Published: December 2022

Dissolved carbon has been widely investigated in natural rivers worldwide. However, it has been rarely studied in riverine system of farming regions, where small streams have been usually modified by a water gate and flood levee. This study was conducted to investigate dissolved organic and inorganic carbon (DOC, DIC) in artificially modified tributary streams, namely the Desheng and Shuangqiao-Shiba streams, in a farming region of the lower Yangtze River basin. The results showed that the DOC and DIC concentrations had remarkable temporal–spatial variability in the Desheng and Shuangqiao-Shiba streams. The mean DOC concentrations were 5.4 and 6.7 mg L−1 in the Desheng and Shuangqiao-Shiba streams during the period of about 1 year, while the DIC concentrations were 14.0 and 9.6 mg L−1 in both streams, respectively. The DOC and DIC concentrations mainly showed the linear decreasing trends from source through to export in the spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The DOC concentration was almost always lower than the DIC concentration. The DOC concentration was positively correlated with the DIC concentration in the Desheng stream over the four seasons, indicating that the DOC and DIC potentially had similar sources. The DOC and DIC concentrations increased with sewage discharge, which introduced a potential hazard to human health. The water gate and flood levee in the Desheng and Shuangqiao-Shiba streams were constructed for discharging floods and recharging irrigation in the farming region, and their effects on dissolved carbon require further research.
Pre-Charge Pressure Estimation of a Hydraulic Accumulator Using Surface Temperature Measurements
Authors: Asmussen Magnus F. , Liniger Jesper , Sepehri Nariman , Pedersen Henrik C.
Published: December 2022

Pitch systems form an essential part of today’s wind turbines; they are used for power regulation and serve as part of a turbine’s safety system. Hydraulic pitch systems include hydraulic accumulators, which comprise a crucial part of the safety system, as they are used to store energy for emergency shutdowns. However, accumulators may be subject to gas leakage, which is the primary failure mode. Gas leakage affects the performance of the accumulator and, in extreme cases, compromises the safety function of the pitch system. This paper deals with the development and experimental validation of an algorithm to detect gas leakage in piston-type accumulators. The innovation of the algorithm is the ability to generate estimates of the remaining amount of gas while solving the drift problem evidenced in previous research. Additionally, this method enables the ability to isolate gas leakage to a single accumulator out of a bank of accumulators. The approach is based on a State Augmented Extended Kalman Filter (SAEKF), which utilizes an extended thermal model of the accumulator, as well as temperature measurements along the accumulator surface to estimate the remaining gas in the accumulator. The method is experimentally validated and addresses the drift problem in estimating the gas leakage evidenced from previous research. Additionally, the method can identify and isolate gas leakage to a single accumulator from a bank of accumulators.
The Italian model of humanitarian diplomacy
Authors:   Ural Federal University named after the First President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin, Yekaterinburg, Russia, Tabarintseva-Romanova K. M.
Published: December 2022

Тhe term humanitarian diplomacy is undergoing a number of changes in the political discourse of international relations. Already, various states and international organizations are investing in it with diff erent content. In this article, we will look at how Italy, the ancestor of the modern diplomatic system, puts into practice humanitarian diplomacy in the broad sense of the term. If initially the concept of "humanitarian diplomacy" meant only "providing humanitarian assistance to vulnerable segments of the population during a confl ict and victims of natural or man-made disasters", today it is already a whole umbrella concept that includes a wide palette of humanitarian cooperation on an ongoing basis in such areas such as: culture, science, education, youth, tourism. Particular attention is paid to the institutionalization of humanitarian diplomacy in the process of "transformation" of the foreign policy system of the Italian Republic. In addition, the author studies the cultural and scientific component of the international activities of the state on the example of cooperation with such "vulnerable" regions as: Africa and the Mediterranean. As the analysis of plans and reports of the relevant Italian structures, namely: the Ministry of Foreign Aff airs and International Cooperation, the Italian Cooperation Agency, showed, the main areas for cooperation in the humanitarian sphere are: education, fundamental research on environmental issues, agriculture, clean water and gender policy. In fact, activities in the fi eld of humanitarian diplomacy cover most areas of a universal, comprehensive nature. It is concluded that the Italian model of humanitarian diplomacy follows the global "trends" of reforming the ministries of foreign aff airs, and also "creates" its own practices of diplomatic discourse — legal and "hybrid" diplomacy, which, unfortunately, are not currently widely used and in its essence, in the first case, it is part of a multilateral (conventional), and in the second, it is rather a characteristic than an independent form of foreign policy activity, in the extreme case, a part of public diplomacy.

