SYSTEMATIZATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL MEASURES ON LABOR SAFETY IN ORGANIZATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL PREPARATION OF REPAIR AND CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTION
Authors: Korol Elena , Domozhilov Viktor , Shelopaeva Yuliya
Published: June 2022

The organization and performance of work in the construction industry, the building materials industry and the construction industry are carried out with the mandatory requirements for compliance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on labor protection and the relevant regulatory legal acts, the list of which is periodically updated. They are closely related to the improvement of the system of regulatory and technical documents, since scientific and technological progress in the construction industry leads to the creation and development of new industries, materials, technologies, construction equipment and instrumentation, the formation of new approaches to the arrangement of workplaces, production conditions workers. In addition to new construction, the processes of modernization of existing buildings are actively taking place, programs are being implemented for the overhaul of buildings and the renovation of urban areas. Changing production conditions, requirements for the culture of production when carrying out repair and construction work in the conditions of operated buildings, construction in dense urban areas during the implementation of renovation programs require constant improvement and measures to create safe working conditions and working conditions.
MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY OF CREATING PLATED FIBER-REINFORCED AND FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS WITH DIRECTIONAL ORIENTATION OF FIBER IN TWO DIRECTIONS
Authors: Mailyan Levon , Shilov Petr , Shilov Aleksandr
Published: June 2022

A modified mobile installation has been developed for creating slab fiber-reinforced concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete elements with a directional orientation of the fibers in two directions according to the proposed mechanical technology. The presented mechanical technology for creating slab fiber-reinforced concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete elements will make it possible to provide a mutually perpendicular orientation of the fibers in various layers of the structure, which will allow for the most complete inclusion of each fiber fiber into the work of the element. Also, due to the use of a mobile installation for laying fiber-reinforced concrete mix, specially designed and modified to work with slab elements, a uniform distribution of fibers in the body of concrete will be mechanically ensured.

Slowing Time in the Museum in a Period of Rapid Extinction
Authors: Jørgensen Dolly , Robin Libby , Fojuth Marie-Theres
Published: June 2022

Extinction of nonhuman species, as well as human-induced environmental change in general, is happening at a frighteningly fast pace. A recent global joint scientific assessment suggests that around a million animal and plant species are currently threatened with extinction because of human activity. In this article, we propose that museums have an opportunity to slow time for their visitors in a period of rapid extinction. First, we discuss the role of museums as galleries for active reflection and encounter with the loss inherent in extinction by changing the time scales in which people think and move. Then we introduce the articles in this themed issue on Exhibiting Extinction as all grappling with the tension between fast environmental loss and taking the necessary time to reckon with extinction. Time functions on another scale when extinction is involved, with the jumbling of past, present, and future. We argue that offering ways for people to think about and with extinction by slowing down time may be museums’ greatest contribution to addressing the real and present danger of extinction.
Extinction Voices, Extinction Silences: Reflecting on a Decolonial Role for Natural History Exhibits in Promoting Thinking about Global Ecological Crisis, Using a Case Study from Bristol Museums
Authors: Gladstone Isla , Pearl Persephone
Published: June 2022

Between August-December 2019, Bristol Museum & Art Gallery covered 32 animals in its World Wildlife Gallery with transparent black veils, to highlight the global ecological crisis. Each veiled animal represented a species extinct or at high to extreme risk of extinction. The intervention, called Extinction Voices, responded to calls from local schoolchildren and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) for transformative change in addressing this critical challenge. It gained international recognition, and generated conversation and action by visitors and the museum sector. This article explores the motivations and curatorial choices behind the intervention and how audiences responded. Its focus is a journey of critical reflection – on the intervention’s mainstream environmental framing, the institution’s colonial roots and their impact on its contemporary narratives. In turn, the article considers the possibilities that open exploration of silenced colonial histories brings for museums and the global ecological crisis.
Paradise Lost: Encounters with Australia’s Extinct Parrot
Authors: Cichy Miranda
Published: June 2022

The paradise parrot is mainland Australia’s only bird to have become extinct since white settlement. First named by British ornithologists in 1844, the bird has not been seen since 1927, its population declining rapidly due to changes in land-use. This creative-critical article investigates the history of the bird alongside personal encounters with six paradise parrot skins found in the storerooms of three UK museums, questioning whether the presence of such bodies negates our sense of total absence. It looks at changing taxidermy practices, and ongoing curatorial work to protect specimens from decay, refuting Donna Haraway’s notion that taxidermy animals have ‘transcended mortal life, and hold their poses forever.’ This enquiry examines what kind of encounter is generated between the viewer and taxidermy animal, and how this might enable us to bear witness to species loss during an age of mass extinction.

