Da colaboração à gestão por resultados na educação do Ceará
Authors: Ramos Jeannette Filomeno Pouchain , Costa Anderson Gonçalves , Camarão Virna do Carmo
Published: March 2023

Este artigo analisa o regime de colaboração na educação do Estado do Ceará como política que consolida a gestão por resultados (GPR). Entendemos o regime de colaboração como princípio relacional sob a ótica das dimensões política, legal e socioeconômica. O estudo, de natureza qualitativa, aborda a realidade em uma investigação in loco nas instituições, revisa literatura e analisa documentos e informações coletadas em entrevistas semiestruturadas com técnicos e gestores das coordenadorias regionais, das secretarias municipais e da secretaria estadual. A pesquisa conclui que há indícios de colaboração horizontal, no fomento departicipação tutelada e articulação com os poderes locais, seguida da verticalização com a instrumentalização de normas e diretrizes, que se consolidam com a coordenação política do estado na gestão da alfabetização, junto aos municípios e às escolas, e na responsabilização destes quanto aos resultados, vinculados à premiação e política fiscal. Observou-se que os sucessivos governos mantêm uma política de continuidade com o propósito de implementar a GPR na educação e o regime de colaboração constitui um pressuposto para tal.
Alternância de poder, federalismo e políticas culturais:
Authors: Pozzer Márcio Rogério Olivato
Published: March 2023

Este ensaio realiza uma reflexão acerca de como as políticas culturais argentinas e brasileiras se inserem nos modelos federalistas dos respectivos países, dando ênfase à institucionalização das políticas e à alternância de poder, mais especificamente à retomada da agenda neoliberal com as eleições de Maurício Macri e Jair Bolsonaro, que buscou desconstruir uma perspectiva de coordenação intergovernamental que vinha sendo desenvolvida a partir de 2003 com os governos dos Kirchner, na Argentina, e do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), no Brasil. Para tanto, fez-se uma revisão bibliográfica, dando destaque às variáveis sócio-históricas e políticas, bem como da gênese da institucionalização das políticas culturais. Assim, a partir da identificação dos marcos políticos e institucionais, que no caso das políticas culturais estão diretamente ligados aos Ministérios da Cultura da Argentina e do Brasil ou seus equivalentes político-administrativos, avançou-se na compreensão das posições dos governos centrais nos processos de coordenação ou desarticulação das políticas culturais. As políticas culturais argentinas e brasileiras ainda sofrem com a baixa institucionalidade. Essa não é uma especificidade das políticas culturais, porém, tais políticas sofrem de uma aguda fragilidade institucional que as coloca em destaque em relação a outras políticas sociais. No entanto, diferentemente da Argentina, em termos de políticas culturais, o Brasil buscou avançar na constituição de sistemas, valorizando as relações baseadas no republicanismo, enquanto a Argentina investiu na relação direta entre governos com identidade política semelhante. Mesmo assim, o período que se seguiu a esses governos atrasou ou estagnou os poucos avanços institucionais nas políticas culturais.
Stochastic resonance and first passage time for excitable system exposed to underdamped medium
Authors: Duki Solomon Fekade , Taye Mesfin
Published: March 2023

Noise induced Brownian dynamics in underdamped medium is studied numerically to understand the firing time of excitable systems. By considering Brownian particles that move in underdamped medium, we study how the first arrival time behaves for different parameters of the model. We study the first arrival time for both single particle as well as the first arrival time of one particle out a system that has _N_ particles. The present study helps to understand the intercellular calcium dynamics in cardiac tissue at the level of a single microdomain and at a tissue level (ensemble of microdomains). In the presence of time varying signal, we study how signal to noise ratio (SNR) depends on the model parameters. It is showed that the SNR exhibits a pronounced peak at a particular noise strength. The fact that the SNR is amplified as the number of micro domains (_N_) increase shows that the weak periodic signal plays a decisive role in controlling the noise induced dynamics of excitable systems which may also shed light on how to control the abnormal calcium release in a cardiac tissue.
Creating Sustainable and Outstanding Institutional Culture in Engineering Education in India to Develop High-Performing Institutions
Authors: Vedhathiri Thanikachalam
Published: March 2023

