Computational phantom for the dosimetry of the red bone marrow of a 10-year-old child due to incorporated beta-emitters
Authors: Sharagin PA , Tolstykh EI , Shishkina EA
Published: July 2024

Bone-seeking radionuclides, in particular 89,90Sr, could get into the environment in the course of various anthropogenic radiation incidents. From there they enter a human body with food and water. This leads to red bone marrow (RBM) internal exposure. These elements were present in the composition of radioactive releases into the Techa River in 1950s, and are the major source of RBM exposure for the residents of the riverside settlements. RBM dose estimation relies on dosimetric modeling which comprises the development of 3D computational phantoms of the skeleton parts. By imitating the energy transfer in these phantoms, the conversion coefficients from the radionuclide activity in a bone to the dose rate in RBM are evaluated. The given study is yet another step in the research aimed at the elaboration of a set of computational phantoms of the skeleton for people of various age. The objective is to develop a computational phantom of a skeleton of a 10-year-old child to estimate dose to RBM due to incorporated beta-emitters. Original SPSD (stochastic parametric skeletal dosimetry) approach was used to create the phantoms. According to this method the skeleton sites containing RBM were divided into smaller segment of simple geometric shape, for which voxel phantoms were generated. The parameters for phantom generation were based on published research data. They included^ linear dimensions of bones, thickness of the cortical layer, characteristics/properties of the bone micro-architecture, density and chemical composition of the modelled media and the percentage of RBM content in bones. Generated computational phantom of the skeleton sites with active hematopoiesis of a 10-year-old child consists of 38 phantom-segments. Linear dimensions of the segments were from 3 to 88 mm, cortical layer thickness: 0.2–2.2 mm.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates the impact of peer collaboration on the speaking proficiency of first-year university students at a university in Hanoi through a quasi-experimental design. A total of 124 students were divided into experimental and control groups, with the experimental group participating in peer collaboration activities such as role-playing, group discussions, and collaborative projects over an 11-week period. Quantitative results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group's speaking scores, with a mean difference of -1.456 (t = -11.313, p < 0.001). Qualitative findings from classroom observations, surveys, interviews, and focus groups revealed increased confidence, reduced speaking anxiety, and the effectiveness of specific activities in enhancing speaking skills. Students reported that these activities provided practical language use, constructive peer feedback, and a supportive learning environment. The study concludes that peer collaboration is a highly effective strategy for improving speaking proficiency, fostering cultural understanding, and promoting social interaction among first-year students. These findings suggest that integrating structured peer collaboration activities into language curricula can lead to better learning outcomes. Future research should explore the long-term effects of peer collaboration and its impact on other language skills.

O presente artigo pretende analisar a importância da formulação de uma Estratégia de Segurança Nacional para o Brasil, nos moldes da National Security Strategy dos Estados Unidos da América (EUA), de modo a realizar o seu imperativo categórico, que posiciona o nosso País entre as cinco maiores potências do planeta. Com efeito, a projeção internacional de um país perpassa, inexoravelmente, pelo aprimoramento da sua Estratégia de Segurança Nacional, ou seja, da sua Grande Estratégia que projeta o seu desenvolvimento em todos os campos do podernacional. Nesse sentido, colima-se demonstrar que a base fundante da Estratégia de Segurança Nacional do Brasil deve ser a expansão dos seus núcleos estratégicos, aqui vislumbrados como os segmentos econômico-tecnológicos autônomos capazes de participar eficazmente da competição internacional. Isto significa dizer que a formulação da Grande Estratégia do Brasil não pode abrir mão da tríplice hélice da inovação tecnológica, que engloba as empresas, as universidades e o próprio governo. Não se pode confundir, portanto, a ideia de “núcleos estratégicos” com os tão propalados “campeões nacionais”, associados à corrupção sistêmica no Brasil.

