Tunable Boc Modification of Lignin and Its Impact on Microbial Degradation Rate
Authors: Gu Liuqun , Wang Meifeng , Li Hui , Teh Kai Ni , Li Yiqun , Liu Ye
Published: May 2021

A new type of modified lignin, lignin-p-Boc, was obtained through reaction with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (Boc2O) in aqueous media catalyzed by 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). Boc modification occurred regardless of type of lignin, was tunable, and proceeded well in recovering lignin at high purity from sodium lignosulfonate (a common byproduct from pulping industry; lignin content: 60%). Lignin-p-BOC was demonstrated as a potential reactive filler in green plastic and as a potential crosslinker in design of bioresorbable composite polymeric implants. Furthermore, the effects of the modification on the breakdown rate of alkali lignin by microbes was investigated, and the results showed that the modification substantially decreases the breakdown rate. The tunable Boc modification process was designed via a system thinking, including availability of raw lignin, economical/green modification, potentiality of drop-in-change to current thermoplastic processing, modification impact on microbial degradability/disposed environment at the end of use life; hence the holistic consideration makes this alternative method for upgrade of technical lignins very practical for future industrial application. Via “in-situ” forming “easily breakable covalent bonds” with existing thermopolymers inside, Lignin-p-BOCs are also promising to play an important role as both excellent binders via “random match” and reductants in transforming linear plastic waste into circular plastics.

Authors:   College of Dentistry, Hawler Medical University, Erbil , Iraq, Ziyad Jamil Al-Talabani Shaho
Published: May 2021

Background: Visual cephalometric analysis is a simple, logical, and accurate diagnostic tool for the student, the clinician, and the researcher. The analysis is elicited from two geometric constructs, the Tetragon and the Trigon. Objective: To determine the cephalometric norms as per Fastlicht’s analysis for male and female subjects of the Kurdish population and to compare these cephalometric norms with Fastlicht’s norms, average Caucasian norms, and Iraqi (non-Kurdish) norms. Patients and Methods: The cephalometric radiographs of 63 individuals, 25males, mean age 23.01 ±2.9 years, and 38 females, mean age 23 ± 3.2 years, were selected. FACAD 3.4.0.3, an orthodontic tracing software for cephalometric analysis and treatment planning, was used to digitally trace the reference points and reference lines for the tetragon analysis. Results: The statistical differences between the data of the Iraqi Kurdish population and the data of Fastlich, average Caucasian, and Iraqi non-Kurdish population were significant. Conclusion: The data of the Kurdish population is different from that of Fastlich and non-Kurdish Iraqi data. It is recommended to use this study's findings to get a more accurate result for the Iraqi Kurdish population when using tetragon analysis. Keywords: Tetragon Analysis; Cephalometric; Visual cephalometric analysis

4D Printing with Bio-based Polymers for Adaptive Wearable Devices
Authors: Yejun Fu,
Published: May 2021

Compared to conventional manufacturing processes, 3D printing has proved
its capability of building various structures with high accuracy and
material economy. 4D printing adds the fourth dimension, time, to 3D
printing technology. Changing through time is a key property of products
built by 4D printing. This research focused on bio-based responsive
materials, as a means of initiating change and transforming 3D printing
to 4D printing. A number of studies have been done to develop the
performance of responsive materials or to explore geometric structures
for these materials in order to configure products that can benefit from
this transformation. Precedents in medical field show great potential
for combining bio-based materials with 4D printing in manufacturing
highly customised products that adapt to the shape, movement and
physiological requirements of a human body. This research project was
initiated by the development of printable and responsive bio-based
polymers through the National Science Challenge (NSC) Portfolio 5
Spearhead Project “Additive manufacturing and 3D or 4D printing of
bio-composites”. The research is inspired by the adaptability and
biocompatibility of the medical precedents and explores the possibility
of engaging 4D printing in building wearable devices; exemplified by an
adaptive wrist splint for progressive rehabilitation. This included
researching wound healing processes and related rehabilitation methods
to determine the required functionality of the splint and exploring
relevant biological structures as inspiration for the design geometry.
Working alongside materials scientists, the design was developed along
two paths. Firstly, using the new experimental polymers and testing
their responsiveness to configure a printable shape- shifting layer of
the splint that adapts to changes in the wrist during the healing
process. Secondly, integrating these experiments into 3D models for an
adaptive splint, comprised of three layers, that responds to the
requirements of progressive rehabilitation. The research challenges the
properties of the new materials and the associated printing processes,
and more research will need to be done to improve both printability and
responsive performance. However, the design of the splint provides a
case study for potential applications in the broader field of wearable
devices that incorporate multiple layers of responsive materials and
different geometries that can adapt to the needs of a human body.
People we trust (a novel) and The enemy within: Fictionalising the Marcos regime (a critical study)
Authors:   , Macansantos Monica
Published: May 2021

