Efficiency and Emissions of Electric and Hydrogen Light- and
Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Authors: Wade Wallace R.
Published: June 2024

Life cycle analyses suggest that electric vehicles are more efficient than
gasoline internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). Although the latest
available data reveal that electric vehicle (EV) life cycle operational
efficiency is only 17% (3 percentage points) higher than a gasoline ICEV,
overall life cycle efficiencies including manufacturing for EVs are 2 percentage
points lower than for ICEVs. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of EVs are only 4%
lower than ICEVs, but criteria emissions of NOx and PM are
approaching or exceeding two times those of gasoline ICEVs. Significant
reductions in electric grid emissions are required to realize EV’s anticipated
emission benefits. In contrast, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have over 70%
higher efficiency and 28% lower GHG emissions than today’s EVs. For heavy-duty
trucks using today’s gray hydrogen, produced by steam–methane
reforming, overall life cycle efficiencies of ICEs and fuel cells are 63% higher
than electric powertrains using today’s electric grid, but 25% lower than
diesel-fueled ICEs. GHG emissions of ICEs and fuel cells using
gray hydrogen are 34% lower than electric powertrains using
today’s grid, but are over 50% higher than diesel-fueled ICEs. Only 1% of
today’s hydrogen is green, derived by electrolysis using
renewable energy. Using green hydrogen, life cycle efficiencies
of ICEs or fuel cells are 36% lower than with gray hydrogen.
GHG emissions of green hydrogen-fueled ICE or fuel cell
powertrains, although reduced by 69% relative to gray hydrogen,
are nearly twice those of an electric powertrain using renewable
electricity.
Social Aspects of Groundwater Use and Management in the Wa West District
Authors: Bukari Francis Issahaku Malongza , Authur Dominic Degraft , Zachary Pealore
Published: June 2024

Despite the relevance of groundwater to the rural safe drinking water needs, inadequate description of its distinctive social aspects in the policy documents and empirical literature makes it difficult to assess its specific contribution towards the achievement of policy targets. This paper used a mixed research design to assess the social characterisation of groundwater in the Wa West District of the Upper West Region of Ghana. Findings indicated that boreholes and dug wells constituted the major forms of water infrastructure in the study communities. There is an implicit stakeholder framework for the governance and management of groundwater but hardly noticed, as they do not deliberately separate groundwater from surface water governance. Accessibility and affordability were close to meeting policy and standard expectations on average, but quantity of groundwater use fell below the acceptable level attributable to factors such as household size and water storage container size among others. Socio-cultural factors such as whether or not, the construction of graves and pit latrines met regulated standards and the associated impacts on groundwater security. This study recommended the education of communities and promotion of community participation as strategies of addressing any identified challenges of groundwater management.
Spatio-Temporal Mapping of Land Use/Cover and Population Change in a Biosphere Reserve: The Case of Lake Bosomtwe Basin in Ashanti Region, Ghana
Authors: Allotey Albert Nii-Moe , Annor John , Kofie Richard Yao , Nortsu Oliver
Published: June 2024

This paper examined land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics over 34 years in the Bosomtwe biosphere vis-à-vis population trends within a buffer of 5km using an integrated remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) approach to assess the changes in the land use and land cover. Supervised classification and post-classification change detection technique in GIS was applied to three multi-temporal Landsat images (1986, 2007, and 2020). The date selection was informed by the availability of Landsat imagery with limited cloud cover. The analysis showed that the built-up category recorded the highest percentage change (260.2%) with an annual rate of 7.7%. Forest cover recorded a loss of 66.3% of area coverage with an increase in farmland from 50.8% in 1986 to 68.5% in 2020. Besides, Lake Bosomtwe was contracted by 0.76 km2 over the period under review. There was a strong positive correlation between population density and both cropland (r = 0.89) and built-up areas (r = 0.70). It is recommended that intensification of monitoring activities by the district assembly would help to reduce the anthropogenic activities being conducted in the area.

