Pesticides can induce changes in behavior and reduce the survival chance of aquatic organisms. In this study, the toxic effects of glyphosate suspension (Glyphosate Aria 41% SL, Tehran Iran) on behavior and tissues of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were assessed. For this purpose, a 96 h LC50 of glyphosate suspension (68.788 mL·L−1) was used in the toxicity test. All individuals were divided into control and treatment groups with four replicates. Exposure operations were performed under two conditions: increasing concentration of suspension from 0 to 68.788 mL·L−1; then, decreasing to the first level. The swimming pattern was recorded by digital cameras during the test and tissue samples were collected at the end of the test. There were significant differences between the swimming pattern of treated individuals and control ones during both steps. The sublethal concentration of glyphosate led to hypertrophy, hyperplasia and hyperemia in the gill of fish. However, changes were obvious only after sampling. The exposed fish also displayed clinical signs such as darkening of the skin and increasing movement of the operculum. Moreover, glyphosate suspension affected swimming patterns of fish suggest that the swimming behavior test can indicate the potential toxicity of environmental pollutants and be used as a noninvasive, useful method for managing environmental changes and assessing fish health conditions by video monitoring.
Vision through Healthy Aging Eyes

As life expectancy grows, so too will the number of people adversely affected by age. Although it is acknowledged that many conditions and diseases are associated with age, this mini-review will present a current update of the various visual changes that generally occur in healthy individuals disregarding the possible effects of illness. These alterations influence how the world is perceived and in turn can affect efficiency or the ability to perform ordinary daily tasks such as driving or reading. The most common physical developments include a decreased pupil size and retinal luminance as well as changes both in intercellular and intracellular connections within the retina along the pathway to the visual cortex and within the visual cortex. The quantity and the physical location of retinal cells including photoreceptors, ganglion and bipolar retinal cells are modified. The clarity of intraocular organs, such as the intraocular lens, decreases. These all result in common visual manifestations that include reduced visual acuity, dry eyes, motility changes, a contraction of the visual field, presbyopia, reduced contrast sensitivity, slow dark adaptation, recovery from glare, variation in color vision and a decreased visual processing speed. Highlighting these prevalent issues as well as current and possible future innovations will assist providers to formulate treatments and thereby conserve maximum independence and mobility in the modern mature population.

Published: October 2021

Purpose: To investigate whether Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) genotype, specifically transcription factor 4 (TCF4) CTG triplet repeat “load” predicts time to clearance following Descemet’s Stripping Only (DSO). Methods: This prospective, interventional trial was conducted on consecutive FECD patients undergoing DSO. Genetic analysis using patients’ saliva was performed to assess the extent of CTG expansion using short tandem repeat analysis, corroborated gel electrophoresis and Sanger sequencing. Polymerase chain reaction and bidirectional Sanger sequencing was undertaken. Partial least square regression and logistic regression modelling was used to evaluate the predictive power of TCF4 repeats on corneal clearance. Results: Of 11 eyes of 11 patients, 8 showed complete corneal clearance. For these 8 patients, mean TCF4 allele repeat was 24.8 (SD: 23.7, range: 11–63) and 63.4 (SD: 30.3; range: 11–97), respectively. In total, 9/11 (81.8%) had expanded CTG repeats (>40) in one allele. In cases with an allele repeat ≥80, there was a significantly increased risk of corneal non-clearance (odds ratio 18.2, p = 0.009). Conclusion: Whilst it was not possible to predict time to corneal clearance based on CTG repeats, there is a significant correlation between allele repeats and achievement of corneal clearance.
Actual Electricity Utility Factor of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles in Typical Chinese Cities Considering Charging Pattern Heterogeneity
Authors: Hao Xu , Yuan Yuebo , Wang Hewu , Sun Yingbo
Published: October 2021

