Osteoporosis: a 3rd millennium disease

Osteoporosis is currently considered a skeletal disease characterized by a diminished resistance of bone tissue, which predisposes to a greater risk of fractures. This disease, which affects mainly postmenopausal women, is constantly increasing, especially owing to a longer life-span; reliable epidemiological studies have reported that all over the world there are more than 200 million osteoporotic subjects. Osteoporosis is evaluated by calculating bone mineral density (BMD), analyzing bone quality, and estimating risk factors. BMD is calculated using DEXA (Dual-Energy Xray Absorptiometry), QCT (Quantitative Computed Tomography), and QUS (Quantitative Ultrasonography). The analysis of bone quality includes various factors such as microarchitecture, geometry, bone turnover, mineralization, and the properties of collagen and the extracellular matrix. The most common risk factors for osteoporosis are hereditary predisposition, sex, age, early menopause, smoking, use of corticosteroid drugs for long periods of time, malabsorption, and endocrine disorders. The orthopedic surgeon is increasingly more involved in treating so-called fragility fractures caused by osteoporosis. The sites most frequently affected by these fractures are the femoral neck, the proximal part of the humerus, the vertebrae, and the distal part of the radius. Currently, fragility fractures are often treated surgically by using devices, which allow obtaining stable internal fixation in a less resistant bone and early joint mobilization. In fact, the study of the most recent surgical devices has been oriented toward finding materials with osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, which can be used while respecting and supporting the bone’s regenerative capacity. As far as medical treatment of osteoporosis is concerned, the most widely used drugs are bisphosphonates, peptides of the parathyroid hormone, selective modulators of estrogen receptors, and strontium ranelate. At present, the researchers involved in this problem are studying new drugs which not only treat the disease but can also be used to support the healing process of fractures in osteoporotic patients including those treated surgically, thereby enhancing the bone tissue’s regenerative potential and improving its mechanical properties.
Self-inflicted lingual trauma secondary to inferior alveolar nerve block in 3 horses

Summary
Exodontia is the typical treatment recommended in severe cases of dental disease where alternative treatment techniques fail to salvage the affected tooth. Exodontias are frequently performed in the standing horse with the benefit of sedation and regional anaesthesia in order to avoid the risks and expense of general anaesthesia. The inferior alveolar nerve block is commonly utilised when extracting diseased mandibular dentition. Because of the close anatomical relationship of the lingual and inferior alveolar nerves both may be desensitised following anaesthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve. Desensitisation of the tongue may result in horses traumatising it during mastication before sensation returns. This report describes 3 horses that sustained self-inflicted lingual trauma following inferior alveolar nerve blocks performed for standing oral surgical procedures.

Gen iv integrated oxide fuels recycling strategies

The current open nuclear fuel cycle uses only a few percent of the energy contained in uranium. This efficiency can be greatly improved through the recycling of spent fuel (as done today in France for instance), including, in the longer term, multi-recycling strategies to be deployed in fast reactors. In this context, GENIORS addresses research and innovation in fuel cycle chemistry and physics for the optimisation of fuel design in line with the strategic research and innovation agenda and deployment strategy of SNETP, notably of its ESNII component. GENIORS focuses on reprocessing and fuel manufacture of MOX fuel potentially containing minor actinides, which would be reference fuel for the ASTRID and ALFREDO demonstrators.
More specifically, GENIORS will carry out research and innovation for developing compatible techniques for dissolution, reprocessing and manufacturing of innovative oxide fuels, potentially containing minor actinides, in a “fuel to fuel” approach taking into account safety issues under normal and mal-operation. It also considers the impacts of these strategies on the interim storage. For delivering a full picture of a MOX fuel cycle, GENIORS will work in close collaboration with the INSPYRE project on oxide fuels performance.
By implementing a three step approach (reinforcement of the scientific knowledge => process development and testing => system studies, safety and integration), GENIORS will lead to the provision of more science-based strategies for nuclear fuel management in the EU.
It will allow nuclear energy to contribute significantly to EU energy independence. In the longer term, it will facilitate the management of ultimate radioactive waste by reducing its volume and radio-toxicity.
At the longer term, a better understanding of a spent nuclear properties and behavior, at each step of the cycle will increase the safety of installations for interim storage during normal operation but also hypothetical accident scenarios.
Fibrous, non-woven sheet materials

