Authors: Bardet Philippe , Schwarz Clemens
Published: May 2023

Profilometry using structured illumination

This seminar presents a profilometer to resolve liquid-gas interfaces in 3D space based on ray tracing and structured illumination. A camera, in the gas phase, observes the refraction of a regular fluorescent grid through a deformed liquid surface. A robust ray-tracing algorithm is implemented to reconstruct the 3D topography in front of the fluorescent grid. The latter is generated by Talbot-effect structured illumination. The vertical orientation of the structured illumination plane provides boundary conditions for the surface reconstruction and minimizes optical occlusions. The experimental technique and the profilometry algorithm will be presented in detail and illustrated with samples of reconstructed surfaces from a droplet impact on a deep pool.

Practical aspects of designing background-oriented schlieren (BOS) experiments for vortex measurements

Setup-related aspects of background-oriented schlieren (BOS) experiments are discussed focusing on a sensitivity parameter S, which represents the relation between light deflection and resulting BOS signal, and the geometric blur. An analytic expression for the geometric blur by means of the circle of confusion (CoC) was derived which shows a proportional relation to the sensitivity factor S. The theoretical findings were validated in a reference experiment using generic distortions in glass plates. It was found that the filtering effect of the blur decreases the maximum background shift and its influence can be expressed with a blur loss factor B, which depends on the size of the CoC in relation to the investigated object. Multiplying the setup sensitivity S with the blur loss B results in the effective sensitivity S_eff that determines the maximum achievable BOS signal of a schlieren object. For the investigated reference objects, the maximum effective sensitivity S_eff was found to occur at CoC sizes in the object domain from 2.5 to 3.8 times the extent of the investigated objects. A step-by-step method is proposed for designing BOS experiments to obtain a maximum signal strength. The design parameters are further discussed specifically in regard to rotor tip vortex visualization, for which a variety of previously reported experiments are compared. A simple prediction method for the BOS signal of blade tip vortices is proposed and validated with experimental data from a rotor test stand. The application of the method to rotor systems of different size shows the requirement for increasingly higher sensitivity values for visualizing vortices of small-scale rotors.
Economic Freedom and Social Mobility: What Does It mean for Puerto Rico?
Authors: Callais Justin T.
Published: May 2023

Social and income mobility has become a hot topic among social scientists and policymakers. Few, though, have examined the role of economic freedom in explaining differences in mobility. I summarize my work showing that economic freedom has a strong impact on improving mobility. I discuss the implications of these findings for Puerto Ricans. Puerto Rico scores relatively well in the regulatory aspects of economic freedom; however, fixing the barriers regarding registering and transferring property, overly burdensome taxes, and overall tax compliance is important. Addressing these obstacles can help progress the outlook for Puerto Ricans and increase their chances of having better opportunities than the generations before them.

Published: May 2023

Amongst the most frequent illnesses in civilised nations of West is chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). It is believed that 40-50 percent of all individuals have superficial venous insufficiency of the leg, which manifests primarily as varicose veins. Individuals with varicose veins typically complain of leg pain at the conclusion of the day following extended walking. Ankle edoema, itch, hemorrhage, superficial thrombophelibitis, dermatitis, lipodermatosclerosis, and open wounds are some of the additional manifestations. Methods: In this cross sectional study, conducted at the surgical floor, Mayo Hospital, Lahore. Varicose veins were defined as dilated, tortuous, subcutaneous veins usually seen in upright posture. Any case of suspected chronic venous insufficiency was assessed on clinical examination by unbiased consultant surgeon. The severity of varicose vein was assessed by clinical grading from CEAP (Clinical-Etiological-Anatomical-Pathophysiological) system in which there are six classes. Results: Patients in our study were mostly males; male to female ratio of patients of varicose veins is 3:1, most of the male patients had class 2 or class 5; Association of class of varicose veins and gender was also insignificant (p-value calculated for the class of varicose veins and gender was 0.25). Conclusion: In our study population, male patients suffered worse than female patients. The occurrence rate was comparable between people of different ages. There was a higher prevalence of varicose veins in classes 2 and 3. To further understand the causes of varicose veins, larger-scale studies focusing on female gender-related risk factors and occupation-related risk factors are needed. Additional measures, such as patient education, can aid in lowering the frequency of varicose veins. Keywords: Varicose Veins, DVTs, Ankle edema, Thrombophelibitis, lipodermatosclerosis

