The aims of this work are to investigate and compare two different flow dynamics techniques (steady state - pulsatile flow) for endothelial shear stress calculation, compare lesion specific smartFFR and ESS values, as well as total vessel smartFFR and ESS values, and investigate the relationship between smartFFR and ESS to stress MBF (myocardial blood flow) and MFR (myocardial flow reserve). A total of 10 coronary vessels of 6 patients with intermediate pre-test likelihood for coronary artery disease, who have undergone both CTCA and PET-MPI with 15O-water or 13N-ammonia, were included in the study. Seven (7) cases had normal stress MBF and MFR values and three (3) had abnormal ones. PET was considered abnormal when > 1 contiguous segments showed both stress MBF ≤2.3mL/g/min and MFR ≤2.5 for 15O-water or 1.79 mL/g/min and ≤2.0 for 13N-ammonia, respectively. The ESS at the luminal surface of the artery was calculated as the product of viscosity and the gradient of blood velocity near the vessel wall. To calculate the smartFFR, we performed a transient simulation for each case. We used a pressure of 100 mmHg as a boundary condition at the inlet (i.e. mean human aortic pressure). At the outlet, a flow profile of 4 timesteps with a timestep duration of 0.25 sec was used. In each timestep, a volumetric flow rate of 1, 2, 3 and 4 ml/s are applied as outlet boundary conditions. The cut-off value for a pathological smartFFR is 0.83. There is a difference in total vessel calculated smartFFR results compared to the corresponding values of lesion specific smartFFR (0.88 vs 0.97, p=0.01). For ESS there is a negligible difference between lesion specific and total vessel values (2.22 vs 2.74, p = 0.9). There is a moderate negative correlation between both lesions specific (r = -0.543) and total vessel smartFFR and ESS (r = -0.915). ESS values were higher in vessels where vessel smartFFR was considered abnormal (1.97 vs 5.52, p = 0.01). Total vessel length smartFFR was lower in vessels with abnormal PET-MPI compared to the normal vessels (0.75 vs 0.93, p = 0.01). ESS is higher in vessels with pathological stress MBF and CFR (5.5 vs 2.0, p = 0.02). The total vessel length smartFFR and lesion ESS appear to assess the functional significance of the vessel well, when compared to the PET-MPI measurements.
PHYSICS-INFORMED NEURAL NETWORKS FOR ELASTIC PLATE PROBLEMS WITH BENDING AND WINKLER-TYPE CONTACT EFFECTS
Authors: Muradova Aliki D. , Stavroulakis Georgios E.
Published: April 2022

Kirchhoff plate bending and Winkler-type contact problems with different boundary conditions are solved with the use of physics-informed neural networks (PINN). The PINN is built on the base of mechanics laws and deep learning. The idea of the technique includes fitting the governing partial differential equations at collocation points and then training the neural network with the use of optimization techniques. Training of the neural network is performed by numerical optimization using Adam’s method and the L-BFGS (Limited- Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno) algorithm. The error loss function and the computational error of the approximate solution (output of the neural network) of the bending problem and contact problem with Winkler type elastic foundation are shown on examples. The predictions of the NN are investigated for different values of the foundation’s constants. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is demonstrated through numerical experiments with different numbers of epochs, hidden layers, neurons and numbers of collocation points. The Tensorflow deep learning and scientific computing package of Python is used through a Jupyter Notebook.

Objetivo: Compreender a importância da prevenção quaternária na promoção da saúde de idosos no Brasil. Revisão bibliográfica: As pessoas acima dos 60 anos de idade são as que mais procuram os serviços de saúde. Por isso, é muito comum a associação medicamentosa e testes de rastreio de diversas doenças no intuito de proporcionar uma melhora na saúde e, portanto, garantir a longevidade dos pacientes dessa faixa etária. Para que os cuidados à saúde dos idosos sejam efetivos e não danosos é importante a construção de uma relação médico-paciente de sucesso, garantida através de uma comunicação efetiva que, se define a partir do transmitir e receber informações, tornando possível a compreensão do paciente de maneira integral. Considerações finais: A prevenção quaternária é imprescindível nos cuidados em saúde da população brasileira, principalmente no que concerne aos idosos que, por se encontrarem em vulnerabilidade nos diversos aspectos biopsicossociais, sofrem em demasia com os efeitos colaterais dos excessos diagnósticos de terapêuticos que influem negativamente na funcionalidade orgânica destes.

Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão narrativa sobre a influência do uso de bifosfonatos na movimentação ortodôntica. Revisão bibliográfica: Os bifosfonatos são fármacos sintéticos similares ao pirofosfato. São recomendados para o controle de patologias que apresentam uma alta reabsorção óssea. Estes medicamentos, se acumulam na camada superficial do tecido ósseo devido a sua ligação pela hidroxiapatita, principalmente nas zonas de grande reabsorção/remodelação óssea. Durante o momento de remodelação óssea, o medicamento é liberado no local, começando sua atividade sobre os osteoclastos, o que gera redução de sua ação e de formação celular, bem como induz o processo de morte celular. Quando ocorre a chegada dos osteoclastos, sabe-se que é o passo inicial necessário para a movimentação proporcionada pela ortodontia, e que qualquer complicação na função dessas células causará a redução da eficiência e do resultado no tratamento ortodôntico.  Considerações finais: A utilização dos bifosfonatos não é considerada uma contraindicação completa para o tratamento ortodôntico, especialmente para pacientes considerados de baixo risco em relação a osteoporose e de neoplasias com metástases ósseas, todavia, o desfecho do tratamento ainda não é previsível em pacientes com a osteoporose e de neoplasias com metástases ósseas de alto risco.

Authors: Gurung Prem Bahadur , Thapa Prakash , Hettiarachchi Ishani Lakshika , Zhu Jianglong
Published: April 2022

A mild and efficient cationic gold(I)-catalyzed O-glycosylation methodology involving the use of bench stable glycosyl N-1,1-dimethylpropargyl carbamate donors has been developed. In the presence of 1-2 mol% [tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite]gold(I) chloride and 5 mol% silver triflate, both “armed” and “disarmed” glycosyl N-1,1-dimethylpropargyl carbamate donors react with various sugar acceptors at room temperature to afford corresponding gly-cosides in good to excellent yields. This glycosyl N-1,1-dimethylpropargyl carbamate donors are found to be orthogonal to regular phenyl thioglycoside donors. The utilization of this method has demonstrated in the synthesis of a trisaccharide.
Main-group catalysis for H2 purification based on liquid organic hydrogen carriers
Authors: Hashimoto Taiki , Asada Takahiro , Ogoshi Sensuke , Hoshimoto Yoichi
Published: April 2022

Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been hailed as one of the most important energy carriers of the future, based on its high gravimetric energy density and the low environmental impact of its combustion product. In the mid-term future, a huge amount of H2 will be produced from a variety of hydrocarbon sources including biomass through the in-depth purification of crude H2, which is a gaseous mixture of H2, CO, CO2, and other components. Processes for the removal of such contaminants prior to H2 storage are of particular importance to prevent the deactivation of metal-based catalysts used in fuel cells and the chemical industry; however, bypassing these purification processes is desirable, given their energy consumption and environmental impact, which ultimately increases the cost of the produced H2. Here, we demonstrate a molecular-based strategy to separate H2 from a gaseous mixture of H2/CO/CO2/CH4 and simultaneously store it in N-heterocyclic compounds that act as liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), which can be applied for the production of H2 by subsequent dehydrogenation. A shelf-stable triaryl borane successfully catalyzes the hydrogenation of these N-heteroaromatic compounds in the co-presence of substantial amounts of CO, CO2, CH4, and H2O, which is commensurate to a simultaneous separation and storage of H2 (catalyst turnover number of up to 1480), and the subsequent dehydrogenation (H2 recovery), both of which proceed without solvents. Our results demonstrate that LOHCs can potentially be used for H2 purification in addition to their well-established use in H2 storage.
A REVIEW ON HOST PREFERENCE, DAMAGE SEVERITY AND INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT OF RED PUMPKIN BEETLE
Authors: Regmi Sudip , Paudel Manoj
Published: April 2022

Cucurbitaceous vegetables are the major source of income for small holding farmers in Nepal. However, production potential of this vegetable is hindered by many pests like red pumpkin beetle, fruit fly, cucurbit stink bug, cucumber thrips, cutworms etc. Red pumpkin beetle (RPB) has been a significant concern in cucurbit production, damaging from germination up to harvesting. This paper analyses host preference shown by RPB among different cucurbits along with severity of damage. Moreover, this paper shows heavier application of insecticides to control RPB which has adverse effect on human health and agro-ecosystem. In order to reduce such haphazard application of insecticides, other control techniques need to be formulated and familiarize with farmers. Integrated pest management (IPM) is the best option that provides several measures, alternative to insecticide and facilitates sustainable environment management. Result shows different eco-friendly techniques practiced by farmers. In addition, it elicits appropriate integration of such techniques in a research station that are applicable to farmer’s field.

