Authors: Jasim Qusay , Saleh Noah , Hussein Adnan
Published: February 2020

A double pipe heat exchanger is significant device for many industrial applications. In this paper, an experimental study using both porous media and nanofluid to enhance heat transfer in a double pipe heat exchanger is performed. The test rig has been fabricated with inner copper pipe of 1.10 m length, 16 mm, and 14 mm outside and inside diameter, respectively. While, the outer PVC pipe is 1 m length, 31 mm, and 27 mm outside and inside diameter, respectively. The inner pipe has been filling with 3 mm diameters of steel balls porous media. The experimental tests were performed utilizing alumina nanofluid (Al2O3-water) with two volume concentrations 0.5% and 1%. The volume flow-rates are in the range of (2-5) Lpm and 10 Lpm through inner and outer pipe, respectively. It was conducted with a constant 28?C inlet temperature of cold fluid-flow inside the inner pipe and 50?C inlet temperature of hot fluid-flow inside the outer pipe. Results indicated that the heat transfer enhanced as nanofluid volume concentrations and volume flow-rates increase. It was observed that effectiveness increases as increase of flow-rate and nanofluid concentrations.

Published: February 2020

Sharkskin-inspired riblets are widely adopted as a passive method for drag reduc?tion of flow over surfaces. In this research, large eddy simulation of turbulent flow over riblet-structured surface in a rectangular channel domain were performed at various Reynolds numbers, ranging from 4200-10000, to probe the resultant drag change, compared to smooth surface. The changes of mean streamwise velocity gradient in wall-normal direction at varied locations around riblet structures were also investigated to reduce mechanisms of streamlined riblet in reducing drag. The computational model is validated by comparing the simulation results against analytical and experimental data, for both smooth and riblet surfaces. Results in?dicating that the performance of the proposed streamlined riblet shows 7% drag reduction, as maximum, which is higher than the performance of L-shaped riblet with higher wetted surface area. The mean velocity profile analysis indicates that the streamlined riblet structures help to reduce longitudinal averaged velocity component rate in the normal to surface direction of near-wall region which leads to laminarization process as fluid-flows over riblet structures.

Published: February 2020

Oxygen concentration and biomass content are key factors of the combustion of a mixed sample of biomass and coal gangue. Herein, we studied the effect of oxygen concentration and biomass content and their corresponding combustion and kinetic characteristics. Experiments were conducted in a thermogravimetric analyzer under an O2/CO2 atmosphere. Results showed that the fixed carbon combustion temperature, ignition temperature, and exothermic peak temperature decreased with oxygen concentration increased. By contrast, the burning rate of volatilization increased with oxygen concentration increased. The total and maximum loss rates of the sample, the burnout temperature, the exothermic peak temperature, and the comprehensive combustion index S gradually increased. As oxygen concentration increased, the activation energy at the initial stage of combustion gradually decreased, whereas the activation energy at the end of the reaction gradually increased when the oxygen concentration increased. Activation energy could be rapidly reduced after a small amount of biomass was added, whereas the biomass content had no significant influence on the activation energy of the samples at the end of combustion.
Simulation analysis of performance optimization of gas-driven ammonia-water absorption heat pump
Authors: Zhou Jun , Li Shuhong
Published: February 2020

The generator-absorber heat exchange ammonia-water absorption heat pump has a relatively high efficiency and the COP is improved by recovering internal heat. In order to resolve the problem that generator-absorber heat exchange effect becomes less obvious or even fails under the working condition of large temperature lift, a novel system is proposed to recover the rectification heat and absorption heat by solution split method. Compared with the method of using total strong solution to recover absorption heat after extracting rectification heat, the method of solution split avoids the problem of high temperature of inlet strong solution of the solution cooled absorber, and improves the internal heat recovery capacity of the system. When using solution split method to recover the rectification heat and absorption heat, the solution split ratio K has an important influence on the system performance. This paper will theoretically study the selection range of the solution split ratio K and the effect of evaporation temperature, cooling water temperature and generation temperature on the optimum split ratio K. Compared to the system that uses the total strong solution to recover the rectification heat and absorption heat, the performance of the novel system is significantly improved, and the novel system performance coefficient can be increased by up to 15.7%.

