Authors: TUNÇ Muhammed Furkan , ÜMMET Durmuş
Published: October 2023

The main purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of spiritual well-being in the relationship between love of life and the general psychological health of individuals between the ages of 18-65. The research was designed by the Relational Screening Model. In the study, love of life was determined as the independent variable, general psychological health as the dependent variable and spiritual well-being as the mediating variable. Hayes' PROCESS Model was used to test the model's accuracy established between dependent, independent and mediating variables. The study group of the research consists of 329 people living in various provinces of Turkey. Data collection tools include the consent form created by the researcher, demographic form, Love of Life Scale (LLS), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). The Pearson Product Moment method was used in the study to examine the relationship between the two variables. In order to measure the relationship between love of life, general psychological health and spiritual well-being variables and demographic variables separately, an independent sample t-test applied. ANOVA (One-Way Analysis of Variance) statistics measured the significance between the love of life, general psychological health and spiritual well-being.

Polyurethane (PU) membranes was prepared using electrospinning followed by modification with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) by radiation-induced grafting (RIG) copolymerization method via electron beam. The lack of knowledge of polymer properties of PU-based membrane prepared using RIG method need for dedicated study. Thus, the effect of thermal stability, in vitro degradation, water uptake analysis, and surface morphology after 84 days’ incubation times toward grafted PU-g-poly(HEMA) membrane was evaluated for the first time using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), analysis of mass, percentage of water uptake and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), respectively. Based on the DTGA curves, the electrospun PU exhibits two-stage of deposition. After grafted with HEMA, the first stage of decomposition was shifted to the lower temperature, and the second stage of decomposition was shifted to a higher temperature. At 500 °C, PU grafted with HEMA leaves residue about 3.526% more elevated in value than original material of PU, which is 1.151%. Degradation test showed that a higher percentage degree of grafting was lowering the percentage of weight loss. SEM images supported the morphology observation shows no noticeable changes such as cracked or eroded has occurred. In conclusion, electrospun PU grafted with HEMA was improved its thermal stability, stable in swelling properties and was found competent to degrade slowly in phosphate buffer saline (PBS). The results show that PU-g-poly(HEMA) exhibits better thermal stability than pure poly(HEMA) and the amorphous regions give the polymer toughness and could be up-and coming candidates for tissue engineering including artificial blood contracting medical devices.

Published: October 2023

The incorporation of materials derived from industrial waste presents a viable avenue for mitigating the exorbitant production expenses associated with building materials, while concurrently ameliorating the deleterious ecological ramifications of said waste. The utilization of pulverized fuel ash (PFA), an industrial residue resulting from the combustion of powdered coal in an electricity-generating facility, as a substitute for cement in the composition of concrete, is a viable option owing to its inherent pozzolanic properties. The present study endeavours to investigate the potential of Partially-Fumed Ash (PFA) as a viable substitute for cement in the production of foamed concrete (FC). The thermal and transport properties were meticulously assessed, with a particular focus on thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity, water absorption, and porosity. A series of experiments have been undertaken wherein varying proportions of Portland Pozzolan Cement have been substituted for PFA, specifically at levels of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% by weight. The findings suggest a prospective application of PFA in the manufacturing of FC. The utilization of PFA (Pulverised Fuel Ash) assumes a pivotal role in enhancing the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity, water absorption, and porosity of FC. Therefore, it can be inferred that the utilization of PFA holds promising potential in the production of cost-effective, lightweight construction materials, while simultaneously mitigating the adverse environmental consequences.

