Preliminary field burns of RV trailers with external ignitions
Authors: Fox Lucy , Maranghides Alexander , Nazare Shonali , Jackson Karen
Published: June 2024

Two recreational vehicle (RV) travel trailers were burned outdoors at the Austin Fire Department training campus in Austin, TX. The goal of these preliminary experiments was to observe and document the burning behavior of fully furnished RV trailers and to assess the feasibility of future instrumented burns in the National Fire Research Laboratory. Burning parcel-level combustibles can produce significant thermal exposures to surrounding combustibles, often leading to fire spread beyond the object of origin. In wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires, this scenario often perpetuates fire spread leading to destruction further into a community. For these field burns, the RV trailers were ignited from the exterior, representing a WUI fire scenario where a parcel-level combustible ignites and becomes an exposure source, producing an enhanced fire spread pathway to other nearby combustibles or primary structures. The RV trailers were 6.7 m (22 ft) long and were equipped with basic factory-installed furnishings. Videos of the burns were recorded from multiple angles to document visual observations of fire behavior and flame lengths. The primary burning period of each trailer ranged from 13 min to 17 min. Maximum flame lengths were approximately 10 m (30 ft). Observations from the field burns present some concerns about the size of the fire for potential indoor laboratory study. The burns were conducted in collaboration with the Austin Fire Department, U.S. Fire Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Published: June 2024

Breeders are turning to rapid breeding methods in order to respond to the increasing population for the breeding of the wheat plant, which has a very important place in human nutrition. One of the biotechnological methods to shorten wheat breeding, which takes 15-20 years with classical breeding methods, is double haploid. The aim of this study is to obtain double haploid lines by taking wheat genotypes that have reached the F2 generation after hybridization into anther culture and thus shorten the breeding period. When looking at the response to anther culture of the 15 different F2 combinations used in the study, F2-7 and F2-10 genotypes stood out as the most successful genotypes. It was observed that 4 different groups were formed among 15 genotypes according to the success rate. It was concluded that the success of anther culture varies depending on the genotypes used, the nutrient media and the suitability of laboratory conditions.

Authors: ŞEN Dilek , SAĞLAM Fadime
Published: June 2024

In the scope of this study, the aim was to develop height−diameter models for Brutian pine forests located within the boundaries of Kurşunlu Waterfall Nature Park in Aksu district of Antalya province. For this purpose, height−diameter data for 516 sample trees were randomly divided into model (422 trees) and control (94 trees) groups. Using height−diameter values obtained from 422 sample trees, parameter estimates were made for three models that are commonly used in the literature and successfully reflect height−diameter relationships. The best model was evaluated based on four success criteria: Coefficient of Determination (R2), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MSE), and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). The results of the evaluation indicated that the M2 (Meyer) model, which exhibited the lowest ranking value, was the most effective model. The observed and predicted height values of the trees in the independent data group were compared using the Student’s t−test. The results of the test indicated that the observed and predicted height values were statistically indistinguishable (p>0.05). The height−diameter model developed as a result of the study will serve as a significant tool for biomass and carbon stock estimation.

This phenomena undoubtedly confers advantages onto financial services companies in Indonesia, notably by augmenting the degree of financial inclusion. Phenomenology is a research methodology that places significant emphasis on the act of observing. Within the realm of science, there exists a fundamental essence that underlies the concept of existence, a genuine reality that lies underneath surface appearances, and a profound knowledge of intentionality known as noema that is concealed behind observable occurrences. The result of the research showed that the approaches used by several banks have successfully satisfied the four primary components of the anti-fraud strategy as specified in Bank Indonesia Circular Letter No. 13/28/DPNP, according to the conclusions of this research. Nevertheless, the rapid integration of digital technology also has the risk of becoming harmful, due to the growing and varied dangers of financial crime. According to the 2020 Report to the Nations research conducted by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), Indonesia has the highest number of financial fraud cases among the 16 Asia Pacific nations included in the study. Indonesia had 36 financial fraud instances in a year, surpassing China's 33 cases and Australia's 29 cases. The bank utilizes the dissemination of anti-fraud strategy materials, the endorsement of the anti-fraud declaration, and the establishment of the whistleblowing system to execute the four fundamental principles of the anti-fraud strategy. Financial institutions must have a fraud detection system capable of analyzing and identifying many forms of fraudulent activities.