В России более 10 лет в рамках национальных проектов проводят мероприятия, направленные на преобразование первичной и специализированной, в том числе высокотехнологичной медицинской помощи, усиление роли первичного медико-санитарного звена в целях раннего выявления злокачественных новообразований (ЗНО). Целью исследования было оценить результативность работы женских смотровых кабинетов (СК) в улучшении показателей кумулятивной скорректированной выживаемости (СкВ) больных с ЗНО женских половых органов, выявленных активно с 2005 по 2015 гг. на территории Челябинской области (ЧО). На основе базы данных Популяционного ракового регистра (ПРР) ЧО впервые осуществлены расчеты показателей кумулятивной СкВ больных с ЗНО шейки матки (389), тела матки (373) и яичников (161), выявленных активно в СК ЧО (основная группа), и случаи ЗНО шейки матки (395), тела матки (380) и яичников (163), выявленных в ходе самообращений пациенток (группа контроля). Стадийную структуру активно выявленных случаев ЗНО шейки матки в СК за период 2010–2017 гг. характеризует большой удельный вес I–II стадий по сравнению с остальной популяцией заболевших в ЧО — в среднем 50,8 и 46,1% соответственно, в отношении ЗНО тела матки — 85,5 и 82,0% соответственно, для овариальных раков — в среднем 42,0 и 37,4% соответственно. Анализ базы данных ПРР ЧО за 10-летний период позволил установить увеличение 5-летней кумулятивной СкВ для больных с диагнозом ЗНО шейки матки, выявленных активно в СК по сравнению с контрольной группой — 62,3 и 55,8% соответственно (p = 0,11). В отношении ЗНО тела матки — 82,0% в основной группе и 70,4% в группе контроля (p = 0,001). У больных с ЗНО яичников достоверных различий в показателях 5-летней кумулятивной СкВ не отмечено — 47,5% в основной и 43,2% в группе контроля (p = 0,49). Таким образом, СК — одна из эффективных организационных моделей вторичной профилактики рака на территории ЧО.

Published: February 2020

Бюлезнь Бюргера — это достаточно редкая патология, для которой характерно неатерогенное поражение сосудов с формированием в интиме сосуда воспалительного процесса и образованием тромба. Наиболее часто в патологический процесс бывают вовлечены артерии мелкого и среднего калибра. Окклюзия сосудов может привести к ишемии тканей, появлению трофических язв и стать причиной ампутации конечности. На сегодняшний день патогенез заболевания остается до конца неизученным. Литературные данные указывают на то, что развитие патологии может быть связано с аутоиммунными процессами. В статье представлены результаты иммуногистохимического исследования материала, полученного после ампутации нижней конечности у пациента с клиническим диагнозом болезнь Бюргера, имевшего 15-летний стаж курения. В воспалительных клеточных инфильтратах вокруг пораженных сосудов были обнаружены лимфоциты с антигенами CD4, CD8 и депозиты иммуноглобулинов IgG, которые могли служить подтверждением участия аутоиммунных механизмов в развитии заболевания. Иммуногистохимические реакции с маркерами NK-клеток CD56 и главного компонента системы комплемента С3d оказались отрицательными. Полученные результаты позволяют предположить, что основная роль в цепи патогенеза болезни Бюргера принадлежит Т-лимфоцитам-хелперам и супрессорам, а также гуморальным антителам класса IgG.

