Authors: Reyes-Ruíz Fernando , López-García Yheny , Ortega-Pérez Mónica Ivette , Sevilla-González María de la Luz , González-Díaz Guadalupe , Sibaja-Terán Beatriz
Published: September 2023

El estudio de la fatiga en Latinoamérica es limitada al observar que el interés central de la disciplina del factor humano y ergonomía está enfocado en el estrés y posibles afectaciones, lo que motivó en hacer una revisión de la literatura científica sobre el impacto que arrojó el aumento del teletrabajo en el ámbito docente. Es una revisión sistemática del periodo marzo 2019 a julio de 2022 en docentes de Latinoamérica que están expuestos al teletrabajo. Se utilizó el método PRISMA, por ello, se contemplaron las tesis y artículos científicos en el idioma español, con una descripción clara del procedimiento metodológico, y que en los resultados describieron detalladamente los factores de exposición, instrumentos utilizados y las consecuencias de la fatiga o cansancio. Se concluyó que, existe un área de oportunidad en la diversidad de evaluación en la población trabajadora que debe atenderse. Así también, es necesario contextualizar las condiciones de trabajo a las cuales están expuestos los trabajadores, en este caso la docencia. El estudio de la exposición de los docentes en una diversidad de espacios para efectuar el teletrabajo será un gran reto para los especialistas en Ergonomía y Estudios del Factor Humano para determinar las afectaciones inmediatas que dejará el teletrabajo si no se tiene un modelo transdisciplinario basado en la evidencia que atienda este tipo de problemáticas no solo de la fatiga sino de la salud en general.

Authors: Misbahuddin Hajir , Aditia Wiguna Frans
Published: September 2023

The limitation of students' understanding of disaster mitigation led the researchers to conduct a study that combined two previous studies, resulting in a new finding called Sistana. This research aimed to describe the suitability, effectiveness, and student response to the learning media in the form of Sistana-Based Student Worksheets (LKPD) in enhancing their understanding of disaster mitigation during the 6th-grade Social Studies class in Elementary School. The development model utilized by the researchers was the 4D model, which consists of four main stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. The validation results by material experts showed a percentage of 80% as "valid." The media experts obtained a percentage of 84% as "valid," while the evaluation experts scored 80% as "valid." Furthermore, the results of the trial showed that the students' average pretest score was 43.1, and their posttest score was 88.1, indicating an improvement of 45 points. Finally, the student's assessment of the use of LKPD Sistana resulted in a 92% "very good" response rate. Therefore, it can be concluded that the developed LKPD Sistana is relevant and engaging as a learning medium to enhance students' understanding of disaster mitigation.

Wind of change

Published: September 2023

The value of diaconia is difficult to measure, its immaterial assets not easily grasped. In this article, I contribute to the area in analysing the perspective of 22 deacons on what is most important in their job and what could potentially be of greatest value if there were no restrictions of money and other resources. Data were collected in the midst of the Corona crisis in 2021 in the Porvoo diocese in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. The timing of data collection therefore coincides with a unique chance to rethink ways of doing things. International research shows that the religious heritage of diaconia has changed from merely supporting people in need to also advocating marginalized groups and building bridges to other actors. This intangible heritage is sensitive to changes in society, whereby latent sources of value creation may be traced. Key contributions are identifying new areas of development of this religious heritage and assessing the value creation taking place – now and in a potential future. For this, understanding the changed role of diaconia in society and in the church are central.
From church to museum and back again
Authors: Andersson Erik J.
Published: September 2023

In the small village of Kinnarumma in western Sweden an old wooden church was replaced by a new church buildning in the early twentieth century. The old church was de-sacralized by being moved to an open-air museum in Borås and used there for exhibitions and the storage of museum objects. The need for more church premises in the city led to the re-sacralization of the old church in 1930. The transition of Kinnarumma’s old wooden church to museum object, its museumification, was an expression of change in religious heritage, and its re-sacralization expressed an unchanged part of the same heritage.
When Magnus Johanson turned fifty
Authors: Holmes Janice
Published: September 2023

