Authors: Poliak Miloš , Čulík Kristián , Hajduk Iwona , Kubanova Jaroslava
Published: May 2023

The European Union has an ambition to achieve zero road deaths by 2050. It is an ambitious target, but not an unachievable one. The installation of a front brake light, which provides information to other road users that the vehicle is braking, can help to achieve this goal. Today, this information is available to road users who can see the rear of the vehicle. Because the brake lights are located at the rear of the vehicle. The information that the vehicle is braking is also important when looking at the front of the vehicle. Whether it is other drivers or other road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. The aim of this paper is to conduct a research among professional road transport drivers what their opinion is about the front brake light. From their opinion, we will conclude whether such light has the potential to improve road safety or not.

Authors: Janitra Fitria Endah , Aini Nur , Wicaksana Anggi Lukman
Published: May 2023

Background: Breast cancer-related adversity can result in severe psychological issues. However, some patients were able to demonstrate resilience, while others were not. Therefore, the concept of resilience in breast cancer patients requires further clarification.Purpose: This study aimed to systematically analyze resilience in patients with breast cancer, its attributes, antecedents, consequences, and empirical referents.Methods: This concept analysis used the Walker and Avant method. CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane, and Medline-OVID databases were explored using the keywords ‘resilience*’ and ‘breast cancer’. Papers discussing resilience among breast cancer patients were used as criteria for inclusion. The analysis focused on the redefinition of resilience-related breast cancer by identifying attributes, antecedents, and consequences.Results: A total of 53 studies were analyzed to construct resilience among breast cancer patients. The analysis identified that resilience in breast cancer patients has three defining attributes: coping, optimism, and social support. The antecedents were body image after mastectomy, symptom distress, cancer-related stigma, and fear of cancer recurrence, while the consequences included recorded as the quality of life and post-traumatic growth.Conclusion: Critical characteristics of resilience in breast cancer patients were coping, optimism, and social support. Thus, improving those characteristics might improve the quality of life and post-traumatic growth.

Authors: Alaseeri Rana , Baker Omar Ghazi , Banakhar Maram
Published: May 2023

Background: Nurses in many countries face a high prevalence of psychological pressure while caring for COVID-19 patients. Several determinants of emotional exhaustion leading to occupational burnout risk were documented. However, a recent review examining nurses’ emotional exhaustion during the COVID-19 pandemic is lacking in nursing literature.Purpose: This review aimed to examine the prevalence of nurses’ emotional exhaustion during the COVID-19 pandemic. This review also describes the organizational contributing factors to nurses’ emotional exhaustion.Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature following the PRISMA guidelines was conducted in March 2022. Four databases, including PubMed, ProQuest Platform, Wiley, and Google Scholar, were searched from 1 January 2020 to 28 February 2022. The prevalence of nurses’ emotional exhaustion (EE) was pooled using random effect meta‐analyses. The quality appraisal of the studies was done using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. Data analysis utilized a random effect model to evaluate the pooled effects of the studies due to the high heterogeneity between results.Results: Nine studies were included with a total number of 16,810 subjects surveyed, of whom, 8,150 (48.50%) met the criteria for emotional exhaustion. Based on the standard effect model, the pooled estimate for EE prevalence was 48.9% (95% CI:48.1% to 49.6%). Several organizational factors contributing to nurses’ emotional exhaustion included working in critical care units or isolation wards, longer working hours in COVID-19 quarantine units, night shifts, working with confirmed or suspected co-workers, monthly salary income, and inadequate hospital resources.Conclusion: This review found that nurses were suffering from high to moderate emotional exhaustion levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, several organizational factors influence this emotional exhaustion. These findings highlight the necessity for urgent interventions to decrease psychological impacts on frontline nurses.

