Background: In 2019, after the first case was discovered in Wuhan, China, the COVID-19 virus began to spread rapidly across the world, leading the WHO to declare the disease a public health emergency. Objectives: Thromboembolism refers to the formation of a clot in a vein, which then travels through the vascular system, potentially blocking blood flow in another location. Methods: This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the risk factors for pulmonary embolism in COVID-19 patients hospitalized at Firoozabadi Hospital from May to the end of December 2020. After extracting the required information, the data was entered into SPSS version 26 software for analysis. Results: In total, data from 283 COVID-19 patients admitted to Firouzabadi Hospital in Tehran in 2020 were collected. The average age of the patients was 58.8 ± 15.9 years. Among the 283 patients, 162 (57.6%) were male, 79 patients (27.9%) had pulmonary embolism, 102 patients (36%) were smokers, and 107 patients (37.8%) had a history of hypertension. A significant relationship was observed between the occurrence of pulmonary embolism and elevated levels of, white blood cells (WBC) (P = 0.0001), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (P = 0.0001), D-dimer (P = 0.0001), polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) (P = 0.020), lymphocytes (P = 0.013), alkaline phosphatase (Alk.P) (P = 0.025), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (P = 0.019), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (P = 0.017). Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, the incidence of pulmonary embolism in hospitalized COVID-19 patients who underwent CT angiography due to clinical suspicion of thrombosis was 27.9%. Additionally, factors such as smoking, a previous history of pulmonary thromboembolism, high WBC, elevated liver function tests (LFT), and elevated LDH levels were identified as risk factors for the occurrence of pulmonary embolism in these patients.
Dimitrie Cantemir in the face of the change of the civilizational paradigm
Authors: Eşanu Andrei , Eşanu Valentina
Published: October 2024

In the following communication Dimitrie Cantemir in the face of civilizational paradigm change, the authors try to examine from a different angle the actions of Dimitrie Cantemir (1673-1723) during his short reign in Moldova (1710-1711) and especially regarding his alliance with Peter I, Tsar of Russia (April 2/13, 1711). Starting from the fact that the Romanian scholar during his adolescence and youth had been formed as an intellectual and politician in the Orthodox cultural and spiritual environment from Moldova on the one hand and in that of the Islamic world and culture from Constantinople on the other, it can be assumed that he was acquainted both with the Christian European civilization and with the Arab-Turkish-Persian Oriental one. Throughout his entire literary creation as a historian, philosopher, musician, etc., Cantemir relied on representative scientific, cultural and religious values from both civilizational worlds. As for his political activity, both before and during his reign in Moldova, the Romanian prince understood that his homeland was included in the civilizational area of the Ottoman Empire, a circumstance that inhibited its development and affirmation on the international level. In accordance with the Biblical conception of the universal cycle of the four monarchies, which the erudite prince had embraced and further developed in a special study, Monarchiarum physica examinatio / A Natural Research of Monarchies, he considered that the unfolding political-military events at the crossroads of the two great civilizations, that of Europe and that of Islam, inevitably led to the collapse and disappearance of the Ottoman Empire as a historical anomaly. As a result, the baton of universal evolution would soon be taken over by the Northern monarchy, which was represented, according to D. Cantemir, by the Russian state. This system was used as the theoretical basis for the decision of the prince of Moldavia to break his relations with the Ottoman Gate and negotiate an alliance with the new rising European power. Thus, through such an action in these new circumstances, Cantemir was actually trying to break Moldova away from the area of Oriental civilization and place it de facto as a sovereign country in the new system of European international relations.

Defect detection using spatial spectral entropy for noncontact acoustic inspection method
Authors:   Toin University of Yokohama, Sugimoto Kazuko ,   Toin University of Yokohama, Sugimoto Tsuneyoshi
Published: October 2024

Inspection of concrete structures is important for maintaining social infrastructure such as tunnels and viaducts. Therefore, noncontact acoustic inspection method using acoustic irradiation induced vibration and a scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (SLDV) has been devised. Since this method uses flexural resonance, it can be said to be an alternative method for a hammering test. Using our method, internal defects of concrete can be detected up to a depth of about 10 cm from the surface of concrete, even at a distance of about 30 m. However, in a closed space such as an underground cavity, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio decreases due to reverberation from the surroundings, making it difficult to detect defects compared to open spaces such as viaducts. This problem can be solved by using spatial spectral entropy (SSE), which extends the concept of spectral entropy to the two-dimensional space of the measurement plane. In other words, by SSE analysis, the resonance frequency of both the defect and the SLDV can be detected and separated because of the difference in the spatial distribution characteristics of the vibration velocity spectrum for each the frequency. Therefore, it is possible to detect a defective part even in a place where the S/N ratio is not sufficient.
Highly Sensitive Phased Array Probes based on Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers

Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (CMUTs) offer a wide freedom of design for ultrasonic phased arrays. They are characterized, in comparison to piezoelectric transducers, by a higher sensitivity in receiving and a wider bandwidth based on their physical properties. Especially in combination with integrated preamplifiers the high receiving sensitivity compensates or rather overcompensates the lower transmission power of the CMUT in single probe applications with pulse-echo technique. This asymmetric behavior opens new opportunities in the application. In medical diagnostics it allows to meet the maximum permissible ultrasonic radiation force with the best sensitivity. In nondestructive testing the transmission power can be increased by the combination of a piezoelectric probe for transmitting and a CMUT probe for receiving. Especially in double probe techniques, such as pitch-catch or time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD), this is an efficient extension of the conventional approach with two piezoelectric transducers. The CMUT array probes developed by Fraunhofer IPMS with integrated preamplifier and bias voltage converter powered by a standard USB-A connector can be applied as one to one substitute for piezoelectric phased arrays with commercially available ultrasonic devices without adaption or additional electronics. The CMUT arrays are best suited for immersion technique and medical sonography because of their natural matching to water-like materials. They are applicable as well for solid surfaces with a special coating. We present the first results of ultrasonic imaging with our CMUT array probes in comparison with a commercially available piezoelectric phased array probe.

Digital Laminography (DL) is a technique that enables the estimation of indication depth from a set of digital projection radiographs. It allows the engineers or researchers to visualize and measure the depth from the object’s surface. The technique applies to welded components and non-metal applications such as composite materials. The technique also allows users to understand engineering problems and further analyze the cause of failures. Malaysian Nuclear Agency is pursuing the building and establishment the DL system at its facility. A gantry is designed to hold a 225kVp X-ray tube that is mechanically moved slowly. A 100 µm pixel size Digital Detector Array (DDA) is used to capture the images. This paper highlights simulation and a preliminary assessment to understand the physics and appropriate steps to build a DL system. It discusses the simulation and experimental study of exposure parameters and setup by digital radiographic testing (RT-D) of known imperfections of a welded steel plate before performing the DL measurement. The radiographic images and their achieved contrast sensitivity and image quality are analyzed according to ISO 17636-2. The results of simulations and experiments demonstrate a good and consistent ability to measure the depth and extension of the reconstructed imperfections within ± 1 mm regarding the actual size and position.
Iṣé̩ L'òògùn Iṣé̩ 'Work is the Antidote to Poverty'
Authors: Akin-Otiko Paul
Published: October 2024

The primary and secondary levels of education are impressionable stages of formation, and, in Nigeria, these stages form the basic levels of compulsory education, where majority of Nigerian youths come in contact with moral principles that help to shape their future. For Africans, laziness is an immoral attitude that is abhorred and spoken against. Laziness can destroy a promising future and it is immoral because it is a negative attitude that tends to go against basic law of human survival. This idea is portrayed in one of Nigeria's popular primary school poems. This work critically appraises 'Iṣé̩ L'òògùn Iṣé̩' (Work is the antidote to poverty) a poem in praise of diligence, as believed and practiced in the 1960s up till the 1990s. To achieve the purpose of this work, the poem is evaluated by the views of the present-day generation on diligence. Three Focused Group Discussions that cut across Senior Secondary School students and Postgraduate students were conducted to sift out the present-day understanding of diligence. The findings are compared with the older generation's understanding and data is analyzed in a table and discussed descriptively. The conclusion of the study suggests ways of moulding young minds in the Primary and Secondary schools and how to help teachers communicate to them that laziness cannot help in nation-building.
Teaching African Folklore at the Pre-tertiary Level In South-West Nigeria
Authors: Dasaolu Babajide Olugbenga
Published: October 2024