Published: April 2022

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a floating aquatic weed and native of Amazon River. Water hyacinth is one of the fastest growing plants they primarily reproduce from runners or stolons. Each plant of E. crassipes can produce thousands of seeds each year and these seeds can remain viable for more than 28 years. Water hyacinth caused water loss through evapotranspiration which is more significant than indigenous weeds. Water hyacinth caused many problems in canals, ponds, lakes, rivers likes they are blocking of canals and causing floods, reduction of water quality, oxygen depletion, increased evapotranspiration rate, fish production problems, the beauty of ponds and effects on human health. Controlling methods of water hyacinth includes physical, chemical and biological but the biological method is effective and environment friendly. Neochetina bruchi, N. eichhorniae, and water hyacinth borer (Sameodes albiguttalis) are found effective biological control on water hyacinth. These weevils are feed on water hyacinth and reducing the size of water hyacinth, its vegetative propagation, and seed production. Semi-aquatic grasshopper Cornops aquaticum is also found effective control on water hyacinth.

Information on the major exposure biomarkers of people living around industrial areas in Africa are very limited. This study aims to analyse the level of hazardous metal (cadmium, lead, copper, and zinc) in two seasons’ soil samples of four industrial and one (1) control areas of Ogun State, Nigeria. Similarly, blood samples of the volunteers (n = 200) were analysed for the impacts of the metals on serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea (BUN). The mean metal concentrations for soils samples exhibited significant differences with strong positive correlations (r = 0.995 and 1). Compared with regulatory limits for normal individual concerning BUN and SCr, the results of volunteers were all higher, with BUN at ~200% and SCr at ~82% more. The results presented in this study revealed that both the soil environment and the body health system of the residents are being affected by the rapid industrialization, hence heavily burdened.
THE DISTINCTION “UNCREATED-CREATED” OF SAINT ATHANASIUS THE GREAT AND ITS ROLE IN THE REJECTION OF THE ARIAN HERESY
Authors: ANGHELESCU Gheorghe F.
Published: April 2022

In the philosophical-theological context, at the crossroads between the 3rd and the 4th centuries, there were at least two opposite cosmological options that were able to preserve, each in its own way, the simplicity of the Divine Principle: rejecting the concept of the world’s eternity or accepting a second grade/inferior principle as its Creator. The first option was taken over by the Church in general, following the path defined by the Apologists. The second one was the traditional view of Hellenistic philosophy. Beside these, a preacher-priest from the Church of Alexandria, Arius – and the people who were on his side for different reasons (most of them on the line of Gnosticism) – separated themselves from the teachings of the Church and started to deny, beginning in 318 A.D., the eternity of the Logos. The cosmological issue raised by Arius was a crucial one in this theological dispute due to the soteriological consequences that flowed from it, alien to the Revelation and the (Baptismal) Creeds of the Church. Yet, faith and piety were only defendable in this historical context with lexical weapons and philosophical arguments. This situation was well understood by Saint Athanasius of Alexandria. He made the first attempt to extract the doctrine about God from its limited, non-Christian philosophical understanding and started to defend both the temporality of the world and the co-eternity of the Logos (as the Second Person of the Holy Trinity) with the Father.

Published: April 2022

Writing is regarded one of the most pivotal English language abilities. Different researchers agree that writing in English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) environment is a challenging process involving social, environmental, motivational, and perceptive concerns. This is really appropriate for the teachers to give some feedbacks to the learners who learn writing using online as the teachers can control and treat the learners based on the ability they have. teacher feedback is an essential part of the process method since it helps students discover their strengths and weaknesses while also motivating them during the writing process. The focus of this research is on the teacher’s feedback during the writing evaluation, as demonstrated by the form, types, platform, and reactions of the students and the reason for the feedback provided. A survey with a quantitative methodology was used in this study. This survey included English teachers from Blitar's vocational high schools. In this study, the purposive sampling approach is applied. Because of their diverse goals and techniques, the researchers chose eight vocational high schools to study. As a result, such schools’ student demographics were diversified. They also required the services of more than one English teacher. Twenty English teachers participated in the poll. Teachers were asked to fill out a questionnaire in order to submit the data. The researchers created closed-ended and open-ended surveys with Google Forms.
URGENSI ASBABUL WURUD DALAM HADITS (Upaya Reinterpretasi Hadits Misoginis Berdasarkan Pendekatan Historis, Sosiologis dan Antropologis)
Authors: Laisa Emna , Qibtiyah Luthfatul
Published: April 2022

