DESIGN OF CYLINDER HEAD GASKET
Authors: Patil Ms. Viddya Sunil
Published: June 2024

The gas and liquid escaping from the engine due to leakage not only affects the performance of the engine but also pollutes the environment and increases the risk of unexpected accidents. To improve the effectiveness of the gasket sealing, it is important to consider the pre-stressing force of the bolts and the gasket design. Therefore, by applying the appropriate investigative procedures and tests, it becomes important to ensure that the assembly of the cylinder head, bolts, and gasket is both reliable and efficient to achieve the goals of the engine being developed. Before conducting a structural and thermal study of the cylinder head gasket, it is essential to assemble the cylinder head, bolts, and gasket properly, considering the pre-stressing of bolts. The various investigators did not consider the thermal stresses produced on the cylinder head due to temperature distribution in the cylinder head area, and their results reveal that the initial stressing of bolts affects the effectiveness of the cylinder head gasket's sealing. To evaluate the efficiency of cylinder head gaskets and their stress and strain behavior under different loading conditions, the appropriate design of cylinder head gaskets based on contact theory is required. This chapter provides information about the material selection of cylinder head gaskets with different gasket types and gasket joint calculations to determine loss of preload due to gasket seating, loss of preload due to complete connection, available preload after assembly, maximum permissible tightening torque, torsional stress generated in the smallest cross-sectional area of the bolt, cylinder head fixation required preload for each bolt, and tensile stresses generated in the bolt.

Objective: This study aims to examine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of child and adolescent psychiatry consultations and to compare characteristics of outpatient and inpatient consultations.
Methods: A total of 354 patients who were consulted to child and adolescent psychiatry department of a university hospital were included in the study. Data were collected regarding sociodemographic characteristics of patients, departments requesting consultation, diagnoses, and treatment methods.
Results: The cases included in the study had a mean age of 10.6±4.8 years,with 51.4% being girls. Adolescent girls formed the majority of the inpatient group. The pediatric neurology outpatient clinic had the highest frequency of requested consultations (22.3%), and the most common reason for consultation was a suicide attempt (12.1%). Of the cases for which consultation was requested, 67.8% were diagnosed with at least one psychiatric disorder, and the most common diagnoses were anxiety disorders, with 12.7%. In the inpatient group, impulsive suicide attempts and depressive disorders were more frequent compared to the outpatient group, while intellectual disability was less common. Parent education was provided for 97.2% of the cases, pharmacological treatment was recommended for 44.6% of the cases, and the most commonly prescribed medications were selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Psychotherapy and special education were significantly more common in the outpatient group compared to the inpatient treatment group.
Conclusion: The current study revealed significant differences in consultations requested from child and adolescent psychiatry between the outpatient and inpatient groups regarding consultation reasons, diagnoses, and treatment modalities. The findings provide valuable information for clinical practice and service development.
Clinical Outcomes of Intravenous Methylnaltrexone in Children: A Single-Arm Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Raschka Michael , Gahr Kayla , Watson Dave , Lu Melisa
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVES

Constipation is a common adverse event of opioid use that is often difficult to treat. Methylnaltrexone is a therapeutic option for opioid-induced constipation (OIC) approved for oral and subcutaneous use in adults. These administration routes are not always feasible in the pediatric population. The primary objective of this research was to quantify the response rate of methylnaltrexone in pediatric patients when it was administered via the intravenous (IV) route.

METHODS

This retrospective study evaluated patients ages <18 years who received IV methylnaltrexone between January 1, 2013, and June 30, 2020, for OIC. Efficacy was evaluated through documentation of bowel evacuation within 4 hours of methylnaltrexone administration. Adverse events observed within 24 hours of administration were attributed to methylnaltrexone.

RESULTS

Methylnaltrexone was administered to 134 unique patients during the study period. Of these, 46 met exclusion criteria, resulting in 88 patients being included in the study. Patients with an underlying hematology/oncology diagnosis consisted of 77% of the study population, and 23% of patients had an ­underlying medical/surgical diagnosis. The response rate to IV methylnaltrexone was 25% (CI, 16–34).

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this retrospective chart review demonstrate the potential role of IV methylnaltrexone in the pediatric population. Despite the overall lower response rate relative to that reported in adults, IV methylnaltrexone possesses a unique mechanism of action that may serve as an alternative treatment option for patients unable to use the oral and subcutaneous administration routes. There were no significant adverse events seen in the study.