Authors: Seniwati Tuti , Wanda Dessie , Nurhaeni Nani
Published: May 2023

Background: Patient and family-centered care is one approach that is applied in pediatric care in various hospital settings to improve the quality of care. However, information related to the results of the entire study and its intervention model has not been identified effectively in child health care.Purpose: This study aimed to describe and assess the effects of patient and family-centered care on the quality of care in pediatric patients.Methods: A systematic review was used as a method in this study. Seven databases were used, including ScienceDirect, Scopus, ProQuest, EBSCO, Sage Journal, Tailor and Francis, and PubMed to search the literature for relevant published reviews that determined patient and family-centered care interventions between 2011 and 2021. The synthesis without meta-analysis guidelines was used to analyze the data in this review. The data were further analyzed by critically assessing the quality of the articles using the JBI and CASP checklists.Results: From a total of 29.780 articles identified, fifteen articles were included in this review. Several models of patient and family-centered care interventions were identified, such as family-centered care, family-centered communication program, family-integrated care, family nurture intervention, family empowerment, parent participation, close collaboration, mother-nurse partnership program, and the newborn individualized developmental care and assessment program. From those models, the outcomes for quality of care were related to the pediatric quality of life, length of stay, patient safety, parent satisfaction, parent psychological response, and parent involvement and partnership with staff.Conclusion: The shreds of evidence indicate that patient and family-centered care can improve the quality of care in the pediatric patients. It is recommended that patient and family-centered care can be implemented in pediatric care by increasing the participation of family during treatment.

Authors: Mailani Fitri , Huriani Emil , Muthia Rahmi , Rahmiwati Rahmiwati
Published: May 2023

Background: The latest approach to managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves the implementation of self-management methods. Nonetheless, numerous previous studies indicate that self-management behaviors remain inadequate among hemodialysis patients in Indonesia. Therefore, a deeper comprehension of the factors that affect a patient’s self-management should be studied.Purpose: This study aimed to examine self-management among CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis and its relating factors.Methods: The study used a cross-sectional approach. A convenience sample of 164 patients undergoing hemodialysis determined using a table of power analysis was recruited from two hemodialysis centers in Padang, Indonesia, from May to July 2022. Hemodialysis self-management instrument-18 (HDSMI-18), the scale of self-efficacy for chronic diseases, and the hemodialysis knowledge questionnaire were used as the instruments. T-tests, ANOVA, Spearman correlation test, and multiple linear regression were used to analyse the data.Results: Self-management, knowledge, and self-efficacy mean scores were 48.62(8.45), 17.77(2.96), and 43.05(10.08), respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between self-management with education (p=0.000), employment status (p=0.025), monthly income (p=0.003), knowledge (p=0.000), and self-efficacy (p=0.004). Multiple linear regression analyses for overall self-management indicated that knowledge and education were the main influencing factors of self-management.Conclusion: Hemodialysis patients had a subpar degree of self-management. Furthermore, knowledge and education were the most significant influencing factors of self-management. Nurses are expected to be able to provide structured education to increase patient knowledge which will later yield good self-management.
How do Adult Protective Statutes Relate to Older Americans Seeking Insurance Advice?
Authors: Campbell Benjamin Steele , Kalenkoski Charlene , Lauderdale Mitzi
Published: May 2023

In the United States, no two states are completely alike in how they govern their citizenry or regulate commerce within their borders. These differences may be used to examine the effects of various laws by contrasting the differences in the way each state attempts to resolve a perceived problem and the resulting outcome. The following paper examines the relationship between consumer behavior and statutory solutions enacted to combat the problems of elder abuse, specifically financial exploitation. The statutory solutions are Adult Protective (AP) statutes. This paper focuses on AP statutes and their relationship to insurance advice seeking by older Americans. This paper finds that in under some circumstances insurance advice seeking behavior is related to the ways in which a state chooses to protect its elderly citizens from unscrupulous acts of persons or businesses. This article may serve as an opportunity for ethical professionals in financial services to understand how greater levels of regulation can result in opportunities for growth.
Pakistan’s Intractable Corruption Provides Terror Groups Agency
Authors: Gabbay Shaul M.
Published: May 2023

