A novel type of micro-channel heat sink with enhanced thermal-hydraulic performance by sawtooth cross-sectional shape
Authors: Chen Haotian
Published: February 2025

A new shape of cross-section for micro-channel heat sink (MCHS) was designed. The cross-section has a sawtooth boundary. Through numerical simulation, the effects of various geometric parameters, including angle of sawtooth and number of sawtooth, on the MCHS's thermal performance and coolant flow characteristics were explored. According to the results, the cross-section with a sawtooth boundary increases the pressure drop, but at some specific geometric parameters, the heat dissipation performance is enhanced. Thus, the sawtooth cross-section has a better overall thermal performance than the conventional rectangular cross-section for MCHS. After simulating different geometric parameters, it was found that the overall thermal performance is highest when the angle of sawtooth is 30 degrees. Further research based on the 30 degrees angle of sawtooth revealed that when the top and bottom sides have four pairs of sawtooth and the left and right sides have twelve pairs, the overall thermal performance is at its best. Under this optimal configuration, the overall thermal performance of the MCHS with a sawtooth cross-section is 16% higher than that of the MCHS with a traditional rectangular cross-section.

Authors: Jiang Chenglu
Published: February 2025

The Industrial Internet offers significant advantages in terms of intelligence and efficiency, playing a crucial role in driving the digital transformation of the industrial economy. Today, the Industrial Internet is increasingly utilized worldwide, bringing substantial benefits to society. However, its application also presents numerous information security challenges. If unresolved, these issues could result in varying degrees of losses. Therefore, it is essential to adopt appropriate methods for encrypting communication signals transmitted within the Internet architecture. Taking the 5G fronthaul architecture as an example, this paper proposes augmenting the passive WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexer) transmission of communication signals with quantum signal transmission. Quantum encryption technology is employed to encrypt the communication signals initially transmitted via passive WDM. Alice and Bob are implemented in the DU (Distribution Unit) machine room and AAU (Active Antenna Unit) site, respectively, with quantum signal transmission established between them. Using the BB84 protocol in quantum encryption technology, keys are generated to encrypt communication signals, enhancing the security of the entire Internet and mitigating the risks associated with information leakage. This paper explores the specific processes and principles of network architecture and communication signal encryption. It presents a schematic diagram demonstrating the integration of quantum encryption technology into the 5G fronthaul network architecture. Additionally, the paper analyzes the benefits of incorporating quantum encryption technology into network architecture, laying a foundation for the deployment of quantum communication networks and advancing the secure development of the Industrial Internet.
Who, What, When, Where, Why: A Narrative Episodic Memory Framework for Generative AI NPCs in Games
Authors: Sunny Lam Yeung Kong
Published: February 2025

This research proposes a narrative episodic memory framework for generative AI-based NPCs in games, structured around the "Who, What, When, Where, Why" (5Ws) format, which aims to suggest a memory structure for future GenAI NPC model development. The main objective is to allow NPCs to recognize and remember memories of interactions with players and to respond in a way that is contextually rich and consistent with their personality and background. The framework implements the idea of memory decay, enabling NPCs to tune their personality and tone for different players using generative AI over time. By analyzing the interaction memories, NPCs can dynamically adjust their character to create a personalized and immersive experience. The framework will be evaluated using several large language models, and their responses will be compared through analysis. The results will be presented with an emphasis on the differences among models to cater to the distinct needs of developers. While such a framework is considered a component that needs integration, this work establishes a foundation for designing episodic memory structure, allowing NPCs to participate with players with complex memory structure as it allows them to engage in more meaningful interactions. This foundational framework serves as pathways for future development on NPC AI that enables sophisticated interaction and changes character personality specific to the way players engage with them.

