Published: June 2023

This paper presents a study aimed at enhancing the performance of quantum dot light-emitting didoes (QLEDs) by employing a solution-processed molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nanoparticle (NP) as a hole injection layer (HIL). The study investigates the impact of varying the concentrations of the MoO3 NP layer on device characteristics and explores the underlying mechanisms responsible for the observed enhancements. Experimental techniques such as an X-ray diffraction and field-emission transmission electron microscopy were employed to confirm the formation of MoO3 NPs during the synthesis process. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy is employed to analyze the electron structure of the QLEDs. The QLED with an 8 mg/mL concentration of MoO3 nanoparticles achieves remarkable improvements in device performance, with a maximum luminance of 69,240.7 cd/cm2, maximum current efficiency of 56.0 cd/A, and maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 13.2%. The obtained results signify a notable progress in comparison to QLED without HIL and those utilizing the widely used poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) HIL. They exhibit a remarkable enhancement of 59.5% and 26.4% in maximum current efficiency, respectively, as well as a significant improvement of 42.7% and 20.0% in maximum EQE, respectively. This study opens up new possibilities for the selection of HIL and the fabrication of solution-processed QLEDs, contributing to the potential commercialization of these devices in the future.

Published: June 2023

It is estimated that almost 4% of all neonatal intensive care unit admissions are attributed to Candida spp. infections. Clinical diagnosis of invasive fungal infection (IFI) is not easy as signs and symptoms are commonly vague. Mannan antigen (MA) in neonates is not well studied and the aim of this study was to evaluate the use of MA (Platelia™ Candida Ag Plus kit, Bio-Rad) in a neonatal unit. This is a prospective case-control study, which compared the performance of MA between neonates who had rectal Candida colonization with non-colonized controls. We cultured 340 rectal swabs of neonates and 39 of them were positive for Candida albicans colonization. MA was checked in 25 C. albicans colonized and in 30 non-colonized neonates with similar postnatal age and gender distribution. During the hospitalization period there was not any IFI in the neonatal population. MA was negative in all non-colonized neonates (30/30, 100% specificity) and in 24 out of 25 colonized neonates (96% specificity). However, the one infant with positive rectal colonization and MA had recent Candida mucositis. The results indicate a high specificity of the assay even in neonates colonized with Candida. Further investigation in neonates with IFI is required in order to determine the sensitivity of the method.

Blast charge initiation procedures have a significant impact on both mining safety and production rates. In this study, the inventory benefit of an electric initiation system was investigated to assess its influence on both fragmentation and blast-induced damages. The Wipfrag software's was used to examine the size distribution and productivity of 12 small-scale blasts initiated by both non-electric and electric detonators. All blast rounds was initiated with plain type of electric and NONEL detonators. The average burden, spacing, stemming length, and charge weight were, respectively, 0.85 m, 1.10 m, 0.66m, and 1.1kg. The results showed that the mesh through which 80% of the blast fragments will pass for the electric blast is smaller than the mesh through which the material products from the NONEL blast will pass. The results also demonstrate that the generated blast-induced ground vibration (PPV) from all blast rounds for electric blast varies from 0.4–1.2 mm/s and 80–105dB, while that for non-electric blast ranges from 0.05–0.2mm/s and 72–95dB. As a result, the electric blast initiation technique was found to produce good fragmentation, with a higher percentage of optimum fragment sizes on spec than non-electrically initiated blasts.

