A Data-Driven Reduced Order Model for Rotor Optimization
Authors: Peters Nicholas , Silva Christopher , Ekaterinaris John
Published: October 2022

Abstract. For rotor design applications, such as wind turbine rotor or Urban Air Mobility (UAM) rotorcraft and flying car design, there is a significant challenge in quickly and accurately modeling rotors operating in complex turbulent flow fields. One potential path for deriving high-fidelity but low-cost rotor performance predictions is available through the application of data-driven surrogate modeling. In this study, an initial investigation is undertaken to apply a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) based reduced order model (ROM) for predicting rotor distributed loads. The POD ROM was derived based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results and utilized to produce distributed pressure predictions on rotor blades subjected to topology change due to variations in twist and taper ratio. Rotor twist, θ, was varied between 0°, 10°, 20°, and 30° while taper ratio, λ, was varied as 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, and 0.7. For a demonstration of the approach, all rotors consisted of a single blade. The POD ROM was validated for three operation cases; a high pitch or a high thrust rotor in hover, a low pitch or a low thrust rotor in hover, and a rotor in forward flight at a low speed resembling wind turbine operation with wind shear. Results showed highly accurate distributed load predictions could be achieved and the resulting surrogate model can predict loads at a minimal computational cost. The computational cost for the hovering blade surface pressure prediction was reduced from 12 hours on 440 cores required for CFD to a fraction of a second on a single core required for POD. For rotor in forward flight cost was reduced from 20 hours on 440 cores to less than a second on a single core. The POD ROM was used to undergo a design optimization of the rotor such that figure of merit was maximized for hovering rotor cases and the lift to drag effective ratio was maximized in forward flight.
The aspect of the Body in the writing On the Soul and the Resurrection of Gregory of Nyssa
Authors: Artemi Eirini
Published: October 2022

The dialogue entitled On the Soul and the Resurrection can be considered as the most important one of Gregory of Nyssa. This work, a dialogue between Gregory himself and his sister Macrina, was modeled on Plato's Phaedo and shows quite clearly the debt our author owes to Plato for his literary form, besides the borrowing of ideas. This paper will examine the connection of the body and the soul. The soul is totally unlike the body in essence, still dwells in it and vivifies it while the body is alive. It coalesces with the union of the bodily elements. But when the body is dissolved in death and its elements return to their own, the soul does not perish with it. Due to its intellectual and dimensionless nature, the soul does not dissolve but survives and remains attached to all the elements which were once crafted into its body. Being dimensionless, the soul is neither contracted nor dispersed as are dimensional things. Hence nothing prevents the soul from remaining present with all of natural elements of its former body, regardless of how they are dispersed. So even in death the soul survives in union with the body’s elements. We will examine how Gregory has been influenced by Platonic and Neo-Platonic ideas about the body and the soul and what are his views about the Body, the soul and Desire and their connections to gender, sex, and sexuality.
Destilar el estilo: hacia una escritura cuasi-trascendental de la materialidad
Authors: Bustos Gajardo Gustavo
Published: October 2022

Avanzar hacia un pensamiento de la materialidad que no tenga por finalidad definir un modo de ser de la materia, no es tarea fácil. Sin embargo, en el contexto de una lectura estereográfica de Jacques Derrida y Werner Hamacher se pretende experimentar la materialidad como la venida de un elemento imposible, indecidible y anárquico que, al objetar la pregunta por la esencia, se inscribe en el sistema especulativo para trastornarlo y desencadenar en, y desde él, un «razonamiento bastardo» capaz de atravesar las envolturas con que la metafísica había separado en lo inteligible mismo lo empírico de lo trascendental.
Que mane la sangre. La politización del dolor como conciencia y resistencia en Adorno
Authors: Gutiérrez-Pozo Antonio
Published: October 2022

Adorno considera que el injusto dolor físico e individual producido por el sistema de dominio ha sido ocultado y silenciado por la filosofía de la identidad hegeliana, por una parte, y por la industria cultural, por otra. Al contrario, Adorno cree que es necesario darle voz, porque esa conciencia, como resistencia que es, es la única esperanza utópica de salvación que tiene la humanidad. Esto es politizar el dolor. Hacerlo es la tarea que asigna al arte auténtico y a la dialéctica negativa.
La muerte y el intercambio “posible”. Más acá de Jean Baudrillard.
Authors: Esteban Ortega Joaquín
Published: October 2022