Published: May 2023

Objective: To compare surgical outcome of polypropylene suture and skin staples for securing mesh in Lichtenstein Inguinal Hernioplasty Methodology: There were a total of two hundred people with an inguinal hernia who were involved in the study. They were randomly randomized to receive either polypropylene mesh or staples. Each patient voluntarily undergoes a Lichtenstein tension-free inguinal hernioplasty at the THQ Kherpur operating room. This procedure is performed under spinal anesthesia, and rigorous hygiene standards are adhered to throughout the procedure. In Group A, the anchorage of the mesh was conducted using 2/0 polypropylene suture, whereas in Group B, the anchorage of the mesh was accomplished using skin staples. Both methods were successful in achieving the desired results. The operating time, total surgical time, and wound infection rates were all compared between the groups. Results: The common age in cases of Group-X 36.52+9.41 years, and 38.63+8.76 years in Group B cases. Mean postoperative pain was 2.16+1.98 in Group-X and 1.46+1.24 in Group-Y, both of which had p values of 0.0001. Mean postoperative duration in Group-X was 56.7+5.47 and 48.54+4.38 in Group-Y, both of which had p values of 0.0001. The percentage of patients who had a post-operative wound infection was reported as 22 (22%) in Group-X and 6 (6% in Group-Y), whereas 78 (78%) in Group-X and 94 (94%) in Group-Y did not develop an infection; the p value for this comparison was 0.0011. Conclusion: When performing a Lichtenstein inguinal hernioplasty, anchoring the mesh with skin staples rather than polypropylene suture results in a reduction in both the average amount of time needed for the operation as well as the amount of postoperative pain experienced by the patient. Keywords: Inguinal Hernioplasty, skin staples, polypropylene suture, outcome

Published: May 2023

Statement of Problem: Patients undergoing chemotherapy has been struggling long with side effects on tissues which were not targeted for therapy. Chemotherapeutic agents Doxorubicin (DOX) used in this study induced testicular damage, had been a major concern of oncologists for decades. Studies so far has more focus on the adverse impact of drug on germ cells and very few observed its effect on Leydig cell secreting testosterone. To date few studies are available that have used antioxidant therapy like vitamin C to assuage the oxidative damage induced by DOX on supporting cell like Leydig. Objectives: To demonstrate the altered numbers of Leydig cells produced by DOX in testes of mice and designed to study the changes in quantity of Leydig cells in DOX affected interstitial cells with co-administration of antioxidant ascorbic acid. Research Design: An experimental study to determine the effect of dox on testicular leydig cells and to assess the ameliorating effects of vitamin c on it. Duration of Study: This study was conducted from June 2022 to February 2023 Place of Study: Research was conducted at Dow university of health sciences (DUHS) Karachi at institute of basic medical sciences with collaboration of its animal house and Dow Diagnostic Research and Reference Lab DUHS. Sampling technique: The samples were chosen randomly. In this experiment drugs used include doxorubicin hydrochloride, vitamin c and normal saline on 6th, 8th and 10th day of the study. Methodology: Male mice of five weeks old were segregated into 3 groups. Group- A mice were treated with normal saline, DOX alone was given to group- B animals and DOX + Vitamin C to group- C. At the end of experimental study, testes of sacrificed animals were preserved in Bouin’s fluid and later processing, staining etc. were performed. Results and Statistical Analysis: By using SPSSS version 16, statistical analysis was done, using ANOVA test to evaluate the significance of parameter among different groups studied. Widening of interstitium with significant Leydig hyperplasia (P < 0.00) as compared to controls were seen in group B However co-administration of Vitamin C with DOX significantly decrease was observed in comparison to Group A. Practical Implications: The practical implications of this study for the community are that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can potentially benefit from co-administration of vitamin C to reduce the adverse effects on testicular tissue, which may help preserve fertility and hormone production. Improving the quality of life for cancer patients by providing an accessible and potentially effective way to manage chemotherapy-induced side effects. Conclusion: This study suggested that the antioxidant Vitamin C has a role in ameliorating the effects produced by DOX on testis by showing change in altered quantity of leydig cell. Keywords: Doxorubicin, Vitamin C, Mice, Antioxidant, Leydig cells