The gap between tradition and modernity in the emerging world order is implicated in the production and transmission of knowledge and values in Africa. Many traditional African beliefs are despised and constmed as archaic, barbaric, or demonic; hence, deserving no patronage in the affairs of contemporary African life. African folklore is a corpus of ideas, knowledge and values cut-up in this web of unjustified dichotomy between tradition and modernity in contemporary African society. I examine in this paper, the fundamental pedagogic challenges of teaching indigenous moral instructions to pupils at the pre-tertiary level in contemporary education system in Nigeria. Using the Yorùbá as my folklore cue, I provide the justification for an inclusion of the ethical aspects of Ọrúnmìlà's historico-philosophical thoughts in the curriculum of pre-tertiary education of South-West Nigeria. Through a heuristic analysis, I argue the need for Ọrúnmìlàgogy, a new instructional model of teaching moral education at pre-tertiary level in Nigeria, using two classroom instances. I provide some suggestions on the most plausible ways of addressing the identified challenges of instmcting salient moral principles in Yorùbá folklore at the pre-tertiary level of education in South-West Nigeria.
Character Education in Pre-tertiary Schools for Sustainable National Development and a Well-ordered Society
Authors: Ochala Kizito Idoga , Igwe Isaac Chidi
Published: October 2024

Throughout human civilization, there has been a growing need to build education on the foundation of character. The purpose is to enable humans gain self-mastery necessary for societal cohesion and sustainable national development. Its neglect leads to retrogression, deceit and moral crisis. Moral character deficiency in the current Nigerian state reinforces the conviction that moral character education needs to be revisited, rejigged and reinvigorated in order to improve our national moral capital, attain sustainable development and a well-ordered mode of living. Accordingly, since character weakness is upheld to be the root of social ills and disorderliness, the paper posits that to correct this anomaly, it is exigent to integrate character education into the pre-tertiary schools in order to raise virtuous and conscientious citizens. The paper is persuaded that character education is both essential and sufficient to form virtuous citizens, build an authentic peaceful community and established corruption-free society.
John Locke and the Education of the Child
Authors: Eche Winifred
Published: October 2024

In John Locke's work, Some Thoughts Concerning Education, he aims at developing the character of the child. What matters to him is not what the child learns, but who the child becomes. Locke presents his views on education as the counsel of reason. This paper enquirs into the basis of Locke's claim (the principles and psychological assumptions that ground the aims and methods that he recommends), it examines how these principles could be harmonized with African precepts and highlights their relevance to Nigeria's development.
Moral Education in Nigerian Secondary Schools and the Challenge of Nation Building
Authors: Yasin Naziru Muhammad
Published: October 2024

The thrust of this paper is to examine the role of teaching moral education in Nigerian secondary schools in national development. The paper argues that there is no education without morality. The study also explains the concepts, the purpose and needs for moral education in Nigerian secondary schools as an effective way for enhancing national development in the country. It upholds that there is need to develop a curriculum on moral education for Nigeria secondary schools for the purpose of national development. It was observed that moral education in Nigeria secondary schools has been left in the hands of Religious instructors alone. However, all teachers irrespective of whatever subject they teach are moral instructors and all school subjects contain moral teachings. The paper recommends that the task before teachers is to identify the moral dimensions in their respective disciplines and make it available to their students for Nigeria's development.
The Challenges of Globalization to the Teaching of Moral Character in Pre-tertiary Institutions in Nigeria
Authors: Chukwuma Joseph Nnaemeka , Ogbu Esther Obiageli
Published: October 2024

The 21st century has ushered mankhid to the threshold of globalization, information technology, knowledge explosion but also decline in moral and character development. In an era of rapid social, economic, cultural and religious change, there is a plethora of challenges for the Nigerian schools to develop in the students the capacity to handle new ethical challenges in these global times. The influence of what is read and watched on the social media is so devastating that if no precautionary measures are taken, the entire nation will be plunged into darkness in the nearest future. This is more disturbing with the realization that schools are the microcosm of the society. Since what happens in schools reflect the condition of the society, it is time something concrete was done as the condition of moral decay in the Nigerian schools and among the students is so glaring. This paper argues that for education that enhances moral character to be realized in institutions of learning in Nigeria, a detour is needed to revisit African informal, traditional system of education. This is necessary as this system has as its hallmark functionality and character building and emphasizes social responsibility and participation and the development of spiritual and moral values. Sifting the best elements of this tradhional system and integrating them into the current education system will go a long way to enhance the moral character of students at the pre-tertiary level thereby preparing them to confront the moral challenges both at the tertiary level and in the wider society.

