Broadband HMSIW antenna using a demi hexagonal ring slot for X-band application
Authors: Astuti Dian Widi , Muslim Muslim , Umaisaroh Umaisaroh , A Majid Huda , Alam Syah
Published: January 2025

Microstrip antennas offer several advantages, including small size, easy fabrication, controllable polarity and radiation patterns, and easy integration with other components. These qualities make microstrip antennas more reliable than other antenna types. However, they also have limitations, such as lower radiation efficiency and narrow bandwidth, primarily due to the thin substrate thickness. Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is a type of microstrip antenna. SIW antennas come in two forms: one with a rectangular shape, typically designed as a slot, and the other in the form of a horn. However, SIW slot antennas face challenges with narrow impedance bandwidth due to the thin substrate, unlike conventional bulky hollow waveguides. The half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) slot antenna, which is a 50% miniaturized version of the SIW slot antenna, also suffers from reduced fractional bandwidth, resulting from the miniaturization and the thin substrate. This paper focuses on enhancing the bandwidth of HMSIW antennas by incorporating a demi-hexagonal ring slot. The broadband impedance bandwidth simulation (27.36%) is achieved through triple resonance frequencies to address the issue of narrow impedance bandwidth. Both the simulation results and measurements show consistency, with the measured impedance bandwidth ranging from 8.91 to 12.62 GHz (34.46%), demonstrating at least triple resonance frequencies.
Effect of building designation on parking characteristics, road performance, and zoning regulation
Authors: Da Costa Don Gaspar Noesaku , Suni Yulius P. K.
Published: January 2025

If the capacity of the parking zone on buildings with great trip attractiveness rates is inadequate, it usually triggers on-street parking activity and its unintended derived impacts. Unfortunately, although this unintended situation may decrease traffic and road environmental quality, a similar situation always occurs. The initial field observation's result indicates that a change in building utilization may have influenced it. So, this study aims to assess the effect of parking accumulation rates due to a change in building utilization on the parking index and its impacts on road performance, including traffic accident risk. The existing parking index is influenced by parking accumulation and capacity, while the planning parking index is determined by comparing the parking accumulation and standardized parking space. In addition, the effect of on-street and road performance was assessed using results from similar previous studies. It was found that a change in building function significantly impacts the existing parking index value. It could not accommodate the increased trip rate, resulting in on-street parking activity. It influences a decrease in road capacity, travel speed, air pollutants, and sight distance (increasing accident risk level). This indicates that an institutional strengthening capability represented in an appropriate zoning regulation, which describes the type, number, and scale of activities allowed to be built in a particular corridor, is a compulsory requirement. Consequently, the ladder of urban land use planning should be re-reviewed. Implementing this new concept should be considered, especially in an urban fast-growth corridor.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treatment of vascular occlusion after permanent dermal filler injection
Authors: Johnson-Arbor, MD Kelly
Published: January 2025

Johnson-Arbor K. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treatment of vascular occlusion after permanent dermal filler injection. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2024 Fourth Quarter; 51(4):403-406.
Introduction: Arterial vascular occlusion is a rare complication of dermal filler injection. This case report describes the successful use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a patient with vascular occlusion after a permanent dermal filler was injected.
Case Report: A 51-year-old woman underwent an injection of non-resorbable polymethylmethacrylate microspheres into her nasolabial folds. Several hours later, she experienced dusky discoloration of the right nasolabial fold and surrounding livedo skin changes, consistent with vascular occlusion. Treatment with warm compresses and topical nitroglycerin was initiated, and the patient was referred for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The tissue discoloration improved significantly after the administration of six hyperbaric treatments.
Discussion: While hyaluronidase is recognized as a treatment option for vascular occlusion associated with using temporary fillers containing hyaluronic acid, it may also be beneficial for patients who experience vascular occlusion after administration of permanent fillers. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which results in hyperoxygenation of ischemic tissue and mitigation of the associated inflammatory response, may also benefit patients who experience vascular occlusion after permanent filler injection.
Conclusions: Administration of hyaluronidase and hyperbaric oxygenation should be considered for patients who develop arterial occlusions after dermal filler placement, regardless of the type of injected filler.

