Application of AI failure identification techniques in condition monitoring using wavelet analysis
Authors: Gattino Cecilia , Ottonello Elia , Berselli Giovanni , Stecki Jacek
Published: March 2024

In the context of Industry 4.0, Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) for complex systems is essential in order to identify failures and mitigate them. After the identification of a sensor set that guarantees the system monitoring, three main problems must be addressed for effective CBM: i) collection of the right data; ii) choice of the optimal technique to identify the specific data-set; iii) correct classification of the results. The solutions currently used are typically data driven and, therefore, the results are variable, as it is sometimes challenging to identify a pattern for all specific failures. This paper presents a solution that combines a data driven approach with an in-depth knowledge of the mechanical system’s behaviour. The choice of the right sensor set is calculated with the aid of the software MADe (Maintenance Aware Design environment), whereas the optimal data-set identification technique is pursued with a second tool called Syndrome Diagnostics. After an overview of such methodology, this work also presents RSGWPT (Redundant Second Generation Wavelet Packaged Transform) analysis to show different possible outcomes depending on the available sensor data and to tailor a detection technique to a given data set. Supervised and unsupervised learning techniques are tested to obtain either an anomaly detection or a failure identification depending on the chosen sensor set. By using the described method, it is possible to identify potential failures in the system with sufficient notice to implement the optimal maintenance actions.

Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Rekhviashvili Akaki
Published: March 2024

Figurative-ornamental relief samples of artistic processing of Racha stone of the 10th century are united in three individual workshops of different chronological stages on the basis of artistic-stylistic similarity. In the decoration of these monuments, including stone iconostases, it is worth noting the diverse ornamental repertoire built on plant-geometric motifs. Of the above mentioned, several characteristic motifs of plant ornament of Racha stone iconostases of the 10th century are presented. They are discussed in the context of comparison with parallel materials of other modern Georgian monuments. On the basis of comparative analysis of the monuments of Italy, Croatia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Egypt in stone, wood material and stucco of the 8th-9th centuries, the issue of the existence of foreign analogies of decorative motifs used in Georgian examples is confirmed. Which, in a broad historical-cultural context, should indicate the links of Georgian art of the 10th century with modern Eastern and Western civilizations and, accordingly, the mutual influence of artistic trends characteristic of the era.

Clergy in the Apion archive: Texts and contexts
Authors: Wegner Joanna
Published: March 2024

The article focuses on the attestations of clergy in the Oxyrhynchite archive of the Apion estate. In this group of texts, clerics feature in various roles such as administrators, cultivators, and legal specialists. A close reading of these documents within the context of normative sources and testimonies from outside the Apion archive allows us to come closer to an understanding of the clergy as a socially and economically diverse group poised to play intermediary roles in the networks of a great estate. The various aspects of the profiles of clerics recorded in the texts (wealth, education, skills, place of origin) encourage us to envisage the clerical status as an intersectional experience where symbolic-religious and socio-economic factors remained in constant interplay.
ΙΝΔΙΚΤΙΩΝ in editions of papyri: A sociolinguist’s comment on the spelling and declension of the term
Authors: Stolk Joanne Vera
Published: March 2024

This article takes a ‘bottom-up’ approach to the spelling of the genitive case of the word ΙΝΔΙΚΤΙΩΝ as ΙΝΔΙΚΤΙΩΝOΣ or ΙΝΔΙΚΤΙOΝOΣ. It is first shown that the editors of documentary papyri supplement this term in abbreviations and lacunae mostly with the omicron spelling. Chronological quantitative analysis shows that this is also the spelling that is used by ancient writers in contemporary documents. The conventional spelling in documentary papyri between the fourth and eighth centuries in Egypt may thus have differed from what is prescribed in literary sources.

