The study presents use of methods of multidimensional comparative analysis to assess the health status of the population by voivodships. Data for the analysis are reproduced from the CSO. An assessment of the differences in health was made using Ward’s method. The best results were obtained in the group bringing together the voivodships: Zachodniopomorskie, Śląskie, Mazowieckie, Łódzkie, Pomorskie and Dolnośląskie. In the voivodship group the author observed the smallest number of high blood pressure and rheumatoid arthritis cases, as well as the most favorable situation for the prevention, among others expressed by the number of women performing mammography. The voivodships characterize by the highest spending on health care from the budget of local governments per 1 thousand inhabitants.
Cases in Ancestral Origins in Micro Tribes in Nigeria: The Discrimination Against Ndueze and Ewolokpo Families in Abbi, Delta State
Authors: Onoyemakpo J. A. , Enomah S.O. , Okwelum Chukudi O.
Published: October 2023

The law of the 1999 Constitution which is substantially the same with the repealed 1979 Constitution has made bold attempts, addressing the overarching problem of discrimination on the basis of birth, clan, tribal and ancestral origins. Tribal and ancestral origins in Abbi have captured our attention in this study which adopts the doctrinal method. The study seeks to confront and interrogate the ethnic and ancestral basis and grounds for the fierce discrimination against Umu-Ndueze and Umu-Ewolokpo families of Echala quarters of Abbi in Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. The drive of the study is informed by the legal methodologies through which the scrimmages are fought in courts of law without the protagonist ‘bending backwards’ to consider the evidence upon which the cases are built in the light of the brotherhood that had existed amongst the kindred families of Abbi, since time out of human memory, and the currency of the 1999 Constitution of the Federation of Nigeria on such issues. The study also underscores the evidence that the antagonists have brought to bear on the disputes in the courts in defence of the discrimination in the light of the history of Abbi which had been constructed in recent times by Abbi native writers based on traditional history and evidence and colonial intelligence reports and accounts. The study finds that deliberate attempts are being made by power elites to distort the history of Abbi people by the nature of the tendencies of the disputants and the drummers of the dance steps of the disputants have been clearly identified in Military and Civilian elites that gain prominence in the post colonial era in Abbi. Mere occupation of tribal, ancestral and kindred thrones and offices which do not yield much economic or financial transformation of the disputants cannot be said to be behind the crab-fights or kettles of fish. Abbi, in recent times, is not known to have grown its traditional and political leadership because of this tendency of power elites in self-destruction and self-deprecation. It is found that Abbi by nature is now disparate in orientation and self-divisive against the commensality that informed it earliest patriarchs’ endeavours. The discrimination against Umu-Ndueze and Umu-Ewolokpo families is largely caused by this tendency than any endemic ancestral divisions between the parties which founded the community many years ago.

Srećko Stopić: Synthesis of metallic nanosized particles by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis
Authors: Stopić Milena
Published: October 2023

Nanotechnology belongs to the key innovative technologies for powder production. Ultrasonic spray pyrolysis is a versatile method for the formation of nanosized particles of metals, oxides and composites. This work deals with Ag, Cu and Au nanoparticles formed by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis using the horizontal and vertical reactor. Furthermore, a direct synthesis of Ru-TiO2 and RuO2-TiO2 nanoparticles with the core and shell structure was investigated. The molar fractions of precursors, solvent type, and the process temperature play the crucial role in the formation of core and shell structures. Moreover, the influence of the reaction parameters (temperature, residence time, solution concentration and ultrasonic frequency) on the morphological characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles was studied. A decrease in the solution concentration decreases the final nanoparticle size. An increase in temperature from 150°C to 1000°C leads from an irregular form to a more spherical one. Subsequently, a model of metallic nanoparticle formation from an aerosol droplet could be proposed. Using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis, ideal spherical metallic particles were obtained at temperatures above the melting point. A scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) was used for the on-line determination of nanoparticle size distribution. The collection of nanosized particles was performed in an electrostatic field. The scale up of the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method was successfully applied for the synthesis of silver powder from a water solution of silver nitrate.

