Determinants of the Behavior of Households in Ouagadougou Regarding the Choice of Cooking Energy
Authors: Yoro Deme El Hadji
Published: February 2024

The Burkinabe energy context is characterized by a predominance of the use of biomass energies, the country's dependence on fossil fuels, low and inequitable access to modern energies and very low valorization of endogenous renewable energies. Households use these different types of energy for cooking, heating food and heating water. The choice of these energies depends on several criteria. The analysis of the characteristics which can influence this choice is based on the discrete choice model resulting from the hypothesis of utility maximization behavior of the economic agent. This analysis reveals that certain household characteristics including household size, high income and the level of education of the head of household have an effect on energy choice although it is weak. The environmental criterion has no effect on the choice of households and the observation is that the choice of households is mainly based on their desire for comfort. The environmental reason is rarely mentioned. Given the weakness of the vegetation cover in the country, it would be appropriate to intensify the supervision of the wood sector, to strengthen the actions already undertaken (reduction of wood consumption, promotion of energy alternatives, safeguarding and restoration of forests) and the capacities of the actors and finally placed great emphasis on the need to provide quality education to raise popular awareness of environmental issues.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a self-pollinating annual grass which is cultivated as staple crop widely cultivated in the world belong to the family poaceae. Wheat plays a vital role in human and animal nutrition because it is a major source of carbohydrates. Drought is a generally prolonged period of dryness which creates significant damage to crops and prevents their effective growth. It can also refer to a prolonged period of extremely low precipitation, especially one that has a negative impact on growing or living conditions. The nutritional and versatile value of wheat grain recognizes it so important that it can be refined into semolina, flour, and other products such as cookies, bread, pastries, noodles, pasta and couscous also stated that wheat is largely used to make chapatti, cakes and other food products. The germplasm was comprised of test varieties or test treatments and check varieties or control treatments. The field experiment was out by utilizing augmented block design. Parameters like germination %, tillers per plant, canopy temperature, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), days to 50% heading, flag leaf area (cm2), days to maturity, plant height (cm) were evaluated. Under drought condition yield/plant had positive and highly significant correlation with number of tillers, seed weight/spike and positive non-significant with NDVI, flag leaf area, days to maturity and thousand kernel weight under drought condition.
The Role of the Nurse in the Optimal Care of Patients with Heart Failure
Authors: Kaszuba Ms. Małgorzata
Published: February 2024

Heart failure (HF) is a clinical condition that requires comprehensive medical care, consisting of supervision by a cardiologist, primary care physician (PCP), nurse practitioner and nutritionist. A physiotherapist, pharmacologist play a no less important role, and psychological support for both the patient himself and his family can be equally helpful, which can positively influence the treatment process. A significant problem in the care of patients with HF are repeated hospitalizations, which can result from the progression of the disease itself, but also from suboptimal therapy, comorbidities or noncompliance. As each hospitalization worsens the patient's prognosis, but just as importantly, generates high costs, outpatient care options involving different groups of medical personnel are being sought to improve the prognosis and quality of life of HF patients, but also reduce the cost of care. Currently, 90% of the budget for HF care is consumed by hospitalizations. This article aims to show how the competencies and tasks of a nurse can be used in the care and education of a patient with HF. The role of the nurse in the outpatient care of patients with HF is emphasized by the guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology, resulting in the creation of the Education and Certification Program for Heart Failure Nurses in Poland under the auspices of the Polish Cardiac Society, the Heart Failure Association, the Supreme Chamber of Nurses and Midwives.

Introduction: The general definition of surgical site infections (SSI) includes any infection at the operated site, occurring within 30 days following the procedure or within one year if there has been placement of an implant or 'a prosthesis. Surgical site infection (SSI) represents one of the main healthcare-associated infections (HAI). Material and Methods: The general surgery department of the Mamou Regional Hospital (HRM) served as the setting for our study. This was a prospective, descriptive study lasting 6 months, from May 1 to October 31, 2016. The aim of the study was to help improve surgical site infections in the department. Results: We collected 175 interventions, 27 of which developed an SSI, or 15.42%. The average age of our patients was 33.52 years with extremes of 7 and 82 years, the most affected age group was between 11 and 20 years, i.e. a frequency of 29.63%. Patients in the dirty surgery class were the most represented with a rate of 44.44%. Deep surgical site infection was the most common with 48.15%. Conclusion: Infection of the surgical site remains one of the postoperative complications most feared by surgeons because it ruins the success of the surgical procedure and compromises the functional or vital prognosis. We found an average ISO frequency compared to the African series.
Wandering Spleen with Tortion – A Case Report
Authors: Bahnam Sarmad , Patel Dhruv
Published: February 2024

