Current Trends in the Use of Cannabis sativa: Beyond Recreational and Medicinal Applications

Cannabis sativa finds application in the medical field as an opioid (medical marijuana) and as a recreational drug despite the fact that it is a prohibited drug substance in many countries. Currently, there are reports on the increasing trends in the number of deaths associated with the use of marijuana. Regardless of these dangers, some countries across the world have legalized the sale and use of marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes. For these reasons, this review seeks to explore the emerging trends through which marijuana is consumed and the chemicals produced in the course of its use. Furthermore, the use of Cannabis sativa as medicine especially in the management of emerging diseases such a Corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and the perceived harms have been reviewed. Relevant literature was identified from database search published between the period 2012 and 2020 in PubMed, Crossref, Google scholar, Cochrane and Web of Science. The articles were considered relevant if they addressed marijuana (Cannabis sativa) use, its impacts on users and non-users, carcinogenicity, medicinal value and COVID-19 management. A number of methods by which marijuana is used have been identified with each method producing different results among users. The chemicals released during smoking of marijuana and their carcinogenic potential and health effects are reported in this work. Further, Cannabis sativa has found significant use in the management of cancer and human immuno-deficiency the contrary, most scientific studies have reported its use for medical reasons. Accordingly, there is need for further research on cannabis application as a medicinal drug, investigation on its possibility in the managing of the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-Cov-2) and its epidemiological concerns. Campaigns for the legalization of cannabis for use in clinical medicine are fundamentally recommended but must take into account possible toxicological concerns, health ethics and psychotic problems.
Phase control and Young’s modulus of tungsten thin film prepared by dual ion beam sputtering deposition

In this letter, tungsten films of varying thickness from ∼20 nm to ∼80 nm were prepared at different deposition temperature by Dual ion beam sputtering deposition (DIBSD) method. The influence of thickness and deposition temperature on the films phase, microstructure and Young’s modulus was studied briefly. The experiments prove that a double-layer structure, formation takes place i.e. β phase tungsten layer (low crystallinity) forms adjacent to the substrate and α tungsten phase layer (high crystallinity) forms above β phase. The increase in both the thickness and deposition temperature promotes the transformation from β phase to α phase which initiates from the interface between two phases. There is a critical thickness of ∼20 nm below which the film is a pure β phase, and the minimum thickness of forming pure α phase is affected by the deposition temperature, with 74 nm at 450°C, and 58 nm at 600°C. Furthermore, the decrease Young’s modulus of the tungsten film is ascribed to the formation of β phase which possesses low crystallinity with low density.In this letter, tungsten films of varying thickness from ∼20 nm to ∼80 nm were prepared at different deposition temperature by Dual ion beam sputtering deposition (DIBSD) method.

Relationship between Kinesiophobia and Vertical Ground Reaction Force in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructed and Deficient Patients during Landing Task

Background: The effect of kinesiophobia (fear of movement) following an anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL) has recently received great attention. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and peak vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) in ACL reconstructed (ACLR) and deficient (ACLD) individuals has not been investigated. Methods: Forty male patients (20 ACLR and 20 ACLD), 24 months post-ACL injury, who had completed post-injury/operative rehabilitation, participated in this cross-sectional study. Participants completed a drop vertical landing task on force plate while the VGRF was recorded. Participants also completed the TSK-11 (kinesiophobia) questionnaire. Results: Associations between peak VGRF and the TSK scale were made with Pearson correlation coefficients; significant relationships were defined as p≤0.05. The average peak VGRF was 2.67 ± 0.28 and 2.68 ± 0.17 (mean±SD) %bodyweight and the TSK value was 33.45 ± 4.6 and 31.60 ± 3.40 (mean±SD) for ACLD and ACLR groups, respectively. There was a significant negative association between poorer responses on the TSK scale and peak VGRF in the ACLD group (r=-0.58, p=0.007) but not in the ACLR group (r=-0.31, p=0.17). Conclusion: This study found greater kinesiophobia to be associated with a lower peak VGRF in the ACLD group during the landing task. It seems that ACLD individuals unload their injured limb because of fear of movement. These results suggest that in ACLD individuals with high kinesiophobia, cognitive training should be incorporated into their rehabilitation program to improve landing mechanics. Future studies are needed to assess whether these relationships play a role in developing osteoarthritis over time
Effect of Intermittent Addition on Turbidity Removal by Polymer Flocculant: Computer Simulation of Simplified Flocculation Model

