Post-mortem Computed Tomography (PMCT) Imaging Compared to Conventional Autopsy in Establishing Cause of Death in Adults
Authors: Ting Ting Yew , Mohamed Zahiah , Mohd Nor Faridah
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine whether the post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) findings are able to correlate well with the cause of death on conventional autopsy. Materials and methods: From January 2008 until September 2016, total of 60 bodies underwent PMCT scans in the radiology department, followed by conventional autopsies conducted in the forensic department. The radiological findings were interpreted, which were then correlated with the cause of death based on conventional post-mortem autopsy and/or pathological diagnosis. Results: The PMCT findings correlated well with the conventional autopsies. In 28 cases (46.7%), the cause of death was diagnosable based on PMCT alone, in nine cases (15%) the cause was suggestive but required additional information, and in 23 cases (38.3%) the cause was not diagnosable based on PMCT alone. Diagnosable cases included those involving gunshot wounds, sharp and blunt injuries, and lung infections. Causes that could not be diagnosed through PMCT alone included acute myocardial infarction, burns, asphyxiation, drug intoxication and septicemia. Conclusion: PMCT proves to be a valuable and excellent tool for documenting and illustrating bone fractures, abnormal air and fluid accumulation compared to soft tissue injuries, which are better detected in autopsies. However, PMCT alone cannot replace conventional autopsy, which remain the gold standard for establishing the cause of death. Nevertheless, PMCT can serve as useful adjunct in forensic investigations.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Corneal regenerative medicine is a contemporary approach involving the use of biomaterials, biological factors and stem cells to reduce dependence on native tissue supply for transplantation. This study aims to investigate cellularized polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) scaffold with human telomerase-immortalized cornea epithelial cells (HTCEC) in combination with Wharton Jelly-Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) or its conditioned media (CM) for ocular surface regeneration. Materials and methods: The PHA employed in this investigation, P(3HB-co-4HB-co-5HV-co3HHx), was biosynthesized from Cupriavidus necator. The water contact angle as a measure of scaffold wettability was determined, and in vitro PHA biodegradation by lipase enzyme was conducted. The effects of MSC on the focal adhesion proteins were determined by immunofluorescence and immune regulatory proteins were studied. Common corneal genes’ expression was evaluated using qPCR. Results: There was a significant loss of PHA dry weight due to lipase biodegradation. MSC-conditioned media (CM) significantly improved HTCEC viability (121%) as compared to control (100%), p < 0.005. The effect of HTCEC/MSC co-culture on focal adhesion protein expression was significantly higher as compared to HTCEC single culture (p < 0.05). MSC co-culture with HTCEC showed increased secretion of IL-1β and TGF-β1 more than single HTCEC culture in a pro-inflammatory stimulated HTCEC model. Gene expressions for common corneal markers ITGB1, ABCG2, ABCB5, CK3, CK12, CX43, and ΔNP63 were upregulated in the presence of CM p < 0.05. Conclusion: Cellularized PHA scaffold used in combination with MSC is a novel regenerative medicine approach which has a huge potential for anterior ocular surface diseases.

Operational Planning of Hybrid Power Management for Load Based on Versatile Energy Spectral Algorithm
Authors: Kumar D Sathish , Vanitha U  , Ibrahim A Mohamed , Lalitha B
Published: February 2025

In a hybrid energy system, the operational strategy is to allocate energy sources depending on their availability to match the load demand. To optimize system performance while reducing operating costs, it must compute the energy flow from the hybrid energy system sources to various loads, as well as the charging and discharging of storage devices such as batteries and super capacitors. However, energy management becomes more challenging when some Versatile Energy Spectral Algorithm (VESA) acts as central controller. The Energy Management System must be adjusted using a central controller when the topology changes. This work proposes a VESA for optimally operating a hybrid energy system with a number of sources. The VESA algorithm is designed to maximize power generation while considering load operating circumstances. The implementation of the VESA control, which consists of several rules, is used to optimize the smart grid system. The intelligent management system immediately measures the hybrid sources' power generation, and based on the computed data, the controllers take appropriate action as necessary. Its control approach improves the precision of this nonlinear system while also achieving optimization and distributed energy generation. The planned hybrid power system will be connected to a load-connected system. The suggested controller will be in charge of the power system's switching function, particularly the converter, which is employed for a specific power conversion process, and an inverter for power optimization. The performance of the model is estimated with various parameters like switching losses, EMI, Efficiency, power factor (PF), and total harmonic distortion.

