Published: September 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) leverages its swift, precise, and fatigue-resistant problem-solving abilities to significantly influence anesthetic practices, ranging from monitoring the depth of anesthesia to controlling its delivery and predicting events. Within the domain of anesthesia, pain management plays a pivotal role. This review examines the promises and challenges of integrating AI into perioperative pain management, offering an in-depth analysis of their converging interfaces. Given the breadth of research in perioperative pain management, the review centers on the quality of training datasets, the integrity of experimental outcomes, and the diversity of algorithmic approaches. We conducted a thorough examination of studies from electronic databases, grouping them into three core themes: pain assessment, therapeutic interventions, and the forecasting of pain management-related adverse effects. Subsequently, we addressed the limitations of AI application, such as the need for enhanced predictive accuracy, privacy concerns, and the development of a robust database. Building upon these considerations, we propose avenues for future research that harness the potential of AI to effectively contribute to perioperative pain management, aiming to refine the clinical utility of this technology.

Authors: Zhan Mengying , Zhang Jiahao , Zhou Yuqiu , Xie Qijun , Luo Fangfang , Zhou Yu
Published: September 2024

Atrial fibrillation is a common cardiac arrhythmia with an annually increasing global prevalence. Ablation of atrial fibrillation is a minimally invasive procedure that treats atrial fibrillation by using a catheter to deliver radiofrequency energy to heart tissues generating abnormal electrical potentials. The success of this procedure relies significantly on the adhesion between the catheter and the heart tissue, presenting a challenge in accurately assessing the contact force (CF) during surgery. To improve the safety and success rate of surgery, researchers are committed to developing various methods to evaluate or detect catheter-tissue CF. Among these, some studies integrated optical fibers or magnetic elements into the catheter tip to create CF sensing catheters that monitor CF in real time; other studies used impedance measurement, electrical coupling index, local impedance and other methods to evaluate the CF between the catheter and the tissue by measuring changes in electrical signals. These methods have achieved certain success in clinical practice, offering new ways to improve the effectiveness and safety of cardiac radiofrequency ablation surgery.

Authors: Reznikov M.Y.
Published: September 2024

При подготовке к долгосрочным пилотируемым космическим полётам актуальными являются эксперименты с выращиванием различных растений. Принимая во внимание отсутствие магнитного поля Земли, возникла гипотеза о перспективности применения искусственных постоянных магнитных полей в биологических экспериментах в космосе. Для моделирования будущего эксперимента было произведено выращивание растения мангольд при воздействии постоянного магнитного поля. По результатам научной работы были получены данные, что магнитная составляющая, безусловно, важна для роста растений, и на борту орбитальной станции постановка подобного эксперимента может существенно повысить эффективность выращивания растений в космосе, что способствует решению актуальной задачи жизнеобеспечения долгосрочных полётов. Результаты эксперимента наглядно доказали, что искусственное магнитное поле определённой полярности оказывает благоприятное влияние на развитие растений, при этом обратная полярность магнитного поля оказывала угнетающее воздействие на исследуемые растения в отдельные периоды роста.

