Structural Rehabilitation Work On The Viaduct Over The River Po On The A7 Motorway

The work consisted of the static and seismic retrofitting of the bridge over Po River, on northbound carriageway of highway A7, managed by Milano Serravalle Milano Tangenziali S.p.A. under concession of Italian ministry of transportation. The bridge, designed in the 1960s, is made of reinforced concrete, 800 m long, and consists of 11 identical spans, each with a length of about 69 m. The deck width is 18.4 m, of which 14 m is available for traffic.Over the years, the structure has undergone various strengthening and restoration works, of which the most important took place in 1992, when an integrative slab was built over the existing deck and an external cable pre-stressing system was installed for both the caissons and the buffer beams.The continuous inspections of the structure detected deterioration in various parts of the structure, as well as defects in the realization of the pre-stressing system, which has significantly lost its effectiveness.This article will describe the results of the in-depth investigations carried out on the viaduct, the design of the static and seismic interventions of retrofitting, to restore the structure to a level of complete adequacy to current regulations, and the methods of carrying out the works.

Millability of geosynthetic pavement interlayers

Due to the increasing use of geosynthetic pavement interlayers, such as geogrids, paving geocomposites, and paving mats in asphalt rehabilitation works, asphalt milling projects involving milling the geosynthetic layers will significantly increase in the upcoming years. Thus, it is essential to understand how the milling process of conventional asphalt layers differ from milling paving interlayers. An experimental field section was constructed at the Salvador International Airport (Brazil) with different geosynthetic sections. Results showed that all geosynthetic pavement interlayers were “millable”, but with certain differences in the milling efficiency, as well as in the physical characteristics of the RAPs.

Translation, cross cultural adaptation, and validation of Arabic version of Interview administered version of Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WORQ).

Accurate assessment tools for work rehabilitation are essential in healthcare settings. Adapting the Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WORQ) to Arabic-speaking populations ensures effective evaluation and intervention for individuals with work-related disabilities. To execute a cross-cultural adaptation of interview-administered version Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire -Arabic (WORQ-A) and assess the psychometric properties of WORQ-A in patients with musculoskeletal problems. WORQ is mainly intended to assess the work functioning of persons who are involved in vocational rehabilitation. Psychometric properties were scrutinized in the outpatient rehabilitation center. Test-retest reliability was examined with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach's alpha. The usability of WORQ-A was established in 46 patients with musculoskeletal problems. WORQ-A exhibited exceptional internal consistency (0.93) and a great test-retest reliability (0.87). Regarding usability, the ability to understand the questions and answer choices was established as good. Five percent of the participants encountered minor difficulties with certain words, while the majority found it quite straightforward to choose the correct answers. The WORQ-A is an effective, consistent, and very easy to administer questionnaire to assess the work-related functions assumed in our study context and the individualities of the sample.

Questionário de avaliação de barreiras no ambiente de trabalho: elaboração e análise da confiabilidade

ABSTRACT Workers’ functioning is related to the environmental conditions that influence their activities, favoring or hindering their fulfilment. The Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WORQ) was based on a core set of the Classification of Functioning (ICF) to assess workers. It has a validated Portuguese version for use with active Brazilian workers but it only assesses function body limitations, activities, and participation. This study developed a questionnaire to assess environmental barriers at work following the WORQ format and tested its reliability. This study reached a consensus (10 professionals and 11 workers) to choose environmental categories in the CIF core set that originated the WORQ to be integrated into the questionnaire. This research selected elements if at least 85% of participants reported it. Categories were transformed into questions. For reliability analysis, the questionnaire was applied to a random sample of 123 active workers at a public university in Brazil. The questionnaire had 20 questions based on the ICF core set for vocational rehabilitation and WORQ. This study evaluated its reliability, finding an r=0.855 (test-retest) and Cronbach’s alpha=0.936 (internal consistency). This study developed an ICF-based questionnaire to assess environmental barriers in the workplace. The analysis of psychometric characteristics showed strong test-retest reliability and the internal consistency of the instrument.