Leaders are very important in an organization because leaders are agents of change. A leader must pay attention to his leadership style when carrying out his duties as a leader. If the employee's leadership style is good, the employee's performance will be good and will increase, and vice versa, if the employee's leadership style is not good, the employee's performance will be bad or even decrease. This research is a quantitative descriptive analysis that tries to show the influence of leadership style on employee performance. The instrument used in this research is a questionnaire, while the variables used in this research are the independent variable, namely leadership style (X) and the dependent variable is employee performance (Y). The research results show a strong relationship between leadership style and employee performance, based on the determination calculations studied, it produces a value of 86.4% which shows that the influence of leadership style on employee performance and the remaining 13.6% is influenced by other factors.
A Simultaneous Numerical Integration Routine for the Fast Calculation of Similar Integrations
Authors: ALPARSLAN Aytaç
Published: October 2023

In this paper, a fast and simultaneous integration routine that is tailored for obtaining the results of multiple numerical integrations is introduced. The routine uses the same nodes for multiple integrations defined for similar integrands. In the paper it is demonstrated by several examples that if the integrands of interest are similar on the integration path, then using the same nodes decreases the computational costs dramatically. The method is introduced by updating the popular Gauss-Kronrod quadrature rule, but the same steps given in the paper can be applied to any other numerical integration rule.
Transformed Individuals, Transforming the World: A Challenge to the Christian Church in Ghana
Authors: Antwi Joseph Kofi
Published: October 2023

It has been argued that due to the fallen moral standards even in the Church, moral decadence and its associated ills have risen to alarming heights in Ghana. The 2021 Population and Housing Census shows that over 71% are Christians, yet corruption, greed, arrogance, pride, and extravagant lifestyles, for example, have become a challenge to the moral fibre of the country. The question is “Why is Christianity growing in Ghana, yet clouded with an increase in moral decadence? Opinion leaders, including some church leaders, do not only agree that corruption should be nipped in the bud, but they encourage that a conscious effort is made to change attitudes. Through a literary review of relevant scholarly materials, this paper argued that individual transformation is a prerequisite to transforming the world. With an ethical theory of deontology providing the theoretical lens, this paper posited that the Church is responsible for intensifying her Christian education, nurturing, or character formation activities to enable members to become faithful disciples and active responsible citizens who would transform their world. This article contributes to the exploration of Christian education and Moral or Character Formation in Ghana.

Keywords: Christian Education, Theory of Deontology, Character Formation, Kakistocracy.
Beyond Phosphorus: Salinization as a driver of eutrophication symptoms in North American lakes
Authors: Radosavljevic Jovana , Slowinski Stephanie , Rezanezhad Fereidoun , Parsons Chris , Van Cappellen Philippe
Published: October 2023

The acceleration of global urbanization continues to fuel concerns surrounding water quality impairments in urban lakes, particularly eutrophication. Eutrophication of freshwater environments is generally assumed to be driven by increased anthropogenic phosphorus (P) supplies which can alleviate limitations on primary production. Salinization is also recognized as a stressor on urban freshwater quality, particularly in cold temperate climate regions where salts are applied to road surfaces as de-icing agents. While the ecological damages caused by P enrichment and salinization to freshwaters are both well established, thus far, their impacts on water quality have only been considered independently. Although improvements to the management of urban stormwater and wastewater have decreased P inputs to freshwater systems in recent decades, many lakes worldwide remain eutrophic, as indicated by declining dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations and rising dissolved inorganic P (DIP) concentrations in the hypolimnion. Our previous study of an urban freshwater lake in Ontario, Canada, showed that persistent eutrophication symptoms are linked to salinization associated with impervious land cover expansion, rather than increased external P loading. In this research, we present a multiple decade of water chemistry data analyses for several other urban lakes in Ontario, Wisconsin, and Minnesota to determine how increased lake salinization rates intersect with water temperature and morphometry to alter water column stratification, thus, increasing eutrophication symptoms. Our trend analysis shows progressive salinization (observed through significant increases in chloride or electrical conductivity) of all the lakes investigated. Calculations of lakes mixing indices over time show that, on average, lake stratification is becoming more stable with increased salinity playing a crucial role in enhancing lake stratification. Overall, salinity is becoming a stronger regulator of water density than temperature in the cold temperate urban freshwater lakes of North America. The increasing salinity trends are accompanied by increasing hypolimnion hypoxia and increasing DIP to total P (TP) ratios in all lakes, thereby demonstrating the mechanistic link between salinization and internal P loading. Rising salinity intensifies water column stratification, in turn, reducing the oxygenation of the hypolimnion and enhancing internal P loading from the sediments. These results highlight that stricter management of de-icing salt application rates should be considered to control lake eutrophication symptoms in cold climate regions.