A 16-year-old male presented with abdominal pain over 12 months, that had acutely worsened over the 5 days pre-presentation. Preliminary outpatient investigations revealed thrombocytopaenia 90(platelets per microliter), and a pelvic spleen on abdominal ultrasound. Contrast enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis in the portal venous phase confirmed a pelvic spleen with torsion of the splenic hilum. The spleen appeared hypoechoic on ultrasound. On CT, the spleen had heterogeneous enhancement with some irregularly shaped regions of hypoenhancement. There was a swirl (at least two complete turns) in the splenic vascular pedicle in the left abdomen. The splenic artery demonstrated some enhancement, but no enhancement of the splenic vein. The pancreatic tail was also involved in the torted vascular pedicle. No pancreatic duct dilation, and no infarct of pancreatic parenchyma were found. A small amount of free fluid around the spleen was found with no free gas. The portal vein enhanced normally. Lack of convincing enhancement of the splenic vein and heterogenous appearance of the spleen were suspicious for early splenic ischaemia. Laparotomy revealed an engorged twisted spleen around its pedicles. The spleen was identified in the pelvis with a torted vascular pedicle, which was subsequently detorted and manipulated back into the left upper quadrant (LUQ), with a pre-peritoneal space formed in the LUQ, the spleen was inserted into this pocket.

A Síndrome dos Ovários Policísticos (SOP) é uma condição endócrina complexa que afeta mulheres em idade reprodutiva. Caracteriza-se por desequilíbrios hormonais, manifestados por anovulação crônica, hiperandrogenismo e a presença de cistos nos ovários. O diagnóstico é estabelecido por critérios clínicos, laboratoriais e ultrassonográficos. A SOP está associada à resistência à insulina e frequentemente coexiste com a obesidade. Essa condição pode resultar em complicações metabólicas, como diabetes tipo 2 e doenças cardiovasculares. Além dos impactos físicos, a SOP pode ter repercussões psicológicas, incluindo questões relacionadas à autoimagem e estigma social. O tratamento da SOP abrange abordagens farmacológicas, estilo de vida e, em casos específicos, procedimentos cirúrgicos. A importância de uma equipe multidisciplinar, envolvendo ginecologistas, endocrinologistas, nutricionistas e psicólogos, destaca-se na gestão integral da síndrome. Estratégias terapêuticas visam não apenas à regularização hormonal e restauração da fertilidade, mas também à melhoria da qualidade de vida global da paciente.

Authors: Vikalp Thapliyal  , Pranita Thapliyal
Published: February 2024

Over the course of the past few years, the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and creativity has emerged as a central focus of study and innovation. An investigation into the dynamic interaction that exists between machine learning algorithms and the sphere of artistic production is presented in this study. This article investigates the ways in which artificial intelligence systems are being utilised to enhance and augment human creativity across a variety of artistic domains, such as the visual arts, music composition, literature, and other areas. Recurrent neural networks and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are two examples of generative algorithms that can be used to generate artistic content. This type of content blurs the lines between human and machine creation. This paper analyses the concept of style transfer, which is the process by which artificial intelligence systems can imbue artworks with the aesthetics of well-known artists or artistic movements, thereby enabling newly developed forms of expression.

Published: February 2024

Using the example of a tin-bismuth alloy, it was experimentally shown that the addition of organic substances to electrolytes for the electrodeposition of metals and alloys significantly improves the appearance of coatings, but at the same time organic additives are included in the composition of the coatings. The more the concentration of additives in the electrolyte, the better the appearance of the coatings, but the greater the amount of additives contained in the metal (alloy), the more quickly and more noticeable the properties of the coating change over time. Organic additives are gradually desorbed from the coating, faster when heated, and can be transferred and contaminate nearby sensitive elements of electro-optical devices, having a catastrophic effect on their characteristics, reducing reliability, leading to delayed failure of complex electronic equipment
Frequency response analysis and in vitro verification of 3D-printed ossicular replacement materials
Authors: Hao Jingbin , Zhu Yin , Shen Ding , Rahman Md Thowfiqure , Kou Yinxin , Liu Houguang
Published: February 2024

