The article discusses methods for assessing the thermal bonding stability (TOC) of jet fuels. The importance of determining this indicator for the design and operation of modern and advanced aircraft was noted. It is indicated that the methods used for assessing TOC are indirect, which limits their accuracy and reliability. The article gives the author's expert assessment of the correlation of the method indicators with the operational properties of fuels. Promising areas for the development of methods for measuring the amount of deposits include modern optical research methods: spectroscopic reflectometry, laser ellipsometry, as well as direct measurement of micro-amounts of deposits on control elements.

Стаття присвячена дослідженню розрахунку витрат на видобуток вуглеводнів. Розглянуто методи розрахунків собівартості у вітчизняній та закордонній практиці. Проаналізовано структуру нормативів, які є основою планування витрат на підприємствах нафтогазового комплексу. Досліджено ефективність застосування діючих методів планування витрат на видобуток вуглеводнів на вітчизняних підприємства, зокрема встановлено, що найбільшу частку у нормативах займають постійні витрати на видобуток вуглеводнів, які розраховують виходячи із кількості свердловин на родовищі. Таким чином, діюча методика розрахунку витрат на видобуток вуглеводнів не відображає реальності витрат видобутку із різних родовищ, так як не враховує особливостей видобутку із старих та нових родовищ, а отже не враховує градуювання легковидобувних та важковидобувних вуглеводнів.
Adaptive representations for improving evolvability, parameter tuning, and parallelization of gene expression programming
Authors: Browne Nigel P. A.
Published: May 2021

Gene Expression Programming (GEP) is a genetic algorithm that evolves linear chromosomes encoding nonlinear (tree-like) structures. In the original GEP algorithm, the genome size is problem specific and is determined through trial and error.
In this work, a novel method for adaptively tuning the genome size is presented. The approach introduces new mutation, transposition and recolI)bination operators that enable a population of heterogeneously structured chromosomes, something the original GEP algorithm does not support. This permits crossbreeding between normally incompatible individuals, speciation within a population, increases the evolvability of the representations and enhances parallel GEP.
To test our approach an assortment of problems were used, including symbolic regression, classification and parameter optimization. Our experimental results show that our approach provides a solution for the problem of self-adaptively tuning the genome size of GEP's representation.
'Victims' of the status quo: Canada's ongoing marginalization of sex workers
Authors: Stanyon Kendra
Published: May 2021

The conflict between a sex worker's natural right to dignity, and the scope of control she can exert over her own body - her rightful property - plays a central part in much of the research and debate surrounding the commercialization of sex, and there is little consensus as to which natural right is of greater fundamental importance. This conflict over the morality and legal rights of sex workers is plainly evident in Canada's own treatment of the issue; spanning a period of over twenty-five years, the research and reports on prostitution commissioned by the federal government constitute several thousand pages of empirical evidence documenting the harm caused by the criminalization of prostitution, yet no changes have been made to the country's Criminal Code provisions since 1986. Throughout these government reports and the testimony of dozens of participants in the 2005 hearings held by the country's Subcommittee on Solicitation Laws, the same conflict of language and ideology is repeated; regardless of the time and location, conversations about prostitution within Canada follow an almost predictable pattern of spinning wheels and little progress.

In light of the new opportunity to effect change in Canada's approach to prostitution law, this paper examines the signs and significations evinced in the language of Canada's present laws, and traces the legislative history of sex work in the country as well as the cyclical nature of the observations and conclusions drawn by the many federally-appointed committees charged with addressing the topic. Select witness testimony from hearings conducted by the most recent committee to address the state of prostitution, the Subcommittee on Solicitation Laws, is also reproduced and analyzed. Using the opposing perspectives of victim and rights discourse as a loose framework, particular analytical focus is placed on the language used and ideological beliefs expressed within both the formal reports and testimony. Finally, the core conflicts revealed in Canada's hearings and formal reports on prostitution are placed within a larger body of theory on human agency and the physical body for the purpose of emphasizing the unequivocal necessity of respecting sex workers' autonomy, first and foremost, in any future determination of sex work's place within the social and legal fabric of the country.
Accommodating Machine-To-Machine Traffic In IEEE 802.15.4: The Prioritized Wait Time Approach
Authors: Azimi Vida
Published: May 2021

