Для конструирования радиоэлектронных устройств (РЭУ) одной из главнейших задач в процессе их проектирования является определение критической тепловой нагрузки. На основе данных, полученных при анализе тепловых воздействий, будет происходить подбор наиболее актуального и экономически выгодного материала для будущего устройства и его конструкции. Также ещё на стадии проектирования устройства можно выявить уязвимые места, что позволяет сэкономить как финансовые, так и временные ресурсы. Для реализации поставленной выше цели используются различные специализированные программные комплексы. К таким программным продуктам можно отнести Creo, SolidWorks, T-FLEX, АСОНИКА и Nastran. В данной статье речь пойдет о перечисленных ПО, а именно об их основных параметрах и функционале, их достоинствах и недостатках. Представленные программные комплексы сравниваются по способу проведения теплового анализа на конструкции РЭУ. Для этих целей был проведён сравнительный эксперимент, тепловой анализ печатной платы, благодаря которому были выявлены особенности каждого из перечисленных ПО и их конструктивные отличия. Все результаты проведенного эксперимента занесены в таблицу для сравнения.

For the design of radio electronic devices (RED), one of the main tasks in the process of their design is to determine the critical thermal load. Based on the data obtained from the analysis of thermal effects, the selection of the most relevant and cost-effective material for the future device and its design will take place. Also, at the design stage of the device, vulnerabilities can be identified, which saves both financial and time resources. To achieve the above goals, various specialized software systems are used. Such software products include Creo, SolidWorks, T-FLEX, ASONIKA and Nastran. This article will focus on the listed software, namely, their main parameters and functionality, their advantages and disadvantages. We compared the presented software systems according to the method of conducting thermal analysis on the design of the RED. For these purposes, we carried out a comparative experiment, a thermal analysis of the printed circuit board, thanks to which we revealed the features of each of the listed software and their design differences.

Authors: Nopriyati  , Novriani Rina , Thaha Athuf , Diba Sarah , Yahya Yulia Farida , Aryani Inda Astri
Published: August 2022

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin inflammation found in children with a varied course caused by external and internal factors. The incidence of AD in industrialized countries is 10-20% in children and 1-3% in adults. The main etiopathogenesis of AD is genetic and skin barrier disorders, immunologic disorders, and environment. Oxidative stress (SO) is the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that exceeds the defense capacity of the body's antioxidant system. Uncontrolled ROS production plays a major role in various skin diseases. Oxidative stress can damage the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of keratinocytes through lipid oxidation, as well as disrupt skin barrier function, increase the production of proinflammatory cytokines and worsen AD lesions. The main objectives of this literature review are to determine the role of oxidative stress in AD and antioxidants as adjunctive therapy.

Published: August 2022

Pela frequência e dificuldade de manejo, as úlceras sacrais demandam grande dedicação e apuro técnico do cirurgião plástico e da equipe multiprofissional, visto que as feridas sacrais possuem uma taxa de recidiva maior que 80%. Mesmo os retalhos fasciocutâneos sendo mais finos que os miocutâneos, o que pode parecer uma desvantagem, sua rotação e adaptação são mais fáceis. Além disso, o risco de recorrência após reconstruções é menor quando comparado aos retalhos miocutâneos. Com a evolução do conhecimento e das técnicas anatômicas, a aplicação clínica dos retalhos fasciocutâneos para a reconstrução sacral obteve boa aceitação como uma alternativa útil para reconstrução de lesões por pressão isquiáticas e trocantéricas. Neste trabalho demonstramos mais uma opção a ser considerada, a versatilidade do retalho bilobado fasciocutâneo e seu uso de forma não convencional, realizando uma cobertura extensa na região sacral com uso unilateral de uma área doadora lateral.

Authors: Dien Henny Adeleida , Montolalu Roike Iwan , Mentang Feny , Berhimpon Siegfried , Nurkolis Fahrul
Published: August 2022

Sashimi, a unique and simple fresh fish dish, is commonly served at a restaurant or as a family dinner in Japan. Because sashimi was created from fresh tuna loin, it is easily ruined by spoilage germs and pathogens, particularly when served without ice. Apart from ice, new preservatives must be investigated to avoid pathogenic and histamine-producing microorganisms. Liquid smoke (LS) contains antimicrobial chemicals including organic acids, carbonyl, and phenols from pyrolyzing coconut shells. However, because the evidence of physicochemical features of LS is scarce, research into liquid smoke microencapsulation is required.
The researchers wanted to figure out how liquid smoke microencapsulation (LSM) is made, how effective it is against harmful germs, and how much total histamine is present in LSM-coated sashimi maintained at room temperature. Histamine content, antibacterial inhibitory activity, total microbial count (TPC) of Salmonella and E. coli, water content, and pH level were tested. According to the findings, LSM with maltodextrin: sago flour: 1% LS ratio of 10: 1: 5 efficiently prevented E. coli and Salmonella development and reduced histamine level in sashimi refrigerated for 6 days in the refrigerator.

