Published: April 2024

Resumo A assistência aos diabéticos em Portugal esteve umbilicalmente ligada à fundação da Associação Protetora dos Diabéticos Pobres em 1926, a qual teve um papel determinante na estruturação da diabetologia portuguesa. O objetivo do artigo é demonstrar de que forma a associação contribuiu para a estruturação de um modelo de assistência aos diabéticos em Portugal, escorada nos princípios da diabetologia moderna na primeira metade do século XX. Primeiro explicaremos como a instituição se organizou em termos funcionais e clínicos atendendo às políticas assistenciais do período do Estado Novo em Portugal. Posteriormente mostraremos como estava organizado o modelo de assistência, que incluía o tratamento e a educação dos diabéticos pobres.
Infection of guppies (Poecilia reticulata) with the Asian fish tapeworm Schyzocotyle acheilognathi in an urban stream in Brazil
Authors: Assis Jordana Costa Alves de , Pinto Hudson Alves
Published: April 2024

Abstract Schyzocotyle acheilognathi is a fish tapeworm native to Asia but has been reported as an alien species on practically all other continents. Its invasive potential is due to its low host specificity and high adaptability to different environments, and its spread to new areas can result in economic and ecological impacts. Studies reporting this species in South America are still scarce, indicating the need to monitor its dispersion to new areas. Herein, tapeworms found in guppies, Poecilia reticulata, from an urban stream located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in April 2021 were subjected to morphological and molecular characterization. As a result, 5/13 (38.5%) of the P. reticulata specimens evaluated were infected with intestinal tapeworms. It was verified a mean intensity of infection of 7.8 (1-25) and a mean abundance of infection of 3 (0-25). The morphology of the cestodes obtained was compatible with that of S. acheilognathi. Moreover, genetic analysis based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (Cox-1) revealed 97.89-99.77% similarity to isolates of this species from different localities. The possibility that S. acheilognathi is expanding to new regions of South America is discussed.

OPTIMIZATION OF MICRO HEAT SINK WITH REPETITIVE PATTERN OF OBSTACLES FOR ELECTRONIC COOLING APPLICATIONS
Authors: Ronge Digvijay , Pawar Prashant
Published: April 2024

Micro heat sinks (MHS) are becoming integral part of microelectronics nowadays because of their ability to cool the tiny components which generate high heat flux. In this study, an electronic chip with a high heat flux of 100 W/cm2 is cooled with the help of an MHS device which has repetitive patterns of obstacles of various shapes in the flow of cooling medium. Numerical modelling of all MHSs were performed using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver and the pattern, which gives better thermohydraulic performance, was selected for optimization. A parametric study was performed with various obstacle sizes, distances between obstacles, and flow rates of cooling medium for maximum temperature of chip and pressure drop. Regression analysis was carried out with response surface method (RSM) between these three design variables and two objective functions, viz. thermal resistance (Rth) and pumping power (Pp). A multi-objective optimization of the MHS was performed using genetic algorithm (GA) and Pareto-optimal solutions were obtained. An optimal design was fabricated and the cooling experiment was carried out under optimal flow conditions. The repetitive pattern of obstacles increases the conjugate heat transfer area and helps in improving thermal performance.

Published: April 2024

This study investigates the flow of non-Newtonian Oldroyd-B and Jeffrey-Williamson ternary-hybrid nanofluids
along a stretching sheet through a porous medium with a magnetic field. The nanofluid comprises titanium
oxide, aluminum oxide, and silver dispersed in water. The effects of local thermal nonequilibrium conditions are
also considered. The mathematical model for this physical problem consists of a set of nonlinear partial differential
equations with boundary conditions, which are solved numerically using MATLAB. The study analyzes the heat
transfer properties and flow features under different flow parameters, and the results are presented in tabular form
for the Nusselt number of the ternary-hybrid nanofluid and solid, the skin friction coefficient, and the Sherwood
number. The numerical examination illustrates the impact of various governing factors on velocity, temperature, and
concentration, and the findings are discussed in detail. It is concluded that Jeffrey-Williamson fluid exhibits lower
skin friction, Nusselt, and Sherwood numbers than Oldroyd-B fluid, whereas the maximum value is observed for
ternary nanofluids. On the other hand, the base fluid shows the lowest skin friction, Nusselt, and Sherwood numbers
among all types of nanofluids.
Shell analysis by different methods of dynamic relaxation
Authors: Estiri Hossien , Baghban Amir
Published: April 2024

