Importance of different electronic medical record components for chronic disease identification in a Swiss primary care database: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Meier Rahel , Grischott Thomas , Rachamin Yael , Jäger Levy , Senn Oliver , Rosemann Thomas , Burgstaller Jakob M. , Markun Stefan
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Primary care databases collect electronic medical records with routine data from primary care patients. The identification of chronic diseases in primary care databases often integrates information from various electronic medical record components (EMR-Cs) used by primary care providers. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of selected chronic conditions using a large Swiss primary care database and to examine the importance of different EMR-Cs for case identification.
METHODS: Cross-sectional study with 120,608 patients of 128 general practitioners in the Swiss FIRE (“Family Medicine Research using Electronic Medical Records”) primary care database in 2019. Sufficient criteria on three individual EMR-Cs, namely medication, clinical or laboratory parameters and reasons for encounters, were combined by logical disjunction into definitions of 49 chronic conditions; then prevalence estimates and measures of importance of the individual EMR-Cs for case identification were calculated.
RESULTS: A total of 185,535 cases (i.e. patients with a specific chronic condition) were identified. Prevalence estimates were 27.5% (95% CI: 27.3–27.8%) for hypertension, 13.5% (13.3–13.7%) for dyslipidaemia and 6.6% (6.4–6.7%) for diabetes mellitus. Of all cases, 87.1% (87.0–87.3%) were identified via medication, 22.1% (21.9–22.3%) via clinical or laboratory parameters and 19.3% (19.1–19.5%) via reasons for encounters. The majority (65.4%) of cases were identifiable solely through medication. Of the two other EMR-Cs, clinical or laboratory parameters was most important for identifying cases of chronic kidney disease, anorexia/bulimia nervosa and obesity whereas reasons for encounters was crucial for identifying many low-prevalence diseases as well as cancer, heart disease and osteoarthritis.
CONCLUSIONS: The EMR-C medication was most important for chronic disease identification overall, but identification varied strongly by disease. The analysis of the importance of different EMR-Cs for estimating prevalence revealed strengths and weaknesses of the disease definitions used within the FIRE primary care database. Although prioritising specificity over sensitivity in the EMR-C criteria may have led to underestimation of most prevalences, their sex- and age-specific patterns were consistent with published figures for Swiss general practice.
Perspective Chapter: Fatigue of Materials
Authors: Khalifeh Alireza
Published: October 2023

This chapter deals with the fatigue fracture of the materials under cyclic loadings. Components of structures and machines may be subjected to cyclic loads and the resulting cyclic stress that can lead to microscopic physical damage and fracture of the materials involved. It has been seen at a stress well below the ultimate strength, this microscopic damage can accumulate under action of cyclic loadings until it develops into a crack that leads to final separation of the component. In addition, the material inherently has cracks and other microscopic defects that grow due to cyclic loads and lead to fracture of machine or structure parts. The failures are more often sudden, unpredictable and catastrophic which may occur after a short period of design life. The main objective in writing this chapter is to present scientific findings and relevant engineering practice involving materials fatigue failures.
Effect of Non-Traditional Supplementary Cementitious Materials in Concrete
Authors: Johnson Alengaram Ubagaram
Published: October 2023

Fly ash, silica fume, metakaolin and ground granulated blast furnace slag, etc. have been established as traditional supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) and cement replacement materials; however, other alternate materials such as palm oil fuel ash (POFA), palm oil clinker powder (POCP), eco-processed pozzolan (EPP) and rice husk ash (RHA) have emerged as non-traditional materials that would take a role in replacing some of those established SCM. With a closure of most of the coal-operated power plants and imminent closure of more plants, the search for alternate materials is on the rise. Thus, it is mandatory for the researchers and cement manufacturers to invest more time and efforts to apply sustainable development goals (SDG) on the replacement of virgin materials to achieve low-carbon materials. The suitability and the effect of the above-mentioned non-traditional materials are detailed and discussed. The oxide composition, particle size and shapes through multiple tests and investigations are outlined. The plentiful availability of such non-traditional materials not only paves way for more research interest, but a genuine means of execution of plans to vigorously utilize those materials. The concrete quality on using such materials such as pore refinement, creation of additional C–S–H and dilution effects has been discussed.
Quantifying Spasticity: A Review
Authors: Ósk Kristinsdóttir Kristjana , Ruipérez-Campillo Samuel , Helgason Þórður
Published: October 2023

