for the recovery and improvement of the health sector. Investment in training capacity ranks among the top priorities of a recovering health sector. The recovery and development of primary healthcare delivery systems has been implemented by various international and local health players in the aftermath of conflicts around the world. However, human resource development in the post-conflict environment has not been evaluated and/or published appropriately in the medical literature.Objective: In this retrospective, descriptive study, the authors describe the strategy and evaluate the effectiveness of a field-based training program for primary healthcare doctors implemented by the US-based international non-governmental organization, the International Medical Corps, after the conflict in Kosovo in 1999.Methods: A six-month, comprehensive education and training program on primary healthcare issues was delivered to 134 Kosovar primary healthcare physicians in 10 Kosovo municipalities in 1999 and 2000. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected. The qualitative methods included open-ended, semi-structured, key informant interviews, structured focus groups, and unstructured participant observations. The quantitative method was multiple-choice knowledge tests.Results: The education and training program proved to be culturally appropriate and well-accepted by local communities. The program met its overall objective to refresh the knowledge of primary care doctors on various primary healthcare issues and set the stage for further strengthening and development of primary health services and their required human resources in Kosovo.Conclusions: The comprehensive education and training of primary healthcare doctors in Kosovo was a feasible, much appreciated, and effective intervention implemented in a difficult post-conflict environment. This training was one of the early steps in the modernization of primary healthcare services in Kosovo. Later, primary health care was strengthened by the introduction of a Department of Family Medicine at the university, which includes a residency program. The intervention described in this study has the potential to be reproduced in other post-disaster environments, especially in resource-poor settings with long-time troubled health sectors in developing countries.

Full textAbstract:
The short-run market performance of initial public offerings (IPOs) indicates that the prices are often underpriced. This is widely accepted as a universal phenomenon. To find out whether Australian IPOs are underpriced, this paper analyzes the short-run market performance of 254 IPOs by industry, listing year and issue year. To measure the performance, the first-day returns are divided into the opening price primary market and the closing price secondary market, and the post-listing returns are also examined. The study found that, overall, Australian IPOs were underpriced by 25.47% based on abnormal returns and 26.43% on raw returns on the first-day primary market, which was statistically significant at the 1% level. However, analysis of the secondary market indicates that the Australian IPOs were overpriced by 1.55% and 1.54% on abnormal and raw returns, respectively, which was statistically significant at the 5% level. The examination of post-listing returns shows that Australian IPOs were underpriced based on cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) on the 3rd, 6th, and 10thdays by 24.63%, 24.06%, and 23.34%, respectively. The primary and post-listing analysis shows that IPOs in the industrial sector are more attractive to investors, whereas those in the chemical and materials sector are less attractive compared to other sectors. As far as the investors’ wealth is concerned, the study concludes that the short-run market performance analysis should consider both the first-day and post-listing returns

Full textAbstract:
Carbon dioxide emissions are on the rise, posing a serious global issue. Therefore, it is important that policymakers identify the exact causes of these emissions. This paper investigates the influence of financial development, primary energy consumption, and economic growth on CO2 emissions in 11 post-transition European economies. The assessment was made for the 1995–2017 period using panel cointegration and causality analyses. The causality analyses did not reveal significant connection between financial sector development and CO2 emissions, but rather a two-way causality between primary energy consumption and economic growth, on one hand, and CO2 emissions on the other. Meanwhile, long-run analysis disclosed that financial sector development and primary energy consumption positively affected CO2 emissions. Our results seek to grab the attention of policy makers, who could work towards creating country-specific strategies that balance the relationship between financial development and CO2 emissions. These long-term policies could ensure both development of the financial sector and environmental protection.