Published: June 2024

The relationship between chronic diseases and osteoarthritis is a common phenomenon, especially among the elderly. Patients with osteoarthritis require an integrated approach that includes the collaboration of various medical specialists, such as general practitioners, rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, gastroenterologists and traumatologists. The study aims to investigate the impact of diseases associated with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency on the course of primary osteoarthritis in comorbidity. A total of 304 patients with primary osteoarthritis and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency were analysed. All patients were divided into five groups depending on the type of concomitant pathology. The study determined that in the group of patients with primary osteoarthritis, a statistically significant improvement in the course of the disease according to various indicators, such as the radiological stage of osteoarthritis, functional joint failure, Lequesne index, and NSAID index, compared with those in the groups with other comorbidities, was present (p<0.05). This confirms the significant impact of the studied comorbidities on the course of primary osteoarthritis. The post-hoc analysis determined the ranking of the impact of comorbidities accompanied by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency on the clinical course of primary osteoarthritis by various indicators, such as the radiological stage of osteoarthritis, functional joint failure, Lequesne index, and the index of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Ranking results: type 2 diabetes mellitus ˃ chronic pancreatitis ˃ hepatobiliary diseases ˃ gastro-duodenal diseases (p<0.05). The study highlighted a mild exocrine insufficiency of the pancreas according to faecal α-elastase in the group of patients with isolated primary osteoarthritis. The study also established the ranking of the impact of pathologies accompanied by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency on the course of primary osteoarthritis by the level of faecal α-elastase: chronic pancreatitis ˂ type 2 diabetes mellitus ˂ hepatobiliary diseases ˂ gastro-duodenal diseases (p˂0.05). The results can be used in the clinical practice of doctors of various specialities: general practitioners, rheumatologists, gastroenterologists
Effect of pelvic tilt on changing the centre of rotation of the hip joint in preoperative planning
Authors: Zubkov Oleksandr , Torchynskyi Victor
Published: June 2024

The growing number of hip replacements associated with an ageing population requires more accurate and efficient methods of planning operations to ensure the success of interventions and minimise the risk of complications. The study aimed to demonstrate how changes in the pelvic angle affect the accurate determination of the centre of rotation of the hip joint. The study used dry pelvic and femoral bones with a 4 mm diameter implanted steel ball in the femoral head for modelling. X-rays were taken using a PLX 140 X-ray machine to record the displacement of the centre of rotation. The study confirmed the hypothesis that a change in the pelvic angle leads to a shift in the centre of rotation of the hip joint. This displacement requires attention during preoperative planning, as it can affect the choice and placement of the endoprosthesis. The study found that a high pelvic angle makes it difficult to fit a hip prosthesis, increasing the risk of prosthesis wear and dislocation. This requires an individualised approach to each patient, the use of special implants and postoperative monitoring. It is necessary to assess the anteversion and inclusion of the prosthesis, adjust the implantation depth and select the appropriate types of prosthesis based on the patient’s anatomy. The use of 3D modelling helps to optimise the placement of the prosthesis. Addressing anatomical features is key to reducing the risk of complications and improving the long-term results of arthroplasty

Published: June 2024

Clean and safe water is a fundamental requirement for human survival and well-being. The destruction of civilian infrastructure during wars or natural disasters can severely limit access to clean water for the local population, military, rescue workers and volunteers. The objective of the study was the evaluation of the efficiency of fresh water disinfection by electrolytic ozonation. The ozone concentration was measured photometrically by the intensity of the colour change in the reaction with N, N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate. The water quality was assessed microbiologically by determining the total microbial count of the samples and by analysing the colour of the bottom of the flasks in which the water samples were stored. The efficiency of ozonation of artesian water in the field was evaluated. Electrolytic ozonation of 500 mL of spring water for two and five minutes produced an aqueous ozone solution with a concentration of 0.74 and 1.72 mg/L, respectively. Electrolytic ozone decomposed slowly and was detected in the samples three days after the water treatment. Ozonation of spring water for 5 and 10 minutes effectively inactivated all natural microorganisms (2.11 log CFU/mL), the water remained sterile and without any colour changes for a month. Water samples ozonated for 2 minutes did not demonstrate any visible changes after a month of storage, however the natural microflora partially recovered. Planktonic microorganisms in the amount of 2.33 log CFU/mL, as well as biofilms on the walls of the flasks, were detected in a month in the control water samples. The colour of the bottom of the control flasks changed to dirty yellow. In the field, ozonation of water for 10 minutes prevented its spoilage even when the recommended treatment volume was increased by 10 times. The obtained results indicate that electrolytic ozonation is an effective method of freshwater disinfection, and portable ozonators can play an important role in emergency water purification in areas of armed conflicts or natural disasters