Developing Cocrfenimox High Entropy Alloys Using Commodity Powders By Powder Injection Moulding
Authors: Meza A. , Barbosa A. , Yang X. , Tabares E. , Torralba J.M.
Published: October 2023

High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) have increasingly attracted the scientific community’s attention due to their unique microstructures and mechanical performance. However, one of the HEAs’ main drawbacks to being developed by powder metallurgy is the need for prealloyed powders with the specific composition of the HEA, which increases the overall cost. Thus, in this work, commercial commodity powders like Ni625, CoCrF75, or 316L were employed to manufacture HEAs by Powder Injection Moulding (PIM). These powders were mixed with a multi-component binder to produce sustainable feedstocks using a combination of low CO2-emitting and water-soluble polymers. The critical solids content was determined, and the rheological properties, debinding conditions, and sintering parameters were adjusted to obtain samples with low porosity. In addition, all PIM stages were thoroughly characterized to control the porosity of the end parts and to ensure a single FCC solid solution with promising mechanical properties in the developed CoCrFeNiMox-type HEAs.

Published: October 2023

Virtual design of additively manufactured AlCoNiFe alloys enables optimization of material performance required at elevated operational temperatures. Compositional tailoring of the material leads to a complex mixture of stable and metastable phase structures, which affect the engineering material properties. This focuses on the micromechanical modelling of AlCoNiFe alloy microstructures with crystal plasticity by utilizing preceding material design steps with Calphad analysis for the alloys suggested by neural network decision making. We evaluate key aspects of the material behavior, such as strength/strain hardening and fatigue responses.

Published: October 2023

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is dominating Additive Manufacturing of metals in equipment manufacturers, research and applications. Since LPBF has still limitations in terms of geometries and materials as well as in productivity, sinter-based additive manufacturing (SBAM) processes such as Metal Binder Jetting (MBJ) or Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) are becoming increasingly important. Furthermore, new processes such as MoldJet (MJ) or Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM) continue to enter the market and attract widespread attention due to their promising properties. At the same time, it is becoming apparent that there is still a need for intensive development in accompanying processes such as heat treatment and sinter simulation. In this review, the status of the most important sinter-based processes is highlighted and compared with LPBF. In addition, this paper outlines future development trends and the market potential of the various SBAM processes.
Effect Of Process Gas Composition On The Characteristics Of Atomised UNS S32760 Duplex Stainless Steels Powders
Authors: Pennacchio Antonio , Simone Gobber Federico , Actis Grande Marco
Published: October 2023

Super duplex stainless steels (SDSS) combine the advantages of ferritic and austenitic steels and reach an excellent combination of mechanical and corrosion properties. In addition, high-level mass fractions of chromium, molybdenum, and intermediate nitrogen mass fractions have enabled the higher Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number of SDSS. One of the main goals of the research activity is to evaluate the possible nitrogen variation into the UNS S32760 (X2CrNiMoCuWN25-7-4, AISI F55, 1.4501) super duplex stainless steel powders produced by Vacuum induction melting Inert Gas Atomization (VIGA) (starting from metals scraps and wastes) with two different melt chamber gas atmospheres, Ar or N2. Another study objective concerns the influence of different atomisation gas, Ar or N2 (in combination with the two different melt chamber atmospheres), on powder properties. The identification of the optimal gas process parameters necessary to obtain AISI F55 powders with the correct chemistry composition, especially in terms of nitrogen content, is essential for any subsequent process techniques (L-PBF, 3D printing, MIM, …) to get the best pitting resistance and a good balance in the α ferrite/austenite phase, crucial for the mechanical properties. Therefore, after sieving, the effect of the different gas process parameters on the characteristics of the final powder, in terms of granulometry, morphology, microstructure, chemical composition (also taking into account light elements such as N, O, H, C, and S) and rheology, was investigated.