Published: June 2022

Urinary Schistosomiasis though being second to malaria as the most economically devastating disease is highly neglected in Nigeria. Infant it was only in 2010 that it was introduced into the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR). This has made the control of the disease more challenging despite its known high endemicity in the country. Several studies have shown that the disease can lead some dangerous complications ranging from gross mental retardation in children to renal complications such as bladder cancer. In Abia State Urinary Schistosomiasis is endermic is same rural communities, however not much attempt has been made on bacteria co-infection and to establish some socio – economic variable and clinical presentations carried out a cross – sectional survey of some school children between the ages of 5 – 16 years and above. A questionnaire was administered also. Urine samples were subjected to parasitological and bacteriology studies to determine prevalence, intensity tract infection. A Urinary Schistosomiasis pooled prevalence of 23.1% in Akwete community, 33.9% in Ozuitem and 0% in Ohuruisinmiri communities. Escherichia coli was the most prevalent micro-organism in co-infection with the prevalence rate of 37.5%, Klebsiella spp 15.6%, Pseudomonas spp 9.4%, Streptococcus spp 6.3% and Proteus spp 3.1%.
Le degré d’efficacité des contrats formels dans la nouvelle politique laitière algérienne
Authors: Makhlouf Malik , Montaigne Etienne
Published: June 2022

Dans sa nouveauté, la politique laitière oblige les laiteries, conventionnées préalablement avec l’Etat, à proposer aux producteurs et collecteurs de lait cru des contrats formels et écrits qui doivent, en pratique, contribuer à résoudre ou à limiter les multiples défaillances du marché. De façon exhaustive, il sera question, dans cet article, en mobilisant les outils d’analyse des théories des contrats et des coûts de transaction, d’analyser la nature de ces contrats formels qui lient les laiteries à leurs fournisseurs de lait cru. Cet examen éclairera les pratiques contractuelles dans un processus de coordination verticale d’une filière en dynamique propulsée par les différents soutiens et primes de l’Etat. Ce cas d’étude est original dans la mesure où la relation contractuelle est imposée par l’Etat comme condition sine qua non d’obtention de ces primes et subventions. Il n’est donc pas étonnant que les clauses soient appliquées de façons incomplètes et contournées lorsque les rapports deviennent par trop inégalitaires. Les relations informelles participent à la solution de difficultés rencontrées dans la pratique. Ces contrats n’en sont pas moins des outils de structuration et de modernisation de la filière lait.
Il concilio degli dèi (Verg.Aen.10.1-117), fraars rhetoricae(im)politeness
Authors: Torzi Ilaria
Published: June 2022

Ancient commentators have always paid considerable attention to the rhetorical aspects of the speeches composed by Virgil in theAeneid. They are fictitious dialogues but modelled, at least partially, on the public debates of the late Republic and Virgil’s own times. The Council of the Gods (Aen. 10.1-117) is perhaps the passage in which the use of rhetoric is most evident. The trialogue between Jupiter, Venus and Juno can also be examined in the context of the doctrine of (im)politeness. Each protagonist uses specific strategies to interact with the others. Late antiquity exegesis also analyses in some notes the attitude of the speakers, highlighting polite or impolite behaviours. The aim of the article is twofold: on the one hand, it follows the development of the trialogue according to modern doctrines of (im)politeness to have an ‘ethic’ analysis of the debate. On the other hand, it will examine the commentators’ notes, both those explaining the rhetorical strategies and those highlighting the attitude of the speakers, in order to assess ‘emic’ perceptions of (im)politeness.