Authors: Van Kimberly , Patel Priyanka H. , Jones Kristen , Jackson Christopher , Faddoul Najla , Pulickal Anoop
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVES

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common bacterial infection in infants. Current practice guidelines suggest a treatment duration of 7 to 14 days. Suboptimal therapy may increase the risk for recurrent UTIs leading to renal scarring and possibly chronic kidney disease. The primary objective is to evaluate the duration of therapy for UTIs and its association with the incidence of recurrent UTIs in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The secondary objectives are to identify the risk factors and the most common organisms for recurrent UTIs.

METHODS

Patients were identified via the diagnosis codes for UTIs and were included if admitted to the NICU and if they received antibiotics prior to hospital discharge. Patients were divided into 2 groups: antibiotic treatment for 7 days or fewer and antibiotic treatment for greater than 7 days.

RESULTS

Eighty-six infants were included in the study. Twenty-six patients received antibiotics for 7 days or fewer, and 60 for more than 7 days. In the study, the median birth weight was 977 g and the median gestational age was 27.6 weeks. There was no significant difference in the rate of recurrent UTIs between the 2 groups (p = 0.66). However, in the subgroup analysis, the incidence was higher for patients receiving antibiotic therapy for fewer than 7 days versus 7 days (p = 0.03).

CONCLUSION

There was no difference in recurrence of UTI between treatment groups (≤7 days versus >7 days), and recurrence was seen in a higher percentage of patients with a urinary tract anomaly.

Son yıllarda klasik Türk edebiyatı araştırmacılarının ilgisinin yoğunlaştığı eserlerin mühim bir kısmını şiir mecmuaları oluşturmaktadır. Şiir mecmuaları, tertip edildikleri dönemin edebî ve kültürel birikimini aksettirmekle birlikte biyografik kaynaklarda kendilerine yer bulamayan şairlerin varlığını haber veren önemli birer kaynak durumundadır. Bir şiir mecmuasında derlenen şiirleri vasıtasıyla tanıştığımız ve bugüne değin -nazire mecmualarında kayıtlı iki nazire gazeli haricinde- hakkında herhangi bir bilgiye sahip olmadığımız şairlerden biri de Na’îmî Çelebi’dir.
15. yüzyılın başlarında klasik Türk şiirinin kuruluş safhasında yaşamış bir şair olduğu anlaşılan Na’îmî Çelebi, şimdiki bilgilerimize göre Anadolu sahası Türk edebiyatında Na’îmî mahlasını kullanan ilk şair durumundadır. Adının “çelebi” unvanıyla anılması ilmiye sınıfına mensup bir şair olma ihtimalini düşündürmektedir. Na’îmî Çelebi, edebiyat tarihimizin temel kaynaklarından tezkirelerde yer alamamış olsa da gazellerinin nazire mecmualarında kaydedilmiş olması onun yaşadığı dönemde tanınır bir şair olduğunu göstermektedir. Elimizde mevcut az sayıdaki şiirlerinden hareketle nazım tekniğine vakıf bir şair kanaati uyandıran Na’îmî Çelebi’nin ekseriyetini gazellerinin oluşturduğu şiirlerine çoğunlukla âşıkâne yer yer de sûfîyâne bir edanın hâkim olduğu ve kolay anlaşılır bir şiir diline sahip olduğu görülmektedir.

Published: June 2024

Motor and outboard boats are the main means by which fishersmen exploit the fisheries resources in these waters. The success of the catch and the efficiency of the fishermen's efforts are strongly influenced by various factors related to the characteristics of the boat, the fishing gear and the condition of the aquatic environment. This study aims to analyse the determinants of catch and catch per unit effort of motorboat and outboard motorboat fishers in bulukumba regency. Data collection techniques used were observation, interview and documentation. The number of samples was 81 modern fishermen (juragan fishermen) of motorboats out of 407 population using the Slovin formula method and 81 outboard motorboat fishermen out of 81 population using the area proportional random sampling method. Data analysis techniques used are statistical tests, classical assumptions tests using SPSS 25 and CPUE analysis. The study found that the length of fishing (X1), volume of diesel (X2), age of fishermen (X4), and fishing experience (X6) had a positive impact on the production of motorboat fishermen's catch (Y1) when examined independently. On the other hand, the number of labour (X3) and formal education of fishermen (X5) were negatively correlated with catch production. The duration of sea time (X7) and the power of the outboard engine (X8) have a positive impact, whereas the volume of petrol (X9), age of fishermen (X10), formal education of fishermen (X11), sea experience (X12), and number of fishing gear used (X13) have a negative impact on the catch rate of outboard motorboat fishermen (Y2). Based on the CPUE (Catch per Unit Effort) value, there has been a fluctuation of motorboat and outboard motorboat fishermen from 2017 to 2021. The average value per year, from 2017 to 2021, was 389.9914kg/trip for motorboat fishermen and 46.66028kg/trip for outboard motorboats. It is recommended to increase the number of fishing gear, particularly trawl gear, and transportation facilities in fishing. Fishers should be incentivised to utilise fishing equipment that is appropriate for the specific kind of fish and local aquatic environments in order to enhance catches and reduce negative impacts on fishing resources.