"Decline, growth and amalgamation : an emerging picture in relation to the provision of post-primary education in Ireland with specific reference to five towns in West Cork and the enrolment trends between Catholic and State-Sector schools therein." Thesis, University of Hull, 2003. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:10113.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces the origin and development of post-primary education in Ireland with specific reference to the different forms of post-primary school. It examines recent and current trends in relation to the number of, and enrolment in, these school types. This analysis, at national level, points towards a change in postprimary enrolment patterns. The implications of this change for Catholic schools is examined, as is the implications for the various Vocational Education Committees. Consequent to this changing enrolment trend, the process towards amalgamation and the consequences thereof are also investigated. Specifically, the five main towns in West Cork, that are serviced by more than one form of post-primary school. are examined and the educational provision in these towns is assessed in relation to viability and future educational provision. These towns are Bantry, Dunmanway, Clonakilty, Skibbereen and Bandon. The enrolment trends in each of these towns are examined and compared with both the national trend and the trend in the other four towns. This examination is achieved through an identification of the 'feeder' primary schools for each of these towns, the current transfer pattern of students in these schools to the various post-primary schools and an examination of current enrolment within the various year groupings of these primary schools. From this examination, a projection is made of future enrolment in each of the post-primary schools within the five towns. This, in tum, leads to an identification of future possible amalgamations and a justification of amalgamations already proposed by the Department of Education and Science. The thesis concludes by making several recommendations which would safeguard the ethos of Catholic schools in the light of a declining secondary school enrolment, a growth in amalgamations and an increasingly significant role for the VECs in the provision of post-primary education. These recommendations would also ease the process of amalgamations in schools that are not viable, either economically or in terms of curricular provision.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter outlines the historical roots of health inequities. It focuses on the African continent, where life expectancy is the shortest and health systems are weakest. The chapter describes the impoverishment of countries by colonial powers, the development of the global human rights framework in the post-World War II era, the impact of the Cold War on African liberation struggles, and the challenges faced by newly liberated African governments to deliver health care through the public sector. The influence of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund’s neoliberal economic policies is also discussed. The chapter highlights the shift from the aspiration of “health for all” voiced at the Alma Ata Conference on Primary Health Care in 1978, to the more narrowly defined “selective primary health care.” Finally, the chapter explains the challenges inherent in financing health in impoverished countries and how user fees became standard practice.

Mammography is currently the primary imaging modality for post-operative evaluation and surveillance of the conservatively treated breast. Tumor recurrence has been shown to occur at a rate of approximately 1–2% per year, and the goal of imaging surveillance is to detect recurrent and new cancers at the earliest stages while avoiding unnecessary biopsies for characteristically benign findings. The radiologist should be familiar with the expected mammographic appearance and evolution of benign post-lumpectomy/post-radiation change, while also recognizing findings suspicious for residual and recurrent disease. This chapter, appearing in the section on intervention and surgical changes, reviews the key imaging and clinical features, imaging protocols and pitfalls, and clinical recommendations for the post-lumpectomy and post-radiation breast. Topics discussed include the evolution of benign post-surgical/post-radiation findings and the detection of suspicious lesions. The primary emphasis will be on mammographic surveillance. The role of ultrasound and MRI will also be discussed.

AbstractThis chapter identifies the overall trends in Japan’s official development assistance (ODA) policies for the health sector in developing countries from 1990 to 2020 and its future post-COVID-19 prospects. Since the end of the Cold War, watershed events have repeatedly changed the landscape of international cooperation in the health sector. Like other international aid donors, Japan has devised priorities and strategies for ODA based on a set of international and domestic factors in a constantly changing world. Numerous studies on Japan’s ODA have examined international and domestic factors that impact the formulation of the country’s aid policy. This chapter aims to add to those studies by combining recent debates on international cooperation and foreign aid, the right to health, and world health system reforms to explore and analyze Japan’s ODA for health in developing countries. The guiding research questions were as follows: What were the major trends in Japan’s ODA policies in the health sector from 1990 to 2020? Which international health debates and international cooperation factors exerted influence on those trends? What are the prospects of Japan’s ODA given the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts? The research relied on primary sources, specifically Japan’s ODA official documents and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) ODA quantitative databases, as well as secondary sources, such as academic literature on international cooperation and foreign aid for health. Our preliminary findings revealed that Japan’s ODA in the health sector from 1990 to 2020 centered on two main axes: infectious diseases and maternal and child health, both of which are oriented toward strengthening the healthcare system. Given this goal, it seems relevant to consider that Japan’s health system is based on the assumption of the need to provide universal health coverage, a concept currently supported by the World Health Organization (WHO), in contrast to the universal health system, and that the implications of this choice on Japan’s ODA and developing countries’ health policies are yet to be fully understood. The COVID-19 pandemic has put substantial pressure on health systems globally and international cooperation for health; thus, it has the potential to affect and even change Japan’s ODA for the health sector in developing countries.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged in the world in the month of Dec. 2019 in China and rapidly spread all over the world. The major issue with the disease is that it spread just by coming into contact with the infected person or infected object, and therefore, it is very difficult to operate day-to-day operations, jobs, and various economic activities in a country. The most damaging impact of this pandemic is that it has disturbed various economic activities all over the world. Many people lost their jobs, many businesses shut down, and many services stopped. Now the point is how to operate these various activities in more strategic ways so that negative impacts of the same can be minimized. Every economic activity has its own parameters and system of operations, and therefore, every activity has to be dealt with in a unique way. This chapter discusses post-pandemic strategies for critical sectoral development to resume their development. The required data for the present study was collected from both primary and secondary sources.