Machine-to-Machine communication (M2M) refers to automated applications executing on smart devices or machines that communicate through a network with little or no human intervention at all. By enabling smart devices to communicate directly with one another, M2M communications technology has the potential to radically change the world around us and the way that we interact with objects. Many applications can benefit from M2M communications, such as transportation, health care, smart energy production, transmission, and distribution, logistics, city automation and manufacturing, security and safety, and others. This work describes an approach to implement M2M communications using the well-known IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee communications standard for low data rate wireless personal area networks. In order to achieve better performance for M2M traffic, we propose some improvements in the protocol. Our simulation results confirm the validity
Effects of plasma membrane cholesterol content on ultrasound and microbubble mediated sonoporation
Authors: Yatsenko Tetyana
Published: May 2021

Ultrasonically-stimulated microbubbles can increase cell membrane permeability and allow otherwise impermeable molecules to enter the intracellular space of cells; a phenomenon known as sonoporation. In this thesis, the effect of plasma membrane cholesterol content on modulating ultrasound-microbubble induced cell permeabilization and viability was investigated in an in vitro cell suspension model. Breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) with modified cholesterol content were exposed to ultrasound and microbubbles at varying acoustic pressures. The effect on cells was assessed through uptake of FITC-dextran (70kDa) and cell viability (propidium iodide marker) using flow cytometry. Ultrasound and microbubble induced permeabilization of cells depended on cholesterol content of the plasma membrane. The highest permeability of ~30% was achieved in unmodified cells compared to ~15% for cholesterol depleted cells at 1.5 MPa peak negative pressure. This study indicated that both addition and removal of cholesterol from cell plasma membrane results in decrease of ultrasound and microbubble induced permeabilization.

Evolving Architecture
Authors: Mehdi Mohammed Raza
Published: May 2021

The way one uses and operates within a space will continue to change over time as needs and desires evolve. However, the success of a space is often dependent on several programmatic elements that enable an intended use. Thus, when looking at changes in needs and desires, time is a factor that can impact a building’s program and function. Subsequently, architecture as a notion cannot afford to be static. Therefore, it is evident that there is a need for an evolving architecture with programmatic elements which can be continually altered as required. Through this, a buildings ability to evolve will then allow it to facilitate any inevitable change over extended periods; ensuring that architecture is not stationary in time. With an evolving architecture being the thesis position, this project argues for an architectural form that can constantly be transformed to accommodate a function and its changing programmatic needs.
Piecewise Constant Modeling and Tracking of Systematic Risk in Financial Market
Authors: Rajbhandary Triloke
Published: May 2021

The objective of this thesis is to study the time-varying systematic risk in capital market represented by beta. By using statistical hypothesis testing, we show that beta changes in a piecewise constant pattern in which the changes are governed by triggering economic events. This pattern of beta is different from previously modeled time-varying patterns in literature, such as random walk and mean-reverting models and is consistent with the efficient market hypothesis.

We also present a new modeling technique based on Poisson process to represent piecewise constant beta. We develop a new tracking algorithm based on Kalman Filter in which Bayes' selection criteria is incorporated to track piecewise constant beta. Our simulation results show that our proposed tracking method outperforms the traditional random walk and mean reverting model based Kalman Filter tracking. Our empirical case studies also show that our method is efficient in capturing the significant risk changes which are attributed to economic events.
Activated Fc receptor supramolecular complex
Authors: Petrenko Veronika
Published: May 2021

Phagocytosis is a part of immune response. IgG opsonized particles of greater than 1 um are recognized by Fcy receptors on the surface of professional phagocytes such as macrophages and neutrphils. IgGs are part of the immune system and is a cognate ligand of the Fc receptor. Live Cell Affinity Receptor chromatography (LARC) was used to capture an activated Fcy receptor supramolecular complex from the surface of live human neutrophils, by allowing IgG opsonized microbeads to bind to the cell surface.

The cells were burst in PBS, collected and digested along side with controls. Isolated FcyR complex was analysed by LC-MS/MS. Fc and control experiment lists of SEQUEST correlated proteins were screened for a total cumulative score of at least 2400 and a minimum of three different peptides. This served as the basis of protein involvement in the FcyR mediated phagocytosis, which were then searched with iHOP for their interaction partners. Gathered interactions were then exported and Cytoscape, Osprey and String algorithms were used to generate network of interacting proteins. PAKs2-4 and PAK6 were detected with LARC. PAK2 and PAK4 were predicted by algorithms to have a central role in particle uptake. From Western Blotting, endogenous PAKs2-4 and PAK6 were detected in murine macrophages. Immunofluorescent staining was then used to verify the presence of these proteins in the forming phagosome and showed localization of PAKs to the phagosome. The same effect was observed with transfection of GFP constructs of PAKs. Upon transfection with dominant negative PAKs reduction in phagocytosis was observed.

