Authors: Khor Chin Yee , Mubin Siti Azreena
Published: October 2024

This study explores the integration of mobile Augmented Reality (AR) applications within the context of the National Museum of Malaysia, focusing on enhancing the educational experience for visitors. The project aims to address the challenge of enhancing museum experiences through innovative technologies. The research problem centers on designing an AR application for the National Museum of Malaysia to enrich the visitor engagement and understanding, as stemmed from the decline in museum visitors, with the National Museum of Malaysia experiencing a staggering 70% drop in income in 2020 and 2021. Utilizing Unity Editor and other libraries, the project developed the National Museum AR App, featuring four distinct AR experiences corresponding to different exhibits within the museum. Methods involve AR content creation, user testing, and data analysis. Overall, findings suggest that the AR application effectively meets visitors' learning needs and enhances the educational value of museum exhibits by providing unique AR features. The significance of the project lies in its potential to transform cultural heritage tourism by bridging the gap between traditional museum experiences and digital engagement. The study also serves as a preliminary investigation to guide the future development and deployment of AR applications within the museum setting.
Navier-Stokes-ω model with slip and friction boundary conditions at high Reynolds numbers
Authors: Ilhan Ö.
Published: October 2024

The no-slip boundary condition is indeed a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics, especially for flows at lower Reynolds numbers where viscous effects dominate. However, inertial effects become more significant at higher Reynolds numbers, and the no-slip condition might not accurately represent the behavior of the fluid near the boundary. In such cases, partial slip or slip boundary conditions become more relevant as they take into account the slip between the fluid and the boundary. This study offers the presentation of numerical experiments for a 2-dimensional channel flow, through a step Navier-Stokes-ω model at high Reynolds numbers. The slip boundary conditions with friction is used in these numerical tests, namely along the step and on the lower and upper walls. The impact of the friction coefficient on the flow characteristics is illustrated. Especially for large Reynolds numbers, the effect of the friction coefficient on the flow region is examined. In the numerical tests, the Crank-Nicolson method is used for time discretization, while the Galerkin finite element method is applied for space discretization. It can be observed that as the coefficient of friction decreased, the eddies are further away from the step and moved towards the outer flow. In addition, the size of the eddies are larger for small coefficients of friction. For Re = 5000, the reattachment length calculated on a fine mesh at time T = 50 is close to the step. For Re = 10000, the reattachment lengths determined for different friction coefficients on both meshes are very similar, with eddies forming just behind the step. Similarly, for Re = 15000 and β = 0.0001, the reattachment lengths calculated on the fine mesh are farther from the step. Conversely, for other values of β, the reattachment lengths are close to the step. The results are explained according to flow physics.
Promoting sustainable wastewater treatment operations: The role of lean practices and lean six sigma enablers
Authors: Mohamad Effendi , Ishak A. , Arep H.
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the influence of Lean Six Sigma enablers (LSS_En), comprising strategy, environment, culture, resource, and linkage based on Sustainable Performance (Sus_Perf) in wastewater treatment plants of Malaysian and Multi-national Companies (MNCs), using data from 276 respondents. Additionally, the study examines the intervening impact of lean practices (LPs), specifically statistical process control, human resource management, and total productive maintenance, on this relationship. Employing partial least squares structural equation modelling, the analysis demonstrates a positive and significant impact of LSS_En on Sus_Perf, with β = 0.406, p = 0.001 for Malaysian companies, and β = 0.608, p = 0.001 for MNCs. Furthermore, the impact of LSS_En on LPs is also significantly positive in both types of companies, with β = 0.544, p = 0.001 for locals, and β = 0.546, p = 0.001 for MNCs, respectively. However, the relationship between LPs and Sus_Perf is insignificant in MNCs, with β = 0.126, p > 0.05, while Malaysian companies show a stronger impact with β = 0.418, p = 0.001. Multi-group analysis confirms that local companies excel in H3 with a significant difference of 0.289, p = 0.043. However, the intervening role of LPs in H4 shows no significant difference between the two company types in the LSS_En and Sus_Perf relationship when p > 0.05. This research highlights the scarcity of studies exploring the impact of LSS enablers on sustainable performance in Malaysian wastewater treatment plants and emphasizes the role of LPs by focusing on ownership contributions.

