Assessment of an Electric Vehicle Drive Cycle in Relation to Minimised Energy Consumption with Driving Behaviour: The Case of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Its Suburbs
Authors: Mamo Tatek , Gebresenbet Girma , Gopal Rajendiran , Yoseph Bisrat
Published: October 2023

Battery electric vehicles (BEV) are suitable alternatives for achieving energy independence and meeting the criteria for reducing greenhouse emissions in the transportation sector. Evaluating their performance and energy consumption in the real-data driving cycle (DC) is important. The purpose of this work is to develop a BEV DC for the interlinked urban and suburban route of Addis Ababa (AA) in Ethiopia. In this study, a new approach of micro-trip random selection-to-rebuild with behaviour split (RSBS) was implemented, and its effectiveness was compared via the k-means clustering method. When comparing the statistical distribution of velocity and acceleration with measured real data, the RSBS cycle shows a minimum error of 2% and 2.3%, respectively. By splitting driving behaviour, aggressive drivers were found to consume more energy because of frequent panic stops and subsequent acceleration. In braking mode, coast drivers were found to improve the regenerative braking possibility and efficiency, which can extend the range by 10.8%, whereas aggressive drivers could only achieve 3.9%. Also, resynthesised RSBS with the percentage of behaviour split and its energy and power consumption were compared with standard cycles. A significant reduction of 14.57% from UDDS and 8.9% from WLTC-2 in energy consumption was achieved for the AA and its suburbs DC, indicating that this DC could be useful for both the city and suburbs.

Published: October 2023

Relevance.Сhildren's negative behaviour may affect pulpitis treatment results. The study aimed to study the vital pulp therapy effectiveness for chronic fibrous pulpitis treatment in primary molars of children with negative behaviour.

Material and methods.The study involved 60 children aged 3-6 years with negative behaviour (according to the Frankl scale). Before the treatment, the children had non-pharmacological psychological behaviour management. One hundred and twenty primary molars were treated for pulpitis using the biological method. Follow-ups assessed the condition of the fillings and the presence/absence of clinical and radiographic signs of complications after 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Tooth survival rate determined the effectiveness of pulpitis treatment.

Results.The after-pulpitis-treatment complication rate where tooth extraction was necessary amounted to 15.0% after six months and 1.7% after 12 months (p<0.001); there were no complications after 18 and 24 months. During the first 12 months, 4.1% of cases required retreatment of pulpitis by pulpotomy. The retreatment rate due to filling defects was 20.8% after six months, and it then significantly decreased to 1.0-3.3% (p < 0,001). The tooth survival rate after pulpitis treatment was 83.3% after 24 months. There were no statistically significant differences between the pulpitis treatment results based on the children’s age, the localization of the carious cavities, and direct or indirect pulp capping.

Conclusion.The biological method of chronic fibrous pulpitis treatment in primary molars of children aged 3-6 years with negative behaviour had high 24-month effectiveness at an outpatient dental appointment (with preliminary psychological behaviour management). Most complications developed during the first six months after the treatment, to which dental filling defects contributed.

Published: October 2023

Fog computing is an emerging paradigm which extends the functionality of the cloud near to the end users. Its introduction helped in running different real-time applications where latency is a critical factor. This paradigm is motivated by the fast growth of Internet of Things (IoT) applications in different fields. By running Virtual Machines (VMs) on fog devices, different users will be able to offload their computational tasks to fog devices to get them done in a smooth, transparent, and faster manner. Nevertheless, the performance of real-time applications might suffer if no proper live virtual machine migration mechanism is adopted. Live VM migration aims to move the running VM from one physical fog node to another with minimal or zero downtime due to mobility issues. Many efforts have been made in this field to solve the challenges facing live VM migration in fog computing. However, there are remaining issues that require solutions and improvements. In this paper, the following presents the research outcomes: An extensive survey of existing literature on live VM migration mechanisms in fog computing. Also, a new novel classification approach for categorizing live VM migration mechanisms based on conventional and Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches to address live VM migration challenges is presented. Moreover, an identification of research gaps and in the existing literature and highlighting the areas where further investigation is required is done and finally a conclusion with a discussion of potential future research directions is drawn
Bishop Lambert of Arras (1093/94–1115), Boulogne-sur-Mer, Bibliothèque Municipale, 84 and the historical, liturgical and documentary legacies of the former bishopric of Cambrai/Arras
Authors: Vanderputten Steven
Published: October 2023