A precise method to measure spasticity is fundamental in improving the quality of life of spastic patients. The measurement methods that exist for spasticity have long been considered scarce and inadequate, which can partly be explained by a lack of consensus in the definition of spasticity. Spasticity quantification methods can be roughly classified according to whether they are based on neurophysiological or biomechanical mechanisms, clinical scales, or imaging techniques. This article reviews methods from all classes and further discusses instrumentation, dimensionality, and EMG onset detection methods. The objective of this article is to provide a review on spasticity measurement methods used to this day in an effort to contribute to the advancement of both the quantification and treatment of spasticity.
MODELING OF THE LITHOSPHERE IN THE WHITE SEA REGION USING DECOMPOSITION OF ANOMALOUS GRAVITATIONAL AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
Authors: Belashev B. Z. , Bakunovich L. I. , Sharov N. V.
Published: October 2023

The research area includes the White Sea and adjacent land located in the junction zone of the eastern part of the Fennoscandian Shield and the Russian Plate. The purpose of the study is to construct a model of the lithospheric structure of the region using decomposition of anomalous gravitational and magnetic fields and inverse problem solving for components of gravity and magnetic fields, respectively. The decompositions of the fields were provided by the singular spectral method in the software package "R 4.3.1". The inverse problems were solved using the programs of the "Integro" complex. The components of the fields help to identify and analyze buried geological structures. The rift system of the White Sea is most clearly represented by the fourth component of the gravitational and magnetic fields. The positions of density and magnetic inhomogeneities of the Earth’s crust corresponding the components of the fields have been determined. The component model is compared with the seismic density and magnetic models of the lithosphere along the 3-AР geotraverse (Kem – White Sea Throat).
TECTONIC STRESSES IN THE CHERSKY FAULT ZONE (BAIKAL RIFT SYSTEM
Authors: Cheremnykh A. V. , Dekabryov I. A.
Published: October 2023

Based on the kinematic and structural-paragenetic approaches, there were performed the reconstructions of tectonic stresses in the Chersky fault zone. Rank analysis as applied to specialized mapping of fault zones was made for heterochronous rock complexes: Paleozoic, Upper Oligocene – Lower Pliocene and Upper Pliocene – Quaternary. There are distinguished three regional stress fields: Pre-Cenozoic compressive stress field with the NW-SE striking principal axis and two Cenozoic tensile stress fields with different axial orientations. The Cenozoic tensile stress field with a sub-meridionally striking minimum compression axis may be an earlier occurrence because it was found to exist in the Paleozoic and Oligocene – Early Pliocene rocks, and the tensile stress field, with the NW-SE axial orientation, may be later occurrence as reconstructed for all rock complexes including Quaternary pebbles. No evidence was found of tectonic shear stresses within the studied segment of the Chersky fault zone. Consideration is being given to probable reasons for the absence of residual shear deformations in the region and to the problems in the study of hierarchy of the upper crustal tectonic stresses.

Authors: Guarner Jeannette , Smith Geoffrey H. , Alter David N. , Williams Cecellitha J. , Cole Lisa , Campbell Davette G. , Elsea Suzanne M. , Reynolds Stacian , Lawrence Christine
Published: October 2023

Context.—

Urinalysis instrument–specific dip strips offer physicians qualitative results for actionable analytes (protein, glucose, leukocyte esterase, nitrates, hemoglobin, and ketones).

Objective.—

To explain a strategy implemented to support clinical decision-making by providing urine quantification of protein, glucose, white blood cells (WBCs), and red blood cells because of urine strip shortages.

Design.—

During shortages, we implemented an automated algorithm that triggered sending urine samples to the automation line for quantification of protein and glucose and ensured that urine microscopy was performed to obtain WBC and red blood cell counts. The algorithm printed 2 labels so nursing staff would collect 2 specimens. We monitored the turnaround time from the specimen being received in the laboratory to result verification, ensured that the culture reflex order was triggered, and tracked complaints by physicians regarding not having usual urinalysis results. Prior to implementation, correlation between sample types for protein and glucose measurement was found acceptable.

Results.—

The algorithm was put in place twice during 2022. The turnaround time of urine microscopic study was identical to that obtained when the urinalysis was done with the strips; however, the quantification of glucose and protein took approximately 30 minutes more. Urine reflex cultures were triggered correctly with the algorithm, as they were derived entirely from a WBC count higher than 10 per high-power field. During the shortage period we had only 1 complaint, by a physician wanting to have results of nitrates.

