Published: August 2022

This report chronicles the work undertaken by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign to identify policies and design guidelines to plan for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in mid-sized regions in Illinois. The report starts with the goals of this work followed by a review of existing literature. The review addresses CAV technologies and scenario planning, including academic research articles, policies and guidance documents from federal and state agencies, and recent long-range transportation plans. The review findings are organized into three categories—drivers, levers, and impacts—to facilitate scenario-based planning and included key factors and trends in technology development and adoption (drivers), mechanisms that planners and policymakers may employ to intervene in or prepare for CAV futures (levers), and community-level outcomes of different plausible CAV futures (impacts). Primary research was undertaken first by interviewing practitioners in six mid-sized regions of Illinois to collect inputs about their needs and obstacles to planning for CAVs, as well as to understand their sense of their community’s preparedness for CAVs. The research team then conducted a detailed survey of over 700 residents from the Greater Peoria region to understand their would-be travel behavior and residential location decisions in a CAV future and general attitude toward self-driving cars. These inputs helped identify the key drivers, levers, and impacts to be employed in creating scenarios, a list of selected policies and design, and a framework to select appropriate responses based on the needs and desires of a community. The detailed scenarios are as follows: (1) continuation of the status quo, (2) private multimodal future, and (3) shared multimodal future. The policies and design guidelines are identified for each scenario and are categorized into six sets of action items: general, data and digitization, mobility and traffic, street design, infrastructure, and planning. Specific details of each action item are organized in a format that allows the user to consider each item carefully and to assess its feasibility in a specific region or city. The appendices include background documents related to primary research and, importantly, a handbook for practitioners.

Recent developments in transformative technologies hold the promise to provide holistic solutions for affordable transportation services to rural areas and thus greatly alleviate existing social inequality through efficient planning and management of complex transportation systems and systemwide interactions among multiple modes. To realize the promise, many challenging research questions need to be addressed, which often leads to computationally intractable, large-scale, dynamic/stochastic, discrete optimization models. This project proposes to address some of the challenges by building a series of holistic and tractable models on the design of mobility services, capacity planning, dynamic matching, and routing, as well as pricing. The proposed project is expected to create a new series of planning and management models that can support strategical and operational decisions for large-scale autonomous and shared mobility systems in rural areas. The planned case study and simulation for the Village of Rantoul, Illinois, will lay the foundation for future field implementation.
Aerodynamic Survey of Novel eVTOL Configuration Using SU2
Authors:   University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Zheng Wanzheng , Merret Jason ,   University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Published: August 2022

This report summarizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) geometries using the SU2 Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver. Geometries were generated based on the Smart Transportation Infrastructure Initiative (STII) Rappor 15th iteration with various rotor-installment solutions. It was found that although open rotors installed on an underwing pylon were superior to shrouded rotors installed in a canoe, the canoe configuration would provide more potential for improvement, and using a canoe door to cover the first rotor opening would reduce the drag experienced by the canoe case below that upon the rod case. Rotor doors were found to be most efficient in reducing drag of the canoe case: Average drag reduction with covering the first rotor and all rotors was 66 and 165 counts, respectively. Changing rotor distributions along the chordwise direction had minimal impact on drag reduction, and placing rotors along the spanwise direction was not advised due to the increase of the projected frontal area. Increasing canoe chord length did not have significant impact on drag reduction; and if rotor doors were implemented, increasing canoe size had negative impact on drag. Rounding rotor edges did not change the aerodynamic performance of the canoe case but promotes vertical air intake when running lifting fans. Drag received by the canoe parabolically correlated to rotor diameter, with 126 counts of drag if the rotor diameter was 0 and 377 counts if the rotor diameter was 2.95 ft. Fuselage and tail added an average 179 counts of drag, and thus the aforementioned differences were still significant in the scale of aerodynamic properties of the full configuration.
Organisational factors as determinants for online knowledge-sharing behaviour
Authors: Waititu Paul , Barker Rachel
Published: August 2022