The actual energy saving effect of plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) is usually evaluated by the electricity utility factor (UF) in a standardized charging pattern. To further evaluate the impacts of the charging pattern heterogeneity of PHEV, actual vehicle travel data are adopted to classify the charging pattern in seven typical Chinese cities and derive its impacts on actual UF. Additionally, UF curves are fitted as power exponential functions. The result shows that during daily usage, UF can reach over 0.8 for 50 km all-electric-range PHEVs for the 77% frequently charging adopters, while it is as low as 0.1 for the 3% rarely charging adopters. Comprehensive UF values at an actual charging pattern are 0.53 and 0.68 for the 50 km and 80 km all-electric-range PHEVs, and the values are 0.03 and 0.04 smaller than the standard UF, respectively.
Study on Mechanism Analysis of Skidding Prediction for Electric Vehicle Based on Time-Delay Effect of Force Transmission
Authors: Yang Ying , Wang Xiaoyu , Zhang Yangchao
Published: October 2021

The electric vehicle anti-skidding control system is used to ensure the stability of the vehicle under any circumstances. There is a typical feature in most anti-skidding detection methods; the skidding occurs first, and then the detection is performed. For methods that rely on slip rate detection, more accurate vehicle speeds are required, which are often difficult to accurately observe. The previous method was detection and could not do prediction. Skidding prediction can improve driver reaction time and increase safety. Therefore, this paper proposes a prediction method that does not depend on the slip rate. The skidding prediction can be performed by relying on the driving torque, as well as the wheel speed. In this paper, the characteristics of the transmission from the driving force to the friction force in the vehicle model are analyzed. As for the distributed electric vehicle, the slip factor was designed with traction torque and friction force for skidding prediction by its sharp increase before the maximum adhesion point. The variation in the slip factor and time period of skidding are revealed. A multi-information merged prediction model is designed to improve reliability. The co-simulation and experimental verification based on the physical skidding simulation platform are carried out.

Published: October 2021

To address the coordinated distribution of motor braking and friction braking for the regenerative braking system, a cooperative braking algorithm based on nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is proposed, with braking energy recovery power, tire slip rate, and motor torque variation as the optimization objectives, and online optimization of the coordinated distribution of motor braking and friction braking. Using the offline model built in Matlab/Simulink, the cooperative braking algorithm is tested for energy efficiency and braking safety. The results show that when based on World Light Vehicle Test Cycle (WLTC), the energy recovery rate can reach 30.4%, and with a single high braking intensity, the braking safety can still be ensured.
Vehicle-to-Water (V2W) Concept for Disaster Relief to Ensure Safe Access to Freshwater and Electricity—A Proposed System Where Electric Vehicles Power the Desalination Process
Authors: Leijon Jennifer , Lindahl Olof
Published: October 2021

In this paper, the concept of vehicle-to-water is proposed for disaster relief. This, along with a presentation of a new system including an electric vehicle of van type, with roof-mounted solar panels and a desalination system installed in its cargo hold. The system can be used for transportation and water and electricity supply, with zero tailpipe emissions. The mobile electric vehicle and desalination system are expected to be beneficial for communities with an urgent need for freshwater while also lacking electricity, such as during natural disasters or societal crises in coastal regions. It is related to the water–energy nexus and is an interdisciplinary project. The electric vehicle would have to be charged from a grid-connected charging infrastructure, and the desalination system would require an inlet of seawater and would generate freshwater and brine. The presentation of the innovative system is followed by a brief case study, estimating the amount of freshwater that could be generated and the amount of people that could benefit from such a system. It is estimated that one system could produce up to 29,333 L of freshwater daily, suggesting that around 1466 people could fulfill their personal daily freshwater need of 20 L during a disaster.
Energy Analysis of Highway Electric HDV Platooning Considering Adaptive Downhill Coasting Speed
Authors: Hu Miaomiao , Bauer Peter
Published: October 2021

