Published: February 2025

Welding has a very important role in engineering and metal production repairs. This is very reasonable because every construction can hardly be separated from metal which involves welding elements. Metal is widely used because it has several advantages, including being strong, rust-resistant, resistant to wear and tear and the raw materials are very economical. The development of technology and science has also had an impact on the increasing demand for metal connections of different types. Several industries that use joining by welding different types of metal include the transportation industry, car manufacturing, shipping and airplanes. One thing that can be done is connecting different types of metal which can be applied in the shipping industry. This research aims to determine the impact of variations in welding FCAW Grade A material 16 mm thick on ship deck insert plates. The use of Flux Core Arc Wellding (FCAW) is often found in the shipping industry. FCAW or what is usually called CO2 arc welding actually includes Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding, only the protective gas is not only a noble gas such as Argon (Ar) but also CO2 gas or it could be a mixture of the two gases. The FCAW welding process is often used because the protective gas used is CO2 so it is suitable for use in welding steel construction. CO2 decomposes into CO and O2 when in contact with high temperatures. As a result of the high freezing speed, the CO gas produced is trapped in the metal which then forms cavities. Efforts are made to prevent this by providing a mixture of Si and Mn to the electrode so that no gas is trapped and no reaction occurs.

Published: February 2025

Solar panels are the main component of a solar power generation system, converting sunlight into electrical energy. This study develops a solar cell monitoring method to collect output data in a specific text format and uses solar cell modules to maximize the efficiency of solar energy absorption that moves from east to west throughout the day. The solar panel tracking system uses the Raspberry Pi 4 as the central controller to follow the sun's movement. It is supported by LDR sensors to detect light intensity and move the panel according to the direction of light. In addition, the BH1750 and BME280 sensors are used to measure additional factors, such as temperature, wind pressure, humidity, light intensity, and light angle, that also affect the panels' power production. The collected data is processed using fuzzy logic to convert the exact values from the sensor into fuzzy data, allowing for more precise control in panel position optimization. The results showed that the system can improve the efficiency of solar energy absorption, with an optimal intensity level of 53,999.99 lux in very bright conditions and a fuzzy-lux difference of 1.1%, which is lower than previous research, indicating that the system is more efficient and supports accurate real-time monitoring.

Authors: Rama Putra Gustian , Ariftiarno Reza , Karlitasari Lita , Dinar Munggaran Akhmad
Published: February 2025

This research evaluates the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) to determine the most efficient scheduling method for the development of an information system at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Pakuan. The system aims to consolidate work unit information and assist faculty leaders in decision-making. Both methods identified the same critical path (A-B-C-E-G-H), ensuring focus on activities critical to project completion. The CPM method estimated a project duration of 50 days, while the PERT method estimated 52 days. The two-day difference reflects CPM’s deterministic and optimistic approach, making it suitable for projects with predictable timelines. PERT, with its probabilistic calculations, incorporates activity duration variations and risks, providing more conservative estimates for projects with higher uncertainty. Due to its shorter duration and potential cost savings, the CPM method is recommended for the Faculty's information system development project. This research emphasizes the importance of selecting a scheduling method aligned with project complexity and uncertainty.

Published: February 2025

Different shapes of carbon-fiber plates (CFPs) are likely to affect lower limb biomechanics, particularly under conditions of running-induced fatigue, and potentially impact runners’ performance and risk of injury. However, no studies have yet elucidated the precise effects of CFP shapes on the lower limb biomechanical characteristics subsequent to running-induced fatigue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different CFP shapes in running shoes on the lower limb biomechanics of runners following running-induced fatigue. 12 male runners (aged 21.8 ± 1.3 years, mass 59.1 ± 4.1 kg, height 168.9 ± 2.2 cm, weekly running distance 68.8 ± 5.5 km/week) were recruited for this study. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare kinematic and kinetic data, while SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping) was used to assess the activation levels of lower limb muscles. Compared to wearing flat CFP shoes (“Flat”), wearing curved CFP shoes (“Curve”) resulted in a significant reduction in the hip (p = 0.034) and knee contact angle (p < 0.000), as well as a significant decrease in the hip flexion moment (p = 0.008). The activation level of the tibialis anterior (TA) was significantly higher when wearing “Curve” in pre-fatigue compared to “Flat”, whereas the opposite was observed post-fatigue. The curved CFP altered the bending angle of the forefoot, thereby significantly reducing the joint angles and joint moments of the hip and knee.
Innovative 3D printing technologies and advanced materials revolutionizing orthopedic surgery: current applications and future directions

