Current Status of Wound Dressing Research in Biomaterials
Authors: Yang Yang
Published: April 2024

Skin is the body's first defense against external injuries, in daily production life, skin as an organ is easily injured, forming surface trauma. Wound dressings play a pivotal role in the process of skin wound repair. In order to meet the clinical demand for wound dressings, functional wound dressings with excellent biocompatibility, excellent antimicrobial activity, absorption of wound exudate and promotion of wound tissue repair have been developed. We categorize wound dressings into traditional medical dressings and novel medical wound dressings, and review the wound dressings included in the latter in terms of types, preparation methods, and effects. In future treatments for chronic wounds, researchers will integrate and utilize the antimicrobial activity, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties of wound dressings to investigate advanced wound dressings with multiple functions.

Smooth Transition Control Strategy for Operation Modes of Optical Storage Microgrid based on VSG
Authors: Huang Guiping , Xia Yan , Yang Kai
Published: April 2024

Addressing the challenge of suppressing voltage and frequency oscillations during mode transitions and achieving smooth transitions between grid-connected and islanded operation modes in peer-to-peer structured optical storage microgrids, is an urgent technical issue. This paper proposes a control strategy for smooth mode transitions based on numerical soft starters, focusing on the dynamic characteristics of voltage and frequency in optical storage microgrids during grid-connected and islanded operation modes. The numerical soft starter smoothens the input reference value of the current inner loop, reducing the impact of transient surge current on the current inner loop during transitions, thus ensuring the oscillations of bus voltage and frequency during microgrid mode transitions. In islanded operation mode, a VSG control strategy is introduced by constructing a small signal model to analyze the frequency response characteristics of the system under different inertia and damping characteristics, setting appropriate control parameters to provide strong frequency support for the system during islanded operation. Finally, an optical storage microgrid system is established using Matlab/Simulink to conduct simulation experiments under conditions such as grid-connected/islanded mode transitions, load fluctuations, and sudden changes in photovoltaic output power, validating the effectiveness of the proposed smoothing strategy.
Modeling the Ecosystem Water Use Efficiency of Croplands Using Machine Learning and MODIS Data
Authors: Meng Xianye , Zheng Xin , Huang Jiaojiao
Published: April 2024

The ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE), which is the ratio of carbon gain (gross primary productivity, GPP) to water consumption (evapotranspiration, ET), is widely regarded as a crucial link in coupling the carbon and water cycles of terrestrial ecosystems on a global scale. The estimation of cropland WUE is considerably important for improving agricultural management, simulating the carbon–water cycle processes of croplands, and enhancing crop yields. Currently, the estimate of WUE primary relies on the modeled GPP and ET data. However, differences in model structures and parameter uncertainties cause remarkable differences in the accuracy of the estimated WUE among different models. The eddy covariance technology enables the continuous observation and research of carbon and water fluxes at a site scale, ensuring simulation accuracy. However, the technology is constrained by its limited spatial coverage. In this study, we integrated data from 20 global cropland sites and built 7 machine learning models based on remote sensing to directly estimate cropland WUE, thereby expanding the spatial scope of WUE simulations, omitting the simulation process for obtaining GPP and ET, and ensuring a certain degree of precision. Results show that, compared with other machine learning algorithms, the ensemble learning model has the strongest ability to reproduce cropland WUE, with a determination coefficient of 0.90 and a root mean square error of 1.54–1.75 . These results indicate that a combination of machine learning methods and remote sensing can reasonably simulate the WUE of agricultural ecosystems.
Sources and Treatment Methods of Excessive Manganese Ion in Groundwater in A Certain Area
Authors: Wang Zhiqiang
Published: April 2024

Trace element manganese is an essential element for human body, but the high concentration of manganese will adversely affect human health and all aspects of daily production and life. Elevated levels of manganese directly affect the color of the water, making it more prone to discoloration when used to wash clothes or dishes. Prolonged exposure to this water may cause organ damage. The groundwater in the study area is sampled and tested, and the test data is analyzed. The main results are as follows: the groundwater manganese ions in the study area exceed the standard, and the concentration of manganese ions in the southwest mountainous area is higher than that in other areas. In southwest China, due to the planting of a large number of tea trees, the main source of manganese in groundwater is manganese-containing fertilizer, and sewage recovery and treatment should be considered in combination with slope rainwater recovery equipment. In other fields, the manganese in groundwater is mainly from domestic sewage. The combined treatment of manganese ions in groundwater by chemical method and contact oxidation method is considered.

