Published: December 2022

Monocytes are large circulating white blood cells that are the main precursors of tissue macrophages as well as tumor-associated macrophages in the adult body. Different types of monocytes have multidirectional effects on the growth and metastatic spread of cancer cells, both activating and inhibiting these processes. Tumor progression is associated with the triggering of a whole cascade of inflammatory and immune reactions. These pathological processes are associated with changes in the amino acid content of monocytes, which can lead to disruption of their function, in particular their migration, division and maturation. The aim of the work was to profile the amino acids of monocytes, followed by a study of the amino acid composition of monocytes from patients with breast cancer using liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection. Significant differences in metabolite levels in monocytes of breast cancer patients and monocytes of healthy donors were found for glycine (p-value = 0.0127), asparagine (p-value = 0.0197), proline (p-value = 0.0159), methionine (p-value = 0.0357), tryptophan (p-value = 0.0028), tyrosine (p-value = 0.0127). In the study, we identified biological networks that could potentially be involved in altering the phenotype of monocytes affected by breast cancer (BC), using bioinformatic analysis of metabolic pathways involving the discovered amino acids. Mathematical models based on amino acid combinations with 100% sensitivity and specificity have been developed. Features of immune system cell metabolism in BC have been identified and potential diagnostic biomarkers have been proposed.

Vinokur «Attitude to work and professional burnout» and the original questionnaire «Lean competencies of a medical worker», the manifestations of professional burnout in medical workers of medical organizations in which lean manufacturing technologies were introduced were studied. The study for the first time established an inverse correlation between the severity of professional burnout and involvement in lean manufacturing in medical workers. Based on the results obtained, it is suggested that participation in project activities to improve processes in a medical organization can help reduce the severity of emotional exhaustion and work tension, as well as contribute to professional development and increase the self-esteem of medical workers.
Outpatient Letters in Real Time for Better Patient Outcomes
Authors: Jones Ashlea , Bowman Paula
Published: December 2022

The Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service commenced a six-month proof-of-concept to trial speech recognition and self-type software in 2020.  This action was taken in response to an ageing medical transcription workforce; an increase in outpatient letters due to population growth and the novel coronavirus pandemic; and more timely transfer of care communication to GPs. 
The proof-of-concept presented the health service with a unique opportunity as no other public hospital in Queensland had leveraged speech recognition or self-type software for the production and distribution of outpatient letters.  The proof-of-concept trial provided 18 clinicians with the choice to type or dictate outpatient letters, electronically sign, and distribute to referring general practitioners (GPs) in one transaction.  
The results of the proof-of-concept demonstrated a 39% uptake of speech recognition and self-type software, demonstrating an opportunity to supplement the medical transcription workforce to address the rising outpatient activity.  The proof-of-concept also demonstrated an average reduction in transaction time of 25% from the baseline measure over the six-month trial period.   This finding supports the timely transfer of communication to GPs.  However, it will need to be carefully analysed against the participant frustrations of voice to text accuracy to minimise the risk of poor adoption.

The paper analyses how cooperative learning can be used in teaching literature, specifically 19th century Italian literature. It presents the results of group activities carried out in October 2022 by students from the Faculty of Letters of the “Babes-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca, with specialisation in Italian A and B. These are students attending the Italian Literature II course, taught in Italian. The participants returned to university (face-to-face didactic activities) only in the spring of 2022, in the second semester of their first year of study at a university level. They spent more than one year of high school during the Covid-19 pandemic (with online school). After having carried out a cooperative activity in the practical course that focused on the study of Italian literature, in groups of 3-4 students, they were given an anonymous questionnaire to express their views on cooperative learning of foreign languages and literatures. The questionnaire contained 7 questions in which the teacher wanted to check whether the students found cooperative learning more effective than the classical methods of learning foreign languages and literatures in the post-pandemic period and how the cooperative activity stimulated their curiosity for Italian literature, especially for reading the novel studied during the practical course.

Visual technologies such as AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality), or MR (Mixed Reality) show an increase in popularity in the educational field. In addition to the fact that they can significantly improve the transfer of information in education, they can turn lessons into more interesting and interactive activities. Among these technologies, AR has become the most accessible, due to the rise in the popularity of mobile devices. The increasing popularity of distance teaching and the increasing performance of mobile devices and applications will make this topic an important one in the future in educational psychology. The current study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using AR in learning and compare it with classical 3D models. Following the calculations, we discovered a minor influence. This implies that the group of students who used simple 3D outperformed the group of students who used Assemblr AR, but the gap between the 2 learning methods was not very wide. The results indicate that the use of 3D models is effective in learning but there is no significant difference between the AR and normal 3D models. The limited effects and the findings of other studies on AR in education imply that additional research is required.

