Review of Methods Available for Numerical Evaluation of Blast-Loaded Structures
Authors: Trajkovski Jovan
Published: February 2025

The Empirical ConWep, Multi-Material Arbitrary-Language-Euler (MM-ALE) and Smooth-Particle-Hydrodynamics (SPH) are most widely used methods for numerical evaluation of blast-loaded structures. They differ in the possibilities they offer, their computational efficiency as well as the required scientific and numerical knowledge for their proper and effective usage. They have their own advantages and disadvantages depending also on the structural geometry and its relative position with regard to the blast wave source location. In this paper, the results comparison of a detailed numerical examination using the ConWep, MM-ALE, and SPH methods is presented. The simulation tests were performed using armour steel plates in LS-DYNA. The comparison results showed that the ConWep and SPH methods offer better results and efficiency and require a lower level of user experience compared to the MM-ALE method. The results of this paper are important in the decision making process, when selecting an appropriate method for blast response analyses of structures.

Authors: Bedon Chiara  , Kruszka Leopold
Published: February 2025

Finite element method procedures of solution of masonry walls during non-stationary dynamic processes allow taking into calculations tensile and shearing strengths of brick and mortar, as well as, geometrical non-linear behaviour of those brick walls, i.e., large displacements, rotation and bending at conditions of three dimensional state of deformation. Numerical results obtained for 3D-deformation and failure process of brick wall model with a thickness of 0.25 m, 2 m in length and 0.54 m in height loaded explosively in variants of charge mass 1 kg and 1.8 kg at the distance of 2 m were compatible qualitatively with experimental results for this considered wall analyzed for various types of its reinforcements. These retrofits have caused considerable resistance of such protective masonry wall against explosive aerial shock wave.
Application of New Materials – Composite and Metal Foams in Buildings
Authors: Kovács Tünde Anna  , Nyikes Zoltán
Published: February 2025

Building protection in our century is very important because of terrorist attacks. Old buildings in Europe are not enough strong against blast loads. Nowadays, we know many different explosives and their effects on walls and human bodies. Detonations caused by blast effect provoke building damage and fragmentation effects. The explosion causes damages and next parts of bricks and fragments produce other secondary damages in other buildings and human bodies. New possibilities to improve the resistance of buildings against blast effects need to be found. It requires effectively thin and strong materials to reinforce the walls of a building. New materials innovated by material science can be a good solution for this project. These materials are usually composites like syntactic foams, spherical shells or carbon fields reinforced composites. In the last century designed, old, maybe world heritage or critical infrastructure buildings, used sometimes for public service offices, were planned without the calculation of special shock load. It is impossible to protect these buildings thanks to new curtain construction without changes in the city landscape. New materials, absorbing high-energy can be useful for increasing the defence capabilities of these buildings. New composites and metal foams innovated by material science would be suitable.

Terrorism in Southeast Europe – The Serbia Case
Authors: Dragišić Zoran
Published: February 2025

Every state's attitude towards fighting terrorism, therefore Serbia's too can be regarded on several levels. The first level relates to the actual terrorist threat a particular state is facing, the second level refers to the state's capacity to oppose terrorism, and the third level is the public perception of terrorist threat, and the state organs' strategic determination towards fighting terrorism. When talking about the terrorist threat to Serbia, we must look at a wider picture that shows the problems of the whole southeast Europe region, which is an aggregate with regard to the issues of security. The fact that the same criminal and terrorist groups threaten all countries in this region with terrorism and organized crime is the key factor that links them into a single security network.
Influence of Religious Extremism on the Stability and Security of Democratic Societies in the Balkans
Authors: Chifu Iulian
Published: February 2025

Religion in itself is not the cause of any conflict. However, very often it is dragged into several conflicts and is used as a motif for concentrating and polarizing the communities in a war because of the force and the important sense of identity that a principle such as faith gives to people. Important actors and stakeholders drive the conflict and push one community against the other based on differences in their religious identity. Extremists are fighting to preserve their group identity and echo the way that they imagine or perceive religion themselves (or are led by false preachers of the same extreme interpretation of their religion). This cosmic fight between the forces of evil and good is current in religious conflicts and their violent actions allegedly represent the necessary responses to the threats of the criminal other—which is also a result of a value judgment of the extremist and not an objective result of evaluation.