Cet article considère l’importance du ms. Boulogne-sur-Mer, BM 84 comme «manuscrit fondateur » de l’évêché d’Arras (1093/ 94). Rassemblant des arguments historiographiques, liturgiques et juridiques en un seul volume, il est révélateur de l’effort considérable investi dans la justification et la consolidation du nouvel évêché au cours des toutes premières années de son existence, ainsi que dans la représentation de son premier évêque Lambert comme promoteur de la réforme ecclésiastique alors en vigueur. Deux hypothèses sont proposées. Premièrement, la typologie des textes insérés dans le volume, leur contenu ainsi que leurs perspectives historiques indiquent que Lambert et ses associés cherchaient simultanément à établir des liens avec le passé de la région dans le cadre (géographique) du double diocèse de Cambrai/ Arras, et, dans la mesure où son autorité épiscopale était engagée, à marquer par son mandat une rupture profonde avec ce même passé. Deuxièmement, l’aspect hétéroclite de ce manuscrit ne provient pas tant d’une rédaction hâtive ou d’un manque de compétence de la part de ses auteurs, mais d’une méthode de compilation aléatoire fréquemment attestée dans la production écrite du milieu intellectuel auquel appartenait Lambert.

Published: October 2023

The number of people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance is increasing day by day. This increases the variety, number and consumption of gluten-free products. However, this study was the first in our country to determine whether the packaged gluten-free products contain mycotoxins. Aflatoxin (AF), ochratoxin (OTA), zearalenone (ZON), and deoxynivalenol (DON) were analyzed in 95 imported and domestic packaged gluten-free foods of different types and brands. Analyses were made with HPLC with fluorescent detector and HPLC with diode array detector. In addition, validation studies were completed with the addition of blank samples. OTA was detected in 9 food samples. In the OTA analysis, toxins were detected in 1 buckwheat flour, 3 pasta, 3 crackers or biscuits, 2 corn flours, but these values are below the values determined by the Turkish Food Codex (TFC). DON was found to be suitable for TFC in 7 types of pasta, 1 type of bread, and 3 types of crackers or biscuits.

Published: October 2023

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and demyelination of the central nervous system. Given the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of MS and the anti-inflammatory effect of Atropa belladonna (AB), the aim of this study was to determine the effect of AB on inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors in MOG35-55 induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Methods: Thirty-two purebred C57BL/6 mice, weighing (20±2g) were randomly assigned to the 4 groups: control, and three experimental groups: EAE, EAE+AB100, and EAE+AB300 that after EAE induction received 0, 100, and 300 mg/kg AB daily. AB was dissolved in PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) and the volume of gavage in all groups was 100 µL. After 30 days, the mice were weighed, anesthetized with ether and blood was collected directly from the heart. Specific animal ELISA kits measured the inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IL-17, IL-4, and TNF-α). One-way ANOVA with Duncan post hoc test was used for comparison between groups. Results: EAE increased serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-17, and decreased IL-10 and IL-4 compared to the control group. AB significantly decreased the mean level of TNF-α, IL-17 and increased IL-10 and IL-4 compared with EAE group. The effect of 300 mg/ kg was clearly better than 100 mg/kg. There was also a significant difference between the control group and the 300 mg/kg group. Conclusion: In the present study, AB plant extract increased serum levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines and decreased proinflammatory cytokines in the MS animal model.

Introduction: Using lasers in melanin depigmentation is one of the main fields of interest for dental practitioners and patients. However, it is important to know what would happen inside the tissue and how the cells would interact inside the tissue with a laser. Methods: In this study, we used both wavelengths of 445 nm and 808 nm on sheep gingiva to find out the effects and side effects of these diode lasers while using them for gingival depigmentation. Results: After microscopic evaluation, we concluded that 808 nm and 445 nm lasers with a power of 1 W are safe enough to use in the depigmentation of gingiva, and both lasers are highly effective in melanin pigments which are located in basal membrane. Conclusion: The 445 nm blue laser produced a less thermal effect, which means it is safer to be used in gingival hyperpigmentation than a diode laser.

