Authors: Bilan Nemat , Amirikar Farinaz , Gheibi Maedeh
Published: October 2024

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in childhood is an acute lung infection in a child caused by a pathogen originating outside the hospital, i.e., in the community. This disease is a significant cause of illness in developed countries and a major cause of death in developing countries. Objectives: This study aims to assess the factors predicting the incidence of pulmonary complications in children with community-acquired pneumonia. Methods: This study involved all children hospitalized in Zahra Mardani Azari Children's Hospital in Tabriz due to CAP between October 2022 and October 2023. Patients were compared in terms of demographic information, prescription records, medicines prescribed during hospitalization, clinical signs and symptoms, laboratory findings at admission and during hospital treatment; imaging results, and the clinical course of the disease. The study data was analyzed using SPSS version 23 software; and we used logistic regression analysis for identifying the related risk factors. Results: We included 361 patients, of which 104 (28.8%) were in the case group, and 257 (71.2%) were in the control group. The frequent complication was parapneumonic effusion (81.7%) following necrotizing pneumonia (27.9%), empyema (20.2%), and lung abscess (6.7%). Risk factors for pulmonary complications in children with CAP were weight (OR = 1.129), height (OR = 1.112), Body Mass Index (BMI) (OR = 1.112), administration of oral and intravenous acetaminophen during hospitalization (OR = 1.112, 1.209), Tachypnea (OR = 5.178), duration of Fever (OR = 1.290), ESR (OR = 1.312) and HRAD (OR = 3.473). Conclusions: We found that high weight and BMI, receiving acetaminophen during hospitalization, Tachypnea, and Fever duration until hospitalization, as well as high WBC and ESR, were predictive factors of pulmonary complications in children with CAP.

Context: Drug-related mortality is a major concern in public and global health discussions. Objectives: Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, causes, and prevention of death after individuals are released from prison. Methods: This study was conducted systematically using MeSH keywords with no language or time restrictions. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were extensively searched for observational studies from 1980/1/1 to 2023/12/30, following the PRISMA checklist. Fourteen research studies were ultimately included in the systematic review process. The CRD code is CRD42024571756. Results: The two-week period following release, with an 18% prevalence, was identified as the time when most overdose deaths occurred. The leading causes of death included prior heroin use, previous experiences with drug withdrawal, drug injection, and sedative use within six months before death. Compared to other unnatural causes of death, there was an increased risk of fatal drug overdose for individuals who died within the first two months of release. Men had higher death rates from all causes compared to women. Most studies reported that substance abuse treatment during imprisonment and providing take-home naloxone for emergencies protected against mortality from all causes. Conclusions: In conclusion, evidence from these systematic investigations highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions to address substance use disorders and overdose prevention among individuals recently released from prison. Efforts to bridge the gap between incarceration and community reintegration should prioritize comprehensive substance abuse treatment programs to reduce the heightened risk of mortality in this vulnerable population.

Published: October 2024

Teh menjadi minuman yang biasa dikonsumsi oleh sebagian masyarakat dan salah satu minuman yang banyak dikenal oleh seluruh dunia, yang dihasilkan dari pucuk daun muda tanaman Camellia sinensis. Berdasarkan proses pengolahannya, teh dapat dikategorikan menjadi berbagai jenis, termasuk teh hitam, teh oolong, teh hijau, dan teh putih. Tanaman teh dikenal kaya akan senyawa polifenol, yang memiliki potensi sebagai agen antioksidan dan memberikan berbagai manfaat kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi aktivitas antioksidan pada teh celup, yang merupakan produk minuman fungsional yang banyak dikonsumsi masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah DPPH (2,2-difenil-1-pikrilhidrazil), di mana absorbansi dari sampel diukur menggunakan spektrofotometer dengan pendekatan kuantitatif untuk menilai efektivitas antioksidan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan nilai persen inhibisi, yang mengindikasikan adanya aktivitas antioksidan dalam sampel teh celup. Dari pengukuran tersebut, diperoleh nilai IC50 sebesar 326,542 µg/mL, yang menunjukkan bahwa teh celup memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang tergolong sangat lemah. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa meskipun teh celup mengandung senyawa yang memiliki potensi antioksidan, efektivitasnya dalam mengatasi radikal bebas masih rendah, seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh nilai IC50 yang tinggi.

