Sakroiliak eklem biyomekaniği sağlık ve hastalıkta: Bir anlatısal derleme

Özet

Sakroiliak (Sİ) eklem, bel ağrısı olan hastaların %10 ila %25'inde birincil ağrı kaynağı olarak belirtilen bir eklemdir. Sİ eklem öncelikli olarak stabiliteye yönelik tasarlanmış olup vücudun üst kısmı ve omurganın ağırlığını dağıtarak alt ekstremitelere iletmek, gövdenin pelvis üzerindeki dönüşünü sınırlamak ve hamile kadınlarda doğumun kolaylaştırılmasını sağlamak şeklinde temel işlevleri bulunur. Genel anlamda eklemdeki hareketin 3 vücut düzleminde meydana geldiği, ancak ilerleyen yaşla birlikte hareketin yavaş yavaş azaldığı kabul görmüştür. Benzersiz anatomik ve fizyolojik özellikleri, eklemi mekanik strese karşı duyarlı hale getirir ve aynı zamanda Sİ eklem ağrısının tanısında zorluklar yaratır. Sİ eklemin biyomekaniğindeki değişiklik veya yaralanmalar sonucunda kas ve ligament gibi çevre dokularda meydana gelen değişiklikler ağrı ile belirginleşir. Sakroiliak eklem disfonksiyonu yaşayan çok sayıda hasta olmasına rağmen, semptomlar hastalar arasında tutarsız bir şekilde ortaya çıktığından tanı ve tedavi için optimal yöntemler konusunda anlaşmazlıklar vardır. Bu derleme, Sİ ekleminin anotomi ve kinematiğini değerlendirirken fonksiyonel eklem biyomekaniğinin önemini vurgulamayı ve Sİ eklem disfonksiyonu ve inflamatuar hastalıklarında görülen patomekaniği incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Authors: Odumesi Abolaji Oladimeji , Olubiyi Timilehin Olasoji , Akpoviroro Kowo Solomon
Published: November 2024

The common factors determining Commercial banks’ lending to SMEs are internal and external
factors. This study assessed the combined effect of these two factors that determine the commercial
banks’ credit accessibility and SMEs’ growth in Nigeria. Data from 1990 to 2023 were used to
evaluate the hypothesis. The outcome demonstrates that internal factors of commercial bank
factors on credit accessibility to SMEs was 0.039110 and statistically significant at the 5% level
(p-value = 0.0254). The outcome suggests that internal factors of commercial bank determinants
on the availability of credit to SMEs play a significant impact in the expansion of SMEs in Nigeria.
At the 5 percent level, the external influence of commercial banks on SMEs' access to credit was
-0.014003 and statistically insignificant (p-value = 0.2757). The results will substantially aid in
designing and implementing monetary policy with regard to the cash reserve requirement. It also
conveys to SMEs the significance of cash reserve requirement in improving loan accessibility in
Nigeria. As a result, the paper recommends that monetary policy be continually improved to favour
SMEs because doing so will facilitate their expansion.

Authors: Huang Wei , Liu Bin , Yao Kunpeng
Published: November 2024

In order to solve the problem of low rock carrying efficiency of coring drilling tools in the process of coring operation under extreme ultra-high temperature and high-pressure environment, and considering the key rock carrying parameters such as coring bit type, cuttings particle size, drilling speed and drilling fluid viscosity in different formations, the three-dimensional model and flow field coupling model of coring tools with different specifications are established. The finite element method is used to evaluate the rock carrying capacity of the annulus of the coring outer cylinder. The results show that for the same type of coring tools, reducing the particle size of cuttings, increasing the viscosity of drilling fluid and reducing the drilling speed can reduce the volume fraction of residual cuttings and improve the rock carrying capacity of coring tools. For the 121,140,172 type coring tools, when the two drilling speeds are 0.8 m/h and 2.1 m/h respectively, the rock carrying capacity gap decreases with the increase of cuttings particle size. When the two drilling speeds of 203 type coring tools are 0.8m/h and 2.1m/h respectively, the difference of rock carrying capacity increases with the increase of cuttings size.

