ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Authors: Suyog Kadam Mrs. Komal
Published: April 2024

The term artificial can be expressed as something that does not prevail within various natural occurrences of existence on earth, in layman's terms artificial is the opposite natural. Majority of artificial objects that provide utilities are made in the eyes of naturally occurring phenomenon’s, the most basic example of a light a bulb if broken down to its core purpose can be explained as emission of light where it may not be present naturally. Artificial plants are made to please or rather elude the eyes of a human, by creating an exact replica of naturally occurring plants but they are made to be artificial for the sole reason of not being able to exist in the natural habitat of human conditioning. Intelligence in the most basic sense can be defined as the most appropriate application of available information in order to get around or tackle any situation. Self awareness of available knowledge also falls under intelligence in the forms of realization. Together can be defined as a derived natural process that can be made easier with the help of technology existing in today’s time. Artificial intelligence is created to serve a purpose based on a process that may occur naturally and those purposes whose needs extend beyond the availability of time; this creates a need for replicating natural process to fulfill these utilities provided through natural processes.

Rewriting a Complex Story for a Young Reader: The Development of Audience-Adapted Writing Skills
Authors: Kroll Barry M.
Published: April 2024

The aim of this study was to describe the development of audience-adapted writing skills between the end of elementary school and the beginning of college. Students in grades 5, 7, 9, and 11, and college freshmen, were given the task of rewriting a linguistically complex story for a young reader. Analyses of rewritten stories showed significant, agerelated decreases in mean lexical and syntactic complexity, as well as significant increases in mean reading ease. Further analyses of the alteration of difficult lexical items and rewriting of the moral of the story suggested a shift from extensive use of “word-oriented” strategies in the lower grades to increasing use of a “meaning-oriented” approach in the higher grades.
Basic Writing Students: Investigating Oral and Written Language
Authors: Farr Marcia , Janda Mary Ann
Published: April 2024

This study investigates the relationship between the oral and written language of one college-level basic-writing student who is a speaker of Vernacular Black English. One possible explanation for basic-writing students’ difficulties in writing is that they may inappropriately use features from their oral language in their written language. We found in this study that neither VBE patterns in the student’s oral language nor other features of orality which previous research has identified primarily account for his writing problems. For other such students, future research will need to explore 1) whether or not the use of oral, or the lack of literate, features account for problems in writing, and 2) the nature of other, as yet unidentified, features of orality and literacy.
Diversité des droits dans la quête de la sécurité humaine
Authors: Mukonde Pascal Musulay
Published: April 2024

La sécurité humaine est tributaire de tous les secteurs de la vie humaine. Elle se trouve confrontée à l’immensité de l’insécurité multiforme : l’absence d’une politique adéquate de planning familial, dans une approche plutôt qualitative que quantitative, l’insécurité alimentaire que nutritionnelle, l’insécurité sociale des travailleurs comme l’insécurité militaire créée par multiples menaces à la paix et par des violences inhumaines de toutes sortes. Cet ouvrage contribue offre l’information adéquate et pratique sur différentes catégories de droits partagés dans le cadre d’une mondialisation aussi bien unitaire que plurielle. L’ouvrage s’adresse surtout aux Pouvoirs Publics pour l’adoption d’une politique cohérente et souple, emprunte des évidences de fait et de droit, en vigueur ou à légiférer. L’auteur présente ici un laboratoire spécifique et holistique d’idées en matière de la sécurité humaine.
O anjo antuniano: a matriz mnésica como força motriz da obra de António Lobo Antunes
Authors: Cardoso Norberto do Vale
Published: April 2024

Tomando como ponto de partida a teoria do Anjo da História, julgamos ser inteligível estabelecer uma ligação entre o Angelus Novus (pintura de Paul Klee), conforme é visto por Walter Benjamin, e o conceito de tempo na obra de António Lobo Antunes. Apreendendo uma vivência temporal distinta (África), as memórias da obra antuniana desdobram-se entre o passado e o presente, tentando superar o dilema do Anjo da pintura de Klee: resgatar os mortos, o passado, perante o advento do progresso.