Published: October 2024

Bioplastics have become a subject of interest for numerous purposes, such as food packaging and biomedical applications. Synthetic plastic takes around 100 years to degrade due to its hydrophobic nature. The objective of this study was to identify the physical properties of thermoplastic starch (TPS)/ banana peel (BP) at eight different concentrations of banana peel (BP), namely 5 wt.%, 10 wt.%, 15 wt.%, 20 wt.%, 25 wt.%, 30 wt.%, 35 wt.% and 40 wt.%. BPs were cleaned, oven-dried at 70 ℃, and ground into a particle size of 0.23 ± 0.02 mm. BP extract was obtained through the maceration process to develop eight different concentrations of TPS/BP. The bioplastic characteristics regarding physical properties were presented using FTIR analysis, SEM analysis, density, and porosity tests. The resulting FTIR spectra revealed a similar pattern. However, the peak at 2853.5  revealed the presence of BP extracts with a slightly sharper spectrum. The 40 wt.% TPS/BP indicated uneven surface and the presence of predominant elements of  Mg, Na, Ca, and Fe, with values of 1.04%, 7.82%, 14.10%, and 7.52%, respectively. The 0 wt. % TPS/BP showed the highest degradation rate of 1.89 g and density of 1.32 But the lowest porosity of 0.09%. The TPS/BP biodegradable plastic has provided significant good physical properties to replace other synthetic polymers.
New constant-velocity component paths for objects moving in vertical space
Authors: Pakdemirli Mehmet
Published: October 2024

Paths of vehicles under restricted conditions are of technological interest in navigation engineering. One such restriction may be to fix one of the velocity components during motion. For objects moving in a two-dimensional vertical space, the differential equations determining the paths of the objects for which one of the velocity components remains constant are derived. First, the no thrust force case is investigated. The two paths in which the velocity components remain constant are determined by finding exact solutions of the associated differential equations. While the constant x-component case produces the well-known parabolic solution, the constant y-component case reveals a new solution called the 2/3 rule. Then, the differential equations for an object moving with constant x and y velocity components are derived separately for the constant-magnitude thrust force case. Since the equations inherit high nonlinearities, exact analytical solutions cannot be obtained for the constant-magnitude thrust force case. Instead, approximate solutions obtained by the Perturbation Iteration Method are compared with the Runge-Kutta numerical solutions. Within the range of validity, the approximate solutions can be employed to determine the path instead of the numerical solutions. The approximate analytical solutions would reduce the computational cost of integrating the original numerical solutions. The study may find applications in determining the paths of flying objects such as projectiles, rockets, and aerial vehicles.

Published: October 2024

Using natural corrosion inhibitors from calcium carbonate has gained attention in corrosion prevention approaches as it offers comparable and significant benefits compared to other corrosion inhibitors. Consequently, eggshells with a high amount of calcium carbonate were proposed as a corrosion inhibitor to evaluate the effect on the corrosion behaviour of AISI 1020 steel. In this study, the eggshell waste was extracted in ethanol solution using a Soxhlet extractor and thickened through the rotary evaporator to produce the proposed natural corrosion inhibitor with 10%, 20%, and 30%. The characteristics of the inhibitor were then examined and verified through FTIR and XRD analysis. The corrosion performance was then evaluated through the weight loss method in 1.0 molar hydrochloric acid in different durations, which are 7, 14, and 21 days. The corrosion rate and inhibiting efficiency were also performed to analyse the effect of eggshell concentration on the AISI 1020 steel. In addition, macrostructure observations were executed to assess the physical appearances of the samples. The results show that the proposed eggshell inhibitor successfully helped improve the inhibiting efficiency of AISI 1020 steel by 88.37%. Additionally, increasing the eggshell concentration decreases the corrosion rate and increases the inhibitor efficiency. This is due to CaCO3 in eggshells, a barrier to metal surfaces. Results indicate that selecting eggshell as a natural corrosion inhibitor successfully and confirmably protected the surface. Thus, this study is a viable utilisation of sustainable use from eggshell waste in reducing the corrosion occurrence of AISI 1020 steel in an acidic environment.