Authors: Simpson Rob
Published: May 2021

This research focuses on energy-related initiatives implemented by one big-box retail chain in Canada. Through analysis of energy reduction strategies, the study compares the energy performance of two stores, one of which operated with conventional design features and the other which was operated with energy-related upgrades.

The results of this research conclude that the store constructed with advanced technological solutions outperformed the other in terms of energy-use intensity by 44%. The research also reveals that premium costs related to the advanced technologies were effective choices. For example, the upgraded mechanical strategy showed an ROI of 52% and a simple payback of 2 years.

Finally, the research analyzes initiatives that are currently under evaluation by some of North America’s largest retail companies. The results show further energy efficiency opportunities in areas such as retail lighting and plug load reduction strategies, with each offering further reductions of 3% and 2-4% respectively.

This project explores the factors that come into play in the assessment of a refugee claim put forth by unaccompanied/separated minors when arriving in Canada. Designed as an exploratory research, the study delves into the procedural and evidentiary issues which emerge when such children cross our borders. The substantial literature that has emerged over the last decades on the issue serves to inform and guide the process of determining what has been accomplished, as well as what needs to be improved upon. Informed by the American and European models, the goal of this research is to sketch a seemingly Canadian model which would outline step by step the protocol in place, and would define our government’s role and actions in terms of addressing the plight of these children as they cross our border.
A capacity assessment and legislative review of the Clean Water Act in Ontario : past, present and future
Authors: Torok Andrea
Published: May 2021

Historically an unequal distribution of capacity existed among local Municipalities and Conservation Authorities with regards to protecting water in Ontario, as well there was no specific legislation pertaining solely to source water protection. The aim of this research project is to present and analyze through a comparative assessment, the financial capacity requirements and the technical, institutional, social and political capacity progress observed among the 19 Source Protection Regions across Ontario in terms of protecting source water following the Walkerton event and the enactment of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The results indicate that through the enactment of the CWA, capacity building initiatives have taken place through a top-down model with the provincial governments' guidance, direction and support to local municipalities and CAs. When the provincial government takes control and provides capacity related assistance, the lower level municipal and CA governments become regulated; functioning more effectively and with a level of consistency across the province.
Experimental Measurement of Soret Coefficient of Binary Hydorcarbon Mixtures
Authors: Rahman Md A.
Published: May 2021

Measurement of diffusion coefficients is essential for simulation and prediction of oil reservoirs. Recently, a new experimental set-up has been built at Ryerson University to measure the transport coefficient of transparent liquid mixtures. Laser-based optical digital interferometry techniques using a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer have been used for measuring the diffusion coefficients. This method is non-intrusive, highly accurate, and can provide a detailed 2-D visualization of temperature and concentration fields. Five binary liquid mixtures of Decane (C10H22) - Isobutylbenzene (IBB), Decane (C10H22) - 1,2,3,4 Tetrahydronaphthalene (THN), Dodecane (C12H26) - Isobutylbenzene (IBB), Dodecane (C12H26) - 1,2,3,4 Tetrahydronaphthalene (THN) and Isobutylbenzene (IBB) - 1,2,3,4 Tetrahydronaphtha-lene (THN) have been selected. The mixtures have been prepared from pure C10H22, C12H26, IBB and THN for 50% mass fractions. These five binary mixtures are representatives of binary interactions between alkane, one-ring aromatic and two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons. The thermal designs of the diffusion cell, as well as the data analyze method, have been improved. A comparison of experimental data with theoretical analysis based on the Firoozabadi model for measuring thermodiffusion coefficient and Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR-EOS) for measuring the physical properties have been conducted. Experimental results showed a maximum deviation of less than 2% for IBB- C12H26 and THN-IBB and 9% for THN-C12H26 from the available benchmark results. Accurate knowledge of refractive index is highly relevant to correlations with concentration, temperature, wavelength and pressure in non-intrusive experiments carried out with transparent fluids. It can be used for the identification and characterization of pure materials and for the measurement of concentration of multi-component mixtures. In this current scope, refractive indices of five binary mixtures C10H22-IBB, C10H22-THN, C12H26-IBB, C12H26-THN and IBB-THN have been measured using both the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and a multi-wavelength Abbemat refractometer. Temperature and concentration coefficients of refractive indices, or so-called contrast factors, as well as their individual correlation to calculate refractive indices have been presented for a wide range of visible spectrums such as 436 nm to 657 nm. Comparison with available literature and mixing rules shows that new correlations can predict the experimental data with deviations of less than 0.001.
Cobalt or cerulean? interpreting colour trends for the Canadian fashion industry
Authors: Guestrin Julia
Published: May 2021

