Cross-border infrastructure projects offer significant economic and social benefits for Asia. If the required investment of $8 trillion in pan-Asian connectivity was made in the region’s infrastructure during 2010–2020, the total net income gains for developing Asia could reach about $12.98 trillion (in 2008 US dollars) during 2010–2020 and beyond, of which more than $4.43 trillion would be gained during 2010–2020 and nearly $8.55 trillion after 2020 [1]. Infrastructure connectivity helps improve regional productivity and competitiveness by facilitating the movement of goods, services and human resources, producing economies of scale, promoting trade and foreign direct investments, creating new business opportunities, stimulating inclusive industrialization and narrowing development gaps between communities, countries or sub-regions. Nevertheless, due to limited financing, progress in the development of cross-border infrastructure in the region is low. The purpose of this paper is to examine the key challenges faced in financing cross-border projects and discuss the roles that different stakeholders—national governments, state-owned enterprises, private sector, regional entities, development financing institutions (DFIs), affected people and civil society organizations—can play in facilitating the development of cross-border infrastructure in the region. In particular, this paper highlights the major risks that deter private sector investments and FDIs and proposes that more attention should be paid to the sustainability-linked measures and adaption standards for the achievement of the multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) [2]. The integration of environment-social-governance (ESG) elements help establish an enabling environment where cross-border infrastructure projects are more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient. Recommendations are also provided based on the international examples to address the financing needs and risks when cross-border projects are undertaken.
跨境基础设施项目为亚洲带来了巨大的经济和社会效益。如果在2010-2020年期间对该地区的基础设施进行8万亿美元的泛亚洲互联互通投资,那么在2010-2020年及以后,亚洲发展中国家的总净收入将达到约12.98万亿美元(以2008年美元计),其中2010-2020年期间将获得超过4.43万亿美元,2020年之后将获得近8.55万亿美元[1]。基础设施互联互通有助于促进商品、服务和人力资源流动,产生规模经济,促进贸易和外国直接投资,创造新的商业机会,促进包容性工业化,缩小社区、国家和次区域之间的发展差距,从而提高地区生产力和竞争力。然而,由于资金有限,该地区跨境基础设施的发展进展缓慢。本文的目的是研究跨境项目融资面临的主要挑战,并讨论不同利益相关者——国家政府、国有企业、私营部门、区域实体、发展融资机构(dfi)、受影响人群和民间社会组织——在促进该地区跨境基础设施发展方面可以发挥的作用。本文特别强调了阻碍私营部门投资和外国直接投资的主要风险,并建议更多地关注与可持续性相关的措施和适应标准,以实现多项联合国可持续发展目标(SDG)[2]。环境-社会治理(ESG)要素的整合有助于建立一个有利的环境,使跨境基础设施项目更具包容性、可持续性和弹性。还根据国际范例提出建议,以解决跨境项目的融资需求和风险。

The objective was to apply a rapid and reliable method in quality and integrity control of probiotic-based products. For this purpose, various food grade ingredients and supplements, in pure or formulated forms, from European and American manufacturers, distributors, universities, and institutions coordinating microorganism collections have been analyzed. The method is based on the thermal profiling and fingerprinting of powder samples, using a coupling thermogravimetry - differential scanning calorimetry technique (TGA-DSC) under well-defined conditions. More than 100 monostrain and multistrain probiotics have been tested with this method, and each sample has shown a unique qualitative profile and significant different quantitative thermophysical data. This approach reveals not only the probiotic strain features but also those of molecular functional ingredients (e.g. cryoprotectors, antioxidants, etc.) added into the formulation (fingerprints, purity, water and volatile content, mineral compound amount, etc.). Moreover, the method is highly reproducible, sensitive, and adaptable to a high throughput analysis while requiring a small amount of sample. Besides the pure analytical aspects, it can also provide some relevant fundamental information such as the probiotic strain and product formulation thermostability.
目的是应用一种快速可靠的方法来控制益生菌产品的质量和完整性。为此目的,对来自欧洲和美国制造商、分销商、大学和协调微生物收集的机构的各种食品级成分和补充剂进行了纯的或配方的分析。该方法基于粉末样品的热分析和指纹图谱,在明确的条件下使用热重-差示扫描量热法(TGA-DSC)耦合。用这种方法测试了100多种单菌种和多菌种益生菌,每个样品都显示出独特的定性特征和显著不同的定量热物理数据。该方法不仅揭示了益生菌菌株的特征,还揭示了制剂中添加的分子功能成分(如冷冻保护剂、抗氧化剂等)的特征(指纹图谱、纯度、水分和挥发物含量、矿物质含量等)。此外,该方法重复性高,灵敏度高,适用于高通量分析,同时需要少量样品。除了纯分析方面,它还可以提供一些相关的基础信息,如益生菌菌株和产品配方的热稳定性。

