Higher education and graduates' success in the labor market
Authors: Polezhaeva Tatiana Yurievna
Published: June 2024

This study reflects one of the aspects of social stratification; the relationship between education and economic remuneration is traced. The purpose of the study is to reveal the correlation of skills and competencies acquired during education and the graduates' employment. Over time, universities have begun to pay more attention to social and cognitive skills that are considered important for the modern labor market: critical thinking, teamwork, communication, problem solving without micromanagement. The data show the current state of affairs in higher education and in the labor market, where universities, to a greater extent, focus on competencies related to research and scientific activities, without relying on the opinions of employers. On the other hand, employers want to see graduates with a set of professional competencies that will allow them to perform their job duties without a long period of internal training. The work uses general scientific approaches to the study of the transformation of higher education, in particular, the method of institutional analysis was applied. The analyzed data allow us to take a look at the tasks that higher education faces at this stage. It was found that the link between diplomas and real skills, as well as economic rewards, is optional. Over time, universities have begun to pay more attention to social and cognitive skills that are considered important for the modern labor market: critical thinking, teamwork, communication, problem solving without micromanagement. At the same time, the problem of the slow response of higher education to the changing reality remains, in this regard, recommendations are given on monitoring feedback from graduates and employers (using quantitative and qualitative methods), so that universities will be able to adapt the courses taught more effectively. Especially important is the interaction of universities with public and private organizations that will immerse students in real work processes corresponding to the specialty.
Multiple Diagnostics of Hybrid Rocket Ignition and Effect of Hypergolic Additive Granulometry
Authors: Dumas Benoît , Jobin Olivier , Robert Étienne
Published: June 2024

The ignition delay and surface-temperature evolution of ammonia-borane-doped paraffin wax exposed to white fuming nitric acid are measured in oxidizer-drop tests. The ammonia borane granulometry is varied to investigate the limits of hypergolic ignition and its underlying mechanisms. High-speed visible, Schlieren, and midinfrared optical systems are used simultaneously to observe the phenomena occurring between the first contact and the appearance of a flame. The experiments reveal the usefulness of both Schlieren and midinfrared high-speed imaging as diagnostic tools for hybrid hypergolic experiments, specifically for the detection of preignition events not observable through visible light emission. A strong relationship is found between the granulometry of the ammonia-borane additive and the ignition delay of the fuel pellets. At 25% ammonia borane by weight, pellets made with a granulometry of [Formula: see text] ignited in 15.4 ms, whereas those made with a granulometry of [Formula: see text] ignited in 60.1 ms on average. Granulometry also affects preignition phenomena such as gas-release velocity and surface-temperature evolution. These results reveal that the acid drop acts as a heat sink for the hypergolic ignition of the hybrid rocket fuel and that a minimum additive particle size is needed to avoid quenching.

Validation of a Rapid GC-MS Method for Forensic Seized Drug and Ignitable Liquid Screening Applications
Authors: Capistran Briana , Sisco Edward
Published: June 2024

With the lack of standardized validation protocols across the forensic chemistry community, validation of instrumentation can be a challenging and time-consuming task. However, this process is crucial to understand the associated capabilities and limitations, especially for nascent technologies. Rapid GC-MS is one such emerging analytical technique being increasingly implemented in forensic laboratories due to its fast and informative screening capabilities. However, a full validation for forensic samples has yet to be published since its debut. This work presents the results of a comprehensive validation of an in-house rapid GC-MS system for seized drug and ignitable liquid analyses through the assessment of nine components: selectivity, matrix effects, precision, accuracy, range, carryover/contamination, robustness, ruggedness, and stability. Single- and/or multi-compound test solutions of commonly encountered seized drug or ignitable liquid compounds were used for each study to assess method and system performance. Results met the designated acceptance criteria for a majority of components. For example, retention time and mass spectral search score % RSDs were ≤ 10 % for precision and robustness studies. Limitations were identified for components that did not meet the acceptance criteria (e.g., inability for isomer differentiation). The study designs are part of a larger validation package developed for rapid GC-MS that includes validation plans and automated workbooks for each forensic application. The template, available for adoption by laboratories as needed, ultimately aims to reduce the barrier of implementation for rapid GC-MS technology.
Dual Reactivity Mode of Vinyl Ethylene Carbonates with Anilines: A Catalyst-Controlled Chemodivergent Entry to N-Heterocycles and the Observation of Unusual Competing Pathways
Authors: Keshri Santosh Kumar , Kapur Manmohan
Published: June 2024