The Canadian apparel industry faces many difficult decisions during product development, and selecting a colour palette for an upcoming season can be a significant challenge. With no specific Canadian colour forecasting services available, Canadian trend directors must rely on European and American forecasts for their colour trends. This study on colour trends and preferences demonstrated how colours that are forecast for the United States and Europe are adapted for Canada and the diverse target markets within it. Six case studies based on interviews with trend directors from Canadian retailers explore the methods used to develop seasonal colour palettes. These case studies reveal each retailer’s customers’ attitudes towards colour trends and colour preferences, and then compare them to the rest of the retail market. The results will allow Canadian fashion professionals—and those working in small markets anywhere—to better understand how to develop seasonal palettes for their customers, thereby increasing sales and profit.

Authors: Gomes Junior Plinio Pereira , Bezerra Alan Cezar , Ferraz Edimir Xavier Leal
Published: May 2021

O semiárido brasileiro possui mais de 1.260 municípios, formado pelos Estados do nordeste e norte de Minas Gerais. Devido a período de estiagem prolongada, os moradores armazenam água indiscriminadamente, favorecendo a proliferação do Aedes aegypti, transmissor de arboviroses. Portanto, objetivou-se analisar a distribuição dos casos confirmados, bem como, número de ovos coletados por ovitrampas, correlacionado-os com variáveis meteorológicas, em um município de região semiárida. Coletou-se dados secundários a respeito do número de casos, número de ovos por ovitrampa (infestação), variáveis meteorológicas referentes ao período de 2010 a 2013. Em seguida, confeccionou-se um banco de dados espacial e subsequente análise de distribuição espacial com método do Inverso da Distância (IDW), além da análise estatística de correlação entre as variáveis meteorológicas, número de casos confirmados e infestação. Observou-se que a correlação entre temperatura e umidade, com casos confirmados, foi considerada fraca, enquanto a precipitação em 2012 apresentou uma correlação forte. Porém, estas mesmas variáveis foram consideradas fraca em 2013. Em relação a distribuição espacial dos casos confirmados, houve uma concentração nos bairros de maior densidade populacional. Assim, a geotecnologia possibilita a identificação de áreas de risco, auxiliando na construção de estratégias eficientes.
Lost and Found: Piwi and Argonaute Pathways in Flatworms
Authors: Fontenla Santiago , Rinaldi Gabriel , Tort Jose F.
Published: May 2021

Platyhelminthes comprise one of the major phyla of invertebrate animals, inhabiting a wide range of ecosystems, and one of the most successful in adapting to parasitic life. Small non-coding RNAs have been implicated in regulating complex developmental transitions in model parasitic species. Notably, parasitic flatworms have lost Piwi RNA pathways but gained a novel Argonaute gene. Herein, we analyzed, contrasted and compared the conservation of small RNA pathways among several free-living species (a paraphyletic group traditionally known as ‘turbellarians’) and parasitic species (organized in the monophyletic clade Neodermata) to disentangle possible adaptations during the transition to parasitism. Our findings showed that complete miRNA and RNAi pathways are present in all analyzed free-living flatworms. Remarkably, whilst all ‘turbellarians’ have Piwi proteins, these were lost in parasitic Neodermantans. Moreover, two clusters of Piwi class Argonaute genes are present in all ‘turbellarians’. Interestingly, we identified a divergent Piwi class Argonaute in free living flatworms exclusively, which we named ‘Fliwi’. In addition, other key proteins of the Piwi pathways were conserved in ‘turbellarians’, while none of them were detected in Neodermatans. Besides Piwi and the canonical Argonaute proteins, a flatworm-specific class of Argonautes (FL-Ago) was identified in the analyzed species confirming its ancestrallity to all Platyhelminthes. Remarkably, this clade was expanded in parasitic Neodermatans, but not in free-living species. These phyla-specific Argonautes showed lower sequence conservation compared to other Argonaute proteins, suggesting that they might have been subjected to high evolutionary rates. However, key residues involved in the interaction with the small RNA and mRNA cleavage in the canonical Argonautes were more conserved in the FL-Agos than in the Piwi Argonautes. Whether this is related to specialized functions and adaptations to parasitism in Neodermatans remains unclear. In conclusion, differences detected in gene conservation, sequence and structure of the Argonaute family suggest tentative biological and evolutionary diversifications that are unique to Platyhelminthes. The remarkable divergencies in the small RNA pathways between free-living and parasitic flatworms indicate that they may have been involved in the adaptation to parasitism of Neodermatans.