Comparisons of several archival sources resulted in a better understanding of the operational years of many Swedish clay tobacco pipe factories. This article accounts for the results of archival studies combined with deductive analyses of decorations and markings on clay tobacco pipes manufactured at the clay pipe factory in Alingsås. Findings in archives suggests that clay tobacco pipes manufactured at the factory can be dated between 1738 and 1826, while pipes with royal ciphers, with a high degree of certainty, can be dated to the reigns of the kings they represent. However, further research may result in more precise production date-spans for other pipes made at the factory.

Towns, concepts and perspectives – an orderly chaos. This article is an investigation into towns, concepts and perspectives of towns. The concepts of urbanization, urbanism and urbanity all go back to the Latin word urbs, thereby carrying a bias fromAntiquity. Both present and past concepts demonstrate a range of expectations to certain settlements and a confusing use of language. Criteria reflect a choice of perspective and accessible sources. Six different perspectives have dominated the urbandiscourse. However, there can only be common concepts if a specific perspective is applied. The present orderly chaos of criteria, concepts and perspectives are preferable to commonly adopted definitions, concepts, and views.

The Problem of the Possibility of an Artificial Moral Agent in the Context of Kant’s Practical Philosophy
Authors: Fedotova Yulia Sergeevna
Published: June 2024

The question of whether an artificial moral agent (AMA) is possible implies discussion of a whole range of problems raised by Kant within the framework of practical philosophy that have not exhausted their heuris­tic potential to this day. First, I show the significance of the correlation between moral law and freedom. Since a rational being believes that his/her will is independent of external influences, the will turns out to be governed by the moral law and is autonomous. Morality and freedom are correlated through independence from the external. Accordingly, if the actions of artificial intelligence (AI) are determined by something or someone external to it (by a human), then it does not act morally and freely, but heteronomously. As a consequence of AI’s lack of autonomy, and thus lack of access to the moral law, it does not and cannot have a moral understanding that proceeds from the moral law. Another consequence is that it has no sense of duty, which would follow from the moral law. Thus, moral action becomes impossible for the AMA because it lacks autonomy and moral law, moral understanding and sense of duty. It is concluded that, first, AMA not only cannot be moral, but should not be that, since the inclusion of any moral principle would imply the necessity for the individual to choose it, making the choice of the principle itself immoral. Second, although AI has no will as such, which prima facie makes not only moral but also legal action impossible, it can still act legally in the sense of conforming to legal law, since AI carries a quasi-human will. Thus, it is necessary that the creation of AI should be based not on moral principles, but on legal law that prioritises human freedom and rights.

Association between matrix metalloproteinase-3 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to chronic periodontitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Hu Ankang , Wang Xin , Ai Lisi , Liu Kun , Kong Lingxue
Published: June 2024

Background: This study aimed to explore the correlation between the Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) 1171 5A/6A gene polymorphism and susceptibility to Chronic Periodontitis (CP). Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) without any time or language limitations. The selection criteria included case-control studies examining the association between the MMP-3 gene polymorphism and CP. The data were independently extracted and cross-checked by two reviewers. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the studies. Statistical heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. Results: Five studies, published between 2004 and 2019, met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. No significant association was observed between MMP-3 gene polymorphism and CP susceptibility across all subjects in the four gene models. However, subgroup analysis revealed significant differences based on genotyping methods and smoking habits. Using PCR-RFLP genotyping method, the allele and additive models showed a positive correlation with the risk of CP (5A vs 6A, OR=1.12, 95%CI (1.02č 1.23); 5A5A vs 6A6A, OR=2.85, 95%CI (1.61č4.86)). In contrast, using Sanger sequencing method, the 5A mutation appeared to reduce CP susceptibility (5A vs 6A, OR=0.77, 95%CI (0.67č0.87); 5A5A vs 6A6A, OR= 0.20, 95%CI (0.09č0.42)). Moreover, smoking habits appeared to modulate the risk. Among smokers, the 5A mutation increased susceptibility to CP, while among nonsmokers it decreased. Conclusions: While no significant correlation was found in the overall population, the stratified analysis revealed nuanced relationships contingent on genotyping methods and smoking habits.