Il Thesaurus Linguae Latinae e il lessico filologico antico
Primi spunti dalle subscriptiones dei codici
Authors: Cioffi Carmela
Published: June 2022

When a scholar writes a Latin preface for his Teubner edition, he uses a specific, philological lexicon, dating from the humanistic age. But how did this lexicon grow, what are its main sources? And, above all, to what extent does the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae help us to reconstruct the history of its emergence and evolution? My paper arises from a reflection on these and other relevant questions: a marginal research on ancient and late antique Latin philological lexicon.
Levels of Science Identity, Belonging and Experiences of Discrimination for Commencing Science Students at an Australian University
Authors: Fisher Camilla Rose , Thompson Christopher D , Brookes Rowan H
Published: June 2022

A key step in achieving gender equality in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce is recruiting more women into undergraduate STEM degrees. Some disciplines, such as biology, have been more successful at this than others. Yet, gender issues at university still exist in these science disciplines, which may be deterring women from remaining in this career pathway. This case study at an Australian university explored known risk factors for attrition by surveying 215 first-year undergraduate science students. It also investigated how these factors differ for students in the ‘gender-balanced’ and ‘gender-unbalanced’ science fields. Findings showed that female students in both the ‘gender-balanced’ and ‘gender-unbalanced’ science fields begin university with low levels of belonging, and encounter experiences of discrimination early on. These findings highlight potential risk factors for attrition for incoming Australian science undergraduates, and some potential challenges tertiary educators need to be aware of within their first-year classrooms.
Working With Patterns Through Chess-Based Problems. Strategies and Reasoning Levels of Primary School Students.
Authors: Vera Sáez-Benito Dámaso M. , Arnal-Bailera Alberto
Published: June 2022

The study of patterns has been recognised for many years as setting up the very essence of mathematics. Patterns are connected to all topics in mathematics, so this theme is present throughout the school mathematics curriculum. Among the large number of interesting examples for working on pattern search in elementary school using situations familiar to students, we chose chess because of the relationships shown between this game and different aspects of mathematics. The objectives were to determine the strategies and classify the students' levels of reasoning when working with patterns to solve chess-based problems. A sequence of activities was designed to carry out this task. The sequence presents visual and numerical patterns ordered progressively from a greater presence of visual aspects to a predominance of numerical aspects. The results of this work suggest that chess favours the use of a variety of strategies, some of them even different from those found in previous literature. Students rely on the geometry of the board when working with these particular types of patterns. However, the results show that the level of reasoning is higher in the case of solving numerical patterns.
A Cross-Institutional Perspective of Pre Laboratory Activities in Undergraduate Chemistry
Authors: Scarborough David L. A. , George-Williams Stephen R. , Thompson Christopher D.
Published: June 2022

Pre-laboratory exercises may help reduce cognitive load in the laboratory, boost confidence, develop theoretical understanding and skills, and improve grades on assessment tasks. This study compared pre-laboratory activities at two institutions, Go8-1 and Go8-2, to evaluate which attributes of pre-laboratory activities were perceived by students to best prepare them for laboratory classes. Students were surveyed towards the end of their laboratory course, and were asked a series of Likert-style and open response questions. Factor analysis was used to construct three scales, incorporating items relating to performance and understanding, items relating to affective and personal laboratory experience, and items relating to requiring support with laboratory equipment. No difference between cohorts was observed between the two institutions regarding requiring support with equipment. While Go8-1 students rated performance and understanding more highly than Go8-2 students, the opposite result was observed for affective and personal factors. The factor analysis results and responses to the open response questions indicated that students felt most prepared for laboratory exercises when the pre-class activities touched upon all aspects of the laboratory class. It is recommended that quizzes and video be used in pre-laboratory activities, with these resources covering theory, aims, methods, calculations and data analysis.

Published: June 2022

Designing and providing learning materials that suit the needs of learners is one of the important roles of a lecturer. This study is conducted to examine the appropriate English learning design in non-English Education Study Programs at UMSU with an orientation to the English for Specific Purpose (ESP) approach to analyze the factors that become ESP learning needs and analysis of ESP English learning model design in non-English Education Study Programs. This study involved eight lecturer respondents who teach English in non-educational study programs. This study used a qualitative research design using questionnaires and interviews as research instruments. The results of data analysis showed that factors that underlined the need for ESP in teaching and learning English in non-English Education department were going under two categories, namely the short-term factor and the long-term need factor. The design of the ESP English learning model, then, was concerned to the students’ need of English after their study period. This fact is in accordance with the theory of ESP learning approach under the skill-centered course design which aims to help learners develop skills and strategies that will continue after the ESP learning. The combination of both (Learning-centered approach and skill-centered course design) emerged as an innovation of the ESP course design for students of non-English study program.

