Authors: Wulan Sari Ni Made Ayu , Wisuda I Wayan Prasetya
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Mitral annular dysjunction (MAD) is a structural abnormality in the mitral valve which can result in various other pathologies such as ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
Case illustration: An incidental finding in a 61 year old woman with mammary carcinoma who underwent trans thoracic echocardiography evaluation, with findings of left atrial dilatation, mild mitral regurgitation, and mitral annular displacement. The patient did not have any significant heart rhythm abnormalities.
Conclusion: MAD is a structural abnormality that is defined as detachment of the continuity of the mitral annulus-left atrial wall with the basal aspect of the posterolateral LV. This is often found in patients with myxomatous mitral valve degeneration and mitral valve prolapse (MVP).

Gangguan fungsi ginjal merupakan komplikasi utama pada pasien sirosis hepatis dengan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas yang tinggi. Acute kidney injury (AKI) merupakan prediktor penting terjadi kematian jangka waktu pendek dan berhubungan dengan prognosis yang buruk. Diagnosis AKI umumnya ditegakkan berdasarkan parameter SCr dan UO. Namun, dalam kondisi darurat penegakan dengan parameter tersebut dapat memperlambat terapi oleh karena peningkatan kadarnya dapat mencapai 24-48 jam setelah pemicu AKI. Biomarker kerusakan ginjal yang telah banyak diteliti adalah urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL), interleukin-18 (IL-18), dan liver type-fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP). Dalam kondisi darurat uNGAL dan L-FABP telah direkomendasikan (2B) untuk diagnosis AKI. IL-18 merupakan sitokin pro-inflamasi yang memegang peranan penting pada AKI yang dapat dipicu salah satunya oleh iskemia. Studi meta analisis menunjukkan IL-18 memiliki sensitivitas 80% dan spesifisitas 88% dalam diagnosis AKI. L-FABP dapat membantu membedakan dari kondisi ATN dengan cut off 25 ng/mL dengan AUC 0.688. uNGAL memiliki akurasi yang lebih tinggi daripada biomarker lain, nilai UAC uNGAL sebesar 0,787, sementara IL-8 dengan AUC 0,711, L-FABP dengan AUC 0,688. Namun, kelemahan dari uNGAL adalah terjadi peningkatan kadar pada perburukan penyakit ginjal kronis, infeksi saluran kemih, dan kanker. Sehingga kadarnya perlu disesuaikan. Biomarker uNGAL, IL-18, dan L-FABP dapat digunakan dalam diagnosis dini kerusakan ginjal yang lebih baik dibandingkan parameter serum kreatinin dan produksi urin.

Published: November 2023

Photolithography is believed to be a complementary technique to large-area printing, allowing for nanometer-scale integration and offering cost-efficiency. For organic electronics though, adapting photolithography is very challenging due to chemical incompatibilities. However, with the help of Alexander Zakhidov, orthogonal resins opened up the prospect of adapting the well-established process of photolithography for organic electronics. Here, we present a hybrid fabrication method for organic electrochemical transistors by combining orthogonal photolithography and inkjet printing, enabling high uniformity and reliability. We demonstrate how the resolution of each process affects the uniformity, and we explore the advantages of this process for device scaling and circuit integration.

The Impact of Choice Overload on Decision Deferral in Cybersecurity
Authors:   University of Central Florida, Alecse Cristian
Published: November 2023

Since a large area of cybersecurity research is technically centered but most cyber incidents are human enabled (Nobles, 2018), a shift in focus towards behavioral issues is imperative to improve the understanding of these problems. Research in behavioral economics shows that cognitive biases can impact the decision-making process. For example, a seminal study conducted by Iyengar and Lepper (2000) reveals that a large array of product options attracted customers to browse, but fewer choices got them to buy. Similar research shows that when presented with a large array of options, customers tend to defer decisions, search for alternatives, or even opt not to choose (Dhar, 1997; Shafir, Simonson and Tversky, 1993). Choice overload bias, also known as over-choice, choice paralysis, or the paradox of choice, describes how individuals get overwhelmed when presented with a large number of options to choose from. While we tend to assume that more choice is a good thing (Ryan and Deci, 2001), behavioral economics related research has shown that people have a harder time choosing from a larger array of options (Chernev, Böckenholt and Goodman, 2015). This study translates extant behavioral economics based research on choice overload from various disciplines (e.g., business, public administration, medical science, sociology) and explores its impact on cybersecurity.

