Abstract:

Electrodeposition was used to rehabilitate cracked reinforced concrete both in the laboratory and under field conditions. First the chloride-induced specimens were cracked by applying a bending load, then the samples were immersed in a zinc sulfate solution, and a constant current was applied between the reinforcing steel and the external electrode. The results obtained in the laboratory showed that electrodeposition effectively repaired cracks in the concrete specimen; therefore, field investigations were performed on a 35-year old structure that had been damaged by corrosion to assess the feasibility of using this technique in field conditions. The field results indicate that the electro deposits formed on the concrete surface closed the cracks in the concrete. In addition, the application of electro deposition had beneficial effects on the electrochemical property of the reinforcing steel in concrete.Key words: electrodeposition, constant current, reinforcing steel, electrode, cracks, electrochemical property.

Abstract:

The article addresses the issues of the investigator’s liability in deciding on the acquittal of the defendant to whom he or she has been charged and the criminal case was sent to the court with the indictment. The view is maintained that the investigator’s responsibility can only occur if the fact of bringing a knowingly innocent person to criminal responsibility is proved with the investigator playing an active role in the fabrication of criminal case materials. When a person is prosecuted on the basis of an assessment of the totality of the available evidence, which at the hearing did not find confirmation for various reasons, prosecuting an investigator seems unacceptable. The investigator investigates the crime in the context of a pronounced opposition to the investigation process from interested parties, the evidence base is created in the specified conditions, before the criminal case is sent to the court, participants in the process are exposed to various forms in order to obtain the necessary evidence from them. A change in the evidence system may be related to counteracting the investigation process, in this situation it is unacceptable for the investigator to be held accountable for unjustified criminal prosecution.

Abstract:

The problem of the right to rehabilitation and compensation to a person who was illegally and unreasonably prosecuted, illegally convicted is relevant to the science of criminal procedural law, law enforcement practice. At the same time, the current Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine does not provide rules that would contain the basic provisions of rehabilitation. As a result of the study, the concept of physical harm is formulated as a violation of the anatomical integrity or physiological function of organs or tissues, which manifests itself in bodily injury, disease, pathological condition, disability and is a consequence of illegal and unjustified criminal prosecution, illegal restraint, detention, unlawful conviction, torture, physical, mental violence, falsification of evidence. The definition of rehabilitation is defined as the procedure established by law for the recognition of a person’s innocence in committing a crime, restoration of his/her violated rights and freedoms. It is also defined compensation at the expense of the state in full physical, property, moral damage caused to a person by illegal and unjustified criminal prosecution, illegal conviction, and unjust trial on the application of coercive measures of a medical or educational nature. A comparative analysis of the legal regulation of rehabilitation in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the CIS countries shows that the national legislation of most states provides a mechanism for effective protection of the individual from illegal and unjustified criminal prosecution, illegal conviction. To improve the current criminal procedure legislation of Ukraine, we proposed to supplement the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine with the chapter “Rehabilitation”. In the provisions of this chapter, there is a need to set out the concept of rehabilitation, conditions and procedural grounds for recognizing the human right to rehabilitation; subjects of rehabilitation legal relations; grounds for partial rehabilitation in preliminary and judicial proceedings. In addition, the chapter should contain the procedural order of rehabilitation in a situation of forced self-incrimination, falsification of evidence; the procedure for restoring the violated rights and freedoms of the rehabilitated person. As well as the concept of physical harm and the procedure for its compensation; determination of property, moral damage caused to the rehabilitated; legal mechanism for compensation of property damage; elimination of the consequences of moral damage to the rehabilitated and its compensation.

Abstract:

Compared to modern buildings, historical real estate features features that give them a special status: the architectural style of the epoch, the old materials or the built-in building methods, the high rehabilitation costs or the legal restrictions on their intervention. Therefore, in evaluating a historical real estate property, evaluators need to undertake additional, sometimes atypical, steps compared to assessing a modern property. Assessing a historical real estate property by cost has particularities that distinguish it from the assessment of a modern building.