Participer à une société qui apprend : manuel méthodologique pour observer les réalisations du droit à l’éducation en tant que droit culturel
Authors: Bougma M. , Dalbera C. , Gandolfi S. , Meyer-Bisch P.
Published: October 2024

Une communauté humaine est mature, quand elle s’enrichit continuellement des intelligences partagées de ses membres, de ses traditions ainsi que des savoirs qui viennent d’ailleurs ; bref, quand elle demeure et se développe comme apprenante. Or les recherches participatives nous placent devant un contraste impressionnant. 1) Une grande partie des habitantes et habitants ne peuvent pas jouir pleinement des droits à l’éducation et à l’information, ce qui implique qu’une grande part des savoirs et de leurs potentiels se perd définitivement. 2) Pourtant cette richesse existe, ce dont témoignent tant d’expériences heureuses, portées par des associations, des communes, avec l’engagement de nombreuses personnes. En réalité, beaucoup de richesse humaine est gaspillée, or il s’agit de la première ressource, avant même les autres ressources économiques. Personne, aucun pouvoir central dans une société démocratique, ne peut assurer seul cette responsabilité, qui appartient à toutes et à tous. Il est nécessaire de recueillir et de respecter les ressources culturelles - les multiples sortes de savoirs portées par une grande diversité d’acteurs – qui doivent, ou peuvent, entrer dans la réalisation du droit à l’éducation. Intimement lié au droit à l’information, le droit à l’éducation est pris ici dans toute son amplitude culturelle. Il s’agit de chercher dans leurs diversités les ressources de l’universelle dignité, au lieu de vouloir imposer le modèle d’un pouvoir central. Ce manuel est un des résultats d’une observation participative de la réalisation du droit à l’éducation au Burkina Faso. Il contient une présentation synthétique des étapes de la méthode mise en œuvre, à partir d’études de cas analysés au regard des composantes du droit à l’éducation en tant que droit culturel : ces brèves études se composent d’exposés narratifs appuyés sur des cartes et schémas systémiques. La seconde partie montre des résultats, ainsi que quelques recommandations qui en sont issues. La crainte qu’une observation dynamique soit beaucoup trop coûteuse en investissement est compensée par le fait que cette observation permet de débusquer gaspillages et effets de levier, et qu’elle peut être opérée par échantillonnages, dans la mesure où les relations entre les indicateurs observés peuvent être repérés et suivis dans des espace-temps bien définis. Il faut tabler sur les capacités d’observation des différents acteurs et sur la mise en œuvre de l’intelligence collective quand elle est confrontée à la réalité contrastée des potentiels et des obstacles. C’est le principe d’une société qui apprend, qui débusque de l’universel au singulier dans les replis des relations humaines au sein des richesses des environnements.
Analysis Of Differences In Evidence In District Court Decisions And Supreme Court Decisions: A Case Study On The Judicial Review Process
Authors: Novianti Reski , Tamrin Husni
Published: October 2024

A judicial review (PK) is a legal mechanism given to parties who are dissatisfied with a decision that has permanent legal force, either in the District Court or the Supreme Court. In Indonesia, a PK application can only be submitted once, as regulated in Article 268 paragraph (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code, and often involves new evidence (novum) as a basis for requesting a judicial review. The objective to be achieved in this study is to analyze the differences related to the evidence in the District Court decision and the Supreme Court decision in the review process. The method used in this study is juridical normative where the legal material used covers the theory, concept, legal principles and some regulations in accordance with the discussion of research. The method of data collection used is literature study where secondary data are used such as books, laws and related journals. The results of this study indicate that the difference in evidence in conducting judicial review becomes one of the considerations for the acceptance or rejection of PK by the Supreme Court. However, in fact, the specification of the quality of evidence is still not clearly explained where it will only create a blur of norms. Therefore, it is not surprising when the Supreme Court rejected many of the judicial review considering that there was no eligibility for the quality of the evidence received

Published: October 2024

As the volume of vehicles on toll roads and non-toll roads increases, congestion occurs when the road capacity can no longer accommodate the volume of vehicles passing through it. one of the most crowded toll roads in Indonesia is the Jagorawi Toll Road. Congestion often occurs at several points along the Jagorawi Toll Road, especially the Cililitan Toll Gate. Congestion at the Toll Gate often occurs because the level of service at the Toll Gate does not match the level of vehicle arrivals during peak hours. Therefore, in the research “Analysis of Multi lane Free Flow Implementation at Toll Gates in Indonesia (Case Study of Cililitan Toll Gate 2)”, this study aims to determine the performance and impact on vehicles at Cililitan Toll Gate 2 that are still using E-Toll and its effect on Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC) if the E-Toll system and MLFF system are installed at Cililitan Toll Gate 2. Therefore, using the analysis method with the help of Microsoft Excel can analyze data on the performance of E-Toll and VOC and survey data processing using SPSS. Based on the research findings, on Wednesday, March 6, 2024 has a delay time on the E-Toll payment system of 49 seconds. And also obtained the value of VOC when MLFF is applied (at a speed of 60 km / h) is lower than the value of VOC when E-Toll is applied (at a speed of 9.72 km / h) resulting in congestion costs of Rp. 3,653.75 / km for passenger cars, Rp. 1,113.66 / km for medium vehicles, Rp. 4,014.32 / km for large buses and Rp. 8,045.89 / km for large trucks.