Исследование посвящено выяснению и устранению причин цикловой неидентичности при работе инновационного импульсно-детонационного гидрореактивного движителя (ИД ГРД), которая снижает его тяговые характеристики. Спроектирован и изготовлен экспериментальный образец ИД ГРД в виде импульсно-детонационной трубки (ДТ), соединенной с оптически прозрачным водоводом. Проведены экспериментальные исследования с вертикальным погружением образца в воду. Обнаружено, что межцикловая неидентичность связана с перерасширением газообразных продуктов детонации в детонационной трубке вследствие инерции водяного столба в водоводе. Перерасширение газа вызывает обратное течение механической газоводяной смеси, которая не только заполняет водовод, но и проникает в ДТ, оказывая сильное влияние на циклический рабочий процесс. Для устранения межцикловой неидентичности разработан, изготовлен и испытан новый лабораторный образец ИД ГРД, оснащенный вращающимся механическим клапаном и работающий на пропанокислородной смеси. Его огневые испытания показали, что при прочих равных условиях применение клапана позволяет в значительной мере устранить межцикловую нестабильность и увеличить средний удельный импульс более чем вдвое: до 550 с вместо 250 с при рабочей частоте 14 Гц.

Published: June 2022

Introduction. The development of measures aimed at promoting sustainable socio-economic development requires a comprehensive analysis of health status in a working population, including the terms of occupational morbidity (OM). The emergence of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 constitutes grounds for special attention to the most vulnerable professional groups – health care and social services workers (HSW). The study goal: to analyze the structure and rates of occupational morbidity in Russia for the period from 2010 to 2020, with particular attention to the area of health care and social services. Methods. The structure of occupational morbidity by the types of economic activity and depending on harmful factors in Russia were analyzed according to Rospotrebnadzor and the Ministry of Labour data, 2010-2020. The OM rates in HSW were calculated and analyzed. Results. In the OM structure, the share of HSW increased to 20,2% in 2020. An increase of the share of biological factors was also noted. The OM rate among HSW sharply rose in 2020 and was almost 7 times higher than in 2019. Conclusion. The noted changes are associated with COVID-19 pandemic. A sharp increase in OM of HSW indicates a high risk of medical personnel professional health loss which requires further careful analysis of their health status.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: KAMAZ PJSC is the largest automobile corporation in the Russian Federation. In 2021, 71 cases of occupational diseases were detected at KAMAZ PJSC. The first place is occupied by pathology from industrial aerosols exposure, it accounts for about 40% of cases. The goal of study: a comparative hygienic assessment of working conditions and effects of industrial aerosols exposure on large machine-building enterprise employees health state included in the risk group for the development of diseases of the bronchopulmonary system in 2016-2018 and 2019-2021. Research materials and methods: Criteria for inclusion in the risk group were: work experience with industrial aerosols for 15 years or more and the presence at the workplace of exceeding MPC of industrial aerosols of predominantly fibrogenic action, aerosols of metals and toxic substances. Evaluation of working conditions was carried out according to the cards of working conditions special assessment. Employees The health state was assessed by data from periodic medical examinations using spirometry basis. Results: Working conditions in 2019-2021 Cohort improved compared to 2016-2018 cohort, which is associated with changes in technology, equipment upgrades. In the group of workers who were in contact with highly fibrogenic dust, the improvement in the class of working conditions correlates with spirometric data. In the group of workers who were in contact with low-fibrogenic dust, with a noticeable improvement in the class of working conditions, the respiratory function indicators, on the contrary, showed a negative increase, and we note an increase in the proportion of restrictive and obstructive disorders. In this group also, we note an increase COPD incidence. A similar picture is also observed in the group of metals and toxic substances in contact with aerosols. Conclusion: Based on these data, we can assume that this is due to change the production technologies and an increase the fine-dispersed aerosols in the air of the working area, which have a more aggressive effect on the bronchopulmonary system.
The Detailed Description of Construction Waste in Low-Cost Housing Projects in Indonesia
Authors: Nurlaelah Nurlaelah , Jayady Arman
Published: June 2022

Developers construct low-cost housing specifically for the low-income demographic. While the number of people interested in this sort of home is growing in Indonesia, in practice, there is sometimes a delay in the development process due to waste. The goal of this research is to identify and describe the waste that occurs during the construction of low-cost dwellings. Field observations and interviews with 17 contractors working on four low-cost housing projects were used to gather data. The findings of the analysis demonstrate that various wastes arise throughout the construction process' flow, including waste Overproduction, Inventory, Defect, Motion, Transportation, Processing, and Waiting in each job, all of which stymie the development process. This study was not conducted at the level of the developer or material supplier, but rather at the project site, specifically on every job in the process of constructing a consumer's home. This study uses seven forms of waste that exist in a succession of manufacturing processes, namely Overproduction, Inventory, Defect, Motion, Transportation, Processing, and Waiting, which are rarely employed in construction projects.