As a bridge that transmits airborne sound signals to the auditory receptors of the inner ear, the eardrum and ossicular chain of the middle ear convert sound through two types of conversions: gas–solid (airborne sound signal–eardrum and ossicular chain) and solid–liquid (eardrum and ossicular chain–internal and external lymphatic fluid in the cochlea). This process concentrates and amplifies the sound to the inner ear through the lever principle structure formed by the three ossicles. However, diseases, hereditary factors, or trauma can reduce the sound transmission function of the middle ear. The effectiveness of middle ear replacement prostheses depends on their vibration response to the human auditory perception frequency, from the eardrum to the stapes plate. This response is influenced by the materials, geometry, and design of the replacement prosthesis and eardrum. This study explores the effects of different materials on hearing after artificial ossicular replacement. Usually, human temporal bone models are used for testing and validating numerical results. However, obtaining specimens from living humans is not always feasible. Therefore, we used three-dimensional printing technology to build a model of the middle ear to test the ossicular bone. Titanium alloy TC4, stainless steel 316L, and composite HA/PCL are chosen as materials for ossicular replacement. Using f‍inite element analysis and an in vitro verification experiment, individual replacements of the ossicles and three bone material replacements were conducted for frequency response analysis. The combination of the malleus made of TC4, the incus made of TC4, and the stapes made of HA/PCL were found to bear higher resemblance to a real normal ear ossicular model.
Phytogeographic Development of Czechoslovak Steppes
Authors: Vovsová Eva
Published: February 2024

The flora in Czechoslovakia belongs to three large European vegetation regions: the Middle-European, Pontic-Pannonian and Carpathian. They all occur on the territory of Czechoslovakia, and from the point of view of phytogeography produce a whole series of problems. An important part in our flora is played by the xerophytes and thermophytes. The area on which this flora occurs is called Pannonicum. It is characteristic of the xerothermal steppe vegetation which passes into timbered steppe. Of course it gets changed by man into fields, gardens, meadows, forests. Remnants of the original vegetation appear only sporadically. To distinguish from the Moravian xerothermal region, some elements of the subarctic steppe are found in Bohemia. They got here along the Sarmatian Lane. Moravia, on the other hand, abounds in some species that have never penetrated as far as Bohemia. In our conditions, the steppe achieves the form of double staged, non-forest, mostly grass-grown associations occuring most often in sunny places and on slopes with southern exposition. Their existence depends closely on microclimatic and edaphic factors. In our country, they occur most often in the warmest and most arid areas as typical representatives of xerothermal associations of xerothermal regions.

Published: February 2024

Purpose

The role of regional hemodynamics in intracranial aneurysms (IAs) hemodynamics and rupture risk has been widely discussed based on numerical models over the past decades. The aim of this paper is to investigate hemodynamics and rupture risk with a complicated IA model.

Methods

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations were performed to quantify the hemodynamic characteristics of the established IA models. Hemodynamic parameters, including wall shear stress (WSS), flow velocity, and flow pattern, were calculated and analyzed.

Results

In this paper, the risk assessment of intracranial aneurysms focuses on the mechanical properties of blood flow and blood vessel walls. Vortex flow and concentrated impact field during blood flow play a decisive role in the rupture and development of aneurysms. The uneven distribution of wall shear stress on the vessel wall has a great influence on growth and rupture. By observing the simulation results of rigid walls, risks can be predicted efficiently and accurately.

Conclusions

This paper focuses on the relationship between hemodynamics and ruptures risk with a double intracranial aneurysms disease mode and provides a new perspective on the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Authors: Lemski Pawel , Żerdzicki Krzysztof R. , Klosowski Pawel , Skorek Andrzej , Zmuda Trzebiatowski Marcin A.
Published: February 2024

Purpose

The main aims of the current research were: (1) to analyze in detail tensile modulus and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of orbital wall bones separately for the left and right orbits of the same cadaver and (2) to compare the obtained results with a flexural modulus of the left and right orbits reported earlier by A. C. van Leeuwen et al. [14].

Methods

A set of 54 specimens of orbital superior and/or medial walls harvested from 16 human skulls (4 female, 12 male) were tensioned at 0.01 mm/s till fracture. The samples were taken always from both orbits of the same cadaver. For each sample, cross-section area, apparent density, tensile modulus and UTS were identified.

Results

There were no statistical difference between left and right orbit for pooled male and female group for (a) apparent density (T-Student test p=0.567), (b) UTS (Mann-Whitney U-test p=0.350) and (c) tensile modulus (Mann-Whitney U-test p=0.716). There were no statistical difference between left and right orbit for pooled male and female group for (a) orbital wall thickness (T-Student test p=0.811) and (b) flexural modulus (Mann-Whitney U-test p=0.206).

Conclusions

The comparison between tensile and flexural moduli for pooled left and right group revealed no statistical significant difference (Mann-Whitney U-test p=0.074). The maximum tensile modulus was 7279 MPa and 9913 MPa for right and left orbit, respectively, and was similar to maximum flexural moduli of 6870 MPa and 9170 MPa reported in an earlier study.
A novel electrode to achieve balance between anastomotic strength and tissue thermal damage for radiofrequency-induced intestinal anastomosis
Authors: Xupo Xing  , Chengli Song
Published: February 2024

Purpose

This paper aimed to develop a novel electrode to achieve balance between anastomotic strength and tissue thermal damage for radiofrequency-induced intestinal anastomosis.