Published: June 2024

In recent years, the field of Bayesian modeling of generalized distributions has garnered substantial attention. This surge in interest can be attributed to the remarkable strides made in computational capabilities and the enhanced accessibility of sophisticated software tools. This study aims to apply Bayesian inference methods to the Type I Half-logistic Nadarajah- Haghighi model and compares it with the Exponential model and the Type I Half-logistic Exponential model. These distributions are analyzed and fitted to censored survival data using the probabilistic programming language STAN. To incorporate censored mechanisms within the STAN framework, customized codes are developed. The models are then compared using fully Bayesian model selection methods..

Characterization of High and Stable Yield Genotype for Maize based on Multivariate stability Analysis and Prediction of Crop Yield using Ensemble Learning Techniques
Authors: Haripriya M. , Radhika A.
Published: June 2024

The production of maize globally surpassed the wheat and rice, because it is a staple crop in many regions of the world. Also, in addition to being directly consumed by people, maize is also used to make corn ethanol, animal food and several other products of maize, therefore the stability and high yield of maize is an extremely crucial part to promote long-term growth and food protection. This study looked at the effects of G ? E interaction on yield stability in 23 hybrids of maize in 53 distinct Indian environments. On the basis of analyses of variance, stability tests for multivariate stability parameters were carried out. In terms of all characteristics, the genotype and environment (G ? E interaction) differences were highly significant (p < 0.01), according to the pooled analysis of variance. A GGE biplot was created with the two principal components, which accounted for 66.02% and 8.51% variation in GEI for the corresponding yield per hectare. The GGE biplot and AMMI model exposed genotypes SYN916801, Bio 9682, DKC 9215, NMH 4313 as good with an indication of high mean yield and stability within the environment that were tested. By the results, we suggest breeding might boost output yield, and also the identified genotypes may be suggested for commercial farming. Also, for the creation of successful agricultural and food policy, reliable crop production estimates are essential. So, examinations were made on the machine learning techniques such as random forest and Gradient Boosting algorithm to predict crop yield responses in maize. While assessing statistical performance, GBM was found highly capable of predicting yield as compared to RF. Result showed that GBM is a good and adaptable machine learning technique for yield predictions.. KEYWORDS :Additive main effect and Multiplicative interaction, G ?

Published: June 2024

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a vital global food source, particularly in Asia, where it constitutes 60 to 70 per cent of cereal production. However, rice cultivation faces many challenges including seed-borne fungal pathogens. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the incidence and severity of seed-borne fungal pathogens in various rice varieties and their relationship with environmental parameters during different growth stages. Seed samples were collected from different locations in Nadia district, West Bengal, and analyzed for seed health. The prevalence of Helminthosporium oryzae, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium sp., Curvularia lunata, Penicillium sp., Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Trichoconis padwickii was recorded. Compared to the other diseases, Fusarium sp. shows a distribution with greater kurtosis deviation from normalcy, suggesting the occurrence of more extreme values. In contrast, the tailedness of Aspergillus niger's distribution is more akin to that of a normal distribution. Eight varieties of rice were examined for their susceptibility to various seed-borne fungal pathogens, revealing that variety Shatabdi exhibited a high vulnerability to these pathogens. The isolation of seed-borne pathogens was carried out at different growth stages of rice, and it was observed that the harvesting stage is particularly susceptible to seed-borne pathogens. Temperature and humidity influence pathogen intensity differently across years, indicating the complex interplay of environmental factors in disease dynamics. This research contributes to understanding the temporal and spatial dynamics of seed-borne fungal pathogens in rice, facilitating the development of targeted management strategies for improved crop health and yield. .