O artigo trata do ensino da diversidade cultural em contextos locais no Brasil e em Portugal. Para tanto, a investigação utilizou uma abordagem qualitativa baseada em entrevistas semiestruturadas com professores/as de escolas públicas, em cidades localizadas nos dois países. A análise crítica das entrevistas tomou como referência perspectivas teóricas da Educação e das Ciências Sociais. Como problemas dentro e fora da escola, o reconhecimento e o ensino da diversidade cultural envolvem as noções de multiculturalidade e interculturalidade. No estudo sobre a diversidade cultural e os processos de escolarização, evidencia-se o conceito de cultura escolar. No caso português, tem-se observado a entrada de estudantes de diferentes países nas escolas públicas. Com a diversidade étnica na escola, a cultura escolar enfrenta problemas nos domínios dos sentimentos de pertencimento e na aprendizagem. No sistema educacional brasileiro, a inclusão da diversidade cultural no ensino é incipiente, sobretudo das culturas indígenas, africanas e afro-brasileiras. A análise conclui que, na contemporaneidade, o ensino da diversidade cultural constitui um desafio para a escolarização e os processos formativos em escolas públicas.

ABSTRACT
Hypertension is one of the most common diseases in the community. The incidence of hypertension is still increasing due to one of the factors is patient non-compliance in taking medication. This non-compliance results in uncontrolled blood pressure, putting patients at risk of complications such as brain damage and heart disease. The purpose of this study was to identify medication adherence in hypertensive patients in the community. This study used a descriptive research design. The population of this study were hypertensive patients who visited Jonggrang Village Polindes, with a sample size of 81 people selected by accidental sampling. The results of this study indicate that most (64%) hypertensive patients have moderate medication compliance and a small proportion of 10% of patients have low medication compliance. It is expected that hypertensive patients have a high commitment to the importance of taking medication regularly.

3D Printing of a Tidal Turbine Blade Using Two Methods of SLS and FFF of a Reinforced PA12 Composite: A Comparative Study
Authors: Rouway Marwane , Nachtane Mourad , Tarfaoui Mostapha , Jamoudi Sbai Sara
Published: March 2024

This study scrutinizes the thermomechanical dynamics of 3D-printed hydrofoil blades utilizing a carbon and glass bead-reinforced thermoplastic polymer. Comparative analyses underscore the pivotal role of polymer reinforcement in augmenting mechanical strength and mitigating deformation and residual stress. The investigation elucidates the expeditious and cost-efficient manufacturing potential of low-cost Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printers for small-scale blades, revealing exemplary mechanical performance with nominal deflection and warping in the PA12-CB/GB printed blade. A comprehensive juxtaposition between Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and FFF printing methods favors SLS due to its isotropic properties, notwithstanding remediable warping. Emphasizing the rigorous marine environment, the study cautions against the anisotropic properties of FFF-printed blades, despite their low mechanical warping. These discernments contribute to hydrofoil design optimization through numerical analysis, shedding light on additive manufacturing’s potential for small blades in renewable energy, while underscoring the imperative for further research to advance these techniques.

Meningococcal meningitis (MM) and invasive meningococcal disease remain a major public health problem that generates enormous public alarm. It is caused by Neisseria meningitidis, a Gram-negative diplococcus with an enormous capacity for acute and rapidly progressive disease, both episodic and epidemic in nature, with early diagnosis and treatment playing a major role. It occurs at any age, but is most common in children under 5 years of age followed by adolescents. Although most cases occur in healthy people, the incidence is higher in certain risk groups. Despite advances in reducing the incidence, it is estimated that in 2017 there were around 5 million new cases of MM worldwide, causing approximately 290,000 deaths and a cumulative loss of about 20,000,000 years of healthy life. In Spain, in the 2021/22 season, 108 microbiologically confirmed cases of MM were reported, corresponding to an incidence rate of 0.23 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. This is a curable and, above all, vaccine-preventable disease, for which the World Health Organisation has drawn up a roadmap with the aim of reducing mortality and sequelae by 2030. For all these reasons, the Illustrious Official College of Physicians of Madrid (ICOMEM) and the Medical Associations of 8 other provinces of Spain, have prepared this opinion document on the situation of MM in Spain and the resources and preparation for the fight against it in our country. The COVID-19 and Emerging Pathogens Committee of ICOMEM has invited experts in the field to participate in the elaboration of this document.
Embedded Cyber-Physical System for Physiological Control of Ventricular Assist Devices
Authors: Santos Bruno Jesus dos , Leão Tarcisio Fernandes , Barboza Silva Marcelo , Drigo da Silva Evandro , Bock Eduardo Guy Perpétuo
Published: March 2024

Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) play a crucial role in both bridging to transplantation and serving as destination therapy for congestive heart failure (CHF) management. This study aims to address the limitations of existing control strategies for VADs, specifically their inability to adapt automatically to hemodynamic changes. It proposes a novel embedded cyber-physical system (CPS) based on real-time data processing, reconfigurable architecture, and communication protocols aligned with Health 4.0 concepts to enhance physiological control over VADs (PC-VAD). The research employs a multi-objective PC-VAD approach within a hybrid cardiovascular simulator. An embedded CPS is introduced to overcome challenges related to differences in controller characteristics between computers and embedded systems. The study assesses the performance of the embedded CPS by comparing it with a computer-based control system. The embedded CPS demonstrates outcomes comparable to the computer-based control system, maintaining mean arterial pressure and cardiac output at physiological levels. Even in the face of variations in ejection fraction, the embedded CPS dynamically adjusts the pump's rotational speed based on simulated clinical conditions. Notably, there is no aortic reflux to the ventricle through the VAD during testing. These findings affirm the satisfactory control performance of the embedded CPS in regulating VADs. The study concludes that the embedded CPS effectively addresses the limitations of current VAD control strategies, exhibiting control performance comparable to computer-based systems. However, further experimentation and in vivo studies are necessary to validate and ensure its applicability in real-world scenarios.
Effect of Preventive Care on Postoperative Rehabilitation and Nutritional Status in Patients with Cerebral Hemorrhage
Authors: Wan Lei , Huang Lei , Wang Ke , An Jingjing
Published: March 2024

Cerebral hemorrhage is a common cerebrovascular disease affecting middle-aged and older adults, with an increasing annual incidence. Surgical removal of intracranial hematomas can save the lives of patients with cerebral hemorrhage. However, surgery-induced stress injuries can severely affect the perioperative nutritional status of patients, leading to an adverse prognosis. This study aimed to examine the effect of preventive care on patients with cerebral hemorrhage to improve patient safety during treatment. We found that patients in the experimental group who received preventive care had substantially improved postoperative rehabilitation quality, a decreased incidence of postoperative adverse reactions, and a shortened hospital stay than those in the control group who received routine care. Furthermore, preventive care reduced the risk of malnutrition and considerably improved the nutritional status of patients with CH. Preventive care can effectively improve the postoperative safety of patients with CH, shorten their rehabilitation cycle, promote their body function recovery, and enhance their nutritional status, which is essential in clinical practice.

The paper identifies typical traits of the Socratic protagonist and his functionality in Chekhov’s plays of the 1890s. Through the optics of the presence of this type of hero in the author’s later experiments for the theater, Dr. Dorn is considered. The author of this paper proves that the socratic principle is attached to him, which makes it possible to more accurately determine the place of this character in the integrity of the comedy «The Seagull».
Global Mapping Properties of Some Functions of Class S
Authors: Albişoru Andrei-Florin , Ghişa Dorin
Published: March 2024

The Lemma of Schwarz is one of the most surprising results in complex analysis in the sense that some very weak conditions on an analytic function in the unit disk |z| < 1 imply a very strict behavior of that function in the respective disk. What about the behavior of the function outside the unit disk? This is the question we deal with in this paper. The theory we presented in some previous publications was about univalent functions, not necessarily in the unit disk, but in the most general setting, namely in the fundamental domains of arbitrary analytic functions. Naturally, connections can be expected between the two fields of complex analysis. The purpose of this paper is to explore these connections and take advantage of the well established theory of univalent functions in order to advance the theory of fundamental domains.

