This study aimed to explore the effect of auditory integration therapy (AIT) on the forkhead box J1 protein and assessed its impact on behavioral, social, and sensory symptoms in children with autism. Behavioral, social, and sensory scores were calculated for each child using the childhood autism rating scale, social responsiveness scale, and short sensory profile before and after AIT. The plasma level of Foxj1 was [575 (351-2553) pg/mL] [median (interquartile range)] before AIT. This level did not change significantly (p˃0.05) immediately [1143(336-4599)], after one month [1268 (275-4932)], or three months [1058 (184-3462)] AIT. However, results revealed that behavioral, social, and sensory rating scales were improved after AIT. Pearson correlation (r) values before and after AIT between severity variables were calculated. Unchanged plasma levels of Foxj1 after AIT supported the non-therapeutic effect of AIT on Foxj1 in autistic children. A significant change in behavioral, social, and sensory symptoms was noticed in autistic children. Additional research, on a large population, is necessary to assess AIT's impact on behavioral and social changes in children with an autism spectrum disorder.

Authors: Huang Rong , Li Hongxiu , Suomi Reima , Li Chenglong , Peltoniemi Teijo
Published: December 2022

Background

Intelligent physical robots based on artificial intelligence have been argued to bring about dramatic changes in health care services. Previous research has examined the use of intelligent physical robots in the health care context from different perspectives; however, an overview of the antecedents and consequences of intelligent physical robot use in health care is lacking in the literature.

Objective

In this paper, we aimed to provide an overview of the antecedents and consequences of intelligent physical robot use in health care and to propose potential agendas for future research through a systematic literature review.

Methods

We conducted a systematic literature review on intelligent physical robots in the health care field following the guidelines of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Literature searches were conducted in 5 databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Embase, and CINAHL) in May 2021, focusing on studies using intelligent physical robots for health care purposes. Subsequently, the quality of the included studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. We performed an exploratory content analysis and synthesized the findings extracted from the included articles.

Results

A total of 94 research articles were included in the review. Intelligent physical robots, including mechanoid, humanoid, android, and animalistic robots, have been used in hospitals, nursing homes, mental health care centers, laboratories, and patients’ homes by both end customers and health care professionals. The antecedents for intelligent physical robot use are categorized into individual-, organization-, and robot-related factors. Intelligent physical robot use in the health care context leads to both non–health-related consequences (emotional outcomes, attitude and evaluation outcomes, and behavioral outcomes) and consequences for (physical, mental, and social) health promotion for individual users. Accordingly, an integrative framework was proposed to obtain an overview of the antecedents and consequences of intelligent physical robot use in the health care context.

Conclusions

This study contributes to the literature by summarizing current knowledge in the field of intelligent physical robot use in health care, by identifying the antecedents and the consequences of intelligent physical robot use, and by proposing potential future research agendas in the specific area based on the research findings in the literature and the identified knowledge gaps.

Authors: Seok Sukyung , Choi Sujin , Kim Kimun , Choi Jongsuk , Sung Jee Eun , Lim Yoonseob
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND

Many studies have shown that robots can provide medical help to patients, such as supporting physical movements, managing mood, or simulating cognitive function. However, robotic cognitive/language assessment, which is vital for mental health care, has not been fully explored and is limited to only a few types of assessment.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to present and evaluate a social robot equipped with a web-based language assessment for sentence comprehension test (SCT) with a dialogue system involving yes/no questions.

METHODS

A total of 50 participants took a SCT with 36 items conducted by a robot (robot SCT), while a total of 55 participants took the same test but conducted by a human examiner (human SCT). Comparative analyses were performed to evaluate the feasibility of the robot SCT in terms of SCT score and time-related measures. The system usability score (SUS) and interview feedback were also analyzed to assess the usability of the robot SCT.

RESULTS

In terms of the feasibility of the robot SCT, the SCT scores showed that there was no significant difference between the robot SCT and human SCT group. Also, there were conditional differences in reaction time for the test items, similar to that of the paper-and-pencil SCT in previous research. The high SUS scores (i.e., mean 78.5, SD 11) demonstrated the high usability of the robot SCT.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrates the feasibility and usability of robotic language assessment among normal individuals. Further evaluation is needed in people with dementia or mild cognitive impairment.