Published: February 2025

Aunque los sistemas electorales pueden afectar a múltiples aspectos de la vida política (Lijphart, 1985; Shugart, 2005; Karvonen, 2010; Renwick y Pilet, 2016), nuestro análisis de los sistemas electorales autonómicos se centra en sus efectos mecánicos sobre la desproporcionalidad, el sesgo partidista en el reparto de los es¬caños, así como en sus consecuencias sobre la reducción del número de partidos que consiguen representación y en la producción de mayorías manufacturadas para fa¬vorecer la gobernabilidad. Para ello, analizaremos los efectos del sistema electoral tanto en el conjunto de cada comunidad como a nivel de distrito, que es donde se produce el reparto de los escaños. Tras esta breve introducción de nuestro objeto de estudio, en el siguiente apartado se describen los principales componentes de los 17 sistemas electorales autonómicos empleados en las últimas elecciones celebradas en cada comunidad hasta el momento. A continuación, se analizan sus efectos sobre la desproporcionalidad y la reducción de la fragmentación partidista. Finalmente, el último apartado sintetiza las principales conclusiones del estudio.

Authors: Okumura Kenji , Dhand Abhay , Hasjim Bima J , Misawa Ryosuke , Sogawa Hiroshi , Veillette Gregory , Nishida Seigo
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Normothermic liver machine perfusion (NMP) is a novel technology used to preserve and evaluate the function of liver allografts.

AIM

To assess NMP utilization in liver transplant (LT) practices.

METHODS

All adult deceased-donor LT recipients between January 2021 and September 2023 in the United States were analyzed. Outcomes including discard rates, survival, preservation time and timing of surgery were compared between two groups: NMP vs non-NMP.

RESULTS

Between 2021 and 2023, NMP was utilized in 1493 (6.3%) of all LTs in the United States. Compared to non-NMP group, NMP group had lower allograft discard rate (6.5% vs 10%, P < 0.001), older recipients’ age (median: 47 vs 42 years, P < 0.001), and higher utilization of donors from donation after circulatory death (DCD) (55% vs 11%, P < 0.001). NMP group also had longer distances between recipient and donor hospitals (median: 156 vs 138 miles, P < 0.001), longer preservation time (median: 12.2 vs 5.8 hours, P < 0.001), and more daytime reperfusion (74% vs 55%, P < 0.001). Post-transplant survival outcomes were comparable between the two groups. In a subgroup analysis of NMP, recipients in the long preservation time (≥ 8 hours) group had higher daytime reperfusion (78% vs 55%, P < 0.001) and similar post-transplant survival when compared to the short preservation time (< 8 hours) group.

CONCLUSION

The utilization of NMP is associated with lower discard rates and increased DCD organs for LT. NMP allows for prolonging the preservation time and increased occurrence of daytime LT, without any impact on the survival outcomes.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Family caregivers of cirrhosis patients (CPs) often experience burden, stress, and depression. Investigating whether these conditions improve following the patient undergoing liver transplantation (LT) is crucial, as it would elucidate the comprehensive benefits of the procedure and demonstrate the positive impacts not only on the patients but also on their caregivers and society.

AIM

To compare the levels of burden, stress and depression among family caregivers of cirrhotic and liver transplant patients.

METHODS

This cross-sectional observational study evaluated caregivers of CPs and LT recipients at a quaternary Brazilian hospital. Instruments included identification cards, interview scripts, the caregiver burden scale Inventory, Lipp’s Stress Symptom Inventory, and the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition. Psychometric analyses involved confirmatory factor analysis and calculation of McDonald’s omega and composite reliability. Factor scores were compared with the Mann-Whitney U test, with effect size as the rank-biserial correlation coefficient (r ). Statistical analysis was performed with R software (P < 0.05).

RESULTS

Seventy-seven CP caregivers and 65 LT recipient caregivers were included. Most were female (CP: 85.7% vs LT: 84.6%) and the patients’ spouses (76.6% vs 63.1%). The median age and caregiving duration were 55.4 (23.3-76.3) vs 54.6 (25.7-82.1) and 3.9 (1-20) vs 8 (1.5-24) years, respectively (P = 0.001). LT caregivers were less likely to be at risk of overload (21.5% vs 49.4%), to be under stress (33.8% vs 36.4%) and to show symptoms of depression (15.4% vs 35.1%). Compared with LT caregivers, CP caregivers had greater median factor scores for burden (general tension, P = 0.012; isolation, P = 0.014; disappointment, P = 0.004), depression (P = 0.008), and stress (P = 0.047), with small to moderate effect sizes. The disappointment (r = 0.240) and depression (r = 0.225) dimensions had the largest effect sizes.

CONCLUSION

Family caregivers of LT recipients are less likely to exhibit symptoms of burden, stress, and depression, suggesting that the benefits of LT extend to the patients’ family members.