Introduction: Many people suffer from skin photodamage, especially photoaging. The application of a laser to repair damages is a common therapeutic method that is used widely. In the present study, the effectiveness and molecular mechanism of an Er:Glass non-ablative fractional laser on the human skin was assessed via bioinformatics and network analysis. Methods: The gene expression profiles of 17 white female forearm skins which received an Er:Glass non-ablative fractional laser before and after laser treatment in two sessions were extracted from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Data were evaluated via GEO2R and the significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were assessed via protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. The central nodes were identified and discussed for the compared set of samples. Results: Five classes of samples were clustered in two categories: first, baseline, 7 and 14 days after the first session of laser treatment, and second, one day after the first laser session, 29 days after the first laser session, and 1 day after the second laser session. The gross cell functions such as cell division and cell cycle and immune response were highlighted as the early affected targets of the laser. Collagen synthesis was resulted after the first laser session. Conclusion: In conclusion, the time interval between laser sessions plays a critical role in the effectiveness of laser therapy. Findings indicate that the gross effect of laser application appears in a short time, and important processes such as collagen synthesis happen later.

Authors: Kim Eun Mi , Choi Su Jung
Published: October 2023

Purpose : This study explores the professional status of Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) in Korea, who, despite being legally certified, face instability in their professional standing, including their scope of practice and compensation.Method : The study uses Flexner’s professional characteristics as a framework to analyze and project the future trajectory of Korean APNs.Results : First, to ensure social accountability, professional bodies need to establish uniform nursing policies related to job roles, and healthcare institutions must adhere to these policies. Second, nursing leaders should spearhead the creation of nursing knowledge essential for the profession's advancement, aiming to establish it as the foundation for nursing practice through a consensus process within the nursing community. Third, the curriculum for APNs should enhance the quantitative and qualitative aspects of practice in response to societal needs. Fourth, professional bodies should formulate consistent nursing policies based on a thorough analysis of the healthcare environment and legal considerations, and guide their implementation in clinical practice through a consensus process within the nursing community. Lastly, guidelines should be established for professional standards suitable for the Korean context.Conclusion : Based on this review, it is recommended that all APNs adhere to the professional standards set by their respective organizations, actively participate in personal quality improvement initiatives, and fulfill their duties and roles as members of these professional bodies. Furthermore, these organizations should devise practical strategies to solidify the APN system and should spearhead a systematic consensus process that garners the agreement of all members within the nursing community.

A Data-driven Transfer Learning Method for Radio Map Estimation
Authors: Jaiswal Rahul Kumar , Elnourani Mohamed , Deshmukh Siddharth , Beferull-Lozano Baltasar
Published: October 2023

Estimating accurate radio maps is important for various tasks in wireless communications, such as channel modeling, resource allocation, and network planning, to name a few. Due to the changes in the propagation characteristics of the wireless environments, a radio map model learned under a particular wireless environment cannot be directly used in a new wireless environment. Moreover, learning a new model for every environment requires, in general, a large amount of data and is computationally demanding. In this work, we design an effective novel data-driven transfer learning method that transfers and fine-tunes a deep neural network (DNN)-based radio map model learned from an original wireless environment to other wireless environments with a certain level of similarity, allowing the radio map to be estimated with less amount of training data. As opposed to other widely used similarity measures that do not take into account the wireless propagation characteristics, we design a data-driven similarity measure that predicts the mean square error (MSE) and the amount of training data needed when learning a radio map in a new wireless environment. The proposed solution is corroborated by extensive simulations over a range of wireless environments, achieving savings of approximately 60-70% in sensor measurement data.

The use of interactive multimedia is an important part of education today, but the use of multimedia is still limited when teaching in the classroom. In this research, an experiment was carried out involving two groups of junior high school students. The first group used animated videos while the second group used PowerPoint multimedia. The data collected includes tests of understanding the concept of integers before and after using PowerPoint multimedia and animated videos in teaching. The analysis used includes the normality test, homogeneity test, and t-test to test whether there is a difference or not from the data of each group. The results of the data analysis show that there are differences in understanding the concept of concept numbers between those using powerpoint media and animated videos. The group that experienced the most significant difference was the group that used video animation compared to the group that used PowerPoint multimedia. The use of animated videos in this context can be an effective and interesting alternative in learning the context of integers.
Value-based Reimbursement as a Mechanism to Achieve Social and Financial Impact in the Healthcare System
Authors: de Silva Etges Ana Paula Beck , Liu Harry H. , Jones Porter , Polanczyk Carisi A.
Published: October 2023

Background: Value-based reimbursement strategies have been considered in the continuous search for establishing a sustainable healthcare system. For models that have been already implemented, success is demonstrated according to specific details of the patients’ consumption profile based on their clinical condition and the risk balance among all the stakeholders. From fee-for-service to value-based bundled payment strategies, the manner in which accurate patient-level cost and outcome information are used varies, resulting in different risk agreements between stakeholders. A thorough understanding of value-based reimbursement agreements that views such agreements as a mechanism for risk management is critical to the task of ensuring that the healthcare system generates social impacts while ensuring financial sustainability. This perspective article focuses on a critical analysis of the impact of value-based reimbursement strategies on the healthcare system from a social and financial perspective.