Different phases of rehabilitation (being in prison, leaving prison) were distinguished and labour force attachment prior to imprisonment spell were also discussed. Also, the article consists of a discussion section where conclusions and recommendations are presented. The indications for further research were also listed, one of which is to examine the real benefit of the work of convicts – whether it provides the possibility of subsistence. In the article, study results from various countries, and consequently, various judicial systems, are referred to.

A Study on Media Literacy Use in School-Age Children with Language Disorder

They should be provided with new means of communication that emerge with the changing times. They should be able to recognize the advantages of the features of different media so that they can use the media usefully. The author believes that the effective and appropriate use of media literacy for elementary school students with disabilities will result in a positive impact. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the actual level of media literacy among School-age language disorder with disabilities and explore ways to promote it in a therapeutic aspect. Of the 40 people, 4 who did not respond appropriately were excluded, resulting in 36 people. In order to find out the status of media literacy use by speech rehabilitation workers currently working in language clinical sites, an online survey using Google Docs and a paper questionnaire were administered to the subjects. For the purpose of the study, ‘A survey on the use of media literacy by school-age children with language disorder’, the purpose of this study, the direction of data use, and how to complete the questionnaire were explained. We investigated the status and status of media use among school-age children with language disorder. The media used by the target children for more than 3 hours were games, animation, and Youtube. Among media outlets, it can be seen that SNS usage time is less than 2hours. And it was found that the target children were using all media, including TV, Game, Animation, Youtube, SNS, Movie/Drama, and Internet portal search. School-age children with language disorder had excellent use skills related to media devices, such as searching task-related keywords, grasping various contents, and finding task information. On the other hand, the subjects showed a low ability to use online information to evaluate its rationality and fairness. Lastly, all of the target children had low scores on questions related to media production ability. In particular, by understanding the current status of school-age media literacy content, it will be possible to identify the advantages of the characteristics of various media and apply them usefully in treatment.

Восстановление нарушенных земель в горных экосистемах

Introduction. The growing volumes of extraction, processing and transportation of minerals in Russia and the world contribute to an increase in disturbed lands, which actualizes the development of new approaches and methods for reclamation work. However, a clear structure of methods for restoring disturbed lands has not yet been developed. Hence the purpose of the work: to explore the world experience in the implementation of traditional and innovative approaches to the reclamation of disturbed lands in order to identify the most promising trends for further research. Materials and methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study are the scientific works of Russian and foreign scientists in the field of earth sciences, geo-ecology, physical chemistry, geo-botany and microbiology. Methods of the work are general scientific methods, such as dialectical, historical, analysis, synthesis, comparison, grouping, as well as systematic and empirical approaches. Results and discussion. The study substantiates the identification of two approaches: traditional and innovative; the author’s structure of methods for biological stage of reclamation work has been developed. The traditional approach is characterized by standard, but less effective, labor-intensive, and therefore expensive, methods of reclamation by using a fertile soil layer and potentially fertile rocks with the sowing of perennial grasses, trees and shrubs. An innovative approach is on agenda today. It can significantly reduce the cost of reclamation procedures due to the use of modern technologies and materials for restoring soil fertility and decontaminating pollutants. The innovative approach includes basic methods: 1. Algae; 2. Washing; 3. Bioremediation; 4. Sorbent-oriented. The study offers to improve the term «disturbed lands» in the regulatory field of the Russian Federation in order to take into account, along with the anthropogenic and natural factors. The structure of the disturbed lands of Russia is revealed in the context of the extraction of various types of minerals. Conclusions and offers. The article presents the results of the analysis of the world methodological experience in biological stage of reclamation work. It has been established that both in Russia and abroad, work is underway to improve the biological stage of reclamation. Attention is focused on the method of bioremediation and its sub-method of phytoremediation with the sorbent-oriented method, the combination of which, according to the authors, is of the greatest practical interest. It is revealed that the tasks of using local types of raw materials for the creation of composite sorbents are topical. The authors consider the creation of composite sorbents based on peat, as the most common raw material in Russia, to be a promising direction.