Published: June 2024

Background: In the era of increased patient autonomy, clinicians face pressure to conform to all patient desires. They argue they are caring individuals with a stake in their patient's lives, and their rights of conscience should be respected and protected by law (Sullivan, 2019). The conflict between beneficence and autonomy in the delivery of healthcare can take many different forms, such as treatment refusal or decision-making regarding one's death. Healthcare professionals have a dual responsibility to respect patients' autonomy and give priority to measures that advance their overall health. This commentary explores the subtleties of the moral dilemma in further detail, looking at how it affects cross-cultural settings, medical education, and healthcare delivery. Objectives: To Investigate the relationship between patient autonomy and medical beneficence to learn how healthcare personnel can better handle moral dilemmas in medicine and explores the complexities of ethical decision-making in global health, emphasizing the importance of striking a balance between beneficence and autonomy while respecting cultural differences. Conclusion: By adopting a comprehensive perspective of autonomy and beneficence, healthcare workers can traverse ethical quandaries with compassion, honesty, and cultural humility. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, ongoing education, and a commitment to patient-centered care, the ethical imperatives of autonomy and beneficence can be harmoniously integrated into the fabric of medical practice, ensuring optimal patient outcomes and upholding ethical integrity principles.

Ovaj rad se bavi analizom mesta i uloge domaćeg sektora poljoprivrede u privrednom razvoju Srbije. Uloga poljoprivrede u privrednom razvoju neke zemlje varira u zavisnosti od samog nivoa razvoja njene privrede, dok sa privrednim rastom obično dolazi do pada učešća i značaja poljoprivrede za privredni razvoj zemlje. Uprkos tome, u Srbiji se i dalje uočava visoka uloga poljoprivrede u privrednom razvoju zemlje, posmatrano i sa aspekta stvaranja dohotka i učešća poljoprivredne u ukupnoj radnoj snazi. Članak najpre detaljno opisuje opšte karakteristike poljoprivrednog sektora Republike Srbije, osvrćući se posebno na položaj poljoprivrednih gazdinstava, kao i strukturu poljoprivrede, ratarske i stočne proizvodnje. Pored problema i izazova sa kojima se suočava domaća poljoprivreda, članak opisuje i mesto i ulogu domaće poljoprivrede u zaposlenosti i  privrednom razvoju.

Low-Dose Oral Therapy of Pyridostigmine for the Treatment of Severe Side Effects from Botulinum Toxin Injection
Authors: Carlan SJ
Published: June 2024

Botulinum toxin is a potent neurotoxin that causes flaccid paralysis of muscles by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, thus preventing muscle contraction. Injecting the toxin is a cosmetic procedure used to relax the underlying facial muscles which results in a smoothing effect on the overlying skin. The procedure is not uncommon and where available is used serially over time. The side effects of the injection typically are mild and well-tolerated. However, neck muscle injection patients may develop dysphagia, dysphonia, dystonia or even airway compromise. Treatment of these complications historically has been supportive until the effects of the injection subside. Another treatment option reported is the use of pyridostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor. Pyridostigmine functions through a reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) which prevents acetylcholine (Ach) degradation at the neuromuscular junction, promoting muscle contraction. This treatment has not been standardized but to this point cases have mostly described using 60 mg orally as a maintanence dose until the side effect resolves.

A 37-year-old healthy female with no past medical history presented with a chief complaint of a 4-day history of difficulty swallowing. The patient was unable to swallow water since the onset of symptoms and had only worsened over time. Her only notable history was a series of botulinum toxin (Botox) injections received one week prior, a total of 300 units into her bilateral forehead, masseters and anterior neck per usual protocol. The patient was found to be protecting her airway and her physical exam was unremarkable. After labs, imaging and consultations were completed the patient was diagnosed with a muscular paralysis side effect of Botox injections and started on oral pyridostigmine at 30 mg three times daily starting dose which was used until symptoms cleared. She continued the 30 mg. The patient had improved significantly following treatment with pyridostigmine at her 1-month follow-up visit.

Rare sequelae of Botox injections can be life-threatening without treatment. Reversing the method of nerve conduction toxicity using a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor can improve Botox’s side effects. The oral maintenance dose, however, is not standardized. This case supports the use of a much lower dose in an average-sized adult.