Published: October 2024

[Objective] Verify the levels of exposure to SO2 and H2S of park rangers at the Poás Volcano National Park, using OSHA international standards as a reference. [Methodology] SO2 and H2S concentrations were studied from September 2018 to December 2019 and February 2019 to December 2019, respectively using MultiRae portable detection equipment. Sampling points were placed at the ranger’s house, the entrance station, the visitors' center, and the overlook. The level of chemical risk was determined taking into consideration: the workers’ health, exposure time, safety equipment, training, and TWA and STEL values obtained. [Results] The highest SO2 concentration was 16.0 ppm, which was recorded at the visitor center, while the highest H2S concentration was 45 ppm, which was obtained from the park ranger’s house. The average gas concentration was close to the detection limit for both gasses, suggesting that gasses, in general, are not directed toward visitors’ areas. No measurement station exceeded 2 ppm for SO2 in 8 hours (TWA). However, in the visitors’ center and the overlook, SO2 exceeded 5 ppm in 15 minutes (STEL) with concentrations equal to 10.1 ppm and 7.4 ppm, respectively. [Conclusions] Low levels of chemical hazard were obtained for both gasses at the sampling points, except for the visitors’ center which had a medium level.

Published: October 2024

The perinatal transmission of HIV is preventable through a regimen that includes testing of all pregnant individuals, antiretroviral treatment (ART) for the pregnant individual, prophylactic or preventative ART for the infant, and cesarean section delivery for mothers with HIV viremia at the time of delivery. Under this protocol, the United States has seen a significant decline in the perinatal transmission of HIV and achieved a perinatal HIV transmission rate of 0.9% in 2019. However, despite this progress nationally and after zero transmissions in 2021, Maryland recorded 6 cases of perinatal HIV diagnoses in 2022. Each of the 3 major referral centers for pediatric HIV patients in Maryland reported 2 new cases in 2022. A root cause analysis of the cases identified risk factors including delayed entry into perinatal and HIV care, premature birth, maternal adherence challenges in the setting of substance use and other adverse social determinants of health, and failure to diagnose maternal HIV infection in a timely way. All patients were successfully linked to care and initiated on ART. Multiple factors contributed to the 2022 increase in cases of perinatal HIV in Maryland. To achieve and then sustain the elimination of perinatal HIV transmission, the constancy of systems that eliminate barriers for all pregnant people to access testing, prevention, and treatment is critical.

Published: October 2024

Diversos instrumentos estão disponíveis para avaliação dos Cinco Grandes Fatores de personalidade. Porém, possíveis limitações dessas ferramentas podem ser destacadas na avaliação de pessoas idosas. Neste estudo, verificamos a presença de viés de resposta (DIF) no Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) em razão da idade do respondente. Participaram 808 adultos, com idades entre 17 e 93 anos (M=33,08, SD=19,46), que responderam o BFI-2. Foram identificados 15 itens com efeito de DIF: nove de Conscienciosidade, quatro de Amabilidade e dois de Neuroticismo. Observou-se uma quantidade equilibrada de DIF no BFI-2, ora favorecendo pessoas mais jovens, ora as mais velhas. Os itens funcionaram similarmente para pessoas com menos de 40 e com mais de 60 anos, sugerindo justiça na avaliação da personalidade de respondentes de diferentes estágios do ciclo vital. Apesar disso, alguns itens merecem cuidado na interpretação quando respondidos por pessoas idosas, e outros poderão ter sua redação revisada em pesquisas futuras.
Hydrothermal synthesis of MXenes in alkali environment and development of MXene/PEDOT:PSS composite electrodes for supercapacitor applications