Characteristics of good home-based end-of-life care: analysis of 5-year data from a nationwide mortality follow-back survey in England
Authors: ElMokhallalati Yousuf , Chapman Emma , Relton Samuel D , Bennett Michael I , Ziegler Lucy
Published: December 2022

Background

Recently, there has been an emphasis on providing good-quality end-of-life care; however, little is known about it and its determinants for patients living at home.

Aim

To determine what characterises good-quality end-of-life care for patients living at home.

Design and setting

An observational study using 5-year data from the National Survey of Bereaved People (Views of Informal Carers — Evaluation of Services [VOICES]) in England.

Method

Analysis was based on data for 63 598 decedents, who were cared for at home in the last 3 months of life. Data were drawn from 110 311 completed mortality follow-back surveys of a stratified sample of 246 763 deaths registered in England between 2011 and 2015. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent variables associated with overall quality of end-of-life care and other indicators of end-of-life care quality.

Results

Patients who received good continuity of primary care (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 2.03; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.01 to 2.06) and palliative care support (AOR 1.86; 95% CI = 1.84 to 1.89) experienced better overall quality of end-of-life care than those who did not, as perceived by relatives. Decedents who died from cancer (AOR 1.05; 95% CI = 1.03 to 1.06) or outside of hospital were more likely to receive good end-of-life care, as perceived by relatives. Being older, female (AOR 1.16; 95% CI = 1.15 to 1.17), from areas with least socioeconomic deprivation, and White (AOR 1.09; 95% CI = 1.06 to 1.12) were associated with better overall end-of-life care, as perceived by relatives.

Conclusion

Better quality of end-of-life care was associated with good continuity of primary care, specialist palliative care support, and death outside of hospital. Disparities still exist for those from minority ethnic groups and those living in areas of socioeconomic deprivation. Future commissioning and initiatives must consider these variables to provide a more-equitable service.

Authors: Mathews Maria , Ryan Dana , Hedden Lindsay , Lukewich Julia , Marshall Emily G , Buote Richard , Meredith Leslie , Moritz Lauren R , Spencer Sarah , Brown Judith B , Gill Paul S , Ryan Bridget L , Wetmore Stephen J
Published: December 2022

Background

As the first point of contact in health care, primary care providers play an integral role in pandemic response. Despite this, primary care has been overlooked in previous pandemic plans, with a lack of emphasis on ways in which the unique characteristics of family practice could be leveraged to create a more effective response.

Aim

To explore family physicians’ perceptions of the integration of primary care in the COVID-19 pandemic response.

Design and setting

Descriptive qualitative approach examining family physician roles during the COVID-19 pandemic across four regions in Canada.

Method

Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with family physicians and participants were asked about their roles during each pandemic stage, as well as facilitators and barriers they experienced in performing these roles. Interviews were transcribed and a thematic analysis approach was employed to develop a unified coding template across the four regions and identify recurring themes.

Results

In total, 68 family physicians completed interviews. Four priorities for integrating primary care in future pandemic planning were identified: 1) improve communication with family physicians; 2) prioritise community-based primary care; 3) leverage the longitudinal relationship between patients and family physicians; and 4) preserve primary care workforce capacity. Across all regions, family physicians felt that primary care was not well incorporated into the COVID-19 pandemic response.