A non-woven fibrous sheet comprises a batt of synthetic fibres of which 5-50% wt. are polypropylene fibres and 95-50% wt. are drawn polyethylene terephthalate fibres wherein the polypropylene fibres have been at least partially melted by heating above the m.p. thereof to bind the polyethylene terephthalate fibres together. The polypropylene fibres can be drawn, undrawn or a mixture thereof. The heating can be to above 165 DEG C, e.g. by hot-calendering at 185 DEG C. The fibres may be staple fibres or continuous filaments.
University Governance, Leadership and Management in a Decade of Diversification and Uncertainty

The last decade has seen an acceleration of change in the way British universities have been governed, led and managed. This has substantially been driven by the instability of the external environment, which has encouraged a greater centralisation of decision-making leading to less governance and more management, but it is also a consequence of the growing convergence of the governance and management models of the pre- and post-1992 universities. The article identifies a rise in ‘the executive’ at the expense of the traditional components of university governance, governing bodies, senates, academic boards and faculty boards, and a growing tendency to push academic participation to the periphery. It describes the dangers implicit in such developments and suggests that they may lead to a loss in academic vitality and distinctiveness.
‪Young Sicilian People facing Covid-19: Experiences and Sensibilities in relation to their families in the context of isolation‪

Cet article fait référence à une recherche menée pendant le confinement italien de 2020 et la période suivante de mesures restrictives en 2021. L'objet de la recherche sont les jeunes siciliens qui vivaient chez eux avec leurs familles. La Sicile est représentative de la condition de la jeunesse italienne caractérisée par le chômage des jeunes et la difficulté de ceux-ci à rechercher un emploi stable pour accéder à l'indépendance économique mais aussi au logement. Il a été jugé intéressant d'analyser le vécu des jeunes à travers des entretiens qualitatifs via Skype pour comprendre leur vécu à la lumière de la sociologie du corps et des émotions. On s'est efforcé de comprendre et de caractériser les différentes manières de se rapporter aux familles d'origine et d'insérer son propre rythme personnel dans le rythme d'une famille. Les résultats mettent en évidence différents types de cohabitation qui restituent l'image d'une situation complexe de coexistence générationnelle caractérisée par la solidarité et l’individualisme.
Explaining differences in remuneration rates of nursing homes in Germany

Remuneration rates of German nursing homes are prospectively negotiated between long-term care insurance (LTCI) and social assistance on the one side and nursing homes on the other. They differ considerably across regions while there is no evidence for substantial differences in care provision. This article explains the differences in the remuneration rates by observable characteristics of the nursing home, its residents and its region with a special focus on the largest federal state of North Rhine Westphalia, in which the most expensive nursing homes are located. We use data from the German Federal Statistical Office for 2005 on all nursing homes that offer full-time residential care for the elderly. We find that differences in remuneration rates can partly be explained by exogenous factors. Controls for residents, nursing homes and district characteristics explain roughly 30 % of the price difference; 40 % can be ascribed to a regionally different kind of negotiation between nursing homes and LTCI. Thirty percent of the raw price difference remains unexplained by observable characteristics.
Collaborative Procurement in Construction Projects Performance Measures, Case Study: Partnering in Iranian Construction Industry

Abstract Studies in construction procurement methods show that there needs to be a change of culture and attitude in the construction industry, moving from traditional adversarial relationship into cooperative and collaborative relationship. Complexity, uncertainty and time pressure that characterize construction projects are increasing the need for this change. Research in performance measures for construction partnering projects becomes vital because of the increasing interest of clients to use partnering approach in construction projects. Measures allow key participants to assess the status of partnering arrangement and identify its strengths and weaknesses. Partnering performance is affected by two factors: Project performance and Partner's performance. One of the main criteria to assess is whether the motivations for entering into partnering has been achieved at the end or not. However, application and generalization of construction partnering in Iran is still in its inception. There are few comprehensive research studies focused on objective, reliable and practical partnering performance results in construction industry. This paper discusses six project partnering Case Studies of a recent Iran's project partnering. The study is based on semi-structured interviews process involving senior project participants and a review of projects documentation which identifies satisfaction about time, cost, quality, client satisfaction and claim performance through partnering.
Predicting shot peening coverage using multiphase computational fluid dynamics simulations