Published: May 2023

Engajamento nos estudos é um tema emergente e central para aprimorar o processo ensino-aprendizagem. Fundamentado na perspectiva da psicologia positiva e originado no ambiente de trabalho, o engajamento é formado por três dimensões: vigor, dedicação e absorção. Ao considerar esses aspectos, estudantes engajados têm mais iniciativa e entusiasmo para enfrentar e superar os desafios acadêmicos. Nessa perspectiva, o objetivo deste estudo é comparar a intensidade do engajamento acadêmico entre estudantes satisfeitos e insatisfeitos com o Ensino Remoto de Emergência (ERE). A pesquisa, realizada no estado do Pará, empregou metodologia na forma de survey descritiva e transversal com a utilização do Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, na versão para estudantes (UWES-S-17). A amostra foi probabilística aleatória simples e contou com 252 questionários válidos. O tratamento dos dados foi quantitativo e utilizou técnicas descritivas, correlacionais e teste de hipóteses. Os resultados mostraram elevada consistência interna e o teste de hipóteses (Teste T) possibilitou identificar diferenças significativas no engajamento de estudantes satisfeitos (33,73%) e insatisfeitos (66,27%) com o Ensino Remoto de Emergência (ERE). As conclusões recomendam, além do aprofundamento dos estudos, a necessidade de estratégias que contribuam para equilibrar demandas acadêmicas e os recursos disponíveis para os estudantes e, assim, fortalecer o engajamento dos estudantes.

Published: May 2023

Landslide, one of the natural disasters that often occur, especially in areas that have moderate to high slopes. Imogiri is a sub-district located in Bantul Regency. This sub-district has a percentage of relief of flat to wavy by 30% and relief of wavy to hilly by 70% with a predominantly clay texture. Therefore, Imogiri is included in an area that prones to landslides. In a history of disaster BPBD Bantul explained that there are several areas in Imogiri Subdistrict such as Village of Wukirsari, Sriharjo, Selopamioro, and Karangtengah which are in the red zone. According to the BPBD, in Bantul there were more than 2.000 people living in the red zone. Based on this statement, this study aims to analyze the areas in Imogiri Subdistrict which have low to high landslide hazard levels, as well as analyze the level of social and economic vulnerability of the people living in Imogiri Subdistrict, especially areas with potential landslides. The results obtained from this study in the form of landslide vulnerability maps, social vulnerability maps, and economic vulnerability maps. Based on the map, it can be analyzed that the Imogiri has a moderate level of landslide vulnerability, while the level of social and economic vulnerability in some areas shows a high level of vulnerability. This is influenced by population density, type of work, and its relationship with the level of landslide vulnerability in the areas.

Research on the Impact of Technological Talent Loss in High tech Enterprises on the Construction of Enterprise Talent Teams
Authors: Liu Xu
Published: May 2023

Talent is a key factor driving profit growth and the core capital of enterprises. Therefore, attracting and retaining talent is crucial for enterprises. However, against the backdrop of a shortage of talent, a large-scale wave of talent mobility has emerged. The consequence is that talent flows frequently between enterprises, accelerating the turnover of talent, resulting in a proportional loss of funds and resources, which affects the survival and development of the enterprise. Therefore, this article studies the impact of technological talent loss in high-tech enterprises on the construction of enterprise talent teams. High tech enterprises in different industries have different industry life cycles, and the impact on core talent loss in high-tech enterprises is also different. Brain drain has no benefits for business operations, whether in the short or long term. So the inability to retain, utilize, and motivate talents has become a common challenge faced by domestic high-tech enterprises. However, in order for enterprises to retain outstanding talents, it is necessary to improve the overall satisfaction of employees.
Research on the Influential Mechanism of RMB Exchange Rate on China's Export and Import Trade
Authors: Shi Ruoyu
Published: May 2023

Exchange rate (ExRate), as an economic lever, plays a role in price conversion in international cross-border trade activities, reflecting the relative prices of international commodity factors, and playing a connecting role in domestic and international markets. This is the most effective way to regulate international economic competition. The issue of the RMB ExRate has always been a focus of widespread attention, and its floating elasticity is gradually expanding. The influence of export trade is also intensifying with ExRate fluctuations. In today's world of economic globalization and regional economic integration, the economic integration between countries is becoming increasingly strong. Foreign trade plays a crucial part in a country's national economy, and the fluctuation of the RMB ExRate in China's foreign trade has a significant influence. ExRate fluctuations are an important factor affecting international trade, and how to respond to the influence of RMB ExRate fluctuations on China's export and import (exim) trade is a problem that we must pay attention to.