Authors: Rosa Marluza da , Ribeiro Jocenilson
Published: April 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a noção de valor trabalho no contexto de migração e refúgio no Brasil contemporâneo. O corpus é constituído por cinco recortes extraídos da Série “Ser Brasil - migrantes e refugiados” (2021), dirigida por André Constantin. O estudo é orientado pelo aporte teórico-metodológico da análise do discurso de orientação francesa em diálogo interdisciplinar com outras literaturas centradas nos estudos de migração e refúgio, decolonialidade e interseccionalidade. As análises apontam para o descompasso entre a noção de valor trabalho na política neoliberal e o papel do Estado sob os princípios dos direitos humanos.
Reflexões sobre poética em crônicas de António Lobo Antunes
Authors: Amorim Claudia Maria de Souza
Published: April 2024

Esse artigo examina nas crônicas de António Lobo Antunes algumas observações que o escritor faz acerca de sua própria escrita e da recepção crítica de suas obras. Nesse sentido, essas crônicas funcionam como apontamentos paralelos ao seu processo de criação romanesca. Nelas, observa-se ainda o exercício experimental da escrita encontrado em seus romances, além do da construção imagética de que o escritor faz uso na sua construção literária. Com isso, as crônicas parecem funcionar como espaço de reflexão de uma poética própria, vigorosamente perseguida pelo escritor no seu processo criativo.
Nada no mundo é mais órfão que os olhos: o gesto inacabado e a aprendizagem do afeto em A outra margem do mar, de António Lobo Antunes
Authors: Angelini Paulo Kralik
Published: April 2024

A escrita de António Lobo Antunes é um complexo emaranhado de vozes, de tempos e espaços, que se aglutinam num tecido textual extremamente desafiador. Em A outra margem do mar, três personagens-narradores desfiam um presente sempre voltado ao passado, neste caso, um tempo de guerra em África, de desintegração familiar e de perdas. Este artigo intenta mergulhar no universo dessas três personagens a fim de expor a arquitetura caótica de seus mundos, em especial essa espécie de analfabetismo afetivo, que lhes impede gestos de ternura e de amor. Como suporte teórico, autores como Le Breton, Bauman, Restrepo, Morin, entre outros.

 N  o supe en qué lengua tratar de contarles esto. Por algo el poeta intentó capturar esos momentos, más duraderos que sólo instantes, en que oscuridad y luz se seducen mutuamente. La mejor mañana después de un viaje de 11 horas, a contrareloj, es la primera: la noche ya es tu mañana, y la mañana ya es tu tarde. Las aves conocen de la circunferencia de la tierra, y cantan, con todo, en contra del permanente trafical de la avenida.

Published: April 2024

Summary Introduction: Burnout syndrome at work is a response to chronic emotional and interpersonal stressors associated with the workplace, and occurs in workers without previous psychopathological illnesses or organic diseases. Aim: The aim of the research was to examine the prevalence of stress and burnout syndrome, among physicians and nurses working in the intensive care units (MICU) of 3 regional centers (Banja Luka, Novi Sad and Ljubljana), and to determine the differences between the centers and the causes of these differences. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study conducted during August and September 2020 (at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic) by surveying healthcare workers (doctors and nurses/technicians) from three intensive care units of the former Yugoslavia. The participantsfulfilled the Questionnaire for self-assessment of stress levels and the Maslach burnout inventory, which were supplemented with sociodemographic parameters. The obtained data were statistically processed using the SPSS 21 program. Results: 91 participantsfrom all 3 regional centers were included in th study. A statistically significant difference was found in terms of age, degree of professional education, length of service, gender, marital and parental status, where respondents from Ljubljana show the greatest deviations comparedto subjects from the other two centers. The sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents only showed that gender had a statistically significant influence on the degree of personal achievement. Conclusion: The attributes of healthcare professionals who work in MICUs with the same level of life support (level III) may be influenced by the development level and length of tradition of intensive care units. Additionally, factors such as legislation and other external and internal elements unique to each organizational unit can also play a role.

