Analysis of Factors Affecting MSME in Using Fintech Lending as Alternative Financing: Technology Acceptance Model Approach
Authors: Rahadian Arif , Thamrin Hakiman
Published: May 2023

This study aims to determine factors impacting the intention of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in using fintech lending applications as an optional source of business financing using the technology acceptance model approach. The population in this study were MSMEs in Indonesia. Samples were taken by purposive sampling with the criteria of having used a licensed fintech lending application for business financing. The samples used were 171 samples. This study used structural equation model (SEM) as the analysis technique. The results of this study showed that Perceived Ease of Use had an impact on Perceived Usefulness but had no effect on Attitude Toward Using. The factor Perceived Usefulness had an effect on Attitude Toward Using, and Attitude Toward Using influences Behavioral Intention to Use. Fintech companies can play a role by providing education and empowerment to foster understanding of digital literacy for MSME stakeholders. The governments need to develop policy frameworks that can balance innovation and risk mitigation.
Precariousness of Higher Education Teaching Work in Brazilian Private HEIs
Authors: Gemelli Catia , Closs Lisiane
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze, through the Private Higher Education Teaching Work Precariousness Scale (EPTDESP), teaching work in private Brazilian higher education institutions (HEIs), focusing on its precarization. In this exploratory research, a quantitative survey study was conducted with 607 private HEIs professors from the South and Southeast regions of Brazil. Analysis included descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and hypothesis tests. The results corroborated recent discussions that show the intense process of precariousness suffered by private HEIs professors in Brazil. By the hypothesis tests, it was confirmed that the type of employment bond significantly affects the perception of the degree of precariousness in these HEIs, and that the degree of precariousness significantly affects the interest of the professor in entering the teaching career in public HEIs.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT Thermography proves to be a new concept in measuring the thermogenesis of biological systems, a valuable method for confirming clinical diagnosis discarding subjective analysis and personal criteria. The result of the thermographic evaluation is the subject of qualitative and quantitative analyses. This study aimed to identify the thermal profile of the lower extremities of individuals diagnosed with cardiovascular and endocrine and metabolic diseases in the treatment of ulcerative wounds. A thermographic evaluation was performed from 19 dorsal, plantar, lateral, and medial extremities. In the qualitative analysis, images with and without a wound were divided according to diagnosis. After the division, a checklist was elaborated for the qualitative evaluation of the images. A total of 100 individuals (49 women and 51 men) participated, 65 with cardiovascular disease and 35 with endocrine and metabolic disease. There was a difference in the thermal pattern between the extremities in both diagnoses. The groups presented similar thermographic characteristics with signs of more radiation in the wounds, predominantly with red and white stains. More regions of interest with lesions on the medial foot, lateral, and medial ankle border were observed in individuals with chronic cardiovascular disease. Those with endocrine and metabolic disease presented more regions with lesions in the plantar (forefoot), dorsal, and medial ankle regions. The profile showed a discrepancy in the thermal pattern in the regions of interest of wounded and without wound extremities according to the diagnoses. Signs of wounds emitting high levels of radiation were similar in both groups, but the physiology of the disease and treatment differed.
Abionan e Exu se encontram no meio do caminho: o desdobramento do romance em trilogia, em Antonio Olinto
Authors: Novais Luís Henrique da Silva
Published: May 2023

RESUMO: Este trabalho investiga os mecanismos que, a partir de uma exigência interna da linguagem narrativa olintiana, operam o desdobramento do romance em trilogia, resultando na série literária Alma da África. Buscou-se, seguindo a trilha indicada por Pereira (2017) e Sodré (2017), aproximação teórico-crítica entre a operação da dobra (DELEUZE, 1991) e elementos específicos da mitologia e da cultura iorubá, fortemente presentes na trilogia. Foi analisado o modo como se estrutura a relação entre os três romances, partindo da função desempenhada pelo segundo livro, O rei de Keto (OLINTO, 2007b). Com isso, considerando particularmente as conexões entre a protagonista Abionan e o Orixá Exu (PRANDI, 2020; VERGER, 2018), identificou-se uma economia narrativa pautada pelos princípios de ambivalência, repetição e expansão responsáveis, entre outras coisas, pela afirmação de certa experiência existencial relativa à visão de mundo iorubá. Tais princípios, que as figuras de Exu e de Abionan condensam especialmente, promovem a força expansiva da linguagem narrativa olintiana. Tal efeito é verificado, por exemplo, na sintaxe da frase, em que a opção pela vírgula, em vez do ponto final, demanda continuidade; mas também na ampla sintaxe da trilogia, na qual sobretudo o segundo livro se comporta como romance-vírgula, abrindo espaço para a expansão da forma romanesca.
Hagiografia de uma cortesã: idílio, modo romanesco e legenda em Lucíola, de José de Alencar
Authors: Peres Marcos Flamínio
Published: May 2023