This article examines birthday party decorations as a way of understanding the materiality and religious place-making of an expanding Baptist congregation in central Sweden in the early twentieth century. The fiftieth birthday party for Magnus Johanson, held at Salem Chapel in Falun, Dalarna county, in 1906, was decorated with birch branches, large Swedish flags and bunting and an elaborately laid table featuring coffee cups and refreshments. From an analysis of these material elements and a deeper investigation into the lives of Johanson and his wife Kristina, it can be seen that evangelicals had a flexible approach to their ‘sacred’ spaces. Social activities and the act of decorating them created not only a sense of congregational fellowship and belonging but also the opportunity for congregations to display their connection to external cultural and political identities. Through the construction of chapel buildings and their subsequent decoration, male and female members were able to demonstrate a complementary creativity. Together they contributed to the cre-ation of Salem as a multi-purpose, comfortable and accepted place within Falun’s evolving religious landscape.

Подарок санкций: анализ оценок российской экономики, 2022–2023 гг.
Authors: Гэлбрейт Джэймс К.
Published: September 2023

В предлагаемом эссе дан анализ нескольких известных западных оценок, как официальных, так и неофициальных, относительно влияния международных экономических санкций на российскую экономику и на военные действия на Украине. В нем делается попытка понять главные цели санкций, а также факты и причинно-следственные связи, которые лежат в основе [официального] консенсуса о том, что санкции до сих пор были весьма эффективными. Такое понимание может прояснить связь между утверждениями экономистов-наблюдателей за пределами России и источников внутри страны, в частности, оценки, исходящие от экономистов, связанных с Российской академией наук. Они делают резко различающиеся заключения из анализа одних и тех же фактов. Мы пришли к выводу, что применительно к крупной, богатой ресурсами, технически развитой экономике, после периода шока и адаптации санкции эквивалентны жестким защите внутренних рынков, промышленной политике и контролю над движением капитала. Это та политика, которую российское правительство не смогло бы по собственной инициативе реализовать даже в 2022 г.

Influence of NiTi Spring Dimensions and Temperature on the Actuator Properties
Authors: Al Shadidi Zina A. , Falih Ahmed Kadhum , Suhail Mahdi Hasan , Haidrah Suha Salem
Published: September 2023

Nitinol (NiTi) is used in many medical applications, including hard tissue replacements, because of its suitable characteristics, including a close elastic modulus to that of bones. Due to the great importance of the mechanical properties of this material in tissue replacements, this work aims to study the hysteresis response in an attempt to explore the ability of the material to remember its previous mechanical state in addition to its ability to withstand stress and to obtain the optimal dimensions and specifications for the manufacturer of NiTi actuators. Stress-strain examination is done in a computational way using a mutable Lagoudas MATLAB code for various coil radii, environment temperatures, and coil lengths. The computational methodology was done by varying the dimensions and the ambient temperature of the simulated NiTi spring actuator. The hysteresis loop is studied by increasing the external stress for a reversible martensitic transformation. The coil radius, spring height, and wire radius affect the spring force and deformations. In the same way, these parameters affect the strain and stress point values. These changes are shown through the martensite and austenite start and finish values. The NiTi hysteresis loop narrows with increasing ambient temperature or initial spring height. At a higher temperature, the force supplied to the actuator must be less for the same deformation; therefore, a higher ambient temperature provides more efficiency for the shape memory devices and a longer lifetime for the actuator.

Authors: Hanash Ruaa F. , Z. Khalaf Salman , I. Abood Khaleel
Published: September 2023

This study is unique in this field. It represents a mix of three branches of technology: photometry, spectroscopy, and image processing. The work treats the image by treating each pixel in the image based on its color, where the color means a specific wavelength on the RGB line; therefore, any image will have many wavelengths from all its pixels. The results of the study are specific and identify the elements on the nucleus’s surface of a comet, not only the details but also their mapping on the nucleus. The work considered 12 elements in two comets (Temple 1 and 67P/Churyumoy-Gerasimenko). The elements have strong emission lines in the visible range, which were recognized by our MATLAB program in the treatment of the image. The percentage of the elements was determined relative to iron, where in comet Temple 1, the most significant percentage of the element ratio potassium to iron is K / Fe ~ 28.2%, while the lowest value is Ca / Fe ~  1.3%. For the comet, 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the most significant percentage of the elements relative to iron is also for potassium, K / Fe ~ 89.5%, while the lowest value is Ni / Fe ~ 0.26.  In general, comparing both comets, the greatest percentage of the elements relative to iron is K / F. Iron is the base element in the structure of both comets, followed by potassium.