Chega y el fin de la inmunidad lusa
Authors: Noivo Diogo
Published: April 2024

Tras años de supuesta inmunidad ante el auge de la derecha radical populista, Portugal ha visto entrar en el parlamento al partido Chega. Desde entonces, esta fuerza política ha crecido en votos y escaños, ocupando actualmente el puesto de tercer partido nacional. Con el objetivo de entender Chega como fenómeno político y social, este artículo se propone trazar los ejes fundamentales de su trayectoria, de su liderazgo y de sus ideas políticas. Para ello, empieza con un análisis de las condiciones favorables a la emergencia de la derecha radical populista en el país, echando una breve mirada a la genealogía del radicalismo luso de derechas para después señalar los cambios ocurridos en el sistema de partidos. Después examina los primeros pasos de Chega y el perfil de su fundador y presidente, André Ventura. Por fin, en aras de evaluar hasta qué punto Chega se enmarca en el espacio de la derecha radical populista, se indaga en la ideología y agenda programática del partido.

Jewel of the Fair: la participación de España en la Feria Mundial de Nueva York de 1964
Authors: Rodríguez Campesino Aida
Published: April 2024

Entre 1964 y 1965 se celebró la Feria Mundial de Nueva York, una exposición internacional en la que España tuvo una participación notoria. Con el impulso de Manuel Fraga y Fernando Castiella, el régimen franquista aprovechó que el año de celebración de exposición coincidía con los «25 años de paz» tras el final de la Guerra Civil, por lo que era una gran oportunidad a nivel propagandístico para presentar a España como un país moderno y renovado. Los resultados de la participación pueden ser considerados exitosos en términos diplomáticos y de imagen. La revista Life le dedicó un reportaje al pabellón español en agosto de 1964 en el que lo denominaba «the jewel of the fair». En términos culturales, se buscaba mostrar una imagen de España como país generador de alta cultura y también se intentaba recurrir a los vínculos históricos entre España y América. En este artículo se analiza la presencia española en la exposición de 1964, estudiando el discurso implícito, los objetivos y las relaciones de España con Estados Unidos y América Latina en el marco de la defensa de la denominada «hispanidad», al amparo del imperialismo informal.

Published: April 2024

Optimizing the performance of racing motorcycles is a central goal for competition teams. The necessity to ensure driver stability and a good level of grip in the widest possible range of riding conditions makes it necessary for tires to work in the right temperature window, capable of ensuring the highest interaction force between tire and road. Specifically, the internal temperature of the tire is a parameter that can be difficult to measure and control but has a significant impact on motorcycle performance and, also, on driver stability. Deepening knowledge of internal tire temperature in racing motorcycles can improve performance optimization on the track and finding the right motorcycle setup. In this work, a physical thermal model is adopted for an activity concerning the development of a moto-student vehicle, to predict the racing motorcycle setup allowing the tire to work in a thermal window that optimizes grip and maximizes tire life. More in detail, a focus has been placed on the effects of the motorcycle’s wheelbase and pivot height variations on internal tire temperatures. Indeed, the stability and handling of the vehicle are highly dependent on the geometric properties of the chassis. Several values of such quantities have been tested in a properly implemented vehicle model developed in the “VI-BikeRealTime” environment, validated by outdoor tests, able to provide forces acting on the tires, slip indices, and speeds, needed by the thermal model as inputs. Through the analysis of the internal temperatures calculated by the model, reached by the various layers of the tire, it has been possible to investigate which of the simulated conditions cause a too-fast thermal activation of the tire and which of them can avoid overheating and underheating phenomena. Lately, this research has delved into the correlation between motorcycle riders' paths and temperature fluctuations with the aim of comprehending how minor alterations in routine maneuvers may influence tire energy activation, particularly in the context of racing and qualifying conditions.

Depopulation and deep aging: the former Yugoslav and western Balkans space between the second demographic transition and emigration
Authors: Josipovič Damir
Published: April 2024

The article elaborates on the concept of deep aging where the overall aging effects of the second demographic transition are topped by the emigration of fertile contingent. The cases of former Yugoslav states and Albania are juxtaposed to enlighten the different demographic paths after the break-up of Yugoslavia. In the meantime, ever more pronounced emigration from all the former Yugoslav republics, including the Kosovo-Metohia territory, and Albania (as recently associated member of “the Western Balkans Six” European waiting room). In Slovenia, migrations acquired a pseudo-voluntary character somewhat similar to that of the later Yugoslav period. This leads us to the question if the maxima “the longer the period of EU membership the lesser the emigration from the country” is still true. Parallel processes of internal migration (resettlement from east to west and from south to north within the EU) and international migration (refugees, overseas migration) are discernible in Europe. The region of Western Balkans and former Yugoslav space share most of the demographic features to a lesser extent. With lower fertility and higher age-specific mortality the gap is increasing among the countries of the region. Yet there are also other, e.g. geographical, and ethnic, factors not directly connected with the pronounced emigration processes, so the contribution sets to explore these as well. The methodology involved in this research spans from the demographic methods and typical procedures for obtaining certain indicators. In addition, the geographic and spatial methods such as location quotients, densities, and complex aggregate indicators (typification, regionalization) are applied as well. The presented research is a result of the research programme on minority and ethnic studies and the research project on ethnic vitality.
Emigration abroad from the Former Yugoslav Region - previous trends, current situation and challenges
Authors: Janeska Verica
Published: April 2024