Most Indian engineering institutions have not updated their institutional culture even though many disruptive technologies have impacted engineering education. This has affected the development of the faculty members, modernization of outcome-based engineering programs, attributes of the graduates, human capital development, contributions to knowledge capital growth, and institutional development. The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP2020) has envisaged the growth, development of many innovative programs, and award of degrees by the colleges in 2030 without any affiliation to the universities. The global competition in planning innovative products, design, product development, testing, improving, manufacturing, and maintenance has created many challenges in the institutional culture and institutional development. All of these, center around facilitating, mentoring, decentralizing, and empowering high-performing faculty members. This research work provides a set of guidelines like a belief in faculty responsibility, autonomy, and scaffolding the high-performing faculty teams, a culture of continual training, interdisciplinary and industry-relevant courses, and programs, a challenging research and development environment, mentoring the faculty members to bring excellence in human resource development, open communication, cooperation and collaboration, and superb leadership to change the obstructive culture to high enabling culture of the engineering institutions which will facilitate the growth of institutions through interdisciplinary and high-performing faculty teams. This approach largely enables to create outstanding institutional culture in engineering institutions.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: The present therapeutic line of osteoarthritis of knee is primarily symptomatic, therefore the need to discover treatment modality which tackles the disease process in itself. This study was done with an intention to examine the efficacy of platelet rich plasma in primary osteoarthritis of knee.

Materials and Methods: This prospective investigation was done on 100 knees in 100 individuals having early primary osteoarthritis of the knee. Three injections of platelet rich plasma were administered at four weeks interval and the outcome was analyzed by WOMAC and VAS score at pre injection, 3 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks. Ahlback’s grading was done at pre-injection and at 6 months.

Results: Most of the cases in our series were in the age category of 50-65 years with female predominance (73%), 51% cases had grade 2 disease and the remaining had grade 1 involvement. Improvement in WOMAC score parameters started after 3 weeks with continuing improvement at successive follow-ups. WOMAC score parameters (pain, stiffness, physical function and total score) at pre injection were 14.22, 5.05, 36.41and 55.8 and at 6 months follow up were 5.92, 2.07, 16.78 and 24.11 correspondingly. Similar improvement was noted in VAS score with pre injection score of 7.12 and final score of 2.96. The average WOMAC score was less for grade 1 as compared to grade 2 (43.42 vs 60.41); (43.63 vs 61.36). Improvement was reported in 86% of patients however the level varied from good to slight improvement. There was no problem associated to the treatment in our series.

Conclusion: The initial data show that PRP is an effective therapeutic strategy in early grades of primary Osteoarthritis of knee. However, further strong evidence Research is required to check for the long-term impacts and to corroborate the conclusions of this investigation.

Population and conservation strategies for the Chinese crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) in China
Authors: Huang C. M.
Published: March 2023

The Chinese crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) is an unusual anguimorph lizard found mainly in China. Transect surveys estimate a total wild population of about 950 individuals in China. This is a dramatic decrease compared with previous surveys. At present, there are only eight areas of distribution. No Chinese crocodile lizards have been found in four former areas for several years. Investigations have demonstrated that poaching has contributed directly to the population decline. Habitat destruction, and in particular water flow, is the second most important factor. Mining, small scale dam construction, electro-fishing and poisoning of fish in the stream also contribute to population decline. Therefore, educating local people, punishing illegal poaching, and strengthening scientific research are urgent.

