The thickness parameters that most empirical models use are generally defined by empirical relations related to ionogram characteristics. This is the case with the NeQuick model that uses an inflection point below the F2 layer peak to define a thickness parameter of the F2 bottomside of the electron density profile, which is named B2. This study is focused on the effects of geomagnetic storms on the thickness parameter B2. We selected three equinoctial storms, namely 17 March 2013, 2 October 2013 and 17 March 2015. To investigate the behavior of the B2 parameter before, during and after those events, we have analyzed variations of GNSS derived vertical TEC (VTEC) and maximum electron density (NmF2) obtained from manually scaled ionograms over 20 stations at middle and low latitudes of Asian, Euro-African and American longitude sectors. The results show two main kinds of responses after the onset of the geomagnetic events: a peak of B2 parameter prior to the increase in VTEC and NmF2 (in ~60% of the cases) and a fluctuation in B2 associated with a decrease in VTEC and NmF2 (~25% of the cases). The behavior observed has been related to the dominant factor acting after the CME shocks associated with positive and negative storm effects. Investigation into the time delay of the different measurements according to location showed that B2 reacts before NmF2 and VTEC after the onset of the storms in all the cases. The sensitivity shown by B2 during the studied storms might indicate that experimentally derived thickness parameter B2 could be incorporated into the empirical models such as NeQuick in order to adapt them to storm situations that represent extreme cases of ionospheric weather-like conditions.
Alignment-Free Wireless Charging of Smart Garments with Embroidered Coils
Authors: Chang Chin-Wei , Riehl Patrick , Lin Jenshan
Published: November 2021

Wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies have been adopted by many products. The capability of charging multiple devices and the design flexibility of charging coils make WPT a good solution for charging smart garments. The use of an embroidered receiver (RX) coil makes the smart garment more breathable and comfortable than using a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). In order to charge smart garments as part of normal daily routines, two types of wireless-charging systems operating at 400 kHz have been designed. The one-to-one hanger system is desired to have a constant charging current despite misalignment so that users do not need to pay much attention when they hang the garment. For the one-to-multiple-drawer system, the power delivery ability must not change with multiple garments. Additionally, the system should be able to charge folded garments in most of the folding scenarios. This paper analyses the two WPT systems for charging smart garments and provides design approaches to meet the abovementioned goals. The wireless-charging hanger is able to charge a smart garment over a coupling variance kmaxkmin=2 with only 21% charging current variation. The wireless-charging drawer is able to charge a smart garment with at least 20 mA under most folding scenarios and three garments with stable power delivery ability.
Digital Impedance Emulator for Battery Measurement System Calibration

Published: November 2021

Meaningful information on the internal state of a battery can be derived by measuring its impedance. Accordingly, battery management systems based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are now recognized as a feasible solutions for online battery control and diagnostic. Since the impedance of a battery is always changing along with its state of charge and aging effects, it is important to have a stable impedance reference in order to calibrate and test a battery management system. In this work we propose a programmable impedance emulator that in principle could be used for the calibration of any battery management system based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. A digital finite-impulse-response filter is implemented, whose frequency response is programmed so as to reproduce exactly the impedance of a real battery in the frequency domain. The whole design process of the filter is presented in detail. An analytical expression for the impedance of real battery in the frequency domain is derived from an equivalent circuit model. The model is validated both through numerical simulations and experimental tests. In particular, the filter is implemented on a low-cost microcontroller unit, and the emulated impedance is measured by means of a custom-made electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measuring system, and verified by using standard commercial bench instruments. Results on this prototype show the feasibility of using the proposed emulator as a fully controllable and low-cost reference for calibrating battery impedance measurement systems.