This PhD thesis comprises two projects. The first is a novel, People We Trust, and the second is a critical study of two representative novels belonging to a genre that the critic Gerald T. Burns has called “Martial Law Literature”, or literature that creatively engages with the Marcos dictatorship.

I begin my critical study by discussing the tradition of resistance literature in the Philippines, tracing this back to Jose Rizal’s Spanish-language novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. I then discuss how the Filipino historical novel developed out of this tradition of resistance writing, and how most, if not all, Filipino novels depict moments in Philippine history in which Filipinos have risen against those who threatened their sovereignty as a people. After the Philippine nation gained its independence, Filipino novelists utilised the genre to take charge of the nation’s narrative, and to continuously engage with the question of national identity. The Martial Law novel occupies a particularly interesting place within this tradition, in that it grapples with the nation’s inability to liberate itself from a legacy of oppression left behind by its colonial rulers as shown in its selection of a repressive, totalitarian ruler from within the national community.
My discussion draws on two novels: Ninotchka Rosca’s State of War, and Gina Apostol’s Gun Dealer’s Daughter. They belong to opposite ends of an era in which Martial Law writing grew and developed: State of War having been published in 1988, two years after the Marcoses fled the Philippines, and Gun Dealer’s

Daughter having been published in 2012. Taken together, they chart what Gerald T. Burns, in his essay “Philippine Martial Law Fiction: Phases in the Early Evolution of the Genre”, calls an “evolution” in Martial Law fiction and its increasing ambivalence towards social commitment and nationalism. Both novels explore the fissures associated with the emergence of the oppressor from within. My analyses correspond with my own novel’s examination of how certain individuals, or societies, are more than willing to relinquish their individual freedoms in favour of what Erich Fromm would call an “escape from freedom”.

The critical component of my thesis engages with postcolonial theory in addition to studies on Martial Law writing, the Philippine historical novel, and Philippine postcoloniality.

REFLECTION OF MUSIC & DANCE IN ANCIENT INDIAN INSCRIPTION
Authors: Sinha Tanusri
Published: May 2021

The word ‘inscription’ is derived from the Latin word ‘Inscripto’ which means something that is inscribed or engraved. It was engraved on clay (terracotta), stone pillars, copper plates, walls of temples, caves, and on the surface of much other metal and also even palm leaves. Very often we’ve seen it on coins and seals. It consists of important texts or symbols that reveal crucial information and evidence of ancient kings and their empires. Music is the soul of Indian culture. Indian music has an affluent tradition with its root in Vedic time. It is said that Indian music owes its origin to the Sāma Veda. The Vedic hymns were chanted with a particular pitch and accent which are used in religious work. Dance in India also has a rich and vital tradition since the beginning of our civilization. Dances of Indi were to give symbolic expressions which are also enlightened to religious ideas.