El presente trabajo, en diálogo con la reflexión de Jean Baudrillard, intenta reconsiderar ontológicamente el no ser para que la oquedad del simulacro no se autoproclame más real que lo real debido a que, como la nada ha sido expropiada y vaciada, el intercambio del mundo y de la vida con ella es imposible. Solo un pensamiento trágico, animado por la agónica energía de su contradicción, puede volver a replantear la reversibilidad de la vida y la muerte.

Concordance of Proteinuria Examination Results using Dipstick Urine, Albumin-Creatinine Ratio, and Immunoassay in Diabetes Mellitus Type-2
Authors: Marihot Sibagariang Charles , Royland Marpaung Ferdy
Published: October 2022

Periodic examination of proteinuria for DM patients is important for the prevention of diabetic nephropathy complications. The most commonly used methods for checking proteinuria today are urine dipstick, albumin-creatinine ratio, and immunoassays. To analyze the suitability of proteinuria examination using a urine Dipstick, Albumin-Creatinine Ratio, and immunoassay. An observational analytic study, cross sectional, conducted in July 2020 - October 2020 at the Dr. Soetomo Surabaya, using urine samples (n = 57) that met the inclusion and exclusion criterias. The suitability test was carried out between the AIM urine dipstick, urine sysmex dipstick, AIM immunoassay and the Sysmex UC 3500 AC Ratio which were analyzed by the Cohen's kappa test. Immunoassay detected the highest proteinuria in 85.96% of type 2 DM patients, followed by AC Ratio (68.42%), AIM Dipstick (52.6%), and Sysmex Dipstick (49.12%). There was a very strong agreement between the AIM Dipstick and the Sysmex Dipstick, κ = 0.86 (p<0.05), a weak agreement between AIM immunoassay examination and Sysmex AC ratio, κ = 0.37 (p<0.05). There is no agreement between the Sysmex urine disptick and AIM immunoassay. There is a low agreement between the AIM Dipstick and the Sysmex AC Ratio. The AIM immunoassay detected microalbuminuria in 10(55.6%) of 18 subjects with negative results on Sysmex. Most immunoassay examinations detect proteinuria in type 2 DM patients. It is advisable to screen proteinuria using an immunoassay examination in type 2 DM patients1. Immunoassay examination can be relied on in screening proteinuria in DM patients. The results showed a very strong agreement using the AIM and the Sysmex dipstick examination. However, there was a weak agreement between the immunoassay examination and the AC ratio.

In many hospitals around the world, antibiotic resistance has reached a crisis. Mainly, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is immune to methicillin, is swamped and many with Gram-negative multidrug-resistant (MDR). The occurrence of carbapenmases for the first time was considered a major problem because of several factors, such as: many plasmids carrying gene resistance elements take on other resistance elements, including QnrA (QnrA and QnrB) and aminoglycoside (rmtB) Resistance elements. For severe MRSA infections, good treatment options are available, death rates continue to be high. The condition is more complicated and disturbing for MDR Gram-negatives. In developing countries, there are few new agents who can profit from the situation in the coming decade . Although the meanings are muddled, some patients in intensive care are thought to die because of the lack of antibiotics effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and A. baumanni. If molecular resistance is to be overcome, additional understanding is needed urgently. We additionally need to install early warning systems to keep pace with new resistances.