Media sosial adalah medium interaksi yang sangat berpengaruh di era â€˜internet bendaâ€™ ini. Kesan sesuatu hantaran di media sosial diketahui umum adalah tidak menentu. Dalam konteks pekerja, mencatat dan membuat hantaran di media sosial boleh mengundang implikasi terhadap perhubungan pekerjaan. Artikel ini mengupas kedudukan hantaran pada media sosial oleh pekerja dari perspektif undang-undang pekerjaan. Perkaitan antara kuasa prerogatif pengurusan, hak privasi pekerja serta tanggungjawab majikan dan pekerja untuk saling mempercayai dan menyakini dianalisis untuk menilai sejauh mana impak tingkah laku pekerja di media sosial kepada kontrak pekerjaan. Objektif berkenaan dicapai dengan menggunakan metodologi doktrinal dan pendekatan analisa yang kritis dan perbandingan. Hasilnya adalah menemukan aspek-aspek yang boleh dipertimbangkan oleh majikan dan pekerja bagi menguruskan penggunaan media sosial supaya tidak menjejaskan perhubungan pekerjaan. Memandangkan tiada penyelidikan khusus tentang isu ini dalam konteks Malaysia, ia berupaya menambah nilai kepada korpus ilmu sedia ada terutamanya dalam perundangan buruh di Malaysia. ABSTRACT Social media is a prevalent medium of communication in the era of â€˜internet of thingsâ€™. The implication of a posting on social media is widely known as uncertain. In the perspective of an employee, writing and posting on social media could implicate the employment relationship. This article scrutinises the legal position of employeeâ€™s posting on social media. The relationship between management prerogative power, employeesâ€™ privacy right and mutual trust and confidence obligation of employer and employee is analysed to evaluate the extent employeesâ€™ behavior on the social media may affect employment contract. The objective is realised by applying doctrinal methodology and critical analysis and comparison approaches. The consequence is to find aspects that can be considered by employer and employee in managing the use of social media so that it will not risk the employment relationship. Considering in Malaysia that there is no specific research on this issue, the research is to add value to the existing corpus of labour law knowledge.

Published: March 2023

While most borders in Latin America were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the dynamics of mobility and immobility in the region did not stop. In this extreme context, there was a growing need to understand how the pandemic impacted migrant and refugee populations, as well as the long-lasting effects of measures implemented to mitigate its effects. With many migrants facing exacerbated conditions of vulnerability and with new working modalities affecting all members of society, especially those who were key respondents to protect migrants in the first year of the pandemic, key ethical questions emerged about how, when and where, should research be conducted. This paper reflects on the ethical challenges we faced – such as interviewees' research fatigue, negotiation of access, researcher’s positionality and the strategies to create rapport – and the methodological decisions we made in the context of a regional project that conducted online interviews with governmental and non-governmental actors working with migrants between June and August 2020.
Open-source software for repositories
Authors: Vasilyeva N. V.
Published: March 2023

The modern science depends in many ways on efficient provision of fast, quality access to published research findings. The universities have been developing their institutional repositories that are mostly based on open-source software used in over 66% repositories, OpenDOAR reports. For their digital archives, these organizations choose between various possibilities: purchasing licenses, developing their own or using the open-source software. The author analyzes the use of software in institutional repositories of the world leading universities and compares these trends to that of foreign and national institutions. She focuses on the open-source software as that standing up the transition to the open science concept. The structure of 210 university repositories was reviewed. It was found that the open-source software was the most popular with Russian universities while their platforms selection was rather limited as compared to that of foreign universities. Further, unlike foreign universities, Russian higher educational institutions almost never develop their own repositories though have strong potential to do so.