An important aspect of the education system is measuring student achievement and ability, which provides educators with critical insights into the extent to which students have mastered and comprehension of course learning objectives. Despite the various statistical assessments that have been introduced aimed at measuring the learning objectives of statistics, significant challenges and obstacles persist. This study aims to determine the factors that constitute the statistical perceived ability of the self-developed questionnaire using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The respondents of this study were 280 undergraduate students via convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods. The results of the EFA showed there are three underlying factor components of statistical perceived ability namely Statistical Literacy, Statistical Reasoning, and Statistical Thinking. These three components explained 73.3% of the total variance with the overall reliability of the instrument is 0.921. Apart from contributing further insight to the current literature on student assessment regarding statistical ability, the results also provide a reliable source of information to researchers for future research on statistical assessment practice skills in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that will make a meaningful contribution to statistics education.

The demand for materials with specific properties continues to grow in modern industry, necessitating a deeper understanding of metal solidification processes. This study investigates the thermal and microstructural characteristics of a novel multicomponent alloy, Al33wt%Cu1wt%Ni-1.2wt%Ta, which has not been previously reported in the literature. This alloy, comprising aluminum, copper, nickel and tantalum, exhibits superior mechanical strength, thermal stability and corrosion resistance compared to conventional alloys, making it suitable for various applications. Utilizing transient heat flow techniques, thermal characterization and microstructural analysis were performed on the alloy after solidification. Thermal mapping revealed variable growth and cooling rates along the ingot, influencing macrostructural transitions from columnar to equiaxed grains. Microstructural examination uncovered a complex evolution, with refined dendritic spacings initially, followed by the formation of intermetallic phases such as Al3Ta, α-Al and Al2Cu. The study also proposed a hypothesis on the formation of diamond-shaped intermetallics like Ni3Ta and Ta(Cu,Al)2, which were consumed to form Al7Cu4Ni at the edges. Secondary dendritic spacing analysis supported this hypothesis, showing correlation with growth laws. The findings provide valuable insights into solidification behavior and microstructural evolution, aiding in parameter optimization and enhancing the alloy’s properties for specific applications. However, limitations include the need for further research to explore mechanical and thermal properties and validate industrial potential.

Published: July 2024

Research with gravity data in the area of Semeru volcano has been undertaken. The study aims to determine the subsurface fault structure of the Semeru volcano by utilizing derivative analysis of gravity data anomalies. A comprehensive dataset of 1,929 measurement points, spaced 500 m apart, was analyzed to identify variations in the Bouguer anomaly. Complete Bouguer anomaly values ranged from 37 to 111 mGal. The contrast of Bouguer anomaly variations effectively delineates the boundaries of different rock formations: Mandalika, Wuni, Quarter Volcanic Semeru and Quarter Volcanic Jembangan. These formations are instrumental in causing significant variations in gravity anomalies, indicating an underlying geological structure. The derivative analysis, encompassing horizontal (FHD) and vertical (SVD) anomalies, unveiled a pronounced fault structure southeast of the Semeru crater, characterized by a NE-SW orientation. Advanced modeling, informed by residual anomaly incision lines and depth estimates derived from the radial spectrum, revealed a complex subsurface stratigraphy consisting of 5 types: Volcanic clastics, tuff, breccia, basaltic lava and andesitic lava. This research advances our understanding of the Semeru volcano’s subsurface architecture. It introduces an enhanced methodology for fault detection and characterization in volcanic areas, showcasing the potential of gravity data in geological investigations.

Authors: Chutinanthakun Katarut
Published: July 2024

Curcuma longa L. is a major bioactive constituent (curcumin) possessing various pharmacological properties. However, a major problem of turmeric crop production is bacteria wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum leading to a substantial reduction in yield and plant death. This research aims to induce mutation of turmeric cv. Trang2 by 8 MeV electron beam in vitro culture plantlets and to select the turmeric against bacterial wilt disease. Sixty-day-old in vitro culture plantlets were exposed to 0, 50, 100 and 150 Gy electron beams with a dose rate of 240 Gy/min, at the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (Public Organization), Thailand. To explore the potential of electron beam-sensitivity on survival and growth rate, unirradiated plantlets were used to normalize the radiation treatments. Plantlet survival was recorded to calculate the lethal dose (LD), and the number of new shoots was recorded to estimate the growth reduction dose (GR) through regression analysis.
The plantlets survival and growth rate were decreased over the accompanying cultured period together with increased radiation doses. At doses of 100 and 150 Gy, the turmeric plantlets were unable to produce new shoots. The median lethal dose was 58.6 Gy (LD50). A 50% growth reduction dose revealed at 45.3 Gy (GR50). Symptom severity ranged from 11.7% to 91.7%, demonstrating significantly lower levels in EBRTP-2 and EBRTP-4 M1V5 electron beam irradiated populations. Furthermore, the disease incidence was 33.3% in the EBRTP-6 population. This study, 3 irradiated M1V5 populations were isolated EBRTP-2, EBRTP-4 and EBRTP-6 from 50 Gy electron beam irradiation.