Increase of non-renewable energy consumption and CO2 emissions has brought heavy burdens to our planet. Heavy-duty vehicles as a large energy consumer benefit a lot from platooning due to reduced air drag. Comparing to ICE trucks, electric trucks can gain more energy savings from platooning while also reducing CO2 emissions. This paper explores the energy consumption of electric HDV platooning under highway situations and proposes an adaptive downhill coasting speed method with regenerative braking. Simulations show that electric HDV platooning can reach at most 33.4% energy savings with our proposed adaptive coasting speed profile. With a sacrifice of 22.2% travel time, the energy savings can be further increased to 49.3%.
Modeling and Fuzzy Feedforward Control of Fuel Cell Air Supply System
Authors: Cheng Jun , Zhang Baitao , Mao Haoyu , Xu Sichuan
Published: October 2021

As an important part of the fuel cell subsystem, the air supply system of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) plays an important role in improving the output performance and durability of fuel cells. It is necessary to control the oxygen excess ratio of fuel cell systems in the process of variable load, preventing the oxygen starvation in the loading process and excessive parasitic power consumption caused by oxygen saturation. At this time, the modeling of fuel cell systems and the development of control strategies are critical. The development of a control strategy depends on the construction of the control model. Aiming at the difficulty of air supply system modeling, this paper uses radial basis function (RBF) neural network and state equation method to establish the dynamic model of air supply systems. At the same time, PID, fuzzy logic plus PID (FL + PID), feedforward plus PID (FF + PID), fuzzy feedforward plus fuzzy PID (FF + FLPID) control strategy are proposed to control the oxygen excess ratio of the system. The simulation results show that fuzzy feedforward plus fuzzy PID (FF + FLPID) has the best effect and the oxygen excess ratio can be followed in 1 s.
Clothing of the medieval peasant: from everyday functionality to the definition of class affiliation. To the discussion about the origin of fashion
Authors: Sapozhnikova Viktoriya Stanislavovna
Published: October 2021

The article shows that there are a number of contradictory points of view on the question of the time and factors of the origin of the fashion. In fashion theory, there are a number of well-established concepts regarding the question of the origin of fashion. According to the first point of view, fashion originated at the dawn of the capitalist era, and it is directly related to the processes of trade, urbanization, the increase in the number of cities and the emergence of a mass democratic culture that formed certain attitudes, including fashion. According to another view, fashion successfully developed within the framework of traditional society, within the boundaries of palace culture, among the aristocracy and the nobility. There is also the third opinion, according to which fashion is identified with clothing in general, which allows talking about its origin at the dawn of the formation of humanity. The article argues that fashion could not have arisen in traditional society, especially in the peasant environment, which allows speaking of its origin only within the framework of industrialism.
Confucius Institutes as a subject of China's foreign policy
Authors: Gavrilova Elena Vladimirovna , Karpukhin Oleg Ivanovich
Published: October 2021

The article analyzes the activities of Confucius Institutes as a subject of modern foreign cultural policy of China. Methods of increasing influence at the international level are very diverse, ranging from China's participation in international projects (cultural and industrial exhibitions, Olympiads, scientific forums, etc.) organized on its territory to the organization of the media space that gradually covers the whole world. To implement the state policy of "soft power", the Chinese government approved the development of Chinese educational and cultural centers around the world. These institutions bear the name of the greatest Chinese philosopher, the teacher of the nation, Confucius. In China, his name is associated with culture and education, as the philosopher himself attached great importance to tradition and education. The Confucius Institutes network provides opportunities for personal and business contacts of the international community with representatives of Chinese science, culture, business, and politics. Such meetings increase the interest in learning the language, raising it to a more pragmatic level, associated with obtaining new opportunities. As a rule, the departments of the Confucius Institute are opened on the basis of Oriental Studies faculties in the leading national universities of a particular country. Thanks to their educational and cultural projects, the Confucius Institutes arouse not only great interest and desire to join the values of Chinese culture, but also enjoy great trust among all those who love China or plan to connect their lives with the prospects that this country opens for friends, opening up new prospects for student and professor mobility.

