Lessons learned in autoclave synthesis of upconversion nanoparticles: unreported variables and safety considerations
Authors: McGonigle Rebecca , Glasgow Jodie , Houston Catriona , Cameron Iain , Homann Christian , Black Dominic , Pal Robert , MacKenzie Lewis
Published: May 2024

Autoclaves – vessels for sustaining high temperatures and high pressures – are widely used across chemical and biological sciences, and are one of the more accessible pieces of equipment for synthesis of luminescent upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) amongst other nanomaterials. Yet, despite being crucial to nanomaterial synthesis, the details of autoclave reactors used are barely reported in the literature, leaving several key synthesis variables widely unreported, and thereby hampering the reproducibility of many synthesises. In this perspective, we discuss the safety considerations of autoclave reactors and note that autoclaves should only be used if they are (a) purchased from reputable suppliers/manufacturers and (b) have been certified compliant with relevant safety standards. Ultimately, using unsuitable autoclave equipment can pose a severe physical hazard and may breach legal workplace safety requirements. In addition, we highlight a number of parameters in autoclave synthesis that we suggest should be reported as standard in order to maximise the reproducibility of autoclave synthesis experiments. Subsequently, we discuss two case studies where a commercially available high-safety autoclave system was used to synthesise UCNPs. We also provide broader context for the physical and optical properties of UCNPs, their applications, and other UCNP synthesis methods. We hope that this perspective encourages users of autoclave synthesis, whether in nanomaterials or in broader contexts to: (a) adopt and report the use of high-safety autoclaves and (b) report the many experimental variables involved in autoclave use to enhance reproducibility and robustness of nanomaterial synthesis.
Spatially resolved uncertainties for machine learning potentials
Authors: Heid Esther , Schörghuber Johannes , Wanzenböck Ralf , Madsen Georg. K. H.
Published: May 2024

Machine learning potentials have become an essential tool for atomistic simulations, yielding results close to ab-initio simulations at a fraction of computational cost. With recent improvements on the achievable accuracies, the focus has now shifted on the dataset composition itself. The reliable identification of erroneously predicted configurations to extend a given dataset is therefore of high priority. Yet, uncertainty estimation techniques have largely failed for machine learning potentials. Consequently, a general and versatile method to correlate energy or atomic force uncertainties with the model error has remained elusive to date. In the current work, we show that epistemic uncertainty cannot correlate with model error by definition, but can be aggregated over groups of atoms to yield a strong correlation. We demonstrate that our method correctly estimates prediction errors both globally per structure, and locally resolved per atom. The direct correlation of local uncertainty and local error is used to design an active learning framework based on identifying local sub-regions of a large simulation cell, and performing ab-initio calculations only for the sub-region subsequently. We successfully utilize this method to perform active learning in the low-data regime for liquid water.
Protocol for Evaluating Anion Exchange Membranes for Nonaqueous Redox Flow Batteries
Authors: Tami Jessica , Mazumder MD Motiur , Cook Grace , Minteer Shelley , McNeil Anne
Published: May 2024

Nonaqueous redox flow batteries (NARFBs) often suffer from reduced battery lifetime and decreased coulombic effi-ciency due to crossover of the redox-active species through the membrane. One method to mitigate this undesired crossover is to judiciously choose a membrane based on several criteria: swelling and structural integrity, size and charge(s) of redox active species, and ionic conductivity. Most research to date has focused on reducing crossover by synthesizing modified redox-active molecules and/or new membranes. However, no standard protocol exists to com-pare membranes and a comprehensive study comparing membranes has yet to be done. To address both these limita-tions, we evaluate herein 26 commercial anion exchange membranes (AEMs) to assess their compatibility with com-mon nonaqueous solvents and their resistance to crossover by using neutral and cationic redox-active molecules. Ul-timately, we found that all the evaluated AEMs perform poorly in organic solvents due to uncontrolled swelling, low ionic conductivity, and/or high crossover rates. We believe that this method, and the generated data, will be useful to evaluate and compare the performance of all anion exchange membranes—commercial and newly synthesized—and should be implemented as a standard protocol for all future work.