Published: October 2024

MXenes are conventionally synthesized by a top-down selective etching process using toxic fluoride-based chemicals. Here, we report a unique one-pot method for fabricating multilayer structures of Ti3C2OH MXene by etching Ti3AlC2 with alkali. MXene is synthesized by hydrothermal etching of MAX phase (Ti3AlC2) using relatively non-toxic alkali (potassium hydroxide) solutions. The quality of synthesized MXenes was studied as a function of alkali concentration, precursor pre-treatment, and total reaction time. Increase in alkali concentration exhibits improved etching capability, yield, and stability of MXene, whereas pre-treatment of precursor at elevated temperature and longer reaction time shows detrimental effects on the quality of synthesized MXene with formation of titanate nanofibers. Moreover, we also fabricated MXene/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate composite aerogels and demonstrated its suitability as active electrode material for supercapacitor applications.

Minimum required information for Psychiatric History Taking: a scoping textbook review
Authors: Rocha Neto Helio G. , Boutros Eduarda Conte , Leal Fellipe Miranda , Correia Diogo Telles , Cavalcanti Maria Tavares
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT Objective In psychiatry, History Taking(HT) and Mental Status Examination are the only information source for diagnosis, resulting in reliability and validity issues. Standard Diagnostic Interviews(SDI) were prescribed as a solution for diagnostic unreliability but not used in clinical practice. Our objective is to describe and consolidate the “must be collected data” in psychiatric HT, and reasons why some information must be collected for an adequate diagnostic hypothesis generation. Methods Researchers and lecturers from different countries were consulted about Textbooks of Clinical Psychiatry, as a privileged source of consolidated HT information in psychiatric training, using a snowball methodology, complemented by references review and most sold textbooks. Data were systematically extracted by two authors, and then comprehensively synthesized. Results Twenty-five textbooks, from sixteen different countries, were accessed. We did not find a standard model, nor clear reasons for why HT components were chosen, but the manual’s information grossly overlaps, suggesting a “validated by tradition” model in psychiatry. Conclusion The “must be collected data” are both risk factors and prototype building blocks for mental disorders, with different anti-bias strategies. HT content suggested by textbooks is different from what is addressed by SDI, and a consensual “minimum information” for diagnostic reasoning was described.

ABSTRACT The Local Production Arrangement (LPA) of beekeeping in the Bois River Valley in Goiás is at an initial stage of development and requires initiatives that would contribute to its development. The Goiás state has favorable conditions for beekeeping, and, therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the quality of honey produced from different floral sources in the Bois River Valley Beekeeping LPA. Physicochemical analyses were, therefore, conducted to determine the moisture, water-insoluble solids, reducing sugars, apparent sucrose, total soluble solids, acidity, pH, diastatic activity, hydroxymethylfurfural, and color attributes of this honey. The determined values of these attributes were compared to the values recommended by the Technical Regulation of Identity and Quality of Honey (TRIQH). The results revealed significant correlations, especially between moisture and total soluble solids (r = -1.00), acidity and absorbance (r = 0.91), minerals and pH (r = 0.79), and reducing sugars and absorbance (r = -0.72). In general, the honey samples exhibited satisfactory quality, with the values of just a few samples being different from the limits established by the legislation. These results highlighted the importance of using Good Beekeeping Practices by those involved in the beekeeping production chain and honey commercialization. This initiative would contribute to strengthening the beekeeping LPA in the Bois River Valley by improving the quality of honey, ensuring higher income for beekeepers, and strengthening the regional economy.