The effect of rural placements on future rural general practice
Authors: MacDonald Alexandra Louise , Duncanson Kerith
Published: October 2021

Background: Providing health care to rural populations is a major issue in Australia. Disease burdenand health risk factorsincrease with remoteness, but the access to appropriate service decrease. The introduction of Rural Clinical Schools, rural locations for internship and residency, and decentralisation of the Australian General Practitioner Training Programaim to address this disparity. This systematic review aimed at determining if rural placements throughout medical training are associated with future rural general practice in Australia.Methods: Medline (Ovid), Pubmed, CINAHL and Science Direct were searched for the period January 2000 to July 2019. Included studies related specifically to rural general practitioners in Australia and studies were excluded if they reported only on intention to practice rurally. Evidence was assessed using the Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence Guidelines.Results: Eleven articles met the inclusion criteria. Three studies examined the effect of rural placements in medical school on future rural general practice. Three studies looked at placements as a junior doctor on future rural general practice. Four studies looked at the effect of rural general practitioner training on future rural general practice. One study reported on the effect of rural placements during both medical school and junior doctor years on future rural general practice. The studies supported an association between rural placements and future rural general practice, particularly for Australian born doctors, Australian graduates and individuals from rural backgrounds.Discussion: This review suggests that rural placements during medical training increase the likelihood of future rural general practice. The interplay of personal and professional life influence whether rural intention is sufficient to result in rural practice. Addressing human factors that influence rural practice will contribute to achieving equitable rural health care.

Authors: Bissett Bernie , Freene Nicole , Nahon Irmina , Witchalls Jeremy , Copeman Peter , Preston Elisabeth
Published: October 2021

Introduction: MASK-EDTM simulation is a novel educational approach in which a clinically experienced educator dons a high-fidelity silicone mask and plays the role of a patient. MASK-EDTM simulation has not yet been evaluated in physiotherapy education. The purpose of this study was to describe physiotherapy students’ perceptions of the value of MASK-EDTM simulation and its effect on perceived preparedness for clinical placements.Methods: Design: Mixed-methods cohort study, using questionnaires and focus groups over 12 months.Setting: Entry-level Physiotherapy course at an Australian university.Participants: Eighty-one physiotherapy students enrolled in their first unit of cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy.Intervention: MASK-EDTM simulation in five tutorials across two semesters, practising skills including history-taking and secretion clearance techniques.Main outcome measures: Questionnaires pre- and post clinical placement; thematic analysis of focus group data following clinical placement exposure.Results: One hundred per cent of students described MASK-EDTM as helpful in developing manual handling skills (mean 3.8/4.0, SD 0.4), establishing rapport and empathy with patients (mean 3.7/4.0, SD 0.5), and communicating with an older patient (mean 3.4/4.0, SD 0.6). Following exposure to clinical placement, students perceived MASK-EDTM as slightly less helpful in enhancing readiness for clinical placement (MD –0.20 out of 5, 95% CI –‍0.54 to –0.04) compared with before clinical exposure. However, they still considered MASK-EDTM somewhat helpful (mean 3.2/4.0). Three themes were identified: the safety of the learning environment with MASK-EDTM, the importance of communication in MASK-EDTM simulation and the performative aspects of MASK-EDTM simulation. All three themes were underpinned by the importance of authenticity in learning and practice.Conclusions: Physiotherapy students perceive MASK-EDTM simulation as valuable in enhancing learning relating to clinical practice, particularly prior to clinical placement.

A cor da madeira é uma característica decisiva na escolha de pisos pelos consumidores. O objetivo deste estudo foi fazer a caracterização colorimétrica de pisos de cinco espécies tropicais amazônicas: Dipteryx odorata (cumaru), Handroanthus spp. (ipê), Hymenaea courbaril (jatobá), Astronium lecointei (muiracatiara) e Bowdichia virgilioides (sucupira-preta), bem como correlacionar os parâmetros colorimétricos com a densidade básica da madeira. A caracterização colorimétrica foi determinada na face superior tangencial dos pisos, obtendo-se os parâmetros colorimétricos L* (luminosidade), a* (coordenada cromática verde-vermelho) e b* (coordenada cromática azul-amarelo), com base no sistema CIEL*a*b*, e os parâmetros C (saturação) e h* (ângulo de tinta) foram calculados. Os resultados foram submetidos à análises de variância e ao teste de Tukey (p≤0,05) para verificar diferenças entre as espécies e avaliou-se a correlação de Pearson entre os parâmetros colorimétricos e a densidade básica da madeira. Os parâmetros colorimétricos variaram entre as espécies, com L* de 47,43 a 63,08; a* de 6,50 a 13,52; b* de 17,74 a 26,16; C de 18,89 a 29,31; e, h* de 61,56 a 69,86 e esses apresentaram baixa variação dentro da mesma espécie. Conclui-se que os pisos de madeira das espécies cumaru, ipê e sucupira-preta são escuros e os de jatobá e muiracatiara, claros. Há uma correlação inversa entre a densidade básica e a luminosidade (L*) das madeiras avaliadas. A colorimetria pode ser utilizada como critério auxiliar de classificação de madeiras destinadas à produção de pisos.