Oranjerivierafrikaans, ŉ Argeologiese Genealogie. Deel IV. 1999-2021
Authors: Staphorst Luan
Published: October 2024

Dié laaste deel van ŉ vierdelige artikelreeks ondersoek die geskiedenis van die sosiolinguistiek relatief tot Oranjerivierafrikaans, een van die drie hoofdialekkontinuums van Afrikaans, van die periode 1999 tot 2021. Begrond in die linguistiese geskiedskrywing in die breë, en Michel Foucault se argeologiese en genealogiese oriënterings in die besonder, skets die artikeldeel hoe die huidige periode in die intellektuele geskiedenis van Oranjerivierafrikaans as die tydsgees van tekstualiteit opgesom kan word. Die periode sien die hoogbloei van die aandag aan geskrewe tekste – sowel argivale bronne as meer resente skeppende skryfwerk. Hiernaas word die deurentydsgees van romantiese pittigheid, ŉ benadering wat die ganse Afrikaanse sosiolinguistiek deurspek, bespreek. Die optekenings en navorsing van ondere andere Sanet du Plessis, Frank Hendricks, Annél Otto, Elvis Saal, Donovan Lawrence, Carla Luijks, Luan Staphorst, Camilla Christie, Daan Wissing, en Hendrik Theys word bespreek. Hierdeur daag die artikelreeks vier sentrale veronderstellings oor die taalvorm uit, naamlik dat daar ŉ gebrek aan bronne is, dat dit redelik “onsigbaar” is, dat dit as ŉ Swart Afrikaanse taalvorm getipeer kan word, en dat Kaapse Afrikaans, eerder as Oranjerivierafrikaans, as die “oudste” vorm van Afrikaans beskou moet word. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This last part of a four-part article series investigates the history of sociolinguistics relative to Orange River Afrikaans, one of Afrikaans’s three main dialect continuas, from the period 1999 to 2021. Grounded in linguistic historiography broadly construed, and Michel Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical orientations specifically, this part of the article sketches how the intellectual history of Orange River Afrikaans in this period can be summarised as the Zeitgeist of textuality. This period sees the height of the study of written texts – of both archival and creative writing. A final discussion focuses on the discourse of “romantic curiosa”, a discourse that has pervaded the study of Orange River Afrikaans since the onset of Afrikaans sociolinguistics. The writings and research of, amongst others, Sanet du Plessis, Frank Hendricks, Annél Otto, Elvis Saal, Donovan Lawrene, Carla Luijks, Luan Staphorst, Camilla Christie, Daan Wissing, and Hendrik Theys are discussed. Through this, the article series challenges four central and dominant presuppositions on Orange River Afrikaans, namely that there are limited sources available relative to it, that it constitutes an “invisible” language form, that it can be typified as an expression of Black Afrikaans, and that Kaaps (Cape Afrikaans), rather than Orange River Afrikaans, should be regarded as the “oldest” form of Afrikaans.

Authors: Баймурат кызы Нуриза
Published: October 2024

The student’s ability to explain the lesson through games is especially developed. The game is a distracting, entertaining part of the learning process for the student. All students should be treated equally during the game. It is inappropriate to distinguish between well-known and poorly developed ones. Treating all students equally encourages the student, he feels free and loses his shyness when speaking another language. As a result, he learns the language and begins to speak confidently. The success of the game depends on the atmosphere created in this class. Thanks to the game, the cognitive activity of students increases.