Risberg J, van Ooij PJ, Mátity L. Recovery from pulmonary oxygen toxicity: a new (ESOT) model. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2024 Fourth Quarter; 51(4):407-423.
Arieli has previously demonstrated that the exposure metric K could be used to predict pulmonary oxygen toxicity (POT) based on changes in Vital Capacity (VC). Our previous findings indicate that the Equivalent Surface Oxygen Time (ESOT) allows the estimation of POT without loss of accuracy compared to K. In this work, we have further investigated POT recovery. The K metric assumes that the recovery of POT is to be controlled by exposure to pO2. This results in a counterintuitively slow estimated recovery after exposure to low pO2.
Similarly, K overestimates POT during intermittent hyperoxic exposures. We used results from previous studies to train the parameters of a new ESOT recovery model. The predicted recovery of ESOT (ESOTrec) after initial hyperoxic exposure (ESOTi) of duration texp (h) and recovery time t (h) can be calculated as ESOTrec=ESOTi · e-f with f=0.439 · t · 0.906texp. For intermittent exposures, the function
ESOT(n)=(n · a · ln(b · n+1)+c) · texp · pO22.285 will approximate POT (ESOT(n)) after n sessions of pO2 (atm) for time texp (min) in each cycle. Parameters a, b, and c are specific for each cycling pattern. These ESOT functions will better predict the development of POT during intermittent hyperoxic exposures as well
as recovery after a broader range of continuous hyperoxic exposures than K. We recommend limiting hyperoxic exposures in surface-oriented diving to ESOT=660, 500, and 450 for a maximum of one, five, and seven consecutive days, respectively. A minimum of 48 hours of recovery should follow. These limits can probably be relaxed for intermittent exposures.

Background: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO2) is a treatment modality that exposes patients to 100% oxygen at higher atmospheric pressures. Recently, HBO2 has emerged as a potential therapeutic option for various liver diseases, offering advantages such as improved tissue oxygenation, anti-inflammatory effects, enhanced wound healing, and potential hepatoprotective properties. Understanding the benefits of HBO2 in liver diseases can pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies and improved patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of HBO2 in arthritic rats treated with leflunomide (LEF) through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways.
Material and Methods: 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups (8 animals in each group (n = 8)). 1st group was the control group, which received no treatment. 2nd group was RA + LEF
5 mg/kg, 3rd group was RA + LEF 5 mg/kg + HBO2. Rheumatoid arthritis was induced using Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA). The treatment was initiated on the 10th day following induction and lasted for
a total of 18 days. The impact on disease progression was assessed through histological changes, which were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin staining, while the Anti-TNF-α antibody levels were determined.
Results: Compared with the RL group, the RLH group significantly decreases necrotic cells, Lymphocyte- rich mononuclear cells, and active anti-TNF-α.
Conclusion: HBO2 showed a beneficial effect and decreased hepatotoxicity on Leflunomide-induced liver injury.

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) presents as the abrupt onset of hearing loss. Approximately 88% of SSNHL has no identifiable etiology and is termed idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) [1]. Hearing specialists have investigated ISSHL since the 1970s. Over the past 30 years, more
than 800 articles, or one every two weeks, have been published in the English medical literature [2]. ISSHL is the abrupt onset of hearing loss, usually unilaterally and upon wakening, that involves a hearing loss of at least 30 decibels (dB) occurring within three days over at least three contiguous frequencies [3-4]. As most patients do not present with premorbid audiograms, the degree of hearing loss is usually defined by the presentation thresholds of the unaffected ear [4]. Other associated symptoms include tinnitus, aural fullness, dizziness and vertigo [4-5]. The historical incidence of ISSHL ranges from 5–20 cases/100,000 population, with approximately 4,000 new cases per annum in the United States [4,6]. The true incidence is thought to be higher, as ISSHL is thought to be underreported. Interestingly, 4,000 cases annually calculate to 1.3 cases/ 100,000 in the United States; therefore, an incidence of 5–20/100,000 would translate to > 15,000 new ISSHL cases per annum in the United States. Recent literature has
placed the annual ISSHL incidence in the United States as 27 cases/100,000, with a pediatric incidence
of 11 cases/100,000 [7]. Other studies report that the incidence is increasing (160/100,000), especially
in the elderly (77/100,000), and conclude that ISSHL is no longer rare [7-9]. In 1984, Byl reviewed the literature and found the mean age of ISSHL presentation to be 46–49 years, with variation of incidence with age and an equal gender distribution [6,10-13]. The presentation of ISSHL does not appear to have seasonal variations, uneven distributions of presentation throughout the year, or an association with upper respiratory infections, either prior to or following symptom onset [14]. The spontaneous recovery is currently thought to be 30–60% [15-17].
Correlation of microRNAs-10b/21/34a expression levels with IDH1-mutation status in patients with glioblastoma
Authors: Stepanovic Aleksandar , Petrovic Nina , Arsenijevic Tatjana , Nikitovic Marina
Published: January 2025