Aims and Objectives: To investigate the pattern of PCT elevation in sepsis.To see if PCT rises earlier in severe infections than other sepsis indicators. To see if PCT levels may be used to grade sepsis severity. To examine if the rise and fall of PCT levels has any bearing on prognosis.  Introduction: PCT is a very good biomarker of sepsis. PCT (Procalcitonin) is a new biomarker that is being utilised to diagnose and grade bacterial sepsis all over the world.PCT distinguishes between infectious and non-infectious disorders and aids in sepsis and septic shock prognosis. Materials and Methods: The study included 100 patients admitted to medical or surgical departments. The PCT was calculated, as well as other sepsis markers, and the results were compared. The severity of sepsis was graded based on clinical criteria as well as PCT levels. Observations: PCT values associated well with the degree of sepsis in the entire sample, with a median of 8.89 ng/ml. Normal PCT levels were detected in 24 patients, while very high PCT values were noted in 4 patients.PCT levels more than 7 ng/ml were linked to a higher risk of death. When compared to Gram positive sepsis, Gram negative sepsis showed higher PCT values. Consistently rising PCT readings suggested that sepsis severity was greater, as well as a high fatality rate in this class. Conclusions: PCT is a sepsis biomarker that can be detected early.In severe sepsis, PCT can be utilised as a prognostic indicator.PCT is an excellent measure for grading sepsis and other clinical characteristics.
目的:探讨脓毒症患者PCT升高的规律。看看PCT在严重感染中的上升是否比其他败血症指标更早。观察PCT水平是否可用于脓毒症严重程度分级。检查PCT水平的升降是否与预后有任何关系。PCT是一种非常好的脓毒症生物标志物。PCT(原降钙素)是一种新的生物标志物,在世界范围内被用于诊断和分级细菌性败血症。PCT区分感染性和非感染性疾病,有助于败血症和感染性休克的预后。材料与方法:本研究纳入100例内科或外科住院患者。计算PCT及其他脓毒症标志物,并对结果进行比较。脓毒症的严重程度根据临床标准和PCT水平进行分级。观察结果:PCT值与整个样本的脓毒症程度相关良好,中位数为8.89 ng/ml。24例患者PCT水平正常,4例患者PCT水平异常。PCT水平超过7纳克/毫升与更高的死亡风险有关。与革兰氏阳性脓毒症相比,革兰氏阴性脓毒症的PCT值更高。持续上升的PCT读数表明脓毒症的严重程度更大,以及这类患者的高死亡率。结论:PCT是一种可以早期发现的脓毒症生物标志物。在严重脓毒症中,PCT可作为预后指标。PCT是脓毒症分级和其他临床特征的极好方法。

Pub Date : 2021-08-24 DOI: 10.9734/bpi/nvst/v2/4088f
A. Egorkov
Lead is frequently accompanied by tin with extremely low content in lead glass, which was widely employed in medieval Russia, primarily during the pre-Mongolian period X-XIII cen., for the manufacture of artefacts, primarily bracelets. Tin is undoubtedly introduced into glass with lead, despite the fact that it is not a native impurity in lead ores.  The use of slag, mainly litharge with variable tin content from pewter alloying, is proposed for lead glass manufacture.Simultaneously, the question of whether slag production can meet the demand for lead glass fabrication remains unanswered.
铅通常与铅玻璃中含量极低的锡一起使用,铅玻璃在中世纪的俄罗斯被广泛使用,主要是在前蒙古时期的x - 13世纪。主要用于制造手工艺品,主要是手镯。锡无疑是和铅一起被引入玻璃的,尽管事实上它并不是铅矿中的天然杂质。提出利用白镴合金化过程中产生的变锡大渣生产铅玻璃。与此同时,废渣生产能否满足铅玻璃制造需求的问题仍未得到解答。

