Published: September 2023

Aim: We aimed to examine the early oncological and clinical outcomes of the medial and lateral approaches for right hemicolectomy.
Materials and Methods: Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy patients who underwent medial and lateral approach techniques in our clinic between March 2010 and September 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data of the patients, tumor, and operation characteristics, operation, clinical, pathological, mortality, and morbidity outcomes were recorded. Data were compared with the Chi-square test or Fisher Exact test according to the expected value for categorical variables. The Mann-Whitney U test was used because the data for continuous variables were not normally distributed.
Results: In total, hundred and fourteen patients who underwent laparoscopic right colon resection were included. 47 patients were operated on with the medial approach, and 67 with the lateral approach. In terms of harvested lymph node number, operation time, estimated blood loss, first fluid intake, first solid intake, first flatus, blood transfusion history, length of stay, anastomotic leaks, and mortality were not significantly different between the two approaches (p>0.05). However, the number of positive lymph nodes was significantly higher in the medial approach (p=0.013).
Conclusion: The medial and lateral approaches are feasible and effective techniques for right hemicolectomy. There is no difference between the short-term oncologic results. However, randomized controlled studies are needed for long-term results.

Published: September 2023

Aim: No other studies investigated fatigue, sleep, physical activity, and kinesiophobia in individuals with hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of SARS-CoV2 disease on fatigue, sleep, physical activity, and kinesiophobia in individuals with systemic hypertension.
Materials and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out with a total of 99 people with hypertension, including 53 of them with SARS-CoV2 disease history. Patients were evaluated with the “International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for Heart (TSK Heart), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)”.
Results: People with hypertension in the SARS-CoV2 positive group had a significantly higher moderate PA sub score of the IPAQ (Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) minutes per week) (p=0.014). Besides, the FSS scores of SARS-CoV2 positive patients were significantly higher (p=0.019). FSS was moderately associated with TSK Heart and PSQI (r1=0.575, r2=0.654, respectively). TSK Heart was moderately correlated with moderate PA sub score of the IPAQ and IPAQ-Total score (r1=-0.394, r2=-0.436, respectively).
Conclusion: SARS-CoV2 was found to be responsible for fatigue in people with hypertension. Kinesiophobia was related with both total and moderate PA in COVID-19 positive hypertension patients. Besides, fatigue was correlated with kinesiophobia and sleep quality.

Published: September 2023

Hasat edilen tarımsal ürünler depolama sürecinde solunum faaliyetlerini bir süre daha devam ettirmektedir. Bu durum, içerdikleri yoğun nemden dolayı ürünlerin kısa sürede bozularak çürümesine neden olmaktadır. Çürüyen ürünlerin renk değerlerinde, görünüşünde, besin elementi ve biyokimyasal içeriğinde önemli ölçüde kayıplar meydana gelmektedir. Kalite kayıplarını en aza indirerek ürünlerin raf ömrünü artırmak amacıyla pek çok muhafaza tekniği uygulanmaktadır. Kurutarak muhafaza yöntemi; biyoaktif bileşenler yönünden ürünler daha konsantre olması, nakliyenin kolay olması, depolamanın ekonomik olması ve ürünün uzun süre bozulmadan muhafaza edilebilmesi gibi önemli avantajlara sahiptir. Kurutmada işlem süresinin uzun olması enerji tüketiminin artmasına sebep olmaktadır. Bu olumsuzlukları aşmak amacıyla kurutma işleminden önce termal ve/veya termal olmayan ön işlem uygulamaları yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı literatür araştırmaları kapsamında kurutma öncesi uygulanan termal (haşlama, ohmik ısıtma, mikrodalga, kızılötesi) ve termal olmayan (ozmotik dehidrasyon, soğuk plazma, darbeli elektriksel alan, gum arabic, şeker, bal çözeltisi, sitrik asit, ultrases) ön işlemlerinin incelenmesidir.