Ways of visual transmission and reception of information, implemented not only through visual objects and their images, but also through schemes and models, were considered. The information presented in the form of IC is more effective, faster received and remembered for a long time, because such a map corresponds to the natural associative nature of human thinking. The use of the ICT method in teaching, students’ personal work, and collective work forms informational, communicative and professional competencies.
Իրավունքի հնարավորությունից իրականություն վերածման կառուցակարգը իրավահասկացողության հիմնական տիպերի համայնապատկերում / The Mechanism of Transforming Law from Possibility into Reality within the Framework of the Main Types of Legal Understanding
Authors: Leyloyan Hasmik A.
Published: October 2024

The elucidation and understanding of the mechanism of transforming law from possibility into reality are largely determined by legal understanding. Therefore, the author considers it necessary to comprehensively analyze and interpret this mechanism within the framework of the main concepts (approaches) of legal understanding. In particular, the discussed mechanism is examined from the standpoint of two main types of legal understanding: first, the legalistic-normative type, and then the jural type. During the analysis from the standpoint of jural understanding, the stages of the mechanism of the transformation of law from possibility into reality are presented in detail, where "objective" law serves as the criterion for law.
The author also analyzes the unique reflection of this mechanism in Hegel’s “Philosophy of Law”. Essentially, based on the positions of the integral approach to legal understanding, this mechanism is revealed through the method of ascending philosophical categories from the abstract to the concrete.
According to the conclusion presented in the article, the mechanism of the transformation of law from possibility into reality has a complex, multifaceted, multistage and changeable nature, the elucidation of which undoubtedly depends on legal understanding. Regressive and outdated are all those approaches that, based on formal, legalistic - normative understanding of law, view the discussed mechanism only in a narrow sense - as the implementation of officially acting positive law in public legal relations through state coercion. These approaches are being replaced by concepts based on the differences between law and legislation, which, on the basis of the jural (also mixed) type of legal understanding, analyze the discussed mechanism in a broader sense, from a philosophical standpoint, taking into account the essence of law, the objective requirements of law, the active role of legal subjects, etc. From the methodological perspective of this legal understanding, the examined mechanism acquires new content, which, according to the author, is essential for resolving the issue of transforming law from possibility into reality.
Categories of Lukabarasi Nominal Compounds and their Pragmatic Functions
Authors: Lukania Valentine , Mudogo Benard , Alati Atichi
Published: October 2024

Although the categories of nominal compounds in many Bantu languages have been described in the literature, their pragmatic functions are often unexplained. This paper examines this phenomenon in Lukabarasi language of Western Kenya, based on the Generative Morphological Theory (GMT) (Bochner, 1992). The study employed a descriptive research design. Data was collected from native speakers using purposive sampling and snowballing techniques. The collected data was analyzed using a content analysis to identify and describe emerging themes. We identified these types of Lukabarasi nominal compounds; Noun+ Noun, Noun+ Verb, and Verb+ Verb. The study established the process of acquiring compounds in Lukabarasi involves prefix deletion, vowel duplication, and nominalization of verbs. The study also found that pragmatic processes modify the meaning of the compound based on context. Lukabarasi has commonly prefixes of singular and plural nouns. The singular prefixes include omu-, eshi- and eli- while the plural prefixes are eva-, efu- and ofu-. We analyzed the pragmatic functions of compounds, finding they serve metaphoric, attitudinal, identification, and classifying functions. This study contributes to understanding the pragmatic functions of nominal compounds in Lukabarasi.

Published: October 2024

Achieving maximum profit is closely tied to specific calculations regarding the costs incurred to produce a service product, such as the cost of a room. Activity-Based Costing (ABC) is one method used to calculate the cost of a room by evaluating expenses based on the resources consumed by various activities. The objective of this research is to determine room rental rates by calculating the cost of a room using the Activity-Based Costing method at Eben Kost Manado. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques included interviews and documentation. The findings indicate that the room rental rates determined using the Activity-Based Costing method are lower compared to those set by Eben Kost because the ABC method allocates all activity costs to each room type precisely based on each activity's consumption.

Kentleşme ve Ekonomik Büyüme İlişkisi: Panel Nedensellik Analizi
Authors: Altıner Ali , Şimşek Korkmaz Yeliz
Published: October 2024