Authors: Guan Xun , Erşan Sevcan , Xie Yongchao , Park Junyoung , Liu Chong
Published: May 2024

Microbial-material interfaces offer a promising future in sustainable and efficient chemical-energy conversions, yet the impacts of these artificial interfaces to the microbial metabolisms remain unclear. Here, we conducted detailed proteomic and metabolomic analyses to study the regulations of microbial metabolism induced by the photocatalytic material-microbial interfaces, especially the intracellular redox and energy homeostasis which are vital for sustaining cell activity. Firstly, we learned that the materials have a heavier weight in perturbing microbial metabolism and inducing distinctive biological pathways, like the expression of metal-resisting system, than light stimulations. Furthermore, we observed that the materials-microbe interfaces are capable of maintaining the delicate redox balance and the energetic status of the microbial cells, whereas the intracellular redox cofactors and energy currencies show stable levels as naturally inoculated microbes. These observations assure the possibility of energizing microbial activities with artificial materials-microbe interfaces for diverse applications, and also, provide guides for future designs of materials-microbe hybrids to guard microbial activities.

Published: May 2024

The off-label use of drugs is a common practice worldwide. The legal basis for off-label medical use varies from country to country. Regulatory control of the pharmaceutical market in the off-label preventive and therapeutic practice at the international and national levels has become a breakthrough with the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic. The prospects for off-label use in the context of innovations in the legislation of public health in the Russian Federation are crucial. Professionally significant aspects of the use of medicinal products outside the Summary of Product Characteristics and the off-label use have been introduced by supranational regulatory authorities for the common market of medicinal products of the Eurasian Economic Union. Special attention should be paid to the regulatory control of the use of extemporaneous medicines as part of improving the government regulation of drug compounding in pharmacies. The active development of pharmacy activities in drug compounding within the framework of improving regulatory practice determines the relevance of actual off-label prescriptions and the use of extemporaneous formulations. Aim – to perform a systematic analysis of national, transnational legislative and regulatory documents regulating off-label use of medicinal products, determine the main conceptual components of the current regulatory pool and directions for future development in this area. Systematic analysis of the national legislative and regulatory pool of documents and the regulatory framework of the common market of medicinal products of the Eurasian Economic Union on the regulation of various aspects of the off-label use of medicinal products. Study of the components and identification of the main trends in the regulatory practice of prescriptions outside the Summary of Product Characteristics and the off-label use. An analytical search was carried out in the reference legal systems "ConsultantPlus" and "Garant" on the official websites of the Ministry of Health of Russia, the Eurasian Economic Union, the RusMed information resource of the National Library resource of Russia in medicine and pharmacy "Central Scientific Medical Library" was used. A logical generalization of the results on the current state of the legal framework and the development of conceptual proposals on the key directions of the prospective development of regulation, control, and supervisory activities of the pharmaceutical off-label use of medicinal products was made.
Selection of parenteral iron supplement for iron deficiency anemia: A review
Authors: Zyryanov Sergey K. , Baybulatova Elena A.
Published: May 2024

The article reviews medicinal products for the treatment of iron deficiency conditions and iron deficiency anemia, the prevalence of which is about 30% among the world population. Iron deficiency is a significant cause of anemia, which can lead to hospitalization and even death. In case of intolerance or ineffectiveness of oral formulations of iron supplements, if it is necessary to replenish the iron level quickly, trivalent iron formulations for intravenous administration are used. These supplements are iron complexes with an iron hydroxide core surrounded by a carbohydrate shell. Iron formulations for intravenous administration can be divided into drugs of the "old" and "new" generation. One of the most studied and popular representatives of the "new" generation is iron carboxymaltose (ICM). The results of clinical studies showed that ICM better and faster increases hemoglobin concentration and replenishes iron stores in patients compared to the "old" generation formulations and also has a more favorable safety profile. Large doses of ICM can be administered in a short time, saving resources and increasing patient satisfaction. The injection of large doses of iron with a small number of infusions in the case of ICM is more economically beneficial for all departments of medical institutions, as it significantly reduces the total cost of medical care. Intravenous iron plays an essential role in the perioperative treatment of iron deficiency anemia, especially in elective surgery. Currently, there is a reliable evidence base confirming the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron formulations in chronic kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, heart failure, gynecological and obstetric diseases, and cancer.
Comparative analysis of the drugs efficacy for carbohydrate metabolism early disorders (prediabetes) treatment: A review
Authors: Mkrtumyan Ashot M.
Published: May 2024

