Distinct Element Method Analyses for Damage Assessment: The Northern Spur of Valverde Bulwark in the Venetian Fortress of Bergamo

ABSTRACT The 16th century Venetian Fortress, with more than 70,000 m2 of masonry wall facing, characterises the city landscape of Bergamo. Almost intact and well preserved, the defensive system was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2017. Today, the first causes of its deterioration are the vegetation growth and the lack of maintenance, which have led to instabilities and local failures, particularly in the northwest portion. Thus, in 2019 and 2020, survey campaigns were carried out to assess the safety of one of the most damaged sections, the Valverde bulwark. The survey combines on-site observations, laboratory tests, and photogrammetric and laser scanner surveys to describe the bulwark. Numerical simulations have been performed using a distinct element approach, i.e. assimilating the masonry to a system of discrete bodies consisting of blocks (usually rigid) interacting on their interfaces. A routine dedicated to defining a real-like geometrical model has been developed. The numerical analyses were run to assess the conditions of the Valverde bulwark under self-weight and earth pressure and considering seismic load. Through the detailed survey and its automatic digitisation, it is possible to fully recognise and analyse the state of health of these historic structures and their mechanical behaviour.

How Professional and Market Logics and the Conflict between Institutional Demands Affect Hospital Accreditation Compliance: A Multiple-Case Study in Brazil.

Hospital accreditation has become ubiquitous in developing countries. While research acknowledges that accreditation can enhance healthcare quality, efficiency, and safety, concerns persist regarding hospitals' management of conflicts stemming from the diverse institutional logic inherent in this process. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how professional and market logic, alongside conflicts arising from institutional demands, affect compliance with hospital accreditation. To this end, we conducted a multiple-case study in four Brazilian hospitals employing in-depth interviews and on-site observations. The triangulation of narrative analysis and the outcomes of multiple correspondence analysis revealed that when professional logic predominates, there is a greater propensity to tailor accredited activities by segmenting the tasks between physicians and nurses with the intention of mitigating existing conflicts. Conversely, when conflicts occur over established goals between professionals and orientated marked logic executives, the accreditation process is impeded, resulting in non-compliance. Ultimately, the findings underscore the alignment between the pursuit of legitimacy and efficiency within the accreditation process. We conclude by delineating the theoretical and practical implications of scrutinizing the internal dynamics of institutional logic.

Skill the low-skilled: the knowledge-driven stepwise migration of Vietnamese workers in South China

This article investigates the interplay between knowledge acquisition and the stepwise migration trajectories of low-skilled Vietnamese workers in China. Utilizing a rich array of data garnered from face-to-face interviews, customized surveys, on-site observations, media narratives, and an archival review of government regulations in Guangxi—a province bordering Vietnam—and in Guangdong, a non-adjacent province, this study proposes an analytical framework, skill-driven migration, to highlight the synergy between the pre-migratory socio-demographic attributes of migrants and the circumstances prevailing in both the places of origin and destination which orchestrates distinct job allocations and skill augmentation avenues. Notably, our study underscores that the competencies acquired in manufacturing employments potentially broaden the horizon of destinations for migrants in their subsequent stepwise migration endeavors. This phenomenon, in turn, poses intricate immigration management quandaries for newly emerged destination nations like China, spotlighting a nuanced dimension of labor mobility and policy frameworks in the evolving regional economic integration. Last, our findings challenge the conventional dichotomy of high-skilled and low-skilled categories of labor migration, as well as the dichotomy of explicit-tacit knowledge.

Hydrological control of the surging behaviour of the Ghujerab River Head Glacier, Karakoram (2019–2023): Insights from high-temporal-resolution remote sensing monitoring

Study regionThe northern region of the Karakoram Range. Study focusKarakoram is a region in High Mountain Asia with many surge-type glaciers. This study employed over 200 high-temporal-resolution remote sensing images and investigated the variations in elevation and velocity of the Ghujerab River Head Glacier (GRHG) from 2019 to 2023. Furthermore, we elucidated the potential controlling mechanisms. New hydrological insights for the regionOur findings revealed that the GRHG, akin to typical surge-type glaciers in Karakoram, started to surge in the spring and finished surging in the summer, with a duration of less than two years. Throughout the surging process, the glacier transferred a mass of 0.11±0.003 km³ from the reservoir area to the receiving area, resulting in a thickening of 91.59±1.04 m at the glacier terminus and thinning of 11.78±1.04 m in the upper glacier. By analysing the mass balance and glacier surface albedo during surging, we proposed that climatic disturbances in the glacier region provided essential material inputs for the surge. Additionally, based on the seasonal evolution pattern of glacier flow velocity, we inferred a close correlation between surging and variations in subglacial hydrology. The duration of acceleration and deceleration during glacier surging, as well as a comparison with existing studies, further support our conclusion. Future research integrating multi-source remote sensing and onsite observations can support numerical simulations to quantitatively reveal the key processes occurring beneath and within glaciers during surge events.

Optimizing Nurse Workflow Efficiency: An Examination of Nurse Walking Behavior and Space Accessibility in Medical Surgical Units.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of spatial adjacencies on nurses' walking patterns and the subsequent impact on staff satisfaction with perceived accessibility and adjacency-related issues. Recognizing the crucial importance of spatial adjacencies in healthcare facilities is essential, as they significantly affect staff morale, fatigue management, operational efficiency, error reduction, and overall patient care excellence, highlighting the need for objective assessments to evaluate the impact of facility layout and space configuration on workflow patterns and staff satisfaction in patient care units. Integrating on-site observations with survey data, we explored how spatial adjacencies affect staff walking behavior and satisfaction in two med-surgical unit floors.