Fault Tolerant Control of Grid Connected Inverters Based on Low-Voltage Ride Through
Authors: Wang Zaisheng , Zhao Shiya , Li Yang , Yang Fang , Zhao Zhan
Published: November 2024

To enhance the reliability of new energy grid connected systems, a fault-tolerant model predictive control strategy with low-voltage ride-through capability for grid connected inverter bridge arms has been proposed. Firstly, the operational principles following a single-phase bridge arm fault in the grid-tied inverter are analyzed. Then, a fault-tolerant structure for the grid connected inverter is established by creating a virtual bridge arm using direct current-side capacitors. Subsequently, a current prediction model is established, and control is implemented using redundant vectors. Additionally, by dynamically adjusting reactive current compensation commands based on the relationship between grid voltage drops and reactive current commands, the system is ensured to maintain continuous and stable operation even during grid voltage fluctuations. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that this fault-tolerant control strategy can still maintain the continuous and stable operation of the system when bridge arm faults occur due to grid voltage drops at the inverter grid connection point.

Building Sociological Theory in the Global South: Problems and Prospects
Authors: Mondal Dr. Lipon
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the historical and contemporary status of sociological theory in the global south. In doing so, it examines three research questions. First, what social forces did contribute to making, remaking, or ending sociological theory in the global north? Next, what societal factors did impede the development of sociological theory in the global south? Third, how can sociologists in the global south build sociological theory? This article surveys northern sociological theories best known to date to examine the first question. In particular, it explores the complete trajectories (their birth, development, and crisis) of two grand theories in northern sociology called Functionalism and Marxism. In investigating the second and third research questions, this paper traces the historical status of southern sociological theory by surveying the extant sociological literature from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It deploys historical and comparative methodological approaches to scrutinize the global literature on sociological theory. One of the article’s central findings is that while northern sociological theories emerged, expanded, and ended due to the structural necessities of northern societies, southern sociological theories were unseen because of the absence of such needs in southern societies. Another finding shows that although southern sociology lacks sociological theory, it may produce new sociological theory by drawing on indigenous philosophies, postcolonial studies, and emerging global realities. Overall, this study critically examines the theoretical trajectories in western sociology and the challenges and possibilities of theory building in southern sociology. Keywords: Sociological Theory, Theory Building, Western Sociology, Southern Sociology, Functionalism, Marxism, Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Exploring human movement as a source of inspiration in contemporary art and design through biomechanics
Authors: Wang Jiangdong
Published: November 2024

This study explores the integration of biomechanical data into the creative process of contemporary art and design, intending to assess how human movement can serve as a source of inspiration for artists and designers. The central hypothesis is that biomechanical insights—such as joint angles, muscle activation, and movement trajectories—can enhance creative outputs by providing a scientific foundation for design decisions, resulting in more innovative, dynamic, and functional outcomes than traditional inspiration methods. To test this hypothesis, 36 participants were divided into two groups: a control group using conventional design approaches and an experimental group using biomechanical data. Key findings from the study indicate that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group across all measured creative outcomes. The experimental group demonstrated higher levels of originality (mean difference = 1.72, p < 0.001), complexity (mean difference = 1.84, p < 0.001), functionality (mean difference = 2.02, p < 0.001), and aesthetic appeal (mean difference = 1.57, p < 0.001). Additionally, the experimental group completed their designs more efficiently, with a notable reduction in the time to complete the creative process. Correlation analysis revealed that movement features such as velocity and muscle activation positively influenced originality and complexity, while joint angles and acceleration were more closely related to functionality.