Introduction/Objective. Isocitrate dehydrogenase mutations play a
significant role in gliomagenesis. Specific microRNAs such as miR-10b/21 act
as oncogenic microRNAs, while miR-34a acts as tumor suppressors in
glioblastoma. Our study aimed to investigate the mutation status of IDH
correlate with microRNAs-10b/21/34a expression levels in patients with
glioblastoma. Methods. The study included 43 patients diagnosed with
glioblastoma. We examined microRNA-10b, microRNA-21 and microRNA-34a
expression levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells after surgery and
prior to concurrent radiotherapy with temozolomide, at the 15th and 30th
fractions of radiotherapy with temozolomide. The data on IDH1 mutation
status were gathered from medical history and histopathology. Results. Two
groups were created to assess the association of microRNAs-10b/21/34a
expression levels: glio-blastoma IDH1-wild type and glioblastoma
IDH1-mutant + Not Other Specified (NOS). The median microRNA-10b
expression level before the initiation of concurrent radiotherapy with
temozolomide was 130.44 (52.20 - 622.53) in the IDH1-wildtype glioblastoma
group and 94.61 (2.13 - 816.89) in the IDH1-mutant + glioblastoma NOS group.
The median microRNA-21 expression level was 57.16 (2.68 - 278.98) in the
IDH1-wildtype glioblastoma group and 69.74 (4.60 - 825.43) in the
IDH1-mutant + glioblastoma NOS group. The median microRNA-34a expression
level was 13.52 (3.16 - 105.20) in the IDH1-wildtype glioblastoma group and
10.11 (1.00 - 210.55) in the IDH1-mutant + glioblastoma NOS group. The
results showed no statistically significant difference in the expression
levels of miR-10b/21/34a between the two groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion. Our
results suggest that the IDH1 mutation status may not be a critical factor
for altered expression of microRNAs-10b/21/34a in glioblastoma patients.
The development and optimization of bus driving cycle for public transportation and mobility systems
Authors: Bayram Huseyin , Ozener Orkun
Published: January 2025

The driving cycles developed for public transportation busses is crucial in
terms of energy efficiency and emissions as well as enhancing fuel economy.
Considering to the public bus transportation driving cycles, both
international standardized like SORT, and regional driving cycles are
created by researchers and authorities to evaluate the energy efficiency and
also to compare the different vehicles with each other. To obtain results
that are closest to real driving conditions in driving cycle tests, the
driving cycles must reflect all the characteristics of the region where they
were created. Otherwise, fuel consumption values obtained using driving
cycles that do not include regional characteristics do not reflect real life
and can lead to misleading results. This study focuses on creating driving
cycles that are closest to real life for public transportation buses in
Istanbul. As a different approach from the driving cycles currently used an
developed, three classifications were made, and multiple driving cycles were
created. Three driving cycles were obtained for specific times of the day.
Four driving cycles were obtained to reflect traffic density across seasons.
To create seasonal cycles, data from 15 bus lines collected over a month was
correlated with the data from 500T bus lines covering a year using a new
method. Additionally, to obtain results closest to real life, road profiles
were designed considering gradient information. Significant differences were
observed in the fuel consumption values calculated using the obtained
driving cycles.

Published: January 2025

Objective

In the Diabetes Virus Detection and Intervention trial, antiviral treatment with pleconaril and ribavirin was shown to decrease the decline in endogenous C-peptide one year after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents compared to placebo. This paper reports the results two and three years after diagnosis.