The Caucasus is a hotspot of global biodiversity. However, even in the era of big data, this region remains underrepresented in public vegetation-plot databases. The Transcaucasian Vegetation Database (GIVD code AS-00-005) is a novel dataset which primarily aims to compile, store and share vegetation-plot records sampled by the Braun-Blanquet approach and originating from Transcaucasia (the Southern Caucasus), i.e. the countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The database currently contains 2,882 vegetation plots. The oldest plots originate from 1929, the newest from 2022, and their collection is ongoing. The data include mesophilous forests (phytosociological class Carpino-Fagetea) and various alpine and subalpine communities (e.g. Carici-Kobresietea, Loiseleurio-Vaccinietea) – selected other habitats are also represented. Most of the plots (84%) are georeferenced, 36% with high precision of 25 m or less. The database includes 2,500 taxon names; Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae and Rosaceae represent the most common families. Vascular plants are recorded in all plots, while data on species composition of bryophytes are available for 11% of plots. The database intends to contribute to the complex biodiversity research of this biologically unique territory. The data might be used in diverse projects in botany, biogeography, ecology and nature protection.

Public-Privé, les frontières tombent : quelle construction d’une culture commune au sein d’un groupement de coopération sanitaire ? Les apports d’une recherche-action
Authors: Franchisteguy Isabelle , Ospital David
Published: October 2023

Les Groupements de Coopération Sanitaire (GCS) sont des dispositifs de coordination et de coopération qui résultent de la mise en commun et du partage de moyens issus d’établissements publics et privés de santé. Après avoir rappelé le contexte de création des GCS, nous évoquerons comment lorsqu’ils sont érigés en établissements de santé, une organisation nouvelle est à mettre en place avec des personnels issus de différents établissements, à la fois publics et privés au sein de ces nouvelles organisations. Dans un secteur de la santé où se superposent de multiples identités professionnelles et des cultures publiques et privées très fortes, des professionnels doivent collaborer dans le but commun de prendre en charge des patients. À l’occasion d’une recherche-action au sein d’un GCS, nous avons souhaité comprendre comment, dans ce contexte, se construit une culture commune de travail. Le processus collaboratif de la recherche s’est mis en place en différentes étapes : des réunions de synchronisation avec les différentes directions successives, la réalisation de 28 entretiens individuels ou en binômes, et une réunion de restitution. Ce processus en différentes étapes a permis aux acteurs de prendre conscience de la multitude de cultures qui coexistent au sein de leur organisation. C’est la première étape indispensable au développement ultérieur d’une culture commune. Notre analyse a permis de mettre en évidence 13 dimensions fortes quant à la construction de sens dans un contexte de culture commune au sein d’un GCS. Parmi ces dimensions, certaines seront clairement révélatrices d’une confrontation entre culture du public et culture du privé. D’autres, au contraire, révéleront des points communs sur lesquels les acteurs peuvent s’appuyer pour construire du sens. Enfin, certaines dimensions constitutives de culture s’avèrent sortir du prisme public / privé. Notre article relate enfin des mécanismes de construction de sens que tout gestionnaire de GCS pourra prendre en compte, dans le contexte spécifique de construction d’une culture commune au sein d’un GCS, contexte consubstantiel à ce type d’organisation. Ainsi, pour la construction d’une culture commune dans le cadre de la création d’un GCS, il conviendra d’identifier dans un premier temps les éléments constitutifs de sens pour le personnel. Ensuite, il faudra accompagner le personnel qui devra prendre conscience collectivement des micro- cultures existantes avant de s’accorder sur un ensemble de représentations communes.
De la règle du jeu aux jeux sur la règle : l’utilisation des données numériques personnelles dans la présidentielle française de 2017
Authors: Branellec Gurvan , Sommier Béatrice
Published: October 2023