Muğla Evlerindeki (Merkez Menteşe İlçesi) El Biçimli Kapı Tokmakları
Authors: BAŞAK Oktay
Published: May 2021

Ana konusunu Muğla’nın merkez ilçesi Menteşe’deki evlerin kapılarını süsleyen el şeklindeki tokmakların irdelendiği çalışmada, konunun daha iyi anlaşılması adına, Geleneksel Muğla Evleri’ne de kısaca değinilmeye çalışılmıştır. İlin demografik yapısından kaynaklı bazı evler, eklektik tarzda yapılmış olup kuzulu kapıları, kapı tokmakları, geniş saçakları, tavan işlemeleri ve onlarla özdeşleşen kentin sembolü haline gelmiş bacaları ile Anadolu konut mimarisinde özgün bir yer edinmişlerdir. Büyük çoğunluğu 19.yüzyıl ve sonrasında inşa edilmiş olan bu evler, Türk ve Rum evleri olarak iki başlık altında değerlendirilmektedirler. Anadolu’nun geleneksel konut mimarisinden, özellikle dış cephe anlayışları ve avlu düzenlemeleri açısından bazı farklılıklar gösteren evler, özgün tasarımlarıyla bugün bile inşa edilen ildeki kimi evlere ilham kaynağı olmuşlardır. Tercihlerin farklılaştığı günümüz dünyasında, özellikle yatay mimarinin, dikey mimariye yerini bırakmaya başladığı gibi, geleneksel evlerin kapılarını süsleyen kapı elemanları da değişmeye başlamıştır. Bu değişim ve dönüşümden, en çok eskinin haber verme araçlarından biri olan kapı tokmakları etkilemiştir. Yerlerini, çok farklı ama bir o kadar da ruhsuz yeni araçlara bırakmalarıyla unutulmaya başlayan tokmaklar, kendilerine olan rağbetin azalmasıyla bizzat sahipleri ya da hırsızlar tarafından, ait oldukları yerlerinden sökülerek, koleksiyonerlere veya hurdacılara satıldıklarından sayıları gitgide azalmaya başlamıştır. Anadolu’daki ilk örneklerinin XIX. yüzyıl öncesine gitmediği el şeklindeki tokmakların ele alındığı bu çalışmada, söz konusu olanların çoğu, bir kadının sol eli şeklinde yapılmıştır. Yapım malzemesi seçilebilen tokmaklardan ekseriyetle pirinç, bir kısmının ise tunçtan yapıldığı anlaşılmıştır. Söz konusu eserlerin, batılılaşma dönemi ile birlikte Avrupa’dan ithal edildikleri, sonrasında aşırı rağbet görmeleri üzerine, talebi karşılamak için yerel atölyelerde kalıpları alınarak çoğaltılmış oldukları düşünülmektedir.
"The Sex They Really Need:" Medicalization and Popular Interpretations of Homosexuality in Postwar Canada
Authors: Wawzonek Joseph James
Published: May 2021

With the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall Riots having just past, it is astounding to see the leaps and bounds made by queer historians towards developing an understanding of homophobia in the American postwar period which led up to the riots. While the publicised, state-sanctioned homophobic purges of men and women from public service has been well documented in American history, the equivalent persecution of gay men and lesbians in Canada has gone largely unexamined. Much like other oppressive acts enacted by the Canadian government, the purging of those suspected of homosexuality has been left out of Canada's collective national history. That organisations such as the RCMP and CSIS act as arbiters of archival documentation detailing the means of constructing and detecting the homosexual other only complicates matters further. As such, researchers can be better served through the examination of auxiliary texts, or interviews with those affected by the purges. This paper opts for the former, utilising postwar medical periodicals, popular media publications, and audio recordings of postwar symposiums to unravel the proposed medical basis for state homophobia and demonstrate how scholarly research was appropriated by the press. Through utilising a queer reading of these texts and employing contemporary queer theory, it is revealed that gender anxiety was at the root of the purges and that constructions of homosexual men and women as subversive was the result of self-reinforcing cycles of information misinterpretation.
Harry Elmer Barnes Historical Review and the Effects of Historical Revisionism
Authors: Hilgartner Jacob
Published: May 2021

The growing presence of historical revisionim today that plagues the Historical academic community has its roots in the past works of Historical writers and the steps taken to give greater perspective and context to misinterprated events by modern History writers is often undermined by the continued presence of misinformation and its rapid spread through the public and political sphere. This historical review looks at Harry Elmer Barnes who was a 20th century historical writer and known revisionistand holocaust excuser and sometimes even denier. The way in which prediction but speculative analysis can lead to revisionist talking points will also be examined using his works. A detailed synopsis of his career, examination of his article Europes War and Our Democracy, and his later correspondences will be given in order to show the way in which historical revisionism can effect even those academics held in high esteem within the Historical faculty.