Pemilihan umum atau dalam istilah lain disebut Pemilu merupakan syarat yang mutlak untuk melaksanakan kedaulatan rakyat bagi negara demokrasi dan untuk mengokohkan dirinya sebagai negara demokratis. Sebuah Pemilu dikatakan demokratis atau tidak tergantung dari adanya badan atau lembaga penyelenggara Pemilu. Dalam rangka mewujudkan pemilu yang berkualitas dan berkapasitas, maka dibutuhkan lembaga penyelenggara pemilu yang profesional. Namun, hal tersebut akan sulit diwujudkan apabila antar lembaga pemilu itu sendiri yaitu antara “Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU), Badan Pengawas Pemilu (Bawaslu) dan Dewan Kehormatan Penyelenggara Pemilu (DKPP)” terus terjadi perbedan pendapat.  Perbedaan pendapat  ini terjadi karena adanya ketidakjelasan pengaturan penyelesaian masalah hukum pemilu yang tidak konsisten dan tidak pasti, terutama terkait mekanisme penyelenggaraan pemilu dalam lembaga penyelenggara pemilu sehingga pengaturannya harus diperbaiki dan secara tegas diperjelas tentang wewenang dan tanggungjawab masing-masing lembaga penyelenggara pemilu. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Tujuan diadakannya penelitian ini sebagai kritik agar antara KPU, Bawaslu dan DKPP menjalankan kewenangannya dengan memperjelas mekanisme penyelenggara pemilu.  Dengan penjelasan diatas, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa antara KPU, Bawaslu, dan DKPP harus memperjelas wewenangnya dan tanggungjawab masing-masing agar tidak menimbulkan perbedaan pendapat yang mana akan menghasilkan pemilu yang tidak demokratis.

Femoral osteomyelitis with subperiosteal collection in a young boy
Authors: Sharma Bharat Bhushan , Chandra Rajesh , Aziz Mir Rizwan , Sharma Shashi , Varma Meghna , Gupta Puneet
Published: February 2020

Background:

Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone and presents itself in different forms of symptomatology. The infection may spread either from the blood or the adjoining soft tissue structures. Sometimes, the findings are so subtle that even clinical presentation does not match with the ongoing infectious process. Subperiosteal collection is one such finding that may not be evaluated in plain radiography. This may be misdiagnosed due to their resemblance with similar type of pathology such as Morel–Lavallee lesion. A cross-sectional imaging evaluation is must to find the diagnosis in these types of conditions.

Case Presentation:

We present a 14-year-old male with similar type of swelling in the right thigh which appeared after 2 weeks of the blunt injury. Plain radiography was normal. Ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed it as a case of acute osteomyelitis with subperiosteal collection. The patient was treated with surgical drainage and broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Conclusion:

A cross-sectional imaging played a pivotal role in clinching the diagnosis of femoral osteomyelitis with subperiosteal collection. This also helped in the management and follow-up of the patient.
Navigating Allyship through Indigenization, Decolonization, and Reconciliation: Perspectives from Non-Indigenous Pharmacy Educators
Authors: Leung Larry , Min Jason
Published: February 2020

As pharmacy schools across Canada and North America work towards authentic and meaningful curriculum and learning opportunities in Indigenous health and cultural safety, the conversation of “why” we need to do this has become clearer, but the task of “how” we do this remains challenging. This curricular transformation can be increasingly more complex to navigate as a non-Indigenous ally and pharmacy educator. Defining your role as an ally is deeply personal and critically important, as it can transform based on the collaborative work undertaken with Indigenous partners and communities. The purpose of this article is to share perspectives gained over years of experience and practical applications of allyship through the lens of three key separate, but interconnected concepts – indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation.

This study aims to determine the characteristics of existing conditions, the perceptions of respondents of parking users, and the need for parking space based on the highest accumulation rate. Methods of data collection are done by a direct survey to the field to record the number and time of the vehicle when entering and exiting and survey the perception of respondents parking users by using questionnaires. The result of data analysis shows that the average daily vehicle volume is 2649 with the highest average accumulation is 639. Average vehicle duration per day is 1.65 vehicles/hour, average parking turn over value of 6 and parking index of 1.48%, this means that on average per day only 6 vehicles alternately occupy 1 parking space. Low parking turnover is due to the very high vehicle volume with a long parking duration but parking space available is very less ie as many as 432 parking spaces, so that the impact on over-capacity parking that can be seen from the high number of parking accumulation that occurred at the peak hour is at 12:30 to 13:00 pm. Of 313 respondents of parking users who responded to 16 parameters about the characteristics of parking lots, 5% stated very worthy, 23% stated feasible, 57% said it was not feasible, 11% expressed bad, and 5% said very badly. The model of parking space needs shows the relationship between vehicle volume and accumulation of R = 0,67 with the modely = 0,06972x + 454,07, Capacity and accumulation of R = 0,62,with the model y = 0,0696x + 454,07, Duration and accumulation of R = 0,60 with the model y = -91,72x + 789,49.