Notre recherche s’intéresse à l’utilisation des données numériques personnelles des électeurs par les acteurs du champ politique lors de l’élection présidentielle 2017. Elle a pour objectif de comprendre la construction de la régulation du recours à ces données au sein d’une configuration que tissent les différents acteurs que sont les équipes de campagne, les entreprises de solutions et/ou stratégie numériques électorales et la Commission Nationale Informatique et Liberté (CNIL). Une enquête qualitative inductive constate que les règles du jeu fixées par la puissance publique (CNIL) sont connues par les différents acteurs du champ politique, mais en décalage temporel avec leurs pratiques d’e-marketing ou perçues comme floues. Cela aboutit à une co-construction évolutive du cadre réglementaire. Interprétée à la lueur de la théorie des «  modèles de jeu  » d’Elias et des politiques d’influence d’Attarça, Corbel et Nioche, cette co-construction résulte d’un «  jeu sur la règle  » des acteurs qui développent une configuration sociale fluide dans laquelle un équilibre des forces s’opère entre les différentes parties prenantes du champ politique. Complété avec la Théorie de la Régulation Sociale de Reynaud, l’article s’interroge alors sur ce jeu sur la règle que constitue la corégulation entre acteurs publics et privés en se demandant si l’avantage ne devrait pas demeurer du côté de la puissance publique.

L’espace de l’écrit
Authors: Matot Jean-Paul
Published: October 2023

L’environnement numérique transforme l’écrit et fait émerger des dimensions numériques de l’identité individuelle. Les catégories auteur/ lecteur tendent à s’estomper, au profit d’une recomposition par agrégation, notamment en fonction des gradients d’activité et de passivité liés aux habiletés techniques. Ainsi le dessaisissement de l’auteur, thème développé par M. Blanchot bien avant l’émergence du numérique et d’Internet, s’en trouve-t-il réactualisé, mettant en évidence l’hétérogénéité des temporalités et des lieux psychiques, particulièrement évidente chez l’artiste créateur. La création de l’œuvre prend sa source dans la destructivité traumatique sans en délivrer l’artiste, ce qui maintient la dimension compulsive du processus créateur visant à conjurer la perte du rapport au monde et à soi-même. L’œuvre en effet prend place, laissant son créateur dans un non-lieu qui est aussi un hors temps. L’environnement numérique ouvrirait-il un espace intermédiaire, entre la parole et l’écrit, entre écriture et lecture, recelant un potentiel transitionnel anti-traumatique répondant au décontenancement révélé par notre modernité technologique ?

L’auteur parcourt l’œuvre d’André Green en suivant le fil de la pensée clinique. Ce fil va du premier trépied pour définir le travail psychanalytique qui repose sur le cadre, le rêve et l’interprétabilité, jusqu’en 2010 où il propose un autre trépied reposant sur le cadre interne de l’analyse, l’acte et le travail vers l’intériorisation, en passant par sa théorie sur le cadre et le processus analytique, sur l’intrapsychique et l’intersubjectif, sur la structure encadrante de la psyché et l’hallucination négative, sur les processus tertiaires et la tiercéité.
La destructivité au carrefour de l’individuel et du collectif
Authors: Minazio Nicole
Published: October 2023

Pour Green, Malaise dans la culture (Freud) donne une place considérable aux pulsions de destruction. Green renouvelle les conceptions freudiennes avec le travail du négatif qui interroge les effets de l’introduction des pulsions de vie et de mort et de la deuxième topique dans la théorie et la pratique psychanalytique contemporaine. Il interroge et propose des hypothèses qui rendent compte de la massivité destructrice à l’échelle humaine. Comment penser les rapports entre l’individu et l’environnement, dont les défaillances peuvent aller jusqu’à la barbarie ?
Le cynisme, messager hâtif de Thanatos
Authors: Orasanu Brindusa
Published: October 2023