Online knowledge-sharing (OKS) behaviour has become a critical and inevitable component in recognising knowledge as a valuable resource to enhance an organisation’s competitive advantage. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the organisational factors that determine OKS behaviour in an online environment within the context of savings and loans cooperative organisations (SACCOs) in Kenya. A comprehensive literature review revealed that limited studies have been conducted to investigate the role of organisational factors in OKS behaviour from a knowledge-based perspective. The study used quantitative and qualitative research to collect and analyse data in a case study by means of three data collection instruments: online self-administered questionnaires, a moderator’s guide and an interview schedule. The accessible population of the study comprised 485 employees in selected SACCOs in Nakuru city. A sample of 245 was selected for the survey and another sample of 72 employees who participated in the survey (eight from each SACCO) was selected to take part in the focus group discussions. In addition, eight senior managers took part in the in-depth interviews. An environment conducive to working and a friendly organisational culture were identified by employees as the key determinates of their OKS behaviour in the organisation. Hence, it is argued that it is critical for SACCOs to develop strategies capable of modifying the working environment and organisational culture to enhance employees’ OKS behaviour through online internal communication (OIC) tools.

The assumption that it is not uncommon for mosques to become locations for the spread of terrorism still exists. The concern that mosques will be used as a place for spreading radicalism-terrorism fanatics is something that has existed for a long time. The facts and assumptions that spread make mosques often get the label as a location for spreading radicalism. With a phenomenological approach, this study aims to find out the efforts made by the management organization of the Abu Dzar Al-Ghifari Mosque, Malang City, to fight stigma and prevent the spread of radicalism-extremism-terrorism in their mosque environment. The results of this study indicate that mosque administrators make various efforts including: 1) Openness of information and study materials through digital media that can be accessed by anyone; 2) Prepare SOP for materials and presenters; 3) Establish cooperation with NU and Muhammadiyah organizations and all mosque administrators throughout Malang Raya; and 4) Embracing the community (ummah) to make the mosque a center for mosque-based empowerment.

The usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones in agriculture is still new in Malaysia. There are very few studies to determine the effectiveness of spraying chemicals using a drone that can suit the weather and environmental factors in Malaysia. This paper aims to investigate the efficacy of the pesticide application using a drone sprayer in a paddy field. The plot is 0.5 hectares located at MARDI Seberang Perai. The study was done from June until November 2019. The pesticide application was carried out 4 times which was 32 days after sowing (DAS), 46 DAS, 70 DAS, and 102 DAS. There were two types of chemicals used in this experiment, which were used to control the pesticide and the disease. The study involves two methods of chemical application, which were drone and knapsack applications. The number of pesticides and percentages of disease attacks was taken within 1 week before and after spraying. From the results, the application of the drone on pesticides spraying was not any different with manual application with the current normal practices nowadays. Rice farmers have the option to choose what application to use in their field to control insect pests. In this, they have to consider the cost, availability, field and hazardous conditions. However, to get a better result, this experiment should be repeated during suitable seasons.

Authors: Chuah Tse Seng , Sudau Eh Teet
Published: August 2022

Anthracnose is the major pre- and postharvest disease of mango which caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. In-vitro and in-vivo studies were done to evaluate the antifungal activity of Pennisetum purpureum weed extract on control of C. gloeosporioides. Result: The in-vitro result showed that methanol crude extract of P. purpureum exhibited the best antifungal activity against C. gloeosprioides with an average minimum inhibition concentration value of 3.13 mg/ml and it had the highest total activity (5.28 ml/g) on inhibition of C. gloeosprioides. Meanwhile, the in-vivo result demonstrated that the fruits coated with alginate incorporated crude extract at a concentration of 18 mg/ml were most effective in retaining fruit firmness and had the smallest size lesion in diameter (0.34 cm) as compared to other treatments. The phytochemical assay of methanolic crude extract revealed the presence of phenolic compound (tannins), alkaloids and flavonoids but steroids, saponin, amino acid and oil were absent. Conclusion: This study has demonstrated that alginate based coating incorporated with methanolic crude extract of P. purpureum could be used to inhibit anthracnose pathogen of C. gloeosporioides, thereby extending the shelf life of mango fruits.