Timely immunisation is important to protect children from communicable diseases. However, immunisation uptake in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children under the age of two years is often lower than in non-Indigenous children. This contributes to the gap in health outcomes between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and non-Indigenous children. We have tested the effectiveness of short message service (SMS) reminders in improving timeliness of childhood immunisation in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants in regional Queensland, Australia. Reminders were sent to parents of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, at five immunisation age milestones: six weeks, four months, six months, 12 months, and 18 months. There was a significant improvement in the proportion of children vaccinated on-time (within 30 days of the due date), compared to an earlier age cohort, at all milestones except 12 months. The absolute risk difference (ARD) of on-time vaccination between the two cohorts ranged between 4.7% (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.1–8.2%, at six weeks) and 12.9% (95% CI: 7.4–18.5%, at six months). The likelihood of on-time vaccination (rate ratio, RR) in the intervention group compared to the control group ranged from 1.05 (95% CI: 1.01–1.10, at six weeks) to 1.31 (95% CI: 1.14–1.50, at 18 months). SMS reminders were associated with an improvement in immunisation timeliness in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander infants at all age milestones measured except 12 months.

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan lasten ja tutkijoiden välisiä sukupolvisuhteita tutkimustoiminnassa. Tutkimusmenetelmänä ja tutkijoihin kohdistuvana pedagogisena menetelmänä käytetään kollaboratiivista autoetnografiaa. Artikkelissa hyödynnetään Pierre Bourdieun episteemisen refleksiivisyyden ajatusta eli tutkijan ja tutkittavien suhteiden ja asemien kriittistä arviointia. Lisäksi tutkimustoiminnassa toteutuvia sukupolvisuhteita tarkastellaan eksistentiaalisen, episteemisen ja juridis-eettisen ulottuvuuden avulla. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu tutkijoiden kirjoittamista autoetnografisista teksteistä sekä lapsille suunnattujen työpajojen litteraateista. Analyysi osoittaa, miten tärkeää on hahmottaa lasten tieto eksistentiaalisesti arvokkaana ja ymmärtää samalla, mikä merkitys tutkijuuteen liittyvillä vastuilla ja eettisellä harkinnalla on. Lapset toimivat tutkijoiden luomissa puitteissa, mutta tutkijat ovat lapsista olennaisesti riippuvaisia, sillä muutoin he eivät kykene tekemään tutkimusta lapsista tai lasten kanssa. Tutkijoiden sukupolvinen asema, ammatillinen tieto ja historia aktualisoituvat etenkin nopeita eettisiä päätöksiä vaativissa tutkimustilanteissa. Analyysi korostaa tilannekohtaisen eettisen tarkastelun tärkeyttä.
Leibnizin reflektiivistä ajattelua koskeva näkemys ja sen yhteys oppimiseen ja kasvatukseen
Authors: Helenius Visa
Published: March 2023

Reflektiivinen ajattelu liittyy olennaisesti oppimisen ja kasvatuksen teorioihin sekä käytäntöihin. Sitä koskevalla teoretisoinnilla on polveileva historia. Saksalaisrationalisti Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnizin (1646–1716) filosofia sisältää reflektiivistä ajattelua koskevan näkemyksen. Selvennän tässä artikkelissa kyseistä näkemystä ja sen tulkintaa, kritiikkiä sekä yhteyttä hänen oppimis- ja kasvatuskäsityksiinsä. Johtopäätökset ovat seuraavat: ensimmäiseksi Leibnizin reflektiivistä ajattelua koskeva näkemys on yksityiskohtainen mutta ongelmallinen, toiseksi se liittyy muun muassa kokemusperäisen ja järkiperäisen tiedon sekä minäkäsityksen ja moraalisen toiminnan syntymiseen, ja kolmanneksi sillä on tärkeä yhteys Leibnizin oppimis- sekä kasvatuskäsityksiin siten, että reflektiivinen ajattelu mahdollistaa oppimisen ja kasvatuksen.