Teaching social skills is a challenging process due to the fact that each skill is difficult to motivate and reward and to the sheer number of skills that can be considered social skills and the infinite ways in which changes in the environment affect the perception of each skill. The most important step in the development of the social skills repertoire in children diagnosed with ASD consists in the occurrence of social desire. Therefore, the social environment must be implemented in a way that is attractive to the child. Many social skills are learned automatically in typical ABA/VB programs. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) seem to lack a desire to search for deeper causal links in their understanding of the world. Instead, they remember predictable routines (for example, brushing their teeth) and processing information at the surface level. This leads to a fragmented and superficial understanding of the environment, although they can remember much about it. Children with ASD face difficulties in achieving social contexts in the sense of other people's behavior, because it relies on understanding their intentions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a Social Story as an intervention used to reduce maladaptive behavior and to enhance social skills in 3 children diagnosed with ASD.

The psychotherapist is an important specialist who makes a major contribution to ensuring the mental health of people in today’s society. Unfortunately, however, the psychotherapist is not correctly perceived, or he/she is even unknown to the collective mind, despite the fact that psychotherapy is a valuable resource in today’s social context loaded with a multitude of stressful and traumatic factors. Integrative psychotherapy, one of the newest forms of psychotherapy, responds effectively to the challenges of today’s society in an integrated way, focusing on the relationship between the therapist and the patient. The integrative psychotherapist is the specialist who, through prevention, diagnosis and intervention, guides the person towards the balance that ensures mental health. The research carried out on a panel of students confirms that the image of the psychotherapist is not known or is perceived in a distorted way, even by a public with a certain level of intellectual background. The integrative psychotherapists involved in the research also highlight that psychotherapy is an important resource in enhancing quality of life, but it is little known and not valued. Therefore, there is a need to promote the image of the psychotherapist at the level of the collective mind, the need for an education to promote mental health, an education that focuses not only on physical health but also on mental health, an education that leads to the psycho-physical well-being of the person.

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has had a significant influence on public transportation usage and service provision. As many countries begin to return to normality, new public transportation planning standards are being developed. Considering these new standards, there is a critical shortage of understanding the possible impact of the pandemic on public transportation systems and models that can help service planning face these challenges. This paper analyzes data collected in Cluj-Napoca (Romania), from late-February 2020 to late-March 2021. As local authorities began to remove restrictions aimed at limiting the propagation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the study investigates the travel changes in various modes of transportation, travel plans, and user categories. Results confirm that low-income groups depend on public transit the most; consequently, they had considerably lower declines in usage during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study also identifies various daily average patterns of demand for public transportation in Cluj-Napoca throughout each stage of the pandemic. All of these data contribute to extending the global understanding about COVID-19’s influence on transport usage by comparing these outcomes with the ones from other cities. They offer pertinent information for transportation authorities to develop adaptation policies to a major event like this pandemic. Although there is still apprehension about using public transportation, the collected data show that the regular public transport users from before the pandemic have been gradually returning to their transport of choice once the restrictions have been relaxed (March-May 2020).

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are innovative approaches oriented to address societal and environmental challenges. Increasing the interest to implement NbS in cities is strongly connected with their inclusion as potential measures in urban planning. The aim of our article was to assess the inclusion of NbS in Romanian urban development strategies. We used an evaluation matrix to systematically extract data from 249 urban development strategies. Using content analysis, we assessed the level of inclusion of NbS in different sections of the strategies. Only 10% of urban strategies include different aspects related to NbS concepts, while 40% of the documents are linking NbS to objectives. More than a third of the documents focused on the creation, modernization and maintenance of green areas meanwhile ecosystem services were not presented as specific benefits. This scarce presence of NbS in urban strategies warns about limited consideration of innovative approaches in urban planning, which could influence the capacity of Romanian cities to handle climate changes and to become more sustainable, resilient, and equitable.