Emigration abroad from the former Yugoslav region began in the mid-sixties of the previous century based on the political decision borders to be opened for temporary work abroad. During this period, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was the only socialist country that liberalized the residence of its citizens outside the country. Until the breakup of Yugoslavia, the emigration from the former republics abroad was with different scope and intensity. After that emigration abroad took place in different directions and noticed significant changes. The aim of the paper is to determine the changes of the emigration abroad from the former Yugoslav region before and after the breakup of Yugoslavia. The previous trends, current situation, main features as well as challenges of the emigration abroad from Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia are analysed. In the research available data of the State Statistical Offices of these countries and foreign data sources are used. Atlas of Migration data 2022 show that all these countries are faced with increased emigration abroad. According the stock data for 2020 the total number of emigrants from Bosnia & Herzegovina amounts 1691 thousands, that is 51.7% of the total population of the country. In other former Yugoslav countries this data amounts: Montenegro 133 thousands and 21.3%; North Macedonia 892 thousands and 48.6%; Serbia 1004 thousands and 13.7% respectively. Croatia and Slovenia are also faced with emigration, but it is offset by immigration. The annual flows for 2020 show that the number of immigrants in Croatia is 33 thousand, while the number of emigrants is 34 thousand. In Slovenia, the number of immigrants (36 thousand) is twice that of emigrants (18 thousand). In terms of international migration, the countries of the former Yugoslavia are faced with different challenges. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia are faced with emigration, which, depending on the intensity, causes a greater or lesser shortage of human resources, which can hardly be compensated by appropriate labour force from abroad. At the same time, Croatia and Slovenia are in a different position and easily provide the necessary workforce, mainly from other former Yugoslav countries.
Demographic tendencies in the Serbia-Croatia border region: А case study of the Zapadnobačka and Osiječko-baranjska region
Authors: Josifov Nemanja , Sedlak Marko , Krstić Filip
Published: April 2024

Demographic trends are a current topic today, because a large part of the European continent, and therefore the post-Yugoslav countries, are characterized by processes of depopulation, senility, and significant emigration. The border areas of the states, which are located outside the main economic streams in the country, are particularly at risk and are rapidly becoming depopulated. The paper focuses on studying the demographic characteristics of the border area of the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Croatia. The analysis was carried out at the level of NUTS 3 (Zapadnobačka oblast in the Republic of Serbia and Osiječko-baranjska županija in the Republic of Croatia) to observe the similarities and differences in the demographic characteristics of the mentioned territory. Census data from both countries were used (Croatia - 2011 and 2021; Serbia - 2011 and 2022). One of the priorities of the work is to determine the trend of population movement in the border area of one country that is a member of the European Union (the Republic of Croatia since 2013) and another, neighbouring country, which is a candidate for membership (the Republic of Serbia since 2012). The following were considered: the change in the number of inhabitants, the average age of the population, the rates of birth, mortality, and natural increase, the rates of emigration, immigration, and migration balance, the age-sex structure of the population, to more meaningfully understand the demographic tendencies of this border area and give predictions for the future. The results of the research show that between 2011 and 2022, the Zapadnobačka oblast lost 33,596 inhabitants, i.e. 17.86%, while Osiječko-baranjska županija lost 47,006 inhabitants in the period from 2011 to 2021, i.e. 15.41%. Such data were influenced by the decline in fertility, negative natural growth, and the migration balance. Bearing this in mind, the paper proposes measures that can improve the demographic picture of the studied area, and they concern cross-border cooperation between the two countries and the application of good practice solutions implemented by countries facing the same problems.
Demographic aspects of the planned resettlement of settlements in Lazarevac municipality
Authors: Vukašinović Sandra
Published: April 2024