Published: November 2021

Perimeter detection systems detect intruders penetrating protected areas, but modern solutions require the combination of smart detectors, information networks and controlling software to reduce false alarms and extend detection range. The current solutions available to secure a perimeter (infrared and motion sensors, fiber optics, cameras, radar, among others) have several problems, such as sensitivity to weather conditions or the high failure alarm rate that forces the need for human supervision. The system exposed in this paper overcomes these problems by combining a perimeter security system based on CEMF (control of electromagnetic fields) sensing technology, a set of video cameras that remain powered off except when an event has been detected. An autonomous drone is also informed where the event has been initially detected. Then, it flies through computer vision to follow the intruder for as long as they remain within the perimeter. This paper covers a detailed view of how all three components cooperate in harmony to protect a perimeter effectively, without having to worry about false alarms, blinding due to weather conditions, clearance areas, or privacy issues. The system also provides extra information of where the intruder is or has been, at all times, no matter whether they have become mixed up with more people or not during the attack.
Characterization of Dielectric Oil with a Low-Cost CMOS Imaging Sensor and a New Electric Permittivity Matrix Using the 3D Cell Method
Authors: Monzón-Verona José Miguel , González-Domínguez Pablo Ignacio , García-Alonso Santiago , Vaswani Reboso Jenifer
Published: November 2021

In this paper, a new method for characterizing the dielectric breakdown voltage of dielectric oils is presented, based on the IEC 60156 international standard. In this standard, the effective value of the dielectric breakdown voltage is obtained, but information is not provided on the distribution of Kelvin forces an instant before the dynamic behavior of the arc begins or the state of the gases that are produced an instant after the moment of appearance of the electric arc in the oil. In this paper, the behavior of the oil before and after the appearance of the electric arc is characterized by combining a low-cost CMOS imaging sensor and a new matrix of electrical permittivity associated with the dielectric oil, using the 3D cell method. In this way, we also predict the electric field before and after the electric rupture. The error compared to the finite element method is less than 0.36%. In addition, a new method is proposed to measure the kinematic viscosity of dielectric oils. Using a low-cost imaging sensor, the distribution of bubbles is measured, together with their diameters and their rates of ascent after the electric arc occurs. This method is verified using ASTM standards and data provided by the oil manufacturer. The results of these tests can be used to prevent incipient failures and evaluate preventive maintenance processes such as transformer oil replacement or recovery.

Published: November 2021

In semi-arid ecoregions of temperate zones, focused snowmelt water infiltration in topographic depressions is a key, but imperfectly understood, groundwater recharge mechanism. Routine monitoring is precluded by the abundance of depressions. We have used remote-sensing data to construct mass balances and estimate volumes of temporary ponds in the Tambov area of Russia. First, small water bodies were automatically recognized in each of a time series of high-resolution Planet Labs images taken in April and May 2021 by object-oriented supervised classification. A training set of water pixels defined in one of the latest images using a small unmanned aerial vehicle enabled high-confidence predictions of water pixels in the earlier images (Cohen’s Κ = 0.99). A digital elevation model was used to estimate the ponds’ water volumes, which decreased with time following a negative exponential equation. The power of the exponent did not systematically depend on the pond size. With adjustment for estimates of daily Penman evaporation, function-based interpolation of the water bodies’ areas and volumes allowed calculation of daily infiltration into the depression beds. The infiltration was maximal (5–40 mm/day) at onset of spring and decreased with time during the study period. Use of the spatially variable infiltration rates improved steady-state shallow groundwater simulations.