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the state economy in connection with employment generation and the way conflict situation changed its nature in the militancy and post-militancy period. The volume of work also shows the hidden factors responsible to the changing nature of employment. It can be concluded that the workforce growth is accompanied and assisted by structural transformation unevenly in the sectors due to unpretentious development. The decline of workforce share in primary sector is compensated by the increase in the share of tertiary sector gives fillip to the process of urbanization by way of migration from rural to urban areas. This dynamic nature accelerated more State Gross Domestic Product and employment generation. Work participation rates among districts show high disparity over time. To be very brief, two major challenges that state is confronting are ferocity and lackadaisical or imprudent policies, pursued by the subsequent governments that eroded our strengths and potential. There is dire need of permanent agreement for the resolution of conflict between India and Pakistan so that peace full environment will be created once for all and all economic sectors will be encouraged rapidly. The state must make a radical shift in its policies especially in the education sector in order to remove its impediments so that we can give birth to capable workforce. Actually, the remedy lies in revamping the education sector by crafting appropriate policies for appropriate skills in line with the socioeconomic requirements of the society. This chapter in nutshell makes a thoughtful effort to understand some important issues. This gains significance as it attempts to reflect the change in trend and pattern of workforce in quick glance. The cursory problems and important suggestions for employment generation by author for improving the system have been highlighted and summarized in this chapter. This chapter makes the assessment of the book in short form.

The Epilogue explores the potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the role of medical doctors in health policy. The pandemic has become part of the distal context, potentially triggering sudden policy shifts and more radical healthcare reforms. The key challenges for governments and healthcare systems will be to organise the ‘post-pandemic’ period to allow for a thoughtful process of analysis and understanding drawing from the lessons learnt. Key avenues of reform are likely to consist of restructuring the long-term care sector, redefining on a medium- and long-term horizon the contribution of public health and the role of primary care in a modern PFHS. This should also involve a greater recognition of healthcare professionals working in this area. The institution of professions, and more specifically the institution of medical politics, will be at the heart of this potential shift in policy making and the implementation process.

COVID-19 has brought about dramatic changes in every sector of human civilization, the education system in particular. Right from KG (kindergarten) to PG (post-graduation) and beyond, students of all age groups are affected by the pandemic. While primary school students are completely denied of basic education, secondary and high school students are also seriously affected. Education online is not available to all the students throughout the length and breadth of the country due to the serious digital divide situation in the country. Teachers are also not well trained to teach online. In this situation, there is a need to make innovative decisions to change the teaching pattern and save the children from loss of academic year and also prevent the teachers from losing their livelihoods. With the initiative of government and other funding agencies, novel methods of teaching and learning online need to be quickly and effectively adapted throughout the country.