The planned resettlement of settlements in the course of the expansion of open-cast mining in the Kolubara mining basin has an impact on all aspects of social life in the municipality of Lazarevac. Primarily, this impact is reflected in the demographic development of the area. The expansion of coal mining and the immediate proximity to Belgrade, are the cause of significant demographic shifts. The municipality has 33 settlements, a third of which are located in the exploitation area. The number of inhabitants in some settlements is drastically decreasing, and some of them are completely displaced, while on the other side, there is a sudden influx of population in the city of Lazarevac and the secondary centres of the municipality (Veliki Crljeni, Stepojevac), both from the municipal territory and from other parts of Serbia, motivated by the economic advantages of Lazarevac and its surroundings. This fact determines the trend of a constant increase in the number of inhabitants in urban settlements in all observed intercensal periods from 1948 to 2022, while the decline in the number of inhabitants in rural settlements has been observed since the 1981-1991 census period. The sudden increase in the number of inhabitants in urban settlements since the 1980s can be explained by the intensification of mining operations and the process of expropriation taking place in rural settlements. According to the last census in 2022 – 55,146 inhabitants live on the territory of Lazarevac municipality, of which 27,635 live in the only urban settlement in the municipality and 27,511 in rural settlements. The data indicates that for the first time, the urban population in the municipality exceeds the rural population. This paper focuses on analysing the impact of the decades-long development of mining activity on the territory of the municipality of Lazarevac on the population and the comprehensive development of the settlement, both in a positive and negative context. The research also focuses on the transformation of the settlement environment caused by the expansion of open-cast mining, with an emphasis on the changes in the demographic characteristics of the settlement. The paper is based on the analysis of data from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, settlement regulation plans in the process of resettlement, the plan for the mining area of the Kolubara lignite basin and other sources relevant to the understanding of the given problem, as well as on the spatial representation of data using GIS software and tools. If we compare the dynamics of the expansion of the mines and the population of the Lazarevac municipality (before the start of open-cast mining and today), certain trends can be observed that make it possible to understand the demographic aspect of the process of planned displacement.

Published: April 2024

The current era and advancements in technology have facilitated communication, allowing individuals to stay updated about everyday events and maintain contact with their families. Currently, individuals are not facing a shortage of knowledge but rather an abundance of options when it comes to accessing information. In contemporary society, the majority of individuals, including young ones, find it difficult to conceive of a life devoid of the radio, television, telephone, and particularly the Internet. In its most comprehensive form, the mass media aims to disseminate information to a large audience. Our educational system is currently undergoing necessary reforms to keep up with the times. These reforms include updating curricula, programs, and textbooks, as well as incorporating modern teaching methods and technology, particularly electronic media like the Internet and audio-visual tools. These technological resources are essential for both students and teachers to acquire new knowledge in various fields of science and education. The rapid advancement of science and technology has significantly influenced the operations of educational institutions. However, it is important to acknowledge that this growth plays a beneficial role in modern teaching practices. However, recognizing that technological advancements have had detrimental effects on the lives and perspectives of young children, particularly those in early age groups, has sparked my curiosity about the influence of audio-visual mediums like the Internet, radio, and TV on children. My role as a mother and future educator drives this interest, as I consider the impact of these mediums on the education of future generations. Safeguarding the welfare of children is the collective responsibility of society. Therefore, it is imperative that we fulfill this duty diligently, both as members of society and particularly as members of educational institutions, where children receive the fundamental building blocks for their holistic development.

Emotional Stability among Trainee Teachers in India: A Study of Seemanchal Districts of Bihar
Authors: Dr. Prerna Mandhyan
Published: April 2024