In the subsystem of information and analytical support of the complex of diagnostic procedures, the central is the assessment of the effectiveness of rehabilitation based on the indicators of the electrocardiogram (ECG) and heart rate variability (HRV), control of the patient's condition using psychophysiological (PF) and psychological testing, the use of biological feedback (BF) to improve the efficiency of rehabilitation, as well as the use of PF testing for the implementation of BF. The purpose of the article is detailing the composition and functionality of a complex of diagnostic procedures for supporting rehabilitation processes in a pandemic. Results. The composition and functionality of the complex of diagnostic procedures are presented. It includes three components: first, an innovative technique for scaling electrocardiograms and heart rate variability (Universal Scoring System) with software and a miniature electrocardiograph (with the ability to use on-line mode). Secondly, the study of psychophysiological testing tools based on the software-hardware complex "Psykholot-1" with the prospect of its addition by means of Biological Feedback (BF). Thirdly, the analysis of existing means of BF therapy and their application for rehabilitation with the proposed method of rehabilitation based on BF using artificial intelligence tools that are being developed within the framework of this project. In the future, it is planned to monitor patients undergoing rehabilitation in order to develop new rules specially adapted for assessing and monitoring the current state of patients undergoing rehabilitation, as well as the effectiveness of BF for rehabilitation. To implement the BF, the Psykholot-1 complex should be used in a trainer mode with a visual presentation of PF tests to the patient in real time. Conclusions. Hardware and software systems of biomanagement must be present at every workplace of a doctor, psychologist, coach, teacher. They can not only help in the treatment of patients, but also can change motivation, mobilize personal resources, and this is what many of us lack today.

Authors: Omerović Naida , Vranić Edina
Published: November 2021

Conventional ophthalmic dosage forms, although being simple to apply and presenting great patients' compliance, display poorer drug bioavailability and retention time on the eye surface. To cope with these problems, one must formulate novel drug delivery systems, such as nanosystems, for ocular drug delivery. Different formulation methods of nanoparticles have been developed, but some of them, such as the supercritical fluid method, have not reached their full potential in ocular drug delivery. This article aims to present the possibilities of the supercritical fluid method when preparing nanosystems for ocular drug delivery. This method could be used more frequently and efficiently because it is environmentally friendly and produces nanoparticles of the desired physicochemical properties, which is especially important in ocular drug delivery considering its peculiarities. Modifications of the supercritical fluid method can be used when a drug has some specific properties, which is an additional benefit in ocular drug delivery.

From Lab to Field: Extending the Architectural Design Studio to Integrate Emerging Technologies
Authors:   KU Leuven Faculty of Architecture, Cannaerts Corneel
Published: November 2021

The architectural design studio, as a place for educating future practitioners, is faced with two necessary dissociations: the distance from practice and its futurity. While the responses in architectural education have been varied1, the question of how to integrate emerging technologies seems to further sharpen these dissociations. This paper discusses the MMlab and Fieldstation studio, two learning environments set up as extensions of the design studio aiming to question the impact of emerging technologies on architecture. These extensions are particular ways of responding to the dissociations between the design studio and practice and its futurity: through hands-on experimentation with emerging technologies and questioning their relevance for architectural practice and culture, and by exploring the impact of technologies on the environments in which we operate as architects, deliberately looking for places and sites where emerging technologies manifest themselves with a particular urgency. The argument builds on a number of design studios, workshops and elective courses, it discusses two case studies in detail and describes the shift from lab to field in terms of subject matter, spatial setting and pedagogical approach.
The Death of the Desk Crit

Published: November 2021

This paper describes three alternative architectural studio teaching models taught by the authors at the University of Minnesota and at Stanford University. The three models attempt to build independent and collaborative capacity in students and to emphasize iterative components of the design process. Collectively, the models reflect the authors’ shared conviction that studio education is quite pliable and available to a wide variety of changes in approach and methods.The three models discussed in this paper are the Harkness model, the Exchanges in the Thick Middle and Shifting Allegiances. The Harkness model was implemented and tested in early undergraduate studios at Stanford University. Exchanges in the Thick Middle and the Shifting Allegiances studios, studio pedagogy based in play frameworks of “movement, change, alternation, succession, association and separations” (Srivastava and Christenson 2018), have been tested at the University of Minnesota and North Dakota State University in both undergraduate and graduate studios. All three models are briefly introduced in this paper, followed by a description of the typical day and a typical review in the studios. The conclusions section briefly outlines the overlaps and differences in the three models.
Augmentations of the Real: A Critical Interrogation of the Relationship between the Actual, the Virtual and the Real
Authors:   University of Michigan, del Camp Matias , Manninger Sandra ,   University of Michigan
Published: November 2021