Published: June 2023

The introduction of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies against Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is of high importance. However, even though treated patients show very little amyloid pathology, there is only a modest effect on the rate of cognitive decline. Although this effect possibly can increase over time, there is still a need for alternative treatments that will improve the cognitive function in patients with AD. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to characterize the triazinetrione ACD856, a novel pan-Trk positive allosteric modulator, in multiple models to address its neuroprotective and potential disease modifying effects. The pharmacological effect of ACD856 was tested in recombinant cell lines, primary cortical neurons or animals. We demonstrate that ACD856 enhanced NGF-induced neurite outgrowth, increased the levels of the pre-synaptic protein SNAP25 in PC12 cells and increased the degree of phosphorylated TrkB in SH-SY5Y cells. In primary cortical neurons, ACD856 led to increased levels of phospho-ERK1/2, showed neuroprotective effect against amyloid-beta or energy-deprivation induced neurotoxicity, and increased the levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Consequently, administration of ACD856 resulted in a significant increase of BDNF in the brains of 21-months old mice. Furthermore, repeated administration of ACD856 resulted in a sustained anti-depressant effect which lasted up to seven days, suggesting effects that go beyond merely symptomatic effects. In conclusion, the results confirm ACD856 as a cognitive enhancer, but more importantly, they provide substantial in vitro and in vivo evidence of neuroprotective and long-term effects that contribute to neurotrophic support and increased neuroplasticity. Presumably, the described effects of ACD856 may improve cognition, increase resilience, and promote neurorestorative processes, thereby leading to a healthier brain in patients with AD.

Background: Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is defined as back pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks.
Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of manual therapy (MT) program combined with Capacitive and Resistive Electric Transfer (TECAR) therapy in individuals with CNSLBP.
Method: Sixty adults with CNSLBP were randomly equally divided into three groups. The first group followed an MT protocol in the lumbar region (MT group), the second group followed the same MT protocol combined with TECAR therapy (MT + TECAR group) using a conventional capacitive electrode as well as a special resistive electrode bracelet and the third group (Control group) received no treatment. Both intervention programs included six treatments over two weeks. Pain in the last 24 hours with the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), functional ability with the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) in the lumbar region with pressure algometry, and mobility of the lumbo-pelvic region through fingertip-to-floor distance (FFD) test were evaluated before and after the intervention period with a one-month follow-up. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was applied.
Results: In the NPRS score, both intervention groups showed statistically significant differences compared to the control group both in the second week as well as in the one-month follow-up (p < .001). Between-groups differences were also noticed between the two intervention groups in the second week (p < .05). Differences in the RMDQ score in the second week and on the one-month follow-up were detected between the intervention groups and the control group (p < .001), while differences between the two intervention groups were only detected in the one-month follow-up (p < .001). Regarding the PPT values, differences were found mainly between the MT + TECAR and the control group and between the MT + TECAR and the MT group (p < .05), with the MT + TECAR group in most cases showing the greatest improvement compared to the other two groups, which remained statistically significant in the one-month follow-up (p < .05). Finally, both intervention groups improved the mobility of the lumbo-pelvic region in both time points compared to the control group without, however, statistically significant differences between them (p> .05).
Conclusion: The application of an MT protocol with TECAR therapy appeared more effective than conventional MT as well as compared to the control group in reducing pain and disability and improving PPT in individuals with CNSLBP. No further improvement was noted in mobility of the lumbo-pelvic region by adding TECAR to the MT intervention.
A State of the Art: Numerical Methods to Simulate Desiccation Cracks in Clayey Soils
Authors: Levatti Hector Ulises
Published: June 2023

This paper reviews numerical methods used to simulate desiccation cracks in clayey soils. It examines five numerical approaches: Finite Element (FEM), Lattice Boltzmann (LBM), Discrete Element (DEM), Cellular Automaton (CAM), and Phase Field (PFM) Methods. The FEM is widely used to capture moisture diffusion, shrinkage, and cracking during drying. LBM is used to simulate fluid flow in clayey soils, while the DEM focuses on capturing the behavior of individual particles and their interactions. CAM simplifies crack evolution with computational efficiency, while PFM provides a continuous representation of crack formation and propagation. The author discusses the complexity of the problem, the continuum mechanics governing and constitutive equations that describe it, and the influence of various factors such as the multiphase nature of soils, heterogeneity, nonlinearities, coupling, scales of analysis, and computational aspects. The review highlights the characteristics, strengths, and limitations of each method. It emphasizes the importance of appropriate method selection for every problem depending on the aim of the analysis. The article concludes by reviewing the integration of multiple numerical methods to enhance the simulation of desiccation cracks in clayey soils.
Inflammatory Biomarkers in mTBI
Authors: Mavroudis Ioannis , Ciobica Alin , Balmus Ioana Miruna , Luca Alina Costina
Published: June 2023