. Predictive Value of Pre-delivery Serum β-human Chorionic Gonadotropin, Fibrinogen, and Homocysteine for Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
Authors: Zhuo Miaomiao
Published: October 2024

Introduction: it was to investigate the relationship between pre-delivery serumβ-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG), fibrinogen (FIB), and homocysteine (HCY) with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP). Materials and Methods: 200 HDCP patients and 150 normal pregnant women were selected as study subjects. Fasting cubital venous blood samples were collected to measure serum triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), as well as β-HCG, FIB, and HCY levels. Pearson correlation analysis examined relationship between β-HCG, FIB, HCY, and HDCP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis evaluated the predictive value of these indicators for HDCP. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified risk factors (RFs) for HDCP.Results: serum TG, TC, HDL, LDL, FIB,β-HCG, and HCY were greatly elevated in the HDCP group versus control group (CG) (P<0.05). Serumβ-HCG, FIB, and HCY showed notable positive correlations with HDCP (r = 0.935, 0.547, 0.811; P<0.05), and the areas under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting HDCP based on serum β-HCG, FIB, HCY, and their combination were 0.743, 0.659, 0.801, and 0.886, respectively (P<0.05). Lipid indicators and serum levels of FIB, β-HCG, and HCY were RFs for HDCP.Conclusion:pregnant women with HDCP exhibited markedly elevated serum lipid levels and FIB, β-HCG, and HCY levels before delivery, which can serve as predictive indicators for HDCP.

Authors: Georgieva G. , Badalova M. , Nedeva T.
Published: October 2024

Amino acids, serving as fundamental building blocks of proteins, can also act as inducers in essential metabolic pathways across various microorganisms. The metabolic effects of synthetic and biologically produced amino acid L-tryptophan on two Pseudomonas strains – Pseudomonas chlororaphis 1S4 and Pseudomonas yamanorum 1046 were compared in this study. Both strains belong to the plant growth-pro¬moting rhizobacteria. The inducers impacted the production of the primary auxin phytohormone in the plant kingdom, the indole-3-acetic acid. The biologically produced L-tryptophan exerted a more pronounced positive effect on its production in both strains, increasing the process efficiency.
A systematic review of the financial issues of higher education institutions (HEIs) and possible strategies to cope with them
Authors: Bukhari Syed Kaleem Ullah Shah
Published: October 2024

The field of higher education has not only been for elites since the last three decades. It has also included the general masses in it. That’s why the transformation of the socio-economic status and general awareness in the present age owes to higher education. On the other hand, challenges have also emerged and set conditions on the path to sustainability. Thus, higher education has faced problems, especially financial problems. These issues further give birth to some other issues. This study is an attempt to understand the issues caused by financial issues. The study also aimed to propose strategies to deal with these issues. Based on the systematic literature review, the problems have been categorized as lack of internet, digitalization, and online teaching; underdeveloped infrastructure for STEAM; lack of priorities; and quality issues. These findings create hurdles in achieving the quality of HEIs. To cope with these issues, clear policy and setting priorities were proposed as the top most important strategies to bring about quality and achieve HEIs’ organizational objectives. It can be concluded that HEIs need appropriate strategic and financial managers and administrators who can align their strategy with the vision and mission of the institutions.
Optimized Heat Treatment Process Of Al-Mn-Cr-Zr Alloys Printed By Powder Bed Fusion – Laser Beam
Authors: Bengtsson Sven , Riabov Dmitri
Published: October 2024