Supply chain operations by means of manual systems are no longer economical. Though manufacturing sector organizations require supply chain systems in place to react to such events which will reduce the impact and quickly recover, the experience of service organizations, particularly hospitals and healthcare organizations, assumes crucial importance in the current context of the COVID pandemic. Kohinoor Hospital (KH) has become a leading multi-specialty tertiary care hospital since its commencement of services in January 2010. Data had been gathered for analysis from the primary sources/information provided by KH. The study of major crisis management like COVID-19 and resilience path is significant to formulate novel and innovative responses as part of competitive strategies to the hospitals and related to the healthcare sector. This study is highly relevant to researchers, industry practitioners/sector consultants, and policy makers in government.

Abstract An understanding of fuel-air mixing, along with the link between turbulent fluid flows and soot production is vital for the design of an efficient, low emissions gas turbine combustor. This paper uses a Lagrangian statistical method to investigate the time histories of mixing hence and soot development for massless parcels tracked within an LES calculation. This provides the advantage of investigating soot development using an inexpensive post-processing technique. The method comprises tracking massless parcels through the flow and recording the local temperature and composition at the parcel location, as well as the age of the parcel. This can be used to give statistical information about various aspects of mixing and soot production, such as distributions of mixture fraction or residence times. The history for each parcel can then be used in a postprocessing step to predict the soot development in time for that parcel path. This has been used to compare Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of reacting flows in both a laboratory aero-engine model combustor and a geometry representative of an annular sector from an aircraft engine combustor. It was found, that when normalized by a reference time scale based on combustor length and bulk velocity, the residence times for the annular sector were considerably shorter and mixture fraction distributions wider. This was due to a much higher chance of parcels being recirculated within the primary zone of the laboratory combustor. Further analysis of the annular combustor sector showed that very different mixing is found between the oxidation ports on the centre of the sector compared to those at the edge. The instantaneous mixing is seen to be less effective for those ports at the edge of the sector and this leads to higher soot levels in these regions.

Full textAbstract:
Repair by welding of a metallic component may be required during original fabrication, following in-service inspection or during planned maintenance operations. In some instances a post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is required. Codes/standards that cover the repair of or alterations on nuclear components, such as Section XI of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel code or the French RSE-M nuclear code for in-service inspection, include provisions for waiving the need for a PWHT by using a welding technique referred to as ‘temper bead’, but in the case of in-service repairs, the practical challenges may make any heating cycles, including pre or post-heating, undesirable. So, starting from the existing temper bead procedures, repair solutions that do not require preheat, PWHT or post-heating, have been developed, particularly in the nuclear sector, referred to as ‘ambient temperature temper bead’ (ATTB). One of the most common applications of the ATTB technique is the deposition of full structural weld overlays (FSWOLs), made with Ni-based consumables on ferritic base materials, to repair piping components and nozzles susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) and to mitigate the risk of further cracking. The ATTB technique is currently permitted for the repair of nuclear power plant components by the ASME code via Code Cases N-638-8 and N-740-2, provided the machine gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process is used, and it has been successfully applied on various occasions. However, the technique is currently not permitted by the RSE-M code. As the current rules in the RSE-M codes were established following experimental programs based on implant testing, the same type of tests would be expected by the French nuclear regulator to justify any changes. This paper presents the results of a research project carried out to explore the possibility of justifying the introduction of ATTB using the machine GTAW welding process to deposit austenitic weld overlays into the RSE-M code, based on implant testing. Externally loaded tests according to ISO 17642-3 (Implant test) were carried out to determine the effect of different preheat and stress levels on the cold cracking susceptibility in the parent metal. Test loads representative of actual residual stresses were determined through a review of published literature on the residual stresses associated with ATTB FSWOLs. Test pieces were obtained by depositing single beads with Inconel 52 filler metal (AWS A5.14 ERNiCrFe-7) on ASME SA 508 Grade 4N substrate. Conclusions are presented with regard to the possibility to waive preheat or to reduce the minimum preheat temperature specified for temper bead repairs, with respect to the current RSE-M code requirements. Recommendations for further work required to support a request for modification of the RSE-M code are provided.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper reviews the recently concluded successful application of a Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) system on a High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) well with Narrow Mud Weight Window (NMWW) in the UK sector in the Central North Sea. Well-A was drilled with the Constant Bottom Hole Pressure (CBHP) version of MPD with a mud weight statically underbalanced and dynamically close to formation pore pressure. Whilst drilling the 12-1/2" section of the well with statically under-balanced mud weight, to minimize the overbalance across the open hole, an influx was detected by the MPD system as a result of drilling into a pressure ramp. The MPD system allowed surface back pressure to be applied and the primary barrier of the well re-established, resulting in a minimal influx volume of 0.06 m3 and the ability to circulate the influx out by keeping the Stand Pipe Pressure (SPP) constant while adjusting Surface Back Pressure (SBP) through the MPD chokes in less than 4 hours with a single circulation. After reaching the 12-1/2" section TD, only ~0.025sg (175 psi) Equivalent Mud Weight (EMW) window was available to displace the well and pull out of hole (POOH) the bottom hole assembly (BHA) therefore, 3 × LCM pills of different concentrations were pumped and squeezed into the formation with SBP to enhance the NMWW to 0.035sg EMW (245 psi) deemed necessary to kill the well and retrieve BHA. MPD allowed efficient cement squeeze operations to be performed in order to cement the fractured/weak zones which sufficiently strengthened the well bore to continue drilling. A series of Dynamic Pore Pressure and Formation Integrity Tests (DPPT and DFIT) were performed to evaluate the formation strength post remedial work and to define the updated MMW. Despite the challenges, the MPD system enabled the delivery of a conventionally un-drillable well to target depth (TD) without any unplanned increase/decrease in mud weight or any costly contingency architecture operations, whilst decreasing the amount of NPT (Non Productive Time) and ILT (Invisible Lost Time) incurred. This paper discusses the planning, design, and execution of MPD operations on the Infill Well-A, the results achieved, and lessons learned that recommend using the technology both as an enabler and performance enhancer.

