Oil Family Typing Using a Hybrid Model of Self-Organizing Map and Artificial Neural Network
Authors: Majid  , Mosavi Amir
Published: December 2021

Identifying the number of oil families in petroleum basins provides practical and valuable information in petroleum geochemistry studies from exploration to development. Oil family grouping helps us track migration pathways, identify the number of active source rock(s), and examine the reservoir continuity. To date, almost in all oil family typing studies, common statistical methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) have been used. However, there is no publication regarding using artificial neural networks (ANNs) for examining the oil families in petroleum basins. Hence, oil family typing requires novel, not overused and common techniques. This paper is the first report of oil family typing using ANNs as robust computational methods. To this end, a self-organization map (SOM) neural network associated with three clustering validity indices were employed on oil samples belonging to the Iranian part of the Persian Gulf’ oilfields. For the SOM network, at first, ten default clusters were selected. Afterwards, three effective clustering validity coefficients, namely Calinski-Harabasz (CH), Silhouette indexes (SI) and Davies-Bouldin (DB), were operated to find the optimum number of clusters. Accordingly, among ten default clusters, the maximum CH (62) and SI (0.58) were acquired for four clusters. Likewise, the lowest DB (0.8) was obtained for four clusters. Thus, all three validation coefficients introduced four clusters as the optimum number of clusters or oil families. The number of oil families identified in the present report is consistent with those previously reported by other researchers in the same study area. However, the techniques used in the present paper, which have not been implemented so far, can be introduced as more straightforward for clustering purposes in the oil family typing than those of common and overused methods of PCA and HCA.

Westerners Underestimate Global Inequality
Authors: Ziano Ignazio , Onyeador Ivuoma Ngozi
Published: December 2021

Most global inequality is between-countries, but inequality perceptions have mostly been investigated within-country. Five studies (total N = 2149, four preregistered) show that Westerners (U.S. American, British, and French participants) believe that developing and middle-income countries’ GDP per capita is much closer to developed countries’ than it actually is, and that people in developing and middle-income countries have higher rates of car ownership, larger houses, and eat out more frequently than they actually do, meaning that Westerners underestimate global inequality. This misperception is underpinned by a convergence illusion: the belief that since the 1990s, poorer countries have closed the economic gap with richer countries to a larger extent than they have. Further, overestimating GDP per capita is negatively correlated with support for aid to the target country and positively correlated with a country’s perceived military threat. We discuss implications for inequality perception and for global economic justice.

Published: December 2021

The PALAEOSILKROAD project has been conducting field surveys in Kazakhstan to explore the regional Palaeolithic record by targeting primarily caves and rockshelters. However, the survey also discovered numerous sites that were occupied during the Holocene. In this paper, we present our preliminary findings from the Nazugum rockshelter, a new archaeological site located in south-eastern Kazakhstan (Almaty region). The stratigraphic sequence demonstrates the transition from fluvial channel deposits without artifacts to aeolian loess deposits with lithics, charcoal remnants, and fragments of animal bones. The lithics recovered from the sediment wall are dominated by bladelet technology, characteristic for Holocene assemblages. Radiocarbon dates from adjacent charcoal samples yielded an age of 2461-2347 cal. years BC attributing the human occupation to the transitional period of late Eneolithic and early Bronze Age. Our study provides new data for the use of rockshelters in Kazakhstan during the late Holocene and lays the groundwork for future salvage work in Nazugum rockshelter due to the active erosion of the archaeological record.

In this study, the author focuses on the reality of the improperness of prison as something that does not suit the values of Pancasila, especially the one which talks about 'just and civilized humanity'. The author would like to explore the motives and causes why the government does not guarantee welfare for the prisoners. This research uses a qualitative approach, with a literature study as a data collection method. The author tries to see the reality of humanity and the motives that underlie the guidance of prisoners through the point of view of phenomenological philosophy. This study concludes that the Indonesian government has not been able to ensure human values for the prisoners. Improperness of the prison such as the overload of occupants is a sign that the perspective of understanding prisons and inmates is still deviant. Prison is not seen as a place of transformation but as a place of punishment, just like the old understanding of prison. The Indonesian people seem to have not been able to regard prisoners as people with dignity.