A unique catalyst-controlled chemodivergent strategy to access 2-vinyl indolines and indole-2-acetates by overcoming the usual allylic reactivity of vinyl ethylene carbonates (VECs) via a tandem C-H/C-O bond activation sequence is disclosed herein. This methodology provides useful molecular scaffolds by following two distinct pathways in a highly step- and atom-economical manner. The pathway features a challenging beta-hydroxide elimination and in the Rh-catalyzed transformation, we have observed unusual competing pathways such as an oxidative insertion of MeOH into Rh(III) to give a putative Rh(V)-H intermediate. Mechanistic insights unveil a new reactivity mode of vinyl ethylene carbonates and open a new avenue for divergent catalysis. Post synthetic modification of the annulated products add additional advantage to the methodology.
Encoding Circularity in Polydiketoenamine Thermoplastics via Oxy-Functionalization
Authors: Demarteau Jeremy , Epstein Alexander , Reed Laura , Ciccia Nicodemo , Hartwig John , Persson Kristin , Helms Brett
Published: June 2024

Here, we show that oxy-functionalization at specific sites along polydiketoenamine (PDK) backbones affects depolymerization rates by over three orders of magnitude, due to differences in distortion energies associated with reactive chain conformations in transition states for acidolysis. Site-specific oxy-functionalization, resulting in the fastest rates of acidolysis, opens the door to deconstructing linear PDK chain topologies for the first time, broadening the scope of applications for PDK plastics in a circular manufacturing economy, including chemically recyclable adhesives for a diverse range of surfaces.
Determination of Uranium Central-Field Covalency with 3d4f Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering

Published: June 2024

Understanding the nature of metal-ligand bonding is a major challenge in actinide chemistry. We present a new experimental strategy for addressing this challenge using actinide 3d4f resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). Through a systematic study of uranium(IV) halide complexes, [UX6]2−, where X = F, Cl, Br, we identify RIXS spectral satellites with relative energies and intensities that relate to the extent of uranium-ligand bond covalency. By analyzing the spectra in combination with ab initio ligand field calculations, we find that the sensitivity of the satellites to the nature of metal-ligand bonding is due to the reduction of 5f inter-electron repulsion and 4f-5f spin-exchange caused by metal-ligand orbital mixing and the degree of 5f radial expansion, known as central-field covalency. Thus, this study furthers electronic structure quantification that can be obtained from 3d4f RIXS, demonstrating it as a technique for estimating actinide-ligand covalency.
Assessing the accuracy and efficiency of free energy differences obtained from reweighted flow-based probabilistic generative models
Authors: Olehnovics Edgar , Liu Yifei Michelle , Mehio Nada , Sheikh Ahmad Y , Shirts Michael , Salvalaglio Matteo
Published: June 2024

Computing free energy differences between metastable states characterized by non-overlapping Boltzmann distributions is often a computationally intensive endeavour, usually requiring chains of intermediate states to connect them. Targeted free energy perturbation (TFEP) can significantly lower the computational cost of FEP calculations by choosing a set of invertible maps used to directly connect the distributions of interest, achieving the necessary statistically significant overlaps without sampling any intermediate states. Probabilistic generative models (PGMs) based on normalising- flow architectures can make it much easier via machine learning to train invertible maps needed for TFEP. However, the accuracy and applicability of approaches based on empirically learned maps depend crucially on the choice of reweighting method adopted to estimate the free energy differences. In this work, we assess the accuracy, rate of convergence, and data efficiency of different free energy estimators, including exponential averaging, BAR, and MBAR, in reweighting PGMs trained by maximum likelihood on limited amounts of molecular dynamics data sampled only from end-states of interest. We carry out the comparisons on a set of simple but representative case studies, including conformational ensembles of alanine dipeptide and ibuprofen. Our results indicate that BAR and MBAR are both data efficient and robust, even in the presence of significant model overfitting in the generation of invertible maps. This analysis can serve as a stepping stone for the deployment of efficient and quantitatively accurate ML-based free energy calculation methods in complex systems.
Topological Insulators for Thermoelectrics: A Perspective from Beneath the Surface
Authors: Toriyama Michael , Snyder G. Jeffrey
Published: June 2024