Тому вивчення мотивів, встановлення їх зв’язку з конкретним рівнем пізнавальної активності для вибору найбільш ефективних способів і методів розвитку пізнавальної активності обумовлює актуальність даного дослідження. Під час опрацювання статті використовувались методи повязані зі збором інформації, аналізом їх вмісту та синтезом власних міркувань з реалізацією їх у вигляді системних описів та схем, які пояснювали бачення авторів на загальне розуміння зв’язку між мотивацією та пізнавальною активністю. Авторами реалізовано підхід вивчення впливу мотивації на пізнавальну активність здобувачів вищої освіти з психологічного боку, що дозволяє говорити про деякий вид мотивації, який часто називають пізнавальною. Організація пізнавальної мотивації важлива в навчальному процесі ще й тому, що вона не потребує додаткових матеріальних затрат і в той же час відповідає природній допитливості кожної людини. Пізнавальні мотиви можуть легко реалізовуватись на практиці, наприклад, застосуванням пізнавальних відступів на заняттях, залученням ділових ігор, своєрідною побудовою процесу вивчення теми. Рівень пізнавальної активності безпосередньо пов’язані з мотивацією здобувача вищої освіти. Мотивація змістом та можливостями забезпечує простий рівень, мотивація процесом – середній рівень. На креативний рівень учень виходить за мотивації самореалізацією. Оскільки рівні пізнавальної активності пов’язані з мотивацією, то види мотивації також формуються поетапно. Таким чином, мотивація є надзвичайно важливим фактором у загальній схемі як засвоєння інформації конкретним індивідом, так і у роботі адміністративного і професорсько-викладацького складу закладу освіти.

Розгляд текстів-інтерв’ю з точки зору структури, семантики та прагматики є актуальним, оскільки це дозволяє з’ясувати особливості вторинного та гібридного утворення. З погляду загальної теорії тексту дуже важливо розробити модель прототипу тексту-інтерв’ю, яка використовується в сучасній англомовній пресі. Метою даного дослідження є дослідження прототипної моделі тексту-інтерв’ю, щоб визначити дискурсні, структурні, семантичні та прагматичні аспекти тексту-інтерв’ю в сучасній англомовній пресі. У статті розглядається ілокутивна структура основної частини текстів-інтерв’ю. Система мінімальних діалогів є ілюкутивною структурою діалогічного тексту-інтерв’ю. Репліки пов’язуються ілокутивними відносинами в межах мінімального діалогу. Універсальність ілокутивних відносин дозволяє визначити межі та маркери початку та кінця мінімальних діалогів. Текстові інтерв’ю використовуються респондентами для отримання інформації та визначення свого ставлення до повідомлення інтерв’юера. Стратегії, які використовують респонденти, можуть бути конфліктними або неконфліктними. Методи інформування включають пряму відповідь на запитання, випереджувальну відповідь, демонстрацію власної здатності вести бесіду, вказівки на недоречність запитання, посилання на те, що інтерв’юер знає відповідь на його запитання, неповну відповідь, загальну відповідь, зустрічне запитання та ігнорування змісту запитання.

Los pacientes en condición crítica se presentan como individuos vulnerables bajo un contexto de urgencia que conlleva implícito el incremento en el riesgo de complicaciones. La atención prehospitalaria tiene el propósito de reducir el riesgo de mortalidad derivado de complicaciones de la vía aérea. Es por esto que, el manejo prehospitalario de la vía aérea representa un componente fundamental para el servicio de emergencia y resulta en un reto a nivel mundial. Por tanto, se llevó a cabo el presente estudio con la finalidad de determinar el nivel de conocimiento en el manejo de la vía aérea en el paciente crítico en entorno prehospitalario del personal del Cuerpo de Bomberos La Joya de Los Sachas. Se encontró que, el 100% de los participantes pertenecen al sexo masculino, con una media de 40 años de edad y 13 años de experiencia laboral, el 88,9% ha recibido capacitación en el manejo de vía aérea y el 100% de estos ha efectuado tal acción en algún paciente. Pese a ello el nivel de conocimiento resultó bajo, entendiendo que se hace perentoria la implementación de acciones tendientes a subsanar tal realidad problemática.