Dijital/sanal ve teknolojik gelişmeler, birey ve toplumların yaşamında oldukça önemli ve çok boyutlu değişimlere yol açmıştır. Bu değişim aynı zamanda gündelik hayatı çok boyutlu olarak sanal evrene aktarmanın ve eklemlemenin zorunlu bir sonucu olarak kendini göstermiştir. Diğer bir deyişle sanal yaşamın çok boyutlu kuşatması ve hegemonyası, bireysel ve toplumsal hayatta bir gerçeklik olarak kendini inşa etmektedir. Bu sanal gerçeklik son dönemde özellikle Metaverse’e dair içerik ve kurgularla birlikte zamanla çeşitlenmiş ve zenginleşmiş görünmektedir. Gerçekliği artırılmış (AR: Augmented Reality) sanal içerikler barındıran Metaverse (öte evren/evren ötesi), kullanıcılarına etkileyici ve cezbedici üç boyutlu arayüz ve avatarlarla sanal dünyalar kurma imkânı sunan bir dijital platformdur. Gündelik yaşamın neredeyse her alanının avatarlar aracılığıyla kurgusal olarak tasarlandığı Metaverse, bir anlamda oyun/eğlence, haz, imaj ve tüketim odaklı bir paralel evren sanallaştırmasıdır. Metaverse platformları, dinî ve toplumsal açıdan birtakım imkânlar içerdiği gibi riskleri de barındırmaktadır. Bu çerçevede çalışma, gündelik birçok faaliyet veya aktivitenin gerçekleştirildiği sanal bir alan olarak “Metaverse’te dinî ve toplumsal tezahürler nelerdir?” sorusunu anlamaya ve anlamlandırmaya girişmektedir.

Asthma poses an increased risk for cardiovascular disorders, suggesting that allergy, which is an underlying process in asthma, causes atypical functioning of organs other than lungs. In a previous study in a guinea pig asthma model, we concluded that allergic sensitization increased aorta contractile responses to 5-HT. To further characterize these responses, here we explored the role of the 5-HT2 receptors family. We found that TCB-2 (5-HT2A agonist) and WAY161503 (5-HT2C agonist) induced aorta contractions resembling those elicited by 5-HT but less intense (~43 % and ~25 %, respectively). In these experiments, aortas from sensitized guinea pigs showed increased contractions to TCB-2, but not to WAY161503. In turn, MDL 100907 (5-HT2A antagonist) and RS-102221 (5-HT2C antagonist) caused a notably and a mild reduction of the 5-HT-induced contractions, respectively, with no differences seen between sensitized and non-sensitized tissues. BW723C86 (5-HT2B agonist) did not induce contractile responses and RS-127445 (5-HT2B antagonist) did not modify the contractile responses to 5-HT. In non-sensitized aortas, the pattern of protein expression of receptors was 5HT2B>5-HT2A=5-HT2C, which did not change in sensitized animals. In conclusion, we found that allergic sensitization increased the aorta contractile responses to 5-HT, partly mediated by enhanced responses of 5-HT2A receptors, which was unrelated to changes in the expression of these receptors.

Confronting Core Issues: A Critical Test of Attitude Polarization
Authors: Velez Yamil , Liu Patrick
Published: March 2023

A long-standing debate in political psychology considers whether individuals update their beliefs and attitudes in the direction of evidence or grow more confident in their convictions when confronted with counter-attitudinal arguments. Though recent studies have shown that instances of the latter tendency, which scholars have termed attitude polarization and belief backfire, are rarely observed in settings involving hot-button issues or viral misinformation, we know surprisingly little about how participants respond to information targeting deeply held attitudes, a key condition for triggering attitude polarization. We develop a tailored experimental design that measures participants' positions regarding their most important issues and randomly assigns them to different mixtures of personalized pro-attitudinal and counter-attitudinal information using the large language model GPT-3. We fail to recover evidence consistent with attitude polarization across three studies. We conclude by discussing implications for the study of political cognition and the measurement of attitudes.
Ethical Obligations of Global Justice in the Midst of Global Pandemics
Authors: Hicks Sarah , Gurtler Paula
Published: March 2023