Attribution Analysis of Discharge Variations in the Inner Mongolia Basin of the Yellow River
Authors: Guo Yongxiao
Published: April 2024

Climate change and human activities are the main causes of discharge variation. Therefore, calculating the contribution of climate change and human activities to discharge variation in the Inner Mongolia Basin of the Yellow River can provide a reference basis for alleviating water resources stress in the Inner Mongolia Basin of the Yellow River. Firstly, based on the water balance theory and the Budyko hypothesis-based evapotranspiration formula, this study constructed a coupled water and heat balance equation and calibrated and validated the model using observed annual discharge depth data from the Toudao Guai hydrological station. The results show that the water-heat coupling model has good simulation accuracy at the annual scale, with NSE=0.76, RMSE=10.45, and RRMSE=19.5%, and overall, the simulated discharge results are close to the observed values. Secondly, this study also used the Mann-Kendall test method to determine the abrupt change points of discharge and analyzed the contribution rates of various meteorological factors. The results indicate that precipitation accounts for 88.79% of the discharge variation in the Inner Mongolia segment of the Yellow River basin, followed by land surface changes at 13.6%, while potential evaporation has the smallest contribution to discharge variation.
Does research support the current conservative care recommendations for pregnancy-related diastasis rectus abdominis? A scoping review
Authors: Dufour S. , Petrusevski C.
Published: April 2024

Pregnancy-related diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) is a widespread condition. The current evidence for its conservative management is contradictory, as are the criteria for making a diagnosis, which has stimulated debate among practitioners. The aim of this scoping review was to synthesize the existing peer-reviewed literature to determine whether there is evidence to support or refute recently published recommendations for the conservative care of perinatal DRA. These guidelines suggest that it should be approached from the perspective of considering the linea alba (LA) as an integrative component of the thoracopelvic abdominal system, which assumes functional relationships between the structures of the thorax and pelvis. Specifically, the present authors explored whether relationships exist between: (1) the LA and breathing mechanics; (2) pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function; (3) lumbopelvic pain (LPP) control; and (4) aspects of the structure and function of the abdominal wall. Of the 31 studies included, none were found relating to the LA and breathing mechanics, 11 investigated PFM function, 10 explored LPP, and 18 examined the LA with respect to the structure and/or function of the abdominal wall. The research reviewed does not appear to substantiate several of the recommendations for the conservative care of DRA, but does align with cited gaps in knowledge about this condition. The studies included neither support nor necessarily refute the relationships between breathing, PFM function and LPP. This scoping review also highlights the limitations of the current characterization of DRA and related assessment strategies, particularly the reliance on heterogeneous measurements of inter-recti distance as the primary and sometimes only measurement to inform clinical reasoning with respect to the condition.
Treatment overshadowing as a reason for patient non-attendance at pelvic-floor muscle training sessions
Authors: Osborne L. A. , Whittall C. M. , Emery S. , Vij M. , Reed P.
Published: April 2024

This study explores the reasons for patient non-attendance at scheduled pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) sessions. Although only limited research has been conducted on this topic, it is crucial to understand its implications for resources, non-attendance rates and the significance of the underlying reasons. Forty-four women were selected at random from patients with pelvic floor dysfunction who had not attended a scheduled PFMT session within the past 12 months. Semi-structured telephone interviews were used to gain information about the reasons for patient non-attendance, and three were identified by qualitative analysis. Life events and comorbidities, as well as administrative issues (e.g. not receiving the appointment letter) were found to be important. A new issue, termed “treatment overshadowing”, was also identified, i.e. the manner with which one treatment option was introduced by a referring medical practitioner interfered with the consideration of the other options. The latter has potential for further exploration and action to improve non-attendance rates at subsequent PFMT sessions.