RESUMO Desde seu lançamento, Lucíola (1862) tem sido objeto de análises que abordam especialmente o paralelo com a A dama das camélias (Alexandre Dumas Filho) e Paulo e Virgínia (Bernardin de St-Pierre). Porém, raramente as questões ali presentes foram tratadas em seu conjunto, de modo a constituírem uma narrativa única e coerente. Pois, a despeito da linguagem erótica dos capítulos iniciais, as imagens idílicas ou “analogia da inocência” (Frye) acabam por sobrepor-se gradualmente na construção de cenas, diálogos e situações, assim como nas remissões à obra de St. Pierre, a Atala (Chateaubriand) e aos idílios de Teócrito. Assim, Lucíola sofre uma modificação crucial em seu mythos, que passa a orbitar em torno do conceito de idílio, não apenas enquanto locus amoenus (Curtius) mas sobretudo no sentido moderno atribuído a ele por Schiller (1800), segundo o qual trata-se de um vir-a-ser que só se realiza plenamente na chave da transcendência. Tal reorientação, da imanência à transcendência, aproxima-o de uma das chamadas “formas simples” (Jolles), que é a legenda cristã. Ao objetificar bem e mal, a legenda culmina na personagem qualitativamente superior do santo, cujos mythos se dão através do “trajeto que conduz à santidade” (Jolles). Discutindo tais premissas teóricas, o artigo propõe que a crítica a Lucíola revelou profunda incompreensão quanto ao papel discursivo de G.M., a digna senhora responsável por publicar as cartas a ela entregues por Paulo, o amante da heroína. G.M. compreende a construção do romance enquanto vita e exemplum - algo que o narrador não chega a entender.

Published: May 2023

Fluorescent polyurethanes (FPU) have been widely used in coatings, temperature recognition, fluorescent probes, and other fields because of their diverse structures and properties. Unfortunately, most FPUs are currently produced from petroleum-based products. Herein, a thermoplastic rosin-based naphthalene FPU was prepared by using the biobased ester of acrylic rosin and glycidyl methacrylate, polycaprolactone, 1, 5-dihydroxy naphthalene (1, 5-DN) and isophorone diisocyanate as the raw materials. The structure of FPU was confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, thermal performance analysis (TGA, DSC) and water contact angle analysis (WCA) showed that the addition of 1, 5-DN improved the thermal stability and hydrophobicity of FPU. More importantly, FPU exhibited good fluorescence performance in both liquid and solid states, and the fluorescence intensity increased with increasing temperature. Both aniline and trichloromethane showed effective fluorescence quenching for FPU. Therefore, FPU is a promising material for applications in temperature recognition and fluorescence probes.

Abstract: The Indian Higher Education (IHE) system has been critiqued consistently over quality concerns, resulting in several corrective measures being initiated by the policy makers, regulators, and the institutions. Consequently, progress has been observed in terms of improved outcomes on some parameters. One emergent trend in the IHE is increased focus on quantitative data by the accreditation and ranking agencies. This has spurred the sector into a competitive overdrive with institutions vying for rankings and awards. This has also resulted in malpractices, systemic erosion, and gamification of the system with long term repercussions. This paper argues against adopting purely quantitative measures for institutional assessment, suggesting measures which are holistic, broad-based, and better serve the needs of a country as diverse as India. Keywords: Indian Higher Education; Research and Development; Gamification
The way of future through voluntary selection
Authors: Omid Sadeghi Fathabadi
Published: May 2023