Authors: Sezer Muruvvet Deniz , Ada Erhan , Kazancoglu Yigit
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier that can achieve net-zero carbon emissions and decrease fossil fuel dependency. However, the importance of the driving forces in hydrogen adaptation and acceptance during the transition to this technology should be emphasised. When assessing hydrogen as a sustainable transportation fuel, defining the success criteria is vital to comprehend the benefits of hydrogen in the transition process. The transport sector is a priority area for the transition to zero emissions, which requires an understanding of the links between the key drivers of hydrogen adoption in transportation.
Aim and tasks. This study aims to identify the key drivers of the hydrogen transition and explore the relationship between the transition drivers to hydrogen as a sustainable transport fuel based on a comprehensive literature review and an interpretative structural modelling approach to determine the relationship between the above-mentioned key drivers.
Results. This study identified key drivers for the transition to hydrogen as a sustainable transport fuel using the Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach. This study examines the potential of hydrogen transition, analyses the driving forces, and examines their interrelationships in terms of driving force and dependent force. The role of technological development and transition awareness in achieving the SDGs is revealed. Robust regulatory agendas and supportive strategies, Workforce development and training based on hydrogen deployment, and Industry partnerships and collaboration are the most fundamental drivers for achieving the transition to hydrogen as a sustainable transport fuel.  In addition, the advancement of hydrogen technologies in production, storage, and transportation, as well as hydrogen production and use, aligns with environmental aims, which are key factors that depend mainly on the actions of other driving forces. However, the limitations of this study include subjectivity and potential differences in the driving forces across countries and sectors.
Conclusions. The deployment of green hydrogen transition for a clean energy source is critical in carbon-intensive sectors of the economy, which are characterised by key drivers and their interlinkages, such as regulatory strategies, workforce development, and industry partnerships. This has increased the flexibility of energy systems with the collaboration of the stakeholders for developing hydrogen technologies and infrastructure, considering the environmental safety, economic efficiency, and social acceptability of hydrogen.
Labour Market of Ukraine and Meeting Post-War Workforce Supply Market Demands
Authors: Kulishov Volodymyr , Herasymenko Yuliia , Furs Oleg , Pakhomov Ilya
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Full-scale military actions in Ukraine increased the dynamics of changes in the labour market, caused significant uncertainty in influencing factors, and increased the imbalance of supply and demand in the labour market, which was characterised as a crisis even before the invasion. This strengthened the need for a relevant assessment of the needs of the Ukrainian labour market and the possibility of its personnel support and management of labour resources, taking into account the risks for the country's economy and post-war reconstruction.
Aim and tasks. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the labour market of Ukraine in the post-war period and substantiate ways of meeting the market's personnel needs using the example of the construction and IT industries. The tasks of this study are to identify the factors affecting the labour market in the post-war period, assess the dynamics of changes in the balance of demand and supply in the labour market in the post-war period, and develop a mathematically formalised approach to the adaptive assessment of the labour market.
Results. The developed mathematically formalised approach to assessing the imbalance of the labour market in individual areas allowed the stabilisation of the demand and supply of the IT labour market in 2026 at a level 1.496 times lower than the maximum in 2023. In the construction industry, differentiation in sectoral priorities of post-war reconstruction has been determined, as evidenced by the expected shortage of personnel in this industry, which is 2.15 times higher than the indicator for all industries. This is also indicated by the differentiation in the demand for qualified workers from 20% to 60% for large and small construction enterprises.
Conclusions. The identified reasons for the uncertainty of factors affecting the labour market (losses in the quality of labour resources and forced migration) proved that post-war reconstruction would require an adaptive approach to managing labour resources at all levels. The lack of personnel in the post-war period will require a change in the concept of ensuring the competitiveness of domestic enterprises by using cheap labour.    It was determined that the demand for qualified personnel in the post-war period for all industries would grow, which is confirmed by the dynamics of the index of change of employees, which is 30% higher for qualified workers than unskilled workers. Significant differentiation by micro-specialty influences the gap between demand and supply, which does not consider the market's needs.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. The relevance of studying the peculiarities of the development of international trade in tourist services is determined by the significant role of world tourism in the structure of the global economy. In the conditions of a complex international political situation, which is dynamically changing, it is crucial to identify the vectors of the development of the tourism industry to determine the future structure of the macro-regional distribution of tourist flows.
Aim and tasks. The purpose of this study is to identify the dominant factors and prospects for the development of international tourism business in the conditions of modern global economic and political instability to determine the most favourable marketing strategies for interaction in the international market of tourist services by extrapolating the results to the possibilities of post-war recovery of the tourism industry in Ukraine.
Results. An analysis of international tourism arrivals showed that the average annual growth rate of the industry from 1995 to 2020 average annual growth of international tourist arrivals was more than 4 per cent. Over the estimated period from 1995 to 2023, the average arrival rate decreased to 2.46 per cent. Macro-regions are considered the most promising for the scaling of international tourism, as well as the factors that will contribute to this and can inhibit economic processes. Special attention is paid to the positioning of Ukraine during the post-war recovery of the tourism industry. Forecast indicators indicate that international tourist arrivals to Ukraine could reach 61 million people in the tenth year of the post-war period. An alternative strategy for promoting national tourist products and brands in the target markets of Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East was proposed, and the feasibility of continuing the promotion of Ukraine as a tourist brand was substantiated.
Conclusions. This study confirms the vector of the shift in global tourist flows under the influence of a number of factors that deepen the contradictions between the Global South and the North, revealing key trends in the growth and displacement of international tourist flows among countries belonging to two opposite camps. The directions of institutional and structural changes required to restore international tourism in Ukraine in the post-war period to strengthen Ukraine's position in the global tourism market are proposed.