L’article se propose d’aborder le cynisme comme variante de la cruauté dans la pensée. Le cynisme se trouverait, d’une part, dans un rapport de parenté avec la perversité, la distorsion de la réalité et la pensée opératoire, d’autre part, dans un rapport d’opposition défensive avec le deuil, l’idéal, la beauté et la fonction poétique. On présuppose une relation particulière du cynisme avec le temps psychique, c’est-à-dire une action de « contraction » de celui-ci dans le but de le maîtriser. Le cynisme est également vu comme une « idéologie de la limite », à l’extrême, de la limite cruelle entre la vie et la mort. Comme illustration de cette idée, l’auteure propose des références comparatives à quelques créations cinématographiques : La vie est belle de Roberto Benigni (1997), L’enfance d’Ivan de Andrei Tarkovski (1962) et Le Messager de Oren Moverman (2009), tout comme au roman de Jonathan Safran Foer, Tout est illuminé (2002). L’article propose aussi deux vignettes cliniques en tant qu’intervention analytique « cynique ».

Dé-lire avec P. Bayard
Authors: Monzani Stefano
Published: October 2023

Dans ce texte, je traite des relations entre la littérature et la psychanalyse à partir de la théorie de la lecture de P. Bayard, critique littéraire et psychanalyste. Axée sur un dispositif de fiction théorique, dispositif délirant et paranoïaque, l’œuvre de cet auteur se caractérise par son rejet de toute pensée dogmatique au profit de la subjectivité, de l’originalité, de la multiplicité et du virtuel. Il en est ainsi pour son ouvrage sur la littérature appliquée à la psychanalyse qui inverse carrément l’approche herméneutique pratiquée depuis Freud et, en amont, dans sa façon de concevoir toute lecture d’un texte comme infinie, car à chaque fois singulière et incommensurable. Cette approche de la lecture des textes littéraires peut se transférer à la lecture de notre propre psychisme, à celui d’autrui et du monde en général. L’œuvre de Bayard invite, littéralement parlant, à la fois à délirer et à dé-lire , c’est-à-dire à s’écarter du sillon de tout enfermement dogmatique, à se débarrasser du poids de la parole de l’Autre symbolique et enfin à trouver en soi la force d’écrire le texte singulier de sa propre vie.
Films et rêves. Réflexions sur le film Inception de Christopher Nolan (2010)
Authors: Hebbrecht Marc
Published: October 2023

Dans l’introduction l’auteur montre qu’il y a une évolution parallèle entre l’histoire de la psychanalyse et celle du film. Plusieurs films prennent le rêve comme thème principal. Dans l’article, l’auteur élabore une interprétation psychanalytique du film Inception de Christopher Nolan (2010). Nolan tente de rendre pensable et représentable en rêves les dilemmes émotionnels collectifs auxquels nous sommes confrontés dans notre société. Il propose une solution imaginaire aux dilemmes existentiels auxquels les spectateurs sont confrontés : comment un jeune homme adulte élabore un compromis satisfaisant entre ses ambitions professionnelles, son besoin d’intimité et de dépendance dans sa vie de couple et l’accomplissement de sa paternité. Il souligne la polysémie et la stratification des rêves. Finalement ce film illustre bien la difficulté que l’analyste éprouve quand il doit explorer le narcissisme destructeur de son patient et le long travail qu’exige cette part du traitement psychanalytique avant d’aborder le travail de deuil de l’objet primaire et d’avoir accès à la problématique œdipienne.