Authors: Faridin Achmad Fikry , Rasyid Haerani
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Hypertensive patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) are facing high morbidity and mortality. These morbidities include acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute pancreatitis, which have an incidence of about 17% each. Severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV2) virus penetrates cells through the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor which is widely found in the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, pancreas, and other organs. The virus multiplies in the airway and then enters circulation bound to ACE2 receptors in the tissue.

CASE REPORT: This case report presents a chronic hypertensive patient with COVID-19 accompanied by complications of AKI and acute pancreatitis.

CONCLUSION: AKI is a risk factor for death in COVID-19 patients, where kidney involvement in COVID-19 is thought to be due to direct infection with SARS-CoV2 or through other complicating conditions, where acute pancreatitis occurs due to COVID-19.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: Eating process in children is not only to fulfill hunger but also to fulfill the nutritional needs of children’s growth and development. Eating disorders can cause health problems for children, including dental and oral health. Poor oral and dental health in children can affect self-confidence, chewing ability, and nutritional fulfillment. Nowadays, Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is the most common hard tissue disease in primary teeth that affects children.

AIM: This study aims to determine the relationship between eating behavior and ECC in children.

METHODS: This research is an observational study with a cross-sectional design. Sampling was done by purposive sampling with a total sample of 165 children aged 3–5 years old and their mothers. The Children Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) was used to measure the eight eating types of children. ECC is measured by def-t index. Data analysis was done using Chi-square test.

RESULTS: The prevalence of ECC was 47.9%. There was a significant relationship between food responsiveness (p = 0.001; OR = 3.235; 95% CI 1.648–6.341), food fussiness (p = 0.010; OR = 2.380; 95% CI 1.273–4.450), and enjoyment of food (p = 0.005; OR = 0.377; 95% CI 0.198–0.72) with the incidence of ECC. However, Emotional over Eating, Desire to Drink, Satiety Responsiveness, Emotional under Eating, and Slowness in Eating were not associated with the incidence of ECC.

CONCLUSION: Children’s eating behavior contributes to the incidence of ECC.

Authors: Janusz Nicole , Dewidar Omar , Dowling Sierra , Wang Harry , Buchbinder Rachelle , Conde Monserrat , Ghogomu Elizabeth Tanjong , Maxwell Lara , Tugwell Peter , Howe Tracey , Welch Vivian
Published: August 2022

Objective

To evaluate the extent to which Cochrane Musculoskeletal systematic reviews assess and analyze health equity considerations.

Methods

We included Cochrane Musculoskeletal systematic reviews that included trials with participants aged ≥ 50 years and that were published from 2015 to 2020. We assessed the extent to which reviews considered health equity in the description of the population in the PICO (Patient/Population – Intervention – Comparison/Comparator – Outcome) framework, data analysis (planned and conducted), description of participant characteristics, summary of findings, and applicability of results using the PROGRESS-Plus framework. The PROGRESS acronym stands for place of residence (rural or urban), race/ethnicity/culture/language, occupation, gender/sex, religion, education, socioeconomic status, and social capital, and Plus represents age, disability, relationship features, time-dependent relationships, comorbidities, and health literacy.

Results

In total, 52 systematic reviews met our inclusion criteria. At least 1 element of PROGRESS-Plus was considered in 90% (47/52) of the reviews regarding the description of participants and in 85% (44/52) of reviews regarding question formulation. For participant description, the most reported factors were age (47/52, 90%) and sex (45/52, 87%). In total, 8 (15%) reviews planned to analyze outcomes by sex, age, and comorbidities. Only 1 had sufficient data to carry this out. In total, 19 (37%) reviews discussed the applicability of the results to 1 or more PROGRESS-Plus factor, most frequently across sex (12/52, 23%) and age (9/52, 17%).

Conclusion

Sex and age were the most reported PROGRESS-Plus factors in any sections of the Cochrane Musculoskeletal reviews. We suggest a template for reporting participant characteristics that authors of reviews believe may influence outcomes. This could help patients and practitioners make judgments about applicability.