This research presents a very small incinerator combined with heating production (VICH). The objective of this study, a novel VICH system is designed, simulated, tested, and analyzed in terms of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD), energy, economic, environmental, and exergy (4E-CFD) analysis methods. The CFD assessment using three hot fluids—hot water, steam, and hot oil—the results implied that hot water was the best working fluid at an increased temperature of 116.57 °C for integration with an organic Rankine cycle (ORC). Moreover, the testing results implied that a refuse-derived fuel (RDF) at a low heating value of 16.62 MJ/kg could increase the hot water temperature to 111.18 °C, which was close to the CFD simulation result. The energy and exergy efficiencies were approximately 23.35% and 20.93%, respectively. A life cycle assessment (LCA) at a functional unit of 1 kgRDF-1 and a lifespan of 20 y found a climate change of 3.30E-03 kg CO2 eq, an ozone depletion of 1.52E-10 kg CFC-11 eq, a particulate matter formation of 8.36E-06 kg PM10 eq, a terrestrial acidification of 1.30E-05 kg SO2 eq, a freshwater eutrophication of 1.83E-06 kg P eq, a human toxicity of 1.81E-03 kg 1,4 DB eq, a terrestrial ecotoxicity of 2.25E-07 kg 1,4 DB eq, a freshwater ecotoxicity of 1.04E-04 kg 1,4 DB eq, a fossil depletion of 8.02E-04 kg oil eq, and a metal depletion of 6.69E-04 kg Fe eq. The LCA impacts were driven from 36.07% construction, 63.41% operations, 0.52% landfill decommissioning and 3.99% recycling. In the economic results, the levelized cost of the waste disposal combined heating process was approximately 0.006 USD/kgRDF.
本研究提出了一个非常小的焚烧炉结合加热生产(VICH)。基于计算流体力学(CFD)、能源、经济、环境和火用(4E-CFD)分析方法,设计、模拟、测试和分析了一种新型的VICH系统。采用热水、蒸汽和热油三种热流体进行CFD评价,结果表明,在温度为116.57℃时,热水是与有机朗肯循环(ORC)结合的最佳工质。此外,试验结果表明,在16.62 MJ/kg的低热值下,垃圾衍生燃料(RDF)可以将热水温度提高到111.18℃,这与CFD模拟结果接近。能源效率和火用效率分别约为23.35%和20.93%。生命周期评估(LCA)的功能单位1 kgRDF-1和寿命20 y发现气候变化为3.30 e 03公斤二氧化碳情商,1.52平台以及公斤CFC-11 eq的臭氧损耗,颗粒物形成8.36 e-06公斤PM10 eq,陆地酸化1.30 e-05公斤二氧化硫情商,淡水富营养化e-06公斤1.83 P情商,一个人类的毒性1.81 e 03公斤1,4 DB情商,陆地生态毒性2.25 e-07公斤1,4 DB情商,淡水生态毒性1.04 e-04公斤1,4 DB情商,化石消耗为8.02E-04 kg oil当量,金属消耗为6.69E-04 kg Fe当量。LCA影响来自36.07%的建设、63.41%的运营、0.52%的垃圾填埋场退役和3.99%的回收利用。在经济结果中,垃圾处理联合加热工艺的平准化成本约为0.006 USD/kgRDF。