Published: August 2022

The article describes the practical experience of the NATO Navy’s environmental activities in the protection of marine ecosystems. The article uses publications on the protection of marine ecosystems, the ecological status of the Black and Azov Seas and environmental control. The physical and geographical characteristics of the Black Sea and the ecological conditions of the Azov-Black Sea are described. Data from the ecological monitoring of the Azov-Black Sea region indicate a severe ecological crisis in the region, which is characterized by excessive development of unicellular algae, death of fish and dolphins. The intensification of the ecological crisis coincided with the beginning of the militarization of the Azov-Black Sea region. Further development of the Ukrainian Navy will lead to even greater destruction of marine ecosystems and large losses of valuable natural resources. The article gives examples of environmental activities of the Australian, British and US navies, which pay great attention to the protection of the marine environment and environmental planning of their activities. The current protection state of the marine ecosystems in the Ukrainian Navy is considered in this article. Recommendations for greening the activities of the Ukrainian Navy in the context of the ecological crisis of the Black and Azov Seas are given: develop and implement measures to protect marine animals during marine exercises; implement programs to protect marine ecosystems, especially those of high ecological value; to provide clearing of the remains of ammunition; creation and implementation of an environmental management system for all Navy facilities; to carry out updating and re-equipment of ships taking into account requirements of MARPOL; to ensure compliance with environmental requirements in the design, construction, operation, repair and disposal of Navy ships. The study of experience in the protection of marine ecosystems of the NATO Navy will enable the Ukrainian Navy to make appropriate management decisions and balance its activities in the Black and Azov Seas, taking into account the increased man-made load.

The article characterizes the logistics component of troops (forces) support management and provides the overview of military logistics system and subsystem including general information, international experience and conventional logistics functions; determination and purposes of military logistics system; concept of efficient management within military logistics system.
Currently, troops (forces) support management, being at the stage of significant development, concerns improvement of organization and controlling of facilities and equipment provision of training and combat use of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It requires development of new concept of management of military information and logistics flows that is considered to be the fundamental principle of logistics component of troops (forces) support management being implemented within a number of tasks.
The aim of the article is to investigate the logistics component of troops (forces) support management from the point of view of international experience of staged creation of logistics support system, determination of support types, logistics functions and logistics management.
The research found that the system of military logistics is hierarchical, integrated and it possesses the unified structure organizing the coordinated unity of information, material and financial flows. Its functions are the following: collection of information about nomenclature, volumes and terms of provisions of facilities and equipment from defense manufacturers and military customers’ orders in an automated mode; organization of receipt of armament, facilities, equipment and materials from manufacturers, optimized control over their distribution, movements and provision in accordance with the established rules of logistics and organization of their safe storage in the armouries, storing facilities, and warehouses.
Conclusions. The logistics component of troops (forces) support management deals with the centralized system of troops (forces) support with military supplies by types of support (technical, logistical, and medical) functioning under consolidated administration. Also, it introduces the provision processes on the principles of transparency (clarity) and precise hierarchical system of responsibility of appropriate officials. The system was designed as similar to the logistics system of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland meaning the chosen system of military logistics by planning and performing functions is requesting to replace the existing system of logistics support.
Staged implementation of planned activities of creation of efficient logistics support system will allow for retaining the existing support system and gradual transition to the system that will meet the all modern requirements, procedures, and standards of NATO member states.

Authors: Wang Ke , Ding Lian , Dailami Farid , Matthews Jason
Published: August 2022

The finishing stage of mould manufacturing is generally completed via mechanical polishing and manually conducted. Not only is this the most expensive phase of the process but also is currently struggling with a deficit of skilled workers. To address these issues, and support the wider needs of Industry 4.0, the manufacturing community has investigated robotic technologies to support the polishing process. The work reported here, investigating the polishing process planning and optimization for mould manufacture is part of a larger project aiming to automate 80% of the current manual process. Presented in this article is an optimization strategy for robotic polishing process sequencing aiming at satisfying polishing sequence rules and the shortest polishing time simultaneously. A hybrid approach combining both genetic algorithm (GA) and analytical hierarchical process (AHP) is proposed based on the specific characteristics of polishing process sequencing. A multi-objective fitness function is defined using AHP including the calculation of polishing time and evaluation of polishing process rules. The proposed GA-based process sequencing has been successfully demonstrated on test piece examples.
The reliability assessment of the method for calculating the strength of oblique sections in reinforced concrete elements with various cross-sectional shape
Authors: Mukhamediev T. A. , Zenin S. A. , Zharkikh A. S.
Published: August 2022

Introduction. The current standards for the design of concrete and reinforced concrete structures provide no methods for calculating the strength of the oblique sections in bending elements of various cross-sectional shape under the action of transverse forces. This prompts the designers to use simplifications in calculation of such elements, which, in some cases, may lead to excessive consumption of transverse reinforcement or the strength underestimation.