Ensuring the protection of Abay region from the threat of mudflows

This article describes mudflows, a special category of hydrological threats that pose a threat to human life. Factors and types of mudflows are recorded. Mudflow hazard zones in the Abay region, conditions for mudflows, and natural factors contributing to mudflows are listed. It is characterized by the slope of the channel and the fact that, depending on the presence of channel deposits in it, the mass and speed of movement of the mudflow are subject to changes, and the mudflow is divided by the power of impact on the slope and the volume of the transported mass. An example of mudflows that occurred in Kazakhstan is given. Mudflow protection involves predicting the occurrence of mudflows and conducting special events. Therefore, the need for the construction of protective structures used in flood prevention, agroforestry and reclamation measures for special measures to protect against mudflows and special hydraulic structures is outlined. Such structures are designed to contain protected facilities with high mudflow emissions, to divert mudflow away from facilities, as well as to protect the facility from the impact of mudflow.The need to plan the terrain in the mudflow zone, install drains, divert surface and groundwater, carry out forest reclamation works and safety measures in areas with a risk of mudflows are outlined.

USING THE NDVI TO ANALYZE THE EFFICIENCYOF RECLAMATION WHEN ASSESSING THE CONDITION OF VEGETATION COVER ON DISTURBED LANDS

Land disturbance due to human economic activity can lead to serious deterioration of the vegetation cover or its destruction. Land reclamation is an important stage in their restoration. Assessment of the effectiveness of reclamation is based on an analysis of the state of the vegetation cover, and a key role in this process is played by the method of assessing vegetation using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI).In the course of the work, a comparative analysis of field and remote methods for monitoring vegetation cover was carried out to identify their advantages and disadvantages. The simplest, most accurate and less expensive method has been determined – determining the quality of vegetation cover using satellite images of the Earth.A vegetation method for assessing vegetation cover to analyze the implementation of reclamation work is proposed. The process of carrying out reclamation work in the event of severe contamination of the soil surface lasts for years and continues until the fertile soil layer is completely restored to a state suitable for its use in accordance with its intended purpose and permitted use.The NDVI is the most applicable in studying the vegetative capacity of plants, since it is the most sensitive to the concentration of chlorophyll in plant leaf tissues. The index is formed through spectral satellite images, which absorbs electromagnetic waves in the red spectrum and reflects in the near-infrared. The result is a complete spectral analysis, with which you can identify areas that need reseeding or additional fertilization. The index is moderately sensitive to climate and soil changes and may become saturated in densely vegetated environments.A study of satellite images was carried out to determine the NDVI. As an example, the object of study was taken – a land allotment site for the construction of a high-pressure water pipeline, located on the territory of the Sharansky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Maps of the distribution of the NDVI were compiled before construction (2020) and during reclamation (2021–2022). An analysis of the obtained data was carried out, the results of which revealed the possibility of reducing the restoration period from 3 years (according to the existing scheme) to 1 year.

Assessment of performance and environmental friendliness of a sorbent-based remediation method for heavy metal and metalloid contaminated soils