Full textAbstract:
The paper is devoted to the current issue of 2020 on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry in general, Azerbaijan in particular, and overcoming this crisis, taking into account the main aspects and goals of sustainable development. The primary purpose of the article is to form recommendations for compliance with the goals of sustainable development in the tourism industry of Azerbaijan with the levelling of events caused by the influence of COVID-19. A review of the scientific literature concluded that the issue of tourism marketing in crisis conditions is always complicated and multifaceted. The development of the tourism sector is a positive change for the host countries, which helps to solve problems in other areas of the economy. During the preparation of the material, a marketing survey of Azerbaijani citizens was conducted to study the potential impact of COVID-19 on the tourism industry. The analytical method of the article analyzes the goals of sustainable development, announced following the Resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 25, and which become most relevant in the context of 2020 and are a challenge for modern society and Azerbaijan in particular. As a result of this study, recommendations were made to restart the tourism sector in Azerbaijan, given compliance with and implementation of sustainable development goals. The results of this study can be useful for the governing institutions of Azerbaijan and other countries in which the tourism industry has developed dynamically and rapidly over the past few years.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract To accelerate commercialization of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), the U.S. Department of Energy is building on decades of characterization efforts and pilot-scale projects through their CarbonSAFE program. Administered through their National Energy Laboratory, this program seeks to bring fully integrated projects to the sector that can store more than 50 million tonnes of CO2 over a 30 year period. The program, enacted prior to the enhancement of Internal Revenue Code Section 45Q, is in the capture assessment, characterization, and permitting phase. The objectives of this paper are to discuss a) the injection permitting requirements of the CarbonSAFE projects; b) information gathering in support of the permit; c) the timelines of field development and permit-related activities; d) the major technical components of the field development plan; and e) early feedback from the regulators towards acceptance of the permit. In Mississippi, over 30,000 acres have been characterized by six deep characterization wells, a deep groundwater well, and more than 90 line-miles of 2D seismic as part of the CarbonSAFE Project ECO2S. A suite of openhole geophysical logs were taken from each well, allowing for detailed interpretation of prospective storage reservoirs and confining intervals to complement the analysis carried out on the 290 feet of whole core that was cut through the prospective confining zone and storage reservoir. The detailed geologic and reservoir data was assembled and input into a 3D model to assess injection capacity and the Area of Review (AoR). This information fed into the detailed corrective action, monitoring, testing, and Post Injection Site Care (PISC) modeling. The results have been exceptional. The geologic assessment has revealed three primary storage targets, ranging in depth from 3,500 to 6,000 ft. These storage reservoirs net 1,300 feet of sandstone, with mean porosity and permeability of 29% and 3.6 Darcies, respectively. Together, these reservoirs have storage capacities that may exceed 20 million tonnes per square mile, making this a gigatonne prospect. Forward modeling of the project resulted in an AoR of 17 sq miles, injecting about 8,000 tonnes per day, for 30 years, via two deep injection wells. The excellent confining characteristics of the caprock, relatively simple geologic structure, and lack of historical well drilling activity in this area provide excellent containment of the injected CO2. Based on this work, the Project has proposed 20 years of PISC. To date, only two U.S. CO2 injection permits have been granted. These projects relied on a singular capture point feeding a singular sequestration point (source to sink) and considerations have not been made to garner CO2 emissions from other industrial sources. The Kemper County Storage Complex is a first-of-its-kind storage hub concept that looks to develop an area capable of storing significant quantities of CO2 from the region. Also, this work will show how characterization efforts, geological and numerical modeling efforts, and plan development were constructed in support of permit and incentives acceptance.