Methods

The mechanical properties of the novel electrode were analyzed by finite element method, and then the temperature and thermal damage distribution of intestinal tissue during welding process were analyzed by electric-thermal-mechanical multi-field coupled finite element analysis. In ex-vivo experiments, the biomechanical strength of anastomotic area was assessed by indexes of tensile force and burst pressure. A thermocouple probe and an infrared thermal imager were used to monitor the temperature and thermal damage of the intestinal tissue in experiments. Furthermore, histopathological examination and transmission electron microscopy observation were used to observe the morphology and microstructural of anastomotic area.

Results

A slightly higher mean biomechanical strength is acquired with the tensile force and burst pressure results increasing from 9.7±1.47 N, 84.0±5.99 mmHg to 11.8±2.01 N, 89.6±6.79 mmHg respectively as well as the percentage of necrotic tissue caused by thermal damage decreasing from 89% to 33% for the novel electrode group, with compression force of 20 N, radiofrequency (RF) energy of 120 W and welding duration of 8 s applied to the target regions to achieve anastomosis. Moreover, tightly connected intestinal tissue with collagenic crosslink in the fusion area could be observed by histopathological examination and transmission electron microscopy.

Conclusion

Our study shows that the proposed novel electrode could achieve balance between anastomotic strength and tissue thermal damage for radiofrequency-induced intestinal anastomosis.

Computed tomography analysis confirmed internal geometry and porosity, while compression tests provided insights into compressive strength, deformation, and Young's modulus.

Conclusions

Optimal process parameters for desired mechanical properties and porosity in PLA models are highlighted, contributing to advanced medical applications. Informed FFF process parameter utilization enhances the potential for personalized therapeutic solutions and cost-effective pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Surface free energy and roughness of flowable dental composites
Authors: Łagan Sylwia , Chojnacka-Brożek Agnieszka , Liber-Kneć Aneta , Malik Gabriela
Published: February 2024

Purpose

The surface properties like roughness, wettability and surface free energy are important for utility properties of traditional and flowable dental restorative composites, due to their role in plaque formation, discoloration, mechanical wear or adhesion and bonding. The goal of our work was to assess the surface free energy (SFE) and the surface roughness (Ra) of three commercial flowable dental composites: everX Flow (bulk), everX Flow (dentin) and Flow-Art.

Methods

Surface roughness, contact angle and surface free energy were determined for tested composites. Two surface states (control and roughened) were compared. Roughness was measured with the use of the 3D optical profilometer. The contact angle (CA) was determined through the sessile drop method with the use of four different probing liquids. This enabled to apply two surface free energy approaches (Owens–Wendt (O-W) and van Oss–Chaudhury–Good (LWAB)). Additionally, Zisman’s approach (γC) was used.

Results

The water contact angle values were similar for Flow-Art (67.56±1.49°) and everX Flow (bulk) (68.94±2.72°) compared to higher value for everX Flow (dentin) (74.39±2.05°). SFE was in the range from 43 to 50 mJ/m^2 for O-W and from 47 to 62 mJ/m2 for LWAB. The γC was from 37 to 45 mJ/m^2.

Conclusions

Roughening composites’ surface influenced on increasing the CA value. All approaches of surface free energy calculations provide useful data for predicting interactions between flowable composites and dental tissues. Tested composites showed good wetting for initial state of surface after polymerization. These influence on better adhesion of the material to the bonding system during dental restoration.
A musculoskeletal simulation study on the biomechanics of the lower extremity during the golf swing

Published: February 2024

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of the human body dynamics during the golf swing through a musculoskeletal simulation for different types of subjects to better understand the biomechanical aspects of the golf sport.

Methods

The lower extremity model of the AnyBodyTM modeling system was adapted to a more advanced knee model to capture the large knee axial rotations during golf swing using an inverse dynamic musculoskeletal approach. Swings from three golfers, one with apparent osteoarthritis in both knee joints, one with bilateral total knee replacement, and one healthy, were captured in a motion capture laboratory and simulated.

Results

The golf swing generated a high axial rotation in the knee joint (approximately 25°-31°). Ball impact represented the most critical time event, near which maximum loading of the lower extremity was observed, e.g., knee compression force raised to a maximum of 329% body weight. The fast rate of knee loading by large compression forces prior to ball impact was identified as a potential cause of knee injury for golfers.

Conclusions

Our findings are comparable with previous experimental and computational studies, and the proposed musculoskeletal model can be employed to provide valuable information to clinicians and scientists, e.g., on the biomechanics of the lower extremities after total knee replacement for golf swing.