The contamination of natural ecosystems with heavy metals and metalloids (HMMs) primarily results from anthropogenic activities. Consequently, ongoing efforts are dedicated to the development of technologies aimed at restraining the mobility of HMMs and expediting chemical reactions that convert pollutants from mobile to immobile states. Addressing the reclamation issue always necessitates the selection of the most promising and effective type of reclamation work, as well as justification of land prioritization for reclamation purposes. In terms of performance and future potential, the sorbent-oriented approach, grounded in the concept of “green” utilization of man-made waste as a raw material for creating novel composite sorbents, is gaining traction for land reclamation in disturbed areas. In international practice, diverse environmental risk assessment methods are employed to substantiate the necessity for and prioritize reclamation efforts.The aim of the present study is to evaluate established conventional methods for assessing the risks associated with environmental harm. Additionally, this research aims to assess the efficacy and ecological compatibility of the composite sorbents developed by the author. This evaluation will be conducted by assessing and comparing the levels of potential environmental risks or risks of environmental damage subsequent to the application of these sorbents.The objectives of this study are as follows: 1) to explore the theoretical aspects of HMMs: including the formulation of a definition, investigation onto the origins of HMMs, examination of HMMs’ toxicity, and identification of prevalent methods for evaluating the environmental risks associated with HMMs; 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of established methods for assessing the environmental risks posed by HMMs; 3) to assess the efficacy and environmental sustainability of the composite sorbents developed by the author. This evaluation will involve an examination and comparison of the levels of potential environmental risks and the risks of environmental damage subsequent to the a pplication of these sorbents.The research subject: the mining allotment within the Levikhinskoye mine (classified as an environmental disaster site) is investigated as a disturbed land ecosystem, encompassing industrial waste dumps containing HMMs.The research hypothesis aims to establish the viability of “green” waste utilization from industrial sources as a raw material for composite sorbents used in land reclamation, without escalating the environmental damage. The conducted experiments revealed that sorbents composed of peat/water treatment sludge (at a ratio of 20/80 wt. % with natural moisture content) and peat/diatomite/water treatment sludge (at a ratio of 5/15/80 wt. % with natural moisture content) exhibited the highest level of performance, surpassing an overall efficiency of 89%. A sorbent composed of peat/diatomite (at a ratio of 25/75 wt. % with natural moisture content) demonstrated an overall efficiency of 67.7%. The estimated environmental risks (ER and ED) after the application of the proprietary composite sorbents, which include water treatment sludge, exhibited an average reduction of 89.5% and 88%, respectively.

Assessing Work Functioning in Patients with Persistent Low Back Pain: Exploring the Structural Validity of the Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire

PurposeAssessing work functioning in patients with persistent low back pain (LBP) is important for understanding their ability to engage in work-related activities. This study aims to evaluate the item characteristics, factor structure, and internal consistency of the Work Rehabilitation Questionnaire (WORQ) in patients with persistent LBP.MethodsFour hundred and twenty-five individuals with LBP completed the WORQ. Item characteristics, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and consistency were performed to identify the underlying factors.ResultsMissing responses were < 2% for each item. The analysis revealed three factors: psychological wellbeing, physical functioning, and cognitive ability. The factors demonstrated strong internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging from 0.88 to 0.93 and McDonald’s Omega from 0.92 to 0.96. Fifteen items did not fit into any identified factors, suggesting their potential value in screening functioning levels beyond the factors.ConclusionsThe WORQ is a valid instrument for evaluating work limitations in individuals with persistent LBP. Further research should assess its responsiveness to changes from interventions that target workability. Advancing this knowledge has the potential to promote work rehabilitation and improve the quality of life for patients with persistent LBP.

Leveraging monitoring, evaluation, and learning to scale the Enabling Inclusion® program for children with disabilities in India and globally.

Children with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries face many challenges and lack adequate services, including access to rehabilitation professionals. To address this lack of access, Amar Seva Sangam Ayikudy (ASSA), a non-governmental organization (NGO) in India, designed a technology-leveraged rehabilitation program called Enabling Inclusion® (EI®), and implemented it in one state (Tamil Nadu, India) before scaling it. The model is supported by the EI® app, which enables organizations to screen, assess and monitor progress of children with disabilities via rehabilitation specialists and community rehabilitation workers, and to provide family-centered, goal-based interventions. An extensive monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework is embedded into the program. This paper explores how this MEL system supported the scaling of the EI® model, reaching additional beneficiaries nationally and globally. This paper describes ASSA's MEL framework and demonstrates its use for decision-making in the process of scaling. It also explores how collaborations with various government departments, NGOs, and private partners contributed to the scaling of the EI® model and technology. Scaling of the EI® program was achieved by (1) expansion of the program in rural Tamil Nadu (vertical scale-up) in partnership with the Tamil Nadu government and private partners, and (2) by licensing the EI® app and model to other NGOs in various states in India and globally (horizontal scale-up). Systematic examination of key program and performance indicators, as well as stakeholder feedback, informed decisions to modify the EI® app over time. This included further customizing to the needs of children and service providers, covering a greater range of age groups and contexts, and modifying service delivery models. Child functional independence, participation, and inclusion was further strengthened by mobilizing parent empowerment groups, community awareness programs, school advocacy, and entitlements from the government. Flexibility in the implementation model of the EI® app allowed for adaptation to local contexts and organizations, and facilitated its scale-up. A dynamic, inclusive, and locally grounded MEL system, a flexible and collaborative approach, and an adaptive implementation model increased the accessibility of an early intervention and childhood rehabilitation program for children with disabilities and their families throughout the state of Tamil Nadu, across India, and internationally.