Published: February 2025

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has rapidly become a transformative force in orthopedic surgery, enabling the creation of highly customized and precise medical implants and surgical tools. This review aims to provide a more systematic and comprehensive perspective on emerging 3D printing technologies—ranging from extrusion-based methods and bioink printing to powder bed fusion—and the broadening array of materials, including bioactive agents and cell-laden inks. We highlight how these technologies and materials are employed to fabricate patient-specific implants, surgical guides, prosthetics, and advanced tissue engineering scaffolds, significantly enhancing surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Despite notable progress, the field faces challenges such as optimizing mechanical properties, ensuring structural integrity, addressing regulatory complexities across different regions, and considering environmental impacts and cost barriers, especially in low-resource settings. Looking ahead, innovations in smart materials and functionally graded materials (FGMs), along with advancements in bioprinting, hold promise for overcoming these obstacles and expanding the capabilities of 3D printing in orthopedics. This review underscores the pivotal role of interdisciplinary collaboration and ongoing research in harnessing the full potential of additive manufacturing, ultimately paving the way for more effective, personalized, and durable orthopedic solutions that improve patient quality of life.

Development of the embryonic palate requires that the palatal shelves (PS), which extend from maxillary processes, to grow bilaterally and vertically alongside the tongue. This growth continues until embryonic day (E) 13.5, after which the PS elevate above the tongue and adhere, completing the process by E14.5. Current models indicate that this elevation process involves a complex vertical-to-horizontal PS reorientation. While earlier studies have implied that reorientation occurs rapidly, the precise timing has not been resolved. Time-restricted pregnancies with a 1-h resolution showed that in 97% of C57BL/6J embryos, the PS were unelevated at E14.0. However, 6 h later, at E14.25, the PS had completed elevation in 80% of embryos, indicating that the PS elevate in a rapid and constrained timeframe. Interestingly, all E14.25 embryos with unelevated PS (20%) were female, suggesting sex differences in C57BL/6J PS elevation. In FVB/NJ embryos, the elevation window started earlier (E13.875-E14.25), and without any sex differences. An intermediate stage with unilateral PS elevation was frequently observed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of various stages showed that PS elevation began with posterior bilateral bulges, which then progressed laterally and anteriorly over time. During elevation, we observed increased cell proliferation in the PS lingual region. Within the bulge, cell orientation was tilted towards the tongue, and actomyosin activity was increased, which together may participate in horizontal projection of the bulge. Thus, our data reveal novel insights into rapid dynamic changes during PS elevation, and lay the foundation for future studies of normal and abnormal palatogenesis.
Hypothesis: ultrasonography can document dynamic in vivo rouleaux formation due to mobile phone exposure
Authors: Brown Robert R. , Biebrich Barbara
Published: February 2025

Carrying a cellphone against the body has become commonplace in our world replete with smartphones. Acute and chronic health effects caused by these devices emitting radiofrequency radiation from multiple antennas have not been well evaluated. In this study, the popliteal vein of a healthy volunteer was imaged with ultrasonography prior to and following the placement of an idle, but active smartphone against her knee for 5 min. Pre-exposure longitudinal sonographic images demonstrate a normal anechoic lumen to the popliteal vein. Images obtained 5 min after direct skin exposure to the smartphone demonstrate a dramatic change in the acoustic appearance of the vessel. The interior of the vessel became coarsely hypoechoic with sluggish flow seen in real-time images, a typical sonographic appearance for rouleaux formation. A follow up examination performed 5 min after the subject walked around yielded continued rouleaux formation in the popliteal vein, albeit less dramatic than that observed immediately post exposure. This revolutionary in vivo method to assess radiofrequency radiation induced rouleaux formation should be further pursued in the general population to determine its prevalence and if its occurrence provides a unique biomarker of exposure that may predict morbidity.