Published: December 2022

The data and results of field observations show that Punggur Kecil Village is identical to the economically weak community and depends on agriculture for its livelihood which is to cultivate plants using inorganic fertilizers. Inorganic fertilizers are widely used by farmers, this is because they are more efficient and effective than organic fertilizers. Whereas the continuous use of chemical fertilizers causes the land to be damaged and cannot provide the carrying capacity for human life. This happens because the community does not have the knowledge and skills in processing household waste into organic fertilizer which is more environmentally friendly. Therefore, the abundance of natural resources in Bilayuk Village from the agricultural aspect cannot be utilized optimally due to limited human resources. The results showed that the material for processing household waste into organic compost using the Takakura method could be understood by 68% of the target audience, overall the participants liked the use of Takakura compost in the cultivation of vegetable crops produced by the distribution of 14% of participants who preferred inorganic fertilizers, 27 % prefer Takakura’s organic compost, and 59% like both.

Data dan hasil observasi lapangan menunjukkan bahwa Desa Punggur Kecil identik dengan masyarakat ekonomi lemah dan menggantungkan hidupnya dari pertanian apa adanya, yang dalam melakukan budi daya tanamannya menggunakan pupuk anorganik. Pupuk anorganik banyak digunakan oleh petani karena lebih efektif dan efisien daripada pupuk organik. Padahal, penggunaan pupuk kimia yang terus-menerus dapat menyebabkan lahan menjadi rusak dan tidak dapat memberikan daya dukung bagi kehidupan manusia. Hal tersebut terjadi karena masyarakat tidak mempunyai pengetahuai dan keterampilan dalam mengolah limbah rumah tangga menjadi pupuk organik yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Oleh sebab itu, melimpahnya sumber daya alam di Desa Bilayuk dari aspek pertanian tidak dapat dimanfaatkan secara maksimal karena keterbatasan sumber daya manusia. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa materi pengolahan limbah rumah tangga menjadi kompos organik dengan metode Takakura dapat dipahami oleh 68% dari khalayak sasaran. Secara keseluruhan peserta menyukai penggunaan kompos Takakura dalam budi daya tanaman sayur-sayuran yang dihasilkan dengan pembagian 14% peserta yang lebih menyukai pupuk anorganik, 27% lebih menyukai kompos organik Takakura, dan 59% menyukai keduanya.

Authors: Hartono Aris , Oktiawati Unan
Published: December 2022

The development of information and communication technology, especially in this digital era, demands communication takes place quickly and the management of network connectivity efficiently and effectively. In line with this, PT Indonesia Comnets Plus have built the Metro Ethernet network which is an ethernet network technology implemented in a metropolitan area (big cities). The company provides an internet network due to providing the best quality network is compulsory. Hence, we need a Metro Ethernet network monitoring system with the aim of being able to know the performance and problems efficiently and in real time. One of the open source based applications used for network monitoring is Zabbix. This study aims to create and test the performance of Raspberry Pi in the Metro Ethernet network monitoring system at PT Indonesia Comnets Plus with the case study of DISKOMINFO in Garut Regency using the Zabbix application. In monitoring, the SNMP (Simple Network Monitoring Protocol) protocol is needed which will send network problems in the form of triggers. Trigger will evaluate the data collected and represent the current state of the system. Trigger contains two statuses, "OK" and "PROBLEM", to determine the threshold for what is "acceptable" data. Therefore, if the incoming data exceeds an acceptable state, the trigger status changes to "PROBLEM", the trigger status is recalculated every time the Zabbix server receives a new value. Zabbix server will send trigger status to electronic mail (e-mail) and Telegram application as notification for network administrators.
Application Performance Monitoring System Design Using Opentelemetry and Grafana Stack
Authors: Kusuma Guntoro Yudhy , Unan Yusmaniar Oktiawati
Published: December 2022

The increasingly massive use of digital technology requires that the application architecture be designed to have high availability and reliability. This is because when an application cannot be accessed, it will cause no small loss to the organization. Therefore, the development and operation teams must be able to detect when their system is not working well. For that, we need a system that can monitor application performance. In this research, a system is developed to collect telemetry data, namely metrics and traces from an online donation backend application based on the REST API. OpenTelemetry produces telemetry as an open-source telemetry instrumentation tool. Then the telemetry data is collected by the OpenTelemetry Collector which is then stored on the backend of each telemetry. Metrics are sent to Prometheus and traces are sent to Jaeger. The data metrics collected are throughput, request latency, and error rate which are visualized using the Grafana dashboard. The test results show that the monitoring system can collect real-time metrics data with an average delay of 13,8 seconds. The system can also detect when an anomaly occurs in the app and sends notifications via Slack. In addition, the trace data collected can be used to simplify the debugging process when an error occurs in the application. However, the implementation of OpenTelemetry in a REST API-based backend application to monitor metrics and traces has a negative impact on the performance of the application itself, which can reduce the number of request throughput with an average decrease of 23.32% and increase request latency with an average increase of 22.80%.