Thermoelectric properties of topological insulators have traditionally been examined in the context of their metallic surface states. However, recent studies have begun to unveil intriguing thermoelectric effects emerging from bulk electronic states, which have largely been overlooked in the past. Charge transport phenomena through the bulk are especially important under typical operating conditions of thermoelectric devices, necessitating a comprehensive review of both surface and bulk transport in topological insulators. Here, we review thermoelectric properties that are uniquely observed in topological insulators, placing special emphasis on unconventional phenomena emerging from bulk states. We demonstrate that unusual thermoelectric effects arising from bulk states, such as band inversion-driven warping, can be discerned in experiments using a rather simple analysis of the weighted mobility. We believe that there is still plenty to uncover within the bulk, yet our current understanding can already inspire new strategies for designing and discovering topological insulators for next-generation thermoelectrics.

Authors:   Oncology Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq, Ahmed AL Qadasi Shahbaa , Sabieh Al Zubaidi Azhar
Published: June 2024

Background: Squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung is a kind of non-small-cell lung carcinoma. Cytotoxic chemotherapy has been found to deliver benefits to patients in advanced disease settings. Objective: To compare response rate and side effects between first-line chemotherapies vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and taxanes in patients with metastatic SCC of the lung. Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective study including 45 patients with metastatic lung SCC. All patients had received platinum-based doublet chemotherapy for 4-6 cycles. Patients were allocated into three groups based on the additional treatment protocol, with fifteen patients per group. A reduction in tumor size was assessed from tumor measurements for patients who had at least two evaluable assessments with computed tomography. The side effects of each drug were evaluated. Results: The reduction in tumor size in the gemcitabine, taxan, and vinorelbine arms was -5.59±35.62 cm3, 1.3±39.98 cm3 and -10.55±14.62 cm3, respectively, with no significant differences. The response rates in the taxan, gemcitabine, and vinorelbine arms were 73.33%, 80%, and 86.67%, respectively, with no significant differences. The side effects, including nausea, alopecia, diarrhea, arthralgia, and peripheral neuropathy, were, in particular, more common in patients in the taxan arm than in other arms, with significant differences. Conclusion: The three therapeutic arms, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and taxanes, had similar efficiency based on response rate, with a mild preponderance of vinorelbine. Keywords: Squamous-cell carcinoma,vinorelbine, gemcitabine,taxanes

Authors:   Department of Medical Laboratory Techniques, AL-Suwaira Technical Institute, Middle Technical University, Waist, Iraq, Hanash Dhefer Iqbal
Published: June 2024

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AFi) is more common as people get older. Additionally, a further indicator of the occurrence of AFi is subclinical hyperthyroidism, which is linked to a 3-fold increased risk. Lack of vitamin D causes the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway to become active, which has an impact on the cardiovascular system. Objective: To examine the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 insufficiency and AFi and hyperthyroidism cases with valvular and nonvalvular AFi that required treatment at our medical center. Patients and Methods: Samples taken from 200 cases of AFi (50-65 years old) divided into: group A cases with nonvalvular AFi and group B cases with valve AFi, and 100 healthy individuals with sinus rhythm who were age-matched chosen as control groups. Standard biochemical measurements, including levels of 25-OHvit.D3,the hormone of the thyroid gland, and parathyroid hormone, were made. Results: Cases in group A had decreased 25-OHvit.D3 levels compare to those in the control and B groups (P ≤ 0.05 ).In comparison to the control group, the patients in groups A and B had larger left atriums and greater systolic pulmonary artery pressures. Conclusion: Thus, the study shows a connection between nonvalvular AFi cases with hyperthyroidism and 25-OHvit D3 deficiency. Keywords: 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, Atrial fibrillation, Valvular, Parathyroid hormone, Hyperthyroidism.