Socialisation citoyenne et représentations de l’altérité : apprendre à re-connaitre les points de vue des élèves avant d’ « éduquer à… »
Authors: Bergamaschi Alessandro
Published: July 2024

Dans cet article, nous avons formulé quelques réflexions à l’égard des manières d’éduquer les plus jeunes à un sentiment du « Nous » basé sur l’idée de diversité. Les approches pédagogiques descendantes sont questionnées en parallèle des approches plus horizontales et participatives. Le projet ANR Affirmatif nous a permis de mener une enquête quantitative sur les manières dont des élèves de lycée réagissent face aux enjeux posés par la migration humaine internationale, ainsi que les attentes qu’elles/ils nourrissent envers l’école en matière de socialisation citoyenne. Nous avons interrogé 1 300 jeunes fréquentant des lycées en Région PACA (M âge 16.7). Le cadre qui ressort est multidimensionnel : a) l’école ne semble pas vraiment un contexte de socialisation politique alors que les attentes des élèves en matière d’éducation à la diversité sont importantes, b) les questions posées par l’immigration internationale sont une donnée qui est bien inscrite dans leurs représentations de la société, malgré certains enjeux qu’elle suscite soient appréhendées par un œil craintif, c) l’adhésion aux valeurs républicaines génère des effets inattendus sur les préjugés et les représentations de la diversité. Dans la discussion, nous mettons en exergue l’importance de mener des actions d’éducation à la citoyenneté participatives et horizontales qui se fondent dans la reconnaissance sans préjugements des opinions et des représentations des élèves.
Hors du social, de la culture et du monde, mais pas hors de soi ni de l’entre-soi : comment une relation pédagogique peut ne pas être citoyenne ?
Authors: Sembel Nicolas
Published: July 2024

Comment former interculturellement à la citoyenneté ? La convergence internationale dans le domaine de la formation en faveur de l’interculturel, des questions vives (Legardez & Simmonneaux, 2011), des compétences, de la réflexivité (Joly, 2022 ; Lucy, 2023), s’inscrit dans le double panorama, plus large, plus ancien et plus universel, de l’articulation entre citoyenneté (Schnapper, 2000) et inégalités sociales (Bourdieu & Passeron, 1964, 1970 ; Lahire, et al., 2019). Partout, la citoyenneté devient alors perçue d’abord sous l’angle du risque systémique d’ethnocentrisme, moteur des inégalités en éducation, à neutraliser pour que puissent se développer de réelles compétences réflexives universelles à l’interculturel et, plus largement, à l’ensemble des questions vives à travers le monde. Notre exemple empirique est idéal-typique de la posture en développement des futur-es enseignant-es comme intellectuel-les professionnel-les. Leur ethnocentrisme réel ou potentiel de facto reste selon nous le principal obstacle à tout interculturalisme. La solution réside dans le modèle universel du rapport distancié à ce soi (Schön, 1994), contre un entre-soi empêchant toute sortie de soi synonyme de réflexivité, principal obstacle à une réelle formation, dont l’origine se trouve dans leur rapport à l’institution scolaire, qui favorise une citoyenneté d’entre soi coupée du social, de la culture et du monde.