Augmentations of the Real presents itself as an occasion to critically interrogate the opportunities that Augmented Reality present for the discipline of architecture1. The problem was illuminated from different angles, reaching from aspects of the augmentation of spatial experiences through articulation and ornamentation, to aspects of AR as an aid in advanced construction methodologies. Special attention was given to the fact that these techniques seamlessly fuse aspects of symbolic culture with considerations of materialism. Augmentations of the Real is profoundly embedded in speculative territories. Moments of uncertainty collide with aspects of precision and control. The result is not an imitation of the former but rather a contemporary interpretation. The foundation can be discerned in the possibility to overlap various experience levels, which allows mining for potentialities in contemporary ornamentations. In this extent, Augmentations of the Real can be considered part of the discussion on Post Digital discourse in Architecture. An era in which computational tools are part of normal reality and other aspects of Digital Design are positioned center stage. Not the toolsets become the main actors, but the cultural agency produced by the toolsets.
Design of Sound and Place - Recent Studios
Authors:   University o f Waterloo, MacDonald Marie-Paul
Published: November 2021

Urban public spaces and their associated architecture should be capable of eliciting responses from all of the human senses, yet traditionally urban and architectural designers rely primarily on visual display to persuade the public of the qualities of new proposals. As it becomes more common to use a variety of media to depict and simulate proposed urban spaces, designers and teachers of design look for ways to sensitize emerging designers to the full spectrum of sensations that inform potential users of a public space. The design studios discussed in this paper bring together the issues of the design of the experience of visual and aural settings, in an era of podcasts and ear-buds.In order to address issues of sound and public space, the author selected examples from two architectural design studios that took place in 2016 and 2018. Undergraduate students composed their own programs and projects to take into account the aural as well as visual qualities associated with their design intentions and ambitions. The process began with a programming phase to designate performing and listening as interactions that constitute primary activities happening in the context of the proposed public built form and related urban space. The research continued with an exploration of the tectonics and materials of the projects. Preliminary field research located and mapped small centralized urban organizations related to the sonic: collectives and small businesses working, for example, in the areas of sound recording, radio and musical performance.
The Imaginative Space of Narrative
Authors:   University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Walker Moir-McClean Tracey
Published: November 2021

Narrative imagination creates a space of learning where contemporary and historic knowledge of designed place merge. This paperdiscusses how an instructor’s curation and narration of archival material can provoke design-students to imagine narratives and actively visualize processes humans use to construct, inhabit and adjust comfort in place. The concept of narrative imagination presented in this paper is informed by traditional narrative as Marie-Laure Ryan defines it her 2005 article, Narrative and the Split Condition of Digital Textuality: (The traditionalist school) “conceives narrative as an invariant core of meaning, a core that distinguishes narrative from other types of discourse, and gives it a trans-cultural, trans-historical, and trans-medial identity.”1 The work of Gerard Genette, Levi-Strauss, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Monica Fludernik, John Fiske, James Phelan, Henry Jenkins and others is also influential.2

As aves de Cassandra de Per Johns : uma ficcionalização bastarda
Authors: Tonus Leonardo
Published: November 2021

No contexto de transição democrática a questão sobre a memória coletiva ou individual ocupa um lugar de destaque dentro da produção cultural brasileira. Após um período de engajamentos políticos a literatura brasileira passa a interrogar o sujeito posicionando-o sob o signo de um mal-estar identitário, mediante as modalidades de “des-herança”. As figuras do órfão e do bastardo ocupam um lugar central neste novo paradigma que visa a repensar a forma como o indivíduo dialoga com as suas origens e com a sua herança cultural. Grande parte dos romances sobre imigração publicados durante esse período se enquadra nessa problemática a partir, nomeadamente, de uma dinâmica contraditória fundada, ao mesmo tempo, no consenso e no dissenso.