Múltiplos sentidos da violência sexual contra meninas com deficiência intelectual
Authors: Simões Julian
Published: October 2024

Resumo: Neste artigo, examino as situações de violência sexual perpetradas contra Camila, 13 anos, e Bárbara, 15 anos, que foram atendidas num Centro de Saúde de uma cidade do Estado de São Paulo durante o ano de 2015. Para tal, ancoro-me em uma pesquisa etnográfica realizada por meio de uma escuta participante a partir da especialidade da psiquiatria do referido Centro. Com isso, objetivo explicitar como o atendimento da situação de violência sexual trouxe à tona uma série de outras violências experienciadas pelas duas garotas e, também, espraiada e experimentada por familiares e responsáveis. Dessa maneira, o artigo sustenta que, devido à fragilidade de garantias e proteção dispensadas às meninas com deficiência intelectual, um dispositivo complexo de violências emerge e se espraia para além dos corpos das garotas afetadas diretamente pelas situações. Este atravessa indiretamente os corpos e as vidas dos pais e/ou responsáveis por meio de violências físicas, violências psicológicas ou, ainda, pela necessidade de mudança de moradia por conta das ameaças.

Published: October 2024

Resumo Agaricus blazei Murill (ABM) é comercializado mundialmente como alimento medicinal com potencial anticancerígeno. O estudo investigou os efeitos de diferentes extratos de ABM em um modelo de camundongo com tumor de Ehrlich (TE). Diferentes extratos foram produzidos utilizando solução com pH 4 e 7, banho-maria ou banho ultrassônico, com solução de polissacarídeo ou sobrenadante. Camundongos Swiss (n=192) foram separados aleatoriamente em 4 grupos para avaliação dos 4 métodos de extração. Cada grupo de extração consistiu em 2 grupos com ou sem tumor, separados em 4 grupos de tratamento. As avaliações incluíram peso dos órgãos e histologia do baço, rim, gânglios linfáticos, fígado e tumor. Os animais com TE (sem tratamento) apresentaram aumento do peso relativo do baço, todavia, nos animais com TE e tratados com o sobrenadante de ABM a 60ºC em pH 7, houve diminuição do peso do baço. O peso do fígado também reduziu em animais com TE, mas tratados com extrato ABM a 60ºC em pH 4. Os achados histológicos do baço mostraram aumento no número de macrófagos e, em alguns casos, observou-se leve hipoplasia de polpa branca. Duas frações foram obtidas no extrato de ABM a 60ºC em banho ultrassônico, a sobrenadante e a polissacarídica, e os animais com TE tratados com a fração de sobrenadante mostraram uma menor celularidade tumoral e uma menor distância entre a epiderme e a musculatura. Na epiderme das patas desses animais foram vistas áreas livres de células tumorais, menores áreas de necrose e infiltração celular, demonstrando menor crescimento tumoral. Os resultados sinalizam que o extrato de ABM a 60ºC em pH 7 produzido através de banho ultrassônico tem o maior potencial terapêutico que deve ser mais explorado.

Resumo Este trabalho pretende refletir a transformação estética operada por Mário de Andrade, do conto Brasilia de Primeiro andar ao romance Amar, verbo intransitivo, por meio do processo dionisíaco, presente em ambos, conforme exposto na Origem da tragédia de Nietzsche. Pelo menos dois anos separam essas produções. O nosso reconhecimento, enquanto brasileiro, da nossa cultura era a grande preocupação do modernismo de Mário de Andrade e, quanto à estética, tal preocupação implicou a substituição da personagem Iolanda, uma francesa, de Brasilia, pela alemã Fräulein Elza, de Amar, verbo intransitivo. Outros condicionadores dessa substituição, bem como a aproximação de Mário de Andrade e Nietzsche, no que se refere à preocupação com a cultura, farão parte das nossas reflexões.

