SWIMMING AS A LEISURE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING THE 2020-2021 PANDEMIC COVID-19 IN CLUJ-NAPOCA

Introduction The Covid-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the global community, leading to restrictive measures in all areas of activity, including sports. Starting with March 2020, most physical activities have ceased, due to the establishment of the state of emergency in Romania. Swimmers were restricted from accessing their main training facilities and were no longer allowed access to the pools. After a more sedentary period, in which each of us tried to adapt to the existing situation, the need to be involved in sports, the need for movement, and the need for socialization was growing. Thus, the instructors tried to find out alternatives to continue athletes training, so they do not completely lose their physical fitness. Some managed to continue their training in the water, at other pools, others organized workouts outside the pool, maintaining their physical condition at an optimal level. In fewer cases, coaches continued training with athletes online. The purpose of this study was to discover the training strategies applied by swimming coaches during the pandemic, during the State of emergency and the Alert state, in Cluj-Napoca. The results of our study can be used, in the future, by students, teachers and instructors to better reorganize their physical activities, especially swimming, when a special situation arises again.

Trends of potential waterborne diseases at different health facilities in Bamboutos Division, West Region, Cameroon: a retrospective appraisal of routine data from 2013 to 2017.

Many Cameroonian cities lack access to potable drinking water where populations rely on alternative water sources of doubtful quality. This study aimed at describing the trends and patterns of waterborne diseases (WBDs) reported in some health facilities in Bamboutos Division between 2013 and 2017 as baseline data towards understanding the profile of WBDs in this area. A retrospective review of clinical data kept on patients who visited the main health facilities in Bamboutos Division from January 2013 to December 2017 was conducted. Overall, 39.1% (n = 8,124) of total patients were positive for at least one WBD. Categories of WBDs were dysenteries (18.6%), gastroenteritis (4.2%), viral hepatitis (0.2%) and typhoid was the most preponderant (24.4%). The most affected age groups were those above 24 years but significant differences were observed only in 2013 and 2017. Distribution of potential WBDs was locality dependent. The highest prevalence of typhoid fever was recorded in Bameboro (35.4%), dysenteries in Bamedjinda (20.4%) and gastroenteritis (17.3%) in Bamekoumbou. The study shows very high overall prevalence of WBDs in some localities which could be considered as 'hotspots' of WBDs in Bamboutos. This suggests the urgent need for setting up measures to tackle the challenges of potable drinking water supply.

Prinsip Perencanaan dan Kriteria Pengendalian Pengembangan Fasilitas Rest-Area pada Jalan Tol di Indonesia

Stopovers and relaxing facilities are important in intercity travel on toll roads. Long distances travel times in toll roads increase the supply and demand of these facilities in Indonesia. Not only the needs for refueling and resting, but also new support facilities demanded in rest area are often found, such as shopping, restaurant, worship place, and others. This phenomenon has attracted many investors to establish rest area with those complex facilities in term of business profit. To prevent negative impact of development and to protect main function of toll roads, this paper will discuss the planning and development control principles of rest areas located on toll roads in Indonesia. Analysis of components and criteria for rest areas on toll roads are generated by analyzing problems occurred. Site location, site area, accessibility, and main facilities specification are absolute factors, while zoning, circulation, road signage, and site utilities are conditional factors. The planning principles is to guarantee safety, security, and convenience of all activities in and around rest area and toll road. This research describes several criteria and components that should be controlled in order to achieve rest area planning principles that determined by qualitative methods.

CERN : Experimental facilities in Latin America

These lecture notes briefly describe the current and planned experimental facilities for high-energy physics research in Latin America. The list is not exhaustive nor the descriptions are complete, but I tried to select some of the most representative facilities and large international experiments at the time. Given that particle physics today is tightly related to cosmology and astrophysics, and South America is where most of the major astronomical observatories in the world are located, I start by listing some of the representative observatories. Then we move on to the main accelerator facilities, which are few and mainly for applications, but the core of particle physics research infrastructure in Latin America is in astroparticle physics, which is where I take most of the time to describe. The name and location of each infrastructure are listed, the scientific goals and some introductory description of the detecting techniques. Specific details are not included, which can be found in the literature.