Published: October 2023

The use of recyclable, non-toxic and non-critical alloying elements has become increasingly important in the last years. In particular, the volatile prices of Ni and Cu, and the increasing demand for these elements from the electromobility sector can eventually boost the prices, eliminating the price-competitiveness advantage of PM-steels. This work shows the newest advances in the investigation of PM-steels produced from more sustainable base powder alternatives (such as AstCrS), combined with Fe-Mn-Si-based masteralloys (i.e. a hybrid-alloy approach). Chemical analysis, CCT diagrams and mechanical properties are presented for steels with different hybrid compositions, sintered and heat-treated under different conditions. The results show how, by properly adapting the starting materials and sintering conditions and by combination with sinter hardening treatments, the use of more sustainable alloy compositions could be extended to additional PM application areas.
Iron Ore as a Suitable Candidate for AM: Relation between Rheology and Spreadability
Authors: Quilter Connor , Head Michael , Neveu Aurélien , Black Kate , Francqui Filip
Published: October 2023

Powder bed-based methods are common in additive manufacturing (AM), where successive thin layers are created using a ruler or rotating cylinder. The homogeneity of the layers determines the mechanical quality of the built parts. However, the layer quality is directly related to the spreading properties of the feedstock, which relies mainly on the cohesiveness and rheology of the powder. Despite wide availability, iron ore has never been considered a suitable feedstock material for AM. If a viable iron ore feedstock could be produced for AM, it would enable the manufacture of bespoke agglomerates which could be used in blast furnaces to produce steel. This could reduce the thermal budget and considerably lower CO2 emissions in the steel sector. In this study, the spreadability of iron ore powders has been evaluated in a binder jet printer and correlated with its flowability and rheological properties evaluated with a rotating drum method.
New Challenges In The Development Of Hybrid Catalytic Feedstock Based On 316L Stainless Steel Master Alloys
Authors: Naranjo J.A. , Perez G. , Berges C. , Hidalgo J. , Herranz G.
Published: October 2023

The development of materials using master alloys has many advantages over pre-alloyed powders, such as better preservation of the shape of the parts at a more competitive cost. This type of alloy is commonly used for Metal Injection Moulding (MIM), which makes its use in 3D printing very interesting. However, its use for sinter based additive manufacturing technologies is not obvious, as it requires a detailed analysis of its flowability to accomplish a unique feedstock processable by MIM and Fused Filament/Pellets Fabrication (FFF/FPF) technologies (hybrid feedstock). Rheological and experimental criteria are used in which suitable flow characteristics are pursued. The measured parameters allow the selection of the optimum metal content of the feedstock to achieve a balance between MIM, FFF and FPF requirements, guaranteeing the industrial viability of the feedstock. After green shaping, debinding and sintering, the results concerning the final density, microhardness, tensile strength, shrinkage and dimensional accuracy are discussed.

Published: October 2023

The focus of this work is to process new biocompatible Ti alloys solely constituted of non-toxic elements by laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF), a metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology. The main L-PBF processing parameters such as laser power and scanning speed were defined to obtain highly dense samples. The effects of the addition of ceramic particles and the influence of the scanning strategy on the microstructure of the Ti-based alloys were investigated, showing the possibility for in-situ tailoring the material properties in the L-PBF process. Finally, some prototypes were manufactured proving the feasibility of manufacturing parts of Ti-based biocompatible alloys with complex geometry by L-PBF.

Published: October 2023

Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (MEAM) for metals is becoming increasingly appealing compared to other metal AM techniques, which are typically energy-intensive and require equipment expensive to install and maintain. In MEAM a polymeric feedstock filled with metal particles is extruded through a heated nozzle; subsequently, the 3D-printed green parts are debound and sintered. This study investigates the feasibility of producing functional Inconel-718 components with a commercial filament and a desktop printer, using a one-step thermal debiding and sintering procedure. To this purpose, the feedstock was extensively characterized, and optimal printing parameters were determined using the design of experiment technique and statistical analysis. Then tensile specimens were printed, debound, sintered and their mechanical and physical properties were measured. The specimens reached a maximum relative density of 83.4% and a maximum ultimate tensile strength of 223 MPa. A decrease in the debinding heat rate was required to avoid macro-void formation.
Lithography-Based Manufacturing Of Near Net Shape - Dispersion Strengthened Copper Parts By Cuprous Oxide Reduction
Authors: Scheibler Jakob , Studnitzky Thomas , Weißgärber Thomas
Published: October 2023