This study investigates how the foundational bases of internet-only banks shape consumer attitudes and intentions to use these services. Specifically, it examines how consumer attitudes and usage intentions toward internet-only banks are moderated by factors such as involvement, purpose of use, and construal level. This research contrasts consumer attitudes based on the foundational bases of internet-only banks (ICT-driven vs. bank-driven) and analyzes whether involvement (high vs. low) and usage purpose (deposit vs. loan) have moderating effects on these attitudes. Furthermore, it explores whether construal level (low vs. high) moderates usage intentions depending on the bank’s foundational base (ICT-driven vs. bank-driven). For empirical analysis, two types of surveys representing ICT-driven and bank-driven internet-only banks were administered to a sample of 360 participants, including university students, graduate students, and the general public in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. Key Findings: 1) Consumer attitudes were significantly more favorable toward ICT-driven internet-only banks compared to bank-driven counterparts.  2) High involvement correlated with more positive attitudes toward ICT-driven internet-only banks, whereas low involvement correlated with more favorable attitudes toward bank-driven banks.  3) For usage purpose, consumers with a loan-oriented purpose demonstrated a stronger positive attitude toward ICT-driven internet-only banks, while, counter to the hypothesis, deposit-oriented consumers also showed a preference for ICT-driven banks.  4) Regarding construal level, lower construal levels were associated with stronger usage intentions for ICT-driven internet-only banks. Unexpectedly, high construal levels also displayed elevated usage intentions for ICT-driven models. In conclusion, initial consumer responses to internet-only banks, which incorporate ICT as an enabling technology within essential financial services, appear to prioritize convenience and procedural efficiency. This study thus offers theoretical insights suggesting that both internet-only and traditional banks should address these consumer demands by enhancing service speed and simplicity.
The Implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) in Increasing the Safety Standards for New Pesticides Used on Foods
Authors: AlQahtani Saad Nasser
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) and its impact on enhancing safety standards for pesticides used on food in the United States. Initially, the study explores the Delaney Clause—a strict standard prohibiting carcinogenic food additives—which FQPA replaced with a more flexible "reasonable certainty of no harm" criterion. This shift allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess pesticide risk with consideration of potential benefits, even if a substance is carcinogenic at high doses. The paper also critiques the EPA's implementation challenges, including reliance on quantitative risk assessment (QRA) and cumulative risk assessment, which quantify risks of multiple chemical exposures but face informational and regulatory limitations. Recommendations focus on refining judicial review and integrating cumulative risk assessment to strengthen the FQPA’s capacity to safeguard public health, especially for vulnerable populations such as children. This study underscores the importance of regulatory clarity and rigorous assessment methods in pesticide management.

With the increasing complexity of the working environment and the diversification of mission requirements of UAVs, traditional UAVs have a fixed structure and single function. It is difficult to be applied in occasions with complex environments and changing load demands. The modular reconfigurable flight array (MRFA) is composed of no less than four isomorphic unit modules that are freely spliced together. By adding or removing flight unit modules and adjusting the arrangement of flight unit modules, the configuration of the MRFA can be changed, so that it can adapt to complex environments and then complete different flight missions. In the process of MRFA research and development, online configuration identification has become one of important problem to be solved. In this paper, a configuration recognition algorithm is designed based on the breadth-first searching method to identify the online structure of MRFA firstly. Then, the dynamic model of the aircraft is carried out according to the obtained configuration information. At the same time, the mathematical model and configuration information of the MRFA are combined to establish an optimization control allocation mechanism to allocate suitable rotational speed for multiple rotors. Finally, several examples are carried out to show that the proposed technology can recognize the configuration with 100% recognition rate and average online recognition time 569.4ms. Then a cascade PID controller is designed to realize the flight control of the irregular MRFA with faster tracking performance of no more than 40 seconds.
Long-term Traffic Flow Prediction using Stochastic Configuration Networks for Smart Cities
Authors: Lin Yuqi
Published: November 2024

Accurate predictions of traffic flow are very meaningful to city managers. With such information, traffic systems can better coordinate traffic signals and reduce congestion. By understanding traffic patterns, navigation systems can provide real-time routing suggestions that avoid traffic jams, save time, and reduce fuel consumption. However, traffic flow will be interfered with by multiple factors such as collection time and place. In this paper, we propose to use stochastic configuration networks (SCNs) to predict the traffic flow. The network is trained through stepwise construction, and the network parameters are effectively optimized based on the approximation theorem and convergence analysis optimization mechanism. The proposed network automatically adjusts its structure according to the complexity of traffic flow to better adapt to the complex non-linearity of traffic flow. We observed that the proposed model achieves better prediction performance overall and greater flexibility in the length of the prediction period compared to the benchmarks using the Guangzhou urban traffic flow dataset. It's worth noting that SCNs consistently outperform other models across different prediction intervals. They yield RMSE improvements of up to 10.73% for 10-minute predictions, 5.02% for 30-minute predictions, and 11.21% for 60-minute predictions compared to the least effective models. The R-value also exhibits steady enhancement, increasing up to 0.78%, 0.65%, and 2.33% for 10-minute, 30-minute, and 60-minute predictions, respectively. These notable advancements, combined with the model's computational efficiency, especially in short-term predictions, underscore the effectiveness and practicality of SCNs in traffic flow prediction tasks.