Shell analysis is a complex process. So far, many equations and theories have been proposed. With the increasing processing power of computers, numerical and approximate solutions were developed. The dynamic relaxation scheme is one of these methods. This procedure is an explicit technique for solving simultaneous equations. The fictitious mass and damping are added to the system of static structural equations in the dynamic relaxation technique to obtain a fictitious dynamic system. In this paper, 12 well-known dynamic relaxation processes were used for the linear analysis of shells. It is found that so far, the ability of many solutions of dynamic relaxation in the linear analysis of shells has not been shown. In each approach, the mass, damping and time step matrices are obtained based on the researchers’ work. Twelve samples are analysed. Most of these are examples of well-known benchmarks in non-linear analysis. The number of iterations and the analysis time gives the score of each technique. Then, the final rank of each method was obtained. Numerical solutions show that minimising the residual energy was the best process for linear shell analysis. Also, minimising the error of displacement, Zhang, Qiang and the power iteration methods behaved very similarly to each other.
Torsional vibration of tapered pile including circumferential support of surrounding soil
Authors: Li Zhenya , He Xianbin , Zhao Chiheng , Xi Yuqian , Zhang Cun
Published: April 2024

The tapered pile is usually divided into finite segments along the vertical direction due to its variable cross-section when investigating its torsional dynamic characteristics. However, an annular projection would be formed at the contact surface of the adjacent pile segments due to the difference in radius, through which the surrounding soil will apply the circumferential support on the pile segment. In this study, the Voigt model is adopted to model the circumferential support of the surrounding soil acting on the annular projection. On this basis, an amended impedance function transfer method is established combined with the circumferential stress equilibrium equations and circumferential displacement continuity conditions at the contact surface of the adjacent pile segments. The shear complex stiffness transfer method is employed to consider the construction disturbance during pile installation. Then, an improved analytical solution for the torsional vibration of the tapered pile considering the circumferential support of the surrounding soil is established by solving the equations for the soil and pile. Based on the solution, the torsional vibration of the tapered pile is investigated and the influence of the circumferential support of the surrounding soil is revealed under different pile parameters and construction disturbance conditions.

Published: April 2024

This research presents a case study of one class’s reflections on how they redesigned their classroom to suit the diverse needs of the teacher and learners, and how learners continue to adapt their learning space to better suit their individual needs. The findings of this paper illuminate how learners value agency and choice in their classrooms, something which can be achieved by offering them various work surfaces and spaces to complete learning activities. Learners suggested that flexible learning environments enabled them to choose where and how to complete their work, but also enabled them to position themselves in social environments that suit their learning needs. This work provides further context and insight into the implementation of the new Curriculum for Wales from September 2022 onwards, as well as the wider education system-level reforms currently taking place in Wales.

A review of Helen Thomas, ed. Architecture in Islamic Countries: Selections from the Catalogue for the Second International Exhibition of Architecture Venice, 1982/83. Zürich: gta Verlag, 2022, 120 pages, 55 illus. ISBN 978-3-85676-436-4. Gta Verlag’s 2022 reissue of the 1982–83 Venice Biennale Architecture in Islamic Countries catalogue is a timely invitation to reevaluate its history. This review assesses both the new catalogue’s original content and the newly commissioned essays, highlighting criticisms of Pier Paolo Porteghesi’s curatorial approach, primarily driven by a postmodernist methodology rather than a decolonization commitment. Its significance notwithstanding, the new catalogue replicates some of the original’s limitations in thoroughly engaging with the Islamic world’s architectural cultures during the 1980s, reflecting ongoing challenges in integrating these histories into Western-dominated architectural discourse.
Walt Whitman's Tomb
Authors: Mullins Maire
Published: April 2024