This paper considers the obligation higher income countries have to lower and middle income countries during a global pandemic. Further considers which reforms are needed to the global supply-chain of medical resources. The short-comings in distribution and medical infrastructure have exacerbated the health crisis in developing countries. Global justice demands radical redistribution of medical resources in order to prevent mass casualties. This is argued first by highlighting that the COVID-19 pandemic should be acknowledged as an issue of global justice, secondly, higher income countries ought to account for distribution inequity as a matter of rectifying past injustices, and thirdly argue for reform in distribution while considering the vaccine rollout as a prime example. We aim to show how the differences from country to country in response capabilities are a result of the economic foundation colonialism established and a direct result of cyclical poverty, which wealthy countries perpetuate to this day.
Analyzing The Reasons Behind Suhento Liauw's Rejection On Theological Seminary Accreditation
Authors: Harefa Julitinus , Hia Meniati , Wibowo Daniel Ari
Published: March 2023

Since the enactment of accreditation regulations within the Theological College, there have been Christian groups that have rejected the Theological College Accreditation on theological grounds or the principles of belief held. This Christian sect has established Theological Colleges in Jakarta and West Kalimantan and even holds graduations and issues diplomas and gives academic degrees to graduates, even though they have never submitted an accreditation form to BAN-PT (National Accreditation Board-University). Then how is the existence of this Theological College in the eyes of law and education in Indonesia and the theological response based on the beliefs of the Christian faith? To answer this question, in writing this article the author conducts library research to describe the logical consequences for the Theological College Institutions that do not heed the accreditation activities.
Da psicologia à literatura: o saber psicológico nas narrativas russas
Authors: Moreira João Gabriel Ribeiro Nunes , Nascimento Rodrigo Barbosa
Published: March 2023

O saber psicológico começou a ser estruturado enquanto tal a partir das descobertas de Wundt em Leipzig, inaugurando um novo entendimento do homem; com elas as questões psíquicas passaram a serem vistas com o olhar teórico experimental. Diante disso, a psique humana passou de um saber relacionado à “filosofia” para um saber fundamentado - em grande parte - em noções científicas. Dessa forma, essa pesquisa pautada na relação entre psicologia e literatura - em especial a russa, orientada a partir das figuras de Dostoievski e Tolstoi - visa recuperar um tipo de conhecimento específico acerca do homem - desejos, motivações e comportamentos – que, aparentemente, foi deixado de lado ao longo da história da psicologia. Para a construção deste trabalho, utilizamos do método de revisão narrativa da literatura (RNL), apropriada para descrever e discutir o desenvolvimento de um determinado tema, seja do ponto de vista teórico ou contextual. As pesquisas foram feitas nas bases de dados Pubmed e BvS, havendo uma prevalência dos artigos a respeito de Dostoievski. Ao final da pesquisa foi possível analisar as intercalações entre a fortuna crítica de Dostoievski e de Tolstoi, mesmo com as limitações de artigos, um pelo viés polifônico dos personagens e o outro pela angústia das personagens que se encontram entre a barbárie e a civilização

Transmissão psíquica e apropriação da herança: um olhar psicanalítico
Authors: Gomes Vinícius Romagnolli Rodrigues
Published: March 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender a transmissão psíquica entre gerações em meio ao cenário social e cultural contemporâneo, caracterizado como um tempo de aceleração e excesso de estímulos onde o mais importante é a fruição do momento presente, o que leva a um desinteresse pelo passado e pela história. Diante desse estado das coisas, assistimos a dificuldades na capacidade de historicizar, o que afeta o processo de transmissão psíquica e dificulta a construção de uma narrativa que dê sustentação simbólica para os sujeitos empreenderem sua jornada. Para a psicanálise, nos constituímos na dimensão intersubjetiva que nos situa como herdeiros de disposições psíquicas transmitidas pela cultura e pelos nossos pais. Temos como hipótese que o cenário contemporâneo leva a uma transformação da transmissão psíquica, cujos efeitos podem ser percebidos na falha da experiência compartilhada, declínio das narrativas e erosão da função simbólica que estaria configurando uma geração do esquecimento.