Research Design and Methods

This was a multicenter, randomized, placebo controlled (1:1) trial of 96 newly diagnosed children and adolescents aged 6-15.9 years. Antiviral treatment (pleconaril and ribavirin) or placebo was given for six months from diagnosis, and participants were followed for three years. The primary outcome was residual C-peptide secretion, assessed by 2-h mixed-meal tolerance test, reported as the area under the curve (AUC). Secondary outcomes included insulin doses and hemoglobin A1c.

Results

At the three-year follow-up, 75 participants attended. At two years, the mean ± standard deviation AUC C-peptide in the placebo group was 0.27 ± 0.33 compared to 0.34 ± 0.37 in the pleconaril and ribavirin group. After three years, the AUC had decreased to 0.17 ± 0.23 and 0.25 ± 0.34 respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups. The groups were also comparable with regard to secondary endpoints.

Conclusions

The decreased reduction in C-peptide levels after antiviral treatment is no longer present after two or three years. Further investigations are needed to explore options to use antiviral treatment in the prevention and treatment of type 1 diabetes.
Clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential and risk of microvascular complications among individuals with type 2 diabetes: a cohort study
Authors: Wei Jiahe , Yu Yuefeng , Wu Hanzhang , Li Yingjun , Wang Ningjian , Tan Xiao
Published: January 2025

Clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is associated with macrovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease and stroke. However, the effects of CHIP on microvascular complication have not been evaluated in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study included 20,712 T2D participants without prevalent diabetic microvascular complication (DMCs) and hematologic malignancy at baseline. CHIP and related phenotypes were identified using whole exome sequencing derived from peripheral blood samples. The incidence of DMCs defined as a composite of diabetic kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, or diabetic neuropathy. Associations of any CHIP with incident DMCs and subtypes were assessed using Cox regression. Gene-specific analyses also conducted to determine the effect of mutated driver genes with DMCs. During a median follow-up of 13.0 years, 5,673 participants developed DMCs. Any CHIP was associated with high risk of DMCs (HR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.10-1.38; P<0.001), specifically, diabetic retinopathy (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.13-1.57; P=0.001) and diabetic kidney disease (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.10-1.45; P=0.001), but not diabetic neuropathy. Gene-specific analyses suggested that DNMT3A, TET2, NF1, and Spliceosome genes were associated with risk of developing DMCs. CHIP increases the risk of developing DMCs in individuals with T2D, independently of other risk factors. These findings offered potential implications for the prevention and management of DMCs.
An algorithm for identifying causes of reoperations after orthopedic fracture surgery in health administrative data: a diagnostic accuracy study using the Danish National Patient Register
Authors: Jensen Signe S , Rønnegaard Anders B , Gundtoft Per H , Kold Søren , Viberg Bjarke
Published: January 2025

Background and purpose: Disease- or procedure-specific registers offer valuable information but are costly and often inaccurate regarding outcome measures. Alternatively, automatically collected data from administrative systems could be a solution, given their high completeness. Our primary aim was to validate a method for identifying secondary surgical procedures (reoperations) in the Danish National Patient Register (DNPR) within the first year following primary fracture surgery. The secondary aim was to evaluate the accuracy of the diagnosis and procedure codes used to determine the causes of these reoperations. Finally, we developed algorithms to enhance precision in identifying the reasons for reoperations.Methods: In a national cohort of 11,551 patients with primary fracture surgery, reoperations were identified through subsequent surgical procedure codes in the DNPR. Each patient record was reviewed to confirm the reoperations and causes. To improve accuracy, a stepwise algorithm was developed for each cause.Results: We identified 2,347 possible reoperations; 2,212 were validated as true reoperations by review of patient record, i.e., a 94% positive predictive value (PPV). However, the coding for the causes of these reoperations was inaccurate. Our algorithm identified major reoperations with a sensitivity/PPV of 89/77%, minor reoperations 99%/89%, infections 77/85%, nonunion 82/56%, early re-osteosynthesis 90/75%, and secondary arthroplasties 95/87%.Conclusion: While the overall reported reoperations in the DNPR had a high PPV, the predefined diagnosis and procedure codes alone were not sufficient to accurately determine the causes of these reoperations. An algorithm was developed for this purpose, yielding acceptable results for all causes except nonunion.