Authors:   Asos Process Engineering Ergene Tekirdag, Sengul Aysun , Celen Soner , Haksever Aysen ,   Tekirdag Namık Kemal University, Corlu Faculty of Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 59830, Turkey
Published: April 2024

The experimental and theoretical relationships of silica sand particle size and drying was compared to predict the minimum fluidization rate in drying at 9.57% moisture. The drying temperature (90°C, 120°C, and 150°C) and particle size (274 ± 0.5 μm, 563 ± 0.5 μm, and 910 ± 0.5 μm) parameters were studied as factors influencing the drying process in the experiment. Upon comparing all the test results, it was found that moisture loss accelerated as drying temperature of the silica sand samples increased. On the other hand, the minimum fluidization rate was found to have varied directly with particle size, in addition to being inversely proportional to temperature. Moreover, it was observed that pressure increased with increasing particle diameter and reduced with decreasing temperature.

Introduction: Recently, institutions have promoted English language ability among personnel to improve communication with students and professors. Many employees may lack motivation to learn or use English at work. Language learning motivation might be integrative, instrumental, or both. This study examines administrative and academic support staff's English learning motivation at a Karachi private institution. Problem Statement: Some university staff may lack motivation to study English, despite its relevance. Staff English language acquisition strategies can benefit from understanding motivation. Methodology: This quantitative study assessed administrative and academic support staff English learning motivation. Data was acquired using a modified Kitjaroonchai (2012) questionnaire. Participants' motivation mean scores were interpreted using Degang (2010). Mean scores and standard deviation were used in data analysis. Results/Findings: The study found that most participants were very motivated to learn English interactively and instrumentally. This implies that Karachi's private university's administrative and academic support staff value language acquisition. Future Direction: Future research could identify the causes of this study's high motivation. Interventions to improve English language learning and staff assistance could also be tested. Understanding and tackling motivation hurdles can help university personnel learn English

Published: April 2024

Introduction: Hepatitis - B Virus is a prevalent viral hepatitis, with high morbidity, and mortality worldwide. It affects 2 billion people, especially those with limited healthcare access and low socioeconomic status. It causes liver problems which may be acute or chronic. HBV is transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy (vertical transmission) and also transmitted from infected individuals to others (horizontal transmission). In our society, the family living system is a joint system, many people live in a single house which results in the sharing of different personal items. So, there are high chances of intra-familial cases of HBV. This study aimed to find out the intra-familial cases of HBV infections and their associated risk factors of transmission within a family in District Mardan.
Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Pathology, Mardan Medical Complex, District Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan. After ethical approval and informed consent from participants a total of 36 positive families of HBV were taken by using a non-probability convenience sampling method. Data was collected from positive individuals with the help of a pre-designed questionnaire. That data was analyzed through SPSS version 22.
Results: Out of 36 families, 50% had no HBV-positive members, while 50% had positive individuals. There were 18 households (50%) with only one member positive for HBV, 12 families (33.3%) with two members, 4 families (11.1%) with three individuals, and 2 families (5.6%) with four members. There were three major risk factors present, which resulted in intra-family HBV transmission. There were 7 (19.4%) families where Vertical transmission was the main risk factor. 7 were (19.4%) due to the use of personal hygiene goods, whereas 4 families (11.1%) were due to unsafe sexual intercourse among couples (husband/wife).
Conclusion: There was an equal chance of the hepatitis B virus to affect only one member of a family or have transmission to other members within a family. Multiple risk factors are involved in the transmission of HBV in a family but most of the cases were due to vertical transmission, use of personal hygienic items, and unsafe sexual intercourse between (couples)wife and husband in district Mardan, Pakistan.