Since there are many factors which influence the process of flocculation by polymer flocculant, the scientific understanding of the flocculation mechanism is still under discussion. We have proposed a simple bridging model which expresses flocculation under various additive manners of the flocculant and enables the understanding of qualitative trends of the flocculation system. In this study, from the simulated results based on the model and experimental data, we obtained the following knowledge. 1) The intermittent addition of polymer flocculant gives better and reproducible turbidity removal. 2) The optimum dosage, which results in maximum turbidity removal in a given manner of addition, increases as the number of doses under the intermittent addition increases. 3) At a given amount of primary particles, the reproducibility at the optimum dosage of the 1-time dose is the worst among all results, irrespective of the additive manner. It could, therefore, be concluded that all these findings are originated from the difference of probability of bridging formation among particles under various additive manners.
KMC modeling of helium bubble clustering and evolution in BCC iron

The effect of helium in iron is an important issue in nuclear systems, as iron and iron alloys (steels) are the primary materials used for structural elements. Helium is known to cause embrittlement and decrease fatigue life, as well as aid creep and promote swelling. These effects can significantly alter the mechanical properties of the reactor materials, and generally lead to early failure and decreased part lifetimes. This is a concern in both fission and fusion systems. The precise role that helium, helium-vacancy clusters, and helium bubbles play in the material degradation processes described above are still only partially understood. Further understanding into the role helium plays in these phenomena is essential to predicting the lifetime of iron and steels in nuclear reactors. This work was motivated by the results found earlier by Okuniewski. Said work was primarily experimental work studying the effects of helium concentration on cluster size distribution. KMC simulations were run for comparison, but the results were inconsistent. Both with and without helium present, the results showed the KMC simulation resulted in a significant shift compared to the experimental results. The KMC simulations predicted a high density of small sized clusters, while the experimental results showed a lower density of larger sized clusters. This inconsistency was believed to be a result of the various parameters chosen in the KMC model. This work focused on two primary goals: first, to develop a flexible KMC code capable of simulating the desired models, and second, to explore the modeling assumptions made in the previous KMC simulations in an attempt to come closer to experimental results. Several different models for cluster interaction range, dissociation energy, and migration energy were considered, and a KMC code was designed and built to accommodate these and other models. The code design will be presented, along with performance benchmarking results. Both annealing and damage simulations were then performed with varying combinations of parameter models. The results of these simulations are compared and discussed.
The Influence of Marketing Strategies on Growth and Sustainability in the Original Equipment Manufacturing Industry

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of marketing strategies on growth and sustainability in the OEM industry in Zambia. Based on Porter’s Generic Competitive Business Strategies, the study identified the major bottlenecks in the currently employed marketing strategies and assessed the relationship between Porter’s generic strategies in achieving KPI’s. A quantitative survey with structured questions was administered through self-completion questionnaires to 40 respondents, representing a 95% response rate. A descriptive research design was used and a quantitative research strategy used. IBM SPSS was used for correlation analysis, to assess the strength of the relationship between variables. The results indicated that at a 1% level of significance, the Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.01 and 0.000 at sig. (2-tailed) ket share growth. However, the results indicted a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.015 and 0.036 which was not statistically significant at sig. (2-tailed)
Clinical And Laboratory Features Of Cardiorenal Syndrome On The Background Of Carbohydrate Exchange Disorders

Violation of the kidney filtration function is common enough among patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially against disorders of carbohydrate metabolism (IGM). Renal dysfunction (PD) is associated with more frequent development of cardiovascular complications. In turn, the probability of development of renal disease in patients with cardiovascular disease is significantly higher than in general population. This bidirectional pathogenetic mechanisms existing between cardiovascular and kidney diseases were the basis for the formation of cardiorenal syndrome concept. The review discusses the general parts of pathogenesis within the cardiovascular continuum. In addition, it shows the effect on metabolic disorders during CVD combined with renal dysfunction. The review reveals a recent view on the main mechanisms of cardiorenal syndrome.
Calibration of Trust in Automated Driving: A Matter of Initial Level of Trust and Automation Driving Style?

Automated driving is becoming a reality, such technology raises new concerns about human-machine interaction on-road. Sixty-one drivers participated in an experiment aiming to better understand the influence of initial level of trust (Trustful vs Distrustful) on drivers’ behaviors and trust calibration during simulated Highly Automated Driving (HAD). The automated driving style was manipulated as positive (smooth) or negative (abrupt) to investigate human-machine early interactions. Trust was assessed over time through questionnaires. Drivers’ visual behaviors and take-over performances during an unplanned take-over request were also investigated. Results showed an increase of trust in automation over time, for both Trustful and Distrustful drivers regardless the automated driving style. Trust was also found to fluctuate over time depending on the specific events handled by the automated vehicle. Take-over performances were not influenced by the initial level of trust nor automated driving style.
Differentiation Between Agents and Patients in the Putative Two-Word Stage of Language Evolution