Authors: Smoliuk Nataliia , H. Shulhai Arkadii
Published: June 2024

Professional burnout among inpatient nurses who provide medical care to wounded military personnel is a significant problem for healthcare facilities, as it negatively affects the quality of care and requires further study to develop preventive measures at the individual and group levels to prevent it. The study aimed to conduct a comparative assessment of professional burnout among inpatient nurses providing medical care to military and civilian populations. A survey of 292 inpatient nurses was conducted. The level of professional burnout was determined according to the questionnaire by K. Maslach and S. Jackson. Correlation and regression analysis were used to determine the leading factors influencing the development of professional burnout in nurses. The study determined that the high level of emotional exhaustion in nurses who constantly worked with the military was 1.6 times (p=0.038) higher than in nurses who were engaged in providing medical care to civilians and rarely worked with the military, depersonalisation was 1.8 times (p=0.007), and the reduction of personal achievements was 1.9 times (p=0.022). Using multivariate linear regression analysis, it was found that the presence of chronic diseases, age, length of service, the number of night shifts worked during the month, as well as the presence of children with a high level of statistical significance affect the development of professional burnout in nurses during the war. Conducting activities with nurses in the form of courses or lectures aimed at improving communication competencies helps to reduce the level of professional burnout
Morphological changes in structural components of human heart valves associated with chronic haemodynamic trauma
Authors: Fedoniuk Larysa , Rudenko Olena , Ruzhytska Olena , Zhuchenko Pavlo
Published: June 2024

The heart valve design is optimally adapted to their physiological function, i.e., the uniform distribution of blood flow in the heart chambers, so even small changes in the structural components of the valves, which are initially functionally compensated, play a significant role in the development of heart disease in the later stages of a patient's life. The study aimed to determine the effect of chronic haemodynamic trauma on the structural reorganisation of human heart valves. A total of 1377 human heart valves were evaluated, which were obtained during valve prosthetics at the Amosov National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery from 2010 to 2022. The study identified a full range of macro- and microscopic changes in morphological structures that are characteristic of rheumatic heart disease, infective endocarditis, dysplastic and destructive changes in heart valves. The set of all morphological features was combined into the algorithm “Morphological manifestations of acquired heart disease of different genesis”. It has been established that changes in the mitral valve architecture can cause the transformation of its structural components, which causes a violation of the valve's functional capabilities. The study demonstrated that persistent changes associated with chronic haemodynamic injury reduce the mechanical strength of the valve, despite the compensatory mechanism of subendothelial smooth muscle fibre hyperplasia in the heart valve leaflets. Subsequently, these damages can, on the one hand, be complicated by fibrosis, fatty degeneration and calcification, and on the other hand, compensatory mechanisms are involved in the process, namely hyperplasia of subendothelial muscle cells, which often form continuous layers that should strengthen and strengthen the mechanical strength and thus the functional competence of the valves. Mitral valve dysplasia can develop secondary infective endocarditis, rheumatism, and degenerative valve disease. The algorithm for determining the patterns of morphological changes in the valvular apparatus of the heart in various variants of acquired defects of inflammatory and non-inflammatory genesis can be used to improve the etiopathogenetic drug treatment of patients with acquired heart disease, as well as a theoretical basis for the development of new types of valve-preserving operations

This paper explores the influence of socio-economic status on the education performance of male and female students in Bosnia and Herzegovina, utilizing data from the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The study defines key terms such as education, socio-economic status, and international student assessments, emphasizing the significance of a quality educational system for societal development. By employing three models for science literacy, mathematics, and reading, the results indicate that parents' education and possession of cultural goods significantly impact student achievements. Students with higher-educated parents and who possess more books at home perform better in PISA tests. The gender variable however is found not to be statistically significant. The study emphasizes the significance of a "quiet study space", suggesting that students with such an environment achieve higher science test scores. While causality is not established, the analysis provides insights into the initial impact of socio-economic status on student achievements. The paper advocates for continued participation in international assessments project like PISA to monitor educational achievements and inform evidence-based policy making. The findings underscore practical implications for educational policymakers, and recommendations to enhance Bosnia and Herzegovina's educational system.