Authors: Barna O. M. , Korost Y. V.
Published: September 2023

Objective — to prove that the Hepametion, enteric‑dissolving tablets of 500 mg, produced by JSC Kyivmedpreparat (Ukraine), is not inferior in effectiveness to the original drug ademetionine, enteric‑dissolving tablets of 500 mg, in patients with non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis with intrahepatic cholestasis syndrome.
Materials and methods. 110 patients who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomized into the study. They were divided into 2 groups. The patients of the main group, consisting of (28 (51.9%) men and 26 (48.1%) women with the mean age 46.37±9.86  years) were administered the generic preparation of ademetionine Hepametion (Kyivmedpreparat) tablets of 500 mg, the patients of the control group — the original drug of ademetionine 500 mg. Initial therapy lasted in both groups for 14 days (± 3 days) in a daily dose of 1000 mg. Maintenance therapy was carried out from the 15th day (± 3 days) to the 60th day (± 3 days): patients in the main group received Hepametion 1 tablet (500 mg) orally between meals 3 times a day (daily dose — 1500 mg); and patients of the control group received the reference drug 1 tablet (500 mg) orally between meals 3 times a day (daily dose — 1500 mg). Patients of both groups were comparable in terms of demographic and anthropometric characteristics, assessments of the severity of the condition, severity and presence of complaints and symptoms, vital functions, results of instrumental and laboratory examinations, concomitant therapy, and pathology (p >0.05). A confirmed diagnosis of non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis with intrahepatic cholestasis syndrome was established according to the national and international recommendations.
Results. It has been evidenced, that the effectiveness of Hepametion, enteric‑dissolving tablets 500 mg, with the course of 2‑month use in the treatment of patients with non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis with intrahepatic cholestasis syndrome is not inferior to that of the original ademetionine. Difference between the groups was not significant (р >0.05). The course of 2‑month ademetionine therapy of patients with non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis with intrahepatic cholestasis syndrome promoted normalization of markers of severity of intrahepatic cholestasis syndrome (level of direct bilirubin and activity of AP and GGT), as well as to the reduction of clinical symptoms of cholestasis (р <0.05).
Conclusions. Ademetionine can be recommended as an effective and safe medication for the 2‑month treatment of patients with non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis with intrahepatic cholestasis syndrome. The investigated generic ademetionine drug is comparable to the original ademetionine (р >0.05).

Evaluation of Pap Smear Results of Women in the Turkish Population by Age Group
Authors: Horasan Fatma , Kasap Esin
Published: September 2023

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the leading malignancies affecting women globally, particularly in developing nations. The Pap smear is a crucial diagnostic tool for early detection and prevention of cervical cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the Pap smear results of patients who visited the clinic over a two-year period. Methods: A total of 620 patients who visited the clinic between January 2015 and December 2016 were included in this retrospective cohort study. Patients with a history of gynecological malignancy or hysterectomy were excluded. The Pap smear results were evaluated using the Bethesda 2001 system. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed for data analysis. Results: The majority of the 620 participants were young and middle-aged. Among the microscopic findings, superficial squamous cells, polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes, lactobacilli, squamous metaplasia, mature squamous cells, immature squamous cells, and endocervical cells were observed. The presence of transformation components, other quality indicators, and non-neoplastic conditions varied significantly across different age groups. The incidence of bacteria in Pap smear results was higher in young female patients in Turkey compared to the literature. Conclusions: Pap smear tests may yield false results, warranting consideration of age and cultural differences, particularly among women from diverse populations. Although human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is cost-effective in preventing cervical precancerous lesions, the Pap smear remains a preferred and financially viable method, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. The findings of this study contribute to the existing literature, and emphasize the importance of expanding cervical cancer screening programs and raising awareness among women. Large-scale multicenter studies are warranted to further validate these findings.