Abstract:

In the whole debate of ecological suitability of Tehri Dam, the rehabilitation aspect has been found ignored. Keeping in view of the significance of complete rehabilitation and resettlement of the oustees, the overall rehabilitation process including rural and urban population is analysed in the present paper. In total, 125 villages will be fully or partially submerged affecting more than one lakh population. More than twenty thousand urban populations will also be rehabilitated. It is expected that around 6000 cores of rupees (at 1993 price level) will be spent. Out of which 13% will be spent on the rehabilitation of the oustees. On the basis of the available information, it is found that only 33% of the rural families and 66% of the urban households have actually received the compensation or taken the possession of the land in the new sites. Non availability of land to the rest of the oustee households has been identified as the peculiar dimension of the rehabilitation process. The resettled households in Dehradun and Haridwar districts are facing the problem of geographic continuity, land owner shiprights and absence of institutional mechanism like panchayati raj institutions in the new settlements. The absence of non-farm employment and non-accessibility to the common property resources are the critical problems, including the availability of drinking water, irrigation, primary health and education, which can be observed seen in the rehabilitation sites. The resettlers are unable to adjust with the new environment including a high level of dependency on the market forces for each and every requirement. The partially submerged population is also facing peculiar problems. They will only be given cash compensation without any other compensatory measures. The ‘upstream cost and down stream benefits syndrome’ is strikingly visible in the rehabilitation process. In the urban resettlement process various issues Iike-the validity of survey, classification of urban households and cut off dates are relevant to mention. The positive externalities of the old Tehri town were completely missing in the new urban rehabilitation site. As a whole it can be tentatively said that the process of rehabilitation has been loosely coordinated and badly implemented. The issues of upstream cost, accessibility to common property resources and customary rights are the neglected aspects in the process. The re-organisation of the institutional frame work and granting land ownership rights to the resettlers and quality of the basic amenities are the other inevitable requirements need proper assessment and implementation. The present process of rehabilitation is largely non-participatory and non transparent, which can only be solved through radical measures. These measures are unlikely to be initiated in the present set of Tehri dam administration.

Abstract:

To solve the problem of the time-delay, nonlinear and time-variable characteristics of hip-joint rehabilitation training device driven by pneumatic muscle actuator, an implicit generalized predictive controller was designed based on parameter model in this paper. It was applied to the isokinetic continuous passive motion control of the hip-joint rehabilitation training device. Experimental results proved that the controller has the property of high control accuracy, anti-disturbance capability and excellent adaptive abilities for the changes of system model parameters, compared with PID controller. This control method provides the beneficial reference for improving the control performance of such system.

Abstract:

The article discusses the issue of the legal nature of the right to compensate harm, the effectiveness of usage of the criminal procedure mechanism for its protection and the reasonableness of the inclusion of relevant in the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.Based on the analysis of judicial practice, it is concluded that the courts have difficulties in determining the appropriate way to protect the right to compensate harm caused in the course of criminal proceedings and the delineation of competence between arbitration courts and courts of general jurisdiction, which leads to a violation of the applicants’ right to access to justice and reduces the effectiveness of judicial protection.In addition, it is concluded that the criminal procedure form is not adapted to the consideration of civil disputes on compensation for harm, the author names the impossibility of collecting lost profits as one of the factors that reduce the effectiveness of the use of the criminal procedural mechanism for protecting property rights.Based on the interpretation of the criminal procedure rules provided in the article, the author concludes that legal entities have an opportunity to use criminal procedure remedies for violated property rights in more cases than individuals, which violates the principle of equality before the law and the court. The article provides ways to solve the identified problems.

Abstract:

A human-robot coexisting system requires the essential function such as safety and flexibility which are not common in general industrial robots. To build up such a robot system, an inherently flexible actuator must be effectively used rather than a conventional rigid actuator. A pneumatic actuator seems just available as such a human friendly actuator. In this paper, a property of the flexibility of pneumatic actuator is analyzed compared with a DC electric motor. Also the application of a pneumatic rubber artificial muscle actuator to a rehabilitation robot is discussed. The results show that a pneumatic actuator can well work as one of human friendly actuators with cooperation of a proper control strategy.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to determine the key factors affecting the occurrence of insufficiency of debtors’ property in modern conditions, as well as to formulate the main directions of overcoming them. The methodological basis of the research was the dialectical method of scientific knowledge, general scientific (analysis, synthesis, modeling), and special scientific methods (formal and legal, statistical). The result of the work was the formulation and substantiation of tasks, the setting of which is necessary for further scientific research aimed at increasing the number of satisfied creditors’ claims. In addition, the authors identified the elements of the legislatively enshrined bankruptcy mechanism, which require changes to resolve the indicated problem. In particular, the measures proposed by the authors will make it possible to increase the degree of filling the bankruptcy estate by modernizing the procedure for selling the debtor’s property, stimulating a more active position of the arbitration administrator to challenge the debtor’s transactions, and bringing his controlling persons to subsidiary liability. The novelty of the work lies in the identification of key factors influencing in modern conditions the appearance of signs of insolvency, the quality, and quantity of debtors’ assets, the insufficiency of their bankruptcy estate. Among them, objective economic reasons, imperfection of bankruptcy legislation, dishonesty of key participants in legal relations related to bankruptcy (debtor, bankruptcy administrator, majority creditors), unwillingness to use the institution of bankruptcy rehabilitation mechanisms, and the epidemiological situation are highlighted.