Conclusion

Future pandemic plans require greater integration of primary care to ensure the delivery of an effective and coordinated pandemic response. Strengthening pandemic preparedness requires a broader reconsideration and better understanding of the central role of primary care in health system functioning.

Key Points

Hemodialysis workers' well-being and work were affected by the COVID-19 pandemics.

Effective communication strategies and taking into account psychological distress are ways to mitigate the challenges faced by health care workers.

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted health systems and created numerous challenges in hospitals worldwide for patients and health care workers (HCWs). Hemodialysis centers are at risk of COVID-19 outbreaks given the difficulty of maintaining social distancing and the fact that hemodialysis patients are at higher risk of being infected with COVID-19. During the COVID-19 pandemic, HCWs have had to face many challenges and stressors. Our study was designed to gain HCWs' perspectives on their experiences of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in hemodialysis units.

Methods

Semistructured interviews were conducted with 22 HCWs (nurses, nephrologists, pharmacists, social workers, patient attendants, and security agents) working in five hemodialysis centers in Montreal, between November 2020 and May 2021. The content of the interviews was analyzed using thematic analysis.

Results

Four themes were identified during the interviews. The first was the impact of COVID-19 on work organization, regarding which participants reported an increased workload, a need for a consistent information strategy, and positive innovations such as telemedicine. The second theme was challenges associated with communicating and caring for dialysis patients during the pandemic. The third theme was psychological distress experienced by hemodialysis staff and the psychosocial impact of COVID-19 on their personal lives. The fourth theme was recommendations made by participants for future public health emergencies, such as maintaining public health measures, ensuring an adequate supply of protective equipment, and developing a consistent communication strategy.

Conclusions

During the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, HCWs working in hemodialysis units faced multiple challenges that affected their well-being and their work. To minimize challenges for HCWs in hemodialysis during a future pandemic, the health care system should provide an adequate supply of protective equipment, develop effective communication strategies, and take into account the psychological distress related to HCWs' professional and personal lives.
Bosnalı Âsım Dîvânı’ndaki Deyimler Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: GÜLPINAR Hatice
Published: December 2022

Çalışmamıza esas aldığımız Bosnalı Âsım Dîvânı (İnceleme-Tenkitli Metin), Orhan Kurtoğlu tarafından hazırlanmıştır. Bosnalı Âsım, 17. yüzyılın ikinci yarısı ile 18. yüzyılın başlarında yaşamış bir şairdir. Yüzyılın diğer şairlerine nazaran adı pek duyulmamıştır. Ancak divanında kullandığı deyimler ve deyimlerin şiirde yerli yerinde kullanılması, bu deyimlerin çeşitliliği ve böylelikle Türkçenin bir şiir dili olarak işlenmesi; onu yaşadığı dönemin diline ışık tutacak önemli isimler arasına katmaktadır. Âsım, aynı zamanda bu söz varlıklarını eserinde incelikle kullanarak klasik Türk edebiyatının da deyimler kanalıyla millî kültür unsurlarını bünyesinde barındırdığını göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada Bosnalı Âsım Dîvânı’nda yer alan 577 deyim tespit edilmiş, bunlar şekil ve kavram özellikleri bakımından iki ana başlık altında sınıflandırılmıştır. Bazı deyimler gösterdikleri özelliklere göre birden fazla gruba dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bir sözlük çalışmasından ziyade bir tasnif çalışması olması amaçlandığından deyimlerin anlamları üzerinde durulmamıştır. Deyimlerin klasik Türk şiirinin kurallara bağlı kalıpları içinde varlığını devam ettirebiliyor olması hem günümüz insanının klasik Türk şiirine bakışını değiştireceği fikri hem de dil ve kültür varlığımıza sağlayacağı katkılar çalışmamızın çıkış noktası olmuştur.