Aim. The performed study was aimed at assessing the reliability of a new method for calculating the strength of oblique sections in bending reinforced concrete structures with a non-rectangular cross-sectional shape.

Materials and methods. The reliability assessment of a new procedure for calculating oblique sections of a various cross-sectional shape was performed by the comparison between the calculated and experimental values of the transverse force received by the oblique section of reinforced concrete elements with various cross-sectional shape. The study considers the oblique bending tests of the samples with an annular, circular, and square cross-sectional shape, as well as T-shaped samples with a crossbar both in a stretched and compressed zone. The reliability assessment was performed using generally accepted methods of statistical analysis.

Results. The distributions of ratios of the experimental and calculated values of the destructive transverse force for various-section test samples were obtained to be close to normal ones. According to the results of the reliability assessment, the proposed procedure of calculating the strength of oblique sections in elements with various cross-sectional shape was established to be comparable with the procedure accepted in the SP 63.13330.2018 Rules and Regulations for calculating rectangular cross-section elements in terms of the accuracy and reliability indices.

Conclusions. The proposed procedure of calculating the strength of oblique sections in elements with various cross-sectional shape was determined to be comparable with the procedure accepted in the SP 63.13330.2018 Rules and Regulations for calculating rectangular cross-section elements in terms of the accuracy and reliability indices.

Authors: Vasyukova Anna , Krivoshonok Ronstantin
Published: August 2022

The purpose of the scientific work is to study the indicators of the quality and safety of fish culinary products for children's nutrition. The object of the study were fish dishes. Microbiological and physico-chemical methods determined the nutritional value, toxicity and set the shelf life of products. The article provides up-to-date information on the impact of the nutritional factor on the development of the child's body. The lack of a balanced diet can lead to various forms of allergies, anemia, rickets, and an increase in the frequency of infectious diseases. In this regard, fish raw materials can most fully solve the issue of meeting the needs of a child in nutrients that are important for him. One of the important indicators is the content of the dense and liquid parts in the model minced meat, because fish contains 80-81% water in its composition, then an increase in free liquid in the minced meat recipe would lead to its dilution and the loss of the possibility of manufacturing molded products. In the course of the work, it was found that the duration of storage at a temperature of 4+-2 °C is possible for 72 hours (3 days) without changing the safety indicators. The microbiological safety of the developed products was established: The number of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (QMAFAnM) at all points of control of samples does not exceed the normalized level. An important aspect in the nutrition of school-age children is the organoleptic characteristics of dishes. As a result of the examination, it was determined that the products under study are characterized by attractive organoleptic characteristics: the taste and smell are not pronounced fishy, characteristic of the products, there is no taste of extraneous cod, the texture is juicy, tender, acceptable for school-age children.

Published: August 2022

Bioflavonoids, also known as flavonoids, are substances with low molecular weight that are found in vascular plants. They are found in all parts of plants, but especially in photosynthetic cells and have a wide spectrum of action as antioxidants, enzymatic inhibitors, precursors of toxic substances, protection against ultraviolet radiation, and also participate in energy conversion. The article discusses the experience of using a new generation antioxidant – dihydroquercetin and an immunostimulator – arabinogalactan in feeding sturgeon fish. The objects of research in the work were: two-year-olds of Russian sturgeon, as well as dihydroquercetin, arabinogalactan and feed formulations for sturgeon fish species. In the process of work, the formulation of a full-fledged compound feed for sturgeon fish species was adjusted using the bioflavonoid dihydroquercin, an arabinogalactant immunostimulator, and the productive effect of feed on fish was evaluated according to fish-biological and physiological indicators. The obtained results complement the existing ideas about the fields of application of antioxidants, and also prove the prospects of using herbal remedies as antioxidant feed additives. The results obtained in the course of research can serve as a basis for improving technologies for the production of compound feeds when growing fish on an intensive basis.