Abstract:

In an effort to achieve increased cocoa production in Nigeria, a number of initiatives were introduced towards increasing yields with the aim of reviving the old glory of cocoa and make it an engine of Nigerian economy. Despite this, farmers still produce below expected cocoa production figure due to conditions associated with their farmland. Tenure insecurity hindered acceptability of the established initiatives since majority of the farmers in the cocoa industries areholding the farmland in possession through different arrangements which provide the legal and normative framework within which all agricultural as well as other economic activities are conducted. On this note, this study aims to investigate the effects of tenure arrangement on adoptionof CRTs. Result shows that respondents were mostly males, Christians, members of CFAN with mean age of 59.0+10.18 with average household size of 8 people, cultivating an average farm size of 17.38 acres, obtained mostly through different tenural patterns and scattered in different locations.Findings further reveals that age, membership to CFAN and tenure arrangement had significant relationship with adoption of cocoa rehabilitation techniques. And also, there was significant, difference in the perception, as well as adoption of selective tree replanting, planting under old cocoa trees, chupon regeneration, coppicing, gapping up between tenant farmers and farm owners at p=0.05. Cocoa industry is mostly populated with tenant farmers who had unfavourable perception about cocoa rehabilitation resulting in low adoption rate due to challenge of insecurity of tenure.Thus, there is need for development of technological packages that meet the need of different categories of farmers based on their respective tenure. Also there is the need for securing land-use rights through improved tenancy arrangements to better meet the interests of small, tenant.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use exchange rate theory to compare how white-collar offenders and property offenders rank the severity of various correctional sanctions. Design/methodology/approach The authors use survey data from 160 inmates incarcerated for white-collar and property crimes in a Midwestern state to compare how white-collar inmates differed from property inmates in ranking the goals of prison and the punitiveness of prison as compared to other alternatives. Findings White-collar offenders were no different than property offenders in terms of their assessment of the punitiveness of prison compared to the punitiveness of the four sanctions under consideration here. White-collar offenders were significantly more likely than property offenders to believe that the goal of prison is to rehabilitate rather than deter individuals from further crime. Research limitations/implications Because the authors defined white-collar offenders by their crime of incarceration, they may have captured offenders who are not truly white-collar offenders. Focusing on offenders who were in prison did not allow them to fully examine whether similarities between white-collar and property offenders can be attributed to adjustment to prison or some other variable. Practical implications Alternative sanctions may be useful in punishing white-collar offenders in a less expensive manner than prison. Results suggest white-collar offenders may be more amenable to rehabilitation than property offenders and may not experience prison much differently than other types of offenders. Originality value This research is important because it is the first of its kind to compare white-collar offenders’ views about the punitiveness of prison and the goals of incarceration with those of property offenders.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper explores the part that the redistribution of evacuee property—the property abandoned by departing Hindus and Sikhs during the mass migrations after Partition—played in the institutionalization of corruption in Pakistan. By drawing on hitherto unexplored sources, including Pakistan's Rehabilitation Department papers, local police files and court records, it highlights the schemes of illegal appropriation, misappropriation, and paints a wholly convincing portrait of the scramble for millions of rupees worth of abandoned property in the towns and countryside of West Punjab. It shows how politicians, bureaucrats, powerful local notables and enterprising refugee groups grabbed properties, mainly by bribing officers charged with allocating them to incoming refugees, or by utilizing their personal contacts. The paper argues that the fierce competition for resources and temptations for evacuee property encouraged the emergence of a ‘corruption’ discourse which not only contributed to an atmosphere that was detrimental to democratic consolidation in the early years of Pakistan's history, but also justified later military intervention. This not only adds to the empirical knowledge of Partition and its legacies, but also makes a significant contribution towards our understanding of the transitional state in Pakistan.