Methods: Relevant data were acquired through systematic retrieval from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library before October 2022. We determined the odd ratio or the mean difference with their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) to explore the relationship between relevant risk factors and postoperative endometriosis relapse. Results: This meta-analysis ultimately covered 6388 patients from 18 trials, and the findings demonstrated that postoperative endometriosis recurrence was associated with the age at surgery [mean difference (MD) (95% CI) = –0.69 (–1.33~–0.05), p = 0.04], family history [odds ratio (OR) (95% CI) = 2.18 (1.10~4.29), p = 0.02], preoperative carbohydrate antigen (CA-125) [MD (95% CI) = 24.08 (–7.55~40.61), p = 0.004], laterality of endometriosis (EMs) [OR (95% CI) = 1.19 (1.00~1.40), p = 0.04], presence of adenomyosis [OR (95% CI) = 1.53 (1.11~2.11), p = 0.009], presence of myoma [OR (95% CI) = 1.44 (1.07~1.94), p = 0.02], previous endometriosis-related surgery [OR (95% CI) = 1.90 (1.45~2.51), p < 0.00001], and r-American Fertility Society (r-AFS) stage [OR (95% CI) = 0.30 (0.19~0.46), p < 0.00001]/[OR (95% CI) = 0.57 (0.48~0.66), p < 0.00001]. In addition, postoperative pregnancy [OR (95% CI) = 0.40 (0.19~0.82), p = 0.01] and postoperative medication [OR (95% CI) = 1.64 (1.02~2.62), p = 0.04] were indicated protective factors for the prevention of postoperative ovarian endometriosis relapse. Conclusions: Risk factors for postoperative endometriosis recurrence included the age at surgery, family history, CA-125, laterality of EMs, presence of adenomyosis, presence of myoma, previous endometriosis-related surgery, and r-AFS stage. In addition, protective factors for preventing postoperative recurrence included postoperative pregnancy and postoperative medication. However, the age of menarche, infertility, the extent of surgery, cyst size, body mass index, and dysmenorrhea were unrelated to postoperative recurrence. The sample size could be increased for further investigations.

Published: September 2023

Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (obstructive HCM) is a hereditary disease characterized by septal hypertrophy and dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. Other than septal hypertrophy, mitral valve abnormalities are also quite common in patients with obstructive HCM, which may contribute to systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve and LVOT obstruction. Surgical myectomy is the standard treatment to achieve anatomic correction of obstructive HCM, but controversies remain on whether and how the mitral valve procedures should be performed at the same time. In this review, we first described the mitral valve abnormalities in patients with obstructive HCM and their surgical corrections, we then explained the controversies based on current clinical studies, and we finally made a brief introduction on our surgical strategy and results.

Engineering is evolution: a perspective on the biological design process
Authors: Castle Simeon D. , Gorochowski Thomas E
Published: September 2023

Careful consideration of the way we approach design is relevant to all fields of biotechnology. However, what we do when we design and how we should go about the process has received little thought in the context of biological engineering. To do so is crucial because existing paradigms for choosing and developing design methodologies may not yield the most effective design processes. Biology itself is capable of something like design: natural evolution is a powerful creative problem solver. We argue that design and evolution, in fact, follow the same cyclical process of generating variant solutions, testing these in an environment, and selecting the best performers. All design methods, including traditional design, directed evolution, and even random trial and error, exist on an evolutionary design spectrum, characterised by their population size and the number of design cycles. This is in contrast with conventional views that place directed evolution and rational design at odds with each other. Unifying design in this way provides a valuable conceptual framework for tailoring engineering approaches to challenging biological design problems.