Dispersion strengthening of copper enables the combination of high strength and high conductivity. However, production of dispersion strengthened materials is complex and only yields semi-finished products. The following work presents a new approach based on cuprous oxide as matrix with dispersed alumina. Powder mixtures are printed into a near net shape part via Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing. After debinding, cuprous oxide is reduced to copper in a hydrogen sintering atmosphere. Furthermore, the influence of milling the powder mixtures is investigated with samples produced by film drawing. Characterization includes scanning electron microscopy, Vickers hardness, and electrical conductivity measurements. Electrical conductivity reaches values of up to 78 % IACS. Vickers hardness surpasses pure copper, however, falls short of comparative values from the literature for dispersion-strengthened materials. Reasons for that are insufficient densification and suboptimal dispersoid distribution.

Immunization is the most effective and efficient public health effort in preventing diseases and reducing mortality, such as smallpox, polio, tuberculosis, hepatitis B, diphtheria, measles, rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), tetanus, pneumonia (inflammation of lungs) and meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain). Immunization aims to provide immunity to the child's body by administering a vaccine. Vaccine is a drug that is given to help prevent a disease. There are still many who have not received complete immunization due to various reasons such as lack of knowledge of mothers about immunization and low awareness of mothers bringing their babies to Posyandu or Puskesmas to get complete immunization, lack of explanation from health workers about the benefits of immunization including the factor of low maternal education. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between education, knowledge and attitudes of mothers at the Manisa  Health Center. This research is analytic with a cross sectional approach, in this study were mothers who had babies, with a total sampling technique obtained 30 respondents. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire as a research instrument. The data that has been collected is then processed and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results of statistical analysis, obtained a relationship between education and completeness of basic immunization in infants (0.007 <0.05), there is a relationship between knowledge and completeness of basic immunization in infants (0.000 <0.05) and there is a relationship between attitude and completeness of basic immunization in infants (0.000 <0.05). Based on the results of this study it was concluded that there was a relationship between education, knowledge and attitudes of mothers with the completeness of basic immunization in infants. Through this research, it is hoped that health workers at the Manisa  Health Center will be more active in providing counseling and information about immunization services and for researchers to add experience and apply the knowledge they have gained.

Cataracts are a cause of blindness which accounts for approximately half of all blindness in the world, especially in developing countries. The mechanism of cataract formation is highly multifactorial. Loss of transparency in the nucleus and cortex of the lens of the eye can occur as a result of oxidation of membrane lipids, structural or enzymatic proteins by peroxides or free radicals induced by UV light. Other factors that can cause cataract formation are degenerative processes and diabetes mellitus). Cataract therapy is a surgical procedure by removing the cloudy lens, because no medical therapy has been proven to remove cataracts in adults. There are many methods that can be done with surgery for cataract patients. One of them is phacoemulsification, which is a cataract surgery using a small incision method. In this technique, liquefaction of the lens is made using an ultrasound probe that is inserted through an incision in the cornea or anterior sclera. This study aims to determine the relationship between age and gender with the incidence of cataracts at the Eye Polyclinic Outpatient Installation in 2022. This is a retrospective analytic study by examining data in the Recamedics Department. The data is grouped by age, sex and type of cataracts. There were 197 patients who came to the eye polyclinic in July 2022. From the results of the study, 197 people suffered from cataracts with a percentage of 88 men (45%) and 109 women (55%) and the age group that suffered the most from cataracts was the age group 53-68 years and the most common cataracts were senile cataract. Analysis of the relationship between age and gender with the incidence of cataracts in the Outpatient Installation (Poly Eyes) for the period of July 2022 obtained a value for the relationship between age and the incidence of cataracts P = 0.846 and the relationship between sex and the incidence of cataracts P = 0.01. Conclusion: In this study there is a significant relationship between gender and the incidence of cataracts and there is no relationship between age and the incidence of cataracts.

Background: Defective vision of one eye and strabismus, influence daily life and pertinent to education and occupation. This study outlined the prevalence rate and etiology of amblyopia suspect in Yemeni males who came to fulfill visa applications for works outside the country.