Mild TBI (mTBI) accounts for most TBI cases, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite their high incidence, mTBI pathophysiology remains largely unknown. Recent studies have shown that the inflammatory response is activated early after mTBI and can persist for several weeks or months. However, limited evidence on the utility of inflammatory biomarkers as predictors of clinical outcomes in mTBI was previously provided. Thus, this study aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge on the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of mTBI and the potential of some inflammatory biomolecules as biomarkers of mTBI. Thus, it was shown that the increase of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β plasma levels could be implicated in the development of the early post-concussion symptoms. On the other hand, the persistence of the increased plasmatic concentrations of IL-10 and IL-8 for as long as six months following the brain injury event could suggest chronic inflammation leading to neuroinflammation and late or persistent symptoms. In this context, our findings showed that the inflammatory biomarkers could be relevant in diagnosing or predicting recovery or long-term outcomes of mTBI.

Published: June 2023

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe and incurable neurodegenerative disease, char-acterized by the progressive death of motor neurons, leading to paralysis and death. It is a rare disease distinguished by high patient-to-patient heterogeneity, making its study arduous and complex. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) emerged as an important player in ALS development. Thus, ALS phenotype-expressing cells can spread their abnormal bioactive cargos through the secretion of EVs, even at far distant tissues. Importantly, due to their nature and composition, EVs’ formation and cargo can be exploited for the better comprehension of this elusive disease and identification of novel biomarkers, as well as for potential therapeutic applications, such as those based on stem cell-derived exosomes. This review highlights the recent advances in the identification of the role of EVs in ALS etiopathology and how EVs can be promising new approaches for therapeutic strategies.

(1) Background: Evaluating if necrosis volumetric assessment of pre-/post-RFA in HCC can be an accurate predictor of LTP (local tumor progression) and survival.; (2) Methods: Retrospective, descriptive and analytical study conducted between 01.01.2018 - 30.09.2021 in the Radiology and Medical Imaging Department of Fundeni Clinical Institute. 35 patients, each with one LI-RADS 4 or 5 treated lesion were eligible to be included. Volumetry was performed using OsiriX MD. Initial lesion volume, ideal necrosis volume (0,5-1 cm safety margin) and actual necrosis volume at 1 and 6 months post-procedure were performed; (3) Results: Results and discussions: Actual necrosis volume is influenced by several factors: lesion position, proximity to great vessels or other critical structures. The overall recurrence-free survival rate was similar to data in other studies (77% in the first year post-RFA). This study showed that having the actual necrosis volume at 1 month smaller than ideal necrosis volume is a good predictor for local tumor progression (p < 0,05); (4) Conclusions: Volumetric assessment of necrosis is easily attainable and can help improve prediction of local tumour progression.

INTEGRATION OF ADVANCED METHODS AND MODELS IN THE METHODOLOGY OF ENGINEER-ING CALCULATION OF TORSION SHAFTS OF LIGHT ARMORED VEHICLE SUSPENSION SYSTEMS (REVIEW ARTICLE)
Authors: Zinchenko Olena
Published: June 2023