ABSTRACT Purpose to identify the questionnaires and scales used as subjective tools for the assessment process regarding the benefit and satisfaction of users of Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids to answer the following guiding question: Which questionnaires and scales are used in adults to evaluate the benefit and satisfaction of Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid users? Research strategy the search was carried out in the PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs and Embase databases and, in gray literature, Google Academic and Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations were used as information sources. The descriptors used were: bone-anchored prosthesis, hearing loss, mixed conductive-sensorineural, quality of life, patient satisfaction, surveys and questionnaires. Selection criteria studies that used questionnaires and scales to verify the benefit and satisfaction of users of Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid, published in Portuguese, English or Spanish, from 1999 to 2022, were included. Results 176 articles were identified. Of this total, 67 were included in the scoping review. The literature indicated that the most used tools in the process of assessing benefit and satisfaction in Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid users were the Glasgow Benefit Inventory questionnaires, the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit , and the Speech, Spatial, and Quality of Hearing Scale. Conclusion There are several instruments to be used, such as the Glasgow Benefit Inventory and the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit for benefits and the exclusive Audio Processor Satisfaction Questionnaire for the specific satisfaction of this population. As far as scales are concerned, The Speech, Spatial and Hearing Qualities Scale evaluates the benefit.
Deploying human and non-human ecosystem engineers to rebuild nature for people
Authors: Bowen-Jones E.
Published: October 2024

Protecting and rebuilding nature can deal with 30% of historic carbon dioxide emissions and prevent ecosystem collapse that will otherwise imperil human society. Our collective climate resilience can be increased by restoring bigger, more dynamic ecosystems. Traditional conservation approaches cannot do this. Human and non-human ‘ecosystem engineers’ need to work alongside one another to ensure that keystone species can range across our landscapes (‘re-animating’ them) to increase their long-term carbon dioxide lock-up value, maximise their ongoing biodiversity value and concurrently increase the other ecosystem services that they provide and on which people ultimately depend. However, ecosystem engineer species such as large herbivores cannot move across landscapes that have been severed by infrastructure many other species need to be enables to move as the climate warms. This implies the need for a strategic nature network, linking ecosystems under restoration by way of physical crossings that overcome barriers such as roads. Human engineers can play a leading role in enabling all these key elements of rebuilding nature – from working on individual structures and projects, to applying nature-positive systems-thinking in their day-to-day jobs and advocating for ambitious nature recovery. We can all help engineer a more nature-positive future. We need to all become ecosystem engineers.

Published: October 2024

The evaluation of design results plays a crucial role in the development of design. This study presents a design work evaluation system for design education that assists design instructors in conducting objective evaluations.
An automatic design evaluation model based on convolutional neural networks has been established, which enables intelligent evaluation of student design works. During the evaluation process, the CAM is obtained. Simultaneously, an eye-tracking experiment was designed to collect gaze data and generate eye-tracking heat maps. By comparing the heat maps with CAM, an attempt was made to explore the correlation between the focus of the evaluation’s attention on human design evaluation and the CNN intelligent evaluation. The experimental results indicate that there is some certain correlation between humans and CNN in terms of the key points they focus on when conducting an evaluation. However, there are significant differences in background observation.
The research results demonstrate that the intelligent evaluation model of CNN can automatically evaluate product design works and effectively classify and predict design product images. The comparison shows a correlation between artificial intelligence and the subjective evaluation of human eyes in evaluation strategy. Introducing artificial intelligence into the field of design evaluation for education has a strong potential to promote the development of design education.
The Algonquian person prefix is an agreement affix, not a pronominal clitic
Authors: Bruening Benjamin
Published: October 2024

Halle & Marantz (1993) propose that the person prefix that appears on Independent Order verbs in Potawatomi is a pronominal clitic and not an agreement affix, and this analysis has been followed for a variety of Algonquian languages by a large number of researchers. With data primarily from Passamaquoddy-Maliseet (Eastern Algonquian), I show that the prefix is not a pronominal clitic, it is an agreement affix, according to all diagnostics for distinguishing them. This conclusion is problematic because the prefix can be separated from the verb stem and the rest of the inflection, which is suffixal. I propose an analysis according to which all the inflectional suffixes are heads low in the clause, through which the main verb moves. The prefix, in contrast, is an Agr(eement) head adjoined to a head higher in the clause. This head attracts the highest verbal element, which will be the highest preverb if there is one, or the main verb if not. Preverbs are syntactic heads above the main verb which never form a complex head with it. This is amply justified by their separability, their prosody (they are often separate prosodic words), and coordination facts. Word order facts also indicate that the verb does not move very high in Algonquian languages, contrary to many analyses since Halle & Marantz (1993).