 Method: A cross sectional community-based study enrolled adult males, ages 18 to 55 years.  From an 8827 visa applicants, sample of (1162) referred to the outpatient clinic for visual clearance, these had defects in visual acuity equal or less than 6/12, glasses wear and abnormal looking eyes, lid or orbit. In the clinic, they underwent documentation of their basic data, unaided, aided vision, refraction, anterior and posterior eye segment evaluation to outline the defective vision cause. The amblyopia limited by unable to see the 6/9 line or worse in one eye after best correcting glasses without any organic eye lesion.

Results: out of (1162) referred for visual clearance applicants, there were (472) eyes, with prevalence rate 5.3%, had amblyopia of variable degrees from could not attain 6/9 in visual acuity to less than 6/60. Among the amblyopic eyes, (411) 4.66% in prevalence rate had a preventable refractive elements with a percentage of 87.08%. These who were drivers would lose their target work. (53) 22.9 % of these having decreased visions were illiterate. The study found (948) 81.6% had no glasses at time of screening. Conclusion: The prevalence rate of amblyopia was high 5.3%, the controllable refractive amblyopia occupied 87.08%.
Distribution of ABO and Rh (D) Blood Groups and their Genotypes in Amran Governorate, Yemen
Authors: Al-sormy Adam Abdullah Y. Ahmed
Published: October 2023

Background: The ABO and Rh blood group system is essential for blood bank inventory, blood transfusion services, and organ transplants. Relatively very little data is available about ABO and Rh (D) blood groups distributions in the Amran governorate. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood group and their genotypes in the Amran governorate, Yemen. Methods: A cross-sectional prospective and retrospective study was carried out from January 2020 to December 2021, on 1949 volunteer blood donors; 414 medical students were obtained from Amran University and 1535 from clinical records in the blood bank of Maternity and childhood hospital at Amran Governorate. The ABO and RhD grouping was done by using commercially available monoclonal antibodies (anti-A, anti-B, and anti-D) by slide methods. The allele and genotype frequency of the donors was determined by the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium assumption. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using the SPSS program. The difference between the observed and expected frequency was tested by an online Chi-square calculator. A P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:  Out of 1949 participants; were 78.8% of hospital donors, 92.2% of males, and 63.5% of rural areas. Blood group O was the most prevalent (51.2%), followed by A (31.5%), B (13.9%), and AB (3.5%) with statistically significant differences (P= 0.002). The Rh (D) positive was present in 86.8% of participants and 13.2% were Rh (D) negative. Moreover, the allele frequencies were in the order of (IO > IA > IB > AB), where (IO i = 0.513, IA = 0.313, IB = 0.138, and AB= 0.035). While the Rh(D) and d allelic frequencies were 0.868 and 0.132, respectively. Also, there was no statistically significant difference between observed and expected allele and genotype frequency (P-value >0.05). Conclusion: The frequency of distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood group and their genotypes among the study population was found to be similar to those reported from most Asian populations. This crucial information may be helpful in planning for future health challenges, particularly planning with regard to blood transfusion services.

Background: This study aimed to determine the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and the total serum IgE antibodies.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted during a period from August 2018-July 2020. Two hundred individuals were enrolled in this study. They were divided into 100 individuals infected with H. pylori (case group) and 100 individuals were not infected with H. pylori (control group). Three ml peripheral blood was withdrawn from each individual. The blood sample was used for the detection of total IgE antibodies using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. A stool sample was collected from each individual for the determination of H. pylori antigen using a rapid immunochromatography assay.

Results: Total IgE antibodies were positive among 46% of H. pylori-infected cases versus 19% of controls. There was a statistically significant association between H. pylori infection and total IgE antibodies (p=0.001). Regarding the risk factors for H. pylori infection, there was a statistically significant association between smoking and H. pylori infection. In contrast, there was no statistically significant association between the type of water, washing vegetables, washing and chewing qat, and family history with H. pylori infection.

Conclusions: It could be concluded that total IgE antibody level increased in patients infected with H. pylori compared to the non-infected individuals.