A three-dimensional non-steady state shot peening simulation platform for coverage prediction is developed based on commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) ANSYS-FLUENT software. To simulate the air–peen flow, the airflow is treated as a continuum phase governed by the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes conservation equations, while the peen is taken as a discrete phase in which the trajectories of the peens are tracked individually. Two-way air–peen interactions are solved by exchanging mutual momentum during the peening process. User Defined Functions (UDFs) for particle loading distribution in the nozzle, particle dispersion, particle rebound, and nozzle movement are developed and incorporated into ANSYS-FLUENT. A numerical procedure based on the Eulerian–Lagrangian approaches is used in the solution. The air–peen simulation results based on the above model and numerical procedure is found to be in excellent agreement with the literature experimental data. For coverage prediction, both single dimple area and multiple impact coverage models are developed and validated by both experimental data and in-house Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation result. The obtained simulation results for coverage are in good agreement with existing experimental data. In addition, the simulations for two other configurations, that is, round-flat and airfoil NACA0012 specimens, are also performed to demonstrate the capability of the simulation platform. The present work shows that the multiphase shot peening simulation platform developed here can be used to accurately predict air–peen flow and coverage and to further optimize shot peening processes under real operating conditions.
TEMA and Dot Enumeration Profiles Predict Mental Addition Problem Solving Speed Longitudinally

Different math indices can be used to assess math potential at school entry. We evaluated whether standardized math achievement (TEMA-2 performance), core number abilities (dot enumeration, symbolic magnitude comparison), non-verbal intelligence (NVIQ) and visuo-spatial working memory (VSWM), in combination or separately, predicted mental addition problem solving speed over time. We assessed 267 children's TEMA-2, magnitude comparison, dot enumeration, and VSWM abilities at school entry (5 years) and NVIQ at 8 years. Mental addition problem solving speed was assessed at 6, 8, and 10 years. Longitudinal path analysis supported a model in which dot enumeration performance ability profiles and previous mental addition speed predicted future mental addition speed on all occasions, supporting a componential account of math ability. Standardized math achievement and NVIQ predicted mental addition speed at specific time points, while VSWM and symbolic magnitude comparison did not contribute unique variance to the model. The implications of using standardized math achievement and dot enumeration ability to index math learning potential at school entry are discussed.

Catalysis in Biodiesel Synthesis: Challenges and Future Perspectives

The necessity to search for fossil fuel alternative is getting more critical with the increasing fossil fuel price and also its limited supply. The use of mineral diesel for transport sector is unfeasible as it is nonrenewable and emits greenhouse gases to the atmosphere during combustion, particularly carbon dioxide which can lead to global warming phenomena. Biodiesel is a type of biofuel that can be produced using renewable resources such as biomass. It can be produced from oils and fats through transesterification process. The presence of catalyst is important to ensure that the reaction can progress at shorter time and produce high biodiesel yield. Numerous catalysts have been used to assist the transesterification process. They include homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts and can be further divided into acid and base nature. The catalysis in biodiesel production is progressing at faster rate in order to find a catalyst that is more practical for larger production scale. Ionic liquids and ionic solids are among new catalysts introduced with aim to improve the efficiency of the process. This chapter focused on the benefits and drawbacks of different catalysts for biodiesel synthesis. The applications of novel processes for more sustainable and enhanced biodiesel production are also discussed.KeywordsBiodieselCatalystHomogeneousHeterogeneousNovel process
Awareness and Knowledge of Osteoporosis in Vietnamese Women