Published: May 2021

In Brazil the hiring of medical physics in radiation therapy (RT) departments is defined by regulatory agencies, considering only the number of patients treated. With the rise of new technologies, treatment techniques become more complex, requiring a greater amount of time and staff qualifications. International organizations solved this problem with a method for assessing personnel levels and determining the quantity of professionals required for a specific RT department. In this work, we adapted this strategy to our clinical reality and derived calculations of the time per task multiplied by the expected number of tasks. The task requirements were described in detail and the amounts of time required to perform each task over a one-year period were determined. The sum of task times were related to a suitable full-time equivalence (FTE), considering a team only of medical physicists. We thus determined that our clinic should have 11 FTE personnel, evidencing a need for hiring. The use of a personnel justification grid enables the demonstration of professional staffing insufficiencies in clinics, a condition that hinders the development of RT departments, including the scope of teaching and research.

Published: May 2021

Changes in liver blood flow and functional status of liver transplants with different types of venous outflow reconstruction have not been fully studied. A graft with optimal blood flow characteristics in a living family donation is one of the key factors that determines its functional state.

The Aim. Comparison of regional hemodynamics of the liver and biochemical parametersof blood after transplantation of the right lobe from a living related donor with and without amedian vein.Materials and methods. Based on our algorithm, which included analysis of the variational anatomy of the hepatic veins of the donor to determine the type of dominant vein, transplants were selected for 76 recipients: 39 patients (group 1) were transplanted right lobe of the middle vein and 37 patients (group 2) – right lobe without meddle vein. For comparative analysis, we used data from blood biochemical parameters and data from regional hemodynamics of grafts: volumetric portal blood flow, linear velocity and resistance index in the hepatic artery in both groups during the first week and on the 10th, 14th, 21st, 30th day after transplantation.Results. Using the described graft selection algorithm, we obtained the following results on the 30th day after transplantation: in group 1 there were higher values of volumetric portal blood flow compared to group 2 at all stages of observation (1110 ± 62 ml/min and 922 ± 41 ml/min, p = 0,013864 in groups 1 and 2, respectively); the resistance index in the hepatic artery was statistically significantly higher in group 2 – 0.61 ± 0.01 compared with group 1 (0.63 ± 0.01, p = 0.042722); serum bilirubin level in group 1 was statistically significantly lower compared to group 2 (33.4 ± 9 and 39.8 ± 3.4 μmol/l, respectively, p = 0.0377); serum transaminases, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, were statistically significantly lower in group 1 compared with group 2 – alanine aminotransferase – 50 ± 3.3 and 78.6 ± 8.2 U/l, respectively (p = 0.0022), aspartate aminotransferase – 42 ± 2.9 and 62.4 ± 8.9 U/l, respectively (p = 0.0282)).Conclusions. With the dominant type of middle hepatic vein in transplants of the right lobe, it is necessary to perform the right lobe of the liver with the middle vein. If the right vein is dominant – the right lobe of the liver without the inclusion of the middle vein. Adequate venous outflow, with a sufficient volume of the graft of the right lobe of the liver, determines the functional mass of the graft.

Transplantation technologies are now highly effective modern methods of medical care for patients with irreversible stage of chronic diseases of vital organs. The success of transplantology allowed to start solving the problems of improving the quality of patients’ life who live with transplanted organ, their adaptation to society, return to work, to authentic family relationships.

The aim of the study is to perform analysis of modern literary sources related to the prospects of application of artificial organs structures bioprinting 3D technology.The shortage of donor organs for transplantation, the high cost of traditional transplantation and the problem of immunocompatibility of donor tissues led to the search for alternative, cost-effective and efficient organ replacement technologies. There are different methods of making 3D structures, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. The technology is selected depending on the properties of the material, the desired characteristics of the finished structure and its application. To date, bioprinters are able to print bone and cartilage implants quickly enough.