Notification and Recordkeeping of Occupational Mesothelioma in India
Authors: Singh Raja , Frank Arthur L
Published: February 2025

This paper studies the number of occupational mesothelioma cases that have been reported as per law to the factories and mines regulators in India. Zero cases of mesothelioma, which is a notified/notifiable disease under the Mines Act 1952, and notified/notifiable under the broad category of occupational cancers under the Factories Act 1948, have been notified between 2004 and 2024 (with the factory data compiled only for 8 years). This highlights many issues, including the lack of recordkeeping of occupational diseases when there are cases of mesothelioma being reported by hospitals under the National Cancer Registry Program and many being reported in the scientific literature from India. Though the lack of data may not mean the lack of disease, these cases of mesothelioma may either point to a non-occupational exposure to asbestos as an aetiology for such cases or indicate the need for fixing the recordkeeping and notification of cancers, including mesothelioma, as many occupational cases are reported in the scientific literature. This is especially true as India is one of the largest users and processors of imported asbestos, a user of talcum powder, and has other potential sources of exposure. With mesothelioma being a surrogate for asbestos exposure, this public health hazard needs focussed implementation of regulated safeguards both occupationally and through non-occupational exposures.

Authors: Karumanchi Yashwanth , Prasanna Gudala Laxmi , Mukherjee Snehasis , Kolagani Nagesh
Published: February 2025

Automatic monitoring of tree plantations plays a crucial role in agriculture. Flawless monitoring of tree health helps farmers make informed decisions regarding their management by taking appropriate action. Use of drone images for automatic plantation monitoring can enhance the accuracy of the monitoring process, while still being affordable to small farmers in developing countries such as India. Small, low cost drones equipped with an RGB camera can capture high-resolution images of agricultural fields, allowing for detailed analysis of the well-being of the plantations. Existing methods of automated plantation monitoring are mostly based on satellite images, which are difficult to get for the farmers. We propose an automated system for plantation health monitoring using drone images, which are becoming easier to get for the farmers. We propose a dataset of images of trees with three categories: “Good health”, “Stunted”, and “Dead”. We annotate the dataset using CVAT annotation tool, for use in research purposes. We experiment with different well-known CNN models to observe their performance on the proposed dataset. The initial low accuracy levels show the complexity of the proposed dataset. Further, our study revealed that, depth-wise convolution operation embedded in a deep CNN model, can enhance the performance of the model on drone dataset. Further, we apply state-of-the-art object detection models to identify individual trees to better monitor them automatically. The dataset along with annotations, and the codes, will be open sourced for further research.

Published: February 2025

The production of bioethanol from organic waste is a promising option for sustainability. This study evaluated the quality of bioethanol obtained from bellaco plantain (Musa paradisiaca) waste in Amazonas, Peru. A total of 45 samples were used with different waste-to-water ratios: 0.5 kg per 5.5 liters, 1 kg per 5 liters, 1.5 kg per 4.5 liters, 2 kg per 4 liters, and 2.5 kg per 3.5 liters. Fermentation was conducted for 192, 196 and 200 hours. No significant differences were observed among the analyzed waste-to-water concentrations. However, fermentation time significantly affected the alcohol content. At 192 hours, the average alcohol content was 60.69%, while at 196 and 200 hours, it was 34.64% and 44.38%, respectively. Fermentation at 192 hours resulted in a significantly higher alcohol content compared to 196 and 200 hours. These findings suggest that a 192-hour fermentation period is the most efficient for obtaining high-quality bioethanol, with potential economic and quality benefits.

The superFGD (sFGD), a scintillator detector, has been chosen as the target for neutrino in the T2K near detector upgrade. Its design enables nearly 4π coverage for neutrino interactions, leading to lower energy thresholds and reduced systematic errors in the experiment. The sFGD is assembled of optically-isolated scintillators measuring 1 × 1 × 1 cm3, it ensures the nessary spatial and energy resolution to minimize uncertainties in future T2K runs. With close to two million cubes assembled into a volumn of 1920 × 560 × 1840 mm3, the sFGD is a significant advencement. A prototypeconsisting of 4×4×3 cubes was studied using cosmic rays. The sFGD prototype, consisting of 48 cubes, was instrumented. We also present the results of the GEANT4 simulation of this prototype. Cosmic ray muon tracks crossing this prototype were simulated by the CRY generator. The results on angular distribution and energy deposition are studied at Tokai (36°27'42.8’N 140°35'57.7’E) and are presented in this paper.