메가이벤트 사후대책에 관한 정책담론경쟁 분석 : 2018 평창동계올림픽을 사례로

This study aimed at analyzing the discursive struggle about the post mega-event policy by focusing on the post-measure for the Jeongseon Alpine Center, one of main event facilities constructed in Gariwang mountain, for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. The Center caused the controversy of environment destruction, and was built under the condition that the Center would be demolished and the natural environment would be completely restored. However, after the Olympics, the policy discursive struggle persisted between the pros that insisted on the full restoration of the natural environment, and the opposition. Policy decision has not been made yet. The literature review covered the concepts of mega-event, policy discourse, discursive struggle, discourse analysis and the related research. For the analysis, two dimensional analytical approach of Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis was applied: text analysis and discourse practice analysis. Frame analysis was conducted on policy discourses according to the topic areas of discourses, which were environmental frame, economic frame, sociocultural frame, and political frame. The findings of the study revealed the characteristics of the policy discourses and that of discursive struggle of post-mega event policy. The pros actively formed policy discourses in environmental frame, and the opposition actively formed policy discourses in economic frame and sociocultural frame. In conclusion, this study suggested that more analyses of discursive struggles shoud be applied in tourism research, and practically policy actors should develop the discursive competitiveness in the diversity of discourse frames.

체육시설 공공데이터 품질관리 방안

This study analyzed the data quality of "2020 National Public Sports Facilities Status" for public sports facilities gyms, which are the main facilities of the central government''s supply policy for sports facilities, and derived measures to improve public data management of sports facilities. First, most of the errors in public sports facilities gyms were errors in the data classification system of living and ball gyms. This is due to the fact that the classification standards of living and ball gyms are not clear. Therefore, the criteria for classification according to the gym specifications should be clearly presented. Second, it is urgent to establish a database through computerization. The SFMS of the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation can be used to ensure accuracy of the current status of facilities rather than existing data. In addition, the omission of the National Sports Center, which was caused by the management of the dualization of the gym data, will also be solved.

CHANGE IN THE HYDROGEOCHEMICAL FIELD OF THE U<sub>1</sub> HORIZON OF THE VERKH-TARSKOYE OIL FIELD IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT

The results of a comprehensive analysis of geological and field information are presented in order to assess changes in the hydrogeochemical field of the oil reservoir of the U horizon of the Verkh-Tarskoye oil field during its development in the period from 1994 to 2021. The main production facility is at the IV stage of declining production. The water cut of the production wells stock reaches 98% with cumulative production of 14.86 million tons (as of May 1, 2021). Since 2015, there has been an increase in the TDS of produced water, which is explained by the processes of their mixing with circuit waters along the periphery of the reservoir with a decrease in reservoir pressure and more saline waters of the U horizon, supplied during joint operation.

Real‐world treatment patterns of patients with atopic dermatitis in Japan: Analysis of the JMDC Claims Database

AbstractObjectivesThis study was conducted to assess changes in the real‐world treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) in Japan.MethodsPatients from the JMDC Claims Database with ≥1 confirmed diagnosis of AD, an identifiable medical care start date for AD, and ≥2 AD–related treatments on separate dates between January 1, 2005, and May 31, 2019, were included; data were analyzed on a yearly basis.ResultsIn total, 411,102 patients were included. The average age of patients increased from 12.0 to 18.8 years between 2005 and 2017. In any given year, the prevalence of AD was highest in patients aged <2 years and lowest in patients aged ≥50 years. Dermatology (65.1%‐69.5% from 2005 to 2017) and clinics (92.3%‐93.4%) were the main department and medical facility, respectively, providing daily medical care for AD. The proportion of patients who were given the thymus and activation‐regulated chemokine test increased from 2008 to 2017 (0.03%‐3.5%). From 2005 to 2017, the proportion of patients who received moisturizer (68.8%‐79.1%), topical calcineurin inhibitors (8.2%‐17.8%), very strong topical corticosteroids (26.0%‐40.6%), strongest topical corticosteroids (3.5%‐7.8%), cyclosporine (0.01%‐0.3%), or phototherapy (0.06%‐1.8%) increased, and the proportion of patients who received topical non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (12.0%‐3.1%) decreased. Annual costs for medication associated with AD per person/visit increased between 2005 and 2017; however, the ratio of medication to total cost did not.ConclusionsThe results of this analysis show that Japanese patients used increasingly potent treatments for AD, and overall AD‐related medication costs increased between 2005 and 2017.