Kentleşme, tarım toplumlarından sanayi toplumlarına geçişle birlikte başlayan ve kent nüfusunun artışıyla karakterize edilen bir süreçtir. Bu süreç, ekonomik, sosyal, kültürel ve çevresel faktörlerin bir araya gelmesiyle şekillenir. Kentleşme ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki çok yönlü ve karmaşıktır. Bu söylemden hareketle bu çalışma, kentleşme ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki üzerine durmaktadır. Bu amaçla 1990-2022 dönemi yıllık veriler kullanılarak 45 üst orta gelirli ülke için Dumitrescu- Hurlin (2012) panel nedensellik testi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, ekonomik büyüme ile kentleşme arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi olduğunu göstermiştir. Diğer bir deyişle ekonomik büyüme kentleşmeyi etkilediği gibi kentleşme de ekonomik büyümeyi etkilemektedir. Bu sonuçlar, ülkelerin ekonomik büyümeyi desteklemek için kamu harcamaları ve yatırımlarını artırarak stratejiler geliştirmesi gerektiği görüşünü desteklemektedir. Aynı zamanda, kentleşme süreçlerinin tüm ülkelerde ve bölgelerde dengeli bir biçimde gelişmesi için gerekli önlemlerin alınması büyük önem arz etmektedir. Böylelikle hem ekonomik büyüme hem de kentleşmenin birbirini destekleyen dinamikleri daha sağlıklı bir şekilde işleyebilir.
Petrol Fiyat Oynaklığı ve Makroekonomik Belirsizlik İlişkisi: Dinamik Panel Eşik Analizinden Kanıtlar
Authors: Tunç Ahmet , Atik Hayriye
Published: October 2024

Bu çalışma, petrol fiyat oynaklığının makroekonomik belirsizlik üzerindeki eşik etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, 1999-2022 dönemine ait, 22 ülkeyi kapsayan dengeli bir panel veri seti kullanılarak yapılan analizde, dinamik panel eşik modeline dayalı bulgular, petrol fiyat oynaklığının makroekonomik belirsizlik üzerinde anlamlı ve belirgin bir eşik etkisine sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Özellikle, petrol fiyat oynaklığının marjinal etkisinin, eşik seviyesinin altında ve üstünde önemli ölçüde farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın dikkat çekici bir diğer bulgusu, ülkelerin enerji ithalatına bağımlılık düzeyinin bu eşik etkisini belirleyen temel faktörlerden biri olarak öne çıkmasıdır. Enerji ithalatına bağımlılığı düşük olan ülkelerde eşik seviyesinin altında bir petrol fiyat oynaklığı, makroekonomik belirsizlik üzerinde anlamlı bir etki yaratmazken, eşik seviyesinin üzerindeki oynaklık, makroekonomik belirsizliği kayda değer ölçüde artırmaktadır. Buna karşın, enerji ithalatına yüksek bağımlılığı olan ülkelerde, petrol fiyat oynaklığının hem eşik seviyesinin altında hem de üstünde makroekonomik belirsizlik üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Bulgular ayrıca, enerji ithalat bağımlılığı düzeyinden bağımsız olarak, reel faiz oranlarındaki artışların makroekonomik belirsizliği artırdığına, buna karşın kişi başına gelirdeki artışların belirsizliği azalttığına işaret etmektedir. Bu bulgular, makroekonomik belirsizlikle mücadelede düşük faiz politikalarının dikkatli bir şekilde değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini ve ekonomik büyümeyi destekleyen gelir artırıcı politikaların etkili bir araç olarak teşvik edilmesinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.