In the contemporary reality pharmacological correction of the early carbohydrate metabolism disorders is the main method for the type 2 diabetes prevention. Taking into account the main role of insulin resistance in the prediabetes development it can be supposed that pharmacological agents directly activating the insulin receptor are the pathogenic-base therapy for prediabetes treatment. Such kind of this pathogenic therapy is Subetta® – a representative of the class of biological drugs created using the based graduated technology. Due to the absent of the direct comparative trials of Subetta® versus metformin in the efficacy of the type 2 diabetes prevention in prediabetes patients, was performed an analysis of the effectiveness of these two drugs using the adjusted indirect comparison method of the results of the randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial of Subetta® efficacy and safety in impaired glucose tolerance patients with the results of several metformin studies similar in inclusion and efficacy criteria. The results indicate greater Subetta® efficacy in the treatment of glucose intolerance and metformin's – in the impaired fasting glucose treatment, which can be explained by the differences in the action mechanisms of these two drugs for prediabetes treatment.

Aim. To study the features of macrophages in the tissues of resected valves in operated patients with infective endocarditis (IE), their significance and interaction with inflammatory markers to improve the effectiveness of IE diagnosis.
Materials and methods. Prospectively the research included 25 adult patients with active IE (Duke criteria 2015) and 24 patients with heart defects without IE, hospitalized in a cardiosurgical hospital in Moscow (2021–2022). A standard laboratory and instrumental examination was carried out for the diagnosis of IE, including etiological diagnosis with microbiological and molecular biological methods, and echocardiographic examination of heart. Additionally, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was calculated. The study of macrophages was carried out in the tissues of resected valves with the determination of the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine genes, macrophage markers (CD 68+) using real-time PCR.
Results. Increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 was revealed in the group of operated patients with IE with significant differences in IL-1β (CI [IQR] 0.00367 [0.00047–0.01553] vs 0.00018 [0.00012–0.00262]; p0.05) and IL-6 (CI [IQR] 0.00367 [0.00047–0.01553] vs 0.00018 [0.00012–0.00262]; p0.05) and IL-6 (CI [IQR] 0.00338 [0.00066–0.01674] vs 0.00054 [0.00044–0.00378]; p0.05). The expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines in valve tissues prevailed in the control group without significant differences from patients with IE. The macrophage marker CD 68+ was revealed in all examined patients with a significant quantitative predominance in the group of patients with IE. There were no differences in the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines depending on the presence of embolic events, intracardiac complications, etiological affiliation to S. aureus, as well as hospital mortality and combined endpoint (death from all causes or recurrence of IE 6 months after surgery) in patients with IE with or without events. Cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 positively correlated with each other, with leukocytes and NLR. ROC analysis determined that IL-1β and NLR had the most favorable features for the diagnosis of IE [IL-1β AUC 0.816 (p=0.02), NLR AUC 0.807 (p=0.03)]. IL-6 did not show a diagnostic value in IE. The threshold value for IL-1β was 0.00029 (sensitivity 86.4%, specificity 60.0%, prognostic value of negative result 75.0% and positive 76.0%, AUC 0.761; p=0.008).
Conclusion. The valve macrophages of patients with IE express elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6, regardless of etiological affiliation or complicated course of IE. IL-1β has a high diagnostic value for determining the inflammatory activity in IE.

In September 2023, the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) updated the disease nomenclature for non-alcoholic (metabolically associated) fatty liver disease. The goals of the revision were to increase awareness among health care professionals, civil society and patients about the disease, its course, treatment and outcomes; combating stigma; focusing on the initial etiological factor, including the main (cardiometabolic) risk of disease progression; improved diagnosis based on disease biomarkers; positive impact on the potency to search for new drugs; the ability to provide personalized medical care. The terms “non-alcoholic” and “fatty” were considered stigmatizing, and therefore, it was proposed to use the term steatotic liver disease (SLD) as the name of this nosology. The terms non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) have been replaced by the term metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In the case of being combined with an alcohol factor, a diagnosis in which metabolic dysfunction is combined with alcoholic liver disease is referred to as MetALD. The fundamental principle in the diagnosis of MASLD is the presence of at least one of the cardiometabolic risk factors. Alcohol consumption interacts with cardiometabolic risk factors and increases the risk of SLD decompensation. The term nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), according to the new nomenclature, has been replaced by the term metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). The adoption of the new nomenclature should help to increase awareness about the disease, its course and outcomes, as well as improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment.

Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Management Studies, Vel Tech Rangarajan Dr.Sagunthala R&D Institute of Science and Technology Avadi, Tamil Nadu, INDIA, P. Dr.Elandheraiyan
Published: May 2024

The necessity for smart city infrastructure to enable sustainable urban logistics has been brought to light by the global trend of urbanization and the rising demand for cost-effective and environmentally friendly logistics solutions. The main elements, enabling technologies, and implementation difficulties related to creating smart city infrastructure for urban logistics are allthoroughly reviewed in this study. Cities are finding it more difficult to manage the logistics of providing products and services to citizens and companies in a sustainable and effective way as urban populations continue to rise. Conventional urban logistics models are frequently in effective because they depend on disjointed systems and exacerbate problems like air pollution, traffic jams, and greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, new chances to improve urbanlogistics and make it more sustainable are presented by the rise of smart city technologies. This study looks at how more sustainable urban logistics can be made possible by smart city infrastructure. Intelligent transportation systems, automated delivery systems, real-time data analytics, and integrated multimodal networks are important parts. Cities may increase vehicle usage, streamline delivery routes, and transition to green reforms of transportation like electric cars by utilizing these technologies. Overall, this research shows how smart city infrastructuremay play a key role in facilitating sustainable urban logistics, enabling cities to minimize the negative effects of goods movement while simultaneously meeting the changing needs of businesses and citizens. Creating integrated, data-driven logistics systems will be crucial to creating more livable, sustainable urban environments as cities continue to grow.

Authors: Ferynska Anna
Published: May 2024

In the current context of competitive political struggle, communication technologies of persuasion and influence on the audience become especially relevant. In this context, advertising technologies are the most convincing and effective during the election campaign. Advertising communications is a universal tool that combines visual, linguistic and audio technologies. However, there is a lack of empirical research and comparative analysis of advertising campaigns of different candidates from different parties. The article aims to analyze them using the methods of political technology. The proposed study attempts to present a general image of Ukrainian election technologies based on a specific analysis of individual political parties.

The article is devoted to the analysis of election campaigns of candidates for the presidency of Ukraine. Five candidates from different political parties were analysed: Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Petro Poroshenko, Yulia Tymoshenko, Yuriy Boyko, and Anatoliy Hrytsenko. The results of their own analysis are presented for each candidate. The main classification and structure of political advertising are highlighted. The analysis of the political video advertising of the top 5 candidates showed that in the 2019 election campaign, there were used such approaches, according to the classifications, as the forces of influence on A. Dayan’s audience; the scenario as a criterion for L. Devlin’s classification; topics of M. Kern’s message; the type of R. Joslin’s rhetoric; F. Kotler’s advertising functions; the typology of J. Witherspoon. Various methods of political and social technologies have been worked out that helped to capture votes.
Research Trends in Library Science in Ukrainian and European Researches
Authors: Stambol Ihor
Published: May 2024

Library research is not the most popular area of book publishing, so the article is based on only a few dozen books published over the past five years. Ukrainian publications are very conservative in subjects and most of them relates mainly to the history of libraries or librarianship, as well as descriptions of various collections. Exceptions are the Kharkiv poll on library journalism and the practical manuals published by Halyna Shvetsova-Vodka, who is one of the most popular authors in the field of library studies. The review of library literature was carried out using electronic catalogs of Poland and Czech Republic, which determines a certain bias of the analyzed literature towards the national characteristics of these countries. European publications, much more diverse in subjects, although historical and fundraising aspects, are also very common. To a large extent, books contain a popular component, most of which already in the title raise questions, mainly in favor of libraries, for example, the British edition: “Libraries and Reading: Intellectual Disability and the Extent of Library Diversity”, or the philosophical title of the Polish book “Biblioteka w chmurze czy chmury nad biblioteką” (“Library in the Clouds or Clouds over Libraries”), in which the authors try to solve current problems of modern libraries. Moreover, in European library science of recent years we can find innovative research topics, in particular, relating to the organization of library conditions for people with Alzheimer’s disease and addressed to the profession of librarian in the Czech Republic and his experience: “Knihovna v mém životě: spojili s knihovnou” (“The Library in My Life: Conversations with People Who Combined Their Lives with the Library”) or addressed to the experience of readers of British libraries.