Published: January 2025

Background and purpose: Early migration of the uncemented cruciate-sacrificing rotating platform ATTUNE and Low Contact Stress (LCS) tibial components was classified as at-risk for aseptic loosening rates exceeding 6.5% at 15 years based on recent fixation-specific migration thresholds. In this secondary report of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) we aimed to evaluate whether the 5-year migration, inducible displacement, and the clinical outcome of the ATTUNE components were comparable to those of the LCS.Methods: Patients from the initial 2-year radiostereometric analysis (RSA) RCT were recruited for a 5-year follow-up. At 5 years, participants underwent 2 supine and 1 loaded RSA examination, clinical assessments, and questionnaires. Migration was analyzed using maximum total point motion (MTPM), translations, and rotations, focusing on 5-year migration, continuous migration (> 0.10 mm/year), and inducible displacement. Revisions, along with clinical and functional outcomes, were also evaluated.Results: At 5 years, 24 ATTUNE and 24 LCS implants were analyzed. The mean MTPM was similar for tibial components (ATTUNE 1.13mm [confidence interval (CI) 0.94–1.33]; LCS 1.24 mm [CI 1.05–1.46]) but significantly lower for the ATTUNE femoral component (1.14 mm [CI 0.92–1.39]) than LCS 1.87 mm [CI 1.57–2.21]). 2-to-5-year migration rates were comparable, but 11 ATTUNE and 7 LCS exceeded 0.10 mm MTPM/year, indicating a higher risk of loosening. Inducible displacement was similar, although 1 patient with a tibial ATTUNE showed excessive displacement (3.34 mm MTPM) with focal osteolysis but no symptoms. 1 revision 10 days post-surgery was performed for an ATTUNE insert spinout, resolved with an isolated insert exchange. Clinical and functional outcomes were comparable.Conclusion: At the 5-year follow-up, ATTUNE tibial components showed similar migration, while the femoral component migrated significantly less than the LCS, which mainly occurred during the first 2 years. 2-to-5-year migration rates, inducible displacement, and clinical and functional outcomes were comparable. These findings suggest a comparable long-term risk of aseptic loosening between the uncemented ATTUNE and LCS knee systems.

Background and purpose: Vascularized fibular grafting following tumor resection is an essential treatment option in limb salvage surgery. We aimed to evaluate: (I) bone healing, (II) complications and reoperations, (III) limb salvage, and (IV) survival.Methods: We present a retrospective evaluation of a national cohort comprising 27 patients. The indications were 13 cases of Ewing sarcoma, 12 cases of osteosarcoma, and 2 cases of giant cell tumor. The median age at surgery was 16 years (interquartile range [IQR] 10–18), and the median follow-up was 82 months (IQR 32–101). Patients were analyzed overall, as well as in subgroups based on tumor location (upper versus lower extremity) and pathology (osteosarcoma versus Ewing sarcoma).Results: The primary rate of graft union was 63%, and after secondary procedures the overall rate of graft union was 67%, with a median time to union of 13 months (IQR 9–17). The reoperation rate was 74%, while the limb salvage rate was 93%. The 5-year overall survival rate was 81% (95% confidence interval [CI] 61–92). Patients with upper extremity tumors were more likely to attain graft union (risk ratio [RR] 5.5, CI 1.3–31.5) and less likely to undergo multiple reoperations (RR 0.3, CI 0.8–0.9) than patients with lower extremity tumors.Conclusion: Vascularized fibular grafting following tumor resection was associated with a graft union rate of 67%, a high frequency of reoperations, a high limb salvage rate (93%), and a 5-year survival rate of 81%.

Published: January 2025

Selective laser melting (SLM), an emerging technology, constructs components through layer-by-layer material deposition and has gained popularity in the industry due to its advantages such as shorter lead time, higher flexibility, lower material wastage, and the capability to fabricate complex geometries. However, the development of process databases for new materials is often time-consuming and laborious because SLM involves multiple physical fields and multiple process steps with numerous process parameters. Recently, machine learning is renowned for its excellent capabilities in tasks such as classification, regression, and clustering. In this study, hybrid Gaussian boosted regression that combines Gaussian process regression with gradient boosting machine was used to obtain a process database for CuCrZr alloy, optimizing for density with laser power and scanning speed as characteristic parameters, under limited samples. A machine learning model was developed using fivefold cross-training on 36 datasets. With a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.96587, the model demonstrated a high level of fit. Next, by extending the prediction range, we achieved process parameters for the highest five densities of samples. Finally, the model’s precision was confirmed with experiments on the five predicted maximum densities, with all predictions falling within a ±0.09% error margin from the experimental values. This research precisely predicted the densities of SLM-formed CuCrZr parts, created a comprehensive process parameter database, and substantiated both theoretical and practical backing for the 3D printing of CuCrZr parts.