Acute Invasive Fungal Rhinosinusitis (AIFR) is a serious condition with aggressive course and high mortality rates. There is an upsurge in the incidence of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis in post COVID-19 patients. We have come across 20 AIFR cases in post COVID-19 patients. On retrospective exploration of the patient’s records, we found that 30% patients had received steroids and 90% had diabetes. All the patients were managed by administration of IV amphotericin B and local debridement of infected tissues. The mortality rate was as low as 15 %. We conclude that combined approach of Antifungal therapy with debridement of infected tissues improves the prognosis and survival of AIFR patients.

Authors: Chechet Olha , Korniienko Leonid , Ukhovskyi Vitalii , Dovgal Olexandr , Bilyk Sergyii , Tsarenko Taras
Published: December 2022

The paper highlights the impact of two cross-border poultry infections with zoonotic potential (avian flu and Newcastle disease) on the functioning of industrial poultry farms in the former Soviet Union counties (Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan), where the poultry industry is fairly well-developed. Despite the permanent vaccination of poultry against Newcastle disease in industrial poultry farming, the disease still affects individual farms in Ukraine, the Russian Federation, and Kazakhstan. In case of outbreaks, the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan use inactivated influenza vaccines. In Ukraine, for almost 20 years, outbreaks of influenza have been confirmed mainly on individual farms, and one outbreak of highly pathogenic influenza was reported on an industrial poultry farm in 2020. In the Russian Federation, highly pathogenic influenza occurs on industrial poultry farms more often. In Russia, seven industrial poultry enterprises were affected by influenza in 2016-2017, and eight in 2018. Infection of poultry with influenza virus on poultry factory farms is an indication of shortcomings in compliance with biosecurity measures. Influenza and Newcastle disease are always likely to occur in the countries in question, as wild birds migrate through their territory, and they are a reservoir of pathogens, therefore outbreaks are often associated with spring and autumn migrations of wild birds. In all of said countries, a large number of poultry is kept by individual households, where basic biosecurity, sanitation and preventive vaccination measures are not applied. This component is often crucial in bringing viral infections such as influenza and Newcastle disease on large poultry farms. As a result, the virus is brought onto poultry farms by synanthropic birds, humans, transport, feed, etc.

Published: December 2022

Objectives This study aims to investigate the relationship between female college student's childhood experiences and parenthood(perceptions of parenthood, motivations of parenthood, parental roles).
Methods The subjects of this study were 125 female college students at two universities in Chungcheongbuk-do, and the data collected from September 1, 2020 to September 20, 2020 were analyzed using Cronbach's α, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, and Pearson correlation coefficient through the SPSS 23.0.
Results Childhood experiences according to general characteristics showed significant differences in the survival of parents, the composition of sibling, father's educational background, mother's educational background, marital relationship, and parent-child relationship. According to the results of the post-hoc test, ‘the survival of only the mother’ in terms of the survival of parents; ‘3 or more’ in terms of the composition of sibling; ‘very close’ in terms of marital relationship, and ‘very close’ in terms of parent-child relationship were high. Motivations of parenthood showed significant differences in religion, economic status, father's educational background, and marital relationship. Parental roles showed significant differences in religion, mother's educational background, marital relationship, and parent-child relationship. The post-hoc test has found that ‘close’ was higher than ‘very close’ in terms of marital relationships. On the other hand, there was no significant differences in childhood experiences according to the perceptions of parenthood, whereas there were significant differences in motivations of parenthood in marriage plans and childbirth plans. When it comes to correlations, childhood experiences showed between motivations of parenthood(r=-.194, p=.030) and parental roles(r=-.290, p=.001), and the motivations of parenthood were correlated with parental roles(r=-.517, p=<.001).
Conclusions The results of this study have found that parenthood is closely related to childhood experiences, and therefore practical educational plans are required to help them successfully fulfill parental roles in the era of low fertility.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Jung Min , Kim Esther
Published: December 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the process of “becoming a learner” for Vietnamese students and explore its educational implications in order to reflect on the lives and experiences of international students as agents of learning.
Methods For the purpose, this research conducted in-depth interviews with 7 Vietnamese international students enrolled in A-University in KyungBuk province. This research used ‘becoming a learner’ process and experience that cannot be generalized by using Yin’s ‘explanation’ method with following steps of ‘open coding’, ‘categorization’, and ‘confirm category’. In addition, Deleuze and Guattari's concept of ‘becoming’ was used as the direction of analysis of the interview data.
Results As a result of the analysis of the data, the experiences of Vietnamese students ‘becoming a learner’ were confirmed to be those that continuously pursue novelty and were classified in the following forms: ‘escape to Korea,’ ‘experiencing the ‘difference’ and ‘repetition’ of balancing work and study,’ ‘growing up while observing the lives of myself and others,’ ‘the place where I am becomes a place of learning,’ and ‘dreaming a nomadic life different from yesterday.’
Conclusions The insight from the Vietnamese international students' experience in the process of 'becoming a learner' was that the learning was not limited to a place. The process of constantly rearranging the given environment and people through their lives allowed creative creation and transformation to continue, and it could be explained that work and learning were never separated. In this respect, it is necessary to devise educational countermeasures such as community connection and university community vitalization that enable Vietnamese students to maintain their studies based on their understanding of life as learners.