Authors: Koçak Gizem
Published: October 2024

Sürdürülebilir ticaret yaklaşımı, kaynak kullanımını optimizasyonu ve olumsuz ekolojik etkileri en aza indirme hedefi doğrultusunda çevresel ve sosyal sorumlulukları ticari operasyonlara entegre etmektedir. Bir diğer sürdürülebilir temelli yaklaşım olan yeşil pazarlama kavramı ise, çevre dostu niteliklerine dayalı olarak ürün ve hizmetlerin tanıtınımının gerçekleştirilmesi, tüketici farkındalığının artırılması ve olumlu kurumsal imaj oluşturulması çabalarına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca, yeşil pazarlama, maliyet tasarrufu sağlayan çevre dostu ürünlerin ve hizmetlerin geliştirilmesini teşvik ederek yenilikçiliği de desteklemektedir. Günümüzde dünya, kaynak kıtlığı, çevresel kirlilik,  iklim değişikliği, su ve enerji krizleri gibi önemli zorluklarla karşı karşıyadır. Bu nedenle, sürdürülebilir üretim ve ticaret süreçlerine, çevre dostu ürünler ve hizmetlere yönelik tüketici talebi özellikle ekolojik bilinçli seçimlere öncelik veren Y kuşağı ve Z kuşağı demografisi arasında giderek artmaktadır. Geleceğin satın alma gücünün bu demografik yapının elinde olcağı düşünüldüğünde, bu bireylerin taleplerini dikkate almamak işletmelerin başarısını olumsuz yönde etkileme riski barındırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, sürdürlebilirlik temelli yaklaşımların işletmelerin ticari faaliyetlerine ve pazarlama stratejilerine entegrasyonunun işletmeleri nasıl geliştirilebileceğini ve bu süreç sonucunda hem işletmelere, hem tüketicelere ve hemde çevreye nasıl fayda sağlayabileceği ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla, sürdürülebilir ticaret ve yeşil pazarlama kavramları, bu kavramların önemli unsurları ve uygulama örnekleri anlatılarak uzun vadeli sürdürülebilir işletme yapıları oluşturma noktasında önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Authors: Karabay Hacer
Published: October 2024

Dijital dönüşüm, işletmelerin dijital teknolojileri stratejik olarak entegre ederek iş süreçlerini optimize etmesi, operasyonel verimliliği artırması ve müşteri deneyimini geliştirmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu dönüşüm, veri analitiği, yapay zeka, IoT gibi teknolojilerle desteklenmekte ve lojistik süreçlerde önemli yenilikler sağlamaktadır. Artan veri erişimi ve analiz yeteneği sayesinde, tedarik zinciri yönetimi daha doğru ve öngörülebilir hale gelmiş, akıllı depo yönetimi ve otomatikleştirilmiş envanter kontrol sistemleri gibi uygulamalarla operasyonel verimlilik artırılmıştır. Çalışmada çeşitli endüstrilerden başarı hikâyeleri ve uygulama örnekleri sunularak, dijital dönüşümün potansiyel faydaları somutlaştırılmıştır. Amazon’un veri analitiği ve robotik otomasyon kullanarak depolama ve envanter yönetimini optimize etmesi, Maersk’in blockchain teknolojisini kullanarak operasyonel süreçlerde şeffaflığı ve veri güvenirliğini artırması dijital dönüşümün başarılı uygulamaları olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu örnekler, yalnızca operasyonel süreçlerde değil, aynı zamanda müşteri memnuniyeti açısından hız ve esneklik konusunda önemli avantajlar sağladığı vurgulanmaktadır. Ayrıca gelecek trendler incelenmiş olup sürdürülebilir dijital dönüşüm konusuna da yer verilmiştir.  IoT ve veri analitiği gibi teknolojiler, enerji verimliliğini artırarak ve atık yönetimini iyileştirerek çevresel sürdürülebilirliğe katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, dijital dönüşüm sürecinin başarısında karşılaşılan zorluklar da ele alınmıştır. Teknolojik yatırımların yüksek maliyetleri, veri güvenliği ve gizlilik konusundaki riskler ile insan kaynaklarının yeni teknolojilere uyum sağlama ihtiyacı, işletmelerin dijital dönüşüm sürecinde dikkat etmesi gereken önemli unsurlar olarak belirtilmektedir. Sonuç olarak, dijital dönüşümün lojistik ve tedarik zincirinde sürdürülebilir ve rekabetçi avantajlar sağladığı, ancak bu dönüşüm sürecinin dikkatli planlama ve stratejik yönetim gerektirdiği vurgulanmıştır. Dijital dönüşüm sürecinin dikkatli bir şekilde planlanması ve yönetilmesi, işletmelerin hem maliyet avantajı sağlamasına hem de müşteri memnuniyetini artırarak pazarda lider olmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.