El presente trabajo parte del objetivo central de estudiar la relación del género de la historieta con la Guerra civil y la posguerra en España, aspecto que nos llevará a analizar cuestiones de la representación de la historia a través de este medio. Para ello, profundizaremos dentro de los estudios referidos a la hibridez genérica y el mestizaje en la literatura en las relaciones con la historieta y otras manifestaciones visuales como el cine ficcional y documental. Teniendo como base la trascendencia de la obra del historietista Carlos Giménez dentro de este contexto que describimos y a la amplitud de su obra referida a la Guerra civil y la posguerra, sostenemos que la trayectoria de este autor funciona como un antecedente primigenio en torno a la recuperación de la memoria de los episodios traumáticos del pasado, con sus primeros trabajos dentro del contexto de la Transición política en España y ya en pleno siglo XXI, sus últimas obras se acoplan dentro del llamado y finalmente impuesto boom de los estudios sobre la memoria, palpables en multiplicidad de discursos y lenguajes. Los diferentes capítulos girarán en torno a parte de su producción: España una, grande y libre; Paracuellos; Barrio y 36-39 Malos tiempos.

A következő generáció mesterséges intelligenciájának már úgy kell kölcsönhatásba lépnie a felhasználókkal, hogy meggyőzzék őket abban, hogy képesek megérteni az emberi elméket, beleértve az érzelmeket is. Ehhez mesterséges érzelmi intelligenciára van szükség, amely képes a társadalmi érzelmi interakciókban megfelelő, hihető viselkedésre. A tanulmány az ilyen típusú mesterséges intelligenciák lehetséges katonai hasznosításáról szól.
Hogyan látják a menekültek a balkáni bejutást és a saját helyzetüket?
Authors: Novák András
Published: November 2021

Az elmúlt hat évben az illegális migráció első és talán legfontosabb útvonala a Balkánon át vezetett. 2015 és 2020 között a szerzőnek a munkája kapcsán rengeteg személyes találkozásban volt része, háromszáz menekültet pedig meg is interjúvolt utazásaik körülményeiről. Számos olyan kérdést tett fel, amelyek megválaszolásával talán közelebb juthatunk a migrációs válság megoldásához. Jelen dolgozatában röviden összefoglalja az újkori migráció kialakulását és a balkáni útvonal létrejöttét, ezután pedig ismerteti az általa készített felmérés eredményét.
ROBOTIC COLORECTAL SURGERY USING SENHANCE® ROBOTIC PLATFORM: REPORT OF 81 CASE
Authors: Samalavičius Narimantas Evaldas , Janušonis Vinsas
Published: November 2021

Purpose: the aim of the study was to prospectively eva­luate patients who underwent colorectal surgery using Senhance® robotic platform in our center.

Methods: over a period of from November 2018 to Au­gust 2021 and since the adoption of Senhance® robotic surgery, 81 robotic colorectal procedures were performed. We performed the analysis of prospectively collected data. Perioperative, intraoperative and short-term pos­toperative data was assessed.

Results: From 81 patient who underwent colorectal re­section using Senhance® robotic platform, 41 were fe­male and 40 male, age range 23-92 years, on an average 62 years. Length of hospital stay as 3 to 48 days, on an average 7,4 days. Sixty-eight patients (83,9%) patients underwent operations for colorectal cancer (29 colon and 39 rectal), and the remaining thirteen patients were operated for benign diseases. The average operating time during the first 25 procedures was 3 hours and 38 minu­tes, ranging from 2 hours and 5 minutes to 6 hours and 20 minutes. During the last 25 procedures it was on an average 2 hours and 45 minutes, ranging from 1 hour and 20 minutes to 5 hours and 10 minutes. Amongst 68 patients with colorectal cancer, 16 (19,7%) were stage I, 16 (19,7%) stage II, 34 (41,9%) stage III and two (2,5%) were stage IV colorectal cancers. 39 (48,2%) operations were performed on the colon and 42 (51,8%) were diffe­rent type of rectal surgeries. There were three (3.7%) conversions to open surgery, one of which was due to intraoperative complication – bleeding. 9 (11.1%) pos­toperative complications were recorded, of which three (3,7%) had to undergo interventions under general ana­esthetic. No postoperative deaths occurred.