The requirements for the tactical and technical characteristics of the suspension systems of light armored vehicles are constantly growing, taking into account the increase in the intensity of their loads. It is necessary to improve the suspension system, in particular the torsion shafts, which are the most responsible and loaded in the suspension system of light armored vehicles. The existing traditional methods of calculating the torsion shafts of the suspension systems of light armored vehicles do not meet modern requirements. Today, there is a contradiction between the real indicators of strength and durability and those that should be provided for light armored vehicles of the new generation, and especially for future ones. In addition, this contradiction is deepened by the lack of in-depth scientific methods and models of the stress-strain state that would adequately reflect the processes and states in the torsion shafts of the suspension systems of light armored vehicles, and would also become the basis for developing measures to increase their strength and durability. The analysis of literaure showed the absence of a systematic connection of structural solutions, technological modes and load conditions in the calculations of torsion shafts of suspension systems of light armored vehicles. The necessity of creating such a system approach in calculations is shown. Conclusions were made about the need to integrate advanced methods and models in a single methodology for calculating torsional shafts of suspension systems of light armored vehicles. The necessity of linking stress-strain state methods with constructive, technological, and operational factors and developing a suitable specialized software-module complex for carrying out relevant research is shown.

Authors: Lee Kyeoung Ae , Park Hye-Ja
Published: June 2023

Objectives: This study identified the associated factors with burnout among hospital nurses. Methods: In this cross-sectional correlational study, 208 nurses working at two university hospitals completed questionnaires on burnout, conflict management style with physician, resilience and organizational commitment. A transformed standardized burnout score of ≥56 was defined to be high. Data were analyzed with χ²-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson correlation analysis and logistic regression.Results: Fifty-nine nurses (28.4%) had a significantly high burnout. The mean T scores of burnout were 61.84±3.89 and 45.31±7.48 in the high and low burnout group. The mean scores of resilience were 3.26±0.35 and 3.70±0.37 in the high and low group (p<0.001). The mean scores of organizational commitment were 2.51±0.48 and 3.30±0.51 in the high and low group (p<0.001). Nurses with high burnout managed conflict with physicians using the styles of collaboration (20.9%), competition (36.2%), avoidance (30.8%), accommodation (33.3%), and compromise (20.9%). Higher burnout was correlated with lower resilience (r=-0.62, p<0.001) and lower organizational commitment (r=-0.58, p<0.001). Lower burnout was associated with higher accommodation conflict management (B=-1.14, OR: 3.13, 95% CI: 1.11-8.85), higher dispositional and higher philosophical resilience (B=-1.31, OR: 3.72, 95% CI: 1.44-9.62; B=-2.29, OR: 9.90, 95% CI: 3.80-25.64). Lower burnout was associated with higher continuance of organizational commitment (B=-1.23, OR: 3.41, 95% CI: 1.80-6.49).Conclusions: Supportive strategies to enhance resilience, organizational commitment, and proper conflict management could be suggested for ameliorating burnout among hospital nurses.
Rebooting the Guidelines for the Education of Library Technicians
Authors: Erickson Norene , Shamchuk Lisa
Published: June 2023

The Canadian Federation of Library Association’s (CFLA-FCAB) Guidelines for the Education of Library Technicians were last updated in 2011 and in need of a reboot. These guidelines have helped to establish a national standard for the education of library technicians in Canada and provided a framework for the development of skills, knowledge, and abilities of library technicians to provide job-ready, and highly skilled graduates. As much has changed in the library and information landscape in recent years, we instigated a substantial update to the Guidelines in 2021. The update was completed and approved by the CFLA-FCAB in July 2022 and is a guide for library educators, library administrators, supervisors, and practitioners. This paper details the research process undertaken to update the Guidelines that reflect the core competencies of library technicians in Canada.