Digital mental health treatments (DMHTs) have begun to be implemented in some healthcare systems across the United States. These implementations are conducted as business arrangements. Thus, information on successful or unsuccessful implementations is not published or disseminated. This slows progress, as experiences and learnings are siloed within each organization, hindering or preventing learning across implementations and slowing the progress. To address this, the Society for Digital Mental Health established a DMHT Implementation Workgroup, with the goal of developing a DMHT Playbook that describes current best practices in DMHT implementation in American healthcare settings.

Methods

The workgroup was comprised of representatives from 7 healthcare systems and 10 DMHT companies that have conducted implementations, along with other stakeholders and technical experts. The workgroup met virtually to discuss implementation of effective DMHT implementation processes and inform the development of an interview guide, which was then administered to another 20 key opinion leaders with DMHT implementation experience. Concepts and thematic constructs were extracted by experts in qualitative data analysis. These findings were discussed and refined by the Workgroup based on the Workgroup's experience.

Results

The resulting playbook includes detailed methods, processes and procedures, representing practices that have been successful for implementing DMHTs in healthcare settings.

Discussion

The workgroup recognizes that DMHT implementation is a rapidly evolving field. The successful practices for DMHT implementation described in this playbook may be useful for improving the efficiency of future DMHT implementations in American healthcare systems. However, the authors caution that as the field rapidly evolves, successful implementation practices will likely evolve as well.

Background

The relationship between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and mortality outcomes in elderly patients with non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been well characterized. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between HbA1c levels and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in elderly individuals with non-diabetic CKD.

Methods

Data from the NHANES (1999-2018) were analyzed to measure HbA1c levels in whole blood using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Information on deaths and subsequent details was collected through the National Mortality Index until December 31, 2019. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all-cause and CVD mortality were calculated using weighted Cox proportional hazards and restricted cubic spline models.

Results

Among the 1,931 participants (mean [SE] age, 73.2 [0.2] years; 61.9% female), over a median follow-up period of 7.6 years, a total of 1,003 deaths were observed, including 412 from CVD. HbA1c was divided into four quartiles: Quartile 1 (3.7–5.3%), Quartile 2 (5.4–5.6%), Quartile 3 (5.7–5.8%) as the reference group, and Quartile 4 (5.9–6.4%). Higher risks of all-cause mortality were noted in the lowest and highest HbA1c quartiles, with adjusted HR (95% CI) of 1.48 (1.18–1.87) and 1.31 (1.01–1.70) respectively. For CVD mortality, the lowest quartile showed a significantly increased risk (HR 1.94, 95% CI: 1.29–2.90), but the highest quartile did not significantly differ from the reference, with HR 1.14 (0.73–1.77). The RCS analysis indicated a U-shaped nonlinear relationship between HbA1c levels and all-cause mortality (P = 0.026 for nonlinearity) and a J-shaped nonlinear relationship with CVD mortality (P = 0.035 for nonlinearity).

Conclusion

This cohort study suggests that both low and high HbA1c levels are associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in elderly patients with non-diabetic CKD.

Recent studies indicate that microorganisms are crucial for maintaining human health. Dysbiosis, or an imbalance in these microbial communities, is strongly linked to a variety of human diseases. Therefore, understanding the impact of microbes on disease is essential. The DuGEL model leverages the strengths of graph convolutional neural network (GCN) and graph attention network (GAT), ensuring that both local and global relationships within the microbe-disease association network are captured. The integration of the Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) further enhances the model’s ability to understand sequential dependencies in the feature representations. This comprehensive approach allows DuGEL to achieve a high level of accuracy in predicting potential microbe-disease associations, making it a valuable tool for biomedical research and the discovery of new therapeutic targets. By combining advanced graph-based and sequence-based learning techniques, DuGEL addresses the limitations of existing methods and provides a robust framework for the prediction of microbe-disease associations. To evaluate the performance of DuGEL, we conducted comprehensive comparative experiments and case studies based on two databases, HMDAD, and Disbiome to demonstrate that DuGEL can effectively predict potential microbe-disease associations.