Published: November 2023

Conditions with gradual loss of vision leading to blindness, is considered as Timira (Myopic Astigmatism). The clinical features of timira are dominated by the type of dosha vitiated where as the severity of the disease is dependant upon the number of patalas involved. As per Acharya Vagbhatta Drishti Mandal of Netra is developed from Kapha and Rakta[1]. Drishti Indriya is also developed from Teja Mahabhuta[2]. A case study of Timira Roga had been taken for understanding the effect of Vidhha Karma in Timira roga presented by a 21-year old female who came to Shalakya Netra roga OPD in  Dr. D.Y. Patil College of Ayurved & Research Centre, Pimpri, Pune – 18 of Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, Pimpri, Pune (Deemed to be University), Maharashtra, India. Alochaka pitta is situated in netra. Rakta dhatu is the ashray sthana of pitta dosha as per ashrayaashrayi bhaav. In Timira roga, vitiated dosha which is located at the patala comes out with the rakta by the help of sira-vedhana. Sira vedhana or viddha karma causes samprapti- bhang of timira roga and gives clear vision to the patient. In vidhha karma, avyakta rakta srava is always attained, therefore vidhha karma is useful in timira roga.

Published: November 2023

Coastal saline soils in the West Bengal region present intricate challenges to agricultural productivity, primarily stemming from the limited availability of high-quality irrigation water. To address this issue, potential solutions encompass the utilization of saline water through appropriate irrigation techniques and schedules. This study investigates the synergistic effects of combining saline and fresh water via tillage practices and the selection of salt-resistant crop varieties. The experiment comprises eight treatment combinations, each replicated four times, involving the application of both saline and fresh water using 10-liter capacity pitchers placed strategically between four plants. Additionally, two distinct tillage methods, conventional and mulch, are employed. The chosen crop variety for experimentation is Bullet lanka-3 variety. The results underscore substantial enhancements in both soil physicochemical properties when implementing diverse pitcher irrigation methods alongside varying tillage strategies. These improvements contribute to ameliorated soil conditions and heightened nutrient accessibility, consequently fostering crop growth and yield. Noteworthy gains are observed in chili production, with yields ranging from 4.04 t ha-1 to 8.81t ha-1 across the initial seven harvesting intervals, in comparison to the control plot. This research sheds light on innovative techniques to mitigate the challenges posed by coastal saline soils, paving the way for improved agricultural sustainability and productivity.

Published: November 2023

Lake Ciburuy area is highly impacted by a wide range of human activities, including residential areas, rice fields, animal husbandry, plantations, dense vehicular traffic, and various industries, leading to the accumulation of pollutants. Particulates generated by the anthropogenic activities will be carried away and settle with the eroded soil to become sediment in the lake. This could cause serious problems in the aquatic environment if there is no monitoring study. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the anthropogenic material produced by human activities using physical and chemical properties analyses and pollution index calculations. The analysis of physical properties showed that Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), and magnetic susceptibility were within the range of 30 – 790 µS/cm, 29 – 555 mg/L, 7.310 – 3431.956 ×10-8 m3/kg, respectively. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the hysteresis parameter indicated that the samples contain ferrimagnetic materials, particularly magnetite with a mixture of Pseudo-Single Domain (PSD) and Multi-Domain (MD). The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) identified the morphology of the magnetic mineral with different shapes, such as octahedral and spherule. Furthermore, the spherule shape indicated the presence of anthropogenic materials in the sample. In terms of chemical properties, this study measured the pH and Potential Toxic Elements (PTEs) in the sediments. The pH ranged from 7.2-8.9, while the PTEs showed moderate to very severe levels of contamination by Mn, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Cu, which exceeded the sediment quality standard. The PCA reveals the interconnection between physical and chemical properties, which can identify pollutants derived from anthropogenic materials, as well as indicate low, medium, and high levels of pollution in the lake area.