LAMOTRIGINE OVERDOSE CAUSING SEIZURE AND APNEA WITH RAPID CLINICAL IMPROVEMENT: A CASE REPORT
Authors: Lizardo Kaitlyn , Brown Mackenzie , Ralston S Aaron
Published: July 2024

overdose on less than a month’s supply of low dose Lamotrigine can result in significant morbidity. In this case report, we detail the instance of a 25-year-old male who overdosed by consuming a 20- day supply of his prescribed lamotrigine, amounting to approximately 4 grams in total. The patient arrived approximately 90 minutes post-ingestion, displaying symptoms of nystagmus and mild fatigue. Within the subsequent two hours, seizures and apnea emerged, necessitating intubation. Effective treatment was administered, and the patient had symptom resolution within 12 hours. The patient’s symptoms correlated with the expected time to peak serum concentration; however, his rapid resolution is at odds with previously measured elimination half-lives of lamotrigine. This case contributes to the existing literature on a relatively uncommon but possibly rising overdose occurrence. It also emphasizes the clinical importance of delineating the trajectory of symptom manifestation and resolution and advocating for additional scrutiny of the anticipated clinical progression.

Effective wound management is crucial to ensure optimal healing, minimize complications, and improve patient outcomes. This case study focuses on the importance of controlling the wound environment, particularly in the context of managing bioburden, pH levels, moisture balance, and scar formation. Influencing the wound environment plays a pivotal role on wound responses, dressings and advanced therapies, time to heal, and ultimately, the healed outcome. Highlighted within this article are the special capabilities of a product using XBIO™ technology, and the significance of biofilm focused wound care.
Assessment of Reusing Gold Tailings as a Substitute for Natural Sand in Brick Making for Construction Materials in Tanzania
Authors: Alexander Marwa
Published: July 2024

Abstract: The mining industry, despite its contributions to the economy of many countries, including developing ones, has caused significant damage to the environment. In this study, gold tailings were used as a potential alternative for natural sand in brick manufacturing. The materials and bricks made from these materials were evaluated both mechanically and environmentally, through particle size distribution, water absorption, compressive strength, and leaching characteristics. The results showed that the particle size of gold tailings was less than 2 mm, with a high percentage of silicon dioxide (71.8%). The compressive strength of the bricks made from gold tailings replacements ranged from 11.67 to 22.33 MPa, with the most promising strength being in T25% replacement. In terms of environmental leaching, the study revealed that most gold tailings replacements did not show any metal leaching, and the levels of metals detected were significantly low. There fore, this study concluded that using gold tailings as a replacement for natural sand in construction industries is a viable and promising alternative. This practice can reduce the disposal of gold tailings on mine sites, contributing to a more sustainable mining industry

Few research has been done on the use of employee participation strategies in Nigerian higher education, especially when it comes to resolving the complaints of non-academic staff at public universities in Lagos State. The aforementioned amounts to a void that has caused an unaddressed loss of inclusivity. As a result, public university strikes and impasses in negotiations between the government and the Non-Teaching Staff (NTS) Union are typical. In light of the aforementioned context, this study looked at NTS's job satisfaction and employee participation policies in the public universities in Lagos State. 4,800 NTS from Lagos State University and the University of Lagos made up the study population. The study successfully collected 357 copies of the administered questionnaire using a survey research design and a multi-stage sampling technique. The results of the tested hypotheses demonstrated that non-teaching staff members' job satisfaction in Lagos State's public universities was insignificantly impacted by employee participation. The study comes to the conclusion that NTS employees' job satisfaction was insignificantly impacted by their participation. To quell the agitations of NTS, the study suggests that university management review their employee participation policies (i.e., participation in work planning, idea generation, welfare decision, goal setting, and involvement in suggesting improvement).

As one of the leading oil producers in the world, Nigeria's economy is profoundly influenced by fluctuations in global oil prices, affecting the government capacity to allocate resources on national healthcare system and its ability to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, as outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG-3). On this backdrop, this study has undertaken a comprehensive examination of both linear and non-linear relationship between oil price shocks and sustainable development in Nigeria, a country heavily reliant on oil revenue from 1970 to 2022 in Nigeria. Using linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) models, the findings show that increasing crude oil price shock has a substantially large adverse impact on SDG-3 in the short run while decreasing crude oil price has unobserved effect in both short and long-run when asymmetries were considered. Based on the findings of this study, Nigerian policymakers should expedite efforts to diversify its economy away from oil dependency. This diversification should focus on promoting sectors with growth potentials, creating jobs, and generating stable revenues to support healthcare and sustainable development initiatives. The study highlights other actionable insights and policies to navigate the challenges posed by oil price volatility while advancing the noble aspirations of SDG 3 for the people of Nigeria.