Seamless integration of sewer system topology and tree location data: An algorithm to diagnose the potential impact of tree roots on pipes and propose rearrangement solutions

Wastewater networks are subject to several threats leading to wastewater leakages and public health hazards. External elements such as natural factors and human activities are common causes of wastewater leakages and require more in-depth analysis. Prevention and rehabilitation work is essential to secure wastewater networks and avoid pipe failures. This work presents a new algorithm that allows for the seamless integration of sewer topology and tree location data to diagnose the potential impact of tree roots on pipes. The algorithm also proposes tree rearrangement options that balance the cost of tree rearrangement with the cost of pipe repair. The paper also showcases a real-world case study in the city of Girona to evaluate the performance of the presented algorithms for a specific case focusing on tree roots as a natural factor. Results show that it is possible to optimally rearrange a number of the trees with the greatest impact, significantly minimizing pipe failures and wastewater leakages (82% risk reduction with only rearranging a 12% of the most impactful trees). The rearrangement solution not only protects the environment and prevents public health hazards, but also achieves a positive economic payback during the operational period of the pipes, saving up to 1.33M€ for a tree rearrangement of 7%. The presented methodology is applicable to other natural or human factors.

I giorni dell’alluvione in Romagna. Riflessioni tra storia e orografia del territorio

The flood that hit Romagna on 16 May was an environmental disaster without precedent, in terms of gravity and scale, in national history. The article explores a chronicle of those days, attempting to provide a historical perspective, in an area that is largely the result of reclamation works, built with the labour of farm workers and resting on a precarious balance that must be protected.

Safety of a historical Dam in Romania

The safety of dams in Romania follows the current engineering trend and is governed by The Dam Safety Law, issued in 2001. A special concern refers to historical dams, where two cumulative contributing factors are endangering the safety - ageing and modifications in the catchment area that bring alterations in flood formation and flood characteristic values. To illustrate the specific problems, the paper presents a case hystory. The dam is one of the oldest storage reservoirs in Romania (Tăul Mare Dam), still operational, built prior to the 18th century in the Metaliferi Mountains in central Transylvania for the gold mines, where a relative minor incident has created a lot of concerns regarding the structure’s safety. Thorough investigations have revealed an intense degradation due to ageing and lack of proper maintenance. The proposed rehabilitation works consist in refurbishing the bottom outlet gallery and repairing and strengthening of the downstream face of the dam.

Good practices of post mining land rehabilitation works in the southern region of East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Open-pit/cut/cast mining is a method of extracting coal directly from the surface using a series of level benches to reach the deposit close to the surface overlain by relatively thin vegetation, topsoil, and rocks. During the year of 2010 - 2017 PT Kideco Jaya Agung (KJA) has rehabilitated post mining land 1.379,54 ha in area. The objective of this study was to examine practices of degraded land rehabilitation works and understand good practices of post mining land rehabilitation at minedout forest lands. A number of 750 plots (25mx40m) were established in 2022 to evaluate practices of land arrangement, soil erosion and sedimentation control, and land revegetation works. Rehabilitation activities that have been going well based on established plan were: waste dump arrangement, topsoil spreading, cover crops planting, plant growth rate, number of plant per-Ha, and plant health. However, rehabilitation works that still require improvement were slope stabilization, number and benefits of soil and water conservation infrastructures, excessive soil eronsion, and the composition of long life and fast growing plant species. The evaluation score of post mining rehabilitation works was 22,5 for land arrangement, 17,5 for soil erosion and sedimentation control, and 48 for land revegetation respectively with the total score 87,5. The total score indicates that forest rehabilitation works has been carried out properly based on good practices of coal mining principles.