High-Quality Growth in Rural China
Authors: Liu Xiaotong , Qi Chengshuang , Liu Yu , Xia Yuhuan , Wu Haili
Published: October 2023

Research has often overlooked the role of digital innovation in driving social transformation, especially in underserved rural areas, but the integration of digital technology is promoting rural high-quality development through the establishment of digital entrepreneurial ecosystems. Approaching from a complex systems perspective, this study contends that these ecosystems navigate multiple routes to enhance total factor productivity (TFP) in rural settings. Performing a configurational analysis of a sample of 60 demonstration counties for rural revitalization in China, this study identifies three primary pathways yielding high TFP: an investment-led model under government stewardship, a collaborative model steered by both government and social capital, and a talent-centric model governed by digital market forces. Conversely, this study also pinpoints a pathway that does not yield high TFP. Theoretical and practical insights are offered for researchers and practitioners exploring digital innovation and its implications for rural entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Profile of the Adsorption Ability of Sulfonate-Modified Lignocellulose Based on Bagasse Waste to Some Batik Textile Dyes
Authors: Utomo Suryadi Budi , Fadillah Muhammad Ivan , Yulianti Rika
Published: October 2023

The presence of synthetic dye contamination produced from the batik industry encourages research to overcome it through the adsorption method using a smart adsorbent, in this case an adsorbent that has several active groups. This study aims to examine the adsorbent of lignocellulose sulfonate based on bagasse waste for some textile dyes used in the batik industry. The synthesis of lignocellulose sulfonate was carried out through several steps such as extraction and activation using Na2SO3 and NaHCO3. The resulting products were then characterized using FTIR and SEM apparatures and applied them as an adsorbent for Remazol Red RB and Indanthrene Blue RS dyes. The adsorption test was carried out using bagasse, lignocellulose, and lignocellulose sulfonate adsorbents at a solution concentration of 50 ppm with variations in contact time of 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 minutes. The remaining dye content in the solution was then tested using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. From the experimental results, it is known that lignocellulose sulfonate, lignocellulose, and bagasse are able to absorb Remazol Red RB dye, respectively, by 84.41%, 63.87% and 61.52%. While for Indanthrene Blue RS dye, the largest absorption was found in lignocellulose sulfonate adsorbents of 56.35%, lignocellulose 50.72%, and baggase 45.93%. The highest adsorption capacity was found in the lignocellulosic sulfonate adsorbent, namely 42.2081 ppm for Remazol Red RB adsorption and 28.1771 ppm for Indanthrene Blue RS dye.
The Liquid Fraction of ZA27 Zinc Alloy from TLP Diffusion Bonding Affecting Mechanical Properties and Microstructural Characterizations of SSC-ADC12 Aluminum Alloy
Authors: Meengam Chaiyoot , Dunyakul Yongyuth , Maunkhaw Dech
Published: October 2023

This work investigated liquid fraction in ZA27 zinc alloy interlayered with SSC-ADC12 aluminum alloy workpieces for Transient Liquid Phase (TLP) diffusion bonding. The results clearly indicated that liquid fraction had a necessary influence on TLP diffusion bonding. In other words, the high liquid fraction and bonding time tends to produce excellent bond strength. The maximum bond strength at 27.21 MPa was from 100% liquid fraction and 90 min from bonding time. The hardness increased by approximately 23.36% comparing to SSC-ADC12 aluminum alloy and by 11.18% comparing to the ZA27 zinc alloy. The microstructure was homogeneous in the bond line and formed to MgZn2 and CuZn4 intermetallic compound under Scanning Electron Microscope. According to Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer analysis, Zn atoms had the ability to move about 4.381 mm from the bond line and the elements' uniform distribution.