Investigating the Effect of Blend Composition on the Burning Rate of PTT/PP and PTT/LLDPE Blends and Mechanism Thereof
Authors: Deo Shrikant , Dalvi Nandkishor , Chopra Swamini , Pande Kavita , JD Ekhe  , Peshwe Dilip
Published: February 2025

The present manuscript focuses on assessing the fire retardant performance of Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT) polymer blended with varying proportions of Polypropylene (PP) and Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), separately. The fire retardancy behavior is studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and the structure of the blends observed by Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The blend composition plays a vital role on the burning rate, and therefore the fire retardancy, of PTT polymer after blending. In both the blend systems, an increase in the addition of PP or LLDPE lowers the burning rate for 10-15 wt.% of addition. The burning rate increases with further addition due to the fact that pure LLDPE and PP burns faster than pure PTT. The PTT/PP and PTT/LLDPE blends under present study proves to be cost effective than pure PTT, all the while exhibiting similar burning rate characteristics, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where both cost efficiency and fire resistance are essential. The FTIR and SEM analysis provides insight into the chemical changes occurring during the thermal degradation of the blends, thereby supporting to understand the fire-resistant mechanism of the blends.

CLIL(iG): Interdiszciplinaritás a németoktatásban
Authors: Sárvári Tünde
Published: February 2025

A CLILiG a Content and Language Integrated Learning in German rövidítése, és arra az interdiszciplináris megközelítésre utal, amelyben az oktatás során a diákok nemcsak a német nyelvet tanulják, hanem egyidejűleg más tantárgyak tartalmát is ezen a nyelven sajátítják el. A tanulók ennek köszönhetően nemcsak nyelvi készségeiket fejleszthetik, hanem szélesebb perspektívából közelíthetnek a német nyelvhez és kultúrához. Magyarországon elsődlegesen a két tanítási nyelvű, illetve a nemzetiségi oktatási intézményekben alkalmazzák ezt a módszert. Jelen tanulmány azt mutatja be, hogy a CLILiG mint interdiszciplináris módszer hogyan gazdagíthatja az oktatási élményt, teheti motiválóbbá a tanulási folyamatot, és járulhat hozzá a diákok egyéni többnyelvűvé válásához a németoktatás egyéb területein is.
A CLIL nyelvi és kognitív előnyei
Authors: Sántha-Malomsoki Ágnes
Published: February 2025

A tanulmány arra a kérdésre keres választ, hogy az intenzív másodiknyelv-használat vezethet-e magasabb szintű nyelvi és kognitív működésekhez 13-14 éves, általános idegen nyelvi és tartalomalapú (CLIL) programokban részt vevő tanulók esetén. A kevert módszertanú vizsgálat struktúrája a Creswell-féle értelmező szekvenciális tervezési modellt követi,  melynek első fázisában a résztvevők (CLIL tanulók N=69 és kontrollcsoport N=73), szelektív figyelem valamint angol és magyar nyelvű betűfluencia teszteket töltöttek ki. Ezt követően a második fázisban a teszteken kiemelkedően magas és alacsony pontszámot elérő tanulók strukturált interjúkon vettek részt. Míg a szelektív figyelem teszteredményekben a csoportok között nem találtunk szignifikáns különbséget, az angol nyelvű betűfluencia teszteken a CLIL csoport jobban teljesített. Az interjúkon végzett kvalitatív tartalomelemzés megerősítette, hogy a CLIL-módszertannal párosuló intenzív másodiknyelv-használat, a szóelőhívás során alkalmazott nagyobb mértékű stratégiahasználat következtében befolyásolja az előhívás gyorsaságát és minőségét.