Published: April 2024

Background: Plasmodium is a type of parasite that causes malaria. Fiveknown species of Plasmodium can cause malaria in humans, Plasmodium falciparum, plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium knowlesi. This study was designed to assess the effect of plasmodium vivax infection on malaria-associated hematological parameters.
Material and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar. The duration of the study was four (04) months from June to September 2023. A total of 384 samples possessed positive malarial parasite on peripheral smear both genders having different ages groups  were included in the study. Variables such as age frequencies and percentage were reported for gender, hemoglobin, platelets, and white blood cells (WBC). This study was approved by the Ethical Committee of   Ahmad Medical Institute, Peshawar. All collected data were analyzed through SPSS-22.
Result: The study findings revealed that 196(51.0%) patients were males and 186(49%) were females. Out of 384 patients, 178 (46.4%) were between 10-30 years, 164(42.7%) were between 31-50 years, and 42(10.9%) were between 51-70 years age. Furthermore, out of 384, 11(2.9%) were normal, 69(18.0%) were anemic, 154(40.1%) were thrombocytopenia, 28(7.3%) were leukocytosis. Overall, distribution of thrombocytopenia, 120(31.3%) were no thrombocytopenia, 113 (29.4%) were mild thrombocytopenia, 104 (27.1%) were moderate thrombocytopenia, 47(12.4) were severe thrombocytopenia.
Conclusion: Gaining further knowledge about these hematological indicators would enable their application in monitoring treatment response and early detection of malaria complications. The two most frequent hematological abnormalities results associated with malaria infection were thrombocytopenia and anemia.

[Objective] To explore the first time out of bed comfort of patients after lumbar surgery and its influencing factors. [Methods] A total of 158 patients with lumbar disc herniation and sciatica were selected from March 2023 to August 2023. [Results] Among the 158 patients, 56 cases underwent early inclusion of ambulation, 102 cases did not complete early ambulation. The first ambulation time is 12 hours after operation and concentrated on the second day after operation. Single factor analysis showed that two groups of 24 h postoperatively in patients with early pain, fatigue, upright intolerance, sleep quality, early ambulation will, total protein level, anxiety, depression score, postoperative rehabilitation self-efficacy comparison, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative pain score, early fatigue, orthostatic intolerance, sleep quality, anxiety and depression score, and rehabilitation self-efficacy score had great influence on early ambulation. [Conclusion] The current situation of early ambulation comfort of patients with lumbar disc herniation after surgery is not good. Nursing staff should strengthen postoperative pain management, encourage patients to enhance confidence, improve the ambulation mode of patients to reduce upright intolerance and fatigue, so as to promote early ambulation of patients and speed up early rehabilitation of patients.
The place and role of Chinese themes in Russian literature of the XIX – early XX centuries
Authors: Shagbanova Khabiba Sadyrovna
Published: April 2024

The article presents the artistic perception of Chinese culture in the Russian literature of the XIX – early XX centuries. The author sets out to show a generalized image of China in the works of Russian prose writers and poets in a given historical period of time. The relevance of the research lies in the increased interest of modern linguistic science in the problems of intercultural dialogue. It is noted that the study of Chinese subjects in Russian literature is of indisputable interest for understanding the peculiarities of intercultural communication between Russia and China. The multifaceted Chinese culture is revealed through the eyes of Russian writers of the past centuries, who were attracted by Chinese images, plots, and motives. The history of Russian-Chinese relations is traced in the mirror of advanced Russian culture of the XIX – early XX centuries. The tendency to understand China as a unique civilization distinct from the European one, which had already emerged at that time, stands out. It is stated that the substantial development of ideas about China in Russian literature, at the time interval of interest to the researcher, is directly related to the emerging socio-political situation in the Russian Empire, the emergence of alternatives, both in terms of determining the further vector of social development, taking into account the problem of "West – Russia – East", i.e. the emerging situation of internal choice, self–determination and awareness by the ruling circles of the urgent need to work out a further path for the development of Russian statehood, taking into account the borrowing, on the one hand, of the Western, on the other – of the eastern model. This, in the author's opinion, explains the interest of representatives of Russian literature in the culture of the East, spiritual and moral values, philosophical reflections on the nature of goodness and justice, which had a centuries-old tradition in China.
The pragmalinguistic aspect of the choice of speech units in the author's strategies of literary monuments of the XV – XVI centuries.
Authors: Gaibaryan Ol'ga Ervandovna , Myasishchev Georgii Igorevich , Kosyh Aleksei Olegovich , Popov Aleksandr Maksimovich
Published: April 2024