Simulation and experimental study on vibration and acoustic characteristics of a continuous supported embedded track

With urban rail transit developing fast, there is an increasing demand for riding comfort and reduction of vibration and noise. Metro being the main public transportation facility of urban rail transit in China, faces more severe challenges. Metro tracks use a range of different vibration isolating ballasted track structures. Environmental vibration along metro lines is controlled by using so-called vibration isolating track structures. In doing so, many problems arise in the train-track system of metro lines, such as strong vibration and excessive wear of wheel/rail systems, causing vibration fatigue and noise. Embedded track is used as an option to reduce vibration and noise, usually applied for tramways. When applied to metro lines, embedded track faces challenge due to high speed, large axle load and more complex line conditions. When applied to metro lines, the acoustic characteristics of embedded track need to be re-evaluated. These characteristics were investigated through a combined method of simulation and experiment. In this study, the wheel and track acoustic radiation of the embedded track designed for metro is predicted firstly. Then the tests of vibration and acoustic of the embedded track are carried out to verify the accuracy of the model on the one hand, and compare with the common fastener track to obtain more aspects of vibration and noise on the other hand. This study can provide a basis for the application of embedded track in metro systems.

About the development of a method for remote determination of the underground pipeline insulation coating condition

Corrosion protection of underground steel pipelines is carried out by means of electrochemical protection and insulation coatings. During the operation of pipelines, under the effect of various external factors, the insulation properties of coatings decrease over time, which leads to an increase in the operating modes of electrochemical protection means. Operating organizations need to monitor the condition of the coating of underground pipelines, to predict the protection against corrosion and to plan repair work. Using the remote corrosion monitoring systems made it possible to obtain a mathematical model of the electrochemical protection system against corrosion of the object, which allowed to determine the true impact of cathodic current sources on the protective potential control points, excluding the impact of related and external power sources. Knowing the effect of the source on the protective potentials on the section, accordingly, it can accordingly be assumed that it is possible to identify patterns between the amount of change in this affect and the condition of the insulation coating on the section. A method for determining the integral condition the insulation coating is proposed, with the possibility of remote implementation on the basis of remote corrosion monitoring equipment, for which the pipeline model was tested in the laboratory. Testing of the developed method on a real gas main transport facility showed its practical applicability, as well as sufficient accuracy for engineering tasks, in determining the indicators of the insulation coating condition.

Kanigoro is one of the districts in Blitar Regency, located in the center of Blitar Regency and near to the Blitar City causing the development to improve faster, including in Modern Store business. To determine the area suitability for establishing a Modern Store, an analysis is needed. Geographic Information System is applied to determine the business opportunities for each village in the Kanigoro District. The research uses scoring method, provides a score for each parameter criteria to analyze the level of suitability and to determine a Modern Store location. The parameters used include population density, types of land use, access to main roads, bank or ATM facilities, distance to Traditional Markets or other Modern Store. The data of parameters are then processed, overlaid, and scored. Map is produced to illustrate the level of potential suitability for the location of the establishment of a Modern Store, with a value of 1-3 every 100 m x 100 m. Based on this final result, it can be concluded that the region with a high level of suitability is found in Kanigoro Village. This is in line with the Village Development Index in Kanigoro Village that has a category of Hierarchy I. The correlation between Village Development Index and the total area with a high level of suitability per village is 0.927 (very strong linear correlation). While the correlation between the index and the total area with a low level of suitability per village was -0.261 (weak linear correlation).

The Effect of Stress Distribution Around The Decline Shaft on The Support System Stability in Underground Mining

The decline shaft is one of the main facilities in an underground mining work that is used as access to the mining panel from the surface. Making decline shafts on materials with weak characteristics is one of the important geotechnical issues that must be considered. The initial stage of making decline shaft holes is carried out on a relatively shallow ground surface or soil depth so that the horizontal stress that works is greater than the vertical stress. This excavation process will change the direction and magnitude of the initial stress from being in an equilibrium state to being disturbed. In addition to the stress on the rock mass, the condition of weak soil strength will affect the behavior and distribution of stresses working around the decline shaft hole. If the stress around the decline shaft exceeds the strength of the rock, there will be instability in the decline shaft so that strength is needed to control the existing stress.