Published: March 2023

A Organização Internacional do Trabalho, considerou a docência uma das profissões mais estressantes, devido às expectativas familiares, alunos com mau comportamento, ausência da participação nas decisões e excesso de trabalho são considerados fatores desencadeadores desse estresse. Os professores possuem uma propensão maior ao desenvolvimento de doenças psicológicas relacionadas ao ambiente de trabalho, tal como a Síndrome de Burnout, que ganhou espaço recentemente e foi considerada como uma patologia ocupacional. Esta vem causando diversas consequências à saúde e à produtividade dos professores, levando até mesmo a degradação do ambiente de trabalho e o baixo desemprenho profissional. Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi evidenciar a importância da atuação do psicólogo na prevenção e no tratamento da síndrome de Burnout em professores. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão de literatura na abordagem qualitativa, realizada por meio de artigos publicados nas bases de dados Scielo - Scientific Electronic Library Online, Lume, Google Acadêmicos, Periódicos CAPES e Pepsic – Periódicos Eletrônicos em Psicologia, publicados nos últimos cinco anos. Os resultados da pesquisa indicaram que no presente existem muitas discussões acerca do tema, no entanto na literatura são escassos materiais que evidenciam intervenções a fim do tratamento da Síndrome de Burnout em professores. Mas conclui-se que na psicodinâmica do trabalho, por meio da escuta e acolhimento individuais e coletivos, pode-se proporcionar ao trabalhador ressignifique seu sofrimento no ambiente de trabalho, sendo uma estratégia na prevenção e na promoção da saúde laboral dos professores.
Experimental analysis and numerical fatigue life prediction of 3D-Printed osteosynthesis plates

The trend towards patient-specific medical orthopedic prostheses has led to an increased use of 3D-printed surgical implants made of Ti6Al4V. However, uncertainties arise due to varying printing parameters, particularly with regards to the fatigue limit. This necessitates time-consuming and costly experimental validation before they can be safely used on patients. To address this issue, this study aimed to employ a stress-life fatigue analysis approach coupled with a finite element (FE) simulation to estimate numerically the fatigue limit and location of failure for 3D-printed surgical osteosynthesis plates and to validate the results experimentally. However, predicting the fatigue life of 3D components is not a new concept and has previously been implemented in the medical device field, though without experimental validation. Then, an experimental fatigue test was conducted using a proposed modification to the staircase method introduced in ISO 12107. Additionally, a FE model was developed to estimate the stress cycles on the plate. The stress versus number of cycles to failure curve (S-N) obtained from the minimum mechanical properties of 3D-printed Ti6AI4V alloy according to ASTM F3001-14 to predict the fatigue limit. The comparison between experimental results and fatigue numerical predictions showed very good agreement. It was found that a linear elastic FE model was sufficient to estimate the fatigue limit, while an elastic-plastic model led to an accurate prediction throughout the implant’s cyclic life. The proposed method has great potential for enhancing patient-specific implant designs without the need for time-consuming and costly experimental regulatory testing.
City Information Models (CIMs) as precursors for Urban Digital Twins (UDTs): A case study of Lancaster
Authors: Cureton Paul , Hartley Elliot
Published: March 2023