Published: August 2022

Sultan II. Abdülhamid döneminde Yıldız Sarayı, devletin karar merkezi haline gelmiş ve Saray ön plana çıkmıştı. Bu dönemde dış dünya ile Saray arasındaki muamelatın tamamı Mabeyn Başkitabeti aracılığıyla idare edilmişti. İşte bu kadar önemli bir makam olan Mabeyn-i Hümayun Başkâtipliğine 1894 yılında Sultan II. Abdülhamid tarafından Tahsin Paşa getirildi. Bu vazifesini 1908 yılına kadar sürdüren Paşa, Meşrutiyet’in yeniden ilanından sonra tutuklandı ve Bekirağa Bölüğüne hapsedildi. 3 Eylül 1908’de Büyükada’ya nakledildi ve burada gözetim altında tutuldu. 31 Mart Vakası’nın ardından 28 Mayıs 1909’da Meclis-i Vükela kararıyla mal ve mülkü haczedildi; rütbe, nişan ve madalyaları iptal edildi, emeklilik hakkından mahrum bırakılarak Sakız Adası’na sürüldü. Adanın Yunanistan tarafından işgali tehlikesi ortaya çıkınca Paşa, 27 Mayıs 1912’de İzmir’e sevk edildi. 11 Şubat 1913’te siyasi suçlulara yönelik genel affın çıkarılmasıyla İstanbul’a dönmesine müsaade edildi. Bu tarihten 1933 yılına kadar İstanbul’da yokluk içerisinde, sürekli borç arar bir vaziyette yaşamını idame ettirdi. Elinde kalan son mülklerini de bu tarihlerde kaybetti. 1930 yılından itibaren hatıralarını Milliyet gazetesinde tefrika halinde yayımladı. Tahsin Paşa, 22 Ocak 1933’te Erenköy’de bulunan köşkünde vefat etti. Cenazesi Eyüp’teki aile kabristanına defnedildi. Bu çalışmada önemli bir devrin tanığı olan ve şu ana kadar hakkında hiçbir akademik çalışma yapılmamış olan Tahsin Paşa’nın Mabeyn başkâtibi olarak Sultan Abdülhamid’in yönetim sistemi içerisindeki yeri ve yüklendiği rol incelenecektir. Ayrıca Meşrutiyet’in ilanından sonra Sultan Abdülhamid’e sadakatini devam ettiren bir devlet adamının ölümüne kadar olan yaşantısı ortaya konulacaktır.

Aim: This study aimed to report the adjuvant radiotherapy results of pediatric patients with Ewing sarcoma who received multimodal treatment for this rare disease using modern radiotherapy (RT) techniques.

Material and Methods: Pediatric patients with Ewing Sarcoma (ES) who received adjuvant radiotherapy were evaluated retrospectively. The study’s primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The secondary endpoint was local relapse-free survival after RT (LRFS- RT) and overall survival after RT (OS-RT).

Results: The results of 18 pediatric patients diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in our clinic between 09.12.2013-04.04.2021 and underwent RT for adjuvant were evaluated retrospectively. The three patients were excluded since they did not meet the inclusion criteria. The median age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 10.5 (range 3-17). The time from diagnosis to the onset of RT was 8.6 (range 2-20) months. The median fraction dose was 180 cGy, and the median total RT dose was 50.4 (range 45-55.80) Gy. The median follow-up period of the study was 27 (range 11-86) months. The 12 (80%) patients survived, and 3 (20%) died. The median OS diagnosis of the patients was 27.3 (range 11 to 86.5) months. The overall survival of the patients after RT was median 17.3 (range 4.4-83.9) months. Recurrence (local+distant) was observed in 7 patients (46.7%); 2 (13.3%) local, 3 (20%) distant and 2 (13.3%) both. The median DFS was 24 months (range 1-86.5).

Subcentimeter Solid Breast Lesions with Suspicious Ultrasonographic and Benign Histopathological Features: Sonographic Characterization
Authors: FİDAN Nurdan , YÜCESOY Cüneyt
Published: August 2022

Aim: The aim of our study was to reveal the types and sonographic features of the margins in solid lesions less than 10 mm in dimension, considered suspicious for malignancy in breast ultrasonography, and histopathologically diagnosed as benign; and therefore, to recall the features that will facilitate the evaluation of radiology-pathology compatibility after biopsy.

Material and Methods: This study was conducted with 82 women, with BI-RADS 4-5 lesions sonographically, between 2017 and 2020. Lesion size and margins, presence of posterior shadowing and microcalcifications were scanned retrospectively. Lesions were classified according to their margins as smooth-macrolobulated, microlobulated, irregular-indistinct, angular and spiculated.