Published: February 2025

The growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) raises technical, economic, social, legal, and ethical questions. AI can transform industries, automate tasks, and create jobs, but it also brings concerns about infrastructure, resource redistribution, inequality, regulation, and ethics. The race for AI Hegemony between the US and China intensifies economic and political polarization. Investments in research and development will be massive, with competition for talent and resources. Without international coordination, the uncontrolled advance of AI could threaten security and social justice. An inclusive debate is essential to ensure the responsible use of this technology. This text was motivated by recent geopolitical events (already in the first month of 2025), which directly affect people's daily lives worldwide, leaving possible reflections on the power of AI as an active agent in shaping the future of humanity.

és képben című nagyszabású kötetsorozat létrejöttével és kiadásával kapcsolatos munkálatok feltárása és annak vizsgálata áll. Ennek az egyedülálló etnográfiai és topográfiai enciklopédiának a megálmodója Rudolf
trónörökös volt, aki gazdagon illusztrálva, többkötetes formában kívánta elbeszélni a Monarchia országainak jelenét és múltját. A hazai kiadás 1885 és 1902 között jelent meg 21 kötetben Jókai Mór főszerkesztő
felügyelete alatt, szerzői és illusztrátorai mind magyarok voltak. A kezdeményezés nemcsak fellendítette a hazai nyomdaipart, hanem évekig
megbízásokkal látott el több író- és művészgenerációt. A témát a 19. századi magyar nyomdatörténet és könyvkiadás szempontjából közelítem
meg, kiemelve olyan tipográfusokat és kiadókat, akik a nemzeti nyelv támogatásában és a mesterség fellendítésében fontos szerepet játszottak. A
dualizmus korának politikai, gazdasági és társadalmi változásai mind kihatottak a nyomdászatra és az olvasói réteg felépítésére és igényeire egyaránt. A kortársak, különösen azok a tipográfusok, akik a könyvművészet
mesterségének régi fényét szerették volna visszaidézni, a könyvsorozat
ötletében látták meg a lehetőséget arra, hogy a magyar könyvnyomdászat újra a minőség és a művészet színvonalára emelkedhessen. Az 1880-
as években a körülmények adottak voltak ahhoz, hogy megvalósulhasson ez az igényesen illusztrált kiadvány, mely a mi „aranykorunknak” az
emlékeztetőjévé vált.

Published: February 2025

The dynamics of energy consumption within Polish hospitals have evolved, necessitating a thorough understanding of the trends and determinants influencing energy efficiency in these healthcare facilities. This study aims to analyze the trends in energy consumption in Polish hospitals from 2010 to 2019. A crucial aspect of the analysis involves assessing how hospital size affects energy consumption, taking into account various size-related factors, including the number of medical personnel, the value of fixed assets, and the number of operating rooms, as well as operational factors such as patient numbers and person-days of treatment. The analysis drew upon data from 3,061 hospital reports detailing financial data and medical operations during the specified timeframe. To quantify and compare energy utilization efficiency in hospitals, we developed specific energy efficiency indicators, which were then examined across different categories and sizes of hospitals. Descriptive statistics were computed for all data points, including means and standard deviations. Comparisons between variables were executed using the Student’s t-test. The statistical analysis was conducted utilizing StatSoft Statistica version 13.3. This article contributes new empirical insights concerning the determinants of electricity consumption in Polish hospitals, particularly their operational activity. The findings indicate a clear correlation between hospital activity and electricity consumption. Specifically, hospital activity significantly influences the efficiency of electricity utilization concerning the number of patients and person-days of treatment. As anticipated, larger hospitals tend to have higher overall energy consumption; however, they exhibit greater efficiency in energy consumption per patient, per person-day of treatment. Understanding the factors that drive energy consumption in hospitals is essential for developing and implementing effective energy-saving strategies within the healthcare sector.