The Qur'an is a guide, differentiator,for humans, as evidenced by several supporting verses, for example in Surah al-Baqarah verse 2. ask Allah SWT. In addition to being a guide and guide, students also have the notion that in the verses of the Qur'an they can fulfill their wishes, namely with the media of dhikr of Ratib Al-Kubro. The Ratib contained readings from the Koran which were believed by the students of Al-Mubaromk Medoono as a medium for asking for prayers. The method used in this research is phenomology, which is observing from the experience of students from reading Ratib Al-Kubro. With a qualitative approach and library research. As a result, the researchers found that the practice of reciting the verses of the Qur'an in the routine of Ratib Al-Kubro at the Al-Mubarok Meono boarding school in Pekalongan when viewed from the meaning according to the sociological theory of knowledge of Karl Mannheim, there are three categories of meaning, namely the objective meaning as a routine for the Leaders of Pondok and Santri, Expressive meaning as a form of obedience, benefit, and behavior. The meaning of Documentary as a comprehensive culture.
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic era 2020 on Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) - National Child Health program in India – A cross-sectional comparative research study
Authors: Kumar Dr Piyush
Published: June 2022

Abstract - In India because of the elevated birth rate and Brobdingnagian population (globally next to china) Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) (National Child Health program) is a significant measure by the Government of India, quite vital for public health care provision systems for reducing mortality in children (to achieve SDG goal), particularly within the current COVID-19 pandemic era throughout which most of the essential maternal- kid RCH (Reproductive and Child Health) health services were disrupted globally as well as in India. One of the researchers is a medical doctor who felt that the performance of RBSK during COVID-19 must be investigated to know the status of implementation of services during the pandemic crisis to alert policymakers if there is a disruption of these vital health services due to ongoing pandemic so that proper and timely action should be taken to rectify disruption if any during as well as after pandemic. This analysis study was done to supply significant information to the scientific community and decision-makers with concrete information analysis from authorized HMIS (Health Management data system) of Government - MoHFW (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare)) to provide the COVID-19 impact on RBSK services by public health care facilities across thirty-six states and UTs of India. This novel cross sectional research study revealed that COVID-19 period 2020 had a less number of Male/Female children identified with Disease (6 month to 18 years) screened by RBSK services mobile health teams at Govt and Govt aided schools and Anganwadi centre under RBSK services in India on an all India cumulative basis. This is clearly due to less number of screenings done during the COVID-19 era. The prevalence of Male/Female children identified with Disease (6 month to 18 years) / 1000 screened were 23.49, 31.18 and 29.72 for males and 22.37, 30.27 and 29.31 for females during 2018-2019-2020 respectively, is reduced during COVID-19 era is a good sign.
White Supremacy Culture and the Assimilation Trauma of Medical Training: Ungaslighting the Physician Burnout Discourse
Authors: Legha Rupinder Kaur , Martinek Nathalie
Published: June 2022

The physician burnout discourse emphasizes organizational challenges and personal wellbeing as primary points of intervention. However, these foci have minimally impacted this worsening public health crisis by failing to address the primary sources of harm: oppression. Organized medicine’s whiteness, developed and sustained since the 19th century, has molded training and clinical practice, favoring those who embody its oppressive ideals while punishing those who do not. Here, we reframe physician burnout as the trauma resulting from the forced assimilation into whiteness and the white supremacy culture embedded in medical training’s hidden curriculum. We argue that “ungaslighting” the physician burnout discourse requires exposing the history giving rise to medicine’s whiteness and related white supremacy culture, rejecting discourses obscuring their harm, and utilizing bold and radical frameworks to reimagine and transform medical training and practice into a reflective, healing process.
The changing shape of spatial inequality in the United States
Authors: Kemeny Tom , Storper Michael
Published: June 2022