Published: October 2022

Подавляющее большинство минерально-сырьевых ресурсов Республики Арме¬ния – это полиметаллические минералы, при разработке которых ценные металлы теряются в производственном цикле из-за несовершенства технологий. В процессе флотации трудно полностью отделить друг от друга сульфидные минералы различ¬ных металлов, а получить концентрат чистого свинца из полиметаллической руды прак¬тически невозможно. На основании вышеизложенного и учитывая технологи¬ческие особенности процессов извлечения меди, цинка, свинца методом обогащения руды из местных полиметаллических минералов, изучены и испытаны возможности наиболее эффективного осаждения полиметаллического концентрата с высоким со¬дер-жанием свинца. Тестируемое вещество представляет собой высокомолекулярный синтетический полиэлектролит на основе сополимеров акриламида. Он хорошо раст¬ворим в воде. Исследуемый реагент способен обеспечить высокую эффективность флокуляции при различных рН среды. Экспериментальным способом показано, как применяемый флокулянт быстро осаждает концентрат в воде, в результате чего полу¬чается чистый декантат. Эксперименты в средах с различными pH и полученные графические изображения позволили подобрать наиболее оптимальные параметры. Флокулянт - средство для очистки воды и восстановления прозрачности, которое собирает мелкие частицы.
В первой части эксперимента были изучены три различных типа флокулянта и выбран тот, который обеспечивал максимальную скорость процесса осаждения. Во второй части эксперимента отдельно изучалось поведение выбранного флокулянта марки Магнафлок 336 в различных рН среды. Результаты экспери¬мента показали, что все три марки флокулянта, прошедшие испытание, положи¬тельно влияют на скорость осаждения концентрата. Показано, что наиболее быст¬рый процесс с получением прозрачного декантата получается при применении флокуланта марки Магнафлок 336. Оптимальный pH среды осаждения равен 11,0. Низкое значе¬ние pH или его дальнейшее повышение способствуют замедлению процесса осаждения частиц.

Authors: Glukhova Evgeniia Aleksandrovna , Kuvshinova Elena Dmitrievna , Revyakina Vera Afanas’evna
Published: October 2022

According to recent data, the key molecules in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis are the cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, which initiate and maintain Th2 inflammation. Targeted therapy with dupilumab inhibits the signaling function of these cytokines by binding to the IL-4Rα subunit, which is part of the IL-4 and IL-13 receptor complexes. The drug is approved for the treatment of patients over 6 years of age with moderate to severe AD. The efficacy and safety of dupilumab have been confirmed by the results of clinical studies. Material and methods. 27 children with severe AD at the age of 8–18 years were under constant supervision. All patients received systemic treatment with dupilumab, topically used topical glucocorticosteroids (if necessary), emollients (twice a day). Dosing of dupilumab was carried out according to the instructions for the drug. Results. After 26 weeks of complex therapy, 96,3% of patients achieved an IGA index value of 0/1 and an improvement of 75% according to the EASI-75 index. The SCORAD index dropped from an average of 78,8 points to 13,7. The average value of total IgE after 6 months decreased by 1518 kU/l. In 2 (7,4%) patients, conjunctivitis was noted, which was not a reason to discontinue the drug. Conclusions. During treatment with dupilumab, there is a significant decrease in the severity of the main symptoms of atopic dermatitis, including itching, exacerbations.

Objective. Based on literature data and own research, on the selection of pediatric patients for the treatment of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) with house dust mite (HDM) allergens, to develop an Algorithm for selecting patients for AIT with HDM allergens in children with bronchial asthma (BA) and allergic rhinitis (AR).
Methods. Data from our own studies included 420 patients with AR and complaints indicating domestic sensitization (256 boys, 164 girls), aged 5 to 17,.9 years (mean age 8,.44 ± 3.,06), of which 176 have had BA. Patients underwent skin prick tests (SPT) with household allergens, determination of sIgE for HDM allergens by the ImmunoCAP method, and nasal provocative test (NPT) with HDM. If the results were negative, the allergological examination was repeated again in 12-–18 months.
Results: The Patient Selection Algorithm was constructed on the basis of the obtained data on the significance of the examination methods used. The primary role of SPT, the possibility of repeating the examination in case of negative results, indications for NPT with HDM allergens were taken into account. The algorithm makes it possible to organize an examination of a patient with HDM allergy in order to develop indications for AIT.