Published: June 2024

Among other agricultural activities, animal production has strategic importance for a country’s economy. In the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), animal production constitutes 45% of the total agricultural production. In response to the growing population, there is an increasing need for food of animal origin. State hatcheries and many private companies run animal production activities along with small-scale family enterprises. Almost all feedstock of animal feed with parent and hybrid materials are imported. On the other hand, most of the food of animal origins that is marketed (e.g. meat, milk, egg etc.) is produced in TRNC and the rest is imported when it is necessary. Halloumi, which covers almost all animal-based imported goods, is imported into many countries especially Turkey and Kuwait and contributes to the country’s economy. This study concentrates on the general state of animal production in TRNC and aims to present the current state of ruminant animals (66 thousand head of cattle, 197 thousand head of sheep and 78 thousand head of goat) in the country’s livestock farming, their contributions to the economy and the type of their production.

Published: June 2024

Hace unas semanas falleció Carlos Fernández Rodríguez, un amigo, un compañero de archivos y un historiador que dedicó toda su vida a la investigación histórica. Uno de sus temas fue la historia del Comunismo en España. Hablábamos mucho sobre la situación de los archivos y la historia en España, de la dificultad de investigar, de la falta de ayudas, de la dificultad de acceder a los archivos y a las fuentes documentales que no están en muchas ocasiones accesibles a la investigación debido a la falta de recursos y marcos legales, por eso, quiero dedicarle este artículo a su labor y sobre todo a su memoria, tanto a la que deja en sus libros, como a la que quiso recopilar, a la que no pudo recopilar por no poder acceder a las fuentes y a la que se marchó con él, la cual no podremos disfrutar. ¡Ojalá, Carlos, abramos por fin los archivos sin miedo, pues en ellos está la verdad para quien la quiera conocer! La memoria histórica es un tema muy ligado a la política y a los archivos, sin embargo, en las legislaciones que se desarrollan apenas se tiene cuenta a los archivos y los archiveros, y eso se puede observar al analizar las normativas, es importante, tener en cuenta cómo se instrumentan dichas normas para evitar que repercutan de manera negativa en los servicios de los archivos cara a los ciudadanos. En este artículo se analiza la Ley de Memoria Democrática del 2022 desde el punto de vista de un archivero y su experiencia.

Wasatiyyah Paradigm in Tafsir Al-Azhar by Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (Hamka): A Study of Theory and Implementation for Religious Harmony
Authors: Farhan Ahmad , Subagio Mukhamad Hadi Musolin
Published: June 2024

As a multi-religious and multicultural country, Indonesia has shown a peaceful face with its plurality in accordance with the motto of Bhineka Tunggal Ika. But on the other hand, it cannot be denied that there is a potential for conflict and even friction to violence in the reality of religious life. This potential arises due to the attitude of not being able to accept differences in interpretation, understanding so that they claim and blame each other. So a moderate attitude becomes important to implement in an effort to create religious harmony. Islamic moderation is the solution to extremism and radicalism (including terrorism) in the name of religion. Recently, the government has continued to narrate the Wasatiyyah attitude or religious moderation carried out by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. What is done is part of a continuous and consistent effort to create a more harmonious religious and inter-religious life by promoting the spirit of the middle way, balance, proportion and tolerance. Of course, the concept of Islamic moderation that is raised is inseparable from religious normative sources including interpretations of religious texts. This research will examine further and in depth the concept of Wasatiyyah from tafsir products to become one of the literatures of Indonesian Muslims from various circles. There are several reasons that encourage the author to choose this tafsir book, namely: First, Tafsir al-Azhar is a monumental work of Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah (The name is abbreviated as Hamka) that is written, compiled until completed in full 30 part of Holy Qur’an in the socio-political situation of the old order government. Even this work was partly written when Hamka was inpriisoned. Secondly, Hamka was a scholar, political activist and a great writer in Indonesia. His work is written in Indonesian or Malay, so it is widely accessed and researched. This research is a literature review with a qualitative descriptive method that explores the concept of Wasatiyyah, its values and characteristics in the Quran and its Tafsir. That the value of Wasatiyyah contained in the interpretation of the verses can certainly be a guide to be implemented in religious life so that a harmonious life can be created and minus the conflict between religious communities in Indonesia.