To increase the insulating properties of elastomeric half-masks, it is suggested to perforate the obturator in the area of the nasal bridge, chin and cheeks, which allows for adjustment in its size, thus preventing the occurrence of wrinkles on the user’s face in the areas which are the individual features of a particular user’s face. Three versions of the perforated filter respirator obturator have been proposed: in the first, the holes are made along the entire perimeter of the obturator; in the second, the holes are only in the area of the cheeks and nasal bridge; in the third, incisions with a diameter of 5 mm are made in the area of the nasal bridge and cheeks. The result of modelling a set of alternative solutions taking into account the coefficient of protection of filter respirator half-masks, the distribution of compressive forces, which are determined in the environment of the packages “ANSYS” and “Solid works”, has been obtained on the basis of main indicators of the proposed models. To make a decision on choosing the best model, the mass of the elastomeric half mask, its dimensions and the complexity of the design were additionally considered. On the basis of expert evaluation, according to the described procedure for determining the utility function of the factors from their values, it has been defined that the second model of the half-mask is characterized by the best parameters. Conducted laboratory studies to determine the aerosol absorption coefficient by the obturation line showed the lowest indicator in the second option.

Published: November 2023

The Mangole-Taliabu Archipelago has great potential for natural gas exploration due to its many active natural gas seepages. The limited natural gas exploration activities initiated during the last three decades led to a lack of publications on source rock and natural gas geochemistry. Previous research has postulated that the potential source rocks in this area and its surroundings are the Buya and Salodik formations, and known active natural gas seepages are hypothesised to originate from humic organic matter (type-III kerogen). The research aims to review and re-discuss the geochemical characteristics of potential source rock, the origins and genetics of natural gas seepages, and the correlation between natural gas seepage and source rocks by integrating the existing data with the newly collected data. This research revealed that the potential source rock is the Bobong Formation, aside from the previously confirmed Buya Formation, while the Salodik Formation is not a potential source rock as was suggested in previous publications. The most significant research finding is the type of natural gas seepage which found not only coal-derived gas but also oil-type gas. The calculated Ro of the coal-derived gas source rock is 0.80% – 1.00% and that of oil-type gas source rock ranges between 0.50% – 1.31%. For gas–source rock correlation, the Bobong Formation appears to be the most likely source for RAG/88/012 and RAG/88/014 gas samples, while the Buya Formation is the source for Binono Seep, RA/21/33, RA/21/34, and RA/21/35 gas samples. The new research findings are hoped to have significant implications for increasing the understanding of the petroleum system and encouraging further exploration activities.

Published: November 2023

The use of the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technique has become very advantageous with the development of GNSS positioning technology. It is possible to get highly accurate position information without the need of any reference station data using the PPP technique. However, there are various factors that affect the accuracy of PPP solutions, including the initial phase ambiguity solution type, which can be fixed or float, atmospheric effects, observation length, used satellite systems, and used precise products. The Canadian Spatial Reference System-Precise Point Positioning (CSRS-PPP) service, one of the online PPP services, was updated on October 20th, 2020, and upgraded to version 3, capable of the Ambiguity-Fixed (PPP-AR) solution. Prior to this date, the service had offered the Ambiguity-Float (PPP-Float) solution. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of using different satellite systems (GPS, GPS&GLONASS), length of observation time, static/kinematic processing modes, and initial phase ambiguity solution types on PPP accuracy. The daily observation data of ANKR, ISTA, IZMI, MERS, and KRS1 IGS GNSS stations located within the borders of Türkiye, divided into different sub-sessions (1-hour, 2-hours, 4-hours, 8-hours, and 12-hours) were processed using CSRS-PPP web-based service as PPP-Float before the update and PPP-AR after the update. As a result of the comparison, the combined use of GPS & GLONASS satellite systems instead of using GPS satellites alone has increased horizontal and vertical accuracy in both static/kinematic PPP-Float and PPP-AR solutions. Considering the static solutions, horizontal and vertical position accuracies increase as the observation time increases in both ambiguity solution methods using different constellations. In the case of comparison of the ambiguity solution methods, it was found that the PPP-AR approach offered higher accuracy than the PPP-Float in all solution cases.