Introducción. Los traumatismos craneoencefálicos (TCE) son una causa frecuente de muerte y discapacidad alrededor del mundo.
Objetivo. Describir la discapacidad, el funcionamiento, la depresión, la ansiedad y la calidad de vida en pacientes con TCE moderado o grave en los primeros 90 días luego de sufrir la lesión.
Métodos. Estudio de corte transversal realizado con pacientes adultos que sufrieron un TCE moderado o grave en Medellín (Colombia) y su área metropolitana.
Resultados. Se incluyeron 153 pacientes con TCE, 87 grave y 66 moderado. La causa más frecuente de la lesión fueron los accidentes de tránsito en motocicleta, la edad promedio de los participantes fue 48,3 (DE=19,4) años, 79,7% eran de sexo masculino y 46,4% estaban solteros. Al momento del trauma, 70,6% estaban bajo efecto de alcohol o sustancias psicoactivas y 44,4% trabajaban por su propia cuenta. En las imágenes diagnósticas tomadas en la fase aguda, la lesión observada con más frecuencia fue el hematoma subdural, en 43,79%. El funcionamiento fue peor en los pacientes con TCE grave evaluado tanto por la escala Disabilty Rating Scale (DRS) (8,79 vs. 3,82) como en todos los dominios del World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO-DAS II) (el más afectado fue el de Actividades fuera de la casa y el menos afectado, el de Relaciones interpersonales). En la función cognitiva, el puntaje promedio del Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) fue 16 (DE=8,9) en los pacientes con TCE grave y 20.2 (DE=6,9) en los de TCE moderado. La calidad de vida fue peor en los pacientes con TCE grave en todos los dominios, con peor percepción en el desempeño físico. La ansiedad de estado y la de rasgo fueron peores en los pacientes con TCE grave, aunque con diferencias no significativas. El dolor en la escala análoga visual fue mayor en quienes tuvieron TCE grave.
Conclusiones. Los TCE son lesiones que pueden afectar a la población en edad productiva y generar secuelas de funcionamiento, dolor, ansiedad, depresión y cognitivas que impactan la calidad de vida, siendo estas consecuencias más graves en quienes sufren TCE graves en comparación con quienes tienen TCE moderados.

Los hallazgos indican que solo 34.3% de las entidades publicaron al menos un dictamen durante este período. De las 224 posibles publicaciones correspondientes a las 32 entidades en los ejercicios fiscales 2015 a 2021, solo 46 (20.5%) cumplían con la publicación de dictámenes. Se encontró que la mitad de estos dictámenes tenían salvedades, mientras que solamente el 32.6% no presentaban salvedades. La variabilidad en los resultados sugiere la necesidad de establecer un marco normativo más uniforme para mejorar la transparencia y el cumplimiento normativo en los OPD de Salud en México.

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo evidenciar mediante una aproximación contextual la problemática sobre la adquisición de comprobantes que amparan operaciones simuladas o inexistentes y sus consecuencias jurídicas, fiscales y penales en los contribuyentes. El enfoque es cualitativo descriptivo. Para lograr el objetivo, se abordó desde una perspectiva teórica la problemática y un análisis interpretativo, buscando contestar la pregunta ¿La autoridad puede confiscarme los bienes de acuerdo a la Ley Nacional de Extinción de Dominio? El propósito de este estudio no es probar si se rechaza o no una hipótesis, sino generar conocimiento empírico como resultado del método. La información, se obtuvo mediante la lista de contribuyentes que publica el Servicio de Administración Tributaria actualizada al 31 de mayo de 2023. El resultado fue un total 12675 empresas que representan el 50% de la lista de contribuyentes, de las cuales 1329 empresas tienen sentencia favorable que muestra un 5%, es decir, que interpusieron un medio de defensa, así mismo, 143 empresas están como presuntos, lo que expresa el 1%, por lo que tendrán que desvirtuar los hechos. Se concluye, que la magnitud de la problemática continúa a través de operaciones simuladas. Lo que es preocupante, es que al día 31 de mayo del 2023, 10878 son empresas definitivas que constituyen un 43%, es decir, que no lograron desvirtuar los hechos que les imputan de conformidad con el plazo establecido en el artículo 69 – B del Código Fiscal de la Federación vigente.

