Published: May 2024

The article analyzes the legal nature of court decisions of the Supreme Court as a court of cassation in the administrative proceedings of Ukraine. The concept and role played by court decisions of the court of cassation in administrative proceedings are defined. The types of court decisions of the Supreme Court as a court of cassation in the administrative proceedings of Ukraine are systematized. It is emphasized that the Supreme Court as a court of cassation within the limits set by the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine, adopts rulings and rules. The decision on the cassation appeal is essentially made in the decision, which is final and not subject to further appeal. At the same time, the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine provides for the possibility of adopting an additional resolution. It is emphasized that additional court decisions are made when all procedural issues have not been resolved by a ruling, in particular the issue of court costs. Such an additional decision is made by the court of cassation, which issued the main decision in the case. The content and structure of resolutions and rulings of the court of cassation in the administrative proceedings of Ukraine are studied. It is noted that although the procedural law distinguishes four components of court decisions: introductory, descriptive, motivational and operative parts, the Supreme Court in its rulings proposes a broader structure of court decisions. Many decisions of the Supreme Court reflect the following elements: introduction; the essence of the dispute; the factual circumstances of the case established by the courts; decisions of courts of first and appellate instances and motives for their adoption; cassation appeal; relevant sources of law and acts of their application; the position of the Supreme Court; court costs; operative part. It is emphasized that important in terms of resolving the case in fact play resolutions, which formalize the completion of the case, address the main issues and requirements of the cassation appeal, as well as the response to the cassation appeal. It is noted that the decisions are made on various procedural issues related to the progress of the case, motions and applications of the parties, the issue of adjournment of the case, adjournment, suspension of proceedings, etc. The type of judicial acts of the Supreme Court is singled out as a separate ruling by which the court can respond to violations of the law, in particular for abuse of procedural rights, violation of procedural duties, improper performance of professional duties by lawyers or prosecutors. which may bring the relevant persons to disciplinary responsibility.
Механізм оскарження та способи перевірки висновку експерта в кримінальному провадженні

The article is devoted to the study mechanisms of appeal and methods of verification of the expert opinion in criminal proceedings. It is proved that the expert opinion, as well as other collected evidence, should be verified for its compliance with the requirements of the legislation and consistency with the case materials, and if violations are detected during its preparation, such an opinion should be subject to appeal. It is indicated that the methods of verifying the expert opinion are defined by articles 332 and 356 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. However, the peculiarity of carrying out this verification of the expert opinion is that such verification is possible only at the stage of judicial proceedings, while the current Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine does not provide for a mechanism for verifying the expert opinion at the stage of pre-trial investigation. Attention is drawn to the fact that despite the absence of a legally defined mechanism for appealing an expert opinion in accordance with the norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, a party to criminal proceedings is not deprived of the right to appeal against such an opinion in a different order, namely by submitting to the Central Expert Qualification Commission of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine an application for initiating disciplinary proceedings against an expert who violated the current legislation during the relevant expert examination. The grounds for submitting this application for initiation of disciplinary proceedings are: non-compliance of the expert’s specialty with the type of expert examination conducted by it; non-compliance of the content of questions put to the expert’s decision with the requirements of scientific and methodological recommendations; application by an expert of improper methodology of forensic examination; conducting expert research to clarify issues of law. It is argued that if, as a result of a review of the disciplinary responsibility of a forensic expert, it is found that he violates the norms of current law, then such an expert will be held disciplinarily liable, and the expert’s expert opinion drawn up by such an expert will be considered inadmissible evidence.

EFFECT OF FUEL TYPES AND INJECTION CONDITIONS ON SPRAY FORMATION AND GAS ENTRAINMENT PROCESSES IN DIESEL ENGINE
Authors: Kuti Olawole , Nishida Keiya
Published: May 2024