The subject of the study is the texts of literary monuments of the XV – XVI centuries. The object of the research is the author's strategies, which are studied from the perspective of two modern areas of science: cognitive and pragmatic linguistics.The audience's reaction to the author's conviction is determined by the communicative factors of the impact of speech on the reader's consciousness and is determined by the vital connection of language and thinking. Therefore, the issues of speech impact (a pragmatic problem) and cognition in natural language (a problem of cognitive linguistics) should be considered in synthesis. This approach, according to the authors, makes it possible to study the subject side of the study most fully and achieve the goals set.The purpose of the study is to consider the possibility of classifying the speech units of texts of literary monuments of the XV – XVI centuries from the standpoint of the synthesis of cognitive and functional-pragmatic ways of studying the text.The tasks are to substantiate the possibility of synthesizing linguistic-cognitive and functional-pragmatic methods of studying author's strategies, as well as the classification of speech units of the text of monuments of the XIV – XVI centuries according to the author's strategies. The research methods are conceptual analysis and functional diagnostic method of pragmalinguistics. The ability to categorize concepts allows you to cluster them based on certain similarities and present them as units (clusters) based on the main feature. The functional nature of the choice of units acting as influencing tools that form the reader's attitude to the text, the author, the ideas of a particular author or a group as a whole. The novelty of this work lies in the possibility of combining the approaches of cognitive linguistics and functional pragmalinguistics to the study of author's strategies, which has not been widely practiced by researchers before. The achieved results allow us to conclude that this synthetic approach can be applied to research in the field of textual psychology, author's strategies, the author's speech image, and speech portraiture. The strategies identified in the texts act as clusters of concepts, which in turn constitute the main functional and pragmalinguistic tools that implement the author's intentions and ensure the perlocative effect of the text. The cognitive-pragmatic component of the author's impact strategies is structured mainly around the ideological and religious struggle. In second place are public– and private-business relations, which often mix into a single conceptual and pragmatic space.
Titles of Russian memoirs of the XVIII - early XIX century as a meta-textual element of the narrative
Authors: Farafonova Oksana Anatol'evna
Published: April 2024

The subject of the research presented in the article is the metatextual function of the titles of Russian memoirs of the XVIII – early XIX centuries. The object of the study is all known and published texts of Russian memoirs of the specified historical period. The author analyzes in detail in this aspect the memoirs of V. V. Golovin, I. O. Ostrozhsky-Lokhvitsky, I. G. Andreev, Y. P. Shakhovsky, I. I. Neplyuev, I. V. Lopukhin, M. V. Danilov, T. P. Kalashnikov, G. I. Dobrynin, P. S. Baturin, etc. authors. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the memoir title as a result of the author's reflection and the author's mark addressed to the reader, reflecting the tendency to individualize the narrative about oneself and the desire of the memoirist authors for a holistic understanding and literary formalization of the text of memoirs. The research methodology is based on the principles of comparative studies and comparative historical analysis. The corpus of the memoirs under study is placed in the general cultural context of the epoch, which allows us to talk about the principles of formation and development of Russian memoiristics in the XVIII century. The memoir titles reflect which aesthetic and value paradigm the memoirist was oriented towards when writing about his past. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time the memoir title is considered as the main element of the meta–text ensemble "title – preface – epigraph - afterword". The genre nomination necessarily present in the memoir title (notes, chronicle, novel, life, life) is understood as a sign of the memoirist's cultural and literary self-identification aimed at a potential reader. The article identifies the following trends: orientation towards the ancient Russian cultural and genre tradition, the influence of the educational and classicist paradigm and attitudes dictated by the influence of sentimentalism and the genre of the novel. A systematic analysis of more than fifty works of Russian memoiristics allows us to conclude that the defining role of the genre nomination in the composition of the memoir title is for the author to choose a narrative model, an angle of the image of events and characters, leitmotifs and principles of plot organization. Compilation and analysis of the repertoire of titles of memoir works of the XVIII – early XIX centuries allow us to conclude about the principles of formation and development of Russian memoiristics as a whole.
Volver la mirada al sur. Una criminología para América Latina
Authors: Iturralde Manuel
Published: April 2024