Authors: Li Zhutao , Zhao Xinxin , Yang Jue , Liu Menglei
Published: September 2023

Under certain working conditions, the car-following performance and longitudinal ride comfort of adaptive cruise control (ACC) vehicles are contradictory. Therefore, the extension coordinated control is introduced into the weighted design of each performance index under the model predictive control (MPC) framework to optimize the overall vehicle driving performance. In this article, the dynamic model of the ACC vehicle and the variable time headway model are established, and then the predictive model and its corresponding cost function under the MPC framework are designed. By using the co-simulation platform of CarSim and Matlab/Simulink, three different simulation conditions are established and compared with the traditional ACC operating results. It was determined that the tracking speed error in the acceleration stage can be reduced by approximately 40% and the acceleration amplitude can be reduced by between 8%–17%. Therefore, there is an optimization effect under this control method. This study provides a foundation for curving ACC under an extension coordinated control theory.
Characterizing the wetting behavior of 2D materials: a review
Authors: Yu Chuanli , Dai Zhaohe
Published: September 2023

A comprehensive understanding of the interaction between liquids and two-dimensional (2D) materials is pivotal for the manipulation, transfer, and assembly of 2D materials across a wide range of applications, from liquid cell microscopy to hydrovoltaics. This review discusses this interaction by surveying the intrinsic wettability of suspended 2D materials and the apparent wettability of substrate-supported 2D materials, both of which have recently been revealed through water contact angle (WCA) experiments. We discuss important factors that can affect the apparent WCA, including thin film elasticity, surface contamination, and the microstructure and electronic state of the underneath substrate. We also discuss some microscopic-level insights into the 2D material-liquid interface that have recently been provided via spectroscopy characterizations and surface energy measurements. By discussing the latest experimental advancements in characterizing the interaction between 2D materials and liquid droplets, this review aims to inspire future theoretical progress capable of unraveling the intricate and occasionally contradictory wetting behavior observed in 2D material systems.
Re-examining the gender factored agentic and communal career profession of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) students
Authors: Ohei Kenneth , Mantzaris Evangelos , Ntshangase Bhekabantu Alson
Published: September 2023

This paper examines the narrative about gender influence in students' career choices and professions is something that needs to be reconsidered to remain relevant in the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) and a society that is always evolving. The 4IR has resulted in disruptive innovation globally, wherefore, the technological innovation that includes artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. These disruptions, however, may be creative in that as some jobs are lost due to the development of artificial intelligence, new ones are created. Hence, a positive impact on key industries and sectors, like business, health, and education as the globe rapidly moves toward a more digital economy, many low- and middle-income countries face difficulties finding competent workers to fill crucial Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professions in growing markets. The fourth industrial revolution, which involves more than just technological transformation, is drawing attention around the globe. This shortfall is made worse by the underrepresentation of women in ICT-related fields. The demand for ICT professionals/ workers and the supply of job seekers with the necessary technical skills threaten the ability of the country (South Africa) to take part in a powerful driver of growth in the fourth industrial revolution. This paper is a systematic literature review supported by the theory of social cognitive career theory (SCCT) and expectancy-value theory (EVT). The findings revealed that gender disparity, inadequate career guidance, and educational career ambition play an enormous role amongst male and female students when choosing ICT as a career choice.

Authors: September-Brown P. , Daniels P. , Hart C.
Published: September 2023

In this article, a case study is presented for the development of a Scholarship of Engagement (SoE) engagement database, to map the engagement footprint of the university, and develop a Knowledge Management System (KMS) at the University of the Western Cape (UWC), in order to facilitate the process of knowledge sharing. The aim of this article is to discuss a process of creating baseline data, to explore and profile the institution’s SoE landscape, and facilitate a decentralised system of the SoE, based on an integrated approach to the institutionalisation of the SoE. The sharing of exemplars are important; consequently, in this article the context and role of the Community Engagement Unit (CEU), as well as the motivation for embarking on the project are explained. Additionally, the process from conceptualization, through implementation, to reflections on lessons learnt, and the future path of decentralisation, are plotted and documented. All partners pilot an integrative approach to implementation, to facilitate acceptance and uptake, while enablers that facilitate the process are identified, and decentralisation for the protection of academic freedom is highlighted. This case study is relevant to other universities, especially those on the African continent, as we attend to the broader decolonialisation agenda, which presents an exemplar for the duplication, adaptation, and creation of a SoE database, for universities to profile and present their anchoring in communities, following the principles of engagement that are aligned to transformation and social justice.