Due to its higher oxygen content, biodiesel fuel could play a vital role in the achievement of emission control in the heavy-duty transportation sector. Waste cooking oil (WCO) obtained from various sources such as the food industry, restaurants, and sewers could provide sustainable means of producing low-carbon fuel such as biodiesel. In this research, WCO biodiesel and conventional diesel fuels were characterized fundamentally in terms of their spray and gas entrainment qualities under diesel-like engine conditions using laser-induced fluorescence and particle image velocimetry (LIF-PIV). The impact of fuel injection parameters such as injection pressure and nozzle diameter on the fuel's spray and gas entrainment characteristics were investigated. Furthermore, an empirical equation was used to determine the droplet sizes of the sprays at different injection conditions. For both fuels, spray breakup and atomization were enhanced with the droplet size decreasing as injection pressure increased from 100 to 300 MPa and as nozzle size decreased from 0.16 to 0.08 mm. As a result of higher viscosity and surface tension, it was observed that WCO biodiesel produced longer spray penetration and narrower spray angle than diesel fuel. Furthermore, the quantity of gas entrained by WCO biodiesel spray was lower. As a result of an increase in the surface area, the percentage of gas entrained at the side periphery of the spray increased as time proceeded while the percentage of gas entrained via the spray tip decreased. The combined effect of ultra-high injection pressure of 300 MPa with a smaller nozzle hole diameter of 0.08 mm was observed to enhance gas entrainment processes.

A new miniatured quad-element multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna is suggested for operating at 26.5 GHz and 47 GHz 5G millimeter-wave (mm-wave) applications. The antenna of size 11.6 mm × 12 mm × 0.508 mm is printed on Rogers RT/duroid 5880 (tm) dielectric material. The recommended antenna has a slotted ground at the bottom and four U-shaped radiating elements on top of the dielectric material. The antenna elements are excited via microstrip line feed. The first operational band at 26.5 GHz from 25.10 to 27.50 GHz is made possible by U-shaped patches. The second band at 47 GHz, spanning 45.45 to 48.45 GHz, is created by carving square slots into the ground layer. The suggested MIMO design's mutual coupling of < -28 dB (or isolation of > 28 dB) is obtained by rectangular ground plane slots and radiating elements that are placed orthogonally. The developed antenna operates at 26.5 GHz and 47 GHz, with steady radiation properties, a peak gain of 7.5 dBi, and a radiation efficacy of more than 93%. Moreover, antenna provides very low envelope correlation coefficient, low channel capacity losses, and acceptable total active reflection coefficient. The findings manifest that the recommended design is well-suited for 5G mm-wave N257/N258 and N262 band applications.
Effect of biocementation on sand sample strength measured using direct shear tests

Published: May 2024

Urea, calcium and urease are the primary components of enzyme-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (EICP) method. The composition of these ingredients significantly affects the content and strength of the precipitate. The objective of this study is to investigate the optimum dosage of urea–calcium chloride (CaCl2) and urease enzyme from test-tube experiments, on the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitate when used with sand. The results of samples prepared using two different methods are compared using direct shear tests to note the effect of biocementation on the strength of the cemented sand. Bench-scale conductivity tests show that large urea–calcium chloride concentrations in combination with adequate urease activity improve the precipitate efficiency. The method of treatment also affects the strength of the treated sand, with the injection method being more efficient in cementing the sand particles compared to the mix-and-compact approach. While both the sample preparation methods resulted in the increase in peak friction angle and cohesion intercept, concentration of urea–calcium chloride higher than 0.75 mol/l and urease activity more than 30 kU/l reduced the overall shear strength. Precipitate strength was governed by its morphology, which varied depending on chemical concentrations and urease activity. Stress–dilatancy relationships for EICP-treated sands appear to follow Taylor's work-hypothesis.
Evolution of Brazilian Democracy: Unveiling Election Dynamics in Political Issues, Negativity, and Acclaim
Authors: Gonçalves Isabella , De-Lima-Santos Mathias-Felipe , Fenoll Vicente , David Yossi
Published: May 2024

In recent years, Brazil, as the world’s fourth-largest democracy, witnessed the dominance of polarized and symbolically charged electoral campaigns on social media, culminating in the election of a populist political figure in 2018 and his subsequent defeat in 2022. Extensive research has indicated that political campaigns often sidelined substantive policy proposals in favor of negative and divisive issues. However, a critical gap remains in the absence of temporal investigations contrasting the prevalence of negativity and acclaim campaigns on social media platforms during elections. This study addresses this gap by examining associations between political issues and negative and acclaim campaigns across two Brazilian electoral campaigns. Drawing upon a sample of messages posted on Twitter (n = 1,191) during the presidential elections of 2018 and 2022, our study reveals associations between substantive political issues, such as education and health, and acclaim campaign strategies, while the divisive issues of Covid-19 and corruption are associated with negative campaign strategies. Moreover, the results suggest that gender policy is related to both acclaim and negative messages since it is a polarizing issue in Brazilian politics. Our study also shows an increased negativity trend, with the 2022 presidential election campaign more likely to be negative than in 2018. By conducting a temporal analysis of Brazil’s political context, our study sheds light on the evolving dynamics of political communication in the age of social media, contributing substantially to the literature on negativity in political campaigns.
Effects of BDNF and epidural stimulation on locomotor outcomes and spinal RORb interneurons after complete SCI in mouse
Authors:   , Stachowski Nicholas James , Dougherty Kimberly J.
Published: May 2024