UPHOLDING ENVIRONMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS THROUGH JUDICIAL INTERPRETATION OF PEACEFUL ENJOYMENT OF PROPERTY
Authors: Bolaji Abdulkadir
Published: December 2021

Just as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 marked the beginning of contemporary international human rights law and the subsequent adoption of regional human rights instruments, so the Stockholm Declaration of 1972 marked the genesis of a rights-based approach to the protection of environment. Since then, human rights have become a legal weapon exerted in the strive to protect the environment and enhance access to environmental justice. Hence, it is not a mere theoretical discourse that environmental degradation affects the enjoyment of basic human rights. It has now become recognized that human rights such as the right to life and many others can only be enjoyed in a polluted free environment. It is against this background that this paper examines how the right to peaceful enjoyment of property as guaranteed in international and regional instruments on human rights has been construed to foster environmental protection. To achieve this, interpretations through decided cases are examined for a proper evaluation of judicial attitude and willingness in this respect.

Published: December 2021

The main method of enrichment of polymetallic ores is flotation. The peculiarity of solid mineral processing is the preliminary preparation of raw materials. The essence of this stage is the grinding and sorting of raw materials in order to fully reveal the useful substance from the waste rock. The article is devoted to the study of the effect of electric pulse discharges on the grinding of ore containing non-ferrous metals. This article proposes an electro-pulse method for obtaining raw materials for subsequent flotation enrichment of ore in order to extract valuable components. This method of grinding ores is based on the use of the energy of a pulsed shock wave that occurs as a result of a spark electric discharge in a liquid. An experimental electric pulse unit with a crushing unit is described. When electrohydraulic action on solid particles in an aqueous solution increases the intensity of the grinding process under the influence of additional pressure associated with cavitation. The object of the study was the natural ore of the Akbastau mine. Ore grinding operations were performed at various parameters of the electric pulse plant. The dependences of ore grinding on the electrical and geometric parameters of the electric pulse installation, the value of the interelectrode gap on the switching device, the pulse repetition frequency and discharge energies are determined. It is found that with increasing discharge energies introduced into the discharge channel, the fraction of the crushed fraction increases.
Displacement fields of a Cuboid crystal in a Photoacoustic Cell: Mathematical aspects
Authors: Sarode A.P. , Mahajan O.H.
Published: December 2021

Photo acoustic effect is popular due to a minimal sample preparation during execution, the ability to examine scattering and opaque sample along with the capability to access depth profile. These features enable Photoacoustic spectroscopy to be used in depth-resolved characterization of solids. Thermal interaction is a basic perspective in solid state physics research regarding industrial devices and components. It is a key factor of fabrication and performance of such devices and components. Today, crystalline solids are widely studied due to their wide scientific and industrial applications. Displacement field resulting in thermal stressesis one of the important aspects of premature failure of industrial components and devices. In this paper, displacement fields in photoacoustic effect with solid cuboid crystal are mathematically presented. According to our opinion, displacement fields in photoacoustic effect in three dimensional analysis are not reported earlier. Hence that will be a major contribution of this paper. For a simple cuboid homogeneous crystal kept in a photoacoustic cell, an airy stress function is determined based on laser interaction with surface of the crystal. By applying the finite Marchi-Fasulo integral transform method within the crystal size limitations, displacement field is exactly determined.
Mathematical modeling of dispersed media flows in the presence of nucleation, coagulation and phase transitions
Authors: Amanbaev T.R. , Tilleuov G.E. , Zuparbekova A.
Published: December 2021

A model of motion of a gas-dispersed medium in the presence of processes of nucleation, coagulation and phase transitions has been constructed. A homogeneous nucleation model is used to describe the nucleation process. It is believed that the process of cluster coagulation occurs due to their Brownian motion. The analysis of the solution of the coagulation equation in the particular case of monodisperse clusters in the presence of a source and sink of particles is carried out. To determine the rate of phase transitions the Hertz-KnudsenLangmuir formula is used. The calculations were carried out on the basis of a quasi-one-dimensional model within the equilibrium approximation (when the velocities and temperatures of the phases coincide). As a result of the study the main properties of the flow of a two-phase mixture in a channel in the presence of nucleation, coagulation, and phase transformations have been established. It is shown that the vapor temperature increases along the channel and reaches the saturation temperature at some distance from the channel entrance. Calculations have shown that the coagulation process has a rather strong effect on the distribution of cluster sizes along the channel.