Objectives. The objective of the study was to determine the features of competitive activities among national football teams based on the integral assessment of playing tactics.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted during the 2024 European Football Championship. The competitive activities of national football teams from European countries (Germany, Spain, England, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Turkey) were analyzed, focusing on the playing tactics in 50 halves. In order to carry out the study, the following methods were used: theoretical analysis of literature sources; pedagogical observation of competitive activities; analysis of video materials of competitive activities; methods of mathematical statistics. The statistical analysis of the research results was conducted using descriptive mathematical statistics. The sample was characterized by determining the arithmetic mean, standard deviation (S), and coefficient of variation (V). The significance of observed differences in the indicators was assessed using the parametric Student’s t-test for independent samples. Prior to this, the data’s conformity to a normal distribution was verified using the Shapiro-Wilk W-test.
Results. A methodology for the integral assessment of the tactics undertaken by national football teams was developed. The integral assessment of team tactics consisted of 10 specific coefficients that reflect the main components of football players’ competitive activities in the phases of ball possession and recovery. The competitive activities in 50 halves of the 2024 European Football Championship were analyzed. The average value of the integral assessment of the tactics in national football teams was determined to be 5.62 ± 0.43 points. The findings revealed significant tactical variations between the teams, with Spain’s use of high pressing and creative play contributing to their championship victory. A ten-point scale for evaluating the tactics of national football teams was developed, on the basis of which the level of competitive activities is interpreted.
Conclusions. The developed methodology for monitoring and analyzing the tactics of football teams allows for targeted management influences on the competitive activities of football players at the operational, current, and stage levels.
Next-Gen Surgery: AI Robots Leading the Way in Healthcare
Authors: Saman Aisha
Published: October 2024

As human generations evolve, medical science and engineering have developed, and robotics have become an integral part of medicine from administrative duties to surgical procedures. In medical procedures, robotic systems support and enhance the accuracy and agility of human surgeons. This method is known as robotic surgery or robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). In the public health field, RAS plays an essential role due to its ability to improve surgical precision, lessen patient discomfort following surgery, and shorten hospital stays. In spite of the systems not being entirely self-contained, skilled surgeons use a console and specialized instruments to perform procedures that are more accurate and less invasive. Robots can help provide healthcare services such as monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and providing emotional support. The use of AI with robotics in healthcare has shown a remarkable rise in the past few years, particularly in rural India with limited access to healthcare providers and limited health resources.  Urban and rural hospitals across the country can use artificial intelligence to manage tasks like surgery assistance, streamlining hospital logistics, and organizing routine checkups. The following considerations are the main causes of a surge in robotic help in the healthcare sector: (a) robots are hardworking; (b) they can withstand stress; (c) their grasping abilities; (d) they can do precise surgeries; and (e) they are capable of performing repetitive jobs. The present discourse delves into a few medical robotics applications, discussing their advantages, disadvantages, and possible avenues for future research and development.
Mechanism Design of Seafloor Current Meter (SCM) with Broadband OBS and Data Analysis in the Northeastern offshore Taiwan
Authors: Ching-Ren Lin
Published: October 2024