Authors: Aji Kristanto Prasetyo , Riani Asri Laksmi
Published: February 2025

The goal of this research is to investigate how Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) impacts Green Organizational Citizenship Behavior (G-OCB), with the involvement of organizational identification, job satisfaction, and green culture. The methodology utilised for this study is a survey. The target group for this research comprises of postgraduate students from the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Sebelas Maret, who are currently working in various sectors. A purposive sampling approach was employed, with a total of 140 participants. Analysis of the data was carried out using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study shows that GHRM has a notable impact on organizational identification, but organizational identification has no significant impact on G-OCB. In addition, GHRM has a significant influence on job satisfaction, while job satisfaction does not significantly affect G-OCB. Moreover, GHRM has a significant effect on green culture, and green culture also has a significant impact on G-OCB. The findings suggest that organizational identification does not act as a mediator between GHRM and G-OCB, and job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship either. However, green culture is found to be a mediator in the relationship between GHRM and G-OCB.

O pós-operatório da cirurgia bariátrica apresenta inúmeros impactos da vida do bariátrico que vão desde sobras dermo gordurosas até a necessidade de acompanhamento psicológico para lidar com os acontecimentos da nova vida. “Após a cirurgia bariátrica, os pacientes apresentam sobras dermo gordurosas distribuídas não somente na parede anterior do abdômen, mas por toda a circunferência abdominal.” (Daher et al., 2019 p. 219).  O método escolhido foi realizar estudo retrospectivo e de cunho bibliográfico, desenvolvendo através de uma revisão da literatura fundamentada em análise retrospectiva de artigos científicos na temática proposta. As considerações finais sobre os efeitos a longo prazo da cirurgia bariátrica indicam que, embora essa intervenção seja altamente eficaz para a perda de peso e o controle de comorbidades associadas à obesidade, ela envolve desafios contínuos que não podem ser negligenciados.
O campo religioso: uma análise a partir de pierre bourdieu
Authors: Pinto Luiz Eduardo de Souza , Braga Heuza Lucas da Cruz
Published: February 2025

O sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu é um dos mais influentes cientistas sociais. Sua produção, uma rigorosa conjugação entre o empírico e a teoria, gravita em uma dimensão de reconhecimento acadêmico próxima de Karl Marx, Émile Durkheim e Max Weber, que são autores considerados clássicos. A produção bourdieusiana cobre uma significativa profusão de fenômenos e temáticas que envolvem assuntos como religião, política, poder, trabalho, economia, estado, gênero, direito e educação. Os aparatos conceituais elaborados por Bourdieu são elementos centrais para estudos em diversas vertentes científicas, e seus esquemas analíticos, como habitus, capital, campo, dominação, servem de referência para múltiplas análises sociais, inclusive na esfera religiosa. Cabe, dessa maneira, desvelar as causas escamoteadas que afetam o curso de ação dos agentes, bem como as que estão impregnadas nas macroestruturas (Peters, 2018) e levantar alguns questionamentos: como elucidar as relações de poder e disputas existentes no campo religioso, levando em consideração a existência das formas simbólicas não apenas dos ritos e dos mitos, mas também considerando as instituições religiosas a partir de suas linguagens, discursos, engrenagens, intenções não ditas, ao mesmo tempo em que se reflete a criação dos sistemas de crenças e práticas como uma expressão transfigurada das estratégias do corpo, de especialistas em competição pelo domínio dos bens de salvação? E, como observar a construção dos códigos religiosos como reflexos das estruturas sociais e o conjunto das interações entre leigos e a instituição religiosa, enfatizando a relação de complementaridade entre o micro e o macro? Para responder a essas questões, o apelo à sociologia relacional de Bourdieu é necessária, pois ela é capaz de oferecer respostas a essas demandas, a partir de seus recursos teóricos e metodológicos que fornecem suporte para analisar as condutas sociais, a dimensão da influência das instituições na vida social dos indivíduos. Além disso, ela leva à compreensão das situações particulares de interação que estão em interconexões. Salienta-se que o mais relevante para a presente pesquisa é que ela possibilita desvelar os mecanismos de dominação e poder.