Streptococcosis on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Indonesian freshwater aquaculture
Authors: Taukhid Taukhid , Wajdy Edy Farid , Sugiani Desy , Nafiqoh Nunak
Published: September 2023

This review aimed to provide the current status of streptococcosis in freshwater aquaculture in Indonesia. So far, this disease has been mostly reported in tilapia aquaculture, and there have been no serious reports of this disease in other species of freshwater aquaculture. The disease is mostly encountered during the dry season or the transition period from the dry season to the rainy season or vice versa. Initially, the disease was mostly reported in tilapia larger than 250 grams, but in its development, it was also reported in smaller fish. The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) has classified this disease as a major disease in tilapia in Indonesia since 2014. Based on the characteristics of Streptococcus agalactiae isolates collected from diseased tilapia from various regions in Indonesia, two biotypes were found consisting of ?-hemolytic S. agalactiae (biotype I) and non-hemolytic S. agalactiae (biotype II). Biotype I cause disease with acute mortality patterns, while biotype II causes disease with chronic and persistent mortality patterns. Based on susceptibility to S. agalactiae during artificial infection testing, it is known that all tilapia strains that have been released to the public for aquaculture purposes are susceptible to infection with the bacteria; although each strain has a different level of susceptibility. Fish health management strategies that are based on preventive measures and relevant to sustainable aquaculture programs should be based on ecological-biological approaches such as the implementation of biosecurity systems, the use of vaccines for endemic diseases, probiotics, essential herbs, and the development of more disease-resistant populations.Keywords: health management, streptococcosis, Streptococcus agalactiae, tilapia
Mathematical Formulation to Differentiate between Naturally Occurred and Artificially Added Formaldehyde in the Ice Stored of Lizardfish (Saurida tumbil)

Published: September 2023

The practice of formaldehyde abuse as a food preservative, especially in fishery products, is commonly occurred. However, the differentiation of the formaldehyde origin in fish is difficult to be performed. Meanwhile, physical observation is not sufficient to determine the additional formaldehyde in fishery products. This study aimed to formulate a quantitative method to detect the origin of formaldehyde in fish. The formulation was developed based on the differences in some chemical properties (Formaldehyde (FA), Trimethylamine (TMA) and Trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) of fish treated with and without formaldehyde addition. The fish used as samples were beloso fish/lizardfish (Saurida tumbil). Fish were prepared with and without the addition of  formaldehyde and  then stored in ice for 21 days. The content of FA, TMA, and TMAO of gill and flesh during storage were analyzed every 3 days to determine the difference in the trend of distribution patterns of two fish treatments. The data were statistically processed to produce two mathematical formulas to identify the origin  of formaldehyde. The results reveal that detection of the origin of formaldehyde in fish could be done using two approaches: the diffusion rate approach (validation 75-100%) and the ratio of formaldehyde, TMA, and TMAO (validation 96,47%).Keywords: Formaldehyde, fishery product, food preservative, mathematical formalulation, Surida tumbil

Authors: Sakaguchi Ryuichi , Xavier Samuel Porfirio , Morinaga Kenzo , Botticelli Daniele , Silva Erick Ricardo , Nakajima Yasuhi , Baba Shunsuke
Published: September 2023

Background: The conformation of the recipient site for an inlay graft presents an increased contact with the parent bone compared to the onlay graft. This might favor bone growth within the inlay compared to the onlay grafts. Hence, the objective of this study was to compare bone incorporation and remodeling process of xenogeneic en bloc grafts, placed using two bone grafting techniques, i.e., onlay vs. inlay. Methods: In this prospective, randomized, split-mouth study (test and control sides in the same animal), two bone grafting techniques were comparatively evaluated on the lateral aspect of the rabbit mandibles. One side was prepared with perforations (onlay site), whereas the other side was prepared with trephines and drills to obtain a wide (7 mm) standardized recipient site (inlay site). A xenogeneic bone block was fixed in the center with a titanium screw in both sides of the mandible and covered with a collagen membrane. Two healing periods were applied in the study: 2 and 10 weeks of healing. Results: after 2 weeks of healing, the mean percentage of new bone was 10.4% and 23.3% at the onlay and inlay grafts, respectively (p=0.022). After 10 weeks of healing, new bone increased to 13.2% and 25.4%, respectively (p=0.080). In this period of healing, the inlay grafts presented new bone percentage >20% in all regions examined while the onlay graft presented a lower percentage in the most external regions of the graft. Conclusion: The percentage of new bone increased faster and was higher in the inlay compared to the onlay grafts. The composition of the grafts allowed new bone to reach the most peripheral regions in both graft groups, even though it was higher in the inlay group. A marginal closure of the defects by newly formed bone was observed in the inlay group.