Purpose. Vietnamese women are at particular risk of osteoporosis and its complications. This study examined osteoporosis knowledge and awareness among Vietnamese women who have accessed health care. Methods. A sample of 217 women, 13 to 76 years of age, who were attending 1 of 2 health care facilities in Da Nang, Vietnam, between November and December 2009 completed a questionnaire assessing their awareness of osteoporosis and measuring their knowledge using a 30-item instrument reflecting 9 knowledge domains (eg, risk factors, diagnosis, prognosis). Results. A majority (81.6%) of the women had heard of osteoporosis. Awareness was associated with education, working in health care, and having a family member with osteoporosis. On average, Vietnamese women answered 49% of the knowledge questions correctly; scores ranged from 0 to 26 questions correct out of 30 (mean = 14.71 ± 5.2, median = 15). Mean knowledge scores were higher among those reporting a family member with osteoporosis, nurses (vs other vocations), and women with a high school education or greater (relative to those who had not completed high school). More than 90% of the women expressed interest in a prevention and treatment program. Conclusions. Vietnamese women may have heard of osteoporosis, yet they would benefit from education targeting prevention and treatment of the disease.
Luminescence of OD radical as an evidence for water decomposition under destruction of the deuterated terbium sulfate crystal hydrate

Abstract The triboluminescence of Tb 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ·8H 2 O crystals in which water was replaced by heavy water has been studied for the first time. An increase in triboluminescence intensity of Tb 2 (SO 4 ) 3 · n D 2 O ( n ≈8) crystals corresponds to the change in quantum yield of Tb 3+ ions. The replacement of the crystallized H 2 O by D 2 O causes the appearance of characteristic lines of OD radicals instead of OH ones in the UV region of the spectrum. The decomposition of the crystallized water, in this regard, was confirmed.
Comorbidity between personality disorders and depressive symptomatology in women: A cross-sectional study of three different transitional life stages

This study assessed the prevalence of personality disorders (PDs), according to DSM-IV criteria, in relation to depressive symptomatology at three different periods of life in female subjects. Depressive symptoms and personality disorders were assessed in a sample of 568 women from three different transitional stages: 134 students, 314 primiparous women after childbirth and 120 women diagnosed with breast cancer. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Hospital Depression and Anxiety Scale in the first and third groups and by the Edinburgh Post-natal Depression Scale in the second group, whereas PDs were assessed by the French version of the Vragenlijst voor Kenmerken van de Persoonlijkheid. Depressive symptomatology and rates of PD (20.4% and 6.3%) were equivalent in the three groups. The prevalence of PD was higher in the depressed group compared with the non-depressed group, with more paranoid, borderline, avoidant, obsessive-compulsive, schizotypal, antisocial, dependent and histrionic PD. Our findings support the hypothesis that PDs are more frequently associated with depressive symptoms. Borderline and avoidant PDs were more prevalent among young women. All cluster C PD (dependent, avoidant and obsessive-compulsive) co-occurred significantly with depressive symptoms.
CHARACTERIZING COMPLEXITY IN SOLAR MAGNETOGRAM DATA USING A WAVELET-BASED SEGMENTATION METHOD

The multifractal nature of solar photospheric magnetic structures are studied using the 2D wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method. This relies on computing partition functions from the wavelet transform skeleton defined by the WTMM method. This skeleton provides an adaptive space-scale partition of the fractal distribution under study, from which one can extract the multifractal singularity spectrum. We describe the implementation of a multiscale image processing segmentation procedure based on the partitioning of the WT skeleton which allows the disentangling of the information concerning the multifractal properties of active regions from the surrounding quiet-Sun field. The quiet Sun exhibits a average H\"older exponent $\sim -0.75$, with observed multifractal properties due to the supergranular structure. On the other hand, active region multifractal spectra exhibit an average H\"older exponent $\sim 0.38$ similar to those found when studying experimental data from turbulent flows.
A method for manufacturing synthetic (artificial) leather from non-woven fabric

The present invention relates to a method for adding potential capacities of elasticity and cushioning property to a non-woven fabric used in manufacturing synthetic leather and artificial leather and non-woven fabric synthetic leather and artificial leather which are manufactured using the non-woven fabric, thereby expressing superior elasticity and cushioning property. A non-woven fabric for synthetic leather and artificial leather according to the present invention is manufactured by mixing 5 to 60 wt.% of a water soluble polyvinyl alcohol fiber with a synthetic fiber in the temperature range of 5 to 95 DEG C, wherein elasticity or cushioning property is selectively expressed from the synthetic leather and artificial leather by manufacturing synthetic leather and artificial leather using the non-woven fabric after passing the non-woven fabric through appropriate post-treatment processing. Non-woven fabric synthetic leather and artificial leather having more superior elasticity or cushioning property are manufactured according to the present invention.