Introduction: It is believed that if the child ate only a cow’s milk formula (CMF), and сow's milk allergy is the only possible at the age of <6 months. This approach leads to erroneous treatment tactics.
Presentation of the clinical case: a child aged 3 months with the debut of atopic dermatitis (AtD) of light degree (on the scale of the assessment of the researcher IGA 2). The patient was fed on artificial with a CMF from 1,5 months. Infant was examined at the place of residence. The CMF was changed to full hydrolysis CMF and without examination. Additionally, cosmetics were applied to the skin as needed. The child was examined by an allergologist after 3-4 weeks of diet. Negative dynamics were observed. Atopic dermatitis has become moderately severe with secondary infection complications (IGA 3, 50% affected skin). Prick-tests with allergens of milk, eggs, wheat, fish were carried out. High sensitization to egg and controversial to cow’s milk was found. The results were clarified during enzyme immunoassay: IgE ovomucoid – 0.78 IU/ml (norm <0.3 IU/ml); cow's milk 0.01 kUA/ l; casein – 0.01 kUA / l (norm <0.1 kUA/l).
Considering the infected AtD, "hydrocortisone + natamycin + neomycin" 2 times a day was used in the therapy. Cosmetics on infected foci was canceled, while maintaining the treatment of dry unaffected skin. It is recommended to limit household contacts with eggs. After 2 weeks, the rash is residual (IGA 0-1). The cow’s milk formula was returned to the diet without exacerbations of the skin process.
Conclusion: The case illustrates that sensitization in children can begin and be maintained without oral ingestion of the allergen. Sensitization at the age of up to 6 months is likely with a moderate – severe recurrent course of dermatitis. A specific allergological examination can be conduct with a developed disease at an early age. Skin tests and enzyme immunoassay are applicable in infants. The appointment of a diet without examination is unreasonable and should not be used.

Study on the Risk Contagion Effect of Energy Supply Chain Finance under the "Double Carbon" Target
Authors: Hui Jiaxin
Published: October 2022

The realization of the "double carbon" target will have a great impact on the contagion effect of supply chain finance risk in the energy market. The article uses social network model and GARCH model to study the contagion effect of energy supply chain finance risk from both enterprise creditworthiness and economic environment. The social network model is used to analyze the degree of differentiation of the supply chain network and the correlation between node enterprises before and after the implementation of the "double carbon" target, using the asset-liability ratio of enterprises as the default risk indicator. The GARCH model was used to empirically analyze the risk contagion effect between CSI energy and Shanghai and Shenzhen stock indices from the perspective of economic environment. The study found that there is a significant correlation and contagion effect between the financial risks of silicon energy enterprises, and the enterprises with higher creditworthiness are less affected by the implementation of the "double carbon" target plan, and the supply chain network is more obviously centralized by the "double carbon" target. The results of GARCH model show that the energy market is influenced by the external economic environment and there is risk contagion effect between markets. Based on the results of the GARCH model, we provide policy recommendations for supply chain risk prevention and control.
High Rate of Revision Surgery After Limited Decompression of Lumbar Facet Cysts

Published: October 2022

Introduction:

The surgical treatment of lumbar facet cysts has long been debated. Some surgeons elect for limited decompression of such cysts while other surgeons elect for primary decompression and fusion over concerns for recurrence and instability. Previous studies have suggested the rate of revision surgery after facet cyst excision to be as low as 1%, whereas others have reported this rate to be markedly higher. In this study, we examined revision surgery rates and patient-reported outcomes and conducted a radiographic analysis to identify predictors of failure after limited decompression of lumbar facet cysts.

Methods:

A retrospective review of the electronic medical records of patients treated at our institution using the Current Procedural Terminology code 63267 before January 2018 was conducted. The primary outcome measure was revision surgery at the index level for recurrence or instability or a minimum 2-year follow-up without revision surgery. Secondary outcome measures include radiographic assessments of preoperative and postoperative spondylolisthesis and patient-reported outcome measures. Using preoperative MRI studies, an analysis of facet angles at the surgical level was conducted and the presence, location, and amount of facet fluid were calculated.

Results:

A total of 162 patients met inclusion criteria. Of these, 93 patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up. Of these, 19 had undergone a revision surgery at the index level for cyst recurrence or instability. The revision rate for this group was 20.4%. The median time to initial revision surgery was 2.2 years. The median time from index operation to last follow-up was 3.8 years. No differences were observed between the groups regarding the presence of preoperative spondylolisthesis, age, sex, body mass index, blood loss, or patient demographics. 60.2% of all procedures were done at the L4-5 level, but this level accounted for 73.7% of primary failures. A radiographic analysis showed facet angle >45° at L4-5 to be associated with risk of failure of primary decompression. The presence and absolute amount of fluid in the facets were not associated with risk of failure at the L4-5 level.