Authors: Chen Peng , Xiang Juan
Published: May 2023

Chivalrous swordsman culture is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, with the development of the film and television industry, the connotation and extension of chivalrous swordsman culture have been expanding, which has distinct features and times value. However, overall, ancient Chinese chivalrous swordsman culture has distinct historical limitations, which partly has a certain negative impact on modern society. In the current Chinese film and television, elements of chivalrous swordsman are integrated into them in quantity, which has both rich cultural connotation and artistic value, and also affects the improvement of the innovation of the current film and television. Especially in the context of the creation of today's chivalrous swordsman film and television with a single theme and backward character shaping, the thinking of chivalrous swordsman culture needs further strengthening, reasonably applying the chivalrous swordsman cultural context to the creation of film and television, and innovating the cultural connotation of modern Chinese film and television. Therefore, this paper explores the connotation of Chinese chivalrous swordsman culture based on in-depth analysis of chivalrous swordsman culture and the spirit of chivalrous swordsman image, and explores the innovation paths of current Chinese film and television in the context of chivalrous swordsman culture in combination with the development trend of current Chinese film and television, so as to better bring guidance for the improvement of the connotation level of chivalrous swordsman spirit in film and television.

A comparative study was conducted on plant diversity in Panchayat forests and their adjoining reserve forests of three Districts, viz., Pauri, Chamoli and Rudraprayag Districts of Garhwal Himalaya since April 2003 to December 2004. Total 15 sites were studied which were extending from 840 to 2000 m asl. Extensive pure or mixed Oak and Pine forests characterized most of the sites. Major associations of Quercus leucotrichophora were Rododendron, Myrica esculenta and Lyonia ovalifolia. The species richness was slightly higher in Panchayat forests than adjoining reserve forests. Tree, shrub and herb density/ha was found almost higher in all the reserve forests among all the altitudinal ranges except herb density/ha which was comparatively higher between 1300 to 1800 m asl in Panchayat forests. The species diversity was also higher in reserve forests and follow the trend as Herb > Tree > Shrub.

Aim of study: To determine the amount of diversity in pea breeding materials with the objective to classify a set of potential parents carrying novel/economic variations that could be used in future breed pea varieties. Area of study: ICAR–Indian Institute of Vegetable Research, Varanasi. Material and methods: A total of 45 pea accessions were analysed for phenotypic and molecular diversity using 17 agro-morphological traits and 52 SSR markers. Main results: All traits under investigation showed considerable genetic variation. The genotypes exhibited 6.7, 2.7 and 12-fold variation for traits viz., pods/plant, 10-pod weight and yield/plant, respectively. Among 52 SSR markers, 22 were found to be polymorphic. A total of 90 allelic variants were detected, with an average of 2.7 alleles/locus. PIC and D-values for markers AA135 (0.79 and 0.81) and PSMPSAD51 (0.7 and 0.74) were the highest, while AB40 (0.19 and 0.2) had the lowest. Two principal components PC1 and PC2 explained 46.96 and 23.96% of total variation, respectively. The clustering based on agro-morphological traits differentiated 45 individuals into three mega clusters, while SSR markers-based clustering classified these accessions into four groups. Research highlights: Based on their uniqueness, we identified a set of genotypes (VRPD-2, VRPD-3, PC-531, ‘Kashi Nandini’, ‘Kashi Udai’, ‘Kashi Mukti’, ‘Arkel’, VRPE-101, ‘Azad Pea-3’, EC865944, VRPM-901 and VRP-500) harbouring genes for various economic traits. The findings presented here will be extremely useful to breeders who are working on improvement of peas through selective introgression breeding.