Conclusions: Our experience allows to conclude that colorectal surgery using the new Senhance® robotic plat­form is safe and feasible. Additional studies are man­datory to delineate the exact role of this type of robotic surgery in surgery of the colon and rectum.

COVID-19 infekcijai būdingas platus klinikinės išraiškos spektras. Trombozinės komplikacijos veninėje sistemoje – dažniausios sergant COVID-19 liga, tačiau arterinėje sistemoje jos kelia didelę galūnių amputacijos riziką ir didina mirštamumą. Straipsnyje pristatomas COVID-19 ligos sukeltas ūminės galūnės išemijos klinikinis atvejis su galūnės amputacija ir letalia baigtimi, aptariami šios būklės išsivystymo, diagnostikos ir gydymo ypatumai. Straipsnyje apžvelgiama kitų autorių patirtis, gydant CO­VID-19 liga sergančius pacientus, aptariami šios infek­cijos paveiktame organizme vykstantys patofiziologiniai mechanizmai, sukeliantys kraujo krešėjimo, sisteminio uždegiminio atsako, imuninės sistemos pakitimus ir trombozines komplikacijas.

Išvados. Ilgalaikis sisteminio heparino vartojimas gali pagerinti chirurginio gydymo efektyvumą, galūnių iš­saugojimą ir sumažinti mirštamumą. Siekiant sumažinti trombozines komplikacijas stacionare gydomiems ser­gantiesiems vidutine ir sunkia COVID-19 ligos forma, rekomenduojama skirti tromboprofilaktinį gydymą mažos molekulinės masės ar nefrakcionuotu heparinu.
KRŪTIES KARCINOMOS METASTAZĖ ŠVIESIALĄSTELINĖJE INKSTO LĄSTELIŲ KARCINOMOJE: KLINIKINIS ATVEJIS
Authors: Rudoj Ilja
Published: November 2021

Navikų metastazavimas į kitus navikus (tumor-to-tumor metastasis /TTM) − labai retas fenomenas. Šiame straips­nyje pristatomas krūties karcinomos metastazavimo į šviesialąstelinę inksto ląstelių karcinomą atvejis. 69 metų pacientei, daugiau nei 10 metų sergančiai krūties karci­noma, įtartas ligos progresavimas į inkstus. Ligos židi­niui pašalinti atlikta nefrektomija. Atliekant patologijos tyrimą, inkste nustatyta 4 cm skersmens šviesialąstelinė inksto ląstelių karcinoma, kurioje buvo aptikta 2,9 mm krūties karcinomos metastazė. Krūties karcinoma la­bai retai metastazuoja į inkstus, literatūroje aprašyta tik 15 tokių atvejų. Krūties karcinomos metastazės į inkstų ląstelių karcinomą yra labiausiai paplitęs naviko metas­tazių į kitus navikus variantas. Literatūroje aprašyti 9 panašūs atvejai.

Straipsnio tikslas − pristatyti retą patologinės diagnos­tikos atvejį, parodžiusį, jog esant dauginiams navikų ži­diniams, būtina atlikti jų histologinį ištyrimą. Sinchro­ninių ir metachroninių navikų ir metastazių atpažinimas daro įtaką pacientų gydymui ir prognozei. Naviko me­tastazavimo į kitą naviką fenomeno mokslinis tyrimas gali suteikti naujos informacijos apie navikų biologiją, padėti kurti naujus diagnostikos, gydymo ir prevencijos metodus.