Published: June 2024

This study investigates and compares the performance of counter-rotating and co-rotating intermeshing twin-screw designs in filament extruder machines. The research sought to determine whether the counter-rotating intermeshing design with its opposite flow direction offers advantages over the co-rotating intermeshing design in terms of flow analysis and shear rates. Flow analysis was conducted to examine the velocity of the polypropylene-based biocomposite material inside the barrel. Shear rate data was obtained by evaluating the relationship between shear rate and screw speed to assess the stability and maximum shear rate of the twin-screw extruders. The results revealed that the counter-rotating intermeshing twin-screw extruders exhibited higher shear rates and more consistent pressure compared to the co-rotating intermeshing design. The superiority of the counter-rotating extruder was attributed to its opposite flow direction and distinct thread shapes, facilitating efficient material compression and improved dispersion of polymer-based biocomposite materials. The study suggested the potential for further exploration and refinement of the counter-rotating intermeshing twin-screw extruder design, particularly in producing polypropylene-based biocomposite filaments for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) machines.

The thermoforming process is a widely utilized manufacturing technique for shaping thermoplastic materials into various products. Achieving uniform and controlled thermal distribution within the material during thermoforming is crucial to ensure high-quality products and minimize defects. This study investigates and enhances the understanding of thermal distribution in thermoforming processes through simulation analysis before it is done via experiment. This research investigates the thermal distribution in the thermoforming process of Polyphenylene Sulfide composites. The heating element distances were varied during the simulations of the thermoforming process of Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) composites, focusing on understanding how different distances affect the material’s deformability, dimensional accuracy, and overall quality. Three heater temperatures with three heater distances are tested. The distance between two heated surfaces is 200, 300 and 500 mm for 320oC, 360oC and 400oC heated surfaces. The desired PPS temperature (320oC) and maximum heater temperature (400oC) are parameters. The test result shows that to achieve 320oC thermoplastic temperature, we can use 385oC IR heater temperature with a heater distance of 200 mm. However, this 200 mm distance might be too close for the operation, and a larger distance might be needed. Using 300 mm or 500 mm can achieve close to 320oC if the heater temperature is set to 400oC. In conclusion, this value is a reference for the distance of the material between the heater during the fabrication process.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to develop 3D printing filament composites that support sustainability and waste reduction goals by utilizing wood waste and recycled polypropylene. This study evaluated the effect of Maleic Anhydride Polyethylene (MAPE) and Maleic Anhydride Polypropylene (MAPP) compatibilizers on the mechanical properties of the filament. The study found that r-WoPPc filament with MAPP and MAPE had higher tensile strength compared to r-WoPPc with significant increments of 13% and 74%, respectively, compared to v-WoPPc. The flexural strength of r-WoPPc increased by 18% and 60% after adding optimum loading MAPP and MAPE, respectively. The finding also reveals a significant enhancement in the tensile and flexural strength of the composite, proportional to the increase in MAPP percentage. In contrast, as the MAPE content increases, the tensile strength and flexural strength of the r-WoPPc experience a gradual decrease. Consequently, the addition of MAPP and MAPE improved the interfacial adhesion between wood and polypropylene, as revealed by the surface morphology of the r-WoPPc tensile fractured surface. Moreover, the reduced water absorption in r-WoPPc is attributed to the enhanced interfacial adhesion between wood fibers and the r-PP matrix, associated with improved tensile and flexural strength. The highest tensile strength of r-WoPPc with MAPP absorbs 14% water, while the lowest tensile strength absorbs 26%. Likewise, the highest tensile strength of r-WoPPc with MAPE absorbs only 0.8% water, compared to the lowest strength, which absorbs 2% water. This study demonstrated the potential for producing 3D printing filament from recycled polypropylene and wood waste, which benefits sustainability.