A Study on Learning Strategy for immigrant adolescent Korean learners
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kang su jung
Published: December 2022

Objectives In order to investigate the appropriate teaching-learning method for immigrant adolescent Korean learners, The purposes of this study attempted to examine the usage patterns of learning strategies and their characteristics.
Methods To carry on such discussion, after reviewing previous studies and theoretical backgrounds to secure the validity of the study, the questionnaire of “51 questions on learning strategies” that has been categorized into 6 different categories was constructed and was carried out on the study subjects in Korea via Google URL. The survey answers were first analyzed with the SPSS 22 to verify the validity, and the usage patterns of individual strategies were analyzed using T-tests, one-way variance, and response sample analysis.
Results The analysis on the overall strategy as well as the individual usage patterns showed no statistically significant results; the results were the same for the additional response sample analysis. The ‘top three strategies (high-cognitive, social, cognitive strategies) and the bottom three strategies (compensation, definitional, memory strategies)’ were extracted, and it was found that the ‘cognitive strategy’ had the highest usage rate while the ‘definitional strategy’ had the lowest rate. And in line with this fact, the definitional strategy usage rate was shown to be independent of the learning period, duration of residence, and proficiency, which confirmed that the teaching-learning plan for the respective strategy must be further investigated.
Conclusions As such, this study provided a new perspective to take into account in preparing a teaching-learning plan for immigrant adolescent Korean learners, who have similar learning purposes with the students studying abroad and yet are in different learning environments; and it provided an ultimate and important reference point for the curriculum development and adjustments.
A Study on the Meaning of Mathematical Convergence Competency
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Joo Hongyun , Han Hyesook
Published: December 2022

Objectives The purposes of the study were to investigate the meaning of ‘mathematical convergence competency’ and derive its sub-elements to embody the understanding of the concept of ‘mathematical convergence competency’.
Methods This study was conducted by collecting and analyzing research papers and literatures including mathematics curriculum and textbook on mathematical connectivity and convergence competency. Through the analysis of the collected data, the definition of ‘mathematical convergence competency’ was developed and its sub-elements were derived, and instructional examples were presented to help understand the sub-elements.
Results ‘Mathematical convergence competency’ could be largely divided into internal mathematical convergence competency and external mathematical convergence competency. The internal mathematical convergence competency consisted of three sub-elements: ‘knowledge (conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge), ‘content area and theme(horizontal structure, vertical structure)’, and ‘expression and form(alternative representation, equivalent representation)’, and the external mathematical convergence competency consisted of two sub-elements: ‘context(the history of mathematics, real life extraction, real life application)’ and ‘other subjects’.
Conclusions Although interest in convergence competency in mathematics education is increasing, the concept of ‘mathematical convergence competency’ is not clear, and guidance on teaching-learning methods to develop students’ mathematical convergence competencies is insufficient. Therefore, in this study, we tried to develop the definition of ‘mathematical convergence competency’ and the sub-elements through literature analysis, and provided instructional examples to help understand the sub-elements. This will help determine the direction and focus of teaching and learning methods that can improve students’ mathematical convergence competency by enabling detailed approaches to ‘mathematical convergence competency’, and construct a specific evaluation framework for evaluate students’ ‘mathematical convergence competency’.