In letters and conversations with friends and acquaintances, Whitman's ideas about his "burial house" gradually took shape over the four years prior to his death in March 1892. The completion of Whitman's tomb represented the culmination of a complicated series of decisions. While the location of Whitman's tomb, its design, and its cost are topics that have received various critical and biographical interpretations, this essay includes recently uncovered materials that provide a clearer understanding of the process that unfolded in the years prior to Whitman's death regarding his tomb.

How Eyes and Brain See Color: Definition of Color, Literature Review with Bibliometric Analysis, and Inquiry Learning Strategy for Teaching Color Changes to Student with Mild Intelligence Barriers
Authors: Juhanaini J. , Bela Muhamad Rafi Wildan A Tandu , Rizqita Alya Jilan
Published: April 2024

The study aims to investigate how the eyes and brain see color. We added information regarding the definition of color and a literature review regarding current theories and research trends in color, including how light comes to an object and its reflection onto the eyes and brain, making the brain interpret the object. Also, we considered the concept and the implementation of inquiry learning strategies in learning activities to recognize color changes from primary, secondary, to tertiary color. To support our study, we employed bibliometric analysis, helping us to find out the current studies in implementing inquiry learning strategies, specifically in recognizing color and its changes in education. The concept of color changes was delivered to children with mild intellectual disabilities. The results showed that the teaching concept of how eyes and brain see color as well as learning activities to recognize color changes for children with mild intellectual disabilities is still rare. Learning activities can be implemented if the learning process is carried out appropriately, confirmed by the learning outcomes. This study can provide information for researchers and educators in carrying out learning activities to recognize color changes in children with intellectual disabilities through inquiry learning strategies.
Differentiated Integration in the EU Regarding the Migration Crisis: Disputes Between the Member States
Authors: Ökten Sipahioğlu Buket
Published: April 2024

The European Union (EU) has been challenged by several crises lately. In addition to Brexit, the Euro crisis, and the migration crisis; global issues such as the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian attack on Ukraine affected the EU. The migration crisis, on the one hand, differs from the above-mentioned crises with one remarkable feature. The member states have no real consensus about forming a common migration policy. Besides, for geographic reasons, some member states put much more burden on immigrants. Agreeing on immigration becomes impossible for the border countries on the migration route and also transit countries. The paper argues that, unlike the other crises of the EU, the migration crisis reinforces EU integration in such a way that disputes between member states prevent the EU from making institutional changes about the issue. The study results assume that the other above-mentioned crises, on the other hand, stimulated institutional change throughout the EU. In light of this information, this study evaluates, using a method of relevant literature review and comparing the arguments of the researchers, how the migration issue became a subject of dispute between member states by evaluating the 2015 crisis.

PROBLEMATIC ISSUES OF CIRCULATION OF HUNTING FIREARMS IN UKRAINE: WAYS TO IMPROVE REGULATORY REGULATION
Authors:   Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Petz D.M.
Published: April 2024

The article considers the problematic issues of circulation in the country of rifled hunting weapons as the only type of rifled firearms allowed for possession and storage at the place of residence of all categories of citizens of Ukraine who have reached a certain age and have no criminal record or medical contraindications. The normative documents which, in the absence of the corresponding Law, regulate the order of circulation of civilian firearms in the state are analyzed. Forensic features of hunting firearms are formulated and it is concluded that a significant number of samples of weapons sold on the territory of Ukraine as hunting weapons do not correspond to them. Citing specific examples from his own expert practice, the author argues that due to the lack of effective legal regulation of arms trafficking in the state, in fact, it is impossible to define a clear line between hunting weapons that are allowed to possess and store at the owner’s residence and other weapons (combat, sports, multi-purpose, self-defense, etc.), the civil circulation of which is prohibited or restricted in Ukraine. Based on the experimental shooting, it is proved that some samples of registered hunting firearms intended for firing with 9x21 IMI pistol cartridges do not provide guaranteed damage to animals and birds during hunting due to low rates of fire. It is concluded that the current standards governing the requirements for rifled firearms and ammunition are imperfect and contain technical and logical inconsistencies with other regulations, and therefore need to be revised. The article also proposes ways to improve the regulatory framework for the circulation of rifled hunting firearms in the country in compliance with the requirements of legislation and policy documents on the adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to the legislation of the European Union.

