Ego State Trip or Ego State Trap: Unlocking Change Through Language
Authors: Jusik Piotr , Wieczorek Zbigniew
Published: October 2024

The article introduces a proposal for a linguistic model that combines the concepts of linguistic determinism from Sapir-Whorf, linguistic constructivism from Delia, and transactional analysis. Assuming that thinking and feeling are dependent on language structure, we can create a matrix representing our understanding of reality, distributed between ego states on an axis of time to which particular transactions refer. This matrix can be utilised to further work with clients, providing a direction for enquiry. Exploring transactions in this way promotes a movement to the meta-communication level, which, in turn, aids clients to develop their Integrating Adult. The article presented a brief analysis of work with clients in terms of the ego state timeline model (ESTM) with reflections on the significance of language in shaping one’s frame of reference, illustrated with practical examples of application.

Published: October 2024

This study aims to evaluate the Virtual Processing Station as a simulation-based learning medium in the context of engineering education, based on student perceptions. Student perceptions of this medium were evaluated based on four main aspects: relevance, attention, interest, and usefulness. This study involved 30 students from the Department of Electrical Engineering Education at Yogyakarta State University who had used the Virtual Processing Station in laboratory practice sessions. Data were collected through a questionnaire with 17 statements using a Likert scale and supplemented with qualitative feedback from respondents. The results showed that this learning medium was very well received by students, with an average rating of 90.59%. The relevance aspect received the highest score (92.92%), followed by the interest aspect (90.83%) and usefulness (90.56%). Although the attention aspect received a slightly lower score (84.72%), the medium was still considered quite effective in capturing students' attention during the learning process. Positive comments from respondents emphasized the effectiveness of this medium in helping students understand both the practical and theoretical concepts of PLC-based industrial automation systems. The conclusion of this study indicates that the Virtual Processing Station has great potential in supporting more interactive and efficient engineering learning. However, there is still room for improvement in areas such as the user interface and visualization. Future research should focus on assessing the short-term and long-term impacts of this medium, particularly through larger sample sizes and objective assessments of student performance before and after using the Virtual Processing Station. This approach will provide deeper insights into how these medium influences learning outcomes and the development of practical skills in engineering education.

Mosaic Nature of H. naledi
Authors: Tsounis Yiorgos
Published: October 2024

Homo naledi (“Star Man”) holds a fascinating morphology of primitive and derived traits, and offers more questions than answers as to their true functions.  In this paper, I will attempt to discern some answers by first describing H. naledi’s outstanding morphological traits with merit to the researchers who found the specimens, as well as discuss its overarching significance in the field of palaeoanthropology. I will then investigate the theories regarding H. naledi’s behavior dissected through comparisons with other hominins, such as contemporary archaic Homo members, argue for a semi-rock climbing morphology rather than semi-arboreal, provide evidence for a possible one million year old stasis through the lenses of neurobiology and ecology, and finally question how these attributed to this species’ extinction.  Although a large portion of this paper is theoretical, it nonetheless stems from evidence directly corresponding to the remains of H. naledi.

Effect of preheating substrates and process parameters on cladding track geometry fabricated by laser cladding
Authors: Quan Van Nguyen  , Hiep Xuan Dang  , Hung Viet Dao
Published: October 2024

Laser cladding (LC) is an advanced technique used for repairing large-scale components, such as rotors and valves, in thermal power plants and steel rolling mills. This technology is designed to facilitate efficient repairs, minimize repair costs, conserve materials, reduce processing time, and ensure adequate dilution between the substrate material and the deposited coating, while also enhancing corrosion resistance. In this research, the effects of preheating substrates and input process parameters on the geometric accuracy of single-track deposits, as well as the microstructure composition of multi-track deposits, were investigated. The Taguchi method was used to design an L9 orthogonal experimental array. The impact of process parameters, including substrate temperature, laser power, and scanning speed, on the morphology of a single track (track width, height, penetration depth, and dilution) was evaluated through ANOVA statistical analysis. SS316L stainless steel, recognized for its wear resistance, was used as the deposition material. The findings reveal that substrate temperature is the most critical factor influencing the dilution of the coating. Additionally, the microstructure of the deposited layers were systematically analyzed.

Pathology associated with kidney failure and anesthesia
Authors: Maria I. Dalamagka
Published: October 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as either a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of <60 ml min−1 1.73 m−2 for 3 months or more, irrespective of cause, or kidney damage leading to a decrease in GFR, present for 3 months or more. The damage may manifest as abnormalities in the composition of blood or urine, on radiological imaging, or in histology. CKD is classified into five stages depending on GFR, ranging from Stage 1 - normal GFR to Stage 5 - established renal failure. Patients with kidney disease undergoing surgery and anesthesia are at high risk for increased adverse events that include, cardiovascular complications and mortality, and further deterioration of renal function and development of acute kidney injury (AKI) due to perioperative injuries that are caused by hemodynamic instability, hypovolemia, or drug toxicity. Special consideration should be placed on preventing further deterioration of renal function as well as protection of existing renal function in patients with moderate to severe impairment from the effects of anesthetics and pain medications. Analgesics such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can contribute to a reduction of the residual renal function in CKD and should be avoided. Renal IR injury is a risk factor for acute renal failure and delayed graft function. Pathogenic factors for renal IR include, but are not limited to, the following: oxidative stress, inflammation, cellular necrosis, and apoptosis. Further clinical studies are required to address the optimal medication regimen that can be used for postoperative pain management in the more severe stages of CKD, including hemodialysis.