Atualmente a COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), causada pelo novo coronavírus (SARSCoV-2), o coronavírus 2 da síndrome respiratória aguda grave, tem se tornado um grande problema de ordem sanitária global e também um grande problema informacional. Isso porque, a infodemia, isto é, o excesso de informações (corretas ou equivocadas) sobre a doença contribui para causar confusão na população e, assim, diminuir sua confiança em informações oficiais. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se acompanhar e descrever aspectos relativos à infodemia de COVID-19 no Brasil, por meio do uso de estratégia de infoveillance em período específico. Para isso, foi utilizada a ferramenta Google Trends, de modo a se identificar os interesses de buscas da população brasileira por informação relativa à COVID-19. Em seguida, foram buscados, quantificados e identificados os equívocos científicos que se relacionem à COVID-19 em postagens realizadas em rede social. Por meio da ferramenta Google Trends observou-se que os assuntos mais pesquisados pela população brasileira se relacionavam a cloroquina, coronavírus e covid-19. Utilizando a ferramenta de busca avançada do Twitter para identificação de equívocos e fake news relacionadas à COVID-19, obteve-se um resultado maior nas combinações referentes a coronavírus e bactéria; coronavírus e cloroquina; e coronavírus e laboratório, levando-se em consideração quaisquer tipos de tweets produzidos em língua Portuguesa. Observou-se também que, no período de 01/08/2020 à 20/09/2020 houve um aumento de mais 450% de buscas relacionadas a “vacina contra coronavírus, mais de 120% de pesquisas sobre “pandemia de coronovírus”, mais de 110% sobre “vacina contra coronavírus no Brasil”. Concluiu-se que houve busca por informações relacionadas à pandemia da COVID-19, que aumentou consideravelmente com o avanço da doença, possibilidades de novos tratamentos, andamento dos testes com vacinas, entre outros aspectos. Nota-se que as ferramentas utilizadas são úteis, portanto, no acompanhamento da situação de infodemia relacionada à COVID-19.

A UTILIZAÇÃO DE VÍDEOS COM CONTEÚDO INTERDISCIPLINAR ACERCA DA COVID-19: DESMISTIFICANDO FAKE NEWS EM UM CONTEXTO ESCOLAR
Authors: Hollauer Henrique von Pressentin , Pinheiro Adriana Ramos , Cardoso Sheila Pressentin , Chinelli Maura Ventura
Published: December 2022

A pandemia causada pela Sars-CoV-2 evidenciou vários problemas em nossa sociedade, entre esses o negacionismo científico, algo que está ligado diretamente à proliferação de fake news. Parte deste negacionismo e o grande impacto das fake news ocorrem devido à falta de letramento científico por parte da população, o que motivou o desenvolvimento de um projeto escolar que teve como objetivo debater os aspectos sociais evidenciados na pandemia e promover o letramento científico de estudantes do ensino médio. Em vista da necessidade de isolamento social foram utilizadas ferramentas tecnológicas para ensinar conceitos da COVID-19, ferramentas essas como vídeos e formulários digitais. Os formulários traziam diversas notícias, falsas ou não, que circularam durante a pandemia, e os vídeos foram usados para esclarecer o que seria verdadeiro quanto ao tema abordado. Para a avaliação da metodologia e dos vídeos implementados foi utilizada a Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD), a qual se baseia em uma análise criteriosa da resposta de cada aluno. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a maioria dos alunos envolvidos aprovou e gostou do projeto aplicado, evidenciando ter sido essa uma opção bem-sucedida para promover letramento científico sobre assuntos relacionados à COVID-19

Este estudo objetiva analisar as concepções teórico-metodológicas de ensino, aprendizagem e ciclos de vida dos docentes que lecionam componentes de Psicologia Educacional nos cursos de formação de professores de uma universidade federal, buscando compreender as complexas relações existentes com as crenças dos licenciandos acerca destas concepções. Para a construção dos dados, foram realizadas entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas com oito docentes e uma roda de conversa com cinco professores que aceitaram participar da segunda etapa da investigação. Os resultados demonstram a prevalência de concepções interacionistas no que tange aos conceitos de ensino, aprendizagem e ciclos de vida entre os participantes e que tais concepções estão imbricadas em suas metodologias e prática pedagógica, trazendo impactos substanciais nas construções das concepções dos licenciandos. As conclusões apontam que há uma relação não linear, difusa e complexa entre as concepções e práticas docentes e as concepções discentes.