Reference Input Signals Formation for Induction Motor Control in Traction Drive
Authors: Opeiko O. F.
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this work is to build the analytical improved (with resistances estimation) real time computation of the reference inputs for rotor flux and torque in the vector control system of an induction motor of a traction electric drive. The reference inputs must maximize electromagnetic torque in conditions of voltage source instability, particularly in magnetic field weakening mode. The conventional way to control the field weakening mode is to form flux coupling task inversely proportional to the speed or inversely proportional to the square of the speed in second and third zones respectively. Such reference input signals are not able to provide the maximum torque capability over the entire speed range, and the improved torque capability is achieved in different ways. For instance, voltage feedback is useful for the torque capability enhancement in conditions of internal and external perturbations. A wide change in speed with the weakening of the flux reveals the nonlinear properties of an induction electric motor. However, in vector control systems, proportional-integrating (PI) regulators are usually used. Therefore, firstly, linear PI controllers must be robust, and secondly, the reference input signals for flux and torque must guaranty linear, not saturated state of each PI controller. The proposed expressions for calculating reference inputs for induction motor rotor flux and electromagnetic torque as functions of actual rotor speed are the approximate expressions. The estimation of the possible error shows that the error is acceptable. Simulation is performed for the vector control system of an induction motor and taking into account the calculation of the control signal by the microcontroller and the dynamics of the frequency invertor. The simulation of the resulting system validates the effectiveness of the control system using the proposed expressions for the formation of real-time reference input signals for setting the flux and torque.

Based on the analysis of thermohydraulic processes and the structural and functional structure of the proposed system of heat and cold supply of buildings, a multifactorial dependence of the actual conversion coefficient was established to assess the efficiency of transformation of the heat taken from the soil massif and ventilation air. It allows modeling the individual influence of the initial parameters and operational modes of the system in the search for rational conditions for the highly efficient use of energy flows for heat and cooling supply of buildings during the corresponding periods of the year. The results of a qualitative assessment of the multifactorial interrelation of the actual conversion coefficient substantiated the possibility of energy efficient operation of the analyzed system, which is provided under the design conditions of the heating period when the ratio of circulating flow rate through the evaporator and condenser of heat pump is higher than 1.8, which is rational for sports, recreation, shopping and entertainment complexes. The improved structural and functional arrangement of the system based on a binary low-temperature source increases the efficiency of vapor compression transformation of energy flows, indirectly confirming the advisability of maximizing the use of the energy potential of ventilation air during the year with a corresponding accumulation of excess heat in the soil mass, and, consequently, the possibility of reducing the depth of expensive wells or the number of probe heat exchangers.

In the work, taking into account the state of the issue in the field of applying multilayer heat-shielding and wear-resistant coatings, directions of research are substantiated. The objectives of the development are: improvement of powder materials containing zirconium dioxide partially stabilized with yttrium oxide for plasma deposition of heat-shielding coa-tings; improvement of powder materials containing oxide ceramics and nickel-based alloys for plasma deposition of wear-resistant coatings; development of technological parameters of plasma spraying and subsequent processing by the effects of compression plasma on the coating; analysis of the quality of protective coatings obtained using the optimal technology by studying their structure and physical and mechanical properties. The ZrO2 – 7 % Y2O3 particles contain the predominant tetragonal Y0.15Zr0.85O0.93 phase, monoclinic and cubic ZrO2 phases, and the Al2O3–TiO2–Ni–Cr–Al–Y–Ta composition contains the Cr1.12Ni2.88 phase of the nickel-based solid solution, the a-Al2O3, g-Al2O3 phases, and the orthorhombic phase of titanium oxide TiO2 that contribute to its wear resistance. subsequent optimization of technological parameters for the process of plasma spraying of multilayer heat-shielding and wear-resistant coatings. Technological parameters for the process of plasma spraying of multi-layer heat-shielding and wear-resistant coatings are investigated with subsequent optimization. The optimization criteria were the utilization factor of the sprayed powder material and the structure of the coatings. The influence of the spraying distance on the values of operational characteristics of the formed plasma coatings on Al2O3–TiO2–Ni–Cr–Al–Y–Ta has been studied. The obtained results of controlling the phase composition of coatings by varying the chemical composition of powder materials are presented. In the process of deposition, the differences in the phase composition of the formed material are the more significant, the more inhomogeneous the distribution of elements in the initial powder material. Tests have been carried out for cyclic testing in an oven at a maximum temperature within 1300 °C of heat-shielding coatings to determine their heat resistance. They proved the influence of the phase composition of the formed coatings on their ability to withstand high-temperature oxidation.