Published: September 2024

In this study, we successfully synthesized a bimetallic metal-organic framework material Zn/Co-ZIF to start Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic dye degradation in the water body. Material characterization was evaluated by advanced methods, such as XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX, and BET. The influence of different factors on methylene blue (MB) decomposition rate was investigated. The results show that Zn/Co-ZIF has a porous structure, a high specific surface area and decomposes 98.22% MB (20 mg/L) in 4 minutes under reaction conditions of 40 mg/L catalyst, 0.814mM PMS, pH = 7. The decomposition efficiency of dyes increases in the order CR (79.85%) <RhB (90.81 %) < DB71 (96.07%) < MO (97.63%) < MB (98.22%). The main ROS for the degradation MB in this study were SO4-, O2- and 1O2. This shows that Zn/Co-ZIF materials are potential heterogeneous catalysts to activate PMS to decompose organic pollutants in water.

Authors: Ha-Son Ngo , Thi-Linh NGUYEN
Published: September 2024

In this study, a CuZnO2/MSU photocatalyst was developed using a simple method and common resources. Characterization through XRD, BET, EDX, TEM, and SEM techniques revealed its worm-hole structure and uniform CuZnO2 distribution. The catalyst exhibited a reduced band gap of 2.4 eV and a substantial surface area of 307 m²/g, facilitating 94% degradation of Ciprofloxacin (CIP) within 4 hours of light exposure. Further investigation into the photodegradation process showed that a minimal catalyst quantity (10mg) and H2O2 oxidant led to 95% CIP transformation from a 30 ppm concentration, surpassing typical wastewater levels. Optimal efficiency was achieved with a 50/50 Cu2+/Zn2+ ratio, indicating a synergistic effect. These results underscore the CuZnO2/MSU catalyst’s potential for antibiotic remediation in water.

Authors: Bui Thi Le Thuy  , Nguyễn Đức Chính  , Công Ngọc Thắng  , Vũ Văn Toàn  , Vũ Duy Thịnh  , Tạ Thị Toán
Published: September 2024

Two ionic liquids named triethyl ammonium oleate ([TEA][Oleate] and triethyl ammonium stearate ([TEA][Stearate]) were synthesized from triethyl amine and oleic/stearic acids in water and in ethanol solvents. The synthesized ionic liquids were characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectra to confirm their structure. The influence of some parameters such as structure of ionic liquid anion, solvent, reaction time, reaction temperature, and acid/amine molar ratio on the synthesis processes of triethyl ammonium oleate and triethyl ammonium stearate was investigated. Ethanol was found suitable as a solvent for these processes because it dissolves formed ionic liquids but does not dissolve co-product KCl. In order to shift the equilibrium to increase the ionic liquid yields, an access amount of acids was used. Stearate-based ionic liquid should be synthesized at higher a temperature and longer time than oleic-based ionic liquids.

Urolithiasis is one of the most common diseases of the canine urinary system, which can be caused by diet, reduced water consumption by the animal, in addition to racial, age and sex predisposition. Furthermore, urolithiasis can culminate in hydronephrosis, in which the renal pelvis dilates as a result of the obstruction of urinary flow. The clinical signs of this condition vary according to the severity of the animal’s condition, but may include dysuria, polyuria and urinary incontinence. The definitive diagnosis is based on history, clinical evaluation, complementary imaging exams such as abdominal ultrasound and abdominal radiography. Treatment can be clinical or surgical and dietary management may be necessary, depending on the urinary stone analysis made. The objective of this report was to describe the clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of a five-year-old Shitzu female dog, with bladder uroliths and hydronephrosis as a result of this condition. After care and clinical management with laboratory and complementary exams, the treatment through cystotomy was the one of choice. The urolith was sent for analysis and allowed the establishment of an appropriate therapeutic protocol, through dietary management. Besides that, the female dog was monitored to observe the reversal of hydronephrosis. After surgical and clinical treatment, the animal presented a stable condition and the dilation of the renal pelvises were reversed, making the animal’s prognosis favorable.

OSMANLI SADARETİ GÖLGESİNDE GÜÇ VE İKTİDAR MÜCADELELERİ: REİSÜLKÜTTAP ŞAMİZADE MEHMET EFENDİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Dogan Nejla , Şahin Cemile
Published: September 2024