This article is a follow-up on the recent publication introducing the concept of “Voluntary Selection” which allows for engineering the phenotypic profile of a population by adopting the reproductive cells of donors rather than couples themselves. Foreseeing a genetically converging world through Voluntary Selection, and looking from a Middle Eastern and North African perspective, the article focuses on five major themes where improvements are necessary to allow for maintaining stability and achieving a minimum level of living standards despite matters such as different levels of access to environmental resources, global warming and depleting fossil fuel resources. These themes are namely the provision of evolutionary explanation for religions, women’s rights, generating wealth in the form of living atmospheres, distributed workload across society and distributed food production. The following discussions illustrate how by changing the way we look at the world, utilizing our available but neglected resources, dreaming, believing, and acting, we can solve some of the most fundamental global problems. The provided solutions are protective of individual freedoms, facilitate the convergence of lifestyles to a pleasant, practical, elegant, sustainable and modern model and protect the fabric of society as the foundation for higher-level achievements necessary for the maintenance and improvement of our living standards.
Nuclei isolation from human CNS samples using NUC201 isolation kit from Sigma-Aldrich for 10X single nuclei RNA sequencing v1
Authors: Seeker Luise , Jäkel Sarah , Williams Anna
Published: May 2023

Because retrieval of an unbiased group of viable cells from post-mortem human CNS is very challenging if not impossible to achieve, single nucleus RNA sequencing is often used as a very valuable alternative. However, nuclei isolation protocols deliver variable yields and nuclei quality. Here we share a reliable protocol using the Nuc201 kit by Sigma-Aldrich (NUC201-1KT) that delivers good quality nuclei for downstream single nuclear RNAseq profiling.

Biblical women's images as socio-cultural models of behavior in the Western European Middle Ages
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Kozar Kateryna
Published: May 2023

The article examines the biblical tradition of understanding women and their place in public relations. It is claimed that in the most detailed study of the biblical tradition, it does not carry the destructive power that was later given to it by theologians and philosophers. Researchers point out that every woman mentioned in the Scriptures is not accidental and symbolic. It is a model of God's action, the personification of the Kingdom of God. The theological tradition insists on equality between God's creations, but it is noted that it is possible only in the case of spiritual union with God. The possibility of women's realization in the world was limited to motherhood or monasticism. It is described that the glorification of humility before the will of the Lord was a sociocultural, religiously determined model of a woman's submission to an infinite number of rules created by moralists and preachers. The stories of three biblical women who had the most significant influence on the formation of medieval ideas about women in society are analyzed. That is, we are talking about the images of Eve and the Virgin Mary, which belong to the symbolic space of the ideal and were interconnected and balanced through the image of Mary Magdalene, which belongs to the real space of everyday life. The article argues that the image of Eve in contact with the devil and the image of Mary who destroyed the devil are two sides of the same coin. Thus, this ambivalence of female nature is a certain invariant that is inherent in androcentric culture as such.
Buddhism and the idea of human rights: Relationship or contradiction
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Marchenko Andrii
Published: May 2023

The peculiarities of the Buddhist approach to the understanding of human rights in the context of current challenges and discussions on this issue are analyzed; the potential of Buddhism in defending human rights has been clarified; the features of the relationship between Buddhism and the concept of human rights in the context of today's realities are considered. The emphasis is placed on the question of existence within the Buddhist worldview and the traditional value system a basis for understanding the dignity of a free human personality which must be respected and protected. It is established that the desire to eliminate suffering, to get rid of them can be seen as a point of contact between the content of Buddhist teachings and the idea of human rights, as a kind of bridge between the two positions; at the same time the language of human rights within the Buddhism consciously distances himself from the rhetoric of self-assertion in favor of rhetoric and practices of selfless compassion. It can be stressed that a Buddhist understanding of rights never opposes a human good to the good of other living beings in contrast to the anthropocentrism of Western liberal theories of human rights where man rises above the rest of the world. Buddhism faces the challenge of using the language and practice of human rights so that it does not contradict the dharma and the very spirit of Buddhist teaching and, on the other hand, it helps people to be free from suffering. In the context of clarifying the specifics of the relationship between the Buddhist value system and the concept of human rights it is important to avoid overemphasizing the universality of human rights and to find a kind of middle ground between these two positions. In the modern world to combat injustice in the countries of Buddhism it is necessary to use the potential of the Buddhist tradition and the practical achievements of human rights defenders in Western democracies.
Automated Subject Identification using the Universal Decimal Classification: The ANN Approach
Authors: Roy Aditi , Ghosh Saptarshi
Published: May 2023

Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) is a popular controlled vocabulary that is used to represent subjects of documents. Text categorization determines a text's category, as evident from the notation-text label format of the Universal Decimal Classification. With the help of machine learning techniques and the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), the present work aims to develop an end-user (library professional) based recommender system for automatically classifying documents using the UDC scheme. The proposed work is conceived for determining and constructing a complex class number using the syntax of Universal Decimal Classification (UDC). A corpus of documents classified with the UDC scheme is used as a training dataset. The classification of the documents is done with human mediation having proficiency in classificatory approaches. The BERT model and the KNIME software are used for the study. This study uses the classified dataset to fine-tune the pre-trained BERT model to construct the semi-automatic classification model. The results show that the model is constructed with high accuracy and Area Under Curve (AUC) value, although the prediction represented a low accuracy rate. This study reflected that if the model is explicitly trained by annotating each concept and if the full licensed version of UDC class numbers becomes available, there is a greater potency of developing an automated, freely faceted classification scheme for practical use.

Abstract. This study aims to analyze the area and distribution of land cover in the last 10 years in the Krueng Aceh and evaluate the alignment between the regional spatial plan (RTRW) and the land cover in the Krueng Aceh watershed. The results of the analysis were obtained through digital image processing derived from Landsat 7 ETM 2009 and Landsat 8 OLI 2020. This study shows that land cover in the form of primary forest has changed from 2009 to 2020, wherein 2009 primary forest cover had an area of 60,245.62 ha or 34.11% of the entire area while in 2020 it was reduced to 48,512.00 ha or 27.47% of the entire area. And Based on the results of the evaluation of the consistency of land closure conditions in the Krueng Aceh watershed against the Aceh Provincial RTRW, 98.40% of the area of the Krueng Aceh watershed obtained land cover consistent with the RTRW. But Based on the results of the Evaluation of the Consistency of Area Status in the Krueng Aceh River Basin against the Aceh Province RTRW, it was found that an area of 176,301.71 ha or equal to 99.99 % of the area of the Krueng Aceh River Basin, the status of the Area was consistent with the RTRW.

Protesta Social. Acto de Delincuencia o Síntoma de la Imposibilidad de la Paz en Colombia
Authors: Aguilera Torrado Armando
Published: May 2023

El presente artículo es un trabajo de reflexión cuyo objetivo central es hacer una lectura crítica a los abordajes que desde las ciencias sociales se han hecho al fenómeno de la violencia sociocultural en Colombia, de manera particular a la violencia asociada a la protesta social. El mismo se desarrolló desde las teorías que han aportado a la consolidación de la filosofía social y la psicología social, tales como: el psicoanálisis aplicado a fenómenos sociales, la fenomenológica de la percepción, la memoria colectiva, y la epistemología de la complejidad. En ese sentido el trabajo se nutre de las apuestas que explican lo social desde su doble vertiente: Desde lo específico, del caso por caso, donde lo subjetivo prima sobre lo objetivo. Lo estructural, lo sistémico y complejo del fenómeno. A partir de estas fuentes teóricas, el artículo reflexiona en torno a la pregunta por la génesis y naturaleza de las marchas y la violencia en las calles. Se interrogó entorno a si el vandalismo asociado a marchas, es un problema de delincuencia o por el contrario es un problema estructural de mala convivencia e imposibilidad de reconciliación nacional. Igualmente, el trabajo discutió sobre los efectos que ha traído para la consolidación de una paz estable y duradera, pensar la problemática de la violencia de una u otra forma. Entre los principales hallazgos del trabajo se ubicó el hecho de que la vivencia ininterrumpida de la violencia en la historia del país, recuerda que el capítulo del conflicto armado interno no se acerrado para los colombianos, que no se han sanado las heridas de la guerra y confrontación de tantos años. Que la violencia en el país no ha desaparecido, no ha cicatrizado; por el contrario, permanece perenne y mutante.