PeRsOnalised Integrated CARE Solution for Elderly (PROCare4Life) has been an EU funded project running since January 2020 until June 2023, whose focus has been to further develop and integrate previous ICT solutions developed by several previous EU funded projects into a unique modular system able to support the autonomy, empowerment and to increase the Quality of Life (QoL) of elderly people living with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or similar dementia, having also tested the system for elderly people living with comorbidities. This article focuses on the methodology and results used to identify the internal Lessons Learned. PROCare4Life has been developed using a codesign approach involving more than 2000 participants whose support has been listened to and transformed into valuable changes of the system and also into lessons learned included in this case study report. Since the beginning of the implementation of PROCare4Life there has been a commitment to make invisible knowledge visible through open discussion and including our lessons learned in each of our deliverables. In the last six months of implementation, to the previous results internal qualitative research has been implemented by PROCare4Life consortium to identify and select our most relevant challenges and recommendations for future projects and initiatives. PROCare4Life was highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is acknowledged in the lessons learned. However, the consortium has focused on the recommendations that could be more valuable for ordinary implementation of future projects and initiatives developing eHealth tools for elderly citizens living with conditions that might affect their cognitive or mobility capacities.
The search termination criterion mediating under exploration of 3D volumetric images
Authors: Klein Devi , Eckstein Miguel P
Published: September 2023

3D volumetric images are prevalent in industries ranging from radiology and oncology to airport luggage screenings. With 3D medical images, however, radiologists are visually overburdened by the vast amount of image data requiring inspection. Radiologists and trained (non-radiologist) observers often under-explore 3D images—producing misses of small targets that are undetectable in the visual periphery. We investigate why observers under-explore 3D images and what quitting criterion they use when reporting, “target absent.” Six trained observers participated in two eye-tracking experiments to analyze three possible explanations for the under-exploration in 3D search: (1) a time or (2) a count of eye movements, or (3) an area explored by the Useful Field of View (UFOV) search-termination criterion. Experiment 1 derived measured and estimated UFOVs per observer. We tested the detectability of a small and large target embedded in 1/f noise as a function of retinal eccentricity. Observers also estimated how well they could see the two targets in their visual periphery. Experiment 2 had participants engage in a 2D and a 3D search for the two targets. Neither time nor a fixed number of eye movements criterion could explain the search termination in reported target-absent trials in 2D or 3D. However, the area explored with estimated but not measured UFOVs was consistent across targets (2D and 3D). Moreover, while performing the 3D search, people covered the 2D image plane with their estimated and measured UFOVs to the same extent as in the 2D search task, leaving much of the 3D volume unexplored.
An Ecological and Embodied Approach for Training the Racecar Driver
Authors: Ziv Gal
Published: September 2023

In the dynamic sport of racecar driving, split-second decisions and rapid execution are imperative. Such an environment requires a tight functional coupling of perception and action. This perspective paper introduces a framework for training racecar drivers rooted in ecological and embodied perspectives. The framework delves into three pivotal affordances of racecar driving: turn-ability, overtake-ability, and defend-ability – as well as the nested affordances that can allow drivers to accomplish them. In addition, the paper discusses the relevant environment and equipment (i.e., simulators) that can be useful for training racecar drivers. Coaches are encouraged to try and implement the proposed training strategies (or parts of it), evaluating their impact on racing performance. Furthermore, I hope this perspective paper will lure researchers into exploring these principles through interventional studies, fostering a fusion of empirical insights with practical expertise from coaches and racing communities. By synergizing empirical research with insights from practitioners, we can refine the strategies employed in the training of racecar drivers.
Wellbeing in Times of Decline: The Feasibility and Effectiveness of Degrowth for Sustainability
Authors: Komatsu Hikaru , Rappleye Jeremy
Published: September 2023

In the intensifying debate between degrowth and green growth, many recognize that degrowth is more effective. However, concerns about degrowth persist in regard to public acceptance of declining economic standards. Analyzing the experience of Greece during a long-term economic decline, this study finds that subjective wellbeing temporarily decreased but eventually rebounded to pre-decline levels. This indicates that a decline in economic standards does not necessarily result in a long-term wellbeing decline. Furthermore, Greece outperformed other European countries that pursued green growth policies in environmental reductions. Greece highlights the feasibility and effectiveness of degrowth for sustainability.