This paper discusses the challenges faced by Pakistan, a country in South Asia, with a focus on corruption as a major contributor to the ongoing instability, particularly in relation to terrorism. Corruption has created conditions that are conducive to terrorism by creating economic and political instability, weakening the rule of law, and undermining the legitimacy of government institutions. Terrorist groups, including the Taliban, TTP, and LeT, exploit public frustration to recruit vulnerable individuals, offer financial incentives, and social services. Corruption has led to a lack of accountability, lack of resources, and a breakdown of trust between the government and the people. Furthermore, corruption has contributed to the high turnover of government leadership in Pakistan. The paper also looks at the historical lack of public trust in Pakistan's government, marked by military coups, political instability, and economic challenges. The paper concludes that unless the issue of corruption is addressed, Pakistan will continue to face significant challenges that undermine its social, political, and economic landscape.
Investigating Mathematical Modeling Problem Designing Process of Inservice Mathematics Teachers
Authors: ŞAHİN Seda , GÜRBÜZ Ramazan , DOĞAN Muhammed Fatih
Published: May 2023

In this study, the mathematical modeling process of in-service middle school mathematics teachers who participated in a mathematical modeling workshop within the scope of a professional development program were examined. This study is a multi-case study with the participation of six teachers (two women; four men) and investigates how teachers handled the theoretical knowledge gained during the mathematical modeling workshop in the problem designing process. The data consists of problems designed by teachers and individual interviews. The findings show that teachers were generally successful in transferring their theoretical knowledge to the problem designing process, but had some difficulties. Besides, it can be said that they overcame these difficulties in the process and obtained the problem designing competence that is suitable for the mathematical modeling criteria. The results show that implementation has an important role in the development of a modeling point of view just like theory and that the balance of theory and application should be established in modeling education.
Validity and Reliability Study of School Principals’ Competence-Based Job Performance Perceptions Scale
Authors: ÇAMUR Hamiyet , GOGUS Aytac
Published: May 2023

This study aimed to develop a measurement tool to determine the job performance perceptions of school principals based on their own competence. The list of School Principals Standards developed for the study of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD] has been used in many OECD countries but has not been used in Turkey and there is no study adapted to the Turkish Education System. In addition, since the list of School Principals Standards is not in a questionnaire or a scale form, and there is no scale that examines the school principals’ own perceptions of their performance based on their competencies, therefore the development of such a scale is aimed in this study. First, the list of School Principals Standards was adapted to Turkey, and then the items of the scale to be developed were written by taking expert opinions. The scale development was carried out with a process consisting of eight stages, and the suitable scale for the Turkish Education System was developed. The scale called “School Principals’ Competency-Based Job Performance Perceptions Scale” firstly was administered to 182 participants for the validity, reliability, and Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) of the scale, and then secondly administered to other 145 participants for the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). It was determined that the reliability level of the scale was high with the Cronbach α (0.959) coefficient. As a result of the EFA, a six-dimensional scale consisting of 41 items was obtained. The variance explanation rate of six factors was calculated as 59.66%. It has been determined that the goodness of fit values for the model determined as a result of the CFA performed to test the construct validity of the factor structure obtained provide good and sufficient criteria. The results obtained prove that the scale is valid and reliable.
A Retrospective Phenomenological Study on the Language Challenges Faced by Turkish Graduate Students at U.S. Universities
Authors: TUTAR Huseyin
Published: May 2023