Authors: Munde Anjali , Mishra Nandita
Published: December 2022

Stock markets are volatile and continue to alter based on the functioning of the company, historical documents, market-rate, and news updates with the timings. Stock price prediction is the utmost stimulating assignment. In the present communication, a study with data on the stock prices of the top small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) was utilized to estimate the functioning of the technique executed. The results of this study demonstrate the impact of COVID-19 on the financial distress of SMEs and also helps us in understanding how a better prediction model can help in predicting financial distress. Many studies have been conducted to estimate the bankruptcy of the SME sector using accounting-based financial. But in this study, the leading principle was to exemplify the means to utilize machine learning (ML) algorithms in the bankruptcy prediction of SMEs. The outcomes from the proposed a decision tree and a random forest prototype are observed to be effective with a high accuracy rate. The study has practical implications on the prediction accuracy and practical value for banks in supporting the financial decision and can be used to access the loan applications of SMEs.

OBJECTIVE

The relationship between diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and long-term glycemic control varies between studies. We aimed, firstly, to characterize the association of DKA and its severity with long-term HbA1c in a large contemporary cohort, and secondly, to identify other independent determinants of long-term HbA1c.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Participants were 7,961 children and young adults diagnosed with type 1 diabetes by age 30 years from 2000 to 2019 and followed prospectively in the Australasian Diabetes Data Network (ADDN) until 31 December 2020. Linear mixed-effect models related variables to HbA1c.

RESULTS

DKA at diagnosis was present in 2,647 participants (33.2%). Over a median 5.6 (interquartile range 3.2, 9.4) years of follow-up, participants with severe, but not moderate or mild, DKA at diagnosis had a higher mean HbA1c (+0.23%, 95% CI 0.11,0.28; [+2.5 mmol/mol, 95% CI 1.4,3.6]; P < 0.001) compared with those without DKA. Use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) was independently associated with a lower HbA1c (−0.28%, 95% CI −0.31, −0.25; [−3.1 mmol/mol, 95% CI −3.4, −2.8]; P < 0.001) than multiple daily injections, and CSII use interacted with severe DKA to lower predicted HbA1c. Indigenous status was associated with higher HbA1c (+1.37%, 95% CI 1.15, 1.59; [+15.0 mmol/mol, 95% CI 12.6, 17.4]; P < 0.001), as was residing in postcodes of lower socioeconomic status (most vs. least disadvantaged quintile +0.43%, 95% CI 0.34, 0.52; [+4.7 mmol/mol, 95% CI 3.4, 5.6]; P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Severe, but not mild or moderate, DKA at diagnosis was associated with a marginally higher HbA1c over time, an effect that was modified by use of CSII. Indigenous status and lower socioeconomic status were independently associated with higher long-term HbA1c.
New approach for multi-material design: Combination of laser beam and electromagnetic melt pool displacement by induced Lorentz forces
Authors: Heßmann Jennifer , Hilgenberg Kai
Published: December 2022

Multimaterial structures are a promising solution to reduce vehicle weight and save fuel or electric energy in automotive design. However, thermal joining of steel and aluminum alloys is a challenge to overcome due to different material properties and the formation of brittle intermetallic phases. In this study, a new joining approach for producing overlap line-shaped joints is presented. The lower joining partner (EN AW 5754) is melted by a laser beam, and this melt is displaced into a line-shaped cavity of the upper joining partner (1.0330) by induced Lorentz forces. The melt solidifies in the cavity to a material and form-fitting joint. This approach needs no auxiliary joining elements or filler materials. Previous investigation to produce spot-shaped joints by using this approach showed that quality and reproducibility were limited by known melt pool dynamics of aluminum alloys (keyhole collapses). For line-shaped joints, the melt displacement can take place behind the keyhole. This allows the displacement process to be spatially uncoupled from the influence of keyhole collapses. The study shows that this improved the process stability and the quality of the joint. The created line-shaped joints were microstructurally characterized by transversal sections. Intermetallic phases were identified by electron backscatter diffraction and EDX analysis. The detected intermetallic phases consist of a 5–6 μm compact phase seam of Al5.6Fe2 and a needle-shaped phase of Al13Fe4. Tensile shear tests were carried out to quantify the load capacity. It was possible to create a joint with a load capacity of about 2 kN.

Published: December 2022

Deontic logic is a branch of symbolic logic interested in notions such as obligatory, permissible, optional, ought, and others similar. There are some equivalent ways to present the Standard Deontic Logic or KD. In this paper, we will mention some of them and highlight one that is of interest. With this presentation we can propose a simple algebraic model for the Standard Deontic Logic.