Full textAbstract:
Blast induced neurotrauma (BINT), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are identified as the “signature injuries” of recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The occurrence of mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) in blasts is controversial in the medical and scientific communities because the manifesting symptoms occur without visible injuries. Whether the primary blast waves alone can cause TBI is still an open question, and this work is aimed to address this issue. We hypothesize that if a significant level of intracranial pressure (ICP) pulse occurs within the brain parenchyma when the head is subjected to pure primary blast, then blast induced TBI is likely to occur. In order to test this hypothesis, three post mortem human heads are subjected to simulated primary blast loading conditions of varying intensities (70 kPa, 140 kPa and 200 kPa) at the Trauma Mechanics Research Facility (TMRF), University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The specimens are placed inside the 711 mm × 711 mm square shock tube at a section where known profiles of incident primary blast (Friedlander waveform in this case) are obtained. These profiles correspond to specific field conditions (explosive strength and stand-off distance). The specimen is filled with a brain simulant prior to experiments. ICPs, surface pressures, and surface strains are measured at 11 different locations on each post mortem human head. A total of 27 experiments are included in the analysis. Experimental results show that significant levels of ICP occur throughout the brain simulant. The maximum peak ICP is measured at the coup site (nearest to the blast) and gradually decreases towards the countercoup site. When the incident blast intensity is increased, there is a statistically significant increase in the peak ICP and total impulse (p<0.05). Even after five decades of research, the brain injury threshold values for blunt impact cases are based on limited experiments and extensive numerical simulations; these are still evolving for sports-related concussion injuries. Ward in 1980 suggested that no brain injury will occur when the ICP<173 kPa, moderate to severe injury will occur when 173 kPa<ICP<235 kPa and severe injury will occur when ICP>235 kPa for blunt impacts. Based on these criteria, no injury will occur at incident blast overpressure level of 70 kPa, moderate to severe injuries will occur at 140 kPa and severe head injury will occur at the incident blast overpressure intensity of 200 kPa. However, more work is needed to confirm this finding since peak ICP alone may not be sufficient to predict the injury outcome.

Full textAbstract:
Developing Nations represents over 60 percentage of Globe. Economic growth of these nations linearly depends on combinations of market externalities, technological progress and gross value addition. Most of these nations were mere supplier of raw materials in the industrial era and still 70% of Nation’s population is dependent on primary sector for livelihood. This new wave of development, Circular Economy is said to create a value addition and trigger the prosperity of these nations by looping the production and supply chain mechanism. Research estimates that up to 85 per cent of opportunities to improve resource productivity lie in developing countries because of existing stage of economic growth. The portrayed illustrations of circular economy will manifest variant in developing nations. This paper focus on examining the applicability of circular economy, its dimensions and approaches for developing nations. The scale of applicability, market externalities, the bygone pillar of social dimension in sustainability etc, were discussed to provide a significant way forward for the concept to be more restorative and sustainable in the context of developing nations.