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts descending control of spinal circuits below the lesion, often resulting in chronic paralysis and/or hyperreflexia. Lumbar spinal circuits can generate locomotor rhythm and pattern in the absence of descending control and, thus, serve as therapeutic targets. Locomotor rehabilitation after complete SCI relies on excitatory and inhibitory sensory and motor pathways and functional recovery will likely require a multifaceted approach. To identify specific changes associated with functional recovery, we utilized a mouse model of SCI to test the effects of virally-delivered brain derived neurotrophic factor (AAV-BDNF) with and without daily sub-motor threshold epidural stimulation (ES), both of which have been associated with locomotor improvements. AAV-BDNF resulted in significant improvements in hindlimb stepping, but also exacerbated hyperreflexia. BDNF-induced hyperreflexia was reduced during ES, but daily stimulation had no lasting effect on locomotor outcomes. Given their role in gating proprioceptive afferents during locomotion, we hypothesized that inhibitory RORb interneurons were a point of convergence of BDNF and ES actions, and that cellular excitability would be related to locomotor improvements. Whole-cell patch clamp recordings from RORb neurons in lumbar spinal slices revealed that the excitability of inhibitory deep dorsal RORb neurons was decreased in mice with poor locomotor function but similar to control in 'good stepping' groups after SCI. Further, chemogenetic excitation of lumbar RORb neurons reduced BDNF-induced hyperreflexia and improved stepping, mimicking the effects of ES. Taken together, our findings identify inhibitory RORb interneurons a target population to restore locomotor function after complete SCI.
Psychiatric Treatment with Elite Athletes: A Stepwise Approach to Mitigate Risk
Authors: Manocchio Andrew , Akpobiyeri Abigail , Stillman Mark
Published: May 2024

Research has suggested that elite athletes display a proneness to psychopathology, as well as increased likelihoods of engaging in risky behaviors, compared to the general population. This review addresses a gap in the literature pertaining to the pharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic modalities in sports settings, resulting in either monotherapy or combination therapy. We advocate for a risk-benefit assessment to guide this process, with an aim to implement the least invasive, pragmatic option for intervention. This assessment is informed by weighing potential barriers to psychotherapy with elite athletes, (e.g. stigma, time constraints, altered expectations of outcomes, and personality factors) against the benefits and barriers of pharmacotherapy (e.g., side effects that may impact performance). We recommend evidence-based practices that align with a balance of both the athlete’s and the organization’s goals; ultimately, preserving the well-being and rights of the athlete. Finally, treatment must be tailored to address variables that are relevant to elite athletes (e.g., side effects impacting performance, altered expectations, doping regulations). We suggest the notion of “flexibility within fidelity” in our stepwise guide, in that there can be fluidity and movement across the assessment stages to adjust recommendations as needed for the sake of optimizing the athlete’s care and goals.

Material Selection for PMEDM Process
Authors: Thien Nguyen Van , Son Nguyen Hong
Published: May 2024

Powder Mixed Electro-Discharge Machining (PMEDM) is a non-traditional machining process. This method is used more and more to machine complex surfaces, parts made from materials with high hardness. Three indispensable components in PMEDM are powder, dielectric fluid and electrode. These components have a great influence on the efficiency of the machining process. This study was conducted to choose the best types for all three components mentioned above. The numbers of powder types, dielectric fluid types and electrode material types considered were ten, three and seven, respectively. The weight of each criterion in each product category was calculated using the two methods Rank Order Centroid (ROC) and Rank Sum (RS). In each case, the two methods were used to rank the alternatives are Faire Un Choix Adéquat (FUCA) (in French) and Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to COmpromise Solution (MARCOS). The optimal option will be found from the results of ranking the alternatives. The results of ranking the alternatives were also subjected to sensitivity analysis by using Sperman coefficient. This study discovered that the best option found when using the FUCA method is also the best option found when using the MARCOS method, and the best option that was found does not depend on the used weighting method.