Introduction: The influenza virus undergoes constant mutation, necessitating annual updates to the seasonal flu vaccine. Traditional vaccine methods struggle to keep pace with the rapid mutation rate of this virus. This study aimed to develop a universal mRNA vaccine using immunoinformatic approaches to effectively target various strains of influenza A viruses (IAVs). Specifically, this study identified epitopes capable of eliciting T-cell-mediated immune responses for inclusion in vaccine design.

Methods: Immunoinformatic tools from the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) were used to direct neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against hemagglutinin (HA) molecules. T lymphocyte epitopes were predicted using multiple sequence alignment from Clustal Omega. These epitopes were filtered through a pipeline to assess their affinity for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class 1 molecules and their conservation across various IAV strains.

Results: After data cleaning, 82,200 of the 91,093 HA amino acid sequences of 15 human-infected IAV strains were eligible for subsequent epitope prediction and conservation assessment. The lengths of the HA amino acid sequences across the 15 strains predominantly fell within the range of 560–567 amino acids. MHC class 1 interaction analysis revealed 16 antigenic sequences generally located in the stalk domain of HA. Among those, 11 were found to have a consensus. Five consensus sequences with strong binding scores were converted into universal mRNA sequences that were ready to be used for subsequent vaccine research.

Conclusion: Consesus and antigenic HA sequences were successfully designed for use against diverse IAV strains, particularly those circulating in Vietnam. The use of immune-informatics tools with stalk-directed strategies has been shown to be an effective step in viral vaccine development.

Authors: Kochetkova I. A. , Maryushina T. О. , Kryukovskaya G. M. , Matveeva M. V.
Published: February 2025

Relevance. Convulsive syndrome is one of the most common neurological signs in small pets, so the interpretation of these clinical manifestations is relevant. Generalized epileptic seizures can precede many diseases. Consistent examination tactics for animals with a history of absences, myoclonic and clonic-tonic paroxysms allow for the correct differential diagnosis and correct diagnosis of this patient. Most often, epileptogenic foci responsible for involuntary motor activity in cats and dogs indicate the involvement of cerebral tissues in the pathological process. Only magnetic resonance imaging makes it possible to accurately assess the integrity of the parenchyma and membranes of the brain, as well as the structures adjacent to it. Using this method of visual diagnosis, it is possible to assess the volume and localization of the affected area. The article presents a description and an MRI examination of cats and dogs with neurological symptoms in the form of spontaneous paroxysms. The publication shows the importance and necessity of magnetic resonance imaging in cases of severe motor disorders in animals. The correlation between convulsive syndrome and neurological diagnosis in the examined animals was determined, in accordance with species, breed and age characteristics. The pattern of development of structural changes in the brain and its membranes with concomitant convulsive syndrome has been revealed. Anamnestic data and neurological examination data are presented, which make it possible to determine the intended diagnosis at an early stage. The authors present MRI images of dogs and cats, in all possible (sagittal, axial, coronal) planes, with convulsive syndrome and subsequent established neurological diagnosis.

The purpose of the work is to substantiate the use of magnetic resonance imaging as a visual diagnostic method for the differentiation of convulsive syndrome in animals.