Spatial income disparities have increased in the United States since 1980. Growth in this form of inequality is linked to major social, economic and political challenges. Yet, contemporary patterns, and how they relate to those of the past, remain insufficiently well understood. Building on population survey microdata spanning 1940-2019, this paper uses group-based trajectory modelling techniques to identify distinct sets of local labor markets based on the evolution of their income levels. We find that the increase in spatial inequality since 1980 is almost entirely driven by a small number of populous, economically-important, and resiliently high-performing `superstar' city-regions. Meanwhile, since 1940, much of the rest of the urban system has continued to converge toward the mean. We examine the demographic, economic and social characteristics of these different trajectories, identifying catch-up regions, declining regions, long-term winners, and possible future superstars. There is considerable turbulence within the convergence process, consisting of regions that are moving both upward and downward in the system. We conclude by exploring implications for the American urban-regional system in the mid-21st century, considering the challenges in overcoming the growing split between superstar locations and the rest of the country.
Maternal and infant health development in southern Sweden, 1905-2015: Understanding the role of institutions and medical innovations
Authors: van Dijk Ingrid K , Lazuka Volha , Quaranta Luciana
Published: June 2022

Using data from southern Sweden, this work analyses the development of maternal and infant health in five rural parishes and the town of Landskrona in Scania, Sweden, in the last 110 years. First, we address the overall development of maternal, perinatal and infant health using a range of indicators, such as maternal mortality, neonatal mortality, and stillbirth rates. We also describe how institutional and medical changes reached the town of Landskrona and the surrounding rural areas. Second, we relate the development of maternal and infant health to the institutions and medical innovations available in the area, such as the expansion of hospital facilities, availability of antibiotics and the opening of maternity wards and neonatal intensive care units. We estimate the magnitude of the impact on a range of indicators of mother and infant health using time series analysis.

With a rise in total joint replacement and bone tumor surgeries, complications such as osteolysis increasingly occur. Osteolysis can promote bone cysts to form, which reduces bone density and can delay the recovery process by causing fractures [1]. To prevent these fractures, bone cysts are often surgically removed. Conventional bone cyst surgery requires a large incision to gain access to the entire lesion. Through this access window, the cyst is removed using a curet. The inside of the bone is cleaned by following suction and irrigation before it is injected with a drug to promote bone regeneration [2]. The large access window for reaching the lesion may weaken the bone and can be the cause of additional fractures, further delaying the patient’s recovery. Preventative measures such as internal plate fixation also require additional scans and expose the patient to more radiation. The da Vinci Surgical System (da VinciTM Surgical System, Intuitive Surgical Inc, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) is used for minimally invasive surgery on soft tissue. Due to the limited bending and drilling functions, the robot is not applicable to the lesion inside bone. Various continuum robots [3][4] have been developed to overcome this limitation. However, the developed robots have difficulty removing hard, fibrous membrane inside the lesion because of their insufficient rigidity. In this study, we propose a robotic compliant joint based endoscopic surgery system for minimally invasive bone cyst surgery. The proposed system includes a flexible bone drilling instrument with high rigidity which removes the bone cyst, and a roboticized commercial flexible endoscope to provide visual feedback as well as suction and irrigation to clean the lesion. An intuitive control device with auto-rotation display is integrated. Several experiments in which simulated lesions have been removed from cow femurs have been performed to evaluate the system.

ntracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheter, known to have a strong ability to visualize cardiac structures and blood ﬂow from within the heart, is now being favorably used in cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology as an advanced imaging approach. However, clinicians require substantial training and experience to become comfortable with steering the catheter to localize and measure the area of treatment to watch for complications while device catheters are deployed in another access. Thus, it is reasonable that a robotic-assist system to hold and actively manipulate the ICE catheter could ease the workload of the physician. There exist commercially-available robotic systems [1] and research prototypes [2, 3] for ICE catheter manipulation. They all use existing commercially available ICE catheters (e.g. ACUSON AcuNav ICE catheter family, Siemens Healthineers) based on multiple tendon-sheath mechanism (TSM). To motorize the existing TSM-based ICE catheter, the actuators interface with the outer handle knobs to manip- ulate four internal tendons. However, in practice, the actua- tors are located at a sterile, safe place far away from the ICE handle [3]. Thus, to interface with knobs, there exist multi- ple coupled gear structures between two, leading to a highly nonlinear behavior (e.g. various slack, elasticity) alongside hysteresis phenomena in TSM [2]. Since ICE catheters are designed for single use, the expen- sive actuators need to be located in a safe place so as to be reusable. Moreover, these actuators should interface as di- rectly as possible with the tendons for accurate tip controls. In this paper, we introduce a separable ICE catheter robot with four tendon actuation: one part reusable and another disposable. Moreover, we propose a practical model and cal- ibration method for our proposed mechanism so that four tendons are actuated simultaneously allowing for precise tip control and mitigating issues with conventional devices such as dead-zone and hysteresis with simple linear compensa- tion. We consider an open-loop controller since many avail- able ICE catheters are used without position-tracking sen- sors at the tip due to costs and single use.