Published: June 2024

The machining quality plays a pivotal role in determining the service life of components. In this context, the primary focus of the experimental investigation is centered on the impact of cutting conditions during edge trimming of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) material. The ultimate objective of this experiment is to pinpoint the most effective machining parameters, specifically the cutting speed, Vc and the feed per tooth, fz, to minimize damages during the edge trimming process using actual aerostructural sample components composed of CFRP material. Furthermore, the study took into account the issue of tool wear on cutting tools. The Design of Experiment (DoE) technique, specifically the Taguchi L9 orthogonal arrays method, was used to conduct this research. It was shown that the feed per tooth, fz, and the cutting speed, Vc, had the biggest effects on the trimmed surface quality as the longitudinal surface roughness increased. It was demonstrated that the fracture of the pyramidal tooltips in router-type tools happened more frequently at higher cutting speeds, Vc. The optimal machining parameters for minimizing damages during CFRP edge trimming were the combination of the feed per tooth, fz at 0.05 mm and cutting speed, Vc at 50 m/min. The most significant element influencing the tool’s wear was the cutting speed, Vc.
Breves observações sobre o empirismo construtivo de Van Fraassen

Published: June 2024

Na concepção do empirismo construtivo perpassam temas característicos da tradição empirista tais como a proposta de uma fuga da metafísica, a determinação do objetivo da ciência e das teorias científicas, bem como a fundamentação de critérios válidos para a distinção entre ciência e metafísica. A tradição empirista é revisada na visão de van Fraassen numa retomada das questões a partir de uma visão crítica que vise a reabilitar a visão antirrealista. Traremos aqui uma descrição dos pontos fundamentais da filosofia de van Fraassen, fazendo, ao final, um questionamento sobre os seguintes pontos: a posição voluntarista de van Fraassen, a distinção observável/inobservável, a coerência do conceito de adequação empírica e sobre compromissos metafísicos do empirismo construtivo.

A beleza interessada
Authors: Benites Matheus
Published: June 2024

Este trabalho propõe uma análise da crítica de Nietzsche à estética de Kant, com foco na noção de beleza. Kant argumentou, em sua “Crítica da faculdade de julgar”, que a apreciação estética do belo ocorre de modo desinteressado, promovendo uma suspensão dos instintos sensíveis e racionais. No entanto, Nietzsche contestou essa visão em sua “Genealogia da moral”, argumentando que a apreciação do belo está intrinsecamente relacionada aos nossos desejos, paixões e interesses individuais. Primeiro, passando pela leitura de Heidegger de que talvez Nietzsche tenha interpretado Kant equivocadamente por conta da influência de Schopenhauer, o artigo expõe como Nietzsche interpreta a ideia de uma “beleza desinteressada” como fruto da má consciência e defende que não existe tal coisa como um não-egoísmo. Em seguida, o artigo expõe a argumentação nietzschiana — apoiada na compreensão de que o belo estimula nossas forças, vivências e desejos — que dá sustento à noção de beleza interessada. Por fim, em terceiro lugar, a partir da concepção epistemológica do perspectivismo, este artigo aborda a rejeição de Nietzsche da noção de sujeito transcendental de Kant e como, não havendo sujeito, não pode haver desinteresse, de modo que restam apenas as forças e suas dinâmicas de vontade de poder.

Igual salario a trabajo de igual valor: ¿qué parte del principio no se entiende en la universidad pública para el personal investigador doctor?
Authors: Molina Navarrete Cristóbal
Published: June 2024

El sistema financiero de la investigación universitaria, que se basa en promover que las universidades acudan constantemente a convocatorias externas para la captación de recursos y talento, determina que se multiplique la diversidad de situaciones jurídicas de personal investigador. Esta diferencia de convocatorias entra en conflicto con el principio de igualdad retributiva. De ahí que sean frecuentes los conflictos colectivos en reivindicación de la igualdad, cuya vis expansiva se afirma en la jurisprudencia. Esta, sin embargo, suele hacer un juicio de trazo grueso sobre la razonabilidad de esas diferencias, pese a encontrar fundamento en las recientes leyes.