Authors: Ali Usman , Qurashi Muhammad Saqlain , Lartey Patrick Osei , Ali Imran , Liaw Peter K. , Qiao Jun Wei
Published: October 2023

A286 nickel-iron based superalloy used in high temperature applications. Age hardening is done to enhance the creep behavior which is much affected by TiC and eta (ⴄ (Ni3Ti)) phases. Effect of carbon and titanium (0.02C-2.46Ti, 0.04C-2.54Ti, 0.05C-2.58Ti, and 0.06C-2.62Ti) on tensile behavior of aged A286 superalloy is systematically investigated via TiC and ⴄ (Ni3Ti) phases. It has been revealed that carbon and titanium contents are in proportional to nucleation of TiC and eta phases in the austenitic matrix of this alloy. Precipitation of these phases enhanced yield strength from 354MPa to 501MPa and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) 543MPa to 651MPa. However, plasticity decreased nearly 4%. Fracture topography showed that the ductile transgranular fracture in low C-Ti alloys are due to TiC particles, whereas in high C-Ti alloys fracture nature is found brittle intergranular due to eta phases.

The effects of nanocellulose extracted from pineapple leaf fiber on the physico-chemical and thermal properties of epoxy nanocomposite are reported. Nanocellulose was added to the epoxy in different amounts of loadings (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 wt.%) to prepare nanocomposites. The physico-chemical and thermal properties of the nanocellulose reinforced epoxy nanocomposites were investigated. Surface characterization of the nanocomposite was done using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Functional groups of the nanocomposites were evaluated using fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Thermal properties of the nanocomposites were investigated using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and differential thermal analyzer (DTA). Experimental results revealed that the 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt.% nanocellulose loadings were homogeneously distributed and well-dispersed in the composite matrix as indicated in the SEM images. However, aggregation was observed in the matrix with 2.0 wt.% nanocellulose loading. Moreover, FTIR spectra revealed that the absorbance of the vibrational mode corresponding to the interaction of nanocellulose and epoxy matrices significantly increases as the nanocellulose loading ratio increased. Furthermore, thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) showed that the incorporation of nanocellulose improved significantly the thermal properties of epoxy nanocomposites.

Natural fibers as reinforcement can be an alternative material with an environmentally friendly profile. The aim of this work is to determine the potential of Indonesian Ramie fiber, as a reinforcing material in cement mortar, by exploring new twisting ideas for natural fibers and the impact of twisting techniques on tensile strength. Long fibers are arranged in four cross-sectional areas and also in different numbers of constituent layers, as 2 ply and 3 ply. The spinning process contributes to the final yarn result which the process is carried out in the same direction for each ply, but to unite each ply it is necessary to rotate the direction of rotation and the direction of the single fiber yarn (opposite way). Twisted Ramie fiber yarns were tested for tensile strength using the Universal Testing Machine (UTM). It showed that comparing at the same weight of 24 gr twisted yarn, 3 ply twisted yarn shows the highest tensile strength value as much as 110,32 MPa than 2 ply as much as 96,56 MPa that indicates that the number of ply affects the tensile strength of the yarn.

Published: October 2023

Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is a phenomenon in which cracks develop in certain materials due to a combination of stress and corrosion. This process is commonly observed in low-alloy steels with a ferritic-pearlitic structure, such as X70, which are often used in buried pipeline applications within the oil and gas industry. These materials are particularly susceptible to SCC failure in dilute solutions. To simulate SCC conditions, the Near-neutral simulated soil solution (NS4) has been established as a widely accepted industry standard for conducting crack growth experiments in many laboratories. This paper aims to investigate the role of electrochemistry in SCC under near-neutral soil solution conditions by presenting a numerical study using COMSOL on the effects of applied potential on corrosion rate in near-neutral soil solutions. According to the findings, the electrode thickness, current density, and corrosion rates were mostly affected by an applied potential of -1.2 V. This implies that slight modifications in the applied voltage can greatly influence the corrosion rate of the electrode. This outcome aligns with prior research on the influence of potential on electrode performance and emphasizes the crucial role of precise control of the applied potential in electrochemical systems.