To achieve precise measurements of near seabed water current velocities, this study designed a mechanical device for the Aquadopp-6000m Current meter that can be paired with the Yardbird-BB Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS). To ensure it does not affect the sinking rate during deployment or the buoyancy during recovery at sea, the overall ballasting of the OBS with the integrated water current meter needed to be recalibrated. The Aquadopp-6000m can record multiple physical data parameters simultaneously. During instrument deployment tests, we recorded the orientation of the entire OBS, time of seabed contact, time of seismic sensor detachment from the A-frame and falling onto the seabed, as well as profiles of sound speed, temperature, and pressure during the instrument sinking process. In deployment planning, it was determined that the original battery capacity inside the Aquadopp-6000m was insufficient to sustain the power consumption required for sampling rates of one sample per second for more than three months. This paper also provides detailed calculations for battery power and methods for modifying battery packs. Data from deployments in the Okinawa Trough in 2019 and 2020 indicated that seabed water current velocities and seismic activity share similar frequency characteristics over long periods. For seismic wave amplitudes greater than 0.006 m/s, there were intermittent decreases in water flow velocity following the arrival of radial S-waves, while the tangent component remained unaffected. Before the formation of typhoons thousands of kilometers away, atmospheric pressure variations were observed to influence minor changes in seabed temperature, seabed flow velocities, and seawater pressure, thereby affecting oceanic sound speed.
La pedagogía de Alfonso de Castro en sus homilías sobre el Salmo 50 / Alfonso de Castro’s pedagogy in his homilies on Psalm 50
Authors: Álvarez Alonso José Félix
Published: October 2024

El error protestante requería para contrarrestarlo de una predicación sólida que transmitiese fielmente la recta doctrina católica. Alfonso de Castro O. F. M se convirtió en un paladín de este cometido gracias a unas dotes oratorias que le llevaron a ser predicador real de la mano de Felipe II. Gran parte de ese éxito se debe a la utilización por parte del fraile franciscano de una pedagogía concreta heredada de su labor como docente en las aulas salmantinas del Convento de San Francisco. En el presente artículo repasamos los mecanismos pedagógicos que el autor utiliza en las cinco primeras homilías dedicadas al miserere para tratar de modelar discursivamente la doctrina y hacerla asequible para el auditorio.The protestant error in order to be counteracted required of a solid preaching whic  transmit exactly the severe Catholic doctrine. Alfonso de Castro M. F. O. became an expert in this task thanks to oratorical skills that led him to be the Royal Preacher under Felipe II’s leadership. The majority of his success is due to this Franciscan Friar’s use of a particular pedagogy inherited from his job as a teacher at San Francisco Monastery in Salamanca. In this article the pedagogical devices used by the author in the first five homilies are reviewed. They were devoted to Miserere to try to model the doctrine discursively and make it accessible to the audience.Palabras clave: Alfonso de Castro, Orden Franciscana, Pedagogía, Predicación, Penitencia, Misericordia.Keywords: Alfonso de Castro, Franciscan Order, Pedagogy, Preaching, Penance, Mercy.DOI: http://dx.medra.org/10.17398/1886-4945.10.31

Time-lapse killing assay (spheroid - IncuCyte) v2
Authors: R Kennedy Philippa , Hinderlie Peter
Published: October 2024

Many tumors exist in vivo as three-dimensional masses. In order to better model the dynamics of three-dimensional tumor growth and immune cell invasion, cancer cell lines are grown in low-adhesion plates that force them to interact with each other, forming a spheroid. After spheroids form in culture, immune effectors and drugs are added to the wells and their effect on the tumor mass is measured by transmitted light or fluorescence microscopy in a live-cell image system (IncuCyte, Sartorius Inc).

Published: October 2024

This protocol describes the standard LC-MS/MS ESI method developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) by JGI Metabolomics and EGSB's Northen Lab to analyze non-polar metabolites (e.g. secondary metabolites, etc) from sample extracts using reverse phase chromatography (C18) coupled to a Thermo Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer with ESI source. This robust method of detection is easily reproduced and adapted onto similar LC-MS/MS systems to achieve consistent outcomes across mass spectrometry datasets, foster inter-lab and inter-experiment comparability, and enable effective data integration and analysis. Since its inception in 2014, this method has been used to analyze tens of thousands of experimental samples, with many of these datasets publicly available in the MassIVE data repository1,2. This method has also been used to run thousands of compound standards to collect characteristic retention time, m/z and fragmentation spectra. This forms the basis of Berkeley Lab's Environmental Metabolite Atlas (EMA), a database used for confident annotation of metabolites and publicly available through GNPS/GNPS23.