Authors: Jabbar Zina Saad Abdul , Abdullah Mohammed Najeeb
Published: May 2024

This experimental study examined the impact of die shape on the mechanical characteristics of the AA7075, the aluminum alloy, extruded by hot direct extrusion. These characteristics include the extrusion load, hardness and compression tests, and stress-strain curve. Three alternative widths of the extruded metal exit zone (16, 18, and 20 mm) and three different die angles (15°, 30°, and 45°) were considered in the experiments. According to the findings, the extrusion load for the extruded items was the highest at an angle of 30° and the lowest at an angle of 15°. In terms of the hardness test of extruded materials specimens, the hardest areas were located at the outer circumference for all extrusion diameters and angles. Although the extruded samples’ compression test results showed variations in the samples’ loads before and after extrusion, it was also noticed that some of the other samples’ stress and strain curves converged while others had only slight differences.

Published: May 2024

This article investigates material selection for components in worm gear reduction gearboxes, focusing on the worm shaft, gearbox casing, and worm gear body. The screw shaft’s and worm gear body’s material selection involved evaluating six criteria: hardness, tensile strength, yield strength, relative elongation, relative contraction, and impact strength. Gearbox casing materials were selected based on five parameters, including tensile strength, yield strength, relative elongation, impact strength, and hardness. The authors employed three Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods, Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), Root Assessment Method (RAM), and Proximity Indexed Value (PIV) to assess material choices. Various methods, including Entropy, Logarithmic Percentage Change-driven Objective Weighting (LOPCOW), and Equal, determined weights for the criteria. Remarkably, consistent optimal material types emerged across all MCDM and weight determination methods, showcasing the robustness of the results. For screw shafts, C35 steel was identified as the optimal type. GC120- 04 stood out among nine materials for gearbox casing production. C35CrMo was determined as the best type among eight steel types for manufacturing the worm gear body. In summary, this study provides a comprehensive and objective approach to material selection for worm gear reduction gearbox components, offering valuable insights for decision-making in the mechanical engineering industry.

Published: May 2024

Phlosophy of memory is a hot topic in the cognitive sciences and philosophy of mind. This work examines the dispute between simulations and causal theoris of memory by means of an examination of the feeling of familiarity and its relation to memory traces, more specifically in how they increase the fluency of reconstruction of past episodes. Understanding the relationship between familiarity and memory traces, and furthermore, the relation between a fully-fledged phenomenology of memory and a sense of subjective certainty of the episode has occurred in the past leads to a different interpretation of the rivalry between the CTM and the simulationist account
Cooperation and interoperability between public security services and medical service in the aspect of CBRN threats in the territory of the Republic of Poland
Authors: Konieczny Marcin
Published: May 2024

The article deals with the issue of cooperation and interoperability between the services responsible for public security and medical entities, including emergency medical units. The topic seems interesting due to the growing problem of threats resulting from a possible use of CBRN agents. As a general rule, toxic chemicals, pathogens of all kinds, and radioactive and nuclear substances can get out of control at random, but they can also be used deliberately – in terrorist attacks. Regardless of the cause, they pose a serious threat to life and health, as well as to the environment. The author puts forward the thesis that in the context of this type
of threat, cooperation between the entities designated to save lives and health is insufficient and it absolutely requires the implementation of methods ensuring better coordination of activities. Based on the available relevant literature, the article describes the concepts of public security, health safety and threats. The aim of the study is to analyze common training, methods and systems of cooperation between services responsible for public security, in particular the principles of notifying and informing about threats related to the possible use of CBRN, particularly in terms of preventing such threats, responding to them, counteracting and taking relevant protective measures. The article addresses the issue of the duties, scope of responsibility and competences of individual formations in the light of legal regulations in force. It also addresses the unresolved issue of insufficient coordination and the deficit in the area of rapid information exchange. The study indicates solutions and recommendations that could fill this gap for the benefit of public security and state authorities. The research method adopted for the purposes of this study is the analysis of the relevant literature.