Background: Burnout has been linked to patient outcomes, safety metrics, medical mistakes, communication, and adherence to practice standards, according to an increasing corpus of primary literature and systematic reviews. We conducted a comprehensive study to investigate the relationship between burnout and patient safety as well as treatment quality. Method: We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature in order to generate summary estimates of the link between provider burnout and care quality. The PRISMA rules were followed. Between 2012 and 2021, we ran a language-free search across MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Embase. Result and conclusion: Most of the data points to a connection between worse care quality and burnout among providers, which is in line with previous evaluations of different aspects. Work-life conflicts and a lack of staffing are two major causes of burnout among nurses. Enhancing hospital work environments might be a very inexpensive way to raise satisfaction of patient while also enhancing safety and hospital quality of care.

The increasing demand for intelligent surveillance systems has led to the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology with advanced image processing techniques to enhance security applications. This paper presents a novel framework that combines IoT-enabled devices with adaptive image processing, leveraging the power of edge computing and machine learning to optimize real-time analysis of visual data. Traditional surveillance systems often face limitations such as high latency, bandwidth constraints, and inadequate adaptability to dynamic environments. Our proposed solution addresses these challenges by processing data closer to the source, reducing latency and bandwidth usage while maintaining high processing accuracy. The framework integrates adaptive algorithms for dynamic resolution adjustment, context-aware object detection, and real-time anomaly detection, allowing the system to intelligently adjust based on scene complexity, environmental conditions, and available computational resources. Additionally, the use of machine learning techniques enhances the system’s ability to learn from new patterns and adapt to evolving security threats. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the proposed system’s superior performance in terms of object detection accuracy, processing speed, and energy efficiency compared to traditional centralized surveillance systems. This paper also discusses the implementation of secure communication protocols and privacy-preserving techniques to ensure data security in IoT environments. The proposed framework offers a scalable and flexible solution, making it suitable for a wide range of security applications, from public spaces to private facilities. Future work will focus on improving the system's robustness and extending its capabilities for large-scale deployments.

Published: October 2024

This paper presents the development of a remote-controlled power switching device utilizing an Arduino Nano, TSOP1738 infrared receiver, and a four-channel relay module. It manages two mains sockets, an AC bulb, and a DC bulb, with the DC circuit supported by a Li-ion battery pack that acts as a backup. The device is encased in a unit with an external power input, controlled via a standard IR remote. The Arduino Nano decodes the IR signals received from the TSOP1738, enabling user interaction. A single button can toggle all outputs, while separate buttons control each output independently. The integrated LCD provides real-time status updates of the outputs (ON/OFF). The Arduino processes the IR signals, correlates them with predefined codes, and sends control signals to the relay module to switch the connected loads. Functionality tests demonstrated consistent voltage switching, stable 5V LCD supply, and a quick 1-second response time, meeting performance expectations. The relay output showed 219V, confirming correct load handling. The 60W bulb's current was slightly above expected, but no overheating occurred, with the relay at a safe 25.3°C. The results illustrate the device's effectiveness, offering a robust method for controlling electrical devices remotely. This design presents an efficient and user-friendly solution for managing AC and DC devices, showcasing the practicality of IR technology in modern home automation.

The article introduces an inventive, eco-friendly, simple, consistent and reproducible NP-TLC-Densitometry approach to simultaneous pharmaceutical estimation of Valsartan and Sacubitril in bulk and tablet matrix. Valsartan and Sacubitril is a combination of two medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). This combination is used when a single drug is not enough to control blood pressure. The determination was performed by employing densitometric estimation using ultraviolet exposure at 252 nm. The separation was achieved on (10 × 10 cm) aluminium backed silica gel 60-F254 as stationary phase. Optimized mobile phase was dichloroethane: methanol: triethylamine (4.2:0.4:0.4 v/v/v). Quantitation was conducted over a concentration range of 260 - 1560 ng/band of valsartan and 240 - 1440 ng/band of sacubitril. The compact and well-resolved bands for both drugs in standard and samples were obtained at a retention factor (Rf) value of 0.57 ± 0.02 and 0.42 ± 0.02 for valsartan and sacubitril respectively. As per International Council for Harmonization the established method was successfully validated to various parameters like accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, robustness and shows the satisfactory results for all parameters. The recognized method is simple, accurate, precise, robust, sensitive and economical in nature. This method can be used for quality control of Valsartan and Sacubitril in bulk and in combined dosage form.