Published: September 2023

Contamination by microplastics (MP) in aquatic ecosystems is largely due to the release of millions of these particles from treated effluents from Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP). Due to the lack of policies and regulations that establish criteria for the control and elimination of MP from WWTP effluents, this research evaluated the presence of MP for particle sizes of 38 and 150 µm in influents and effluents from three WWTP in the port of Acapulco, Mexico. Using optical microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques, the MP detected were polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). MP removal efficiencies of 82.5 to 98.7% (38 µm) and 86.8 to 97.5% (150µm) were obtained; the MP average daily emissions to the receiving bodies of these three WWTPs were in the ranges of 9.5 x 106 - 4.70 x 108 particles and the annual emissions in the range of 3.05 x 109 - 1.72 x 1011 particles. This work reveals the urgency of implementing regulatory policies to avoid the continuous emission of MP to aquatic ecosystems from WWTPs in Acapulco, Mexico.

Authors: Li Kun , Zhu Xinke , Qin Huawei , Hou Fei
Published: September 2023

According to the development needs of marine seismic station networking, it is necessary to develop a marine seismometer with a networking function to realize quasi-real-time and large-scale long-term observation of undersea seismic signals. This can lay a solid foundation for marine seismic research and research on earth tectonics, activities, and processes. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of the existing observation equipment, this study proposed to develop a new type of the Autonomous Glide Marine Seismometer(AGMS) that can be applied to the global sea area, focusing on the design and study of the main structure of the carrier of the AGMS. The ultimate strength of the ellipsoidal pressure-resistant spherical shell is investigated by using the finite element analysis method. A reasonable finite element analysis model is proposed through comparing the finite element parameter results with the theoretical formulas and relevant specifications. Finally, the design process and strength checking of the pressure-resistant shell of the AGMS are established. These relevant results can also provide a reference for the design of other deep-sea pressure-resistant chambers.

Flood is one of the most common disaster in Assam.The situation gets worse when pandemic hits the place during the flood time. The paper indicates about women’s flood related lived experiences during pandemic. It is thought that floods will increase the global burden of disease, morbidity, mortality, social and economic disruptions, and will place a continuing stress on health services, especially in low-resource countries. Natural disaster hampers both the men and women. Pandemic means the disease whose prevalence has been all over the world. Covid 19 has been the recently developed pandemic that touches each and every corner of the world. But within such obstruction, both the male and female’s lived experiences of health might be different from each other. This paper articulates the gendering lived experiences of pandemic during the time of flood. However here an attempt has been made to understand women’s negotiation with their everyday life during such time and whether different social, political and cultural capital have been significant factors as far as the negotiation is concerned that has also been discussed through this study. However, on the descriptive note, narrative analysis has been done to understand the women’s negotiation in their everyday life.The study is conducted at different places of Nalbari and Golaghat Districts of Assam. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, translated into English and qualitative analysis was done . How disaster made adverse impact on women's everyday life that has been tried to understand through this paper.