Smart Defense: How Self-Learning AI Can Shield Bangladeshi Medical Records
Authors: Mazumder Engr. Rajib , Anwar Hossain Muhammad , Chakraborty Dr. Aparna
Published: May 2024

The digitalization of healthcare records in Bangladesh presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly concerning the security and protection of sensitive patient information. As electronic health records (EHRs) become increasingly prevalent, the threat of cyberattacks targeting medical data escalates, necessitating innovative solutions to fortify the country's healthcare cybersecurity infrastructure. This paper investigates the efficacy of self-learning artificial intelligence (AI) systems in safeguarding Bangladeshi medical records against cyber threats.
The traditional methods of securing medical records, such as firewalls and antivirus software, are proving inadequate against the evolving tactics of cybercriminals. Bangladesh faces unique challenges in this regard, including limited resources, lack of cybersecurity awareness among healthcare professionals, technological fragmentation, and an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. To address these challenges, there is a growing imperative to explore novel approaches that can adapt and evolve in real-time to counter emerging cyber threats.
Self-learning AI systems represent a promising frontier in healthcare cybersecurity. By leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms, these systems can analyze vast amounts of data to detect patterns indicative of cyber threats. Unlike static security measures, self-learning AI continuously learns from new information and adjust their defense strategies, accordingly, enabling them to stay ahead of evolving threats. Key functionalities of self-learning AI include anomaly detection, threat prediction, and adaptive defense mechanisms, all of which are essential for safeguarding medical records in Bangladesh's healthcare landscape.
The implications of integrating self-learning AI into Bangladesh's healthcare cybersecurity framework are significant. Not only can these technologies enhance the detection and prevention of cyber threats, but they can also alleviate resource constraints and technical challenges faced by healthcare organizations. However, successful implementation requires comprehensive training, adherence to data privacy regulations, and ongoing monitoring to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of AI-driven security measures.
The protection of medical records is paramount as Bangladesh continues its digital transformation in healthcare. Self-learning AI offers a dynamic and proactive approach to cybersecurity, empowering healthcare organizations to mitigate risks and preserve patient privacy in an increasingly digitized landscape. Embracing these innovative technologies is crucial for building a resilient healthcare ecosystem that prioritizes data security and patient trust.
PRESENCIA E INFLUENCIA DE LOS PADRES DE LA IGLESIA EN LOS ALBORES DE LA SOCIEDAD NOVOHISPANA. PROPUESTAS METODOLÓGICAS Y LÍNEAS DE INVESTIGACIÓN PARA INVESTIGADORES LATINOAMERICANOS
Authors: Flores Colin Miguel Santiago
Published: May 2024

Esta investigación se enmarca en el contexto del pensamiento social y religioso del siglo XVI novohispano, con el objetivo de demostrar la rica influencia patrística en la sociedad religiosa del periodo estudiado. Al analizar varios textos de forma exhaustiva, se identifican sus fuentes patrísticas desde esta doble perspectiva: por un lado, el uso específico de textos y citas de los Padres de la Iglesia por parte de los escritores novohispanos, a través de una revisión sincrónica, tomando en cuenta en la mayoría de los casos el año de composición de la obra, aunque su publicación sea posterior; en segundo lugar, ubicadas relaciones de influencia o dependencia de autores y obras, se señalan algunas “tradiciones textuales de textos novohispanos”. De este modo, se clasifican más de 850 referencias patrísticas en los textos analizados, contribuyendo así a la profundización de las influencias teológicas y espirituales del pensamiento religioso novohispano del siglo XVI. Esto comprueba que el conocimiento y amplia utilización de textos patrísticos por parte de los autores novohispanos en general, y la utilización de los Padres de la Iglesia en obras tanto catequéticas como teológicas en particular, no son algo exclusivo de algunas de las órdenes religiosas presentes en Nueva España durante el siglo XVI, sino que todas siguen el método teológico de la época y evocan las enseñanzas patrísticas como auctoritas en sus escritos. Al final se propone aplicar esta metodología de estudio en los campos de investigación teológica o patrística en Latinoamérica durante el periodo colonial.