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV), a minimally inva- sive intervention, uses a balloon catheter to dilate the narrowed aortic valve as pre-dilatation or post-dilatation during the treatments of aortic stenosis. However, the instability of the inflated balloon by blocking the pul- sating blood flow and the cardiac contraction causes the risk of tissue damage. Although a technique named rapid ventricle pacing (RVP) has been introduced to reduce the cardiac output for balloon stabilisation during its infla- tion, RVP is still associated with several complications. Several studies have introduced new balloon designs with considering non-occlusive configuration to improve the stability of the balloon catheter [1], [2], but sufficient data and understanding of their clinical outcome is still required. Therefore, using a commercially available valvuloplasty balloon catheter to achieve stability and avoid the use of RVP is worth to be investigated. In this study, to study the level of balloon inflation that allows for its stabilization during heart systole, a Finite Element (FE) model of the balloon catheter is created to simulate inflation and deflation procedures. Then, a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) model is used to simulate how the displacement of the balloon along the aortic root varied by the different internal volumes under the blood flow.

Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is a surgi- cal procedure that employs robotics to remove a portion of diseased kidney. During the procedure, a drop-in Ultrasound (US) probe is used to identify the resec- tion margins. Although the robot facilitates the task, the scanning of the kidney proves challenging due to slippage and requires a highly skilled surgeon [1]. In previous work [2], we presented a Pneumatically Attach- able Flexible (PAF) rail to enable stable, track-guided US scanning of the kidney during RAPN. In [3] and [4], we have investigated the autonomous deployment of the PAF rail on the surface of the organ and their use in intraoperative organ manipulation. In [5], Wang et al. studied the 3-D reconstruction of a mass embedded in a kidney phantom when the PAF rail guides the US probe. In this work, we investigate autonomous control during the US scanning using the PAF rails, specifically using fibre-optic shape-sensing data as the input for path- planning. First, we present the design and fabrication of the sensorized PAF rail; then we assess the performance of real-time curvature sensing with the sensorized PAF rail system on rigid and soft phantoms; finally, we demonstrate how the PAF rail local shape data can be used to plan a trajectory and autonomously guide an intraoperative US probe.

We propose a soft inflatable sensor to detect tissue anomalies for internal examination of organs, especially in cases which are difficult to visualise, and where external palpation by physicians is not possible or in- formative. Rectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, with over one third of cases diag- nosed at a late stage. Assessment of elastic properties of colorectal tissue has been shown to offer potential improvements to tumour diagnostic accuracy, and early detection of precancerous tumours that are not visible through endoscopic imaging [1]. The proposed sensor provides a novel approach for sensing small lesions that are not easily detected by the current visualisation methodologies. The sensor includes an inflatable unit which is used to distend the tissue analogous to a pal- pation task. Any variation in tissue stiffness will cause a change in the shape of the soft inflatable unit, which is detected using the principles of Electrical Impedance Tomography [2]. A prototype has been designed and tested against a silicone phantom simulating a tissue with abnormalities.

Intraoperative patient registration and tracking are key enabling components of Computer-Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS). Optical tracking systems that detect rigidly-attached reference frames with reflective markers are the standard in current CAOS systems, due to their large field of view and high accuracy [1], [2]. Recent improvements in depth sensing technology have led to the widespread availability of RGBD stereo- cameras. Their adoption in CAOS is appealing, as it would allow to reconstruct a patient‚Äôs anatomy with a simple ‚Äòsnapshot‚Äô of the scene [3], [4]. However, inte- grating such cameras into a CAOS system would not be straightforward, as would require changes to the layout traditionally used in current systems. Indeed, while the camera is normally positioned laterally to the patient, a markerless system would need to look directly into the surgical incision, at a much closer distance so as to maximise the density of points in the Region-of-Interest (RoI). While these constraints present some challenges, the light weight and small form factor of many state-of- the-art RGBD cameras allow to envision solutions that would not be possible with bulkier systems. In this abstract we present a preliminary study for an integrated solution composed of a lightweight RGBD camera connected to the robot-assisted burring tool of a commercial CAOS system. We present preliminary results on the tracking accuracy of the system, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of such a solution.