Published: February 2020

Background: Home-based medical care is expanding rapidly in Japan.Objectives: We aimed to identify the factors associated with outcomes of therapy in patients receiving home-visit rehabilitation.Methods: One hundred twenty-one patients receiving home-based rehabilitation were investigated. Nutritional status was assessed by the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF). The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) was employed to assess the activities of daily living (ADL). The body mass index (BMI), medical history, and orthopedic disease-related pain were also recorded. The primary outcome was the improvement in FIM scores in one year.Results: A total of 19 (17%) patients were malnourished and 58 (48%) were at risk of malnutrition. Malnourished patients had a lower FIM score at initiation than those at risk of malnutrition or with normal nutritional status. Only changes in patients’ BMI and MNA-SF scores over one year were significantly associated with improved FIM scores (p = 0.0079 and p = 0.0049, respectively). No association was noted with the other factors.Conclusions: This is the first report to demonstrate that changes in MNA-SF scores and BMI are significantly associated with rehabilitation outcomes in home-based care. Nutritional management is essential along with rehabilitation to improve ADL in the long-term home care setting.

A novel gas sensing mechanism exploiting the luminescence modulation upon NO2 adsorption is here demonstrated. Two isostructural lanthanide based-metal-organic frameworks are used including a recognition center (aminogroup) that provides high selectivity for NO2 molecules. Energy transfer from the organic ligands to Ln is strongly dependent on the presence of NO2, resulting in an unprecedented photoluminescent sensing scheme. Thereby, NO2 exposition triggers either a reversible enhancement or a decrease of the luminescence intensity, depending on the lanthanide ion (Eu or Tb). Our experimental studies combined with DFT and complete active space self-consistent field calculations, provide understanding of the nature and effects of NO2 interactions within the MOFs and the signal transduction mechanism.
Sol-Gel Biotemplating Route with Cellulose Nanocrystals to Design Photocatalyst Boosting the Hydrogen Generation

Published: February 2020

Light harvesting capability and charge carriers lifetime play critical roles in determining the photoefficency of photocatalyst. Herein, a one-pot method is proposed to design mesostructured TiO2 materials by taking advantage of the ability of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) to self-assemble into chiral nematic structures during solvent evaporation. After the xerogel formation, the as-obtained CNC/TiO2 hybrid films exhibit a chiral nematic structure and tunable Bragg peak reflection, generating lamellar TiO2 mesostructure after the biotemplate removal by calcination. More prominently, this straightforward method can be extended to couple TiO2 with other metal oxides, improving the light-harvesting and charge carriers separation of these photocatalysts, in particular for boosting hydrogen generation. This foolproof approach opens new doors for the development of nanostructured materials for solar energy conversion and catalysis.

This paper describes our efforts in proposing a novel mechanism for the formation of the major degradant of clobetasol propionate under weakly acidic conditions through a comprehensive investigation. In the proposed mechanism, the key Favorskii intermediate plays a critical role. This variation of the original Favorskii rearrangement, which proceeds only under alkaline conditions, has not been reported before. This mechanism enriches the understanding of the degradation chemistry of corticosteroids containing the α-haloketone moiety on their 17-position.