In complex and diverse environments, plants face constant challenges from various pathogens, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses, which can severely impact their growth, development, and survival. Mosses, representing early divergent lineages of land plants, lack traditional vascular systems yet demonstrate remarkable adaptability across diverse habitats. While sharing the fundamental innate immune systems common to all land plants, mosses have evolved distinct chemical and physical defense mechanisms. Notably, they exhibit resistance to many pathogens that typically affect vascular plants. Their evolutionary significance, relatively simple morphology, and well-conserved defense mechanisms make mosses excellent model organisms for studying plant-pathogen interactions. This article reviews current research on moss-pathogen interactions, examining host-pathogen specificity, characterizing infection phenotypes and physiological responses, and comparing pathogen susceptibility and defense mechanisms between mosses and angiosperms. Through this analysis, we aim to deepen our understanding of plant immune system evolution and potentially inform innovative approaches to enhancing crop disease resistance.

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) encompass over 50 histologic subtypes, representing more than 1% of solid tumors. Standard treatments include surgical resection and therapies such as anthracyclines or trabectedin for advanced cases, though challenges persist due to the tumor microenvironment’s complexity and limited immune profiling data. This study evaluates Trabectedin therapy in 22 refractory STS patients, analyzing progression-free survival (PFS) and immune responses. Immune monitoring included deep immunophenotyping (200+ parameters), gene expression profiling (103 genes), and soluble proteome analysis (99 analytes). Using RECIST1.1 criteria, 68.2% of patients achieved stable disease (SD), while 31.8% exhibited progression disease (PD). Therapy duration revealed 59.1% treated for less than 12 months (<12M) and 40.9% for 12 or more months (≥12M). A significant PFS improvement was observed in SD versus PD patients (p=0.0154), while therapy duration showed no effect (p=0.5433). PD patients showed reduced eosinophils (p<0.05) and Th2 cells (p<0.05). Gene expression analysis identified changes in BTRC (decreased), IFNA1 (increased), and IL9 (increased) in PD versus SD patients (p<0.05). Patients treated ≥12M exhibited increased activated HLA-DR Th2 cells (p<0.05) and decreased exhausted B cells and NK cell subsets (p<0.05). Principal component and hierarchical clustering analyses identified distinct immune profiles associated with RECIST1.1 and therapy duration, underscoring immune profiling’s role in understanding treatment responses. These findings support further research into immune monitoring for future clinical trials.

This study investigates the effects of wave coupling on the oceanic and atmospheric responses to Tropical Storm Choi-wan (2021) using a coupled ocean-atmosphere model. Modeled tropical cyclone metrics and ocean responses are compared with and without coupling ocean waves. A wave dependent surface roughness scheme is evaluated to understand the wave influence on tropical cyclone induced changes in sea surface temperature (SST), ocean currents, and wave fields. The results reveal that wave coupling significantly improves the representation of SST cooling and vertical ocean thermal structures. The wave dependent roughness scheme outperforms in capturing the cooling effect and ocean mixing processes induced by the storm. Wave-current coupling also impacts significant wave height distributions, particularly in storm-affected regions, where coupled simulations yield more realistic patterns compared to uncoupled runs. Furthermore, the inclusion of wave-current interactions enhances the accuracy of simulated ocean currents, reflecting the intensifications and directional changes caused by the storm. Overall, the wave dependent roughness parametrization demonstrated superior performance in reproducing storm-induced oceanic responses, emphasizing the critical role of wave coupling in simulating extreme weather events. This study underscores the importance of advanced coupled modeling systems in improving predictions of tropical cyclones and their impacts on the ocean and atmosphere.
