Lignin, a significant industrial byproduct from paper manufacturing processes, exhibits ultraviolet (UV) radiation absorption properties. Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) demonstrate universal ligand characteristics and represent an innovative approach for converting industrial waste into value-added products. Given their potential applications in cosmetic formulations, efficacy and safety parameters, such as photoprotection mechanisms and phototoxicity, need to be investigated. Therefore, two kraft lignin fractions, LE and R1, along with a kraft bleached-pulp CNF, were evaluated for their phototoxicity and photoprotection mechanisms, both using HaCaT cell line (immortalized human keratinocytes) as in vitro model. Phototoxicity assessment involved exposing cells to UVA radiation (4 J/cm2), with subsequent comparison of cell viability between irradiated and non-irradiated samples. ROS quantification was performed using 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA) probe, with fluorescence intensity measurements, and was used to evaluate photoprotection effect. Results demonstrated that both LE and R1 exhibited concentration-dependent increases in phototoxicity, whereas CNF showed no phototoxic effects under the conditions tested. For photoprotection, LE, R1, and CNF reduced UV-induced ROS production, which can be associated with their antioxidant properties in the case of lignin fractions. These findings suggest that both lignin fractions and CNF hold promises for use in renewable and sustainable cosmetic formulations.

Published: February 2025

Metallic tubes are widely used in industrial applications. However, the internal smoothness and chemical resistance of metallic tubes are often major concerns. In contrast to the widely studied large-diameter metallic tubes (typically > 4 cm internal diameter) commonly investigated for surface modifications in industrial applications, we have focused on modifying the internal sur-faces of much smaller SS304 tubes (0.6 cm internal diameter) using nitrogen and argon PIII, as well as acetylene PIII&D. This study demonstrated that high-quality internal surface modifica-tions can be achieved with a straightforward setup and appropriate analysis techniques, even in tubes of industrial relevance with such small dimensions. In addition to gaining insights into the characteristics of hollow cathode (HC) and dielectric barrier (DB) discharges in small-diameter tubes, we found that Ar-PIII can partially mitigate the poor surface quality of as-received tubes. The addition of an N-PIII step further enhanced the internal surface, resulting in a smoother fin-ish with fewer trapped impurities. Moreover, acetylene PIII&D enabled the rapid deposition of a thick (>300 μm) Glassy Carbon film. These findings highlight the potential of these techniques for various plasma-related applications and industrial processes, offering promising avenues for future development.

Authors: Wu Shurui , Huang Xinyi
Published: February 2025

In view of the high incidence and complexity of mental health problems among low-income people, existing studies have mostly relied on structured data in electronic health records (EHR), ignoring the potential information contained in rich unstructured data. In order to effectively predict the mental health status of low-income people, this study cites a structured and unstructured data fusion model based on the most advanced deep learning technology. First, the BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) model is used to perform semantic understanding and feature extraction on the unstructured text data in EHR. Next, TabTransformer (Transformer-based Model for Tabular Data) is used to efficiently encode structured data and capture the complex relationships between data. Finally, through the multimodal fusion mechanism, structured and unstructured features are deeply integrated to form a comprehensive feature representation. In the experimental conclusion, the fusion model shows significant improvements in evaluation metrics such as accuracy, with accuracy increasing from 81.3% of the benchmark model to 85.2%. In addition, the cross-dataset generalization ability test shows that the model maintains good performance stability between different data sources. In the above conclusions, this study demonstrates the effectiveness of the fusion of structured and unstructured data in improving the accuracy of mental health prediction for low-income people, providing strong support for future precision medical interventions.
Microstructure, Tribological, and Corrosion Behaviour of HVOF-Sprayed (Cr₃C₂-NiCr+Ni) Coatings on Ductile Cast Iron
Authors: Ksiazek Marzanna , Boron Lukasz
Published: February 2025

The HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) thermal spraying method is widely used in surface engineering to produce coatings with high hardness, low porosity and high crack resistance. Composite coatings with particles of chromium carbide (Cr₃C₂) in a nickel-chromium alloy (NiCr) matrix are used in demanding operating conditions, such as the energy and transport sectors. The study aims to compare the microstructure, micro-mechanical and tribological properties and corrosion resistance of two types of coatings: Cr₃C₂-25(Ni20Cr)-10(Ni) and Cr₃C₂-25(Ni20Cr), deposited by the HVOF method on a ductile cast iron substrate. Particular attention is paid to the influence of nickel (Ni) particles on the microstructure, mechanical properties, wear resistance and corrosion in the context of improving the service life of coatings. The study included microstructure analysis using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as chemical and phase composition analysis in micro-areas using EDS and XRD techniques. The results show that the Cr₃C₂-25(Ni20Cr) coating enriched with Ni particles was characterised by a compact structure with low porosity and high hardness. Its microstructure consists of large, partially melted Ni particles and fine carbide particles (Cr₃C₂ and Cr₇C₃) embedded in the NiCr matrix, some of which reach submicron sizes. Performance tests, including indentation tests (HIT, EIT, KIC) as well as scratch and corrosion resistance tests, confirmed that the presence of Ni particles increases the coating's resistance to cracking, wear and corrosion. As a result, these coatings are characterised by higher operational durability, making them more effective in difficult working conditions.

Published: February 2025

This study explores the application of wireless wearable devices within the emerging domain of biomechanical feedback systems for sports and rehabilitation. A critical aspect of these systems is the need for real-time operation, where wearable devices must execute multiple processes concurrently while ensuring specific tasks are performed within precise time constraints. To address this challenge, we developed a specialized, lightweight periodic scheduler for microcontrollers. Extensive testing under various conditions demonstrated that sensor sampling frequencies of 650 Hz and 1750 Hz are achievable when utilizing 1 and 26 sensor samples per packet, respectively. Receiver delays were observed to be a few milliseconds or more, depending on the application scenario. These findings offer practical guidelines for developers and practitioners working with real-time biomechanical feedback systems. By optimizing sensor sampling frequencies and packet configurations, our approach enables more responsive and accurate feedback for athletes and patients, improving the reliability of motion analysis, rehabilitation monitoring, and training assessments. Additionally, we outline the limitations of such systems in terms of transmission delays and jitter, providing insights into their feasibility for different real-world applications.
Intussusception Adverse Events Post Vaccination and Etiology Model
Authors: Ricke Darrell
Published: February 2025

Aim: Intussusception is a rare serious adverse event (SAE) that occurs following immunization (AEFI) and viral infections. The etiology of intussusception is currently unknown. This study analyzes infant intussusception AEFIs. Methods: The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database is retrospectively examined for intussusception AEFIs in young children. Results: Intussusception AEFIs are associated with all rotavirus vaccines. The risk level is higher for infants age 0 than age 1 and also for specific other concomitant vaccine combinations. Conclusions: An etiology model of vaccine induced hyperplasia of Peyer’s Patches disrupting the tissue support of enclosed intestinal segment results in enfolding of this segment into the subsequent segment is proposed. To reduce risk levels, it is recommended to avoid concomitant administration of rotavirus vaccine with other vaccines (i.e., reducing the risk of hyperplasia in Peyer’s Patches). These results support the development and evaluation of rotavirus vaccines with improved safety profiles.
Perioperative and Anesthetic Considerations for Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID (PASC)/ Long COVID
Authors: Yogendra Ram , Perlowski Alice , Johng Breeana , Dahshan Hazem , Orr Christian , Jeffers Devon , Hussein Kamran , Patterson Bruce
Published: February 2025

Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID (PASC), commonly known as Long COVID, presents with a broad spectrum of medical conditions and symptoms persisting beyond three months post-SARS-CoV-2 infection, affecting over 18 million Americans and 65 million people worldwide. Despite its prevalence, to date, there are no specific clinical guidelines for the perioperative management of PASC patients. PASC is a complex, multisystemic condition leading to neurological, respiratory and endocrine sequelae, potentially resulting from persistent viral presence, immune dysregulation, and/or end-organ damage. This manuscript discusses the implications of these sequelae on anesthesia practice, emphasizing the need for vigilance in pre-operative assessments to identify PASC and associated conditions through detailed patient history, understanding of off-label medication use, and familiarity with medical terminologies like POTS, MCAS and brain fog. Key perioperative considerations include cautious use of anesthetics, especially in patients with neurological and cardiovascular complications. Pulmonary management strategies for PASC patients, such as lung-protective ventilation and non-invasive post-operative support could mitigate any perioperative respiratory complications. Finally, we underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to manage PASC patients effectively during surgery, advocating for personalized anesthetic plans and calling for more evidence driven guidelines for this emerging patient group as research progresses.
Synthesis and Characterisation of Highly Active and Coke Resistant Ni/SBA-15 Catalysts for Dry Reforming of Methane
Authors: Hajimirzaee Saeed , Iro Emmanuel , Olea Maria
Published: February 2025

A series of newly-developed Ni/SBA-15 catalysts were synthesised by combining strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) of [Ni(En)3 ]2+ (En = ethylenediamine), [Ni(NH3)6] 2+ and [Ni(EDTA)] 2- complexes, respectively, and engineered SBA-15 support, or, in other words, by adopting Charge Enhanced Dry Impregnation (CEDI), to produce highly active catalysts with very small nickel particles, resistant to carbon deposition, sintering and deactivation phenomena associated with nickel based catalysts in dry reforming of methane (DRM). In parallel, other Ni/SBA-15 catalysts were prepared by conventional incipient wetness impregnation method with [Ni(H2O)6]2+ complex and used as the reference catalysts. TEM, wide-angle XRD, EDX, TGA results and temperature programmed experiments confirmed that the catalyst’s preparation method has a strong impact on the size of the generated nickel particles and the amount of Ni deposited, which in turn were responsible for the catalytic activity and coke resistance. SEA on SBA-15 deposits from 4.8 wt% to 6.1 wt% Ni, depending on the complex used, while the DI deposits only 3% wt of Ni. The size of resulting Ni particles is between 3 and 8 nm for the unwashed SEA samples. For the DI unwashed samples, the size is significantly bigger, at 20 – 50 nm. For the SEA washed samples before calcination, i.e., those synthesised by using [Ni(NH3)6] 2+ and [Ni(En)3 ]2+ complexes, the Ni particles size is less than 1 nm. For these catalyst’s samples, only small amount of carbon was deposited during the DRM reaction as confirmed by TGA results at 0.08 and 0.13 %.

Authors: Jorge-Neto Pedro Nacib , Requena Letícia Alecho , Pizzutto Cristiane Schilbach , Balieiro Júlio Cesar de Carvalho
Published: February 2025

The resistance of small ruminants to synthetic anthelmintics and helminthosis poses considerable challenges to global livestock production. Integrating biological control with nematophagous fungi, particularly Duddingtonia flagrans, is crucial in addressing worm infestations. Although effective in experiments, the absence of a commercial product has been a limitation. The introduction of Bioverm®, the first commercial product using D. flagrans in Brazil, marks a significant advancement. This study on a Brazilian sheep farm evaluated a 167-day Bioverm® treatment, following moxidectin application, focusing on eggs per gram of feces (EPG), FAMACHA score (SCORE) and sheep weight (WEIGHT). Statistical results showed marked improvements in all parameters after 80 days with Bioverm®. EPG values gradually declined, demonstrating successful biological control, while SCORE increased steadily, stabilizing after 130 days. Minor weight changes indicated effective nutritional management. These outcomes suggest Bioverm® significantly reduces dependence on chemical anthelmintics and addresses resistance issues. D. flagrans thus emerges as a promising tool for managing nematode infestations without negatively impacting animal weight. This research enhances the understanding of Bioverm®'s role, confirming its practicality as a viable alternative for helminth control in varied environments, thereby reinforcing its strategic importance in livestock management.