Published: November 2023

Background. It is known that the outcomes of patients treatment with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are significantly influenced by the state of the patient’s body, the nature of the pathogen, the state of tissues in the area of the infectious focus and the treatment tactics. However, topographic and anatomical features of the blood supply to the knee and hip joints, as well as the volume of soft tissues, can affect the spectrum of pathogens, manifestations of the infectious process and, as a consequence, the effectiveness of treatment.
The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the somatic status of patients, the etiology of the infectious process and the effectiveness of treatment of PJI depending on its localization.
Methods. A single-center retrospective study was conducted. The cases of 337 patients were studied — 119 patients with knee and 218 patients with hip PJI who underwent treatment with a two-stage technique during the period from 2007 to 2017. A comparative analysis of the PJI pathogens structure and concomitant pathology between patients with hip and knee PJI was carried out. The frequency of infection relief in the groups following the first stage was counted.
Results. Recurrence was diagnosed four times more frequently in patients with hip PJI compared to knee PJI. Risk factors for recurrence were gram-negative pathogens, microbial associations, and fistulous forms of the infectious process. Localization of the infectious process in the hip area was associated with a statistically significant greater volume of blood loss during the prolonged debridement surgery.
Conclusion. Recurrences of PJI occur more frequently in the hip area compared to the knee joint. Further analysis of critical factors in recurrence development is necessary for potential intervention.

Currently, according to federal recommendations, patients with diffuse toxic goiter in the absence of remission of the disease performed extirpation of the thyroid gland. The results of the study of the effect of apoptosis and proliferation proteins in thyrocytes (Ki-67, Bcl-2, Bax, Fas-L, caspase-8) on postoperative outcomes in patients operated on for diffuse toxic goiter. A positive correlation was found between the concentration of antibodies to the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor with the preoperative thyroid volume and the level of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, as well as the inverse relationship with the area of the follicles, which may reflect a slowing of apoptosis and an increase in proliferative activity Thyroid cells. In patients with diffuse toxic goiter with postoperative relapse of thyrotoxicosis, high activity of the Bcl-2 apoptosis suppressor protein and the violation of the Bcl-2/Bax ratio were established. In patients with postoperative thyrotoxicosis, a significantly greater expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein was found, 3,13±0,29%, compared with patients who developed hypothyroidism after surgery of 1,24±0,29% and who maintained euthyroidism – 1,36±0,25%. There was also an inverse correlation between the level of antibodies to thyreperoxidase and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, as well as the Ki-67 proliferation marker. When carrying out discriminant analysis between groups with postoperative hypothyroidism and thyrotoxicosis, the main variable was the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein and between the groups with postoperative euthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis – the Ki67 proliferation protein. With a Bcl-2 value of more than 2.19 and a proliferation protein of Ki-67 greater than 1,059, the probability of postoperative thyrotoxicosis is 87,5% for each.
Coherent Spatial Variations in the Productivity of Earthquake Sequences in California and Nevada
Authors: Trugman Daniel T. , Ben-Zion Yehuda
Published: November 2023

Earthquakes are clustered in space and time, with individual sequences composed of events linked by stress transfer and triggering mechanisms. On a global scale, variations in the productivity of earthquake sequences—a normalized measure of the number of triggered events—have been observed and associated with regional variations in tectonic setting. Here, we focus on resolving systematic variations in the productivity of crustal earthquake sequences in California and Nevada—the two most seismically active states in the western United States. We apply a well-tested nearest-neighbor algorithm to automatically extract earthquake sequence statistics from a unified 40 yr compilation of regional earthquake catalogs that is complete to M ∼ 2.5. We then compare earthquake sequence productivity to geophysical parameters that may influence earthquake processes, including heat flow, temperature at seismogenic depth, complexity of quaternary faulting, geodetic strain rates, depth to crystalline basement, and faulting style. We observe coherent spatial variations in sequence productivity, with higher values in the Walker Lane of eastern California and Nevada than along the San Andreas fault system in western California. The results illuminate significant correlations between productivity and heat flow, temperature, and faulting that contribute to the understanding and ability to forecast crustal earthquake sequences in the area.