Published: January 2025

A field experiment was conducted during the kharif seasons (June to October) from 2019–2020 to 2021–2022 at farmers’ fields through ICAR-CAZRI Krishi Vigyan Kendra Kachchh-II to investigate the impact of cluster frontline demonstrations (CFLDs) on groundnut productivity and profitability. During the experiment period, a total of 75 CFLDs on Integrated Crop Management (ICM) in groundnut with the high-yielding variety Girnar-2 were undertaken in a 30-hectare area across 12 villages in the Bhuj, Nakhatrana, and Anjar talukas of Kachchh district. The improved variety Girnar-2 with a full package of practices was demonstrated in the plots, while existing technology was treated as the farmer’s practice (local check). Based on three years of data, the improved practice (IP) resulted in an average seed yield of 2215 kg ha-1, which was an increase of 20.08% compared to the farmer’s practice yield of 1826 kg ha-1. The demonstrated technology showed an average extension gap, technology gap, and technology index of 389 kg ha-1, 692 kg ha-1, and 23.80%, respectively. The economic analysis of the demonstrations revealed the viability of the enhanced technology, with a net return of 72,881 Rs. ha-1 and a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 3.01, compared to 57,691 Rs. ha-1 and a BCR of 2.67 for conventional technology. The results revealed that the adoption of the high-yielding variety with a full package of practices significantly increased groundnut productivity and reduced both extension and technology gaps.

La parole intérieure, quelle perception?
Authors: Bergounioux Gabriel
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the series of works that were the first to question representations of endophasia in philosophy, in lyric poetry and the fin-de-siècle novel in the 19th century, in the 20th-century human sciences and, more discreetly, in linguistics. It examines the status of inner speech from four angles: should an inner, auditory perception be considered to be of the same nature as an outer perception? Since endophasia does not correspond to any tangible signal, is it a perception or a production of the speaker? To what extent is inner speech accessible to an awareness of its actual presence? Is the representation of perception distinct from perception itself, given that both are linguistic in nature? Moreover, the diversity of terms used to describe the phenomenon shows how difficult it is to define the status of a mode of speech production that takes place without any signal. Inner speech comes to the surface of reflective awareness in interaction and in mental soliloquy; it is also activated in order to recognise the interlocutor’s speech. Confronted with its relationship to ‘thought,’ which focuses attention on content, inner speech is still debated today, as its linguistic dimension stands out from cognitive and mentalist approaches.

Published: January 2025

Buried power rails (BPR) and backside power delivery networks (BSPDN) technologies are promising tools for reducing the size of CMOS circuits. They provide significant improvements in many system-level parameters, such as IR-drop and power losses are reduced by more than 2 times, and by more than 4 times when using a buried power rail made of ruthenium, and the delay on critical paths and the overall area of the circuit are also significantly reduced. However, to fully realize the potential of this technology, a number of process and architectural issues need to be addressed. In this paper, the authors discuss the prospects and challenges associated with the implementation of buried power rails and backside power distribution networks. The physical characteristics of the semiconductor devices were also selected for process simulation in the Synopsys Sentaurus TCAD environment, as well as for physical synthesis in commercial CAD systems and open-source software. The developed models and methods will be included in the open flow for CMOS integrated circuits design with a 15 nm process and below.