The field of occupational health and safety presents a large variety of job opportunities for those who are interested in promoting workplace health and safety. Broadly speaking, occupational health and safety workers are responsible for maintaining a safe working environment. In the public sector, health and safety workers primarily enforce health and safety legislation, and in the private sector, they primarily focus on risk management, employee productivity, and reduction of liability. Occupational health and safety are a new medical field in our Arab region, compared to the major industrialized countries. With the tremendous industrial development here, we must keep pace with globalization with these services.
职业健康和安全领域为那些对促进工作场所健康和安全感兴趣的人提供了各种各样的工作机会。一般来说,职业健康和安全工作者有责任维持安全的工作环境。在公共部门,卫生和安全工作人员主要执行卫生和安全立法,在私营部门,他们主要侧重于风险管理、雇员生产力和减少责任。与主要工业化国家相比,职业健康和安全是我们阿拉伯区域一个新的医疗领域。随着这里工业的迅猛发展,我们必须用这些服务跟上全球化的步伐。

With the tremendous industrial development here, we must keep pace with globalization with these services.","PeriodicalId":192378,"journal":{"name":"New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 2","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131445907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organotin compounds are commonly used as biocides. Some derivatives of Tributyltin (IV) of salicylic acid have been synthesized in various molar ratios. Elemental analyses and various instrumental techniques were used to examine the synthesized products. The antibacterial properties of the synthesized derivatives were assessed using their Minimum Inhibitory Concentration values on both gram +ve (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram -ve (Staphylococcus epidermidis) bacteria (Escherichia coli). The synthesized compounds' antifungal investigations on Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans fungus were evaluated using their Minimum Inhibitory Concentration values. The discussion shows that the compounds so obtained were found stable at room temperature. These compounds outperformed the ligand in terms of antibacterial and antifungal activity.
有机锡化合物通常用作杀菌剂。以不同的摩尔比合成了水杨酸三丁基锡(IV)的衍生物。采用元素分析和各种仪器技术对合成产物进行了检验。通过对金黄色葡萄球菌(gram +ve)和表皮葡萄球菌(gram +ve)大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli)的最小抑菌浓度(Minimum Inhibitory Concentration)来评价合成的衍生物的抑菌性能。合成的化合物对黑曲霉和白色念珠菌的抑菌效果以最小抑菌浓度进行评价。讨论表明,所得到的化合物在室温下是稳定的。这些化合物在抗菌和抗真菌活性方面优于配体。

Radio Consumption and Perception 无线电消费和感知
Pub Date : 2021-08-24 DOI: 10.9734/bpi/nvst/v2/4125f
Yerodin L. Carrington
Radio Consumption and Perception is a research study probing the social and moral values conveyed to audiences through broadcast radio. The uses and gratifications theory provides insight into the exchange of information reciprocated through disc jockeys, and their viewership. This examination incorporates an ethnographic interview-style using the snowballing technique, of 15 core open-ended questions, for honest and casual answers from respondents in their environments. The researcher, Yerodin Carrington, has never seen nor met anyone of the personalities of the Ebro in the Morning show. There is no association with anyone employed at WHQT-FM, Emmis Communications, or the personalities of Ebro in the Morning. However, Yerodin Carrington found viewers enjoyed the messages disc jockeys conveyed on-air through segments, their form of expression in a relatable manner, and the clarification of press releases for the understanding of their viewership. Further research is suggested with room for negative feedback, a competitive source, and a whacking variety of radio listeners for precise findings will be needed.
广播消费与感知是一项探讨通过广播向听众传达的社会价值观和道德价值观的研究。使用和满足理论提供了通过唱片骑师和他们的观众交换信息的洞察力。这项调查采用了一种民族志访谈风格,使用滚雪球技术,有15个核心开放式问题,受访者在他们的环境中诚实和随意的回答。研究人员叶罗丁·卡灵顿(Yerodin Carrington)从未在《早间秀》中见过或见过埃布罗的任何一个人。与WHQT-FM, Emmis Communications或Ebro in the Morning的任何雇员都没有联系。然而,叶洛丁·卡灵顿发现,观众喜欢dj通过片段在直播中传达的信息,他们以一种相关的方式表达的形式,以及对新闻稿的澄清,以了解他们的观众。建议进行进一步的研究,为负面反馈留出空间,竞争来源,以及各种各样的无线电听众,以获得精确的发现。