The atmospheric electric field Ez is the most urgent problem of study of the physics of the atmosphere and the processes occurring in it. The conducted studies show the relationship of the electric field with atmospheric processes. Monitoring its changes is necessary to solve practical problems. This article presents brief characteristics of the installation of the EFM-100 electrostatic fluxmeter of the scientific cosmophysical experimental complex at the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University (ENU) and its experimental data obtained in 2020. The article presents the results of observation of atmospheric-electrical characteristics nearthe Earth's surface and monitoring of the electric field of the atmosphere of the city of Nur-Sultan, in particular, estimates of the variation of the electric field of the surface layer of the atmosphere during sunrise and sunset based on data obtained by the EFM-100 fluxmeter. The comparison of meteorological data with the data of the electric field strength of the atmosphere is given. The analysis of the days and months in September and October 2020, when the conditions of “good weather” were manifested, was carried out. The series of electric field data obtained at other measuring stations show the characteristic periodicity of the electric field behavior. It is established that the value of the atmospheric electric field increases during sunrise with the manifestation of the solar terminator effect. It is interesting to study the relationship between the magnitude of the electric field of the atmosphere and the intensity of the cosmic ray flux, especially in the case of Forbush effects. The data of the ENU ground-based experimental complex allows us to conduct research on the study of atmospheric physics, including atomic electricity, as well as their interaction with cosmic rays and meto-conditions.

The paper investigated modification of the microstructure of the surface layers of alumina ceramics under exposure to electron and ion beams. Electron beam irradiation was performed at accelerating voltage U = 15 kV and beam current of J = 70 A and J = 100 A. Ion irradiation was performed with carbon ions at accelerating voltage of U = 180 keV. The current density and energy density varied in the range of 15–85 A/cm2 and 0.3–1.5 J/cm2, respectively. The amount of energy acting on the ceramic surface depended on the number of pulses N. It is shown that exposure to electron and ion beams changes the microstructure of the irradiated ceramic layer. In general, the effect of exposure is similar for electron and ion irradiation, and it is characterized not only by surface melting, but also by formation of a finer microstructure through the depth of the irradiated layer, which is oriented in the direction of the electron and ion beam exposure. It is shown that crystallizationprocesses in overheated layers of ceramics depend on its type and melting point.

Published: December 2021

A complex method of acoustic-electrical testing of defects in dielectric samples made from cement-sand and cement-glass mixtures is discussed. The paper reports the results of studies of changes in the parameters of electromagnetic responses and their spectra under pulsed deterministic acoustic excitation of model samples with defects in the form of solid-state inclusions. The results of mathematical calculations of the time variation in the stress-strain state induced in a defective dielectric model sample by deterministic acoustic pulse are presented. The relationship is shown between the parameters of the acoustic excitation and the electromagnetic response to the impact in a magnetic field. The study revealed that the specific electrical resistance of the cement-sand and cement-glass mixtures differs significantly. Excitation of electrical double layers by acoustic pulses causes an electromagnetic signal, parameters of which depend on the parameters of the acoustic impact and acoustic and electrical properties of the material. As a result, a reduced specific electrical resistance of the mixture increases its conductivity. The numerical calculation of the propagation of the deterministic acoustic pulse showed that its parameters change when it passes through a defect with acoustic impedance different from that of the mixture used.

Objective: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) provide tumor information in breast cancer. Our objective was to characterize CTCs, and contrasted them with ctDNA PIK3CA mutation in 24 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: CTCs genes were characterized by AdnaTest protocol and ctDNA by digital PCR. Results:  We found CTCs genes in 37.5% and ctDNA PIK3CA mutations in 29.16%. Three cases with CTCs genes had concurrent ctDNA PIK3CA mutations. MUC1 or GA733-2 were found in 4 cases, and 3 of them had concurrent ctDNA PIK3CA. CTCs ALDH1/TWIST1 were found in 2 cases, AKT2 in one and PI3Kα in another, and none had concurrent ctDNA PIK3CA mutations. There was no correlation between CTCs and ctDNA detection. All 3 cases with CTC & cDNA concurrent finding underwent death during follow-up. Conclusion: Infrequent concurrent detection of CTC and ctDNA presence suggests that both represent independent processes in TNBC patients, and could identify worst prognosis cases.