From a decolonial perspective, and taking Latin America as its case study, this article discusses southern criminology —a body of work that has consolidated in the region and other Global South countries, and that aims at explaining crime and violence, together with the social control responses they elicit, as part of the colonial matrix of power. The article claims that southern criminology has the potential to contribute to the discussion of crime, violence, and social control in Latin America in at least two aspects: first, it may provide an incisive analysis of the relations between diffearent forms of violence and subordination, on the one hand, and the punitive and exclusive responses of Latin American political regimes to these phenomena, on the other. Second, it may contribute a suggestive explanation of how the forms of social control that have emerged in different countries of the region since their birth as independent republics are closely linked to the construction of political, economic, and social orders that are part of the colonial matrix of power.
Mercado de trabajo y género durante el siglo XX. Un análisis sobre las causas de la feminización de la política asistencial en Argentina
Authors: Brown Brenda , Giosa Zuazúa Noemí , Rodríguez Enríquez Corina
Published: April 2024

This article delves into the intricate relationship between the evolution of Argentina’s labor market, particularly the historical inclusion of women, and the contours of contemporary social welfare policies for female recipients. Set against the backdrop of a decades-long crisis in employment and income, especially affecting low-income families and women tasked with caregiving responsibilities, the article posits the hypothesis that the trend of feminization in social welfare policies partly stems from the pauperization of Argentina’s labor market in the latter part of the 20th century and the historically subordinate role of women within patriarchal capitalist societies. Employing an empirical-historical methodology, it scrutinizes the shifts and dynamics of the labor market over the 20th century as well as the features of the welfare policy framework at the beginning of the 21st century. The article is a contribution to Argentina’s labor market and social policy literature and portrays current socio-welfare programs as an adaptation to the employment and income crisis, further entrenching women’s subordinate status within the social fabric.

Aims: the objective of the present study is to report a clinical case aimed at the diagnosis and treatment of a traumatic fibroma located in the region of the unilateral buccal mucosa based on clinical and histopathological examination.

Case Report: A 43-year-old male patient, melanoderma, attended the Nilton Lins University dental clinic reporting the existence of a large nodule in the cheek region. Based on the clinical appearance of the lesion, the diagnostic hypothesis of traumatic fibroma was established; therefore, the surgical excision of the lesion was determined for subsequent referral to confirm the hypothesis. The removed content was transferred to a container containing a 10% formaldehyde solution and sent to the Department of Pathology and Legal Medicine of the Federal University of Amazonas for histopathological analysis, which disclosed benign epithelial thickening with parakeratosis and underlying connective tissue hyperplasia. Given the characteristics presented in the analyzed histological picture, the definitive diagnosis was reactive fibroepithelial hyperplasia.

Conclusion: Establishing a preliminary diagnosis of the lesion was essential for planning the surgical procedure. The use of the conventional technique for the removal of the reactive fibroepithelial hyperplasia obtained satisfactory results, both for the postoperative recovery and for the infeasibility of recurrence, thus providing satisfactory comfort to the patient.

The research paper empirically tests the impact of major financial crisis of 2008 by testing the causality between five macroeconomic variables (interest rate, inflation, money supply, GDP and exchange rate), the FTSE All-Share index and its sectoral indices. Furthermore, it analyses whether the global financial crisis of 2008 affected the direction of the causality or not. For this purpose the causality tests were performed in two sections one on the data for the pre financial crisis period  from 1999 to 2007 and another on the data for post financial crisis period from 2008 to 2022. The causality was tested using the quantile Granger causality test, the research findings reveal the complex causality between the UK stock market and the most prevalent macroeconomic factors. The findings of the research are suggestive that the causality between macroeconomic factors changed from pre-crisis period to post-crisis period. This is indicative of the event sensitivity of the stock market of UK.  It was found that the direction of this causality varies according to the circumstances of the economy and across different sectors involved, and particular economic conditions at various times. The findings of this research provide important insights for policymakers, investors, and economic analysts, as they shed light on the dynamic and complex relationship between the indicators, both on an aggregate and sectoral level. The research findings also emphasise the importance of considering the variables' distribution when analysing the issue of causality.