Multidimensional Readiness Index for Electrification of Transportation System in China, Norway and Sweden
Authors: Bhatti Harrison John , Danilovic Mike , Nåbo Arne
Published: September 2023

The main objective of this paper is to develop a readiness index model that can serve as an analytical tool for exploring the achievements of electrification of transportation systems. We have applied this readiness index model to evaluate the readiness positioning of China, Norway, and Sweden to-wards transport electrification. We have chosen these three countries as they represent diversity among countries that are in the process of adopting electric transport system solutions. Our developed readiness index model has four key dimensions, technological readiness, political readiness, societal readiness, and economic readiness. The embeddedness of all four dimensions in one model provides a multi-perspective way of analyzing and evaluating the readiness levels of countries moving towards transforming the transportation system. Therefore, we named the model a “multidimensional readiness index.” Our main conclusions are that the political processes and political decisiveness involved are the most important factors followed by the societal needs and economic ability, with the current technology available as the fourth. Without the participation of dedicated and determined political decision-makers being involved, the other three factors are challenging to obtain. Political decision-makers need to facilitate the use of economic means to support the transformation in the society and affected industries to balance the initial economic disadvantages of the electrically powered systems until they pass the cost disadvantage turning point. The development of the relevant technology is no longer a great barrier as it was at the beginning of this transformation, about 20 years ago. The technology for electrically powered transportation systems and devices is widely available now, although it is continuously evolving and being improved. Associated industries cannot be expected to initiate, finance, take the risk, and take the lead in this global societal transformation without clear and strong political support.

Authors: Włodarczyk Renata , Wichliński Michał , Kępa Kamil
Published: September 2023

The rapid development of the photovoltaic (PV) industry will result in an increase in the amount of electrical and electronic waste from used PV panels. Only in Poland, the total capacity installed in photovoltaic sources in Poland in May 2020 exceeded 1,950 MW, and the installation weight was approximately 120,000. tone. The problem arises in the recycling or management of this waste. This work presents methods used to recycle waste into photovoltaic modules. The authors investigated the possibility of mechanical and chemical processing of crystalline silicon. A method of thermal treatment of the panel was also proposed. As a result of the research, it was found that the stage of separating materials (crystalline cream, EVO foil, aluminum frame) plays an important role in the recycling process, which is not easy. Chemical treatment allows the silicon to become plastic and the temperature melts the back layer of the panel.

Authors: Joshi Anita , Su L. Joseph , Orloff Mohammed S
Published: September 2023

(1) Background: A history of TB is a known risk factor for long-term respiratory impairment affecting lung functions in both restrictive and obstructive lung disease. (2) Methods: We analyzed data from the NHANES 1 Epidemiologic Follow-up Study (NHEFS), a longitudinal study conducted on non-institutionalized adult US population, ages 25-74 years. Approximately 93 percent (n=13,383) of the cohort was successfully traced by the end of the survey period and was available for analysis. The final adjusted model included age groups, gender, family income, lifetime smoking, BMI, and frequency of alcohol consumption as potential confounders. (3) Results: Estimated hazards ratio of developing Emphysema during follow-up in individuals that had a past diagnosis of TB was 54% lower (95% CI = 0.35, 0.61) as compared to individuals with no past TB, after controlling for potential confounders and using proportional hazards regression appropriate to the complex sample design. The association, however, was not statistically significant (HR = 0.862, p-value = 0.38) when only self-reported history of TB was considered as the exposure. (4) Conclusion: Tuberculosis (self-reported or LTBI) was strongly (but inversely) associated with Emphysema incidence. The association was not statistically significant with only self-reported history of TB as exposure.

Incidence of COVID-19 has been associated with sociodemographic factors. We investigated variations in SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence at sub-national levels in the Dominican Republic and assessed potential factors influencing variation in regional-level seroprevalence. Data were collected in a three-stage cross-sectional national serosurvey from June to October 2021. Seroprevalence of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (anti-S) was estimated and adjusted for selection probability, age, and sex. Multilevel logistic regression was used to estimate the effect of covariates on seropositivity for anti-S and correlates of 80% protection (PT80) against symptomatic infection for ancestral and Delta strains. A total of 6,683 participants from 134 clusters in all 10 regions were enrolled. Anti-S, PT80 for ancestral and Delta strains odds ratio varied across regions, Enriquillo presented significant higher odds for all outcomes compared with Yuma. Compared to unvaccinated, receiving ≥2doses of COVID-19 vaccine was associated with a significantly higher odds of anti-S positivity (OR 85.94, [10.95-674.33]), and PT80 for ancestral (OR 4.78, [2.15-10.62]) and Delta strains (OR 3.08, [1.57-9.65]) nationally, and also for each region. Our results can help inform regional-level public health response, such as strategies to increase vaccination coverage in areas with low population immunity against currently circulating strains.