Improving Energy Efficiency in a Building Using Passive Energy-Saving Measures

Abstract We are going through a time when environmental, economic and social concerns, intensely amplified by climate change, by the depletion of resources, are growing. In this context, setting targets such as reducing energy consumption in the buildings sector, energy efficiency, and the use of renewable energies are becoming a priority, both at national and international level. Improving the energy efficiency of the existing building stock is important, not only for achieving national medium-term energy efficiency targets, but also for meeting the long-term objectives of the strategy on climate change and the transition to a competitive low-carbon economy by 2050 (https://energy.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2014-11/2014_article4_ro_romania_0.pdf). Currently, the building is considered as a structure in a continuous evolution, which in time through maintenance, rehabilitation and modernization works will meet the requirements expressed by the user. The case study presented in the paper presents an analysis from the point of view of improving the energy efficiency, reducing the energy requirement in a building using passive energy-saving measures, that is, the additional thermal insulation of an element of the building envelope. The materials selected for this research are: expanded polystyrene, basaltic mineral wool and cellulose fibres.

Improvement of modern machine technologies for the care of cereal crops

The development of agricultural reclamation is primarily focused on solving the problem of food security by ensuring the sustainable and innovative development of agriculture and the effective assimilation of agricultural soils and natural resources using complex reclamation measures that depend on the introduction of new, resource-saving technologies and technical means of reclamation works. The most energy-intensive process in the entire technological cycle of caring for grain crops is soil processing, on which 50-60% of fuel is spent on average. The most energy-intensive process in the entire technological cycle of caring for grain crops is soil processing, on which 50-60% of fuel is spent on average Raising the care of cereal crops by 30-60% is achieved as a result of the intensification of mechanized work. The use of modern technical means in the restoration and construction of the country's reclamation systems is incredible without knowing their operating indicators, the main characteristics and parameters of the car; Water resources on the territory of Georgia are unevenly distributed: 1.34 million m3/km2 per year for western Georgia and 0.37 million m3/km2 for Eastern Georgia. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange irrigation systems in the eastern and southern regions of the country, and in the west - drainage systems. Therefore, the paper proposes two-rotor channel machines imported into Georgia, which allow the withdrawal of open channels to a depth of up to 1.45 m, which is used mainly for drainage and irrigation. The parameters of the working body of the rotary channel plugs, the determination of engine power and the hatching of the base car are calculated.

Comprehensive Physical Work Capacity Evaluations for Korean Farmers Assessed in Healthy Volunteers.

To establish the lower limits of normative values of the physical work capacity for Korean farmers in healthy working individual. We developed a comprehensive set of physical work capacity evaluation items that encompass common farming tasks. These items include measurements of trunk flexion/extension angles, strength (hand grip, trunk flexion/extension, leg/back lifting, and pushing/pulling), and positional tolerances. We calculated the normative values for the items and defined the normal range in 124 healthy volunteers aged 20-79 years. We calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) to validate the test-retest reliability of the measurements protocol. The normal values for each measurement item were as follows: trunk flexion and extension angle (65.3°±11.6° and 29.6°±6.6°), dominant hand grip strength (32.2±10.5 kgf), trunk flexion and extension strength (288.4±119.0 N and 297.3±129.9 N), leg and back lifting strength (452.9±233.5 N and 349.2±166.7 N), pushing and pulling strength (214.7±75.1 N and 221.7±63.3 N), and positional tolerance time (squat: 76.8±9.0 seconds, front: 73.8±7.7 seconds, twist: 82.2±8.8 seconds, upward: 71.9±11.3 seconds). Regarding test-retest reliability, all strength measurements demonstrated excellent absolute agreement (ICC, 0.91-0.96). However, positional tolerance showed poor-to-moderate absolute agreement (ICC, 0.37-0.58). We conducted measurements of muscle strength and positional tolerance in healthy participants of various ages, focusing on tasks commonly performed by Korean farmers. The outcomes hold significant value as they offer a pertinent instrument for assessing the appropriateness of workers, thereby carrying implications for rehabilitation objectives, legal evaluations, and work capacity assessments within the agricultural domain.