Published: February 2020

Hv1 is a voltage-gated proton channel whose main function is to facilitate extrusion of protons from the cell. The development of effective channel blockers for Hv1 can lead to new therapeutics for the treatment of maladies related to Hv1 dysfunction. Although the mechanism of proton permeation in Hv1 remains to be elucidated, a series of small molecules have been discovered to inhibit Hv1. Here, we compute relative binding free energies of a prototypical Hv1 blocker on a model of human Hv1 in an open state. We use alchemical free energy perturbation techniques based on atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The results support our proposed open state model, sheds light on the preferred tautomeric state of the blocker that binds Hv1, and lays the groundwork for future studies on adapting the blocker molecule for more effective channel blocking.

Az itt közölt esszé szerzője Bjarne Melkevik, a Montrealtól nem túl messzire fekvő Québec város Laval Egyetemének professzora. Talán nem túlzás azt mondani róla, hogy a jelenlegi kanadai francia nyelvű jogfilozófia egyik legfontosabb alakja. Melkevik professzor nem csak Québecben ismert, hiszen könyveit és tanulmányait számtalan nyelvre lefordították. A gazdag életmű részét képező egyik könyv Jevgenyij Pasukanisz jogelméletét mutatja be tárgyilagosan, nemzetközi perspektívába illesztve (elsősorban a Carl Schmitt által is kedvelt Maurice Hauriou munkásságával összevetve), és nemegy- szer kritikai szellemben. A szovjet szerzőt végső soron ahhoz a szociologizmust hirdető irányzatba sorolja Melkevik, ahová Roscoe Poundot is szoktuk. A jogfilozófus egy másik műve Habermasról szól, és azt vizsgálja, hogy a német filozófus kom- munikációelméletébe miként ágyazódik bele a jogfilozófiai nézetrendszere. Jürgen Habermas szerint a jog egyszerre tekinthető társadalmi intézménynek és az egyéni életvilág szférája felé irányuló közvetítő közegnek. A jogi érvényességet ezért szerinte diszkurzívan kell megalapozni. Ezt, ahogyan a tanulmányban részletesen is kifejtésre kerül, Melkevik is így látja. Egy jogállam tehát kommunikatívan akkor igazolt, ha az egyének életvilága képes egymással értelmes kommunikációt kialakítani úgy, hogy eközben a társadalmat integráló tényezőként a szolidaritás a pénz- és a közhatalom felett is legitim módon uralmat gyakorol.

Using the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) to investigate or research various social, cultural, health, or other related outcomes is appealing and has a lot of potential. The IDI offers sufficient numbers for researchers to investigate outcomes in Pacific communities to a level of detail not available in many studies. Additionally, it allows organisations to upload their own data to supplement measures in the IDI. The overall aim of this paper is discuss the appropriate values for research projects involving Pacific communities using IDI data; issues around ownership of data from Pacific communities; consent; identification; and other ethical considerations.

Although the IDI has a great deal of potential for Pacific health research, many findings based on research using IDI data have been recognised as deficit-framed and polarising for the communities they describe. Some would argue that such findings highlight discrepancies in health or social equity and point to deficiencies that should be the responsibility of governmental organisations. Most analyses stop short of investigating practical pathways for communities to find solutions that are sympathetic to the values or established infrastructure of those communities. Instead, most communities found themselves characterised by deficit and feeling solely responsible for their poor situation.

This paper proposes an extension to the Tivaivai/Tivaevae research framework and shows how it incorporates values that should be reflected in Pacific research using IDI data. With applications in a range of disciplines, the Tivaivai framework, like many Pacific research models, has been applied to quantitative or small mixed-methods projects, and usually restricted to Cook Islands research. This paper shows its usefulness can be applied to a strictly quantitative research framework, making it sympathetic to wider Pacific values as well as consistent with other familiar Pacific research frameworks. These concepts will be incorporated into a research project for an HRC funded Post-doctoral study investigating the value of education to health outcomes for Pacific families. It is hoped that this paper may provide a starting point for other quantitative Pacific research projects involving administrative or other big data.
Aedes Mosquito Control and Surveillance in the Pacific
Authors: Anderson Lydia , Sopoaga Fa'afetai , Jack Susan
Published: February 2020

Introduction:

Mosquitoes of the genus Aedes transmit dengue, Zika and chikungunya viruses, and the incidence of these diseases is increasing in the Pacific. This can be attributed to increased movement of people and goods, unplanned urbanisation, and global warming, among other factors. As vaccines are unavailable, we rely on vector control programs to prevent disease transmission. This study aimed to evaluate current practice in vector control and surveillance in 10 Pacific Island countries and identify evidence-based vector control interventions and surveillance methods for use in these countries.