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun 17. yüzyılının ortaları, siyasi çekişmeler, saraydaki güç mücadeleleri ve hızla gerçekleşen bürokratik değişimlerle dolu bir dönemi yansıtmaktadır. Bu dönemin önemli figürlerinden Şamizade Mehmed Efendi’nin hayatı, tarihi bir örnek oluşturarak ele alınmıştır. Bu kısa çalışma, reisülküttaplık vazifesiyle kariyer yolculuğunun zirvesine ulaşan Reis Efendi’nin salt bir öz yaşam öyküsünden daha fazlasını ele alarak, üç temel konu etrafında şekillenmiştir. İlk olarak, Şamizade Efendi’nin kariyerinin inişli çıkışlı seyrinin, dönemin siyasi dinamiklerinden nasıl etkilendiği izah edilmeye çalışılmıştır. İbşir Paşa ve Köprülüler başta olmak üzere dönemin sadrazamları ve saray halkıyla olan ilişkisinin kariyerini nasıl şekillendirdiği ve karşılaştığı zorluklarla nasıl başa çıktığı üzerinde durulmuştur. İkincil olarak, Şamizade’nin ve damadının idamı konusu ele alınmıştır. İdam konusu, dönemin siyasi dinamiklerini, bürokratik karmaşıklığını, kişisel çekişme ve entrikalarını anlamak adına önemli bir örnek olarak sunulmaktadır. Son olarak, muhallefat kaydıyla birlikte Şamizade Efendi’nin maddi zenginliği, yaşam tarzı ve kültürel tercihlerinin izi takip edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Muhallefat kayıtlarına dayanarak idamından sonra devlet tarafından el konulan mal varlığının maddi boyutu ortaya çıkarılmaya gayret edilmiştir. Sadaret makamından ilk azledildiğinde tüm mal varlığını kaybeden Reis Efendi’nin kısa sürede muazzam bir servete sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dönemin kaynakları ve arşiv malzemeleri ışığında yapılan araştırma, Şamizade Efendi’nin zorlu kariyerinin trajik bir şekilde sona erdiğini ve yaşanan çekişmenin Köprülülerin zaferiyle sonuçlandığını ortaya koymuştur. Şamizade Konağı’nın Köprülüler tarafından ele geçirilmesi, bu zaferin sembolü olarak nitelendirilmiştir.

Nowadays, due to the circulation of information among people, information security has become an important requirement to protect information from hacking. Many techniques have been discovered to protect this information and maintain its confidentiality from hacking, the most prominent of which are cryptography and steganography techniques. In this paper, a hybrid system based on three levels to hide information using Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) color images, where this system works in both processes sender and receiver. The sender process at the first level uses a mixing of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA), while at the second level uses a Fuzzy Stream Algorithm (FSA) adds a higher complexity and eliminates the non-linearity of the encrypted information. The third level is to hide encrypted information using the Least Significant Bit (LSB) technique, while the receiver process, performs the reverse process of three levels. This system provides high information embedding capability and the inability to perceive hidden information, the system was evaluated based on criteria like Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE), Structure Similarity (SSIM), and correlation, which were characterized by high and good rates. The study was compared with modern steganography techniques.

Published: September 2024

In recent years, applications of deepfake, particularly to achieve political, economic, or social reputation aims, have been become widespread. These applications do not require high-level professional technical skills. Also, deep learning techniques like Generative Adversarial networks (GANs) have enhanced deepfake, making it more realistic. So, several researchers are looking for developing an effective method to detect a fake image or video. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of several proposed deepfake generation approaches and the approaches used to detect any manipulation. Based on feature extraction methods, this study provides an extensive review of face manipulation, especially focusing on facial swap, re-enactment, and attribute manipulation. Additionally, the study describes all existing deepfake methods and evaluates the presented detection models based on the most effective deep learning algorithms by comparing their respective evaluation metrics. Moreover, it presents the challenges and gapes in trying to enhance and develop deepfake detection techniques. It assists readers in understanding the generation and detection of deepfake mechanisms and presents the field limitations and future works.

A diazotization method was used to synthesize new azo compounds, to which phenol was subsequently added to diazonium salt solution in basic medium at temperatures ranging from 0 to 5 °C and compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The potential of the compounds as acid-base indicators was tested by determining their ionization and protonation constants at different pH levels (1 to 14) using a DMSO solution of the synthesized compounds. UV-Vis spectra shown as maximum wavelength (380-390 nm) observed at pH 1-7 occurs, indicating the cationic formula (protonated form of compound H2 and H4), another peak (470-530 nm) appears at pH 8-13, indicating the ionic formula (deprotonated form of compound H2 and H4), where for compound H5 observed at 560 nm at pH 1-7. Another peak appears 505 nm at pH 8-13 attributable to absorption the ionic formula (deprotonated form of compounds H5). Molecules H2, H4, and H5 showed distinct color changes when shifted to acidic and basic conditions. Furthermore, these compounds showed exceptional accuracy in drawing conclusions about the phenomenon.