Inverse Analysis of Strata in Seepage Field Based on Regularization Method and Geostatistics Theory

During the construction of underground engineering, the prediction of groundwater distribution and rock body permeability is essential for evaluating the safety of the project and guiding subsequent design and construction. This article proposes an objective function that solves an underdetermined inverse analysis problem based on the least-squares theory and regularization method and uses geostatistics theory and the variogram function to describe the spatial characteristics of the actual engineering system. It also establishes an optimization model of the analysis stratum seepage field and puts forward the method of using on-site test observation data to solve the stratum penetration coefficient. Relying on the foundation pit project of the Lingshanwei Station of Qingdao Metro, the on-site pumping and packer permeability test was conducted for different strata venues in the foundation pit, and the on-site water-head observation value was obtained. Physical detection of the influence area of foundation pit excavation confirms the correctness of the model from the region and verifies the accuracy of the model on the value through the on-site pumping test. Results show that the accuracy of the use of this objective function to solve the underdetermined inverse problem is above 85%, which proves the effectiveness of the method. The stratigraphic geological information obtained by the inverse analysis model provides an important basis for engineering design and security construction.

Productive and Reproductive Performance of Indigenous Milch Cows under Different Herd Structure of Gaushalas

Background: The present investigation was carried out to study the “productive and reproductive performance” of Indigenous Milch Cows reared under Gaushalas. This study describes productive and reproductive performance of milch cows through onsite observation and interviews with structured questionnaires of 30 (no.) Gaushalas randomly selected from 10 districts of Haryana. Methods: The total 30 Gaushala in 10 districts of Haryana were studied, which were rearing more than 34,279 indigenous cows (mostly Hariana and Sahiwal cow). These Gaushalas were divided into three categories based on the total number of animals present in Gaushalas as small (100-500 animals), medium (501-1000 animals) and large size Gaushalas ( greater than 1000 animals). To assess the productive performance of the milch cows, milk yield per day (MY/D), lactation length (LL) and lactation yield (LY) were utilized as indicator traits. In addition, age at first calving (AFC), service period (SP), number of services per conception (NSPC) and calving interval (CI) were considered as an indicator of the reproductive performance traits. Result: It was observed that the average milk yield per day and lactation yield in large size gaushala were significantly (P less than 0.05) higher than the medium size Gaushalas and small size Gaushalas. Large Gaushalas had a significantly higher lactation length (P less than 0.05) than small size Gaushala. The average service period, number of services per conception and calving interval in large size Gaushalas were significantly (P less than 0.05) lower as compared to small size Gaushalas. From the above finding, it could be concluded that the productive and reproductive performance were better in large size Gaushalas.

Secondly, the study suggested establishing supportive information platforms dedicated to wood-related knowledge. Lastly, it emphasized the importance of raising public awareness in preserving wooden built heritage.

A Dynamic Prediction Framework for Urban Public Space Vitality: From Hypothesis to Algorithm and Verification

Predicting and assessing the vitality of public urban spaces is crucial for effective urban design, aiming to prevent issues such as “ghost streets” and minimize resource wastage. However, existing assessment methods often lack temporal dynamics or heavily rely on historical big data, limiting their ability to accurately predict outcomes for unbuilt projects. To address these challenges, this study integrates previous methodologies with observations of crowd characteristics in public spaces. It introduces the crowd-frequency hypothesis and develops an algorithm to establish a time-dimensional urban vitality dynamic prediction model. Through a case study of the Rundle Mall neighborhood in Adelaide, Australia, the effectiveness of the prediction model was validated using on-site observation sampling and comparative verification. The prediction model framework allows for the determination of urban vitality within specific time ranges by directly inputting basic information, providing valuable support to urban planners and government officials during the design and decision-making processes. It offers a cost-effective approach to achieve sustainable urban vitality construction. Furthermore, machine learning techniques, specifically the decision tree model, were applied to case data to develop a set of preliminary algorithm tools, which enable output of reference urban vitality levels (high-medium-low).

Evaluation of rock stability challenges affecting the formation of sustainable pit lake towards mine closure following crown pillar extraction in open pit-underground mines

The extraction of high-grade ore from the crown pillar (CP) in open pit-underground mines poses stability challenges and potential environmental risks. While an open pit has the potential to transition into a pit lake, the extraction of CP can induce failure in the surrounding walls, preventing the formation of the lake. There is also a concern that the backfilling material may not effectively confine toxic water within the pit, thereby risking contamination of the underground environment. To address these issues, a case study was conducted using FLAC3D and 3DEC models to evaluate the extent of failure caused by CP extraction. On-site observation, along with modelling, has revealed rock damage, including deformation stretching about 4 m from the pit wall and extending vertically from the pit floor to the ramp. The study identified three primary factors leading to pit wall failure or damage: steep pit slopes reaching approximately 70° near the pit floor, an underestimated CP thickness by about 4 m, and the concurrent extraction of ore from the pit wall alongside CP. Based on these findings, rehabilitation measures are suggested, including excavation of the deformed wall and cantilever, as well as partial pit backfilling. There is a substantial increase in the volume of backfill material as the extent of failure increases, which raise concerns about the decision-making process regarding CP extraction. Therefore, this article aims to raise environmental awareness and evaluate whether the benefits of ore extraction outweigh the considerations for pit wall support and the rehabilitation efforts during mine closure.