Conclusions.—

During urine strip shortages, we successfully implemented a diversion algorithm that provided actionable urinalysis analytes in a timely manner with minimal provider complaints.

FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLED STATCOM WITH A SERIES COMPENSATED TRANSMISSION LINE ANALYSIS
Authors: AROCKIARAJ SESAIYA , MANIKANDAN BAIRAVAN VEERAYAN , BHUVANESH ANANTHAN
Published: October 2023

The integration of wind farms with transmission networks exhibits several problems. The sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) plays a vital role in those issues, and it must be reduced. Two effective flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) based voltage control devices, namely static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) and static compensator (STATCOM) are proposed in this paper to mitigate the SSR. Detailed eigenvalue analysis was conducted to prove the successful mitigation of SSR by two controllers in a series of compensated wind farms. To find the dominant control scheme, the eigenvalues of the proposed controllers are compared with PSCAD/EMTDC simulations. Finally, a comparison study is carried out between the two proposed SSR controllers.Further, the fuzzy logic control based on STATCOM and SSSC is also developed to enhance the stability margin of the wind turbine. The results have been validated with the IEEE 1st SSR benchmark system. From the results, it is proven that Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) based SSSC exhibits better performance than STATCOM.
A NEW HYBRID MODEL TO EVALUATE THE LOSS OF LIFE OF POWER TRANSFORMERS
Authors: LEU BOGDAN , SERIȚAN GEORGE , ENACHE BOGDAN
Published: October 2023

Following the thermal model for assessing the degradation of transformer units, as advocated by IEEE and IEC standards, existing literature posits that the transformers do not exhibit significant aging at hot-spot temperatures below 90°C. Contrary to this prevailing understanding, the current study demonstrates that when using a model based on insulation resistance measurements, discernible aging of transformers occurs even at these lower hot-spot temperature thresholds. Consequently, this paper introduces a novel evaluative hybrid model for transformer degradation, designed to be applicable across the entire range of hot-spot operational temperatures.

Published: October 2023

The Hănțilă method has proven its effectiveness in solving non-linear three-phase circuits. It is the only effective method for analyzing non-linear three-phase circuits containing machines with different sequence reactances. Since solving a system of equations is unnecessary, the computational effort is reduced, and a large number of harmonics can be considered. The convergence of the method is certain - demonstrated mathematically and allows the use of overrelaxation. To develop the method, we analyze the efficiency of computing a dynamic overrelaxation factor for accelerating the computational algorithm.

Gerade die Nutzer, die Verbraucher sind bei der letzten Reform des Urheberrechts abermals einseitig unter die Räder gekommen. Dieser Ruf hallt nun schon beständig nicht nur durch die digitale Welt.

The science journal is generally acknowledged as first appearing around 1665 with the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in London and (simultaneously) the French Academy of Sciences in Paris. By the turn of the millennium, around 10,000 science and medical journals were estimated to exist.
The Chirality of Lemniscular Octaphyrins
Authors: Rzepa Henry
Published: October 2023

In the previous post,  it was noted that  Möbius annulenes are intrinsically chiral, and should therefore in principle be capable of resolution into enantiomers. The synthesis of such an annulene by Herges and co-workers was a racemic one; no attempt was reported at any resolution into such enantiomers. Here theory can help, since calculating the optical rotation [α]D is nowadays a relatively reliable process for rigid molecules.

Surface Roughness Modification Methods For AM Heat Exchangers Applications
Authors: Colaneri A. , El Sayed Y. M. , Fransesini L. , Lionetti S. , Sciarrabba F. , Romeo P. , Burattini C. , Pispola G.
Published: October 2023

The effect of surface roughness on heat transfer capacity is still an active research area in the sector of heat exchanger manufacturing. Management of roughness is important because on one hand it has been demonstrated that a rough surface can increase the heat exchange, when this value is comparable to the height of the laminar layer, and on the other hand increasing surface roughness increase pressure drop which can reduce the performance of the heat exchanger. AM allows for the production of components with complex geometry (e.g. heat exchangers with internal cooling channels) but also with high surface roughness; thus it is necessary to refine the final product in order to reduce and optimize this aspect. The possibility of applying surface treatment methods to internal cooling channels of different dimensions in AlSi7Mg components obtained through Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology is studied. The application of tumbling and electropolishing (ECP) is evaluated through an experimental campaign. Different tumbling and ECP conditions are applied with the aim of evaluating the penetration effect of the treatment into the channels of the component.
A New Measure to Predict Maximum Reusability of Virgin Powder in Powder Bed AM
Authors: Rahimi E. , Birley R. , Fennell C.
Published: October 2023