Abstract:

vThe 4R principle refers to reduce, reuse, recycle and regeneration, which should be implemented in the process of concrete treatment. In terms of the special micro-structural properties and self-repairing capacity, concrete is one kind of regenerative construction materials. Through proper handlings, self-repairing (crack close-up) of concrete cracks is possible in the concrete hydration damaged region. Due to the effect of heterogeneous nucleation and subsequent crystal growth of calcium hydroxide, a better bonding strength forms interlocking the new and old concrete interfaces. A proposal on the relationship between the self-repairing, regeneration function of concrete and the rehabilitation of historic buildings is suggested, this is based on the formed process of the bonding strength of the interfaces and the function on concrete repairing. Besides the constitution and features of the microstructure of concrete, the relationship between the micro-structure and the macro-mechanical property is also investigated in this paper

Abstract:

In this paper, we are dealing with the heat-technical modeling, life cycle assessment and the conservation of the vernacular adobe wall house. One of our investigations is directed to the seasonal equalizing property of this wall structure. The reason of this choice of this topic can be found in the fact, that in the old Hungarian folk house construction, the abode wall was popular and a significant fraction of the people living in the countryside are still inhabit these old houses. The Hungarian winter is cold and followed normally by sizzling hot summer. The adobe wall construction is perfect for the local climatic conditions. Due to the on-going global warming up, the ecological importance of these wall constructions is becoming more prominent. Most of these adobe wall constructed houses are already under preservation order, due to their ecological significance and also because they are part of our culture heritage. Their conservation and maintenance problems are briefly described in the paper, too.

Full text

Abstract:

In this study, a comprehensive evaluation of static and dynamic balance abilities was performed in young and older adults and regression analysis was used to test whether age-related variations in individual ankle muscle mechanical properties could explain differences in balance performance. The mechanical properties included estimates of the maximal isometric force capability, force-length, force-velocity, and series elastic properties of the dorsiflexors and individual plantarflexor muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus). As expected, the older adults performed more poorly on most balance tasks. Muscular maximal isometric force, optimal fiber length, tendon slack length, and velocity-dependent force capabilities accounted for up to 60% of the age-related variation in performance on the static and dynamic balance tests. In general, the plantarflexors had a stronger predictive role than the dorsiflexors. Plantarflexor stiffness was strongly related to general balance performance, particularly in quiet stance; but this effect did not depend on age. Together, these results suggest that age-related differences in balance performance are explained in part by alterations in muscular mechanical properties.

Abstract:

Urban heritage sites in central cities are most difficult to protect during rapid and large scale urban (re)development. Rising land values from property development conflict with and constrain heritage preservation. Compared with many cities in developed and developing countries, large Chinese cities have experienced a stronger redevelopment imperative, faster population growth, and a weaker concern for urban heritages over the last three decades. We use Shanghai to examine the contested evolution of heritage preservation against massive urban redevelopment through three stages from 1990 to the present. Using three heritage projects (Xintiandi, Tianzifang, Bugaoli), we focus on: 1) how each project was implemented and the economic and spatial outcomes each has produced; 2) how the mode of each project’s development interacted with the shifting official policies for heritage preservation; and 3) the implications of the findings, theoretical and practical, for more effective urban preservation.

Abstract:

Robots for stroke rehabilitation at the lower limbs in sitting/lying position have been developed extensively. Some of them have been applied in clinics and shown the potential of the recovery of poststroke patients who suffer from hemiparesis. These robots were developed to provide training at different joints of lower limbs with various activities and modalities. This article reviews the training activities that were realized by rehabilitation robots in literature, in order to offer insights for developing a novel robot suitable for stroke rehabilitation. The control system of the lower limb rehabilitation robot in sitting position that was introduced in the previous work is discussed in detail to demonstrate the behavior of the robot while training a subject. The nonlinear impedance control law, based on active assistive control strategy, is able to define the response of the robot with more specifications while the passivity property and the robustness of the system is verified. A preliminary experiment is conducted on a healthy subject to show that the robot is able to perform active assistive exercises with various training activities and assist the subject to complete the training with desired level of assistance.