Az írás Krajcsovics Éva festőművész legutóbbi festményeit mutatja be, amelyeknek egyik lényeges jellemzője az a fordulat, amely 2019. évi összefoglaló jellegű albumának megjelenése óta figyelhető meg. A minimalista expresszív művészetben további letisztulás, a színek még további árnyalódása és koncentráltabb megjelenítése került előtérbe a formák szinte teljes elhagyásával, vagy csak éppen látható utalásszerűségével. Ugyanakkor kísérleti jelleggel néhány képen teljesen új festészeti érdeklődést mutatva emberi figura körvonalai is feltűnnek. Ez az alig fél éve kezdődött folyamat egy megőrizve megújulásként is értelmezhető, amelyet a korábbi festői attitűd intenzivitása és az újabb festészeti megoldások keresése egyaránt jellemez.

Monitoring of patients is an integral part of  health-care system, both in the hospital and at home. Monitoring devices are useful to monitor a person's health. Monitoring is necessary in case of symptoms of a disease that must be acted quickly to prevent the patient's condition from worsening. One way of monitoring patients' specifications is shown by their BPM value and temperature. The purpose of this study is the design of devices on a patient's wrist that can monitor BPM and his body temperature in real time and are not affected by distance. This research contribution is a system that can provide bradycardia indicators and tachycardia for BPM while hyperthermia and hypothermia for temperature. For a monitoring device to be more practical and efficient for use, it has a device with real time monitoring and a small frame of bracelets and alerts phones and emails during abnormal conditions. The design of the device uses the SEN0203  sensors as a BPM sensor that has analog and digital outputs, as well as  MLX90614  sensors that have a digital output, and then data will be processed and shown live to oled ESP333TTGO and data sent to the blynk application on the phone aided by ESP32TTGO as a wifi module. The BPM has the smallest 0.1% error and the largest of 1.09% whereas the temperature has the smallest 0.19% and the largest of 1.63%. These results can be redeveloped on monitor patients to increase the efficiency of the remote monitoring system with alert conditions of patients at an abnormal time via mobile phones and emails.

Electrocardiograph (ECG) is one of the diagnostic sciences that is often studied in modern medicine, one of which is to diagnose and treat diseases caused by the heart. Therefore, it is necessary to check the function of the ECG recorder tool, namely by carrying out the tool calibration procedure using Phantom ECG. The purpose of this research is to design a Phantom ECG for a 12 channel ECG device which includes lead I, lead II, lead III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6 and completes it with a sensitivity selector. The contribution of this research is that the tool can be used as a calibration tool for the ECG Recorder and can be used as a learning medium in the world of health. In order to create a signal that matches the original, this tool uses a heart signal formation method using a DAC type MCP4921 with an ATMEGA2560 microcontroller and for display settings using a 2.4 inch TFT Nextion Display. The MCP4921 type DAC converts the digital signal data into analog data which will then be forwarded to the resistor network circuit as a signal formation for each lead. In the measurement results, the error in measurements with sensitivity of 0.5 mV, 1.0 mV, and 2.0 mV using an ECG Recorder at BPM 30 is 0.00%, BPM 60 is 0.00%, BPM 120 is 0.00%, and BPM 180 is 0.56%. The results showed that the biggest error was found in BPM 180, which was 0.56%.

COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF SALINE VERSUS OCTENIDINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE DRESSING IN DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS
Authors: Chowdhury Sudip , Chandrika Mishra Sharad
Published: October 2021

Diabetic foot ulcers are a common presenting complaint in many institutions catering to rural populations. The reasons for
this can be the undiagnosed diabetes and lack of knowledge regarding complications. Care of diabetic foot ulcers involves
systemic as well as local interventions. Among the local care methods is regular dressings using a good antimicrobial agent. Here Octenidine
Dihydrochloride has shown promise. The present study was done to assess the efcacy of Octenidine Dihydrochloride in diabetic foot ulcers. The
study used a pool of 80 subjects divided in two equal groups who were randomly subjected to saline and Octenidine Dihydrochloride dressings.
The study observed that the mean rate of healing and wound coverage was signicantly better in Octenidine treated subjects when compared to
saline group. Octenidine Dihydrochloride is a better topical agent when compared to saline in the present population sample.

Priapism is a prolonged penile erection lasting for more than 4 hours, rarely seen in children. Our patient is a 12 year old
previously healthy male patient who presented to emergency with complaints of painful Penile erection. On workup,
hemogram coupled with bone marrow aspiration investigations revealed acute lymphoblastic leukemia L1 to be the root cause. Emergency
decompression under penile block by aspiration from corpora cavernosa by a lateral approach (3 o clock and 9 o clock position) was done followed
by injection of phenylephrine (sympathomimetic agent) in the cavernosa muscles to relieve the ischaemic priapism. The presence of dark,
deoxygenated blood conrms ischaemic priapism. Priapism in paediatric age group is a very rare occurance. Ischaemic priapism is the most
common type of priapism in children and is a surgical emergency.
EFFECTIVENESS OF IRON SUCROSE AND FERRIC CARBOXYMALTOSE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF POSTPARTUM IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA: A SOUTH INDIAN PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Samantaray Subha Ranjan , Mohapatra Ipsita
Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Postpartum iron deciency anemia is considered as one of major public health problem with a high
prevalence in developing country like India .It is associated with signicant morbidity.
AIM AND METHOD: This perspective observational study was carried out to estimate the safety and effectiveness of iron sucrose and ferric
carboxymaltose in treatment of postpartum iron deciency anemia. Total 100 participants diagnosed with postpartum anemia were allotted to
receive either iron sucrose complex (n=50) or ferric carboxymaltose (n=50).
RESULTS: Hemoglobin improvement was signicantly higher in ferric carboxymaltose than iron sucrose complex group (4.37 vs. 3.85 gm/dl,
p<0.001), but rise in ferritin levels was comparable between the groups (116.59 vs. 110.48 ng/ml, p=0.330). Most of the patients tolerated the
preparation well, minor side effects were observed in 12% and 48% of cases among iron sucrose and ferric carboxymaltose group respectively
CONCLUSION: Even though oral iron is considered as a rst line therapy, it requires a prolonged administration and is associated with
suboptimal response due to gastric intolerance and poor compliance. Intravenous iron preparations are safer, more convenient and effective
alternative for treatment of postpartum iron deciency anemia.

Authors: A. S. Remya , Abraham Annie
Published: October 2021

Elucidation of the phytochemical composition of plant extract is an essential step in developing novel therapeutic agents
from medicinal plants. Mass spectrometry, coupled with chromatographic separations (GC/MS), is increasingly applied
to analyze plant extracts as this technique has proved to be a valuable method for the analysis of nonpolar volatile components and alkaloids.
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) is being used for the identication of characteristic functional groups present in the plant extract. The absorption
spectrum provides information about the structure of the molecules present in the phytoextract. FTIR analysis revealed the presence of phenols,
alkane, alkene, carboxylic acid, aromatic compounds, alcohol, and bromo alkane compounds in methanolic leaf extract of Oxalis corniculata and
GC/MS analysis provide different peaks determining the presence of twenty three phytochemical compounds.