Published: May 2021

Shrimp aquaculture is an essential economic venture globally, but the industry faces numerous challenges, especially pathogenic infections. As invertebrates, shrimp rely mainly on their innate immune system for protection. An increasing number of studies have shown that ubiquitination plays a vital role in the innate immune response to microbial pathogens. As an important form of posttranslational modification (PTM), both hosts and pathogens have exploited ubiquitination and the ubiquitin system as an immune response strategy to outwit the other. This short review brings together recent findings on ubiquitination and how this PTM plays a critical role in immune modulation in penaeid shrimps. Key findings inferred from other species would help guide further studies on ubiquitination as an immune response strategy in shrimp-pathogen interactions.

Published: May 2021

Decolonisation of knowledge enhances Africa’s contribution to the global knowledge commons, augmenting both theory from the global South and its universal value. In this paper, I apply this insight to affirmative action policies. Affirmative action claims to facilitate socio-economic mobility and that this avoids the most extremely perverse inequalities. owever, the gross brutalities of conquest, dispossession, racial genocide, slavery, slave trading, colonialism and apartheid demand a decolonial critique of affirmative action. This applies not merely to affirmative action as policy, but perhaps much more significantly, as practice. Indeed, I reject affirmative action for South Africa, if not for the entire globe (the latter position would raise an argument that is beyond immediate focus). This personal ‘decolonial turn’ from affirmative action foreshadows my advocacy of such concepts as ‘wholeness’ and ‘reparation’, which I conceptualise as a return of something to its original condition plus satisfaction for the interim rupture. Wholeness and reparation in this particular setting require replacement, atonement, restoration and restitution to remedy the sense and reality of injury flowing from the gross brutalities listed earlier. I argue that such concepts are the ideal remedy for the South African condition and need that my analysis details. This move from affirmative action to reparation affirms the inside-out posture of decoloniality, insistent as it is on African agency, on ‘centring’ Africa and on ‘provincialising’ the exogenous.

The purpose of this research is to investigate and build a model of the influence of product knowledge, product quality, and level of religiosity through the corporate image in increasing intention to use Islamic banking products in small and medium enterprises that support halal tourism. The development of halal tourism should be an opportunity for Islamic banks to support the development of halal tourism. To increase economic growth in Indonesia through Islamic banking, Islamic banks must further increase public intention to use their products and services. This research is associative, and the population used was business actors supporting halal tourism in Lombok. Data collection used a survey method with questionnaires distributed to 200 respondents. The questionnaires were then processed and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Amos 22 software. The results of this study are that the image of Islamic banking has no positive effect on the intention to use Islamic banking products, religiosity has a positive and significant effect on the intention to use Islamic banking products, and product quality has a positive and significant effect on the intention to use Islamic banking products.