Discussion:

Our revision rate of 20.4% is higher than what is commonly reported in the literature. The radiographic analysis shows that at the L4-5 level, a facet angle of >45° is associated with failure of primary decompression.
Crisis-Ridden Heteronormativity and Homonormativity in Djuna Barnes's Nightwood
Authors: Whybrew Simon Daniel
Published: October 2022

Nightwood transgresses and undermines binary conceptions of gender and with them the distinction between hetero- and homosexual relationships. I seek to determine whether the failure of the relationships in the novel can be viewed as a criticism of the heteronormative constraints that are shown to permeate both the heterosexual and the homosexual partnerships in the novel. Consequently, it is argued that the failure of these relationships signifies the failure of the underlying heteronormative structures. The novel reveals not only the constructed nature of this system but also the limiting and ultimately destructive effects that it has on the relationships of those who try to live up to its stipulations. To illustrate this, I utilize the concepts of heteronormativity and homonormativity in conjunction with Judith Butler’s conception of gender performance. Using these concepts, I demonstrate not only that all of the relationships in the novel reproduce the same heteronormative structures but also that this has disastrous effects on those relationships, which in turn is shown to reveal the failure of the heteronormative order.

The article presents data on epidemiological features of chicken eimeriasis in poultry farms in northern regions of the Republic of Armenia – Gegharkunik, Tavush, Shirak, and Lori. According to research data, chicken eimeriasis is widespread in target areas (extensiveness of the Eimeria infection was equal to 22.55%, 34.1%, 27.27%, and 30.86% respectively), and often occurs as a mixed invasion with ascariasis, capillariasis, and syngamosis. Eimeria necatrix is the most prevalent Eimeria species in all targeted regions. Eimeria acervulina is the least common species in Armenia. The pattern of Eimeria species distribution was the same for all the regions. It does not depend on climatic and natural condition, as well as on poultry breed. Poultry eimeriasis is generally registered among chickens of 10 to 180 days of age, while one of the pronounced and frequently occurring pathomorphological changes is hemorrhagic inflammation of the caeca mucous membranes. The extensiveness of eimeriasis depends both on the climatic and geographical features of the region, and on the conditions of the poultry keeping, which must be taken into account when carrying out a complex of preventive, veterinary and sanitary measures.

In order to compare the level of drought resistance of fifteen Armenian and Iranian wheat varieties, the seeds were tested for 28 hours under drought stress and non-stress (controlled) conditions. Polyethylene Glycol 6000 (PEG6000) was used to preparing artificial drought conditions. Also we evaluate relative water content (RWC) and also expression level of Wdhn13 and WCS120 DHN genes by using reverse transcription PCR. According to the results, Navid, Sabala, Zare, and Voskehask varieties were highly resistant. The process of gene expression in these varieties began in the early hours, when the percentage of water content was still high. Reaching the peak in the 24th hour, it later began to decline slowly. In the second place were Azar 2, Sateni 22, and Akhtamar which could not maintain the high level of expression was decreased in the 24th hour. Sardari, Alvand, Pishgam, Nairi 68, and Armyanka 60 were in the third place, as the expression level decreased in those varieties already in the 18th hour. And Mihan, D92 և G31 were evaluated as sensitive varieties, because the expression of their genes began when the percentage of water content began to decrease. In these varieties, the decrease was noticeable already in the 12th hour. These two experiments together allow us to determine the resistance of varieties and by studying the mechanism of proteins for abiotic stresses, give us the ability to create resistant genotypes, improve the resistance of the genotypes, and obtain high yield characteristics.