Hadits merupakan salah satu sumber ajaran Islam. Secara struktural ia menduduki posisi kedua setelah al-Qur’an, sedangkan secara fungsional ia merupakan bayan (penjelas) terhadap al-Qur’an. Tak dapat dipungkiri bahwa ketepatan pemaknaan dan pemahaman hadits adalah sesuatu yang vital. Namun demikian, untuk menggali kandungan makna dari suatu hadits tidak semudah membalikkan telapak tangan. Adakalanya hadits hanya dimaknai secara tekstual tanpa memperhatikan aspek historisitas dan keadaan sosio-kultural masyarakat kala hadits diturunkan. Akibatnya terjadi konflik dalam masyarakat semisal ketimpangan dalam tataran relasi laki-laki dan perempuan akibat pemahaman hadits yang parsial hingga dinilai misoginis dan mendiskriminasikan posisi perempuan. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan pemahaman terhadap  asbabul wurud dan melakukan reinterpretasi hadits berdasarkan pendekatan historis, sosiologis dan antropologis.

One of the most crucial language skills for students to achieve is reading. Through their participation in this activity, students can improve their language skills and get experience. Using Google Classroom, this study attempted to examine EFL students' perceptions of reading comprehension. Because TBI (English Teaching Department) IAIN Madura is one of the universities that conducts online learning, it was chosen as the study's subject. This study used a sample of 26 students. Purposive sampling was used as a sample technique in this study. The results indicate that the students submitted useful and good responses. The results show that no student answered strongly disagree (SD), 3 students chose to disagree (11,5%), 16 students chose to agree (75%), and 6 students chose to strongly agree (23%). Google Classroom, it can be concluded, is a solution for online learning classes. As a result, Google Classroom can be used to collect student assignments and, more importantly, to help students improve their reading comprehension. Furthermore, if this application is effective, successful, and also assists students in assisting in e-learning, particularly in receiving feedback after completing the work assigned by the lecturer, it can be used in conjunction with Google Classroom as an e-learning solution for COVID-19.
Elecciones en la Gran Colombia, 1818-1830
Authors: Palacios Trujillo Nohra
Published: April 2022

El artículo estudia las elecciones en los territorios de la llamada Gran Colombia entre 1818 y 1828.  ¿Por qué  las elecciones no lograron imponerse como medio pacificador o mediador de los conflictos sociales y políticos de la república en 1827? Se plantea que, durante el proceso electoral de 1827, la elección de diputados a la convención constituyente fue concebida como designación de hombres virtuosos ubicados en dos facciones pol ticas opuestas, y no como elección de proyectos políticos que lograran resolver el problema de la configuración de un Estado-nación.

Introduction

Medical education is well known for its difficulty. However, one of the ultimate aims of medical education is academic success. Therefore, undergraduate medical students are facing multiple factors during academic courses that correlate with their academic performance.

Aim

We aimed to study factors associated with academic performance among clinical year medical students in a Southern Thailand medical school.

Material and methods

168 medical students in the fourth and fifth year of a southern Thailand tertiary teaching hospital participated in this cross-sectional questionnaire-based study; over March 2021. We developed the questionnaire to cover all factors affecting academic performance, indicated by accumulated grade point average (GPAX). The data were analyzed using the R Program (v. 4.0.4).

Results and discussion

Of 168 medical students, 55.5% were women. Median GPAX was 3.22. The multivariate analysis showed that a higher GPAX was associated with time spent on study more than 4 h per day (P = 0.013), time spent on social networks more than 4 h per day (P = 0.004), strong motivation to become specialists (P = 0.007) and having a good relationship with family (P = 0.034).

Conclusions

Medical students' academic achievement was associated with increased study hours, time spent on social networks, motivation to become specialists, and having a good relationship with the family. However, we recommend further longitudinal studies to evaluate and confirm factors that affect academic performance.

Published: April 2022

Introduction

Unilateral tonsillar hypertrophy with accompanying cervical lymphadenopathy gives immediate suspicion of lymphoma or squamous cell carcinoma as the most probable diagnosis.

Aim

We aim to highlight the role of diagnostic tonsillectomy for intact looking tonsil as opposed to incisional biopsy for obvious fungating mass or ulcerative lesion. We also emphasise not to overlook abnormal preliminary blood work up. If leukocytosis is present, a peripheral blood film must be done to rule out ongoing infection or a more cynical haematological disease.

Case study

We report a case of a young female presenting with progressive dysphagia as well as bilateral neck swelling. Examination showed a unilateral tonsillar hypertrophy with bilateral cervical lymph nodes highly suggestive of tonsil lymphoma.

Results and discussion

She was opted for tonsillectomy for both diagnostic as well as therapeutic purposes. Histopathological examination (HPE) of the left tonsil removed paired with an elaborated blood workup finally diagnosed her with a rare case of mixed phenotype acute leukemia.