Methods: A critical analysis of the literature about value-based reimbursement was used to identify how these strategies impact healthcare systems. The literature analysis was followed by the conceptual description of value-based reimbursement agreements as mechanisms for achieving social and financial impacts on the healthcare system.

Results: There is no single successful path toward payment reform. Payment reform is used as a strategy to re-engineer the way in which the system is organized to provide care to patients, and its successful implementation leads to cultural, social, and financial changes. Stakeholders have reached consensus regarding the claim that the use of value reimbursement strategies and business models could increase efficiency and generate social impact by reducing healthcare inequity and improving population health. However, the successful implementation of such new strategies involves financial and social risks that require better management by all the stakeholders. The use of cutting-edge technologies are essential advances to manage these risks and must be paired with strong leadership focusing on the directive to improve population health and, consequently, value.

Conclusion: Payment reform is used as a mechanism to re-engineer how the system is organized to deliver care to patients, and its successful implementation is expected to result in social and financial modifications to the healthcare system.

Während der Einführung des Lehrplans 21 im Kanton Bern bietet die Pädagogische Hochschule Bern den Schulen fachdidaktische Begleitangebote zur Entwicklung eines kompetenzorientierten Unterrichts an. Ihre Konzeption bezieht sich hauptsächlich auf einen strukturierten Reflexionsprozess mit einer Sequenzierung, die auf der Grundlage individueller Entwicklungsschwerpunkte Unterrichtserprobungen und Reflexionen der Erfahrungen ermöglicht. Der didaktische Ansatz versteht sich als induktiv und entwicklungsorientiert. Er beabsichtigt, dass die Lehrpersonen individuell und kooperativ gute Praxis weiterentwickeln. Für die Dozierenden stellt dies einen Rollenwechsel von der Expertisevermittlung zur Prozessbegleitung dar. Die Konzeption und erste Evaluationsergebnisse werden in diesem Beitrag vorgestellt.
Sprachliche Bildung beim Philosophieren

Published: October 2023

Der Beitrag stellt ein Entwicklungsprojekt zur sprachlichen Bildung beim Philosophieren mit Kindern vor. Dozierende haben gemeinsam mit Lehrpersonen Unterrichtssequenzen entwickelt und durchgeführt. Der fachdidaktische Diskurs zum Philosophieren hat häufig bereits den bewussten Umgang mit Sprachhandlungen (z.B. Argumentieren) im Blick, indem dafür verschiedene stufenangepasste Redemittel angeboten werden. Um die Kinder jedoch auch auf der Ebene des Inhalts sprachlich zu unterstützen, fügten sich die Unterrichtssequenzen in grössere Unterrichtsthemen ein und fokussierten die Förderung des Wortschatzes. Schliesslichnutzt das Projekt drei Modalitäten zur Implementierung des Ansatzes: Kooperationen mit Lehrpersonen, interdisziplinäre Ausbildungsgefässe und eine praxisorientierte Handreichung.
Sprachbewusster Fremdsprachenunterricht braucht kompetente Lehrpersonen mit grossem fachlichem Wissen und Können. Praxisbezug der fremdsprachendidaktischen Ausbildung auf dem Prüfstand
Authors: Imgrund Bettina
Published: October 2023

Gemäss Lehrplan sind im Fremdsprachenunterricht Sprachkompetenzen und Kompetenzen im Bereich «Sprache und Kultur» zu erwerben. Wie diese Ziele erreicht werden und wie diese Bereiche zusammenspielen, ist allerdings noch unklar. Dass professionelle Kompetenzen von Lehrpersonen das Erreichen von Bildungszielen beeinflussen, davon kann aber sicher ausgegangen werden. Im Zentrum des Beitrags steht deshalb die Frage, wie Studierende der Pädagogischen Hochschule Thurgau ihre professionellen Kompetenzen und ihren Kompetenzaufbau in der Französischdidaktik wahrnehmen. Eine Schlussbemerkung zur Optimierung der Ausbildungsdidaktik mit Blick auf berufspraktische Fragen rundet den Beitrag ab.
Exploration of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation as a treatment option for adjuvant cancer and heart failure therapy