For over five thousand years, people in Asia and Africa have known about the health benefits of camel milk. Thus, it is used not only as a food source but also as a medicine. The similarities between camel milk and human milk have been scientifically proven. Camel milk is unique among ruminant milk because it is high in vitamins C and E and low in sugar and cholesterol. Still, it contains a wide variety of beneficial minerals (including sodium, potassium, iron, copper, zinc, and magnesium), besides being rich in several nutrients, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, serum albumin, lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, lysozyme and the hormone insulin. Because of these components, many medical professionals now recommend camel milk as a treatment for various human ailments. It has been demonstrated to be effective in treating gastrointestinal issues, Type 1 diabetes, and food allergies. As a bonus, camel milk has been utilized to cure autism, lower cholesterol, prevent psoriasis, heal inflammation, aid tuberculosis patients, boost the body's natural defences, and impede the spread of cancer cells. Those who have problems digesting lactose may still be able to tolerate it. Conversely, camel milk can also help reduce an excessively high bilirubin, globulin, and granulocyte count. Drinking camel milk does not affect the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, hemoglobin concentration, and leukocyte count. The proteins in camel milk have an adequate ratio of critical amino acids. Immunoglobulins, which fight disease, are contained inside, and their small size allows antigens to penetrate and boosts the immune system's efficacy. This article highlights the health benefits and medicinal uses of camel milk.

Milk and milk derivatives are widely consumed because of their high nutritional density. Donkey milk and milk products have been consumed since ancient times. The use of donkey milk in the human diet is gaining popularity. The abundance of antibacterial components and protective elements in donkey milk sets it apart from the milk of other animals. Like human milk, donkey milk has low fat, high lactose, and low casein/whey protein ratio. Donkey milk whey protein's anti-proliferative properties imply lung cancer treatment. Alpha-lactalbumin, a type of protein, has been found to have antiviral, anticancer, and anti-stress properties. Donkey milk, like human milk, includes a low amount of casein and a smaller quantity of beta-lactoglobulin than cow milk. Donkey milk is an alternative for newborns with cow milk protein allergy and lactose intolerance since it has a higher amount of lactose, improves palatability, and prevents allergies. Osteogenesis, arteriosclerosis therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, accelerated aging, and hypocholesterolemic diets are some areas where donkey milk is beneficial. Since it contains probiotic lactobacilli strains, fermented beverages can be made with donkey milk. Donkey milk moisturizes skin due to its high vitamin, mineral, and polyunsaturated fatty acid content. The chemical makeup and potential therapeutic benefits of donkey milk warrant additional research. This has led to a rise in interest in producing dairy goods derived from donkey milk. Donkey milk has been used to make cheese, ice cream, milk powder, and even some experimental useful fermented drinks. The present article summarises what we know about donkey milk's chemical makeup, biological functions, nutritional worth, and possible human health benefits.
Çukurova Koşullarında Iyi ve Konvansiyonel Tarım Uygulamalarının Yapıldığı Turunçgil Bahçelerinin Mineral Beslenme Yönünden Karşılaştırılması

Yoğun ve bilinçsiz gübre kullanımından kaynaklanan çevre kirliliğinin azaltılması, verim ve kalitede yaşanan düşüşleri önlemek ve üretimin ekonomik olarak sağlanması için, son yıllarda dengeli gübreleme/beslenme programlarını amaçlayan ve konvansiyonel tarıma alternatif olan iyi tarım uygulamaları öne çıkmaktadır. Bu amaçla, önemli turunçgil üretim alanlarından biri olan Adana’nın Karataş ilçesinde iyi tarım uygulamaları (İTU) ve konvansiyonel tarım uygulamalarının (KTU) yapıldığı 80 farklı turunçgil (portakal, limon ve mandarin) bahçesinden yaprak örnekleri alınmış, besin elementi analizleri gerçekleştirilerek mineral beslenme durumları karşılaştırmalı olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde ağaçların K bakımından büyük oranda yetersiz olduğu buna karşılık N,P, Ca ve Mg açısından önemli bir beslenme probleminin olmadığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca, yaprak örneklerindeki element konsantrasyonlarının KTU yapılan alanlarda kısmen daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaya konu olan alanlardan alınan yaprak örneklerindeki Fe ve Cu konsantrasyonlarının kritik konsantrasyon sınır değerlerine göre %100’ünün yeterli düzeyde ve üzerinde olduğu buna karşılık Zn konsantrasyonunun iki uygulamada da %85 oranında ve Mn konsantrasyonunun İTU yapılan bahçelerde %20, KTU yapılan bahçelerde %25 oranında kritik konsantrasyon sınır değerlerinden düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yaprak örneklerindeki ortalama mikro besin elementi sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde Fe, Zn, Cu ve Mn değerlerinin her iki uygulama bahçelerinde birbirine yakın olduğu ve uygulamalar arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, İTU yapılan alanlarda çiftçilerin gübreleme alışkanlıklarının değişmediği, bitkinin besin ihtiyacının toprak ve bitki analizlerine dayalı olarak belirlenerek uygulamaların buna göre yapılması gerektiği ve bunu teşvik eden uygulamaların sürdürülülebilirliğinin önemli olduğu anlaşılmıştır.