Pada tingkatan peserta didik sekolah menengah atas, bimbingan dan konseling merupakan suatu layanan yang diperlukan untuk membantu peserta didik menghadapi permasalahan yang dihadapinya. Pada usia ini peserta didik mulai mengembangkan apa yang ingin dilakukan tentunya apabila hal ini dilakukan tanpa pengawasan bisa saja menjadi buruk bagi peserta didik. Oleh sebab itu, perlu pemahaman dari peserta didik mengenai fungsi bk di sekolah agar dapat dimanfaatkan sebaik mungkin.metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu literatul review. Literatur review adalah sebuah metode yang sistematis, eksplisit dan reprodusibel untuk melakukan identifikasi, eval_uasi dan sintesis terhadap karya-karya hasil penelitian dan hasil pemikiran yang sudah dihasilkan oleh para peneliti dan praktisi. Literatur review bertujuan untuk membuat analisis dan sintesis terhadap pengetahuan yang sudah ada terkait topik yang akan diteliti untuk menemukan ruang kosong bagi penelitian yang akan dilakukan. Dari beberapa jurnal yang telah di kaji, ditemukan hasil penemuan bahwa masih banyak peserta didik belum memahami fungsi bk disekolahnya, mereka berpandangan bk adalah tempat dimana siswa bermasalah di proses dan tindak. Selain itu, ada ketakutakan akan di cela oleh teman apabila masuk ke ruangan bk. Kurangnya pemahaman ini tentu perlu dilakukan peningkatan pengenalan bk terhadap peserta didik di sekolah. Guru bk dapat menerapkan layanan-layanan yang sudah ada pada layanan bimbingan dan konseling, dimulai dari layanan orientasi yang dapat diberikan kepada peserta didik baru pada awal semester. Melalui layanan ini guru bk ataupun konselor dapat mengenalkan bk pada peserta didik.

This study explores the impact of gamification on students' collaboration skills, engagement, and learning achievement in the context of 21st-century education. Utilizing an experimental method, the research was conducted to observe the effects of implementing gamification, particularly through the Quizizz application, in classroom learning. The findings revealed that students in the experimental group, who experienced gamified learning, showed significant improvement in collaboration skills, engagement, and academic achievement compared to the control group. The application of gamification provided an interactive and engaging learning environment that promoted active participation and collaboration among students. The use of gamification as a learning strategy not only enhances students' soft skills but also contributes positively to their overall academic performance. These results suggest that gamification is an effective tool in modern educational settings, providing valuable insights for educators and policymakers to enhance learning outcomes.

We report here a series of detailed statistical analyses on the sea level variations in the Port of Trieste using one of the largest existing data catalogues that covers more than a century of measurements. We show that the distribution of waiting times, which are defined here akin to econophysics, namely the series of shortest time spans between a given sea level L and the next sea level of at least L + δ in the catalogue, exhibits a distinct scale-free character for small values of δ. For large values of δ, the shape of the distribution depends largely on how one treats the periodic components embedded in the sea level dataset. We show that direct analyses of the raw dataset yield distributions similar to the exponential distribution, while pre-processing the sea level data by means of a local averaging numerical recipe leads to Pareto-Tsallis distributions.

We perform 2D PIC simulations and observe different scenarios of electron trajectories trapped inside the bubble formed during the laser wakefield acceleration process (LWFA). The trajectories can close on the inside or on the outside of the bubble. The evolution of maximum energy of the injected electrons in both cases is evaluated. We propose an analytic approach based on a relativistic central field model
for describing the attraction of electrons near the bubble edge and compare it with the simulations.

Cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (CFO) of around 9 nm were synthesized with the solvothermal method. The CFO particles were covered with a barium titanate (BTO) shell at a 1:1 CFO:BTO ratio, via a sol-gel synthesis, to form CFO@BTO nanocomposites. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) studies reveal the presence of only the expected CFO and BTO phases. Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM, TEM) images show the thorough covering with the BTO shell. Energy-Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping was used to analyze the elemental composition of the nanocomposites. Magnetic characterization shows high saturation magnetization and low coercive field at 300 K, suitable for biomedical applications.

The effect of laser modification on the structure and wet (Simulated Body Fluid)-sliding behaviour of a Laser Powder Bed Fusion alloy Ti-6Al-4V was studied. The scanning of 400 W fiber laser with a speed of 10 mms –1 led to a surface melting with an increase in hardness (780–820 HV) and 20%-decrease in wear. Under the scanning speeds of 40–60 mms –1 the surface was refined almost without melting to provide a 7–8% increase in hardness/wear resistance accompanied by a decrease in the friction coefficient