Published: November 2023

Gastrointestinal (GI) metastases masquerading as Crohn’s years after treated lobular carcinoma of breast is a diagnostic challenge. In some cases, the interval between the primary breast cancer and gastrointestinal metastasis is so long (3-20 years) that the medical records for diagnosis including history might be missed. The susceptibility of invasive lobular cancer (ILC) to metastasize to gut is many times greater than invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) (4.5% versus 0.2%, respectively). We report the case of lobular breast carcinoma metastasizing to the terminal ileum and ileocecal junction 7 years following treatment of right sided lobular breast cancer in 60 plus-year-old women. Radiological and endoscopic findings can be difficult to distinguish from inflammatory bowel disease or from primary carcinoma of the GI tract. Histopathological and immunochemistry assessments usually help in reaching the diagnosis. A high index of suspicion and awareness regarding such presentations can help in making an accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment planning.

Published: November 2023

Over the past decades, Afghanistan has encountered several serious healthcare difficulties. One of these occurrences, a lethal endemic of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), hit Afghanistan in 1998. A broad assessment of the literature reveals a number of characteristics that put the people of Afghanistan at a very high risk of developing CCHF. First off, the nation's poor healthcare system is now ill-equipped to handle difficulties of this kind. Medical institutions and healthcare personnel lack the necessary tools to correctly diagnose, treat, and prevent CCHF. Second, a significant percentage of people is ignorant about the vector's propagation and methods of control. Afghanistan has a major agricultural industry, and as a result, many individuals are active in caring for animals and handling cattle, which can result in the spread of the CCHF virus. Finally, during the past 20 years of the republican government of Afghanistan after the initial tenure of the Taliban's government as a result of the Afghan war, a sizable number of Afghan refugees returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan, a nation where CCHF is endemic. This increased Afghanistan's vulnerability. This literature review identifies probable causes of high-risk CCHF and offers suggestions that Afghan policy-makers may desire to take into account in order to ameliorate the existing situation.

Introducción: el estiramiento aumenta el arco de movimiento. Las técnicas de facilitación han demostrado su efectividad, sin embargo, no está claro el tiempo a usarse para tal fin. Objetivo: estimar la eficacia de los diferentes tiempos de aplicación de la técnica de facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva, sostener-relajar, sobre los rangos de movilidad de rodilla en adultos jóvenes sanos. Metodología: ensayo clínico controlado aleatorizado, doble ciego, en el que participaron 34 adultos jóvenes, con edad entre 20 y 37 años. La evaluación de la flexibilidad de la rodilla se realizó bilateralmente usando como punto de referencia el ángulo poplíteo a través de videografía, usando el software Kinovea. Seguidamente, los sujetos fueron aleatorizados y asignados a 3 grupos de intervención de estiramiento con la técnica sostener-relajar: el primero de 21 segundos, el segundo 15 segundos y el tercer grupo control. Para estimar la eficacia de la intervención se utilizó un modelo lineal generalizado (familia: normal, enlace: identidad). Resultados: en los grupos de intervención con tiempos de 21 segundos (grupo 1) y 15 segundos (grupo 2), los valores promedio y desviación estándar en la valoración inicial de la línea base y valoración final posterior a la intervención, evidencian la ganancia significativa del ángulo poplíteo bilateralmente tanto del grupo 1 como del grupo 2 en comparación con el grupo control. Conclusiones: la ejecución del protocolo de facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva “sostener-relajar” con tiempos diferentes, mostró que el de 21 segundos no tiene mayor superioridad al de 15 segundos, pero son superiores al control.

The overall aim of this scoping review is to present empirical studies regarding how the Nordic model has been investigated in relation to management in international companies. The subse quent objective is to discuss the model’s robustness regarding internationalization. The question raised is how the Nordic model, in relation to management, is configured in empirical studies undertaken in international corporations. Using systematic literature searches to examine peer- reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2022, 15 out of 972 studies were eligible for a full review. Primarily, one facet of the model was investigated: workplace democracy. Foreign-owned companies operating in Nordic countries partly adopted the model, whereas the model was implemented to some extent in Nordic-owned companies abroad. Management’s support and employee involvement were considered important. This review indicates that there is pressure on the model, although it has extended beyond the Nordic border and appears to be adaptable to global working life.