This theoretical article examines the crucial role school-based research and development (R&D) teams can play in systematically fostering innovation and cultivating adaptive learning environments within educational institutions. R&D teams are diverse groups of skilled professionals focused on driving complex innovation projects through an iterative, user-focused development process. They research, develop, and implement new educational strategies, tools, curricula, and practices in collaboration with educators, administrators, students, and external partners. By synthesizing literature on innovation theories like Disruptive Innovation (Christensen, 1995), Diffusion of Innovations (Rogers, 1962), Open Innovation (Chesbrough, 2003), and innovation culture in education, the article develops a comprehensive framework for embedding innovation in schools. The aim is to provide insights and actionable recommendations for educational leaders, policymakers, and researchers on leveraging these teams as catalysts for transformative change. In this vein, fostering supportive organizational structures, internal/external partnerships, capacity building for innovation and free-flow of knowledge enables these teams to drive the development and implementation of innovative pedagogies and organizational practices. Furthermore, visionary leadership nurturing an innovation-friendly climate and teacher empowerment are highlighted as vital for sustaining innovation (Fullan, 2001; Hargreaves & Shirley, 2009). Additionally, the article emphasizes the need for government policies incentivizing educational innovation. It provides a framework for harnessing R&D teams' potential in cultivating adaptive learning environments. The article concludes with a call for further research to validate and refine the proposed model, offering educational stakeholders concrete strategies to unlock the transformative capacity of R&D teams. This article will be researched as part of a doctorate work.

Fashion pedagogy, an emerging field within fashion studies, plays a critical role in contemporary culture by integrating elements of body education, expression, and socio-economic values. This paper explores the epistemological foundations of fashion pedagogy through a comprehensive review of the current scientific literature. We address the multifaceted relationship between fashion pedagogy and body education, highlighting how this discipline influences and reshapes people's perceptions of body image and self-expression within informal education. The interplay between fashion pedagogy and capitalist values is also examined, revealing how fashion education reflects and critiques prevailing economic ideologies, promoting a more conscious engagement with fashion as a form of cultural production. Furthermore, this study delves into the interdisciplinary nature of fashion pedagogy, which draws upon diverse fields such as art, aesthetics, psychology, anthropology, sociology, and business to enrich learning experiences and outcomes. The paper also reviews how fashion pedagogy can be implemented within the curricula of higher education institutions, emphasizing innovative teaching methods that foster critical thinking and creativity. Through an analysis of various educational models and practices, we identify key trends and challenges that influence the effectiveness and relevance of fashion pedagogy in today’s educational landscape. This paper argues that fashion pedagogy is significant in educating about fashion and fostering critical awareness among students about its broader social, cultural, aesthetic, and economic implications. It is a pivotal tool for empowering students to navigate and influence the evolving dynamics of contemporary culture through informed and thoughtful fashion practice.

This paper presents the outcomes of an innovative induction program designed to support beginner teachers during their first year of teaching. It emphasizes the mentoring strategy and the effectiveness of utilizing genuine pedagogical tools that were specifically developed to address the professional needs of new teachers. The induction program tailored for beginner teachers utilized a pedagogical intervention strategy and differentiated approach to develop a new toolkit for lesson analysis and for individual and group reflective activities developed in the classroom. The induction program provided reflects the professional perspective of a group of mentor trainers involved in the first systemic project that trained the teacher mentors at national level. These trainers developed a pedagogical toolkit that is beneficial for both beginner teachers and mentor teachers. Additionally, the program incorporates a remote mentoring model, which has a significant influence on new teachers’ continuing development.

There has been a growing concern for developing children's social-emotional abilities recently. Studies that address the importance of music in children's lives have concluded that it is closely related to emotional regulation and social interactions. Emotional development reflects children's ability to identify and express their own emotions and also those of others. Social development refers to children's abilities to relate effectively and appropriately to adults and children of a similar age in different social situations.
Our research aimed to verify the influence of musical activities on the development of social-emotional skills of 4- and 5-year-old preschoolers. The research design was an experimental one, examining the oscillation of the dependent variable (level of social-emotional skills) concerning the independent variable (musical activity-based choice) and the oscillation of the dependent variable when the independent variable did not intervene. The study was conducted over 15 weeks and the participants were 46 preschool children from an urban extended-day kindergarten. The instrument used within the research was the Preschool Behaviour Observation Form, developed and adapted based on the dimensions of the domain Social Emotional Development from the Early Childhood Curriculum, 2019.
Analysing the results, the development level of social-emotional skills increased by 61% in the experimental sample due to the introduction of the independent variable. Summarising, the implementation of optional activities based on musical activities in the kindergarten educational process significantly impacted the children's socio-emotional development.