Turkey has always been among the top European countries that have sent the highest number of students to the U.S. This study aims to investigate the language incompetency and language-related challenges faced by Turkish graduate students studying at US universities with scholarship status. For this purpose, the phenomenological research method was used, and 13 participants were selected for the sample. After the interviews, the findings were coded, classified as themes, and evaluated. The study findings show that the students have speaking and listening problems, have difficulty understanding different accents, and have problems understanding concepts related to their studies' field in their departments. Learning English through exam-oriented strategy, unrealistic expectations of the students about learning English in the U.S., and the lack of social environment where the students can be exposed to English in Turkey have been identified as the main themes leading the students to experience language incompetency in their departments. The findings also show that it is not sufficient to overcome the language deficiency of the students due to the time restriction of language education abroad. Also, the pedagogy of the U.S. educational system and cultural barriers have emerged as other areas of challenge that intersect with language inadequacy. The students selected through competitive exams throughout Turkey are expected to have high self-confidence. However, it has been determined that the students experience a loss of self-confidence, especially in their first two semesters, due to language inadequacy and pedagogical and cultural differences. The findings of this study provide information to English education centers, Turkish Scholarship Program, students, counselors, and advisors in Turkey and the US.
Simulations of fractional time-derivative against proportional time-delay for solving and investigating the generalized perturbed-KdV equation
Authors: Alquran Marwan , Ali Mohammed , Al-Khaled Kamel , Grossman George
Published: May 2023

In this study, the Caputo-type fractional time-derivative is simulated by inserting a proportional time-delay into the field function of the perturbed-KdV equation. Two effective methods have been adapted to obtain analytical solutions for this model. Then, independently, the effect of the fractional derivative and the proportional delay on the topological shape of the pKdV propagation was extrapolated. The significant conclusions of the current article reveal that the fractional derivative plays the same role as the presence of a proportional delay in the time coordinate if it is assigned as a substitute for it. With this, from a practical mathematical point of view, we have provided one of the geometric explanations of the fractional derivative. Finally, via the obtained approximate solution, we studied the impact of the perturbed coefficient on propagating the waves of the proposed KdV model.

CRISPR-Cas- and Aptamer-based Systems for Diagnosing Pathogens: A Review
Authors: Yu Helin , Jing Wenwen , Cheng Xunjia
Published: May 2023

Pathogenic infections cause severe clinical illnesses in humans and animals. Increased encounters between humans and animals and constant environmental changes exacerbate the transmission of zoonotic infectious diseases. Recently, the World Health Organization has declared some zoonotic epidemics as public health emergencies of international concern. Hence, rapid and accurate detection of the causative pathogen is particularly essential in combating emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Traditional pathogen detection tools are time-consuming, costly, and require skilled personnel, which greatly hinder the development of rapid diagnostic tests, particularly in resource-constrained regions. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR-)-Cas- and aptamer-based platforms have replaced traditional pathogen detection methods. Herein we review two novel next-generation core pathogen detection platforms that are utilized for clinical and foodborne pathogenic microorganisms: CRISPR-Cas-based systems, including dCas9, Cas12a/b, Cas13, and Cas14; and aptamer-based biosensor detection tools. We highlight CRISPR-Cas- and aptamer-based techniques and compare the strengths and weaknesses. CRISPR-Cas-based tools require cumbersome procedures, such as nucleic acid amplification and extraction, while aptamer-based tools require improved sensitivity. We review the combination of CRISPR-Cas- and aptamer-based techniques as a promising approach to overcome these deficiencies. Finally, we discuss Cas14-based tools as functionally stronger platforms for the detection of non-nucleic acid targets.
(Why) Do Big Five Personality Traits Moderate Evaluative Conditioning? The Role of US Extremity and Pairing Memory
Authors: Ingendahl Moritz , Vogel Tobias
Published: May 2023