Abstract:

Neuromotor rehabilitation, typically seen with stroke patients, is usually mistakenly focused on the recovery of movements while disregarding the insufficient or missing awareness of the affected part of the body. Thus, the functional recovery of sensorimotor abilities is fundamentally a problem of consciousness. The paper addresses the implications of this concept in the design of optimal robot-assistance in the training of patients, according to the assumption that consciousness is the emergent property of the interaction between brain, body, and environment. Optimal assistance is formulated as a process that follows three basic guidelines: (1) limitation of the assistance level to the minimum value capable of allowing patients to initiate the movements; (2) trial-to-trial reduction of assistance in order to promote the emergence of voluntary control; (3) nonmonotonic modulation from session to session in order to promote memory consolidation.

Abstract:

The human rights and freedom corpus in contemporary international law has made topical property rights members of the German minority in Eastern and South-East European countries were deprived of during and after the end of World War II. The goal of dispossessing them of their property was to consolidate the demolished economy and plundered and destroyed national wealth on the part of the Axis powers and above all by, Nazi Germany and its satellites. Taking into account the fact that various categories of persons were dispossessed of their property and not only members of the German national minority that directly or indirectly participated in the occupation and the war of aggression against the states mentioned above, the demand for restitution of their property several decades after also opens the question of their legal and political rehabilitation and then revision of the legal and historical facts that could produce only limited institutional and legal effects within the changed sociopolitical circumstances. For the complexity of the restitution problem, an analysis should be done of the legal and historical heritage, which does not preclude examination of possible international implications, this also including negative effects that demands for restitution can have on the European integration process.

Abstract:

Objectives: The primary focus in the rehabilitation services program is the universal coverage of these services, in other words, to provide better access to these services in any place and situation. The present study aimed to develop and validate a physical rehabilitation accessibility assessment questionnaire as a standardized instrument that can be adaptable to people with physical disabilities. Methods: An exploratory sequential mixed methods design was used to develop and validate this questionnaire. Appropriate content was prepared through the literature review, related studies analysis, and focus group discussions with a qualitative approach. Then, the face, content, and construct validity and reliability of the questionnaire were evaluated. Results: The physical rehabilitation accessibility questionnaire with 17 items was formulated, and its psychometric properties were evaluated through testing in a study sample of 200 people with disabilities who filled up the questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis indicated that 81% of the variance of the accessibility to physical rehabilitation services was determined by four factors of affordability, transport, social support, and information access. Indices of PCFI=0.772, PNFI=0.717, NFI=0.877, CFI=0.952, CMIN/DF=1.867, RMSEA=0.066, and AGFI=0.871 confirmed the fitness of the final model. The convergent and divergent validity and reliability of the questionnaire were also confirmed. Discussion: The questionnaire has an appropriate psychometric property that makes it useful for assessing the accessibility of physical rehabilitation services for people with physical disabilities. This questionnaire can be used in subsequent studies to measure the accessibility of rehabilitation services.

Abstract:

Smart textiles have been widely discussed as a result of a fact that wearable technique has been used in healthcare, sports, tele-rehabilitation, and military fields. Textiles are characterized as comfortable, and thus suitable for long-term wearing, and therefore this study proposes to prepare humidity-sensitive textiles with electrical conductivity. Woven manufacturing is used in order to provide the textiles with desired mechanical properties of the woven fabrics that use high strength polyester (PET) fibers as the warp yarn, and cotton fibers and stainless steel fibers as two weft yarn types. Cotton fibers are water absorbent, while stainless steel fibers are electrically conductive and thus are able to provide sensing function. The humidity-sensitivity of the textiles relies on electrical conductivity; this study observe the fabric structure, water contact angle, and electrical conductivity of the fabrics in order to fabricate mechanically strong and humidity sensitive smart textiles.