Amaç: Sağlık çalışanları kesici-delici alet yaralanmaları sonucunda hepatit B virüsü (HBV), hepatit C virüsü (HCV) ve human immunodeficiency virüs (HIV) gibi kan ve vücut sıvılarıyla bulaşan etkenlere bağlı infeksiyonlar açısından mesleki risk altındadır. Bu çalışmada, özel bir hastanede sağlık çalışanlarının kesici delici alet yaralanmalarının retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi ve çıkan sonuçlara göre alınacak önlemlerin irdelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve Metod: Hastanemizde Ocak 2015-Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında görev yapan sağlık çalışanlarının kesici-delici alet yaralanmalarına maruz kalma durumları Enfeksiyon Kontrol Komitesi tarafından tutulan bildirim formlarındaki kayıtlar incelenerek retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Veriler sayı ve yüzdelik değerler olarak belirtildi.
Bulgular: Altı yıllık sürede yaş ortalamaları 28.36 olan toplam 143 sağlık çalışanında kesici-delici alet yaralanması maruziyeti vardı. Yaralanmaya en fazla maruz kalan meslek grubu hemşirelerdi (%39.9). Klinik servislerde (%27.9) ve polikliniklerde (%23.1) yaralanma daha fazla görüldü. Yaralanmaların en sık nedeni iğne ucu maruziyeti (%49.7) ve en sık yaralanan vücut bölümü el bölgesiydi (%76.9). Perkütan yaralanmalar en sık (%67.2) tıbbi işlem esnasında gerçekleşmişti. Yaralanmaların tümü yüzeyel yaralanma idi. Sağlık çalışanlarının %73.4‘ü olay sırasında kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanmıştı. Yaralanmaların %79.7‘sinin kaynağı biliniyordu. Kaynağı bilinen yaralanmalarda bakılan serolojik incelemede %5.3‘ünün HbsAg-pozitif olduğu görüldü. Anti-HCV ve anti-HIV pozitifliği saptanmadı. Yaralanma anında 143 çalışanın hiçbirinde HbsAg, anti-HCV ve anti-HIV pozitifliği saptanmadı. Yaralanmaya maruz kalan sağlık çalışanlarının HBV infeksiyonu yönünden yapılan serolojik incelemelerinde %98.6 oranında immün oldukları gözlendi. Altı aylık izlem boyunca risk altındaki çalışanda HBV, HCV ve HIV infeksiyonu gelişmedi.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda yaralanma veya riskli temas olaylarının büyük kısmı, iş yükü ve niteliği diğer bölümlere göre daha fazla olan klinik servislerde çalışan hemşirelerde iğne ucu yaralanması şeklinde meydana gelmiştir. HBV’ne karşı aşılanma oranları yüksek olup altı aylık izlem sonunda HBV, HCV ve HIV ile infeksiyon gelişmemesi sevindiricidir. Kişisel koruyucu ekipmanların kullanımının sağlanması için sağlık çalışanlarının desteklenmesi, tıbbi atıkların kontrolü yönetmeliğinin uygulanması, denetimlerin yapılması, eksikliklerin giderilmesi kesici-delici alet yaralanması sonucu olabilecek infeksiyonların engellenmesi açısından önemlidir.