Ensuring patient safety and improving hospital quality begins with the patient admission process. Patient misidentification can significantly contribute to patient safety incidents; therefore, monitoring the performance of patient admission staff is crucial in preventing adverse events. Staff performance assessment includes evaluation of attitude, professional development, and service performance. This study aims to develop a performance assessment model based on the Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) method. This study utilized a qualitative approach with an exploratory design. Data were collected through observations, interviews, document reviews, and surveys. Four staff members from outpatient admissions participated in the study. The study outlined assessment components consisting of attitude (7 aspects), professional development (3 aspects), and service performance (23 aspects). Self-assessment results showed all staff demonstrated competence in attitude and service delivery, while a minority lacked competence in professional development. The outpatient admission staff performance assessment model, based on the Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) method, integrates three aspects (attitude, professional development, and service performance) and can be effectively implemented in hospitals to evaluate and monitor service quality.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment and often necessitates the assistance of family caregivers. One of the challenges faced by family caregivers in caring for T2DM patients is the psychological pressure that can affect their ability to cope with the situation. Psychological stress demands external support, particularly from Community Health Center (Puskesmas) services, which becomes crucial. This study aims to explore the relationship between Community Health Center support services and the coping mechanisms of family caregivers for T2DM patients in Malang, Indonesia. This research employs an observational design with a cross-sectional approach involving 324 family caregivers selected through cluster random sampling technique from an average of 1,787 monthly visits, using the Lamesow sample size formula from 1997. Data collection was conducted using the Health Service Support Questionnaire (HSSQ) and the Family Coping Index (FCI). Data analysis utilized the Spearman Rank test. The data analysis indicated a p-value (0.000) < α (0.05), which shows a significant relationship between health service support (Puskesmas) and the coping mechanisms of family caregivers. In conclusion, there is an important relationship between primary health service support and the coping strategies of families caring for T2DM patients. The findings of this study recommend the implementation of special programs for family caregivers of T2DM patients, aiming to improve the skills and effectiveness of home care assistance.

Hemostasis is a combination of events following vascular injury, including vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, recanalization, and debridement. Clotting time is an assessment to determine the time required for blood to clot in vitro. This study aimed to determine the effect of sappan wood ethanol extract on the outcome of the clotting time test using the Lee and White method. This study is experimental, with several samples of 32 divided into three groups, using the Lee and White method clotting time examination. Group C as a control group (1 mL of venous blood only), P1 and P2 as much as 1 mL of venous blood by adding 0.3 grams and 0.4 grams of sappan wood ethanol extract, respectively. The data analysis used was One-way ANOVA with Post hoc LSD test. One-way ANOVA test revealed significant differences between research groups (<0.05). Post hoc LSD results showed a significant difference between P1 and P2 compared to group C. It can be summarized that there is a difference in the results of the Lee and White method clotting time examination between blood with and without sappan wood ethanol extract.

The quality of nursing services for hemodialysis patients is determined by the role and performance of nurses. High workloads are often the reason nurses leave work, which can disrupt the continuity of patient care. A high workload can have a negative impact on the quality of nurses' work, while a balanced workload can improve the quality of work. This study used a cross-section design with a sample of 35 hemodialysis nurses at RSUD Dr. Soetomo. The research was carried out in the Hemodialysis room at Dr Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. Research data regarding workload and service quality variables was collected through questionnaires. Research data was processed using Spearmen rho with a p-value ≤ 0.05. The statistical test results show that the p-value is 0.000, so it can be interpreted that H0 is rejected. This indicates a relationship between nurses' workload and the quality of hemodialysis services. The workload creates optimal nurse performance in carrying out actions. The performance of nurses in hemodialysis tasks, which are quite complex, with the number of patients being disproportionate to the number of nurses, has an effect on the quality of nursing services.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are disorders that occur in muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints. Complaints of MSDs often occur in adolescent school-age individuals, thus requiring health education through animated video media regarding early prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic attitudes. This study aims to identify the influence of using animated videos on the level of knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits and to analyze the relationship between MSDs knowledge and postural habits. This research used a Quasi-Experimental method with a pretest-posttest approach with a control group. The convenience sampling technique was used with 75 samples. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis, namely with difference and cross-tabulation tests. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents were female, 16 years old, with normal body mass index (BMI), parents' education level of high school, and income above the minimum wage. There were differences in the level of knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits in the intervention and control groups, with obtained values of p = 0.006 and p = 0.016 (p < α, α = 0.05). There was a relationship between the level of knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits, with an obtained value of p = 0.013 (p < α, α = 0.05). Thus, it is concluded that the provision of animated videos significantly influences knowledge of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and postural habits.