Gut Effect on Phytochemicals
Authors: Cebeci Fatma
Published: August 2022

The gut microbiota play an important role for host nutritional, physiological, immunological functions like food digestion, vitamin production, protection of gut integrity, regulation of host immunity, and disease pathogenesis. Dietary phytochemicals are important factors to shape and change the human gut microbiota composition in diversity and abundance context. On the other hand, the microbial community of the gut provides a broad range of enzymes to host which are different from its own resources. This enables human gut microbiota to affect and direct the biosynthesis and metabolism of many bioactive compounds. Bioavailability of phytochemicals is important to benefit from health conferring effects of these compounds. Most of the phytochemicals are not absorbed well by the small intestine and pass through to the gut then gut microbiota acts on the compounds to form different metabolites. Therefore, elucidating the role of human gut microbiota on phytochemical metabolism is essential. This chapter discusses the studies reporting the gut microbial effect on different phytochemicals.

The distressful situation in the global economy is caused by the unforeseen peril introduced by the COVID-29 pandemic, including the rising inflation and its trajectory over the interruption of supply chain management and therefore encouraging all sorts of novel disruptions to maintain market equilibrium. The disruptive innovation in the supply chain management was inflicted due to the disparity of demand and supply in a few industries as a result if intermittent production and consumption and created a temporary bottleneck in the otherwise seamless supply chain management. Pandemic-driven containment forced people to accumulate savings and invest in alternative sources of incomes. This chapter explores the pandemic-caused economic bottlenecks.
“You Are What You Watch?”
Authors: Yuldasheva Rano , Mukhopadhyay Boidurjo Rick
Published: August 2022

Considering that today's youth are inadvertently exposed to violence in all forms of media and video games, research shows that this affects the psyche, subsequently manifesting in aggressive behaviour. This research paper examines how media violence, particularly in video games and movies, impacted youth behaviour during Uzbekistan's pandemic-imposed lockdown period in 2020. The research deploys a mixed-method approach by using quantitative online and offline surveys and data collected from educational institutions and companies to analyse the impact of media violence on youth who chose to play violent video games and watch violent movies during the pandemic. At the same time, the qualitative thematic analysis presents recommendations for preventing the adverse effects of violent video games and films on young people's behaviour. The research ends with suggestions on supporting young people and ways to protect them from falling into the vicious cycle of violence, which triggers aggression in their behaviour.
Long-term responses of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to clear-cutting and wildfire in lodgepole pine stands of western Alberta, Canada

Published: August 2022

We studied responses of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to clear-cutting and wildfire in lodgepole pine forests in the foothills of Alberta, Canada during 2013–2014 and compared the results with those from a similar study conducted in the same area during 1989–1990. Assemblages from stands regenerating 12–53 years after harvest gradually recovered towards their presumed preharvest condition represented by old pyrogenic stands. Assemblage structure in postharvest stands of similar age had also largely converged with that in stands that had burned in 1957 and 1997. Composition of ground vegetation, mineral soil cover, and basal area of trees and shrubs were significantly correlated with carabid assemblage structure, suggesting that plant successional gradients and patterns in carabid assemblages are driven by similar factors. We found that no carabid species was strictly associated with old pyrogenic stands, although assemblages in pyrogenic stands were distinctive. We predict that composition of carabid assemblages in harvested stands will recover and roughly match the variable structure of assemblages remaining in old, never-cut pyrogenic stands, given sufficient time (≥ 50 years). Nonetheless, the carabid fauna of the eastern slopes of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains appears to be changing in response to factors other than forestry. Warming climate is an explanation consistent with the changes observed.

Despite knowledge on the causes and prevention strategies for travelers’ diarrhea (TD), it continues to be one of the most common illnesses experienced by U.S. international travelers. However, studies of risk factors associated with TD among U.S. travelers are limited. In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence rate of TD, the proportion of travelers who experience TD, and to identify risk factors associated with TD. In this cross-sectional study, we collected and analyzed data from anonymous posttravel questionnaires submitted by international travelers recruited during their pretravel visit at two travel clinics in Salt Lake City, Utah, from October 2016 to March 2020. Of 571 travelers who completed posttravel surveys, 484 (85%) answered the TD question, of which 111 (23%) reported TD, for an incidence rate of 1.1 episodes per 100 travel-days (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.9–1.4). In a multivariable model, visiting Southeast Asian (odds ratio [OR]: 2.60; 95% CI: 1.45–4.72) and African (OR: 2.06; 95% CI: 1.09–3.93]) WHO regions, having 10 or more individuals in the group (OR: 3.91; 95% CI: 1.50–11.32]), longer trip duration (OR: 1.01; 95% CI: 1.00–1.02), visiting both urban and rural destinations (OR: 1.94; 95% CI: 1.01–3.90), and taking medications/supplements to prevent TD (OR: 2.74; 95% CI: 1.69–4.47) were statistically significantly associated with increased odds of reporting TD. TD continues to be common in international travelers from the United States. Our findings provide insights regarding travelers’ behaviors regarding TD in international travelers from high-income countries and shows the need for additional research into prevention strategies for travelers’ diarrhea.