Results: Histopathologically, the most common benign lesions were fibroadenoma (n=26, 31.7%) and fibrocystic changes (n=15, 18.3%). Sonographically, the mean size of the lesions was 8.96±1.46 mm, and the most common margins were irregular-indistinct in 39%, and smooth-macrolobulated in 30%. In the statistical analysis, the incidence of fibroadenoma was found to be significantly higher in the BI-RADS 4a group compared to the patients in the other pathological diagnosis group (p:0.007).

Conclusion: In this study, it was concluded that the indistinct-irregular, microlobulated and angular margins could also be observed significantly in subcentimeter benign breast lesions, and as the size of the lesion got smaller, it becomes difficult to differentiate the features of the margins; hence they should be evaluated more carefully.

Authors: DEMİRÖZ ASLAN Duygu , OHANOĞLU Karolin , CEYLAN Mediha Kübra , VERİT Fatma Ferda
Published: August 2022

Aim: We aimed to investigate the association between vitamin D deficiency and severity of preeclampsia.

Material and Methods: We conducted a case-control study aiming to evaluate vitamin D serum levels in patients with preeclampsia(PE), severe preeclampsia, eclampsia and HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets). Total number of 69 patients between the ages of 18 and 40 either had a spontaneous vaginal delivery or C-section were included in the study.

Results: The demographic data of the patients were similar, and age was higher in severe PE than in the other groups. When body mass index (BMI) was evaluated, the average BMI of the patients in the severe PE group was found to be significantly higher than PE and similar to the other groups. The average vitamin D levels of all groups was 8.75±3.5 and the mean of severe PE was 6.69±3, which was significantly lower than the other groups. The average vitamin D level in PE was 10.99±2.91, and it was higher than all groups and was significantly higher than patients with severe PE and HELLP syndrome.

Conclusion: We think that there is a significant relationship between the severity of hypertensive disorders that begin during pregnancy and the degree of vitamin D deficiency. We think that the control of vitamin D level and its addition to the treatment will positively affect the course of the disease in order to prevent hypertensive disorders and reduce the severity of disease.

We present the design and performance of the GROWTH-India telescope, a 0.7 m robotic telescope dedicated to time-domain astronomy. The telescope is equipped with a 4k back-illuminated camera that gives a 0.°82 field of view and a sensitivity of m
g′ ∼ 20.5 in 5 minute exposures. Custom software handles observatory operations: attaining high on-sky observing efficiencies (≳80%) and allowing rapid response to targets of opportunity. The data processing pipelines are capable of performing point-spread function photometry as well as image subtraction for transient searches. We also present an overview of the GROWTH-India telescope’s contributions to the studies of gamma-ray bursts, the electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave sources, supernovae, novae, and solar system objects.

Parker Solar Probe's (PSP's) unique orbital path allows us to observe the solar wind closer to the Sun than ever before. Essential to advancing our knowledge of solar wind and energetic particle formation is identifying the sources of PSP observations. We report on results for the first two PSP solar encounters derived using the Wang–Sheeley–Arge (WSA) model driven by Air Force Data Assimilative Photospheric Flux Transport (ADAPT) model maps. We derive the coronal magnetic field and the 1 R
⊙ source regions of the PSP-observed solar wind. We validate our results with the solar wind speed and magnetic polarity observed at PSP. When modeling results are very reliable, we derive time series of model-derived spacecraft separation from the heliospheric current sheet, magnetic expansion factor, coronal hole boundary distance, and photospheric field strength along the field lines estimated to be connected to the spacecraft. We present new results for Encounter 1, which show time evolution of the far-side mid-latitude coronal hole that PSP corotates with. We discuss how this evolution coincides with solar wind speed, density, and temperature observed at the spacecraft. During Encounter 2, a new active region emerges on the solar far side, making it difficult to model. We show that ADAPT-WSA output agrees well with PSP observations once this active region rotates onto the near side, allowing us to reliably estimate the solar wind sources retrospectively for most of the encounter. We close with ways in which coronal modeling enables scientific interpretation of these encounters that would otherwise not have been possible.