The first Brazilian mechanistic-empirical method was developed for designing asphalt pavements (MeDiNa) between 2014 and 2018, involving 41 test sections implemented and monitored. However, the validation process of the MeDiNa transfer function involved 13 experimental sections. In this study, an experimental segment with a length of 220 meters was implemented on the BR-420 highway in Bahia state to test two asphalt pavement solutions, with soil-gravel and cement-improved soil base layers, and to verify the accuracy of MeDiNa in estimating the short-term evolution of crack area (CA) and rutting. After implementing the experimental sections, monthly data collection was conducted after traffic was allowed on the road to determine the evolution of functional and structural parameters of these two constructed pavement sections. Using the geotechnical material characterization data and the asphalt mixture used in this experimental segment, the MeDiNa software was utilized to estimate the CA and rutting evolutions month by month for a 10-year project horizon. After 12 months of monitoring, the results indicate that the estimated values of rutting in MeDiNa diverge from those found in the field, where the onset of this pathology has already been detected. However, the pavement fatigue phase has not yet begun. Therefore, the AT values estimated in the software in the short-term analysis are inconsistent with those observed in the field. In addition to the lack of calibration, other factors, such as traffic and different climates, impact the low predictability.

Abdominal wall necrosis secondary to severe infections presents reconstructive challenges and need advanced surgical techniques for accomplishing functional restoration and aesthetic outcomes. We conducted this systematic review to evaulate various reconstructive approaches including vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy, regional and free flap transfers, biological and synthetic mesh implantation and posterior component separation techniques. Our findings indicate that mesh reinforcement like polypropylene and composite mesh provides structural stability but carries risks of infection and recurrence. Perforator-based fasciocutaneous and regional myocutaneous flaps have also shown superior vascularisation and reduced hernia recurrence though technical complexity and donor site morbidity remain concerns. Biological meshes such as acellular dermal matrix and porcine collagen also offer promising infection-resistant alternatives. Free flap transfers such as anterolateral thigh or latissimus dorsi flaps are emerged as effective techniques for large defects but demands microsurgical expertise. Posterior component separation with transversus abdominis release (TAR) enables tension-free fascial closure with improved durability. So, we came to a conclusion that abdominal wall necrosis following severe infections necessitates a range of reconstructive approaches. It is clear that direct closure is feasible in minor defects but limited by tension risks. Component separation techniques, including anterior and posterior approaches, enhance fascial mobilization with reported success rates exceeding 80%. Mesh-based reconstructions using synthetic or biological materials provide durability but carry infection risks. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) optimizes wound bed conditions and reduce complications and improving graft integration. Pedicled flaps, such as rectus abdominis or anterolateral thigh flaps are effective to restore coverage with viable tissue and achie superior aesthetic outcomes. Free flaps are complex but offer critical reconstruction with a 90% success rate. Hybrid techniques integrating NPWT, mesh and flap reconstruction enhance functional integrity with outcomes varying based on defect size and infection control.

‘Vengurla-4’ is one of the preferred variety by farmers of Konkan region because of larger size (> 7.5 g) of cashew nut and higher productivity. Cashew fruit comprises kidney shaped nut attached to the apple (cashew apple) which is technically a swollen peduncle. Baked products are good carrier for fibre enrichment, since they have become indispensable part of our life and are ideal for supplementation due to palatability, compactness, convenience and long shelf life of the product and being widely consumed by every individual irrespective of age. The perishable cashew apple generates high amount waste residues and the wastage rate exceeds about 90 – 95 % of production in India. Economic and efficient methods for handling and processing could help facing this problem through processing and transformation into good quality attractive breads with extended shelf life. The bread was prepared from refined wheat flour and cashew apple powder composite as A (95:05%), B (90:10%) and C (85:15%). The moisture content, fat, protein and ash percent was found in the range of 36.74 to 38.49 percent, 1.77 to 2.05 percent, 8.07 to 8.71 percent and 1.04 to 1.35 percent respectively among the treatments. The color and appearance, flavor, texture, taste and overall acceptability of osmo-convectively dried cashew apple powder composite as 95:05%, 90:10% and 85:15% varied significantly. The breads of treatment B i.e.90:10% wheat flour and cashew apple powder had obtained significantly higher score in all sensory attributes.