Published: November 2023

This paper presents an analysis of three current color perception models CIECAM97, CIECAM02 and the Belyaeva-Matveev model and then compares their visual component. The definition of the Belyaeva-Matveev, CIECAM02 and CIECAM97 models is presented, the mathematical aspect of the Belyaeva-Matveev model is explained and the main points of the construction of an algorithm for its realization are described. The algorithm is written in Matlab programming language, which includes a plug-in for synthetic image processing - Image Processing Toolbox. Implementation of the algorithms of the Belyaeva-Matveev, CIECAM02 and CIECAM97 models involves the transition to new observation conditions: from the given initial conditions of creating a synthetic image with the primary values of brightness and color of the object and the background to viewing the image on the monitor screen. In the comparison one and the same initial image passes three algorithms of the investigated models of color perception and, as a result, we can compare the obtained images under the same observation conditions. According to these results we can judge which of the models has the smallest deviation in the accuracy of color and sensation transfer.
Differentiable Procedural Models for Single-view 3D Mesh Reconstruction

Published: November 2023

Most of the existing solutions for single-view 3D object reconstruction rely on deep learning techniques that use implicit or voxel representations of the scene. However, these approaches struggle to generate detailed and high-quality meshes and textures that can be directly applied in practical applications. On the other hand, differentiable rendering techniques can produce superior mesh quality, but they typically require multiple images of the object. We propose a novel approach to single-view 3D reconstruction that leverages procedural generator input parameters as a scene representation. Instead of directly estimating the vertex positions of the mesh, we estimate the input parameters of a procedural generator by minimizing the silhouette loss function between reference and rendered images. By employing differentiable rendering and differentiable procedural generators, we can optimize the loss function using gradients. This enables us to create highly detailed models from a single image.

Published: November 2023

Modern automotive paints have a complex structure and consist of a variety of pigments including the solid ones. There are many tasks related to the correct color reproduction of the automotive paints. But the most practical one is the color matching: obtaining of paint composition needed to get the specified color. This task can be solved with help of lighting simulation inside paint structure. But we have to know optical properties of the paint pigments to do so. In the paper we propose and verify robustness of several different methods to extract pigment properties from the measured BRDFs. All methods are based on fitting of calculated visual appearance to the measured one. The methods differ in sets of the real paint samples which have to be prepared to extract pigment data. We describe operation of the methods and verify their robustness. It happened that among proposed methods one is much more accurate, while others produced significant errors.
Performance of ParaView Grids for Reservoir Models Visualization
Authors: Kovalevskiy Oleg , Cancelliere Michel
Published: November 2023

Interactive visualization of subterranean formations models is essential for reservoir engineering. ParaView is a good option - it is feature rich, performance oriented, cross-platform and free and open-source. One of the popular formats for reservoir model storage is GRDECL, which fits well with the nature of the reservoir data and yet is memory efficient. ParaView deals with more generic data formats such as image, structured and unstructured grids, polygonal data. GRDECL reservoir data format has features of both structured and unstructured ParaView grids. However, none of them ideally fit. Using structured grid is very economical, but it can lead to losing some information. Unstructured grid provides precise display, however, requires much more resources. This study illustrates quantitative difference between visualizations based on these two grid types and gives considerations for their application.

Published: November 2023

In the present study, non-contact techniques for estimating the deformation of a sheet specimen of aluminium alloy AA5051 (AMg2) subjected to Erichsen cupping test are considered. It is shown that it is possible to get reliable information by numerical simulation, however, for the case when the coefficients of the yield and fracture equations of the material are well-known and validated. This requires the application of confirmatory techniques based on the results of real experiments, for example, through optical 3D-scanning. The realization of the techniques requires the observance of the peculiarities of working with them in terms of specimen preparation. The combined technique of speckle interferometry and digital image correlation allows estimating deformations on the outer linear surfaces, but does not indicate deformations of products with curved surfaces and inside the specimen, which requires an additional determination of deformation fields by numerical simulation.