In the last years, various changes and enhancements have been made to the technical structure of the substituted boreholes in comparison to the old boreholes. Increasing production capabilities from an individual borehole and/or a borehole field has engineering significant and economic value. Unfortunately, we are unable to change the composition of the aquifer lithology and its hydraulic properties and therefore, increasing the extraction capabilities from an individual borehole is possible by using technical improvements in drilling methods, in borehole design and in its final structure. This is illustrated through examples from two different aquifer basins, where substituted boreholes were drilled adjusted to the old borehole and in the same yard. The substituted boreholes were drilled to similar depth and to the same lithology as those in the old boreholes. That is, any discrepancies in hydraulic parameters attributable to changes and improvements in the borehole design and structure.

Controlling injection parameters is paramount when it comes to producing high-quality green parts using powder injection molding. This work combines experimental and numerical approaches to study the impact of injection parameters on mold in-cavity pressure and on the overall quality of green parts produced by low-pressure powder injection molding. The properties of two low-viscosity feedstocks (formulated from a water-atomized stainless-steel powder and wax-based binder system) were measured and implemented in an Autodesk Moldflow numerical model to quantify the molding pressures, which were finally validated using experimental real-scale injections. The results confirmed that an increase in mold temperature, an increase in feedstock temperature, and a decrease in solid loading decrease the mold in-cavity pressure, which was correlated with the feedstock viscosity. As a key result, real-scale injections confirmed that a minimum flow rate was required to avoid atypical high in-cavity pressure leading in several visual defects such as weld lines, flow marks, cracks, sinks, and incomplete filling. Due to differences in its thermal transfer properties, this flow rate threshold value decreases as the feedstock solid loading increases. For injection speeds higher than this value, the injection pressure measured experimentally was linearly correlated with the injection flow rate.
Etiology, Clinical Approach, and Therapeutic Consequences of Hyponatremia
Authors: Spasovski Goce , Lameire Norbert
Published: September 2023

The perturbation in water balance rather than any change in salt content is the main cause of hyponatremia, the most frequent electrolyte abnormality defined as serum sodium concentration <135 mEq/L. Hyponatremia may be divided as mild (Na>120 mEq/L) or severe (Na<120 mEq/L) hyponatremia, most frequently observed in elderly ICU hospitalized patients.

Based on tonicity hyponatremia may be hypotonic (decreased concentration of solute), isotonic, and hypertonic (falsely low sodium). According to the volume of the extracellular fluid (ECF) hyponatremia is further divided as hypovolemic, euvolemic, or hypervolemic hyponatremia. Finally, hyponatremia may develop rapidly as acute (<48 h) with usually severe symptoms, or slowly as chronic hyponatremia, being usually asymptomatic or with mild symptoms.

Patient’s medical history and clinical symptoms and signs could point to a certain diagnostic direction. Acute severe hyponatremia is presented with headaches, vomiting, nausea, fatigue, impaired cognition, gait with increased falls symptoms etc., while the severe symptomatology due to hyponatremic encephalopathy is presented as confusion, agitation, seizures, or even coma and death. Nevertheless, an urgent evaluation of the volume and neurological status is essential for prevention of neurological damages.

The treatment of hyponatremia should of course be based on the underlying cause, the duration and degree of hyponatremia, the observed symptoms, and volume status of patient.

The article analyzes the transitional mode of movement of a passenger train caused by emergency braking by the driver. To study the possibility of derailment of passenger cars, a simulation model of the movement of a train consisting of a locomotive and twenty passenger cars was developed in the Universal Mechanism software environment, designed to study the dynamics and kinematics of mechanical systems, which include railway rolling stock. The developed model allows taking into account the longitudinal, transverse and vertical vibrations of all cars and locomotive. All bodies in the model are assumed to be absolutely rigid. The assumption of non-deformability of the bodies is based on the fact that the stiffness of the spring suspension and elastic connections is significantly less than the structural rigidity of the bogie frames and the bolster structure, and the frequency of elastic vibrations of these bodies is much higher than the frequency of their vibrations on the spring suspension. Passengers and cargo in a wagon are considered to be non-deformable and integral with the wagon body, similarly in the case of a locomotive body. Between the elements of the system, connections are involved that regulate certain relative movements of these elements.