Emotional stability is not only one of the effective determinants of the personality patterns, but it also helps to control the growth of adolescent development. Researcher found while reviewing the previous work that emotional stability of teachers determines perceptions of their classroom management, teacher–student relationships, and methodological-didactic setting disruptions. But the question was, is emotional stability matters in rural parts also. Researcher started to think about emotional stability of trainee teacher in backward districts of India. During training, these trainee teachers hardly get proper opportunity to acquire teaching skills as well as skills to deal with the social environment, in which emotional stability plays an important role being a significant trait of personality.  Keeping this in mind, the researcher has conducted a study to explore further about the emotional stability of trainee teachers studying in teacher training institutions in Seemanchal districts of Bihar, with respect to their academic stream, nature of institution, and gender. A standardized tool developed by Singh and Kumar (2009) was used to collect the data on seven major traits of emotional stability, i.e., Self-Esteem, Happiness, Anxiety, Obsessiveness, Independence, Hypochondria and Guilt. The researcher found in the study that nature of institution is not a significant contributor for the development of emotional stability. Gender-wise also, there is no significant difference in the emotional stability. The emotional stability differs significantly among the trainee teachers from different academic backgrounds, i.e., science, social science and humanities.

High-Resolution Soil Moisture Measurements in Rational Fertilization and Irrigation Methods as Part of the Sustainable use and Management of Soil Under Climate Change - DIY Solutions
Authors: Bogusz Juskiewicz Kacper
Published: April 2024

Current climate changes, including drought, represent one of the most severe and extreme natural phenomena, directly affecting the environment, economy and society, and increasingly leading to soil degradation. In drought-stricken areas, losses in agricultural production are driving up food prices. The world's demand for water will continue to grow further in the coming decades. In view of the presented facts, there is a tremendous need for a systemic approach to saving water in the process of soil reclamation and conducting multidisciplinary research in this field. The problem of fertilization is linked to reasonable irrigation. These processes ought to be synchronized and run simultaneously, under the control by the system. This paper presents a prototype measurement probe as an element of a measurement network and the results of tests of its application in under use. The purpose of this research was testing a cheap DIY to solution identify the availability of water resources in the soil layer where the major plant root mass is found, i.e., to a depth of up to 110 cm, and to rationalize the management and improve the efficiency of water use during irrigation, as well as to monitor the migration of water in the soil in the era of climate change. The conducted tests have yielded concrete conclusions - current climate change is already resulting in unusual situations, including the different behaviour of water migrating through the soil. Considering that a wide variety of soils and geological systems are present, it is extremely important to understand these mechanisms in great detail, which makes the created solution feasible. Such a detailed analysis of water migration in soil under use can very successfully support, for example, a low-cost precision irrigation (preventing drought), or fertilization, indicating periods when and where to introduce nutrients after rainfall so that they naturally reach the depth of the largest root mass as quickly as possible. The DIY solution can be crucial in Third World countries by conducting at least single, cheap soil moisture measurements, and in many other places affected by the problem of water deficit, it can be an alternative to extend existing monitoring systems.

Pulse lavage in lower limb arthroplasty: awash with carbon saving opportunities
Authors: Brennan Caitlin
Published: April 2024

Introduction
Pulse lavage is used in cemented orthopaedic procedures to prepare the bone bed, improve fixation strength at the bone-cement interface, and reduce the risk of bone cement implantation syndrome. We sought to calculate the approximate carbon cost of battery-operated pulse lavage in Scotland for the year 2022. 
 
Methods
We used data from the Scottish Arthroplasty Project and Scottish Hip Fracture Audit to establish the number of primary hip replacements, knee replacements, and  hip hemiarthroplasty procedures performed in 2022. We modelled the standard uses of eight AA batteries (at 23g each) per case. To calculate the carbon footprint associated we used the ‘UK Government GHG conversion factors dataset’ to calculate the carbon footprint in material use (materials, manufacture, and transport) and disposal.
 
Results
Data from the Scottish Arthroplasty Project and Scottish Hip Fracture Audit established that 11,175 primary hip or knee replacements and 4,036 hip hemiarthroplasty procedures were performed in 2022. Therefore, around 15,000 pulse lavage units were used in primary lower limb arthroplasty. If each case had utilised a system which uses eight AA batteries (at 23g each) then 120,000 batteries equating to 2.76 tonnes, would have been used. The carbon footprint for material use (2.76 x 4633.48 = 12788.40) and for disposal (2.76 x 8.883 = 24.52) demonstrates a total carbon footprint of 12,813KgCO2 associated with the use of disposable batteries in pulse lavage for the year 2022.
Conclusions
Single-use, disposable battery use in orthopaedic joint surgery creates at a high but preventable carbon burden. Reuseable alternatives which utilise the power tool to drive the motor for pulse lavage may save up to 55% of clinical waste.