Originality: This study offers an encompassing perspective on the academic landscape of NPS, contributing to the limited body of bibliometric reviews on this topic. It holds value for researchers and practitioners interested in customer relationship management and its theoretical support.
Consumer behaviour towards the adoption of digital banking channels
Authors: Matlala Ntswaki Petunia
Published: June 2024

Digital banking channels have gained immense popularity and have successfully acquired and retained clients. Despite their growing popularity, some consumers still hesitate to adopt these channels. In this study, we explore the role of personality in influencing consumer behaviour towards adopting digital banking channels. The study utilised the Technology Readiness Index to gauge customers' preference for digital banking channels. To answer the research question, the researcher employed a quantitative methodology. The snowball sampling method was used, with respondents passing the questionnaire to others who met specific criteria. 338 valid responses were collected. The proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling. The study suggests that mobile banking channels can be a powerful indicator of users' preferences for various banking channels, such as internet banking, ATM, and cell phone banking. Personality traits optimism, innovativeness and insecurity were the criteria responsible for making mobile banking the most preferred digital banking channel. Financial institutions must critically examine their mobile banking platforms and provide various services to support an end-to-end customer experience. Banks must continue to promote the benefits of mobile banking, including convenient access, time-saving, and the ability to conduct basic banking tasks. Further research could examine the impact of mobile banking channels on cybersecurity and data privacy.

Rose of Sharon Church (ROSC) Salatiga, as a rapidly growing spiritual community, faces challenges in managing the increasing number of congregants, especially during events and compliance with health protocols. This significant growth necessitates more effective attendance management to avoid overcrowding. This research addresses this need by developing the ROSC Worship Reservation application based on Progressive Web Apps (PWA) using the Flutter Framework. The application aims to simplify congregants' worship reservations, reduce crowds, and support church administrative tasks. The use of Flutter as the primary framework provides advantages in rapid development and a user-friendly interface. The results of the User Acceptance Test (UAT) show a high satisfaction rate, reaching 92%, regarding the application's functionality and user interface. Additionally, 84% of respondents state that the seating layout displayed by the application significantly aids in effectively choosing seats. It is hoped that the application will continue to provide benefits in managing congregational attendance systematically, efficiently, and in compliance with health protocols. The conclusion of this research emphasizes that the ROSC Salatiga Worship Reservation has successfully created an innovative solution to support church management amid the dynamic growth of congregational attendance.

A mucosite oral (MO) consiste em uma inflamação na parte interna bucal que decorre de alguns eventos biológicos que evoluem desde a submucosa até o epitélio. Dentre as principais complicações estão úlceras, sangramentos, atrofia, eritema, edema e feridas nesta região. Possuindo origem multifatorial, em diversos casos, a MO possui origem atrelada ao tratamento radioterápico, principalmente ao câncer de cabeça e pescoço (CCP). A metodologia realizada foi a revisão integrativa de literatura, com metodologia de forma qualitativa, através da coleta de dados realizada por meio de busca de artigos científicos em quatro bases de dados eletrônicos - PubMed, LILACS, SciELO e BBO- entre os anos de 2018 e 2023, utilizando os descritores “Low level light therapy, Oral mucositis e Radiotherapy’ combinados com a associação “AND”. Esta seleção foi realizada por 8 pesquisadores de forma independente. Como resultados, obteve-se um total de 14 artigos em inglês e português, destes, 1 revisão de literatura, 3 estudos randomizados, 4 relatos de casos, 1 estudo clínico, 1 revisão sistemática, 1 revisão narrativa, 1 estudo transversal, 1 editorial e 1 estudo retrospectivo de acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade. O câncer é considerado uma das doenças com maior incidência no mundo, incluindo, assim o CCP. As complicações bucais da terapia oncológica, com radioterapia, apresentam complicações e danos aos tecidos adjacentes, como ressecamento oral, disfagia e alteração do paladar, estão associadas a um impacto negativo na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. A mucosite oral é um efeito colateral agudo e uma das complicações orais mais comuns do tratamento citotóxico do câncer, diversos são os tratamentos para a mucosite oral descritos na literatura, como a utilização da laserterapia de baixa intensidade, que apresenta efeito analgésico, anti-inflamatório e reparador. A laserterapia tem sido utilizada tanto no tratamento quanto na prevenção da mucosite. Diante do exposto, é relevante a importância do cirurgião-dentista na equipe multiprofissional de um hospital oncológico visando ao diagnóstico, à prevenção, ao manejo da mucosite oral e a demais complicações bucais ocasionadas pelo tratamento oncológico, bem como capacitação destes em laserterapia.