Conclusions

A multidisciplinary team approach and early intervention are crucial to arrive at the correct diagnosis allowing prompt treatment and better prognosis and symptomatic relief.

El presente artículo analiza el papel del sonido dentro del libro Las voladoras de Mónica Ojeda. El punto de partida, y eje principal, es el cuento “Slasher”, a partir del cual se estudia el lugar que ocupan el sonido y el grito. Proponemos que es posible observar el vínculo de estos elementos con una serie de referencias intertextuales e intermediales ordenadas alrededor de un dispositivo literario diseñado para generar horror.
La narrativa contemporánea mexicana frente a la territorialización del cuerpo: mujeres narradoras de un cuerpo-territorio
Authors: Tijerina Martínez Francisco Gerardo
Published: April 2022

Este artículo presenta un planteamiento que reenfoca el concepto del cuerpo-territorio para hacer lectura de la narrativa contemporánea producida por mujeres en México en respuesta a la visión de los cuerpos de mujeres y otrxs sujetxs feminizadxs como territorios, abusadxs bajo los preceptos del sistema patriarcal-capitalista-colonial. El análisis se enfoca en Temporada de huracanes de Fernanda Melchor, La compañía de Verónica Gerber Bicecci y Ya no somos las mismas y aquí sigue la guerra editado por Daniela Rea Gómez, pero también da cuenta de elementos faltantes de la cartografía viva que producen estas autoras hoy en día.
A Multi-Stage TIA based on Cascoded-Inverter Structures for Low-power Applications

Published: April 2022

This article discusses a multi-stage transimpedance amplifier (TIA), which is based on three stages of a modified inverter structure. The traditional inverter structures’ performances are improved adding two cascoded transistors. This new structure benefits from elimination of the Miller-capacitances in comparison with the traditional inverters, which can provide higher speed and wider frequency bandwidth. Manipulating the trade-offs among bandwidth, gain and power consumption beside using Gm/ID technique, this paper introduces a low-power transimpedance amplifier for high-bit rates in optical communication receiver systems. Moreover, active types of inductors are also used to lesson the occupied area and increase the frequency bandwidth. Transferring poles of the improved circuit to higher frequencies means less required DC current for a fixed bandwidth range, which results in low-power characteristic.

This work presents results of three distinct radiation tests performed upon a fault-tolerant data acquisition system comprising a design diversity redundancy technique. The first and second experiments are Total Ionizing Dose (TID) essays, comprising gamma and X-ray irradiations. The last experiment considers single event effects, in which two heavy ion irradiation campaigns are carried out. The case study system comprises three analog-to-digital converters and two software-based voters, besides additional software and hardware resources used for controlling, monitoring and memory management. The applied Diversity Triple Modular Redundancy (DTMR) technique, comprises different levels of diversity (temporal and architectural). The circuit was designed in a programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC), fabricated in a 130nm CMOS technology process. Results show that the technique may increase the lifetime of the system under TID if comparing with a non-redundant implementation. Considering the heavy ions experiments the system was proved effective to tolerate 100% of the observed errors originated in the converters, while errors in the processing unit present a higher criticality. Critical errors occurring in one of the voters were also observed. A second heavy-ion campaign was then carried out to investigate the voters reliability, comparing the dynamic cross-section of three different software-based voter schemes implemented in the considered PSoC.

The aggressive technology scaling has significantly affected the circuit reliability. The interaction of environmental radiation with the devices in the integrated circuits (ICs) may be the dominant reliability aspect of advanced ICs. Several techniques have been explored to mitigate the radiation effects and guarantee a satisfactory reliability levels. In this context, estimating circuit radiation reliability is crucial and a challenge that has not yet been overcome. For decades, several different methods have been proposed to provide circuit reliability. Recently, the radiation effects have been more faithfully incorporated in these strategies to provide the circuit susceptibility more accurately. This paper overviews the current trend for estimating the radiation reliability of digital circuits. The survey divides the approaches into two abstraction levels: (i) gate-level that incorporate the layout information and (ii) circuit-level that traditionally explore the logic circuit characteristic to provide the radiation susceptibility of combinational circuits. We also present an open-source tool that incorporates several previously explored methods. Finally, the actual research aspects are discussed, providing the newly emerging topic, such as selective hardening and critical vector identification.

This Special Issues brings four invited papers that describe the state of the art techniques to improve fault tolerance on complex designs. Integrated circuits operating under radiation can experience undesirable faults that must be evaluated and mitigated. Mitigation can be implemented by redundancy in hardware or in software, and by selecting and protecting the most critical parts of the system.  Radiation effects test and analysis also play an important step in identifying the criticality of the system and helping designers to better apply fault mitigation techniques.