Background and aims – Understanding whether variation in plant attributes is primarily driven by selection or historical contingencies is a main goal in evolutionary biology. We characterize leaf diversity in Euphorbia tithymaloides and identify patterns related to taxonomy, geography, biogeography, and climate that provide insights on the role of ecological and evolutionary forces in shaping its leaf diversity.

Material and methods – We constructed a leaf morphospace using linear morphometric measurements derived from images (leaf maximum length and width, area, and perimeter), and calculated indexes that reflect aspects of leaf shape (leaf aspect ratio, area-perimeter ratio, obovate index, and circularity). Climatic data were extracted from WorldClim layers based on occurrence data. We visualized leaf and climate spaces with principal components analyses and used Kruskal-Wallis tests, linear models, and Mantel tests to test predictors of leaf variation (taxonomy, geography, climate).

Key results – We document differences in the foliar morphospace occupied by subspecies of Euphorbia tithymaloides, and a substantial overlap in the climatic space they occupy, suggesting that foliar differences among subspecies are not likely driven by climate. Foliar morphology can be used as a proxy for subspecies in E. tithymaloides, as taxonomy explains a large proportion of variation in leaf morphology (10–60%). Geography and climate explain a small proportion of foliar variation not explained by subspecies (~3% and 5%, respectively). Temperature, precipitation, and seasonality are the climate variables with most explicative power.

Conclusion – Leaf diversity in E. tithymaloides is not driven by climate, instead, it is likely the result of evolutionary contingencies faced by this species throughout its historical range expansion across the Caribbean Basin. This study shows that historical contingencies in addition to selection acting on ecological processes can shape foliar diversity and expand a lineage’s potential to explore morphological and climatic spaces.

Abstract. Many monoterpenes have at least two different stereochemical forms, and many
biosynthetic pathways are known to favor one product over the other(s). A
rapid method was developed and used in the determination of the (-/+)-enantiomeric distributions for α-pinene, β-pinene, camphene,
limonene, and β-phellandrene as emitted by plant material from six
conifer species. The six species included the two pine species Pseudotsuga menziesii and Pinus ponderosa, as well as the four
cypress species Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, Thuja plilcata, Juniperus chinensis, and Thuja occidentalis. The method involved passive sampling adsorption–thermal
desorption (ps-ATD). During sampling, the cartridge tube was placed in a 60 mL glass vial with plant material for 1 h. Sample analytes were thermally
transferred to a chiral gas chromatography (GC) column. Detection was by
mass spectrometry (MS). The six species exhibited different emission
patterns for the five monoterpenes in the -/+ totals, although within a
given species the distributions among the five monoterpenes were similar
across multiple plants. β-pinene dominated in P. menziesii and P. ponderosa, and α-pinene dominated in T. plicata and T. occidentalis. The chiral separations revealed differences in
the -/+ enantiomeric distributions among the species. The
(−)-enantiomers of α-pinene and β-pinene dominated strongly
in P. menziesii and P. ponderosa; the (−)-enantiomer of β-phellandrene dominated in C. lawsoniana. The
dependence of the method precision on percent enantiomer abundance is
discussed.

Dental caries is the world's biggest dental problem with an incidence of 95%, causing tooth demineralization and complications including pulp perforation and premature tooth loss. A non-toxic biomaterial is required for increasing dentine regeneration in reversible dental caries. Proanthocyanidin (PA) is grape seed-derived flavonoid as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. However, PA provides low bioavailability so that it can be combined with polyamidoamine-calcium phosphate (PAMAM-CP) nanoparticles as drug delivery system. The investigation of PA and PAMAM-CP nanoparticles paste-based as innovation biomaterial for dental pulp capping may potential to induce dentine regeneration. The aim of this narrative review is to describe the combination of PA and PAMAM-CP nanoparticles as dental pulp capping biomaterial for dentin regeneration in dental caries. PA is able to express runt related transcription factor (Runx2), bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP2), osteocalcin (OCN), and dentine sialophospoprotein (DSPP) which increase biomineralization and odontogenic differentiation. PAMAM is a macromolecule that provides attachment to dentine and induces remineralization. CP nanoparticles are calcium phosphate-based drug carriers that facilitate dentinal tubules penetration. PA loaded PAMAM-CP nanoparticles would be encapsulated releasing PA. PA suppresses Nuclear Factor-kB signaling pathway activation and decrease tumor necrosis factor-α so that inhibit dentinal matrix degradation. PA increases Runx2 and DSPP expression that manifest in dental pulp stem cells differentiation into odontoblasts. Combination of PA and PAMAM-CP nanoparticles may potential and beneficial as pulp capping biomaterial for dentin regeneration in dental caries.