Objective:

The purpose was to observe the anti-inflammatory effects of Dendrobium huoshanense polysaccharides (DHPs) on carrageenan-induced sterile air pouch synovitis.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 30 Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were randomly and equally assigned to the control, carrageenan-induced air pouch synovitis model (model), and carrageenan-induced air pouch synovitis model + DHP (200 mg/kg of body weight) (model + DHP) groups. Mice in the model + DHP group were intragastrically administered 200 mg/kg BW of DHP solution daily for 10 days. Mice in the control and model groups were intragastrically administered the same amount of distilled water. Two hours after intragastric administration on day 10, 1 mL of a 1% carrageenan solution in a sterile 0.9% saline solution was injected into the air pouch of mice in the model and model + DHP groups. Six hours later, the mice were sacrificed and 4 mL of ice-cold sterile 0.9% saline solution was injected into the air pouch to fully wash its inner wall. The lavage fluid was collected to observe the color and turbidity of the lavage fluid, as well as the appearance of the backside of the air pouch. The exudate volume, total number of leukocytes, protein content, levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity of the lavage fluid were analyzed.

Results:

The results showed that pretreatment with DHPs reduced the carrageenan-induced exudate volume (P < 0.01), total leukocytes (P < 0.05), and protein content (P < 0.01) in the air pouch lavage fluid. Furthermore, mice in the model + DHP group had significantly higher (P < 0.01) T-SOD activity and lower MDA content (P < 0.05), IL-1β (P < 0.05), and TNF-α (P < 0.01) levels in the air pouch lavage fluid compared with the model group.

Conclusion:

It is concluded that DHPs partially alleviated carrageenan-induced sterile inflammation, and its mechanism may be related to reducing exudation and scavenging oxygen-free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and reducing the level of the proinflammatory factors, such as IL-1β and TNF-α.

Background:

The scintigraphy technique is the most sensitive test for the detection of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Scintigraphy techniques employ two methods: the liquid method and the capsule method.

Aim:

In this prospective study, we are trying to find out the efficiency of the capsule method for gastroesophageal reflux scintigraphy over the liquid method and to determine the ease of execution of the technique and the interpretation of the results.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 65 symptomatic patients (age range: 7–71 years; mean age: 35.2 years) were included in the study. They were divided into two groups: group A, which included 18 patients who underwent the liquid method and Group B, which included 47 patients who underwent the capsule method. The average administered dose of 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid was 11.1–18.5 MBq.

Results:

The results showed that 45 (69.12%) of the 65 patients tested positive for GERD. Furthermore, 15 were positive in the liquid method and 30 in the capsule method. Grade III reflux was seen in 66.67% of patients, and 33.33% of patients with Grade II and I reflux were diagnosed using both methods.

Conclusion:

Thus, in conclusion, we can say that both liquid and capsule methods are equally sensitive for the detection of low as well as high refluxate volumes.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a fairly common procedure and is currently considered the gold standard for cholecystectomy. However, the laparoscopic procedure in the presence of gall bladder cancer (GBC) is associated with the risk of port-site metastasis (PSM). Furthermore, in few cases, GBC remains occult even on postoperative histopathology and presents with PSM remotely. Here, we describe two such cases of GBC with occult primary who presented with PSM and also defined the role of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in the management of such cases.

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine cancers. The most common histological subtypes are papillary and follicular variants; these are “differentiated thyroid cancers” and are associated with an excellent prognosis. The exact mechanism of thyroid cancer is not known. Several genetic alterations and environmental factors are found to be associated with this cancer. Patients with differentiated thyroid cancer are treated with postoperative radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy to ablate residual thyroid tissue and metastatic micro-foci. It is thought that after RAI, there is an increased risk of secondary malignancies such as lung, renal, and stomach cancer and lymphomas. However, the risk of secondary malignancy is not clear. They may be associated with genetic syndromes, environmental factors, and radiation exposure. The secondary malignancy may be detected incidentally during follow-up or present with signs and symptoms of that malignancy. There is no direct association between second malignancy and radiation exposure in I-131 therapies. We present a case series of five patients treated with high doses of I-131 for the remnant. The patients developed metachronous malignancies later in life.