Published: May 2024

Günümüzde Reiki her kesimden insanın farklı bakış açısı ile benimsediği bütüncül enerji temelli uygulamalardan biri olarak kullanımı yaygınlaşmaktadır. Reiki bireyin bedensel, zihinsel ve ruhsal dengesini düzenlemek amacıyla her zaman
uygulanabilen iyileştirme yöntemidir. Reiki Japonya’da yüzyıllar öncesinde Tibet’te uygulanmaya başlanmış, Hawaya Takata tarafından Amerika üzerinden New Age hareketiyle birlikte kendi kuramıyla birleştirilerek Dünya’ya yaygın
olarak kullanılmıştır. Reiki uygulaması yapan kişilerin üç aşamalı bir eğitimden geçmeleri, doğuştan gelen bir şifa yeteneğinin olması ve uyumlama süreci gereklidir. Reiki kendi kendine, başkalarına, grup olarak hayvan ve bitkiler
gibi diğer canlılara uygulanabilmektedir. Bu derlemede amaç bütüncül perspektifte reiki uygulamasının değerlendirilmesidir.

Amaç: Bu araştırma 10-12 yaşlarındaki öğrencilerin saldırganlık eğilimleri ve etkileyen ailesel faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmaya, Ankara’daki bir ilköğretim okulundaki 10-12 yaşlarındaki
öğrencilerin tamamı (90 öğrenci) dahil edilmiştir. Veriler “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve beş alt ölçeği olan “Saldırganlık Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin saldırganlık alt ölçekleri puan ortalamaları “Saldırganlık Bunalımı”
için 44.52±8.94, “Yansıtılmış Saldırganlık" için 43.07±8.12, “Kendine Yönelik Saldırganlık” için 14.29±4.12, “Prososyal Saldırganlık” için 28.50±5.18, “Antisosyal Saldırganlık" için 23.91±6.45’dir. Öğrencilerin saldırganlık alt
ölçeklerinin puan ortalamaları ile ailede çocuğun kararlara katılımı, anne ve babanın çocuğa kızdıklarında verdikleri tepki, anne ve babanın birbirlerine kızdıklarında gösterdikleri tepki, anne ve babanın çocuğa ceza vermesi ve
çocuğa karşı tutumu arasında istatistiksel anlamlılıkta bir fark olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Araştırma sonucuna göre anne, baba ve çocuk iletişimini kapsayan tutum ve davranışların saldırganlıkta önemli bir rol oynadığı görülmektedir.
Öğrenci ve ailelerine saldırganlığı önlemeye yönelik tutum ve yaklaşımlar konusunda danışmanlık hizmetlerinin planlanması önerilmiştir.

Hypertension is an important public health problem. Health literacy and medication adherence self-efficacy levels of individuals are very important in the treatment. Adherence to treatment is important because a life-long treatment
process begins with the patient's diagnosis of hypertension. The aim of the study is to examine the health literacy and medication compliance self-efficacy levels of individuals diagnosed with hypertension. The study had a descriptive
research design. The sample of the study consisted of 219 individuals with a diagnosis of hypertension. Personal Information Form, Health Literacy Scale and Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form were used to collect
the data of the study. Data were analyzed using independent samples t-test, Mann Whitney U Test, Kruskal Wallis Analysis and Pearson Correlation Analysis. It was determined that 22.8% of the individuals were women, 99.1% of them
were married, 24.2% of them were employed, and 73.1% of them were literate. The health literacy scale mean score of the individuals was found to be 73.55±9.52. Additionally, the Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form
mean score was determined as 41.07±8.84. It may be recommended to conduct studies to increase individuals' health literacy and medication compliance self-efficacy levels.

Published: May 2024

Ti-Mo alloys with variable molybdenum (Mo) contents were fabricated by the laser-directed energy deposition process. The in-depth influencing mechanisms of the Mo element on microstructure and performance were quantitatively analyzed by experiment and first-principal calculation. Increasing Mo content decreased the formation and cohesive energies and stabilized the 𝛽 phase. The grain refining efficiency was increased, and the relative grain size was decreased by increasing the Mo content. The MS temperature decreased, and the acicular martensite formed with increasing Mo content. Both the solid-solution hardening and fine grain strengthening effects had positive influences, while the 𝛽 phase softening effect had a negative influence on the hardness and wear performance with increasing Mo content.