Published: May 2021

Breast cancer (BC) is the foremost cause of mortality associated to female cancer among the world. Fibroadenomas are one of the most common
benign breast diseases, Radiologically, broadenomas appear as a slightly homogenous, lobulated, isoechoic or hypoechoic solid mass. The
objective of the study is to present the broadenoma characteristics observed at Mediclinic city hospital, Dubai, UAE. Therefore, we conducted a
retrospective observational cross-sectional study to identify the characteristics of broadenoma with total of 116 patients from 2014 to 2019. All
116 cases were females, and diagnosed with broadenoma between the ages of 15 to 60 with a Bi-RADS score of 3 to 5. Patients were followed up
till 6 months. 28 (20.74 %) of the broadenomas were stable sized, size growth observed in 2 (1.48 %), size growth stabilised after 6 months in 2
(1.48 %), 74 (54.81 %) broadenomas were surgically excised. Our study reported Complex broadenoma and Complex broadenoma patients
with complex features like atypical hyperplasia, Atypical lobular hyperplasia enhances the risk of causing breast cancer. Additionally, study has
demonstrated that, surgical removal of complex broadenomas and broadenomas with complex features is the best way to reduce the risk of
carcinoma

Introduction: The frequent and widespread use of imaging in clinical practice, particularly CT, has led to a steep increase in incidental ndings of
asymptomatic solitary pulmonary nodules. In this situation, histocytopathological analysis is needed to conrm the diagnosis by CTguided biopsy
/ FNAC. So, the researcher purposively, designed this study. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of CT-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration
Cytology and Core Needle Biopsies of Solitary Lung Lesions. CT-uoroscopy guidance helps in this process by accurate needle positioning thus
increase the success rate. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at the Department of Radiology & Imaging in
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, during January 2017 to January 2019.Atotal of 270 patients who
were referred to the Department of Radiology& Imaging for the evaluation of suspicious solitary lung lesions after the detection of a solitary
pulmonary nodule in X-ray or CT scan, were included in this study. The results of CT uoroscopy–guided biopsy and FNAC for the included
patients were analyzed to determine the diagnostic accuracy, complication rates, and independent risk factors for diagnostic failure and severe
pneumothorax in this study. The factors related to the patients' solitary lesions, and procedures were evaluated by univariate analyses using the twosided Student t test for numeric values and Chi-squared test for categorical values where p<0.05 considered as signicant. Statistical analysis were
performed using SPSS, version-23.0.Results: Diagnostic accuracy rate was 95.86%, failure was 4.14%, the overall sensitivity was 92.96%,
specicity was 85.23% and the statistically signicant risk factors wereage (p=0.001), sex(p=0.001), smoking stats(p=0.001)
emphysema(p=0.001),benign lesions(p=0.001),positioning of the patient for the procedure(p=0.001),location of the lesion(p=0.001) lesion
size(p=0.001) pneumothorax (p=0.001) and length from the pleura to the lesion of 1.5 cm or greater,(p=0.001).Pneumothorax requiring drainage
occurred in 1.48% of patients. The potential risk factors for pneumothorax requiring drainage were age of 73 years, the presence of emphysema,
lesion size ≤ 2.0 cm and length from pleura to lesion of ≥ 1.5 cm. The major complications were being observed pneumothorax 15(5.63%),
haemoptysis16 (6.01%), and hemothorax 03(1.12%).Conclusion: CT-Fluoroscopy Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology and biopsy has a
high diagnostic accuracy; complication rates were acceptable and comparable to those of previous studies.
Physician expert in diabetes is the natural team leader for managing diabetic patients with foot complications. A position statement of the Italian Diabetic Foot Study Group
Authors: Anichini, R.
Published: May 2021

Diabetic Foot Syndrome (DFS) is a complex disease to be managed by a Multi Disciplinary Team (MDT). Nevertheless, a Team Leader (TL) should be designated to collaborate with members of the MDT in a patient-orientated approach. A TL should know and manage diabetes, related complications and comorbidities. The TL should have deep knowledge of peripheral neuropathy and arterial disease and be able to diagnose and manage foot infections, including prompt surgical treatment when needed. In Italy, after the pioneering phase in which diabetologists began managing medical and surgical aspects of DFS to fill unmet needs, nowadays there is a network of Diabetic Foot (DF) clinics managed by diabetologists. Italy is one of the countries belonging to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) with the lowest amputation rate in diabetic patients. In addition to the special attention to the care of diabetes, the unique expertise of diabetologists involved in DF management may have been a contributing factor. They all share a “patient centered model” of care mainly related to their internal medicine background and have skills in podiatric surgery to manage the specific needs of DF patients with acute or chronic conditions in a timely manner. In Italy, specific training courses and university master programs have been developed in recent years, to prepare internists (diabetologists/endocrinologists) to become TL’s. This has allowed DF care to move from the initial pioneering phase to a more structured phase, with the creation of specific pathways and roles.