Las tasas de prevalencia estimadas muestran una variación considerable, con una tendencia creciente en las últimas décadas. A nivel mundial, se estima que la prevalencia de la Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional (DMG) varía en población y etnia del 1% al 14%. Sin embargo, la prevalencia se encuentra influenciada por varios factores de riesgo. Se ha encontrado que la DMG previa, los antecedentes familiares de Diabetes Mellitus 2 (DM 2) y el síndrome de ovario poliquístico pueden aumentar el riesgo de DMG en mujeres embarazadas. La evaluación del riesgo de DMG debe realizarse en la primera visita de atención prenatal y de acuerdo con la mayoría de las pautas clínicas para el tratamiento de la diabetes en el embarazo, el cribado y el diagnóstico de DMG deben realizarse entre las semanas 24 y 28 del embarazo. Objetivo. Determinar los principales factores de riesgo que inciden al desarrollo de la diabetes gestacional en pacientes embarazadas atendidas en el Hospital General de Zona con Medicina Familiar número 02 Salina Cruz, Oaxaca en el periodo de enero a diciembre 2020.

Balance de la Mejora de la Calidad Regulatoria en el Poder Ejecutivo
Authors: Rufino Cumpa Aracelli Yeni
Published: March 2024

El Perú como parte del Sistema de Modernización de la Gestión Pública tiene una finalidad a nivel nacional, garantizar una adecuada prestación de los bienes y servicios, promover la simplificación administrativa y mejorar la calidad en las regulaciones; el presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los avances de la implementación de la mejora de la calidad regulatoria, los retrocesos existentes y los desafíos para su implementación, especialmente en el Poder Ejecutivo. La metodología empleada es básica, descriptiva, cualitativa, no experimental y producto de ello se identificaron normas e instrumentos básicos para la mejora regulatoria y su aplicabilidad en nuestro país; además, representa un aporte importante para la literatura y la academia pues este tema es exiguo en lo que se refiere a estudios, webs oficiales y se carece de trabajos especializados, papers o artículos sobre la materia, que puede ser de mucha utilidad para los operadores de las normas, estudiantes de derecho, del área administrativa o de gestión pública. Se concluye que, mostrar la importancia de la mejora de la calidad regulatoria y su implementación, conocer la opinión de los organismos económicos nacionales e internacionales, la percepción de los microempresarios y el sentir de los administrados respecto a la calidad regulatoria es relevante para la administración pública y la ciudadanía en general, pues permite mostrar un balance a partir de su implementación por parte de las entidades del poder ejecutivo y los desafíos que tienen en su búsqueda por mejorar la regulación, y convertirse en una herramienta clave para la competitividad, el desarrollo económico y el bienestar social de nuestro país.
Eficacia de la instrumentación rotatoria y reciprocante en la preparación biomecánica de conductos radiculares de dientes deciduos
Authors: Cano Valencia Erika Leny
Published: March 2024

La instrumentación manual de los conductos radiculares de dientes primarios se realizaba usualmente, desde tiempos recientes mediante los sistemas rotatorios continuo y reciprocante. Estos fueron introducidos en odontopediatría, con tan buenas propiedades físicas que, permitían una óptima y más rápida preparación biomecánica. Esta revisión de la literatura tuvo como objetivo principal determinar la eficacia de estos sistemas. Para lo cual, se buscó y ubicó artículos potenciales en la base de datos PubMed, Science Direct y Google Académico con las palabras clave (rotary systems AND primary teeth) OR (reciprocant systems AND primary teeth). Se seleccionaron 11 artículos, que respondieron al objetivo general planteado y con 10 años de publicación como mínimo. La instrumentación rotatoria de los conductos generó una conformación cónica buena (disminución gradual del ancho del conducto radicular desde el tercio coronal hasta el tercio apical). La limpieza difiere según los tercios del conducto, mientras que el tiempo de instrumentación fue corto.  La instrumentación reciprocante originó buena conformación cónica del conducto. La limpieza total se evidenció más a nivel coronal.  La velocidad de instrumentación fue más corta en comparación al sistema rotatorio. Concluyendo que, la revisión de la literatura evidencia la eficacia de la instrumentación rotatoria y reciprocante, pero también, se puede concluir en la necesidad de contar con mayor número de investigaciones que respalden el uso de los sistemas rotatorio y reciprocante.