Published: October 2023

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has gained prominence in the treatment of various clinical disorders such as migraine, depression, and tinnitus. Based on increased scientific knowledge of the VNS and insights into the vagus nerve (VN) function and anatomy/conduction, robust treatment approaches have been developed. There are both noninvasive and invasive VNS (iVNS) techniques. Currently, only iVNS techniques are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In contrast, transcutaneous VNS (tVNS) is a new treatment option that is receiving increasing attention. The tVNS application uses the cutaneous distribution of afferent VN fibers in the auricle, the auricular branch of the VN (ABVN), or in the neck, the cervical branch of the VN (CBVN). However, the tVNS technique has not yet been sufficiently researched in its application and mode of action to be used clinically on a large scale. Moreover, the stimulation parameters of the VN vary widely in different studies. Despite the growing number of research papers on this topic, more coherence in neurostimulation research and neuroanatomical basis is needed. The aim of this review is to highlight new clinical treatment options based on existing clinically applied treatment options. In this article, current clinical applications of tVNS are analyzed and important stimulation parameters are highlighted. Based on this data, useful new tVNS therapies are recommended. The focus will be placed on the study of inflammatory processes associated with cancer and on applications to cardiovascular events such as heart failure.

Chemically Radiative and Slip Effects on MHD Heat and Mass Transfer Flow of Maxwell Nanofluid across an Inclined Surface

Published: October 2023

In both the laboratory and the manufacturing setting, nanofluids play a crucial role in improving the thermal properties of pure fluids. The heat and mass transmission of an incompressible upper-convected Maxwell fluid along a stretched sheet in the midst of heat radiation, chemical changes, and suction is investigated. The nonlinear slip condition for the Maxwell fluid is put into account herein. The diffusion model for mass and heat transfer introduced by Cattaneo and Christov is incorporated in the modelling process. The partial differential equations that regulate the system are reduced into a more fundamental form via similarity transformations. Mathematica's NDSolve technique is implemented to do a numerical treatment of the dimensionless equations once they have been translated. The upsides of this strategy lie in its ability to automatically track errors and select the best algorithm. Assessments are taken of velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number, among others. Graphs are used to quickly illustrate and clarify how various material qualities affect the flow of mass and heat transmission. Thermal relaxation and chemical reaction parameters minimize temperature and concentration fields. It is observed that greater Maxwell parameters implies a rise in the intensity of skin friction, whereas a spike in the slip parameter generates a decrease. Nusselt and Sherwood numbers diminish with Maxwell parameter.

Nanofluids are of great importance to researchers as they have significant uses industrially due to their high heat transfer rates. Recently, a new class of nanofluid, ‘‘hybrid nanofluid” is being used to further enhance the heat transfer rate. This new model in 3D is employed to examine the impact of magnetic field, joule heating, rotation parameter, Hall current, with nonlinear thermal radiation, on a rotating hybrid Fe3O4/Al2O3 nanofluid over-stretched plate in the presence of chemical reaction is the focus of this research. Using similarity transformations, the controlling partial differential equations are turned into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. For that system of equations, the shooting method is used to generate numerical solutions. The impact of various entry parameters on transversal and longitudinal velocities, temperature, heat flow and surface shear stress are studied numerically and graphically. A good correlation between the earlier studies is obtained in specific cases showing the convergence criteria of the present procedure. Further, the physical significance of the contributive parameters is presented through graphs and tables. The observation shows that the particle concentration for the hybrid nanofluid augments the fluid velocity. Moreover, the inclusion of dissipative heat favors enhancing the fluid temperature for the involvement of the particle concentration.

O planejamento educacional é a base para ações dentro do ambiente escolar. Diante dos avanços tecnológicos constantes, ele precisa acompanhar as novas tendências e metodologias, sempre visando a aprendizagem significativa do estudante. Desta forma, este artigo examina as tendências contemporâneas em planejamento educacional, com um foco especial em abordagens inovadoras para promoção de atividades contextualizadas, considerando a evolução da educação escolar e as mudanças sociais, tecnológicas, pedagógicas e suas implicações. Mediante pesquisa bibliográfica qualitativa de cunho exploratório, visou-se analisar a real função de se planejar diante das teorias e práticas mais recentes em planejamento educacional. Verificou-se que o planejamento possui três etapas relevantes: objetivos, metodologia e avaliação e, estas etapas, por exemplo, podem ser realizadas por meio da avaliação formativa ao longo do processo. Para além, os professores necessitam estar atualizados frente às novas metodologias a fim de contemplar os objetivos educacionais diante do contexto que o cerca dentro de sala de aula.