Societal implications of smart cities
Authors: Pinterič Uroš
Published: December 2021

Inteligentne miasta są uważane za istotną koncepcję, stanowiącą pomost pomiędzy technologią a społeczeństwem. Przejmuje ona rezerwy zarządzania w społeczeństwie ludzkim, które mogą być wykorzystane przez różne narzędzia technologiczne, mogące uczyć się wzorców zachowań i odpowiednio dostosowywać różne aspekty życia. Jednak ta koncepcja społeczna napędzana technologią nie bierze pod uwagę jednego z najważniejszych elementów równania ulepszonego zarządzania: człowieka, ludzkiej natury i ludzkiego zachowania. W bardzo małym stopniu lub wcale nie uwzględnia ona również demokratycznych ograniczeń, które mieszczą się w kontekście praw obywatelskich i politycznych. Nie interesuje się też długoterminowymi skutkami wykorzystania inteligentnych technologii dla rozwoju ludzkich umiejętności. W ten sposób artykuł przybiera formę krytyki i dyskusji nad przeoczonymi elementami, które z jednej strony obniżają efektywność (inteligentnych) technologii, a z drugiej jednocześnie redukują potencjał twórczy ludzkiej codzienności. Mimo że idea inteligentnych społeczeństw wydaje się być korzystna, to generalnie, zwłaszcza w skali makro, uważa się, że ogranicza ona potencjał twórczy jednostek nawet do poziomu ich degradacji psychicznej.

Circumstances and outcomes of falls in hospital for adults with communication disability secondary to stroke: A qualitative synthesis
Authors: Sullivan Rebecca , Skinner Ian , Harding Katherine , Hemsley Bronwyn
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Falls are a significant patient safety concern in hospital. Adult patients with stroke, and those with communication disability, are at an increased risk of falls during their hospital admission compared to patients without stroke or communication disability. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review is to determine the circumstances and outcomes of falls in hospitalised patients with communication disability following stroke. METHOD: A qualitative synthesis of 16 papers according to the Generic Reference Model of patient safety. This is a secondary analysis of studies in a systematic review of the association between communication disability after stroke and falls in hospitalised patients. RESULTS: In studies including participants with communication disability, falls commonly occurred at the patient bedside, during the day, and in transfers. However, no studies provided individual or group data specifically detailing the circumstances and outcomes of falls of the included participants with communication disability. CONCLUSION: Research to date provides scant evidence on the circumstances and outcomes of falls in hospital patients with communication disability after stroke.

Published: December 2021

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is coupled with chronic cognitive dysfunction. AD cases are mostly late onset, and genetic risk factors like the Apolipoprotein E ( APOE) play a key role in this process. APOE ɛ2, APOE ɛ3, and APOE ɛ4 are three key alleles in the human APOE gene. For late onset, APOE ɛ4 has the most potent risk factor while APOE ɛ2 plays a defensive role. Several studies suggests that APOE ɛ4 causes AD via different processes like neurofibrillary tangle formation by amyloid-β accumulation, exacerbated neuroinflammation, cerebrovascular disease, and synaptic loss. But the pathway is still unclear that which actions of APOE ɛ4 lead to AD development. Since APOE was found to contribute to many AD pathways, targeting APOE ɛ4 can lead to a hopeful plan of action in development of new drugs to target AD. In this review, we focus on recent studies and perspectives, focusing on APOE ɛ4 as a key molecule in therapeutic strategies.

BACKGROUND: Low back pain is a significant spinal disorder that affects much of the population at some point during their lives. OBJECTIVE: While proper diagnosis is key, diagnosing the underlying cause of low back pain may often be unclear. METHOD: In this review article, we discuss lumbar instability as an etiology of low back pain and its treatment by prolotherapy. RESULTS: Spinal ligaments may be an underlying culprit in the development of lumbar instability with resultant low back pain and associated disorders. CONCLUSION: In these cases, adequate treatment consisting of non-biologic prolotherapy or cellular prolotherapy, including platelet rich plasma (PRP), can be beneficial in restoring spinal stability and resolving chronic low back pain.

BACKGROUND: Ultrasound is increasingly being utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of adhesive capsulitis. OBJECTIVE: To compare the therapeutic effects and advantages of combined handheld ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided intra-articular corticosteroid injection with those of conventional ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. METHODS: A total of 39 patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A patients (n= 19) underwent combined handheld ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided corticosteroid injection and group B patients (n= 20) underwent conventional ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection to the intra-articular space of the shoulder twice. Treatment efficacy was assessed at 2 and 6 weeks after the final injection, based on the verbal numeric pain scale, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, and range of motion. Secondary outcome measures were the accuracy and procedure time. RESULTS: Both injection methods were effective in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. No significant differences in treatment efficacy and injection accuracy were observed between the two groups (p> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed no statistical differences in treatment efficacy between 2 groups. However, the combined use of ultrasound and fluoroscopy can increase the accuracy of injection compared with conventional ultrasound alone.