 

Methods:

This study was conducted in preparation for TechCamp New Zealand, 24-26 January 2018, which aimed to work with stakeholders from 10 Pacific nations to reduce the spread of vector-borne diseases in the region. We conducted a literature review of published reviews and meta-analyses evaluating Aedes control and surveillance to find methods appropriate for use in Pacific Island countries. We collected information regarding current Aedes mosquito control and surveillance practice in 10 Pacific countries from TechCamp participants, through a survey, presentation and interview.

 

Findings:

Findings include evidence-based vector control interventions and surveillance methods, and current vector control and surveillance practice in 10 Pacific Island countries. Combinations of vector control interventions, applied appropriately, can prevent disease transmission. Although such programs exist in the Pacific, some interventions do not currently follow best practice. Key barriers to implementing evidence-based practice include lack of targeted education, internet and network coverage, personnel and expertise.

 

Conclusions:

Future goals for the region include the adaptation of current practice to evidence-based practice, and the development of vector and risk factor surveillance for targeted mosquito control. New developments should be sustainable and not reliant on internet or network real-time coverage. Education should be targeted to local communities to maximise community participation.

Introduction
Donation of human tissue is essential for biomedical research to improve our understanding of the causes and treatment of diseases. To facilitate this, researchers need to understand what approaches and processes make donation and storage more acceptable for various communities. This study explores the perspectives of Pacific peoples living in Dunedin, New Zealand on the use of human tissues for biomedical research.
Methods
In April 2018, four focus groups (total of 18 participants) were held with members of the Pacific community in Dunedin. Each group was demographically different, with groups consisting of; elders of mixed ethnicity, university students, medical doctors and one Tongan group of mixed ages. An open-ended questioning style was used, with specific prompts about participant’s perceptions of the purpose and processes for donating tissues for research and things that might make them more or less likely to donate.
Findings
There were a diverse range of views expressed, reflecting the diversity of participants across different ethnicities and ages. While participant responses varied widely in terms of enthusiasm or caution towards different types of donation, similar themes emerged regarding the importance of detailed informed consent, and respect and trust towards both the donors and/or their tissues. The importance of culture and religion on the attitudes or perspectives towards donation was also highlighted. Finally, it was perceived that donation is likely to be more acceptable if researchers are able to explain why their work is meaningful in a Pacific context and adapt to Pacific situations and/or concerns within the research protocols.
Conclusions
For Pacific peoples to derive the most benefit from research initiatives it is important that processes to collect human tissue are respectful of cultural protocols and expectations to support participation. This study provides useful information to support the evolution of guidelines within the NZ research context.

Цель работы. Исследовать состояние регионального банковского сектора и определить его роль в социально-экономическом развитии региона. Метод. В процессе исследования были использованы общенаучные приемы и методы системного и сравнительного анализа, эмпирического исследования (наблюдение, сравнение, сбор и изучение данных), синтеза теоретического и практического материала, а также статистического анализа. Результаты. В статье на основе рассмотрения объемов выданных кредитов экономическим субъектам региона и структуры кредитных вложений региональных и российских банков в экономику РД определена роль банковского сектора в социально-экономическом развитии Республики Дагестан. Область применения результатов. Результаты проведенного исследования могут быть использованы при разработке концепции «Основных тенденций развития экономики и денежно-кредитной сферы Республики Дагестан». Вывод. Cделан вывод о том, что региональный банковский сектор в современных условиях не играет активной роли как источник финансирования региональных предприятий и организаций, не в полной мере выполняет свою основную функцию – предоставление кредитных ресурсов для развития экономики, поскольку его ресурсов недостаточно для удовлетворения потребностей экономических субъектов региона.