Abstract:

Abstract Shortly after the Cuban Revolution of 1959, the government eradicated Havana's most famous shantytown, Las Yaguas. This essay traces more than a decade of negotiations between shantytown networks and government officials that preceded the eradication. While previous scholarship has made virtually no mention of pre-1959 policies, many aspects of post-1959 slum clearance grew directly from earlier initiatives. These policies were shaped by two overlapping types of disputes: those about property, and those about poverty. Over time, officials sought to neutralize activism around property and local autonomy, focusing on social welfare and rehabilitation instead. Shantytown leaders used this compromise to maximize claims for social assistance after 1959. Yet the relocations also reaffirmed long-standing stigmas against the urban poor, labeling them as passive or noncompliant. In the end, Las Yaguas residents were defined as beneficiaries, not heroes, of the Cuban Revolution.

Abstract:

The general policy in South African insolvency law is that assets must be recovered and included in the insolvent estate, and that this action must be to the advantage of the creditors of the insolvent estate. But there are several exceptions to this rule and an asset that is the subject of such an exception may be excluded from the insolvent estate. The Insolvency Act, however, does not expressly distinguish between excluded and exempt assets, thereby resulting in problem areas in the field of exemption law in insolvency in South Africa. It may be argued that the fundamental difference between excluded and exempt assets is that excluded assets should never form part of an insolvent estate and should be beyond the reach of the creditors of the insolvent estate, while exempt assets initially form part of the insolvent estate, but in certain circumstances may be exempted from the estate for the benefit of the insolvent debtor, thereby allowing the debtor to use such excluded or exempt assets to start afresh before or after rehabilitation. Modern society, socio-political developments and human rights requirements have necessitated a broadening of the classes of assets that should be excluded or exempted from insolvent estates. This article considers assets excluded from the insolvent estates of individual debtors by legislation other than the Insolvency Act. It must, however, be understood that these legislative provisions relate to insolvent estates and thus generally overlap in one way or another with some provisions of the Insolvency Act.

Abstract:

This research is an attempt to describe a new biomimetic model for the rehabilitation of social housing. In particular, the constructions built in Europe in the post Second World War period suffer of material and social degradation requiring architectural, functional and structural interventions. The analysis of the state of the art underlined the importance of the envelope in the definition of new performances and standards. Through a bio-mimicry approach, the paper shows the process leading to the definition of a building exoskeleton: a structural envelope able to solve complex sets of problems integrating different building systems. Adaptability results being a fundamental property to define an effective seismic and structural behavior but also to respond to changing user’s needs and environmental conditions. In the last part of the paper, information about feasible technologies and techniques to realize the exoskeleton are presented. Finally, the conclusions show the potentiality of the model if applied in critical contexts where intensive and diffusive interventions of recovery of social housing are needed.

Abstract:

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have found widespread applications as biomedical devices. Biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and ductility make these alloys attractive for medical devices such as stents and filters. For these implants, the superelastic property is the primary function of SMAs. Additionally, these alloys, such as NiTi as the prime example, can be used for actuation. Several modes of actuation such as displacement control, force control, and compliance control have been used as harnesses with SMA devices. These two unique properties have opened another application in the form of neurosurgery and robot-assisted surgery devices, as well as controlled assistive and rehabilitation devices. This paper reviews the state of the art of application of SMAs in the latter category where control is applied to harness innovative medical devices. To this end, two major subsets of these devices: prosthesis and orthosis which take the advantage of SMAs in assistive and rehabilitation devices are studied. These devices are further categorized to hand prosthetics, elbow, knee and ankle orthotics. In most of these designs, SMA wires act as artificial muscles to mimic the motion of limbs in the target joints. The evolution of each category is explained, and the specific results of them are reported. The paper also reviews the SMA applications for neurological and neuromuscular rehabilitation. To this end, different categories of rehabilitation devices as a passive and aided exercise for the ankle, knee, and elbow are highlighted. The SMA actuator in these devices can be EMG-controlled to improved patient outcome. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the biomedical devices, this paper identifies several possible future directions of SMA related research in the area of assistive and rehabilitation devices.

Abstract:

Abstract Background and Purpose. Recent reports have suggested that electrical stimulation trains that take advantage of the catchlike property of skeletal muscle can produce higher forces from skeletal muscle than traditionally used constant-frequency trains. This study investigated the effects of catchlike-inducing trains on human quadriceps femoris muscles while the knee joint was held at 15 degrees of flexion. Subjects and Methods. Subjects (N=12) were tested with constant-frequency trains that had interpulse intervals ranging from 10 to 160 milliseconds and comparable catchlike-inducing trains. Data were collected during the control condition (1 train every 10 seconds) and during repetitive contractions (1 train per second). Results. During control and repetitive activation conditions, catchlike-inducing trains produced approximately 5% to 110% greater peak forces than comparable constant-frequency trains, depending on the frequencies being compared. Total forces produced (ie, force-time integrals) were increased up to 59% and 49% during the control and repetitive activation conditions, respectively. Conclusion and Discussion. These results support earlier findings that catchlike-inducing trains may be advantageous in functional electrical stimulation applications.