RESEARCH OF FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN COMMERCIALIZATION OF INTELLECTUAL AND INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Ievsieiev A.
Published: February 2025

Abstract. The article studies foreign experience in commercialization of intellectual and innovative technologies in the activities of industrial enterprises. It is determined that synergistic interaction between universities, research centers, business and government is the basis for the formation of innovation ecosystems. At the same time, an important factor is state support in the form of grants, tax breaks, as well as promotion of venture financing, which stimulates the development of innovative enterprises. It is substantiated that the infrastructure for innovation (technology parks, business incubators and accelerators provide the necessary conditions for startups and young companies) in foreign enterprises has a significant impact on the efficiency of technology commercialization only if there is an effective patent system and intellectual property protection mechanisms that contribute to the introduction of developments into production. Emphasis is placed on the fact that international cooperation and adaptation of best practices in the commercialization of innovations, taking into account local conditions, play a key role in the formation of a competitive innovation policy.

Published: February 2025

Background:

Patients with lower-extremity amputations experience various pain types. Osseointegration allows for prosthesis wear through a bone-anchored implant. Patient-reported outcome measures following osseointegration have not been well studied. Our aim was to evaluate differences in pain and quality of life at 1 year after osseointegration of a bone-anchored limb.

Methods:

We analyzed the severity and types of pain as measured by validated patient-reported outcome measures. Data were compared between the initial visit and the 1-year postoperative visit.

Results:

Fifty-four patients were included in this study and demonstrated improvement in pain intensity as measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (p < 0.001) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health (PROMIS-GH) (p < 0.001), as well as residual limb pain when walking (p < 0.001), at 1 year postoperatively. The self-reported impact of pain on quality of life improved in both transfemoral and transtibial amputees (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:

The osseointegration of a bone-anchored limb improved patient-reported pain and quality of life in lower-extremity amputees.

Level of Evidence:

Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Published: February 2025

The study aims to evaluate mental health services provided to adults in Türkiye based on the perspectives of mental health professionals. Semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews are conducted with 22 health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, clinical psychologists, and social workers. Data are evaluated using descriptive and content analysis methods. Based on the analysis, eight themes are identified. The most coded theme is “Mental Health Service Delivery and Organization”, while the most coded sub-theme is “Lack of mental health law” and “Lack of access to mental health services”. Participants emphasize the necessity for service delivery centered on the patient and their family, prioritizing preventive mental health services, and the need to increase financial resources, qualified mental health professionals, and community mental health centers to enhance service quality and access. The findings indicate the need for new regulations in mental health policies that address the needs of stakeholders. It is concluded that the neglect of the mental health dimension in the planning and organization of healthcare services hinders the opportunity to contribute to public health and therefore, it needs to be considered a priority in the protection and promotion of public health.
Amendments to the Natural Gas Market Law and Market Concentration in the Turkish Natural Gas Market
Authors: Korkmaz Dicle
Published: February 2025

One of the main goals in the narrative of the Justice and Development Party for Türkiye is to become a regional trading natural gas hub. Reduction of the market concentration is a criterion to become a trading natural gas hub as this concept refers to a competitive market in which suppliers and buyers meet. The European Federation of Energy Traders has awarded Türkiye zero for the criterion of market concentration in the assessment of natural gas hubs in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023. The study analyzes the reasons for the market concentration in the Turkish natural gas market and questions the extent to which amendments dated April 2023 to the Natural Gas Market Law numbered 4646 serve as an opportunity to reduce market concentration in the market. It argues that weaknesses of the amended Law should be overcome and accompanied by changes in the method to subsidize the customers to reduce the market concentration.