Inspiracją do zastosowania takiego namysłu jest przede wszystkim rozwój koncepcji troski w dyskursach feministycznych. W artykule podejmuję się sprawdzenia, jak koncepcja ta może funkcjonować w świecie zdominowanym przez technologię, jeśli wpiszemy ją w ramy spolegliwego opiekuństwa? Odpowiedzi na wyzwania współczesnego świata, zwłaszcza na postępujące zmiany klimatyczne, rosnące nierówności społeczne oraz gwałtowny rozwój technologii zwykło się poszukiwać w ramach systemu, w którym świat ten funkcjonuje — dla podkreślenia różnicy pomiędzy nieco już zmurszałym kapitalizmem rodem z początków minionego stulecia oraz nałożenia nań nieco bardziej „przyjaznej” (a jednocześnie jeszcze bardziej alienującej) maski, pod którą kryje się przekonanie, że interesy wielkich korporacji da się pogodzić z potrzebami „maluczkich”. Przyjęta w artykule metodologia pozwala zweryfikować, jaką korzyść może przynieść feministyczna reinterpretacja koncepcji osadzonych w dawniejszych kontekstach czasowych i społecznych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ich zastosowania w kontekście rozwoju technologicznego.

Koncepcja etyki troski opracowana przez Carol Gilligan uznawana jest w ramach teorii feministycznej za oryginalny i interesujący model konstruowania wzorców dziewczyńskiej empatii. Stosując ją jako narzędzie analityczne, pochylam się nad wybranymi modelami narracyjnymi w utworach kultury popularnej, kierowanych przede wszystkim do grona młodych odbiorczyń. Troskę oraz gniew traktuję jako afekty mające olbrzymi wpływ na decyzje podejmowane przez bohaterki serialu Dzicz oraz literacko-filmowej serii Igrzyska śmierci, kierujące się konkretnie troską o bezpieczeństwo najbliższych oraz potrzebą specyficznie postrzeganej sprawiedliwości. Tak budowane strategie narracyjne pozwalają odczytywać nastoletnie bohaterki w sytuacji opresji jako upodmiotowione i sprawcze postaci, zwiększając reprezentatywność postaw niezależnych bohaterek dziewczęcych w kulturze popularnej.
A consciência metalinguística à luz do THAM2
Authors: Figueira Ana Paula Couceiro
Published: May 2024

Muitos autores definem consciência metalinguística enquanto a capacidade de refletir e analisar de forma consciente e intencional os componentes estruturais da linguagem. Para leitores menos avisados, pode ser concetualizada como a capacidade de compreender e revelar a compreensão do que é lido, observado. Esta capacidade, a compreensão, é de inegável importância para todas as tarefas do humano. Consideramos a necessidade de a avaliar, analisar e promover, intervindo. Em Portugal não existem recursos válidos neste domínio. Apresentamos o THAM2 (recurso de origem italiana e já em processo de aferição em Portugal, orientado para meninos(as) dos 9-14 anos de idade), e alguns resultados obtidos (27 sujeitos portugueses, com 9 anos de idade). Embora escassos, os resultados são bastante promissores: a componente linguística do THAM2 foi realizada com maior facilidade por parte dos participantes da amostra, quando comparada com a componente metalinguística. Os intervenientes aderem bem à tarefa, embora demasiado longa. Neste contexto, o THAM2, embora com necessidade de mais estudos e eventuais ajustes, apresenta-se como uma medida fiável da consciência metalinguística, fazendo uma avaliação aprofundada de vários constructos bem definidos, a partir de tarefas que diferem na sua complexidade e dificuldade. A diversidade de capacidades metalinguísticas avaliadas poderá constituir uma vantagem da utilização do instrumento em investigações sobre o tema, e sobre a sua relação com a aprendizagem da leitura e da escrita. da amostra, quando comparada com a componente metalinguística.

Published: May 2024

Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal and metastatic malignancy, mainly because it often remains undetected until advanced stages due to the limitations of current diagnostic methods, rendering currently available therapies ineffective. Therefore, it is imperative to identify useful biomarkers for early diagnosis and new therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer. Recently, extracellular vesicles have emerged as promising biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Given their presence in various bodily fluids, extracellular vesicles offer a non-invasive approach through liquid biopsy to detect and monitor cancer progression. In this review, we comprehensively examine the multifaceted roles of extracellular vesicles in the progression of cancer, while also exploring their potential as diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarkers in the context of pancreatic cancer.