Ao considerar um procedimento de elevação do seio maxilar, uma avaliação pré-operatória abrangente é crucial para garantir o sucesso e a segurança da cirurgia. A avaliação normalmente começa com uma revisão completa do histórico médico do paciente, o que ajuda o dentista a compreender quaisquer condições de saúde subjacentes ou medicamentos que possam afetar o procedimento. O objetivo deste estudo é revisar o procedimento de levantamento do seio maxilar, abrangendo avaliação pré-operatória, técnicas cirúrgicas, materiais de enxerto ósseo e possíveis complicações. Para atingir ao objetivo proposto, recorreu-se à pesquisa descritiva, exploratória, de cunho qualitativo. Esta pesquisa foi realizada por meio de uma revisão de literatura, onde os artigos foram coletados nas bases de Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Public Medline or Publisher Medline (PUBMED) e Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). Para a realização da busca utilizou-se os descritores contendo as palavras “Implante dentário”, “seio maxilar”, “levantamento do seio maxilar” e seus correlatos em língua inglesa. Os critérios de elegibilidade foram artigos disponíveis gratuitamente publicados entre 2018 e 2023 nos idiomas português e inglês, que descrevam sobre a temática levantada. O procedimento de levantamento do seio maxilar é um método complexo, mas eficaz para aumentar o volume ósseo na região posterior da maxila e permitir a colocação bem-sucedida de implantes dentários. A avaliação pré-operatória desempenha um papel crucial na determinação da viabilidade e do sucesso do procedimento, enquanto várias técnicas cirúrgicas oferecem flexibilidade com base nas necessidades individuais do paciente. Apesar da sua eficácia, as potenciais complicações devem ser consideradas e geridas de forma adequada para garantir o sucesso global do procedimento. Com os avanços na tecnologia e nos materiais, a elevação do seio maxilar continua a ser uma ferramenta valiosa no campo da implantodontia, proporcionando aos pacientes melhor saúde e função bucal.

Authors: Desmet Bernard
Published: June 2024

L’optimisation énergétique des moteurs thermiques constitue un enjeu majeur pour la préservation des ressources énergétiques et la protection de l’environnement en limitant les émissions de polluants et de gaz à effet de serre.Dans ce contexte, en utilisant l’approche thermodynamique, Thermodynamique des moteurs thermiques étudie les phénomènes de conversion d’énergie des moteurs thermiques. Les analyses s’étendent de l’énergie primaire utilisée jusqu’à la valorisation de la chaleur fatale. Les bases nécessaires à la compréhension de l’analyse thermodynamique de la combustion et de la conversion de chaleur en travail mécanique sont présentées. Ces analyses s’appliquent aussi bien aux moteurs des systèmes de transport (véhicules routiers et ferroviaires, aéronautique et espace) que ceux des installations fixes (systèmes de cogénération, centrales à cycles combinés).
Modélisation numérique en mécanique fortement non linéaire
Authors: Besson Jacques , Lebon Frédéric , Lorentz Eric
Published: June 2024

Modélisation numérique en mécanique fortement non linéaire traite des avancées récentes sur le traitement numérique des phénomènes de contact/frottement et d’endommagement.Bien que distincts sur le plan physique, ces phénomènes entraînent tous deux une forte non-linéarité du problème mécanique qui limite la régularité du problème, dorénavant non différentiable. En outre, ceci implique deux conséquences directes : d’une part, les caractéristiques mathématiques du problème s’écartent des formes bien maîtrisées et requièrent notamment des schémas de discrétisation innovants ; et d’autre part, la faible régularité complique singulièrement la résolution robuste et performante des systèmes algébriques de grande taille correspondants.Par ailleurs, ni l’unicité, ni même l’existence de solutions ne restent assurées, ce qui se traduit par des points de bifurcation, des charges limites et des instabilités structurelles, toujours délicats à franchir sur le plan numérique.