In 2022 29th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icone29-93082.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract The primary loop in nuclear power plants (NPPs) consists of piping and pressure vessel, which operate under a high level of pressure and temperature. During the long-term service, these sections need to have their integrity analyzed to check whether they might be prone to degradation, especially when exposed to radiation. In-service codes and standards such as the RSE-M and the ASME Section VIII enclose rules for the analysis of defects in piping systems. Although geometries for pipes are well-known and the fracture analyses methods are all today quite mature, it still takes an amount of time for structural engineers to rebuild models of different defects on piping section and the evaluation results varies with different modelling methods. Hence, this paper provides a proof-of-concept tool for fast fracture evaluation, specific to the brittle fracture induced by thermal fatigue and radiation in the primary loop. In this application, the procedure of finite element method (FEM) analysis and fracture-related criteria is well integrated, based on the open-source FEM code code_aster and multi-tool platform SALOME. It automates several steps of primary loop section simulation, including mesh generation, calculation file configuration, post-processing and reporting results. Furthermore, the verification and validation tests are built to ensure the robustness and reliability of the software and productivity.

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of the pedagogical search for the development of soft skills and self-control among students of agricultural sectors. The pedagogy of instrumentalism was chosen as a discursive basis and justification of the appropriateness of the application of project work technologies as an element of the development of self-awareness and self-determination in a dynamically developing post-industrial society. The experience of developing project activities at the university is compared with the practice of full-time education in the field of primary and general education. The case of organizing and conducting design and analytical sessions within the framework of the Agrofest-2019 festival was considered.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2002, Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization (JNES) has been carrying out seismic capacity tests for several types of equipment which significantly contribute to core damage frequency. The primary purpose of this study is to acquire the seismic capacity data of thin walled cylindrical liquid storage tanks in nuclear power plants and to establish an evaluation procedure of the ultimate strength. As for the refueling water storage tank and the condensate storage tank which are used in PWR plants, elephant-foot bulge (EFB) is the typical buckling behavior of those tanks and the primary failure mode to be focused on. In the previous study, by conducting the dynamic and static buckling tests with aluminum alloy, it was confirmed that static buckling test represents dynamic buckling and post-buckling behavior in terms of energy absorption capacity. In this study, static buckling tests with actual material were performed in order to evaluate the ultimate strength of real tanks. Although the buckling mode did not differ among materials, tests with actual materials (steel, stainless steel) resulted higher seismic capacity compared to the aluminum alloy, and inner water leakage occurred from the cracks initiated at the secondary buckling on the EFB section.

Full textAbstract:
The new elite in post-1991 independent Moldova gradually captured state institutions, while internal drivers of reforms have generally been weak. Civil society has had limited effectiveness; and the media is largely dominated by political and business circles (BTI, 2022). The Moldovan diaspora has emerged in recent years, however, as a powerful driver of reform. In addition, new political parties and politicians have in recent years focused on common social and economic problems, rather than exploiting identity and geopolitical cleavages. These two developments played a crucial role in the transformative changes in the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2020 and 2021, respectively.1 The new Moldovan leadership has experienced many challenges, however, in achieving justice and anti-corruption reforms—the primary components of their electoral platform—due to the persistence of rent-seeking and corruption in the justice sector (Minzarari, 2022). This rapid review examines literature—primarily academic and non-governmental organisation (NGO)-based—in relation to the political settlement of Moldova. It provides an overview of the political settlement framework and the political history of Moldova. It then draws on the literature to explore aspects of the social foundation and the power configuration in Moldova; and implications for governance and inclusive development. The report concludes with recommendations for government, domestic reformers, Moldovan society, and donors for improving inclusive governance and development in Moldova, identified throughout the literature. This report does not cover political settlement in relation to Transnistria.