We examine variations in energetic storm particle (ESP) heavy ion peak intensities and energy spectra at CME-driven interplanetary shocks. We focus on their dependence with heliolongitude relative to the source region of their associated CMEs, and with CME speed, for events observed in Solar Cycle 24 at the STEREO-A, STEREO-B, and/or ACE spacecraft. We find that observations of ESP events at 1 au are organized by longitude relative to their CME solar source. The ESP event longitude distribution also showed organization with CME speed. The near-Sun CME speeds (V

i
) for these events ranged from ∼560 to 2650 km s−1 while the average CME transit speeds to 1 au were significantly slower. The angular width of the events had a clear threshold at V

i
of ∼1300 km s−1, above which events showed significantly larger angular extension compared to events with speeds below. High-speed events also showed larger heavy ion peak intensities near the nose of the shock compared to the flanks while their spectral index was smaller near the nose and larger near the flanks. This organization for events with V

i
< 1300 km s−1 was not as clear. These ESP events were observed over a narrower range of longitudes though the heavy ion peak intensities still appeared largest near the nose of the shock. Their heavy ion spectra showed no clear organization with longitude. These observations highlight the impact of spacecraft position relative to the CME source longitude and V

on the properties of ESP events at 1 au.

Spatially extended halos of H i Lyα emission are now ubiquitously found around high-redshift star-forming galaxies. But our understanding of the nature and powering mechanisms of these halos is still hampered by the complex radiative transfer effects of the Lyα line and limited angular resolution. In this paper, we present resolved Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) observations of SGAS J122651.3+215220, a strongly lensed pair of L* galaxies at z = 2.92 embedded in a Lyα halo of L
Lyα
= (6.2 ± 1.3) × 1042 erg s−1. Globally, the system shows a line profile that is markedly asymmetric and redshifted, but its width and peak shift vary significantly across the halo. By fitting the spatially binned Lyα spectra with a collection of radiative transfer galactic wind models, we infer a mean outflow expansion velocity of ≈211 km s−1, with higher values preferentially found on both sides of the system’s major axis. The velocity of the outflow is validated with the blueshift of low-ionization metal absorption lines in the spectra of the central galaxies. We also identify a faint (M
1500 ≈ −16.7) companion detected in both Lyα and the continuum, whose properties are in agreement with a predicted population of satellite galaxies that contribute to the extended Lyα emission. Finally, we briefly discuss the impact of the interaction between the central galaxies on the properties of the halo and the possibility of in situ fluorescent Lyα production.

Published: August 2022

Vitamin D is one of the essential vitamins and has recently been demonstrated to be much more important for the appropriate functioning of the human body and well-being than initially believed. Although vitamin D is mainly known for its link with bone fractures and bone diseases, recent studies revealed that vitamin D and its analogues have revealed many pharmacological actions covering the regulation of cell growth, inhibition of inflammation, and improvement of neuromuscular function and immune function. Moreover, vitamin D and its analogues are reported to have role in different types of cancers, skin diseases, diabetes mellitus and infections caused by different bacterial and viral pathogens including SARS-CoV-2. The goal of this study is to evaluate the scientific literature on therapeutic uses of vitamin D and its analogues against different diseases and health condition. Special attention has been given to COVID-19 infection, cancer, skin diseases, and diabetes. The molecular mechanisms involved are also explored.
Management of inflammatory bowel disease beyond tumor necrosis factor inhibitors: novel biologics and small-molecule drugs
Authors: Na Soo-Young , Kim You Sun
Published: August 2022

The incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, have increased in Asia and developing countries. In the past two decades, anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents have revolutionized the treatment of IBD, in part by decreasing the rates of complications and surgery. Although anti-TNF agents have changed the course of IBD, there are unmet needs in terms of primary and secondary non-responses and side effects such as infections and malignancies. Novel biologics and small-molecule drugs have been developed for IBD, and the medical treatment options have improved. These drugs include sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators and anti-integrins to block immune cell migration, and cytokine and Janus kinase inhibitors to block immune cell communications. In this review, we discuss the approved novel biologics and small-molecule drugs, including several of those in the late stages of development, for the treatment of IBD.

Complément verbal direct et indirect : continuité et rupture
Authors: Mahmoud Elfakharany Chérine Fathy
Published: August 2022

On peut considérer qu’il y a continuité entre le verbe et son complément lorsque celui-ci est direct, et rupture entre les deux, par la préposition, en cas de construction indirecte. L’hypothèse soutenue ici est que la préposition établit en fait une « double continuité », d’une part en complétant ou prolongeant le sens du verbe, et d’autre part en faisant le lien entre l’acception verbale ainsi précisée et le complément. L’illustration porte sur des verbes qui peuvent se construire directement ou indirectement avec la préposition sur .