Several scholars from the latter school of thought have proposed that there was a two-word stage in the course of language evolution, in which utterances could not combine more than two words. These models agree that the putative two-word stage did not exhibit syntax. However, they disagree on whether or not there existed rules for inferring the semantic relationship between the two words expressing a compositional proposition. Focusing on semantically transitive events, I combine in the present paper language evolution models with previous empirical studies in linguistics to argue that the two-word stage was indeed governed by rules for inferring the compositional meaning of the utterance, in that (1) words were either associated with fixed (“predetermined”) semantic roles (i.e., agent, patient, predicate) or (2) there was a fixed order of semantic roles and the same words could be assigned different semantic roles in different utterances. Given the proposed existence of rules for producing and interpreting semantically compositional messages, it would appear that the putative two-word stage of language evolution did in fact exhibit syntax.
THE USE OF CRYPTOCURRENCY AS A PAYMENT INSTRUMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

Changes in the payment systems of some countries, initiated by the use of cryptocurrencies, have opened up many dilemmas in the economic literature. Although knowledge of this phenomenon has not been yet sufficiently crystallized, some states managed to regulate its use. In this paper, we investigate whether cryptocurrencies can be considered аs а currency, which has drawn increasing attention from regulators who are concerned about tax, insurance and other consequences related to the legal treatment of cryptocurrencies. The subject of the paper is to analyze the history, characteristics and level of cryptocurrency regulation in the world. The aim of the paper is to analyze the possibilities for regulating cryptocurrencies in the Republic of Serbia through the analysis of countries where the use of cryptocurrencies is legal.
A SERVQUAL ASSESSMENT OF INTERNET SERVICE QUALITY IN BHUTAN

Internet and telecommunication is nowadays one of the core necessities and is in fact required in every aspect of our daily lives. Bhutan introduced the internet and television in 1999. Internet and telecommunication has taken its roots in Bhutan and in every nook and cranny of the country. Given its importance, it is important to time to time assess its quality in the country for learning and development purposes. The study is based on quantitative analysis, using the SERVQUAL instrument. The data was collected through randomly distributed questionnaires through convenience sampling method via google form survey. Sample size of 384 was determined using an online survey monkey tool. The data for this study was analyzed using excel through paired two sample t-test to compare means and to see the significant difference between expectation and perception of the services of each dimension item of all the five dimensions at hypothesized mean difference of zero, alpha value of 0.05. The average gap score is at -0.6 which means that the expectations have not been met and quality of internet service is unsatisfactory. Interesting to note that TANGIBILITY, EMPATHY and RELIABILITY aspects require immediate attention. Generally, the difference between the two means is statistically significant, and therefore there is a statistical significant difference between perceived and expected internet service quality. The study therefore, recommends the (internet service providers) ISPs to consider improvements and rethinking developments on the dimensions discussed in the paper.

Theoretical prediction of fracture conditions for delithiation in silicon anode of lithium ion battery

Structural instability such as fractures of a silicon anode in a lithium ion battery, intrinsically induced by the large variation of the ratio, Li/Si, upon lithiation and delithiation, limits its potential for commercial use. Here, we study mechanical properties during delithiation in lithiated silicon particles to identify the conditions under which fracture is preventing during delithiation in terms of Li contents and silicon particle sizes. We employed the first principles calculation within the density functional framework combined with the continuum based calculation for the macroscopic mechanical properties. The theoretical limit for the largest crystalline silicon particle size that can prevent fractures upon complete delithiation is ∼0.6 μm at the lithium flux per unit surface area of 5.657 × 10−2 s−1 nm out of amorphous Li3.75Si, much larger than the critical fracture size (0.15 μm) that occurs during the first lithiation of crystalline Si. Furthermore, fractures during delithiation are nearly u.
Causal Judgment in the Wild: Evidence from the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election

Abstract When explaining why an event occurred, people intuitively highlight some causes while ignoring others. How do people decide which causes to select? Models of causal judgment have been evaluated in simple and controlled laboratory experiments, but they have yet to be tested in a complex real‐world setting. Here, we provide such a test, in the context of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Across tens of thousands of simulations of possible election outcomes, we computed, for each state, an adjusted measure of the correlation between a Biden victory in that state and a Biden election victory. These effect size measures accurately predicted the extent to which U.S. participants (N = 207, preregistered) viewed victory in a given state as having caused Biden to win the presidency. Our findings support the theory that people intuitively select as causes of an outcome the factors with the largest standardized causal effect on that outcome across possible counterfactual worlds.