City Information Models (CIMs) present several research challenges and are arguably pre-cursors for a roadmap to the transition to Urban or City Digital Twins (UDTs/CDTs) and broader smart city drives. In a period of digital transformation in urban planning, CIMs are primarily designed to intersect and merge urban GIS/BIM in what is termed GeoBIM. CIMs are often cloud-based geospatial services and data repositories with one-way data connections, which differ from integrated and high-fidelity cyber-physical complex systems for digital twins (DTs). However, there is a lack of precision in terms of defining CIMs and UDTs, and this paper examines four broad sociotechnical research challenges regarding the progress of CIMs toward full UDTs/CDTs, including (1) technical training for adoption, (2) acquisition strategies for aerial data and remote sensing, (3) data licensing types and system management, and (4) stakeholder engagement with CIM platforms. These four research challenges and digital transformation are discussed by using back-casting futuring methods, establishing a framework for CIMs through co-designed workshops, and explored in the Lancaster City Information Model (LCIM) prototype. The LCIM, as a resulting case study, was developed for architects, planners, and stakeholders to engage with 3D urban models and urban analytics (view sheds, masterplan scenarios, and solar potentials of buildings) from 2019 to 2021 to address digital inequality in planning and data fragmentation. The framework and prototype results resulted in the most extensive 3D open urban dataset published in the UK, consisting of a baseline of 1″+/− buildings and infrastructure and 7.5 cm aerial imagery and a framework for developing transitions from CIMs to UDTs. The delivery of this case and the resulting published dataset highlights the essential research needed regarding definitions and precision around terminology and systems between CIMs and UDTs and four applied challenges in digital transformation and future socio-technical relationships.

Design code-based “life-safety” requirements for structural earthquake and tsunami design offer reasonable guidelines to construct buildings that will remain standing during a tsunami or seismic event. Much less consideration has been given to assessing structural resilience during sequential earthquake and tsunami multi-hazard events. Such events present a series of extreme loading scenarios, where damage sustained during the earthquake influences structural performance during the subsequent inundation. Similar difficulties exist with respect to damage sustained during tropical events, as wind and fluid loading may vary with structural response or accumulated damage. To help ensure critical structures meet a “life-safety” level of performance during such multi-hazard events, analysis software capable of simulating simultaneous structural and fluid dynamics must be developed. To address this gap in understanding of non-linear fluid-structure-interaction (FSI), an open-source tool (FOAMySees) was developed for simulation of tsunami and wave impact analysis of post-earthquake non-linear structural response of buildings. The tool is comprised of the Open-source Field Operation And Manipulation software package and OpenSeesPy, a Python 3 interpreter of OpenSees. The programs are coupled via preCICE, a coupling library for partitioned multi-physics simulation. FOAMySees has been written to work in a Linux OS environment with HPC clusters in mind. The FOAMySees program offers a partitioned conventional-serial-staggered coupling scheme, with optional implicit iteration techniques to ensure a strongly-coupled two-way FSI solution. While FOAMySees was developed specifically for tsunami-resilience analysis, it may be utilized for other FSI applications with ease. With this coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) program, tsunami and earthquake simulations may be run sequentially or simultaneously, allowing for the evaluation of non-linear structural response to multi-hazard excitation.
Therapeutic potential of small extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells for spinal cord and nerve injury

Published: March 2023

Neural diseases such as compressive, congenital, and traumatic injuries have diverse consequences, from benign mild sequelae to severe life-threatening conditions with associated losses of motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. Several approaches have been adopted to control neuroinflammatory cascades. Traditionally, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been regarded as therapeutic agents, as they possess growth factors and cytokines with potential anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects. However, several animal model studies have reported conflicting outcomes, and therefore, the role of MSCs as a regenerative source for the treatment of neural pathologies remains debatable. In addition, issues such as heterogeneity and ethical issues limited their use as therapeutic agents. To overcome the obstacles associated with the use of traditional agents, we explored the therapeutic potentials of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which contain nucleic acids, functional proteins, and bioactive lipids, and play crucial roles in immune response regulation, inflammation reduction, and cell-to-cell communication. EVs may surpass MSCs in size issue, immunogenicity, and response to the host environment. However, a comprehensive review is required on the therapeutic potential of EVs for the treatment of neural pathologies. In this review, we discuss the action mechanism of EVs, their potential for treating neural pathologies, and future perspectives regarding their clinical applications.