Acute obstructive cholecystitis is a common disease with a significant risk of mortality and complications. Active surgical tactics, such as open and laparoscopic access, pose a significant risk for elderly patients with concomitant diseases on the background of acute cholecystitis. The aim of our study is to analyze the effectiveness of percutaneous transhepatic cholecystostomy (PTCS) in acute obstructive cholecystitis (AOC) and subsequent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCE). Materials and methods. Retrospectively, we analyzed 64 patients treated with AOC in the period from 2017 to 2021 at the NSCS named after A.N. Syzganov. We divided them into 2 groups depending on surgical treatment. The first group: patients who were performedPTCS (n=29) at the first stage. The second stage, LCE was performed during the waiting period from 3 days to 72 days. The second group: patients who underwent LCE without drainage of the gallbladder (n=35). Also, the patients of the first group were divided into 3 subgroups depending on the waiting time: group A - LCE was performed within 10 days after PTCS, subgroup B - LCE was performed after from 2 to 4 weeks (n=12), patients of the subgroup C, LCE were performed after 4 weeks after PTCS. Preoperative, intraoperative data and postoperative complications were analyzed. Results. According to preoperative data, there was no significant difference in body temperature, laboratory data and concomitant diseases. The statistical difference was revealed only in the age of patients (65.3±9.0 vs 53.4±15.4). The duration of the operation in the second group of LCE was longer compared to the first group, but no significant difference was detected (108.1 ± 30.5 vs 117.9 ± 39.9). In the postoperative period after LCE, complications were observed in 5 (14.2%) cases: bleeding in 4 (11.4%) cases and suppuration of the postoperative wound in 1 (2.8%) case. Conversion was performed in 10 (15.6%) cases, and in one (1.5%) case, the choledochal wall was injured intraoperatively. There was no significant difference between groups A, B and C. Conclusion.The use of two-stage treatment significantly reduces the conversion to open surgery, significantly reduces postoperative complications and hospital stay in the postoperative period. According to the results of our research, the most optimal interval between PTCS and LCE is a period of more than 4 weeks.
Ag2S island network reservoir that works with direct optical signal inputs

Published: December 2022

A physical reservoir that accepts direct light irradiation as input was developed using a Ag2S island network. Short-term memory and nonlinearity required for reservoirs are achieved by the diffusion of Ag+ cations in each Ag2S island and the growth of Ag filaments between Ag2S islands. We found that direct light irradiation to Ag2S islands changes local conductivity in a reservoir, which enhances the performance in short-term memory and nonlinearity of the reservoir. Using the effect, we performed a pattern classification of light that was irradiated to a Ag2S island network reservoir through a rectangular slit, which resulted in the accuracy of over 95%.

Published: December 2022

A non-contact quantitative method for measuring the electrical conductivity of a SnO2 nanobelt field-effect transistor (FET) with nanometer-scale spatial resolution is reported. The topography and microwave images of the nanobelt FET were measured by microwave atomic force microscopy (M-AFM) under a constant source voltage and different back-gate voltages. The output characteristics of the nanobelt FET were measured using a two-probe measurement method. The local conductivity of the SnO2 nanobelt FET measured by M-AFM concurred with that obtained by the two-probe measurement. Therefore, M-AFM is a promising method for measuring the local conductivity of nanomaterial FETs.

The teaching and learning of kickboxing: pedagogical recommendations
Authors: Da Silva Duarte Jonatas Deivyson Reis , Oliveira Sergio Roberto De Lara , Salinas Johan Andrés Robalino , Tobar Karen Dennise Lozada , Bueno João Carlos Alves
Published: December 2022

The training of kickboxing teachers is carried out by federations and confederations with the condition that they acquire a black belt, the highest degree of technical improvement. It has as a prerequisite years of practice in the modality and having passed the colored belt exams. Therefore, teachers are limited to repeating the movements and structures that were passed on by their teachers, without a theoretical and critical training of the teaching and learning process. In this sense, teaching sport to children, adolescents, recreational adults, adult competitors and the elderly are pedagogically different. Children must go through playful activities with diversified motor stimuli, from adolescence onwards there begins to be specialization, recreational adults for specialized training without forceful blows (so as not to injure, as most of them work), adults competitors for situations closer to competition and the elderly for light functional training and without bruising techniques. Other variables should be taken into account when planning lessons, such as student goals, age groups, available materials, and injury history. As it is a contact sport, didactic-pedagogical errors can increase the chances of injuries and dropout of students. Thus, it is important that there is a solid and continuous training on the part of these professionals. In the absence of teaching materials to assist these teachers in the teaching process, this article seeks to bring knowledge of sport pedagogy and recommendations to increase excellence in the teaching-learning process of teacher-students in different age groups in the kickboxing modality.