Cellulose-containing residue from agar production was incorporated as a filler into soy protein-based hydrogels and revalorized without further purification. Rheological assessment of these hydrogels was carried out in order to confirm their shear-thinning behavior and their suitability for 3D printing. It was observed that all hydrogels behaved as weak gels, which are suitable for 3D printing and have good printability and shape fidelity. The addition of cellulose did not cause chemical crosslinking but physical interactions, which led to morphological changes, thereby promoting hardness and shape recovery of the 3D-printed products. The hydrogel with the highest residue content (8 wt %) showed the highest value (78%) in shape recovery. Furthermore, the physicochemical characterization of these 3D-printed products revealed that although they have high swelling capacity, they preserve their integrity in wet conditions. These results suggested the potential of the 3D-printed products developed using residues without further purification to promote circular economy, increasing the efficiency in resources utilization.

With the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing, 3D-printed products have been widely used in medical fields, such as plastic surgery, orthopedics, dentistry, etc. In cardiovascular research, 3D-printed models are becoming more realistic in shape. However, from a biomechanical point of view, only a few studies have explored printable materials that can represent the properties of the human aorta. This study focuses on 3D-printed materials that might simulate the stiffness of human aortic tissue. First, the biomechanical properties of a healthy human aorta were defined and used as reference. The main objective of this study was to identify 3D printable materials that possess similar properties to the human aorta. Three synthetic materials, NinjaFlex (Fenner Inc., Manheim, USA), FilasticTM (Filastic Inc., Jardim Paulistano, Brazil), and RGD450+TangoPlus (Stratasys Ltd.©, Rehovot, Israel), were printed in different thicknesses. Uniaxial and biaxial tensile tests were performed to compute several biomechanical properties, such as thickness, stress, strain, and stiffness. We found that with the mixed material RGD450+TangoPlus, it was possible to achieve a similar stiffness to healthy human aorta. Moreover, the 50-shore-hardness RGD450+TangoPlus had similar thickness and stiffness to the human aorta.
Sport as a conditioning factor in the choice of the plasty to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament. Epidemiological survey and analysis of the current situation
Authors: Salvador Marín Jorge , Ayala Mejías Juan D.
Published: May 2023

Objective: To know the surgeon’s decision making on the choice of graft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery according to the sport practiced by the patient. Material and method: An online survey was conducted through the Spanish Society of Sports Traumatology (SETRADE) and the European Society for Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy (ESSKA). A descriptive analysis of the sample was performed, and an analysis of the main reason for the choice of plasty was carried out stratifying the sample into different groups. Results: 83 surgeons responded to the survey, 71 members of SETRADE and 12 of ESSKA. The mean number of ACL reconstruction performed per year per respondent was 56 (1-220). For 86.7% of the respondents, sport influenced the decision on the type of graft to be used, the main reason being the biomechanical properties of the plasty (49.4%). The mean agreement in the type of graft to be used in each sport studied was 58.29% (71.1%-38.6%). The highest concordance in the plasty of choice occurred in cycling, with respondents using hamstrings in 71.1% of cases. The sports with the least concordance were wrestling and skiing. There were no statistically significant differences in the reason for choosing plasty. Conclusions: The survey was conducted by a significant number of surgeons with experience in ACL surgery, with biomechanical properties being the main reason for choosing which graft to use. Most of them were influenced in this decision by the type of sport practiced. The authors recommend the handling of at least 2 plasties for primary ACL reconstructions and to individualize each case considering the type of sport in the selection of the graft.