Abstract:

Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural disasters that cause loss of life and property in the earthquake prone regions. Unsuitable soil conditions, inadequate material properties and deficiencies in the structural system can lead to costly seismic damages to structures. In this study, damages caused by the earthquake were examined for reinforced concrete beam-column joints. The most common damage type observed in earthquakes is the beam-column joint damage that decreases the lateral load bearing capacity and might be the reason for total collapse of structures. Weak bonding between concrete and reinforcing bars, absence of transverse reinforcement and incapable shear strength of RC beam-column joint are the most common causes for RC beam-column joint damage. After numerous experimental works, different strengthening methods were developed in literature. This paper discusses various strengthening methods including conventional and new techniques as well as their technological application details and the issues arise in practice

Abstract:

Visual mental imagery, or the ability to perceive a situation or set of objects in the “mind's eye,” is an important aspect of the learning process. One of the major theories of imagery is called the array theory and is aimed at describing components in an imagery processing system. Building on past research supporting this theory, a study was performed that examined three-dimensional space in images. Forty subjects participated in an imagery scanning task under conditions involving either a real or photographic display of objects. Results indicated that (a) space is a property of images; (b) the stimulus from which an image is formed may affect perceived space in images; and (c) differences in individuals' ability to form vivid images could influence perceived space. Further research is needed to enable occupational therapy educators to assess how activity is preserved in images and how individual differences among students could relate to the array theory of imagery processing.

Abstract:

One of the remarkable features of Mediterranean landscapes is the terraced land frame, usually supported by dry stone walling. The terraces, property division walls, pathways and traditional paths design a network compartmentalization that defines landscape identity. The informational content, aesthetic quality, ecological and cultural values allowed by this articulated construction are particularly important at coastal zones with intense human impact. On the Algarve, the hills displayed by such structures form the background scenario of an urban-touristic system. This paper aims to interrelate ecological, aesthetic, symbolic, socio-economic and political aspects that influence the spatial distribution and image of the terraces. The values that local people may assign to their landscapes will determine the acknowledgement of the structural elements under analysis, but the role of tourists must be seriously take into account. Beyond nostalgic solutions, one must prospect the future of the dry stone walling structure into the diversity of possible solutions for a sustainable landscape development, which enhances the living part of an inseparable unit that includes the densest urbanized areas with less ecological functions. We call such unit the urban-touristic region of Algarve and, therefore, we try to use landscape as an instrument of knowledge and acknowledgement of regional spaces.

Abstract:

Purpose The complex nature of multi-ownership, multi-storey buildings requires the services of property management companies (PMCs). Naturally, homeowners favor PMCs with good performance. Yet, their performances vary. The purpose of this paper is to measure the performance of PMCs in managing high-rise flats using the logic model as the contextual framework with its indicators adapted from the building quality index (BQI) scheme. Design/methodology/approach For this pilot study, the research was based on visual inspection and interviews with building management staff for the information concerning the output and outcome indicators. The authors also tested the relationship between outcomes and outputs and other factors that affect the performance of PMCs. Findings Based on our pilot study of 41 high-rise residential buildings, the performance outcomes of the PMCs varied considerably. The same PMC was likely to yield different performance outcomes due to unique building characteristics. The outputs, building ages and rehabilitation statuses of the buildings were the contributing factors to the PMCs’ performance outcomes. Practical implications The performance outcomes of the logic model can help homeowners and PMCs understand current PMC performance, which can help trigger the development of a strategy to enhance the health and safety of residential buildings in the future. Originality/value Unlike traditional performance measurements that use financial figures or balanced scorecards to measure organizational performance, the authors used the logic model performance measurement system because the performance outcomes of the PMCs were explicitly reflected in the physical building conditions. This framework was relatively straightforward and could be applied to cities dominated by multi-ownership, multi-storey apartments.