Background: Renal fornix rupture with fluid extravasation is a rare complication in cases of ureteral obstruction, which is usually caused by obstructive ureterolithiasis. The symptoms of renal fornix rupture are not very specific and can easily go unnoticed due to their underlying cause.
Case representation: The present article reports a case of a patient of a 70-year-old, male, who was diagnosed with a ruptured renal fornix due to acute ureteral obstruction, following clinical assessment and a non-contrast CT scan. The proposed course of action was the endoscopic placement of a double J ureteral catheter.
Conclusion: In the case described, the conservative treatment that was chosen by passing a double J catheter through the left ureter, for the patient proved to be an alternative to surgical treatment in the acute event, reducing the risk of possible complications from the operation. It was possible to conclude that although renal fornix rupture is a rare emergency with multiple etiologies, conservative treatment with urinary diversion using a double J ureteral stent was effective in solving the patient's acute condition.

Die Bundesregierung hat am vergangenen Mittwoch beschlossen, die im Koalitionsvertrag vereinbarte Wohngemeinnützigkeit wieder einzuführen. Konkret soll mit dem Jahressteuergesetz 2024 auch die „Förderung wohngemeinnütziger Zwecke“ in § 52 AO verankert werden, der die gemeinnützigen Zwecke im Sinne des Steuerrechts listet. In der Folge können Wohnungsunternehmen, die bezahlbaren Wohnraum zur Verfügung stellen, von Steuererleichterungen profitieren. Der vorherrschenden Logik einer auf den Marktausgleich orientierten Wohnungspolitik wird hiermit ein alternatives Paradigma gegenübergestellt: Nunmehr soll sich nicht mehr nur die Profitorientierung lohnen, sondern auch die gemeinwohlorientierte Wohnraumbewirtschaftung belohnt werden.

The CSDDD requires companies to carry out due diligence on actual and potential human rights and environmental adverse impacts. This means companies have to identify harmful impacts in their value chains and take appropriate measures to prevent, mitigate, or bring them to an end. In this two-part blog post, we will look at which environmental impacts are covered by the CSDDD and how they are addressed. Our intention is to provide a starting point for the debate by summarising the outcome of the legislative process, explaining how we got there, and offering some thoughts on where we might go next.

Kenyamanan termal merupakan perasaan dimana seseorang merasa nyaman dengan suhu lingkungan sekitarnya. Kenyamanan termal di dalam ruang dipengaruhi oleh temperatur udara, kelembaban udara, kecepatan udara, radiasi panas dan aktivitas fisik. Jika kenyamanan termal didalam ruang tidak tercapai, maka mahasiswa dan dosen akan sulit berkonsentrasi dan kinerja belajar mengajar akan menurun. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tiga ruang kuliah yaitu R. 201, R. 301, dan R. 303 di Gedung Fakultas Teknik Universitas Krisnadwipayana. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui hasil nilai PMV dan PPD dengan menggunakan software CBE Thermal Comfort Tool. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen yaitu dengan cara mengumpulkan data yang berupa angka melalui pengukuran langsung di ruang kelas kemudian akan dihitung dan dianalisis dengan software CBE Thermal Comfort Tool terutama dalam menemukan nilai PMV dan PPD, karena perhitungan ini cukup rumit tanpa bantuan software. Jika perhitungan kenyamanan termal belum tercapai maka dilakukan eksperimen agar kenyamanan termal dapat tercapai dengan memodifikasi variabel independen yang akan mempengaruhi variabel dependennya yaitu nilai PMV dan PPD. Hasil analisis sebelum melakukan eksperimen di tiga ruang kelas tidak tercapai kenyamanan termalnya, sehingga perlu melakukan modifikasi salah satu variable yaitu kecepatan udara senilai 0,8 m/s sehingga hasilnya kenyamanan termal di tiga ruang kelas tersebut tercapai. Kesimpulannya untuk mencapai tingkat kenyamanan termal dengan cara memberikan bukaan untuk pergerakan udara didalam ruangan atau dengan penggunaan AC (Air Conditioner) bila diperlukan untuk menurunkan suhu ruangan.

his study aims to analyze the views of Islamic scholars on prenuptial agreements in the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) in Indonesia. The research method used is document analysis of relevant fatwas from various sources, such as official websites of fatwa institutions, fiqh books, and scholarly articles discussing prenuptial agreements. The study shows that Islamic scholars do not oppose prenuptial agreements with certain conditions; in fact, they view it as a way to prevent conflicts by clearly defining the rights and obligations of couples. Although permitted in Islam, agreements must be made in good faith and in accordance with religious values and principles of justice. This study enriches the understanding of the practice of prenuptial agreements in Islam and its relevance in Indonesian Muslim society. The findings are expected to guide the government, prospective couples, and researchers in developing policies and further research related to modern marriage in Indonesia.