Stamping of round hollow semi-finished products by hot reverse extrusion is one of the initial operations in the manufacture of hollow products for special purposes. The force and shape change of the metal during hot plastic forming is significantly affected by the deformation rate or the speed of movement of the deforming tool. For special-purpose products, certain mechanical properties are required in the wall height and bottom part. The wall height properties are ensured at subsequent stretching transitions with thinning of the semi-finished product obtained by hot extrusion, which involves working out the metal structure by plastic deformation to achieve the required properties. Therefore, it is an urgent task to study the effect of the deformation rate on the force and shape change of the metal during hot reverse extrusion of hollow semi-finished products.To determine the influence of the deformation rate on the parameters of hot reverse extrusion with the dispensing of hollow semi-finished products from round and square billets by means of finite element method (FEM) modeling and to compare the results of theoretical researches.Theoretical researches of extrusion power modes, specific forces, and the stress-strain state of metal were carried out by modeling using the FEM in the DEFORM software environment.The FEM was used to model the process of hot reverse extrusion with dispensing of round hollow semi-finished products from mild steel with protrusions at the end of the bottom part on the side of the cavity and on the outer surface. The deformation rate was in the range of 20 to 80 mm/sec. Round and square cross-sectional blanks were used. The dependence of the extrusion force on the punch displacement was determined. The distribution of specific forces on the deforming tool was determined. The stress-strain state and temperature distribution in the deformed metal at the end of extrusion were determined. The development of the metal structure by hot plastic deformation was evaluated and the results obtained were comparedThe effect of the deformation rate on the parameters of hot reverse extrusion with dispensing of round hollow semi-finished products was determined.
Bimetallic dioxomolybdenum(VI) Complex Based on bis(2-Pyridinecarboxamide) Ligand As Effective Catalyst for Fuel Desulfurization

Published: May 2024

A dioxomolybdenum catalyst [(MoO2Cl2-O-MoO2Cl2)(L)] (1) (with L (1S,2S)-N,N´-bis(2-pyridinecarboxamide)-1,2-cyclohexane) was prepared and used as catalyst for the desulfurization of a multicomponent model fuel containing the most refractory sulfur compounds in real fuels. This complex showed to have a high efficiency to oxidize the aromatic benzothiophene derivative compounds present in fuels, mainly using a biphasic 1:1 model fuel/MeOH system. This process conciliates catalytic oxidative and extractive desulfurization, occurring the oxidation of the sulfur compounds in the polar organic solvent. The oxidative catalytic performance of (1) showed to be influenced by the presence of water in the system. Using 50% aq. H2O2 it was possible to reuse the catalyst and the extraction solvent MeOH during ten consecutive cycles without loss of desulfurization efficiency.
Cancer Incidence Rates for non-Hispanic White Men and Women in the US in 2016–2020 with Respect to Solar UVB Doses, Diabetes and Obesity Prevalence, Lung Cancer Incidence Rates, and Alcohol Consumption: An Ecological Study
Authors: Grant William B.
Published: May 2024

This article reports the results of an ecological study of cancer incidence rates by state in the US for the period 2016-2020. The goals of this study were to determine the extent to which solar UVB doses still reduced cancer risk compared to findings reported in 2006 for cancer mortality rates for the periods 1950–1969 and 1970-1794 as well as cancer incidence rates for the period 1998–2002 and to determine which factors were recently associated with cancer risk. The cancer data were obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Indices were obtained for solar UVB at the surface for July 1992, and alcohol consumption, and diabetes and obesity prevalence near the 2016–2020 period. Lung cancer incidence rates were also used in the analyses. The cancers for which solar UVB is significantly associated with reduced incidence are bladder, brain (males), breast, corpus uteri, esophageal, gastric, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, pancreatic, and renal cancer. Lung cancer was significantly associated with colorectal, laryngeal, and renal cancer. Diabetes was also significantly associated with breast, liver, and lung cancer. Obesity prevalence was significantly associated with breast, colorectal and renal cancer. Alcohol consumption was associated with bladder and esophageal cancer. Thus diet has become a very important driver of cancer incidence rates. The dietary approach that would reduce the risk of diabetes, obesity, lung cancer, and, therefore cancer, would be one based mostly on whole-plants and restrictions on red and processed meats and ultraprocessed foods.