BACKGROUND: The most commonly used prognostic factors in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are cytogenetic, molecular, and morphological markers. However, AML prognosis is still unfavorable particularly in adults. So, further reliable markers are urgently needed to improve the risk stratification and treatment decisions. CUB domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1; CD318) and endoglin (CD105) are new markers correlated with poor prognosis in different solid tumors, but their role in AML prognosis is not fully evaluated. OBJECTIVES: This work aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of CD318 and CD105 in AML and their impact on the outcomes. METHODS: Sixty-five newly diagnosed AML patients were included in this study. CD318 and CD105 expression was assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Patients were followed up for ∼ 2 years to evaluate the prognostic impact of gene expression on the outcomes. RESULTS: Patients with high CD318 and CD105 showed higher white blood cell (WBC) count, M2 subtype, poor cytogenetic risk, reduced complete remission, and a greater number of deaths compared to low CD318 and CD105. CD318 was correlated with CD105, and both were correlated with WBC count, bone marrow blasts, and peripheral blood blasts. After a follow-up period of up to 24 months, relapse-free survival for high CD318 and CD105 was significantly different (42.1% and 52.6% vs. 64.5% and 58.1% for low CD318 and CD105, respectively). Survival was worse in patients with high CD318 and CD105, as the mean survival time was 13.9 and 13.3 months compared to 24 and 22.7 months in low CD318 and CD105, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: CD318 and CD105 are upregulated in AML patients. Their overexpression was associated with poor response to treatment and poor outcomes. Therefore, CD318 and CD105 can be useful prognostic markers in AML.

Published: December 2021

PURPOSE: To thoroughly evaluate preoperative risk factors for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with knee rheumatoid arthritis (RA) undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS: Clinical data of 106 patients with knee RA who underwent unilateral TKA from August 2014 to October 2020 were collected. All patients received ultrasonic examination of the veins of both lower extremities on the third day after TKA and were divided into DVT and non-DVT groups. The associations between age, gender, body mass index (BMI), history of diabetes/hypertension, common serum lipid levels, indicators related to coagulation function, blood viscosity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and postoperative DVT were statistically compared and analyzed. RESULTS: ESR was significantly correlated with DVT risk after TKA (OR = 1.844, 95% CI = 1.022–2.981, P = 0.019). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed the optimal cut-off point of ESR for predicting DVT was 42 mm/h with a sensitivity of 95.5% and specificity of 66.7%. CONCLUSION: An increased preoperative ESR value is a risk factor for DVT in patients with knee RA following unilateral TKA. Pre-surgery control of ESR level and prevention of postoperative DVT in these patients are worthy of attention.

Published: December 2021

Hippocampal atrophy is a widely used biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the cost, time, and contraindications associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) limit its use. Recent work has shown that a low-cost upper extremity motor task has potential in identifying AD risk. Fifty-four older adults (15 cognitively unimpaired, 24 amnestic mild cognitive impairment, and 15 AD) completed six motor task trials and a structural MRI. Several measures of motor task performance significantly predicted bilateral hippocampal volume, controlling for age, sex, education, and memory. Thus, this motor task may be an affordable, non-invasive screen for AD risk and progression.

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), with cognitive impairment as the main clinical manifestation, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. The assembly of amyloid-β (Aβ) as senile plaques is one of the most well-known histopathological alterations in AD. Several studies reported that cognitive training reduced Aβ deposition and delayed memory loss. However, the long-term benefits of spatial training and the underlying neurobiological mechanisms have not yet been elucidated.

Objective:

To explore the long-term effects of spatial training on AD-related pathogenic processes in APP/PS1 mice.

Methods:

We used Morris water maze (MWM), Open Field, Barnes Maze, western blotting, qPCR, and immunofluorescence.

Results:

One-month MWM training in APP/PS1 mice at 2.5 months of age could attenuate Aβ deposition and decrease the expression of β-secretase (BACE1) and amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) with long-term effects. Simultaneously, regular spatial training increased the expression of synapse-related proteins in the hippocampus. Moreover, MWM training increased adult hippocampal neurogenesis in AD model mice. Nonetheless, cognitive deficits in APP/PS1 transgenic mice at 7 months of age were not attenuated by MWM training at an early stage.

Conclusion:

Our study demonstrates that MWM training alleviates amyloid plaque burden and adult hippocampal neurogenesis deficits with long-term effects in AD model mice.