Authors:   National Academy of Internal Affairs, Kiev, Ukraine, Hribov M.L. , Chervinskyi V.V. ,   National Academy of Internal Affairs, Kiev, Ukraine
Published: April 2024

Due to the significant burden on the bodies of pre-trial investigation and the prosecutor’s office, criminal proceedings serious or especially serious offences with victims are not always investigated effectively. As a result, the rights and legitimate interests of the victims not being protected. However, it is a generally accepted convention that the priority for investigators and prosecutors is the proving a criminal suspect’s or accused’s guilt. Restoration of violated rights of victims is a secondary task assigned to the persons who have suffered physical, material and moral damage by committing a criminal offence. Therefore, the issues of providing professional legal assistance to victims in criminal proceedings are important today. The purpose of the article is to define the concept and reveal the content of representation by the victim’s lawyer in criminal proceedings, to outline the circle of problems that arise in this case and to make proposals for solution. The study reported that based on the analysis of legislation and the practice of its application a theoretical definition of representation of the victim in criminal proceedings are formulated. The purpose and tasks of this activity are determined, and its characteristics are outlined. The problems of legal regulation that reduce the effectiveness representation of the victim in criminal proceedings are identified. The proposals to improve the legislation are made. Representation of the victim in criminal proceedings is defined as a type of lawyer’s activity, which consists in providing the victim of a criminal offense with professional legal assistance to ensure his rights and legitimate interests at the stages of pre-trial investigation and court proceedings, as well as during procedural actions that can be carried out before the start of pre-trial proceedings investigation. The insufficiently high efficiency of the institution of representation of the victim in criminal proceedings is caused by the shortcomings of legal regulation, which must be corrected, among other things, by: normalizing the mandatory immediate involvement of a lawyer for the representation of the victim (including with public funds) in proceedings regarding especially serious offences and crimes of any severity, if the consequences are the death of a person or damage to health, which has signs of serious bodily injury, or bodily injury of medium severity; establishment of the duty of the investigator to immediately explain to the victim his rights and obligations; granting the victim and his representative equal rights with the parties to the criminal proceedings regarding the possibility of involving an expert to conduct an examination and the initiative of temporary access to things and documents.

Published: April 2024

The article discusses the issue of ballistic reconstruction of a shot depending on the situational circumstances of the use of firearms. The algorithm for determining the place of the shot, the angle of encounter and the line of approach based on gunshot damage, the angle of incidence and the azimuthal angle at the point of encounter of the projectile with an obstacle is highlighted. Forensic recommendations and possibilities of using the device for ballistic reconstruction of the shot, when solving expert tasks to establish the situational circumstances of the shot, are formulated. The design of the device and the materials used for its manufacture are described in detail. New methods of ballistic reconstruction of projectile movement are proposed, using as initial data the signs of gunshot injuries to the human body. The expediency of using the device to reconstruct the movement of a fired projectile even after a change in the situation at the scene of the incident or after the restoration of damaged objects is substantiated. Attention is focused on the condition of limited application of the imaging method. Systematized the most significant factors that affect the trajectory of the bullet after breaking through an obstacle, including: angle of encounter of the projectile with the obstacle, speed of the projectile, properties of the obstacle, structural features of the projectile. It has been proven that the azimuth angle and the angle of incidence are important for fixing in the spatial coordinate system the line of approach of the projectile to determine the possible place of the shot.