The number of variables that influence the success of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is so high that an in-depth analysis of the problem can only be carried out through numerical tools. Once the diameter of the substitute plasty and the interference screw has been chosen for a given patient, one of the main concerns of the surgeon is to find the most suitable diameter of the tibial tunnel for its fixation. In this work, a finite element model was developed in order to simulate both the reconstruction and the subsequent rehabilitation of the ACL at its tibial insertion. For the simulation, the chosen tendon and screw diameters were 4 mm and 7 mm, respectively, while diameters of 7, 8, 9, and 10 mm were tested for the tibial tunnel. The parameters of the behavior models of the different materials (screw, bone and tendon) were obtained through experimental tests. The results obtained show that, as the diameter of the tunnel decreases, the compressive stress over the plasty will increase (theoretical objective of the fixation), but the deformation induced on the trabecular bone also increases, which can trigger its failure. For this reason, the maximum values of the interferential pressure must be limited to those strictly necessary to ensure that the reconstruction is properly done, that is, that it prevents the tendon from slipping in the tunnel during the rehabilitation process. The simulation of the rehabilitation process was done by pulling the already fixed tendon in the femoral direction in order to extract it. It was obtained that the most suitable diameter of the tibial tunnel for the chosen plasty-screw assembly is 8 mm, since it provides a suitable subjection without high values of deformation in trabecular bone, that is, no damage in this part of the bone.

Published: May 2023

Heat exchangers in absorption chillers are usually made of copper material. However, prob-lems of corrosion are usually encountered, especially in the solution heat exchanger. In this study a numerical investigation of the heat transfer effectiveness in a double pipe helical heat exchanger made from a thermally enhanced polymer material was conducted. The material consists of a Liquid crystal polymer (LCP), (Vectra A950) as the matrix material, while carbon fibre is the filler material. The resulting composite has a carbon fibre weight fraction of 74%. The heat exchanger was modelled as a counter flow solution heat exchanger to be used in a lithium bromide – water absorption chiller of 3 kW capacity. The numerical software ANSYS fluent (version 14.5) was used for the modelling and simulation. Thermal and mechanical properties of the thermally enhanced polymer were used in the modelling and simulation. The viscous laminar model was used, while employing a second order upwind solution method. Results indicate that the heat exchanger was able to perform the required duty by reducing the strong solution temperature from 90oC at inlet to 57oC at outlet, while increasing the weak solution temperature from 40oC at inlet to 67oC at outlet. The effectiveness of the heat ex-changer was 77.4%. Results were numerically compared to a corresponding heat exchanger of same geometry and flow conditions, made of copper. It was observed that the polymer heat exchanger attained 89.2% effectiveness of the copper heat exchanger.

The engine combustion products were measured and analyzed based on emissions of exhaust. Due to the utilization of a variety of fuels, such as petroleum diesel and bio-diesel in die-sel-generated engines, they emit pollution-insecure emissions. To explore this emission quan-tity, a numbers of experiments were conducted utilizing a single-cylinder engine, Land Curs-er six-cylinder, Mazda WL31 engine mechanical biodiesel vehicle and In-Line engine. The performance research was given for the data acquired from the Mazda WL31 four-cylinder engine. Landcom III gas analyzer was used to sense and record the exhaust gas emissions from the burning of diesel fuel, which was utilized for data analysis. Various gas discharges and their constituents were independently analyzed. The results of the test show that the harmful emissions of biodiesel fuel are much lower than the emissions of fuel made from mineral oil.

Образовательная среда часто выступает как мощный фактор риска развития негативных отклонений в состоянии здоровья детей, поскольку воздействие факторов риска школьнообусловленных болезней усугубляется постоянством влияния в течение всего периода обучения [4, 6, 7]. У современных школьников среди острой патологии преобладают частые острые респираторно-вирусные инфекции, некоторые инфекционные и паразитарные болезни, нарушения со стороны органов зрения и костно-мышечной системы, нарушения физического развития, патология со стороны желудочно-кишечного тракта. Сохраняется тенденция к замедлению темпов физического развития, значительному увеличению доли заболеваний с хроническим и рецидивирующим течением [1, 3, 4, 5].