Evaluative conditioning (EC), the change in liking towards a stimulus due to its co-occurrence with another stimulus, is a key effect in social and cognitive psychology. Despite its prominence, research on personality differences in EC has been scarce. First research found stronger EC among individuals high in Neuroticism and Agreeableness. However, it remains unclear how robust these moderations are and why they occur. In a high-powered preregistered EC experiment with a heterogeneous sample (N = 511), we found a robust moderation by Agreeableness. Individuals high in Agreeableness also showed more extreme evaluations of the unconditioned stimuli (USs) and more accurate memory for the stimulus pairings, which both in combination accounted for the moderation by Agreeableness. The moderation by Neuroticism was considerably weaker and depended on the type of analysis, but was independent of US evaluations and pairing memory. Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Openness did not moderate EC. Our findings imply that Agreeableness-based personality differences in EC reflect differences in the affective and cognitive processes presumed in current propositional and memory-based EC theories. Furthermore, they offer important insights into the Big Five and interindividual differences in stimulus evaluation, memory, and learning.

The purpose of this study was to examine and find out how the implementation of the concept of multiple intelligences learning at SMP Bayt Al-Hikmah Pasuruan, which is a pesantren-based school. The type of research used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document review. The data that has been collected was analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. The results of this research are: (1) education based on multiple intelligences is relevant to be applied in Islamic education, both micro, and macro. Islam has the concept of fitrah in terms of developing human potential, one of which is the multiple intelligences learning methods. (2) The implementation of learning consists of three important stages, namely: Student input; The amount received according to the class capacity and available rooms, then Multiple Intelligences Research (MIR) is held. Teacher input; the main requirement is that they are willing to continue learning and are committed, written tests, practice (micro-teaching), and interviews are carried out. Learning process; The teacher prepares a lesson plan based on the results of the MIR and SOP, implements a multiple intelligences strategy based on how the brain works, and evaluates/assesses student competencies, accompanied by a consultant "Guardian Angel. Student output. Student competencies include cognitive, psychomotor, and effective, which are assessed based on authentic assessments. Teacher outputs; Teacher competence is assessed based on 4 components (student learning outcomes, lesson plans, creativity, and teacher behavior). (3) the learning process in the Diniyyah program at the Bayt Al-Hikmah Islamic Boarding School although it is still traditional, it has developed the talents and interests of students according to the interests of the students, even though it has not implemented multiple intelligences thoroughly and is less structured. (4) The policy of independent learning has led to the concept of education that humanizes humans. Students are no longer seen as individuals whose learning development for several years is only measured by a series of standardized tests that do not measure up to a higher level of thinking. All children have the right to go to school regardless of such aspects of living standards because all children are seen as equal, namely individuals who will be directed by teachers to be able to develop optimally towards maturity.

Published: May 2023

The short story as a literary work has been ubiquitously used to teach language and literature. However, not all short stories are appropriate and suitable to be used in the language-learning classroom. One of the aspects that should be considered in choosing short stories to teach language and literature is the readability level. The matching of appropriate text difficulty level to the readers’ reading ability is crucial to inculcate an interest in reading and elicit comprehension. Derived from this rationale, this study aimed to investigate the readability level of short stories used in the Introduction to Educational English Literature Course (IEEL). Moreover, this study also attempted to analyse the students’ perceptions of the short stories assigned to them to read in the IEEL course. In measuring the readability level, document analysis utilizing the Flesch-Kincaid Readability Formula was employed. To strengthen the data and ensure triangulation, 5 participants were purposely selected to be interviewed to explore their perspectives after reading those short stories. The results showed that 3 short stories namely The Birthday Party, The Dead Men’s Path, and Turning Thirty were categorized as standard (63.1), fairly easy (74.4), and easy level (83.7) respectively. Lastly, further inquiries through semi-structured interviews found that the 5 participants were reported to have positive viewpoints after reading those short stories.