Pediatric patients with unstable radius-ulna fracture can be treated with intramedullary Kirschner wire fixation. Objective: To determine the functional outcome of Intramedullary Kirschner Wire fixation in unstable radius-ulna fractures in children. Methods: All pediatric age patients were enrolled into the study with unstable radius and ulna fracture. Informed consent was taken before study. Proper history, examination and X-rays of the forearm was taken after taking consent from the guardian of the patient. Under general anesthesia and tourniquet, control radius was first fixed through a small volar incision by drilling a k wire at fracture site in radius so that the wire exits on the dorsolateral side of the radius. The fracture was than reduced and the wire tapped with hammer to the radial head. Similarly, ulna was fixed by first drilling the wire up to the olecranon process and after reduction of the fracture down to the styloid process. After checking stability both bones, both wounds were washed with normal saline and closed in reverse order and above elbow cast was applied for three to four weeks. Results: In this study, as per functional outcomes, 5(4.0%) patients had good outcome, 80(64%) patients had excellent outcomes whereas 40(32%) patients had poor outcomes. Conclusions: This study demonstrates excellent functional outcome of Intramedullary Kirschner Wire fixation in unstable both bone forearm fractures in children.
Seroma Formation after Mastectomy with or without Thoracoabdominal Binder – A Randomized Control Trial
Authors: Maryam Essa Alfard , Shereya Devendra
Published: May 2023

The study’s main objective is to reduce seroma production post-mastectomy with the help of using thoracoabdominal binders. The randomized controlled trial (RCT) included patients (No=40) that received breast surgery. They were divided into two groups; the control group (No=20) was the one that did Not use the binders, and the study group (No=20), complied with adorning the thoracoabdominal binder for two weeks post-breast surgery. The drainage of both breasts and axillary drains was examined during this duration. The amount of drainage was Noted, and charts were created on that basis. A total of 40 patients initially became a part of this trial, equally divided into two groups of 20 patients each. All of the participants of this group had undergone breast surgery (either mastectomy or MRM) and had to appear for the follow-up examination 2-3 weeks post-surgery. In these follow-up meetings in the outpatient clinic, the drainage charts were maintained, including the levels of drain output and compliance rate of the thoracoabdominal binder group; some patients were excluded from the study due to exclusion criteria.There was No difference between both groups in the drainage output, thus imposing No major impact of thoracoabdominal binders on seroma reduction. Other implications of binders in breast care post-surgery were explored to add to the positive effects of binders. This suggests that more studies need to be done to find the best management methods for postoperative seroma formation.
Thyroid hormones and FSH, LH, and prolactin correlation in infertility in women of reproductive age
Authors: Shaherawala Jigar , Mangukiya Ketan
Published: May 2023

Background: In the assessment of female infertility, prolactin and thyroid hormone measures, notably thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), have been regarded as essential milestones. Numerous elements of pregnancy and reproduction are impacted by thyroid dysfunction.

Aims and Objective: To compare the levels of thyroid hormones with those of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin in women of reproductive age who are infertile.

Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 50 fertile women between the ages of 20 and 45 are compared to 110 infertile women who visit our institute’s Gynec OPD. There were 110 infertile women, of which 40 had secondary infertility and 70 had primary infertility. Using chemiluminance immunoassay, the levels of thyroid hormones and infertility hormones are assessed in all individuals.

Results: TSH and prolactin had a favorable correlation with one another. In groups of infertile women, they had a negative correlation with LH, FSH, and T3. Therefore, we can conclude that the etiopathogenesis of infertility is strongly influenced by hyperprolactinemia and hypothyroidism.

Conclusion: Hypothyroidism is highly prevalent in infertile females in the current study. Menstrual abnormalities brought on by these illnesses may result in infertility. In addition connected to hyperprolactinemia, these individuals frequently experience ovulatory failure. Therefore, the evaluation of serum TSH and prolactin levels is necessary for all infertile women to undergo, especially those who report with menstrual abnormalities.
Simple rules made simple: The origins and outcomes of managerial heuristics
Authors:   , Atanasiu Radu-Constantin
Published: May 2023

Managers distill their lessons from failure into proverb-like simple rules heuristics such as ‘hire for attitude, not for skills,’ simple rules which they hold dear, refine continuously, and share to their teams and organizations. But how exactly do managers learn these rules? And why - what are the outcomes of creating and using them?
This dissertation addresses the how? and the why? symmetrically, with four studies, a conceptual one and an empirical one for each question. It describes how managers learn pairs of simple rules through a complex process that involves a triple insight, reflection, and a roller-coaster of feelings. After being articulated, tested, adapted, and refined, these simple rules are often shared through formal or informal communication and adopted as guidelines (under expert authority) or as policies (under hierarchical or collective authority). While most managerial simple rules are pragmatic, designed to help the manager with hiring, selecting clients or managing finances, some simple rules play crucial roles in the self-driven individual change of the manager, often from micromanaging to delegating and trusting people.