The reuse of metal powder is an essential step to make the powder bed fusion (PBF) process cost-effective; therefore, understanding the capability of virgin powder is of high importance. Not all the powder is used to make parts in a PBF process. A significant proportion of the un-used powder is collected during de-powdering of the final part. This proportion and a small proportion in the waste chamber can be sieved for reuse. In this research, powder samples were reused until their flowability was below the acceptable level for re-coating. Before every process, morphology, size and flowability were evaluated using the index that was developed in the previous research presented at WorldPM2022 [1]. The index was modified based on the alloy type and reusability aspects and it has been proposed to predict the maximum reusability of virgin powder on the condition that acceptable flowability, morphological distributions and mechanical properties are maintained.
Kedudukan dan Kekuatan Hukum Surat Edaran Mahkamah Agung (Sema) Dalam Hukum Positif Indonesia

Published: October 2023

The legal products of the Supreme Court are not the same as laws. If the law does not understand or regulate something, the Supreme Court can issue policy regulations based on its authority. However, such a thing is not always done. For example, in 1963 the Supreme Court issued Circular Letter Number 3, which effectively canceled a number of Articles in the BW because it was considered unfair. . Researchers use normative research methods to obtain relevant material and explanations for the formulation of the problem as well as to obtain research-based understanding and explanations raised. Normative research is a type of research conducted through a review of literature (secondary sources). The type of normative research chosen is normative juridical, because the starting point of this research is to use legal norms or existing laws and regulations to analyze the problem under study. The results show that the Position and Strength of the Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) in the legal system in Indonesia is recognized outside the hierarchy of laws and regulations and has binding legal force in accordance with the words of Article 8 Paragraph (1) and (2) of Law no. 12 of 2011

O território como episteme de resistência à colonialidade
Authors: Alencar Paulo Gustavo de , Espindola Giovana Mira de , Sousa Maria Sueli Rodrigues de , Assis Raimundo Jucier Sousa de
Published: October 2023

Esse estudo objetiva analisar o conceito de território como um conhecimento indispensável para a resistência dos povos do campo, de comunidades e povos tradicionais. Tem como base epistêmica o pensamento de fronteira e a pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e entrevistas como bases metodológicas. Analisa como a desvalorização dos vínculos territoriais dos outros povos para ocultação de sua importância, fundadas nas diferenças étnicas e raciais, num sentido de interferência na produção de conhecimento. Destaca a importância da implantação da territorialidade dominante do colonizador, ancorada na subjetividade da terra como mercadoria, para a colonialidade da natureza. Busca elucidar a correlação da gestão fundiária com a colonialidade e sua interrelação com as categorias míticas que revitalizam a complexa colonização do imaginário dos povos inferiorizados para o seu controle.  Analisa conceitos e exemplos que têm ancorado a resistência no sentido oposto da colonialidade, rumo à decolonialidade ou à contra colonização. Destaca a importância do território como lócus epistêmico e aponta para importância conceitual de território como uma base para a resistência de diversos povos e populações do campo na América Latina.
A (re)produção do espaço popular sob a lógica socioespacial fragmentária: o caso de Presidente Prudente-SP
Authors: Nagib Gustavo , Nakayama Katia Atsumi
Published: October 2023

Aborda-se, neste artigo, a (re)produção do espaço popular sob a lógica socioespacial fragmentária, que se sobrepõe e ressignifica a anterior lógica dual centro-periférica. Foca-se na questão da habitação popular no Brasil para além da materialização de bairros-dormitório nas periferias urbanas, vislumbrando-se ampliar e atualizar a compreensão sobre a proliferação de condomínios fechados verticais. Enfatiza-se, na análise, o caso de Presidente Prudente, cidade média localizada no estado de São Paulo. A pesquisa, em que se apoia este artigo, embasou-se em extensa revisão bibliográfica e em entrevistas com moradores de condomínios verticais populares, financiados pelo Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida (PMCMV). Tais entrevistas compõem um conjunto maior de registros produzidos por uma pesquisa mais ampla sobre o processo de fragmentação socioespacial, por este motivo, efetuou-se, aqui, um recorte que pudesse embasar notadamente a análise sobre a (re)produção do espaço popular prudentino, identificando a valorização da tipologia de condomínios fechados, enquanto empreendimento habitacional para as faixas de renda do PMCMV, e as mudanças relacionadas às práticas cotidianas dos citadinos.