This study emphasizes more on the type of field research (field research) and is qualitative in nature, with data collection methods in the form of interviews, observation, and documentation. Based on the findings of this study, MI Nahdlatus Shibyan Ngemplak and MI Maslakhul Falah Glagahwaru used a blended learning approach to respond to mass learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the COVID-19 emergency curriculum, the concept of blended learning has been implemented in the two madrasas since the 2020–2021 school year. The blended learning model in madrasas is divided into two stages, namely planning and implementation. This program follows the syntax of the blended learning model, which includes information search, acquisition, and synthesis in online or face-to-face learning. The function of the teacher as a mediator for the ongoing teaching and learning activities cannot be separated from the successful application of the blended learning paradigm. Classroom management, management of learning activities, and learning techniques are examples of tactics that must be planned. In implementing the blended learning model, there are obstacles, including in terms of buildings and infrastructure, facilities, and parental support.

Authors: Tika Ade , Fithriani Rahmah
Published: May 2023

This study aims at investigating how different cultures are depicted in textbooks. The textbooks were selected by examining their reference to Inner, Outer, and Expanding Circle countries, including cultural themes which represent these countries. This study’s data corpus consisted of two EFL Primary textbooks, Hang Out 4 and Hang Out 5. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis as the research design, this study adopted two frameworks to analyze the data: Kachru’s (1986) Concentric Circles to categorize the cultural contexts and Pfister and Borzelli’s (1977) categorization to identify the cultural aspects represented. The findings revealed that the cultural representation in the textbooks reflected significant diversity. Particularly within the inner circle, the United States was the nation whose culture was best represented. While in outer and expanding circles, East Asian countries were dominant and included all five categories. However, Indonesia as the source culture has little reference in this textbook.

Published: May 2023

This research aims to discover the portrayal of controversy, the environmental impact, and the prevention of overfishing in the documentary Seaspiracy. This research uses a qualitative description method from a semiotic perspective. Until now, the research has been discussed on overfishing on fisherman's income and analysis of the law's review of overfishing, but the research of controversy of overfishing portrays no study has explored to use of semiotic perception. Semiotics is a science that examines signs. In interpreting signs, the researchers use Charles Sanders Pierce's semiotic analysis. This model is famous for its triangle of meaning: the sign, object, and interpretant. The result of this research is that there are elements of a sign portraying the controversy of overfishing: Bycatch, the Fishing Industry, the Statement: "Stop Eating Marine Animals," and Marine Stewards Council (MSC) certification. The four controversial portrayals will be deep to analyze from a semantics perspective to produce a significant meaning based on the scene that appeared in the documentary movie itself.

Authors: Barophon Rizqina
Published: May 2023

In an attempt to carry out a rather long been disregarded genre-based topic despite its emerging benefits in facilitating English academic teaching, this study is dedicated to divulging verbal expressions embodying the move structure of English Teaching Videos from different YouTube channels. The study enabled a type of research innate to the nature of qualitative research, which is content analysis. The investigated data were ten different YouTube videos that originated nationally and internationally. The frameworks used to tailor the research instrument (observational sheet) here is one from Chang and Huang (2015) regarding the move structure of inspirational YouTube content. The result displayed that the utterances in the entire dataset fulfilled most of Chang and Huang’s moves. Specifically, the move structure in national and international English teaching videos transpired in assorted utterances from the data. The chief notion drawn from this research is the idea that the whole data have a malleable yet archetypal move structure that characterized them as English teaching YouTube videos.

The participant in this study was an English teacher who also held the position of vice principal, and the researchers investigated the complications involved in the construction of a teacher's identity for a teacher of English in Indonesia, representing the expanding number of English instructors. This study used an integrated perspective to investigate the development of English teacher identities, drawing insights from Barcelos' (2015) theory of the relationship between teacher beliefs, teacher identity, and teacher emotions. The approach of narrative inquiry was utilized for the analysis of the data. By conducting an exploration of the life histories of the participant who had learned English and gone on to become an English teacher, this study was able to capture the dynamics of how the fundamental beliefs and feelings of the focused participant interacted with one another and formed the identity of the teacher. This was accomplished by focusing on how the participants had learned English and gone on to become English teachers. To reach this goal, the life stories of individuals who had previously studied English and gone on to become English instructors were investigated.
The third compartment of the knee: an update from diagnosis to treatment
Authors: Barrett David , Brivio Angela
Published: May 2023

The anterior part (third space) of the knee appears important in the soft tissue functional outcome following knee replacement surgery.