Published: April 2024

The transition of renewable energy has become an interesting issue and a worldwide concern that is frequently discussed. Solar panels are regarded to have the most potential in tropical areas like Indonesia. However, weather and sunlight intensity have a substantial impact on the amounts of electricity generated by solar panels. Therefore, a battery which functions as a backup supply is required. Lead acid batteries are used in numerous applications. The performance of lead-acid battery is commonly influenced by temperature and charging time, which makes it vulnerable to overcharging. Multistage charge methods, namely Constant Current-Constant Voltage (CC-CV), are used to extend battery life, reduce charging time, and avoid the risk of overcharging. Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is used to adjust charging current and voltage on the battery based on the setpoint. Based on the CC-CV charging system simulation results, a constant current value can be obtained when the CC condition is 4.5 A, and a transition to the CV condition occurs when the voltage value on the battery reaches 14.4 V. When the battery reaches its maximum capacity, the current is reduced to 3% of the battery’s capacity. The rate of fully charged current triggers the relay to turn on, to ensure that the charging process has been completed.

Background: Double-faced urethroplasty offers improved outcomes for the management of complex urethral strictures. In our study, we compared two different techniques of double faced buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty.
Methods: 46 patients who underwent double faced BMG urethroplasty at Ramaiah Medical College were retrospectively reviewed and grouped into A (Enzo Palminteri technique) and B (Joel Gelman technique). Post operatively, patients were followed up with AUA-SS, uroflowmetry and postvoid residual assessment. The data analysis was done using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: 24 patients belonged to group A and 22 patients belonged to group B. The mean stricture length measured was 4.42±1.632 cm in group A and 4.11±1.634 cm in group B with the preoperative mean Qmax and AUA score was 7±1.318 ml/s and 19.75±3.286 in group A and 7.3±1.497 ml/s and 18.68±3.469 in group B. Mean operative time was 162.7±12.156 minutes versus 181.36±7.429 minutes. Group A patients had significant intraoperative blood loss. Recurrence was noted in two patients, one from each group. Mean Qmax and mean AUA score at recent follow up was 19.3±1.63 ml/s and 6.4±2.10 versus 19.8±1.59 ml/s and 6.6±2.03 for group A and group B with a mean follow up of 36.6±12.63 months and 36.8±11.48 months respectively.
Conclusions: Double faced BMG urethroplasty for near obliterative urethral stricture is safe, efficacious with ventral onlay associated with lesser operative time.
Study of usefulness of budesonide nebulization in oxygen dependent preterm newborns in NICU
Authors: M. L. Rajith , R. Punyashree
Published: April 2024

Background: Increased duration of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay of preterm neonates have becoming an emotional and financial burden to parents leading to very high chances of parents discontinuing the treatment and thus increased morbidity and mortality of neonates. Oxygen dependency is the major cause of the prolonged NICU stay for the neonates having respiratory illness like respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), and pneumonia. Inhaled budesonide being a safe immunosuppressor has shown the promising result in the treatment of these immune system activated respiratory disorders of neonate and thus reduction of oxygen dependency and later reducing the hospital stay duration. The intent of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of inhaled budesonide in such respiratory disorders of neonate.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial involving 60 oxygen dependent neonates in NICU was conducted from July 2021 to March 2023.
Results: Budesonide nebulization decreased the duration of oxygen dependency of neonates and thus reduced NICU stay.
Conclusions: Budesonide nebulization is associated with improvements in respiratory parameters in neonates with RDS, MAS, Pneumonia leading to early oxygen weaning and early discharge.
The Conceptualization Research of SPOT Utilized in Domestic Corporate Education
Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Lee Sungchul , Kim Minjeong
Published: April 2024

SPOT is generally understood as games and activities used in domestic corporate education to induce learners' attention and concentration. However, the lack of clear conceptualization has sometimes caused confusion in the field. The purpose of this study is to suggest a more specific conceptualization of SPOT. To achieve this, a survey on SPOT utilization was conducted with thirty-five instructors in the field of domestic corporate education. Subsequently, five experts who owns doctoral degrees and have extensive experience in utilizing SPOT in teaching and learning were recruited to conduct expert focus group interviews (FGI) in two stages. The first stage of the expert FGI, based on previous studies and survey data, discusses the concept, types, purposes, and operational hours of SPOT. The second stage presents the 'SPOT Spectrum Model' and ultimately conceptualizes SPOT. This study is expected to facilitate effective communication among corporate education managers, consulting firms, and corporate education instructors in the field of domestic corporate education regarding SPOT-related matters.

Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Lee GaYoung , Huh SunYoung
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to develop personalized feedback using generative AI and apply it to pre-service teachers to examine their reactions and effects. For this purpose, the study utilized the generative AI ChatGPT to create three rounds of personalized feedback. The first feedback was tailored based on the diagnosis of teaching competencies, while the second and third feedback were customized for instructional plans written by pre-service teachers. These personalized feedback sessions were sequentially provided to a total of 40 pre-service teachers. The research results showed that learners generally perceived personalized feedback positively, indicating that the provided feedback was helpful for creating instructional plans or improving teaching competencies. However, some participants suggested that the feedback content was relatively general and expressed a desire for more specific examples tailored to their individual needs. Regarding the effectiveness of personalized feedback, the study confirmed improvement in teaching competencies related to instructional design and operational skills among pre-service teachers. This research is significant in providing specific applications of generative AI in the field of education at a time when its utility is increasing. However, the study has limitations as it only examined the results of teaching competency diagnoses in confirming the effectiveness of personalized feedback. Future research will aim to explore evaluation results for instructional plans and teaching demonstrations.
A literature review on various materials which can be used for obturation in primary teeth
Authors: Ghosh Debadrita
Published: April 2024

Treatment of primary teeth or permanent teeth in children presents a challenge to the clinician. In today’s time, dental caries found to be the most common oral disease affecting the oral cavity of the children’s. And most of the cases of dental caries when not treated in the initial time leads to inflammation of the pulp and once the pulp got inflamed, patient presents with pain, at that time only option left for the dentist is removal of the inflamed pulp from the pulp chambers and then fill the root canals with obturating materials and form the apical seal, so that there will be no communication of the tooth with the external environment. Pulp pathologies when not treated on time, might leads to problem which is known as malocclusion of the teeth. Pulp treatment in children/or in primary teeth are different as compared to the permanent teeth, and simultaneously the obturating materials for the primary teeth are also different as compared to the obturating materials for the permanent teeth. It has been found that adequate cleaning of the canal and irrigation of the canal is quite difficult in primary teeth due to the complex anatomy of the root canal morphology. There are different materials which can be used as an obturating materials for the primary teeth for example zinc oxide eugenol material, has been into the use since long time as an obturating material of choice in the primary teeth, and also zinc oxide eugenol material can not considered as an ideal root canal filling material as this obturating material shows very much little anti-microbial action and this material also shows slower rate of resorption.

Authors: Gajbhiye Shubhra Shree
Published: April 2024

Forensic odontology plays a key role in person identification in case of mass disasters, criminal investigations, and ethnicity studies, and in identifying decomposed and disfigured bodies, fire victims, and victims of motor vehicle accidents. Rugoscopy is an important specialty, which has been an area of interest for many forensic odontologists. As palatal Rugae are present in all victims and resistant to change (aging, trauma, and so forth) so they act as an ideal for identification. Palatal Rugae are also named Plicae Palatinae transverse or Rugae Palatine. The Palatal Rugae are generally transverse ridges placed in the anterior part of the palatine mucosa. Palatal Rugae are resistant to thermal effects (heat and burn) and decomposition changes because of their internal position in the head. They are used in cases where dental identification is not possible and in patients where other body parts are burnt or decomposed.

: Aim of the study is to identify and analyze different patterns of palatal rugae and gender differences in Bilaspur and Nagpur populations.

: This study will include a total of 80 dental casts — 40 males and 40 females.

: The analysis of palatal rugae concerning the number of rugae, shape, length, and unification will be done.