Numerical Analysis of Geometrical Parameters Effect on Contact Zone Under Fretting Fatigue Loading
Authors: Chaouch Mohamed Ikhlef , Baltach Abdelghani , Benhamena Ali
Published: December 2022

The fatigue process under fretting conditions is characterized by small oscillatory movements due to vibrating or cyclic loads between two surfaces in contact. Two phenomena can arise as a consequence: the surface wear of the bodies in contact, giving rise to the so-called fretting wear. The second phenomenon concerns crack nucleation in the contact region, causing a reduction in the fatigue strength of the component subjected to cyclic loading. This process is called “fretting fatigue”. In the present study, finite element models (2D-FEM) are provided to demonstrate the effect of pad radius on the contact parameters such as: contact pressure, shear traction, stresses, sliding, size of contact line and crack nucleation and its location along the contact line of aeronautical Al2024 alloy under fretting fatigue loading. Six numerical models are utilized to describe the effect of changing pad radii on contact stresses and damage of crack nucleation. The Ruiz parameter criterion should be used to predict the location of crack initiation in the contact zone. Comparison of the finite element results shows that there is a good agreement between the numerical modeling predictions with those analytical results. The stress field, relative slip, and damage parameters in fretting fatigue loading were highlighted. The pad radius substantially affects the distribution of contact parameters. Particular attention must be taken into consideration to this variable when analyzing the structure in fretting fatigue.
Investigation on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of ASTM A131 Steel Manufactured by Different Welding Methods
Authors: Ata Fatih , Calık Adnan , Ucar Nazim
Published: December 2022

Welding is an indispensable manufacturing process in the shipbuilding industry. The fierce competition involved often necessitates a cost-effective and reliable welding method. In this study, the weldabilities, microstructures and some mechanical properties of ASTM A131 (Grade A) steel joints fabrication by submerged arc welding (SAW), metal active gas (MAG) welding and plasma arc welding (PAW) have been investigated. The microstructures of the welds were examined by optical microscopy. The mechanical properties of the joints were determined by microhardness measurements, tensile and impact tests. The results showed that tensile strength of the joints reached a tensile strength of up to 462 MPa. The locations of the fractures were always adjacent to the base metal. The Charpy impact energy of the weld metal reached a value of 72.5 J, which was 25 % higher than that of the base metal at 57.7 J. A relatively high hardness of 221 HV was obtained in the PAW method compared to 179 HV in the base metal.
Investigation of Signals of the Range 10−3–10−4 Hz Registered by Water-Tube Tiltmeters in the Underground Geodynamic Laboratory in Książ (Sw Poland)
Authors: Kaczorowski Marek , Kasza Damian , Zdunek Ryszard , Wronowski Roman
Published: December 2022

The Geodynamic Laboratory in Książ includes investigations of various kinds of geodynamic signals. Among others, we registered harmonic signals of the range 10−3–10−4 Hz. These signals had been found in the measurement series of the long water-tube (WT) tiltmeters. The discovered signals consist of two classes of harmonics associated with various kinds of phenomena. The first class of these signals belongs to viscoelastic vibrations of the Earth’s solid body, while the second class is produced possibly by the extremely long atmospheric infrasound waves. The signals of the vibrations of the Earth had been well recognized by the characteristic frequencies of the Earth’s free vibrations’ resonance, which occur mainly after strong earthquakes. The atmospheric pressure microvibrations affected the water level in the hydrodynamic systems of the WTs as a result of an inverse barometric effect. We observed that signals from both classes blend in the harmonics of similar frequencies and jointly affect the hydrodynamic systems of the WTs. We found that the amplitude of the second-class signals strongly depends on the location of water-tube gauges inside the underground, while the amplitudes of the first-class signals are similar for all the gauges. These observations clearly indicate the atmospheric origin of the second class of registered signals.

Comprehensibility and Automation: Plain Language in the Era of Digitalization
Authors: Üveges István
Published: December 2022

The current article briefly presents a pilot machine-learning experiment on the classification of official texts addressed to lay readers with the use of support vector machine as a baseline and fastText models.

For this purpose, a hand-crafted corpus was used, created by the experts of the National Tax and Customs Administration of Hungary under the office’s Public Accessibility Programme. The corpus contained sentences that were paraphrased or completely rewritten by the experts to make them more readable for lay people, as well their original counter pairs. The aim was to automatically distinguish between these two classes by using supervised machine-learning algorithms.

If successful, such a machine-learning-based model could be used to draw the attention of experts involved in making the texts of official bodies more comprehensible to the average reader to the potentially problematic points of a text. Therefore, the process of rephrasing such texts could be sped up drastically.

Such a rephrasing (considering, above all, the needs of the average reader) can improve the overall comprehensibility of official (mostly legal) texts, and therefore supports access to justice, the transparency of governmental organizations and, most importantly, improves the rule of law in a given country.