The quasi-beta processing was considered as a promising processing technology to obtain a component with an excellent mechanical properties. To achieve an optimized quasi-beta processing parameter of TC21 alloy, the hot deformation behavior in near β phase region for the alloy with a forged structure was investigated by the thermal compression test and finite element (FEM) simulation. The obtained results indicated that the flow behavior of the samples was significantly influenced by the hot deformation parameters and it exhibited a flow hardening behavior at the start stage of deformation. Based on the experimental data, the constitutive equation and processing maps were obtained. The optimum hot processing parameters was 986℃/10^-3s^-1. Based on the FEM simulation results, the evolution of temperature field, strain field and stress field in the deformed samples at different strains exhibited a similar trend in the unstable region, which distributed symmetrically along the center line of the samples, and the center area of the samples was the highest and the center area of the section was the lowest.

(1) Background: Central nervous system (CNS) development is characterized by dynamic changes in cell proliferation and differentiation. Key regulators of these transitions are the transcription factors such as SOX2 and SOX9. SOX2 is involved in the maintenance of progenitor cell state and neural stem cell multipotency, while SOX9, expressed in neurogenic niches, plays an important role in neuron/glia switch with predominant expression in astrocytes in the adult brain. (2) Methods: To validate SOX2 and SOX9 expression pattern in dissociated primary neuronal cultures derived from opossum (Monodelphis domestica), we used immunohistochemistry (IHC) and the isotropic fractionator method on fixed cortical tissue from comparable postnatal ages; (3) Results: Neurons positive for both neuronal (NeuN or TUJ1) and stem cell (SOX2) markers were identified and their presence was confirmed with all methods and postnatal age groups (P4-6, P6-18 and P30) analyzed. SOX9 showed exclusive staining in non-neuronal cells, and it was coexpressed with SOX2. (4) Conclusions: The persistence of SOX2 expression in developing cortical neurons of M. domestica during first post-natal month implies the functional role of SOX2 during neuronal differentiation and maturation, which was not previously reported in opossums.
Possibilities of Sale Forecasting of Textile Products with a Short Life Cycle

Almost 115 million tons of fibers of which almost 90 million tons of chemical fibers were produced in the world in 2021, which are mainly used for the production of clothing and footwear. 30% of textile and apparel products are never sold, which means an extreme waste production. This article points out the possibilities of forecasting the sales of clothing in the case of one relatively large online store. Inadequate stocks of textile products in the company lead to loss and the need to sell products at a discount, which is undesirable for the company. The study in this article points to the calculation of the sales forecast for 2019 for the selected textile products, finding the analogy of the followed product sale. Sales for the years 2017 and 2018 serve as input data. The problem with textile products is that they have a short life cycle, i.e. the length of the life cycle is approximately half a year, and a high seasonality is also presented there. Therefore, the seasonal indices and Holt-Winters methods (multiplication and additional approaches) were used for products forecasting. Ultimately, this model could contribute to reducing the loss of unsold goods and thus reduce the waste of resources and increase the use of goods in other similar companies.

The perception of the impacts of climate risks on health systems in the Grand Lomé region of Togo is diverse. This study was carried out based on information collected in the field. The investigation was based on a questionnaire, individual interviews and field observations. Data collection was carried out in a purposive manner in twenty-four (24) health facilities with a total of 112 health service people and 13 resource people affected. This article presents the results on the perception of the impacts of climate change on health personnel, the environment and buildings. The results show that 92.31% of respondents attest that climate change has impacts on health personnel; 84.62% on the environment and 84.62% on buildings and other health infrastructure. This study shows that climate change has real consequences on human health. It is therefore urgent that those responsible for health systems in the Grand Lomé region, which is home to the capital of Togo, can focus on finding adaptation measures in relation to each health structure and according to its intervention platform.