Background. Antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacilli poses a serious problem for public health. In hospitals, in addition to high mortality rates, the emergence and spread of resistance to practically all antibiotics restricts therapeutic options against serious and frequent infections. Objectives. The aim of this work is to present the views of a group of experts on the following aspects regarding resistance to antimicrobial agents in Gram-negative bacilli: 1) the current epidemiology in Spain, 2) how it is related to local clinical practice and 3) new therapies in this area, based on currently available evidence. Methodology. After reviewing the most noteworthy evidence, the most relevant data on these three aspects were presented at a national meeting to 99 experts in infectious diseases, clinical microbiology, internal medicine, intensive care medicine, anaesthesiology and hospital pharmacy. Results and conclusions. Subsequent local debates among these experts led to conclusions in this matter, including the opinion that the approval of new antibiotics makes it necessary to train the specialists involved in order to optimise how they use them and improve health outcomes; microbiology laboratories in hospitals must be available throughout a continuous timetable; all antibiotics must be available when needed and it is necessary to learn to use them correctly; and the Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASP) play a key role in quickly allocating the new antibiotics within the guidelines and ensure appropriate use of them.

The drastic growth of cruise tourism in the world, while potentially beneficial for economic growth in local communities, also brings concerns regarding environmental impacts. This research used the port of Ísafjörður, Iceland, a growing hotspot destination for cruise
ships, as a case study to aid in understanding the potential environmental impacts from cruise ships. The study's aims were: 1) to determine the quantity and type of waste discharged to the shore facilities by cruise ships in Ísafjörður in 2019, and 2) to explore the compliance
behavior of the ships in adhering to Icelandic and international environmental regulations. To do this, quantitative and qualitative questions were presented in a survey to officers from 40 cruise ships, accounting for 87% of the total 46 different ships that docked in Ísafjörður
in the 2019 cruise ship season. The survey questions were designed based on the MARPOL Convention and the law of Iceland, and these questions were compared with the ship's statutory record or ship's certificates to strengthen the reliability of the data. The questions covered five categories:
emissions, waste oil, wastewater, garbage and food waste, and ballast water. Results showed that very little garbage and food waste had been discharged to shore facilities, and this was likely because Ísafjörður is one of several stops for many cruise ships in Iceland and the
waste had simply been discharged elsewhere. In assessing the other four categories, 8 out of the 40 cruise ships carried out illegal activities, including 12 specific violation cases. This article discusses three primary reasons for those violations: accessibility, inconsistency, and monitoring.
This research was conducted pre-COVID-19; however, by 2022 cruise ship calls in Ísafjörður approached preCOVID-19 numbers. Interested parties such as local communities, national decision makers, tourism boards, municipal planners, and environmental agencies must use the best
available knowledge, such as this study, to manage the positive and negative aspects of the growth of cruise ship tourism, and perhaps even more so in a post-COVID-19 phase.

Aim: Head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) is the ninth most common tumor worldwide. Neck lymph node (LN) status is the major indicator of prognosis in all head and neck cancers, and the early detection of LN involvement is crucial in terms of therapy and prognosis. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a non-invasive imaging technique used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to characterize tissues based on the displacement motion of water molecules. This review aims to provide an overview of the current literature concerning quantitative diffusion imaging for LN staging in patients with HNSCC.
Methods: This systematic review performed a literature search on the PubMed database (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) for all relevant, peer-reviewed literature on the subject following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) criteria, using the keywords: DWI, MRI, head and neck, staging, lymph node.
Results: After excluding reviews, meta-analyses, case reports, and bibliometric studies, 18 relevant papers out of the 567 retrieved were selected for analysis.
Conclusions: DWI improves the diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment response evaluation, and overall management of patients affected by HNSCC. More robust data to clarify the role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and DWI parameters are needed to develop models for prognosis and prediction in HNSCC cancer using MRI.