Additive manufacturing by powder bed fusion – laser beam process can produce parts with complex geometry and good mechanical strength. However, most conventional alloys with higher strength are not very well suited for the AM process, which has led to the development of new alloy systems. The newly developed Al-Mn-Cr-Zr alloy requires an aging process step after printing where several types of precipitates are formed. This is the main contributor to the strength of this alloy system. It is demonstrated that mechanical strength vs ductility of this alloy system produced via laser powder bed process route can be tailored by changing heat treatment parameters. In the present work tensile test bars were aged at 375 oC for different lengths of time. The response in terms of tensile test data, fracture surface appearance and microstructure are discussed in the paper.
Influence Of Various Alloying Elements On WC-Ni Hardmetals Produced By FAST
Authors: von Spalden Mathias , Pötschke Johannes
Published: October 2024

The substitution of cobalt in hardmetals has a crucial economic role, since increasing costs driven by the demand for Li-ion batteries can lead to higher prices for the majority of hardmetal grades which depend on cobalt as binder metal. Nickel has already proven to be a possible substitute. However, so far it cannot compete with cobalt in terms of mechanical properties. Therefore, in this work a systematic investigation on various alloying elements in nickel-based binder systems for hardmetals was done. A further goal of this study was the reduction of needed sintering temperatures which can lead to less energy consumption for the sintering process. The trials were carried out using field assisted sintering. Subsequent SinterHIP treatment was done to investigate the quasi thermodynamically stable state. The chosen alloying elements are iron, manganese, copper, silicon, and germanium. For some combinations, hardmetals with a novel nickel-based binder alloy could be successfully prepared.

Framatome manufacturing plants use walking-beam furnaces to sinter large productions of fuel pellets. The sintering process of different products in the same equipment is complex with sublimation and reduction reactions involved, but also densification and grain-growth. Hence, Framatome started to model it with several benefits:\n - Increase reactions knowledge\n - Perform parametric studies without using the production equipment\n - Increase performance by process optimization \n - Compare the different equipment within Framatome and use the best developments\n - Create teaching tools through theoretical description of the process and its key influencing parameters\n The modelling is a step-by-step approach: first the geometry, gas flows and temperatures were established, then adding more detailed pieces. Validation of the model is then done with experimental data from production campaigns. Afterwards parametric sensitivity calculations can be performed to evaluate the influence of different parameters such as gas mixture, temperatures and therefore optimize the sintering.

Extensive research is currently done on microstructure and mechanical property characterisation of metal additive manufacturing technologies. However, there remains a limited focus on the combination of these technologies. This study addresses this gap by combining laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and directed energy deposition (DED) technologies to produce a check valve. The interior of a valve requires high corrosion resistance which can be obtained using In718, while the exterior benefits from more cost effective material, in this case 316L. From the consolidation side, LPBF allows the production of small complex features and DED offers a higher production rate and the possibility of tailoring compositions and mechanical properties. The interface quality and microstructure of different multi-material combinations were studied in this work. Tensile properties were investigated of hybrid multi-material parts to select the best combination. In addition, the production route for producing a multi-material check valve combining LPBF and DED was developed.

Published: October 2024

Concerns regarding the health implications of fine metal powder handling remain unresolved. Existing regulations such as occupational exposure limits are too blunt and do not guarantee safety in working environments. To better understand the health impact, airborne particles were captured in several PBF - LB workshops. Most 0-10 µm powder particles, which are considered respirable, are typically removed from as-atomized powders before being sold as PBF-LB powders. Yet, airborne 0-10 µm powder particles were found in all workshops. For cytotoxicity tests, we extracted the 0-10 µm powder particles using an AC1000G screenless air classifier from Blue Power. Furthermore, their size and physio-chemical characteristics were correlated with metal release in artificial lysosomal fluid (ALF). Results revealed a notable difference between the whole PBF-LB fraction and extracted 0-10 µm particles. No cytotoxicity was noted.

Soft magnetic composites are materials based on ferromagnetic particles surrounded by secondary electrical insulating components. The geometric size&shape of the ferromagnetic particles are crucial for the functional properties of consolidated SMC materials. Modern electronic and engineering applications create pressure for the development of materials applicable at increasingly higher frequencies of alternating magnetization. An increase in the frequency stability of the magnetic properties can be achieved by reducing the size of the ferromagnetic particles and/or by increasing the thickness of the electrical insulation layer. In any case, permeability and magnetic flux density decrease. The subject of this research is the preparation of FeSiAl particles realized by several methods of resonant acoustic and ball milling. Spherical and flake-like ferromagnetic particles with different distributions of Si and Al were prepared. Coercivity as well as changes in density and compressibility were studied depending on the structural and geometrical characteristics of the powders.