The utilization rate of the length of the pier and port pond exceeds the optimal limit of the installed capacity, then the utilization rate of the depth of the pier waters, ice factory, air blast freezer, and cold storage is not optimal.

Continuing conflicts in cultural development: a review of the conflict history surrounding the Asia Culture Center

ABSTRACT Based on longitudinal research that began in 2008, this study examines the history of the conflicts surrounding the development of the Asia Culture Center (ACC) in Gwangju, Korea, through documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews. The ACC is a main facility of the Hub City of Asian Culture project, a large cultural investment in Korea. Although the ACC began with the ambition to be a cultural window into Asia, it has encountered several conflicts during the development process. This paper investigates the landmark debate, the heritage site preservation controversy, and the centre’s lack of leadership. It identifies that the project must appreciate the unique local circumstances, including the 5·18 Gwangju Democratisation Movement, to better understand the discussions and arguments around its heritage and the ACC. It also highlights the need for proper communication among stakeholders, who have fundamentally different expectations of the ACC due to their different interests.

The duration of labor activity of workers in the production of phthalic anhydride and the imbalance of cellular immunity indicators

Introduction. The phthalic anhydride, which widely used in chemical industry in conditions of chronic ingestion, chronically leads to a disadaptation of immunity, which is a risk factor in the formation of associated production related pathology. The aim of the work is to study the subpopulation profile of lymphocytes and cytokine status in workers engaged in the production of phthalic anhydride with their work experience. Materials and methods. The observation group, totally 68 men, consisted of employees working at the main phthalic anhydride production facility. The workers of the observation group were divided into two subgroups with their work experience at the enterprise: 44 persons with 0 to 10 years of work experience and 24 persons with more than 10 years of work experience. The comparison group - 40 men who had no professional contact with harmful production factors. The chemical-analytical, cytofluorimetric, immunoenzyme methods use during the study. Results. The workers being exposed to phthalic anhydride with up to 10 and more than 10 years of work experience at the enterprise have a phthalic acid content in their blood that is 2.3 and 3.3 times higher, respectively than related to persons who are not in contact with the analyzed harmful production factor (p=0.002-0.033). It was found that longtime workers, engaged in the production of phthalic anhydride, manifested the immune response cellular link dysfunction. Workers employed in the main production of phthalic anhydride with more than 10 years of work experience revealed a prevalence of activation processes (according to CD25+ criterion), inhibition of cytotoxic cell-mediated response (according to CD3+CD16+CD56+ criterion), gyperexpression of Th2-cytokines (according to criterion IL4) relative to values obtained from workers of the production with less than 10 years of work experience in hazardous production conditions (p=0.002-0.033). Conclusions. The duration of employment of the workers, contacting with excessive concentrations of phthalic anhydride in workplace air, contributes to negative dynamics in the imbalance between T-cells and cytokine products. The dynamic monitoring of immunoregulatory indicators in workers occupied in the production of phthalic anhydride will contribute to just-in-time revealing of the immune system violations in order to reduce the risks of formation of associated production-related pathology induced by the chemical production factors.

RFID Tracking Implementation for Supplier Chain Management at Toyota USA: Proposal of Development of Advanced TPS for Global Production Strategy

In order to achieve simultaneous, worldwide high quality assurance and other global production developments, Advanced TPS was proposed as a global production technology and management model, especially designed to realize high productivity and cost performance in global production. On this model, the inventory management is the key method at any manufacturing facility operating with Just-in-Time (JIT). On the other hand, the current inventory systems at manufacturing facilities do not provide real inventory data. So out-of-stock conditions sometimes have caused major productivity losses by causing the production line to stop. Therefore, the authors have proposed to create component inventory tool, which RFID tag can be replaced onto the containers with the trial parts and thus both the supplier and main manufacturing facility. This tool could provide constant feedback to ordering, logistics, and assembly conveyance groups in order to maintain and improve current JIT system. Concretely, this can also provide current information on components being shipped by the supplier and list what items are available in the production area by part number and supplier. The effectiveness of this proposal has been verified into Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas (TMMTX), which is unique for onsite supplier locations. This has been proven that RFID can prove to be an efficient tool with which to track inventory and generate cost savings.