The main indicators of macroeconomic development in European countries are analyzed. Under the influence of the pandemic, the GDP of highly developed countries have been decreased most rapidly, the inflation index was higher in countries with an average level of development. Comparison of the dynamics of industrial production of food products with other industries (on the example of Ukraine) is showed that the food sector is more resistant to the negative effects of the pandemic. The annual growth rate of the export value of the main food groups in European countries is estimated. The most vulnerable to the negative phenomena of the pandemic was the export of meat products. The negative factors of the impact of the global pandemic on the food sector have been studied: rising prices; complex logistics; reduction in the number of personnel, decrease in labor productivity. A well-thought-out food policy can reduce the negative effects of the pandemic.

The great achievements of the oil production and refining industries are accompanied by a constant influx of oil polluting substances into the soil, reservoirs and other environmental objects. Due to their toxic effects, great damage is caused to agriculture, arable land is decommissioned, and the functioning of aquatic ecosystems and life on the planet as a whole are disrupted. Oil-producing microorganisms play a leading role in cleaning oilcontaminated ecosystems. Currently, the most promising methods of bioremediation of objects of the external environment with the help of biologics based on microorganisms capable of using organic pollutants as carbon sources are proposed. In this article, the separation of Aboriginal strains from oil-contaminated soil and their identification were carried out.

The research aims to investigate I.I. Kazi`s work, Adventures of the Brown Girl in her Search for God (1933), as an encountered discourse to atheism which is portrayed in Shaw`s work, the Adventures of Black Girl in Her Search of God (1932). The researcher also aims to analyze the characters of both stories under the light of theoretical framework. The researcher applies Sam Hariss, an atheist manifesto, to evaluate the selected data from Shaw's work and Islamic theory in the light of Quran is used to counter the discourse of Shaw. In current research, atheistic characters of G.B. Shaw`s story are encountered with theist characters of I.I. Kazi with the help of theoretical framework to understand the Concept of God. The researcher, in his research, states that I.I Kazi with the help of Brown girl and other characters of his story reject atheistic approach which Shaw has displayed in his work, The Adventure of Black Girl in Her Search for God. The researcher, in his research, also deconstructs the atheistic notion with the help of Brown Girl and theoretical framework. In addition, this research portrays the state of conflict between two concepts, Theism and Atheism. These two concepts have been discussed widely all over the world for many decades. In this research, the works of Allama I.I Kazi and G.B Shaw lead students to be cognizant of these ideologies. Along with this, research helps the students regarding the existence of God in the minds of those who raise questions of God's creation and His supremacy.

Published: October 2022

Over the past two decades, fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS) have become a policy priority for international development actors. As a result, a range of new approaches and instruments to FCS have emerged, focused on upstream prevention; building institutions; generating security, justice and jobs; fostering inclusive national ownership; and strengthening international coordination. In a growing subset of FCS, however, these principles and practices cannot be applied. More than 49 percent of people in FCS now live in situations where relations between major donors and national authorities are ‘politically estranged’. This research paper draws together quantitative analysis, donor interviews and diverse examples from countries where relations between donors and national authorities are or have been estranged. It identifies emerging best practice and strategic shifts in donor approaches to help to reflect the new reality. The paper and accompanying policy brief were produced as part of a joint project between Chatham House and New York University’s Center on International Cooperation. The project examines the political and practical barriers to staying engaged in politically estranged situations and proposes options for donors and multilateral actors to use in overcoming those barriers.

Medicinal plants have been the basis of treatment of various diseases by man over the years and a large portion of the world population are depending on the use of traditional medicine. Medicinal plants are known to be source of bioactive compounds that have therapeutic values, the World Health Organization (WHO) encourages the inclusion of herbal medicine in health care because of the great potential they possess. In this research work five different medicinal plants were subjected to antimicrobial study against Klebsiella pneumonia and Candida albicans at different concentrations. The plants were extracted using hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol. The ethyl acetate extract of Parinari curatellifolia exhibited better antibacterial activity than the other extracts at all concentrations, having 26.00±0.00 mm zone of inhibition at 100.00 mg/ml concentration. The ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Hilleria latifolia exhibited the highest zone of inhibition against Candida albicans, having zone of inhibition value of 20.00±0.00 mm at 100.00 mg/ml concentration. None of the extracts exhibited higher zone of inhibition than the standard drugs used. The study has shown that Parinari curatellifolia is a better antimicrobial agent against infections caused by Candida albicans and Klebsiella pneumonia.