Thus, 3D bioprinting is now becoming a real breakthrough in regenerative medicine. Every day there are more and more different techniques to improve this technology.
Analysis of the stages of psychological preparation of transplant coordinators (as part of the implementation of the bulk program)
Authors: Poplavskaya A. P.
Published: May 2021

This article presents an analysis of the stages of psychological training of future transplant coordinators within the framework of the implementation of the first ZMAPO Transplant Coordinator Program. The introduction of the newly developed program for the training of future transplant coordinators has reflected some of the complexities of the psychological and pedagogical process: first, a lack of purely psychological knowledge and skills, certain problems of mastering new theoretical material, certain difficulties in overcoming barriers to communication. But all this was offset by a desire to get new interesting information, a desire to learn something new, and to develop skills for direct dialogue with potential donors and their relatives.

The article presents the results of the investigation of the influence of natural and mechanical ventilation in a passenger compartment and in a driver's compartment on the air flow around the bus. The experimental research was carried out in aerodynamic tunnels. Based on the measurements, the air velocities distribution in the boundary layer was determined. Furthermore, the effect of natural ventilation of the interior space on the thickness of the air boundary layer was analysed. The results are presented in the form of distribution diagram and analytical dependencies. The aim of this research was to define the thickness of the boundary layer when the air flows through a vehicle model.
Investigation of Open Circuit Potential of Lithium-Ion Battery by The Taguchi Design
Authors: MORALI Uğur
Published: May 2021

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electric vehicles. A robust battery management system is a very important issue for lithium-ion batteries due to the safety of electric vehicles. In this study, simultaneous main influences of charg-ing factors on open circuit potential were statistically determined by using the Taguchi design. The response table and variance analysis were performed to de-termine the significant charging factors on a lithium-ion battery. The results showed that the battery potential was the most influential charging factor to the open circuit potential. Furthermore, the statistically significant correlation be-tween each charging factor and open circuit potential was determined based on a 95% significance level. The interactions between charging factors were demon-strated by the non-parallel lines presented on the interaction plots. The findings can guide the battery management and control methods for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles.
The Egyptian Phonetic Change between "n" and "i"
Authors: Bojowald Stefan
Published: May 2021

This study deals with the Egyptian phonetic change between "n" and "i". The phenomenon has been known for half a century. Its first detailed investigation appeared in the grammar of Egyptian medical texts by Westendorf from the year 1962. In there, the phenomenon could be demonstrated in seven cases. The present contribution continues work on this topic, significantly increasing the number of examples. The material consists of writings of individual words on the one side and plays on words on the other. The period of the examples went from the Old Kingdom to the Graeco-Roman Period. In the course of the investigation, twenty two new examples could be collected. The phonetic change takes place from "n" to "i" and "i" to "n". Keywords: Egyptian philology, Egyptian phonology, phonetic change between "n" and "i"
The Structural Features of Code-Switches in the Modern British Novels
Authors: Gunko Lyudmila
Published: May 2021

The author examines the structural features of code-switches in two novels - "The Corsican Caper" and "Chasing Sezanne" written by the modern British writer Peter Mayle. The matrix language of multilingual utterances is English and the embedded language is French. Code-switches are the alternate use of units of one language within the utterance in another language during one conversation. Two groups of code-switches are distinguished: those in the bilingual characters’ speech and those in the author’s speech. Peter Mayle has used different types of code-switches to emphasize their bilingual competence when they switch from English to French in various communicative situations. Different types of code-switches have been fixed: intersententional, intrasententional - within a phrase (insertions, embedded language islands), clause-switches, and tag-switches. The author of the article has found out 434 units of code-switches in the two novels, with 258 units being represented in the author’s speech and 176 units in the bilingual characters’ speech. The study has shown that the most frequently used type in the bilingual characters’ speech and in the author’s speech is intrasententional within a simple sentence, with embedded language islands being predominant. Keywords: code-switches, bilingualism in fiction, bilingual speech, matrix language, embedded language