Tarkastelemme artikkelissamme kotihoidon työntekijöiden teknologian käyttämiseen liittyviä tunteita ja syitä niiden takana. Tutkimuskysymyksemme ovat: 1) Millaisia tunteita kotihoidon työntekijät liittävät työssä käyttämäänsä teknologiaan? 2) Millaisia syitä kotihoidon työntekijöiden tunteiden taustalta on havaittavissa? Artikkelimme perustuu vuonna 2019 kerättyyn kyselytutkimusaineistoon ja sen avokysymykseen, joka koskee työssä käytettyyn teknologiaan liittyviä tunteita. Tarkastelemme niiden 819 vastaajan vastauksia, jotka ovat ilmoittaneet pääasialliseksi toimipaikakseen kotihoidon. Analysoimme tutkimusaineiston aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysillä. Analyysimme osoittaa, että vastauksissa painottuivat kielteisiksi mielletyt tunteet, kuten turhautuminen, epävarmuus ja suuttumus. Toisaalta aineistossa näkyi melko paljon myös myönteisiä tunteita, kuten iloa ja innostusta teknologiasta. Osa vastaajista kuvasi sekä myönteisiä että kielteisiä tunteita. Kielteiset tunteet eivät kuitenkaan kohdistu niinkään itse teknologiaan vaan sen käyttöön liittyviin olosuhteisiin, kuten teknologian toimimattomuuteen sekä kotihoidon heikkoihin työskentelyolosuhteisiin ja työntekijöiden aikapaineisiin.

This study deals with the investigation of impact of temperature and ultraviolet (UV) radiation on spruce wood (Picea abies(L.) H. Karst.) and fir wood (Abies albaMill.) colour changes. Samples of investigated woods species were loaded by temperatures of 110, 130, and 150°C and UV radiation (with 253.7 nm wavelength and 40 W m-2intensity) during 72, 168, 336 and 672 hours. Colour changes were evaluated in the CIE Lab colour space. Theneural network for prediction of both colour coordinates and total colour difference of spruce and fir wood was trained by data regarding exposure conditions (temperature, UV radiation and time) and by obtained results. Coefficient of determination (R2) of the neural network was above 0.99 for training, validation and testing. Average colour coordinates (±standard deviation) of the spruce and fir wood before exposure were L* = 80.08 ± 3.70,a* = 7.55 ± 2.13, b* = 21.56 ± 1.79, L* = 80.46 ± 1.91, a* = 6.84 ± 0.97, and b* = 18.90 ± 1.26, resp. Total colour differences after thermal loading were in the interval from ΔEab* = 3.76 ± 1.95 (spruce wood at 110°C) to ΔEab* = 45.37±1.46 (fir wood at 150°C). Total colour differences of both wood species exposed by UV radiation were approximately in intervals from ΔEab* = 12 to 13 (after 72 h) up to ΔEab* = 16 to 20 (after 168 to 672 h). Obtained results proven that both temperature and UV radiation have significant impact on the colour changes of the investigated woods.

The main aim of this study is to define the usability of the confocal scanning optical microscope (CSOM) to evaluate the wood surface roughness. Therefore, systematic investigation was carried out to define the influences of CSOM on the acquisition of 2D surface roughness parameters. Mahr Perthometer was applied to get reference data to estimatetheapplicability of the CSOM. Because wood roughness parameters measured with stylus and optical methods are not always comparable a calibration method was conducted on a metal calibration etalon. After the calibration process, the roughness profiles taken with the optical and stylus units were much closer to each other and only the optical Rpkparameter was definitely higher due to artificial peaks generated by the optical system. In order to eliminate this measuringfailure, the morphological filter option of the optical apparatus may be activated. Thesurface roughness parameters were measured on planed Scotch pine samples. The planed surface plains were produced with 0.2 mm parallel offset to investigate thestructural influence of the single cutting plains. The obtained results show that the average values for Ra, Rq, Rz, Rk, and Rvkare close to each other for both measuring systems, only theoptically measured Rpkvalues must be corrected. The standard deviations, however, are systematically slightly higher for optical system. This may be explained by the higher resolution of the optical system giving more fine profile details. The earlier developed and introduced dimensionless quantities, such as Abbott ratio, are also fully comparable for both systems provided that the optically measured Rpkvalues are also correct.