Native patellofemoral kinematics are complex and variable, and further understanding has led to prosthetic redesign.

Attention to soft tissue tension anteriorly (balancing the third space) during knee replacement may maximise post-operative function and avoid issues with understuffing and overstuffing.

Patellofemoral compression forces may now be measured dynamically during knee replacement, allowing an objective approach to balancing the third space.
Making the diagnosis in prosthetic joint infection: a European view
Authors: McNally Martin , Sigmund Irene , Hotchen Andrew , Sousa Ricardo
Published: May 2023

Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) can be difficult to diagnose.

Studies have shown that we are missing many infections, possibly due to poor diagnostic workup and the presence of culture-negative infection.

PJI diagnosis requires a methodical approach and a standardised set of criteria.

Multiple PJI definitions have been published with improved accuracy in recent years.

The new European Bone and Joint Infection Society definition offers some advantages in clinical practice. It identifies more clinically important infections and accurately defines those with the highest risk of treatment failure. It reduces the number of patients with uncertain diagnoses.

Classification of PJIs may offer a better understanding of treatment outcomes and risk factors for failure.

Satisfactory results in terms of functional and oncological outcomes can be obtained in sacral and pelvic malignant bone tumors.

Preoperative planning, adequate imaging, and a multidisciplinary approach are needed.

3D-printed prostheses have to fulfill several requirements: (i) mechanical stability, (ii) biocompatibility, (iii) implantability, and (iv) diagnostic compatibility.

In this review, we highlight current standards in the use of 3D-printed technology for sacropelvic reconstruction.
Best practice in digital orthopaedics

Published: May 2023

Digitization in orthopaedics and traumatology is an enormously fast-evolving field with numerous players and stakeholders. It will be of utmost importance that the different groups of technologists, users, patients, and actors in the healthcare systems learn to communicate in a language with a common basis.

Understanding the requirements of technologies, the potentials of digital application, their interplay, and the combined aim to improve health of patients, would lead to an extraordinary chance to improve health care.

Patients' expectations and surgeons’ capacities to use digital technologies must be transparent and accepted by both sides.

The management of big data needs tremendous care as well as concepts for the ethics in handling data and technologies have to be established while also considering the impact of withholding or delaying benefits thereof.

This review focuses on the available technologies such as Apps, wearables, robotics, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, smart implants, and telemedicine.

It will be necessary to closely follow the future developments and carefully pay attention to ethical aspects and transparency.
The Investigation of the Discrete Universality of L-Functions of Elliptic Curves
Authors: Zakaitė Samanta , Garbaliauskas Antanas
Published: May 2023

In the paper, we prove the discrete universality theorem in the sense of the weak convergence of probability measures in the space of analytic functions for the L-functions of elliptic curves. We consider an approximation of analytic functions by translations LE (s+imh) , where h > 0 is a fixed number, the translations of the imaginary part of the complex variable take values from some discrete set such as arithmetical progression. We suppose that the number h > 0 is chosen so that exp{2πk/h } is an rational number for some non-zero integer. The proof of discrete universality of the derivatives of L-functions of elliptic curves is based on a limit theorem in the sense of weak convergence of probability measures in the space of analytic functions.

Published: May 2023

У статті наголошено, що в процесі повоєнного відновлення економіки та в контексті вимог Європейського зеленого курсу щодо досягнення вуглецевої нейтральності металургія України має унікальну можливість не лише подолати технічне відставання за енергоефективністю та екологічною безпекою, а й позбутися неефективної технологічної структури з фізично зношеними і морально застарілими основними фондами. Рішення полягає у переході до малих металургійних заводів і стратегії мінімізації економічних та екологічних витрат.