Published: June 2024

Background: Mask-induced acne, also known as maskne, is a skin condition that has become increasingly prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prolonged use of facial masks has been found to cause skin irritation, inflammation, and the development of acne. Healthcare workers are at an increased risk due to their prolonged and consistent use of facial masks during their work. Objective: To investigate the occurrence and identify risk factors of mask induced acne among health care workers. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 115 healthcare workers at Al_Imamain Al_Kadhumain Medical city who wore the mask daily. Collected data include demographic characteristics (age, sex, and occupation), mask-wearing data include the type of mask worn, the pattern of mask use (disposable or reusable mask), time spent wearing masks over the years, the daily duration of mask usage, and specifics regarding participants' acne, encompassing the type and facial location of the acne, as well as accompanying symptoms (itching, dryness, oiliness, moisture, warmth, and excessive facial sweating), and factors that exacerbate the condition, were all considered in the study. Results: Out of 115 included subjects 37 (32.17%) were suffering from new-onset mask induce acne. There were 10 men and 27 women. The mean age was 35.5±7.3 years (range: 24-47). The vast majority of the included participants (81.08%) were wearing surgical masks. The duration of mask use in about three-fourths of patients was ≥ one year. About three-fourth of patients were using reusable mask. Pustules were the most common lesion, accounting for two-thirds of the participants, followed by comedones (37.83%). The most common site was cheeks (75.67%), followed by the chin (48.65%).

Current collaborative design research does not attempt to address the power imbalance and ethical approach with different minority groups in New Zealand therefore the results of the process are often inconsistent. The existing system that is in place is only a set of guidelines that can be utilized when dealing with collaborative involvement however the open nature of the types of involvement and the use of token involvement is often applied as it is often easier to conceptualize the design and please the shareholders without constraints. This can often lead to the community feeling ignored and the iwi to feel underappreciated when the concept is not reminiscent of the final product leading to a loss in political influence and mana therefore, lowering the sense of community and place.

A focus on the place identity with respect to the influences within individuals will help give the designer an idea about the type of experience and connections that are important to the different cultures therefore the answers will be more holistic and can be interpreted without creating too many constraints within the design process. Since there are different cultural views and values present between the ethnic groups in New Zealand there needs to be a singular collaboration process to highlight the cultural differences. The goal of this thesis is to provide a framework that can be utilized when dealing with different ethnic groups within the development stage and how to combine these contradicting worldviews and values within the spatial arrangement of a community park that is recognizable to the existing community.

Objective: To determine the relationship between body image and self-esteem of women who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH-BSO). Method: The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 118 women who underwent TAH-BSO in the obstetrics and gynecology service of a university hospital in Mersin. Data was collected using a self-made questionnaire, the Body Perception Scale (BAS), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RBSS). Descriptive statistics included median, mean, standard deviation, number, and percentage values. Data evaluation methods included Mann-Whitney U Test and t-test to compare the means of two groups; Kruskal Wallis test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the means of more than two groups; and Spearman correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between two continuous variables. Results: The mean age of the women was 50.13 ± 9.57, and the mean duration of marriage was 26.53 ± 11.97 years. It was found that 86.4% of the women were married, 40.7% were primary school graduates, and 55.1% had at least three children. Besides, 47.5% of the women applied to the hospital with the complaint of bleeding and according to 39% of them, the uterus meant nothing to them. Furthermore, the mean score of the women in BAI was 151.05 ± 26.64, and the mean score from RBSS was 5.02 ± 1.08. In the study, it was found that there was no statistically significant relationship between BAI and RBRS (r = -0.113; P = 0.224). Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that TAH-BSO surgery did not have a negative effect on women’s body perceptions and self-esteem. This result shows that women’s perspectives on common gynecological surgeries such as TAH-BSO have changed.
Analysis of the Feasibility of Different Surgical Methods for Treating Uterine Fibroids and Their Impact on the Ovarian Function
Authors: Jiang Mei
Published: June 2024

Objective: To analyze the feasibility of different surgical methods for treating uterine fibroids and their impact on ovarian function. Methods: 90 patients with uterine fibroids admitted to our hospital from December 2018 to April 2023 were divided into Group A and Group B, with 45 patients in each group. Group A underwent laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) and Group B underwent transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM). The patients were followed up 3 months after surgery and their clinical indexes were compared. Results: The duration of hospitalization, surgery, anal ventilation, and getting out of bed were shorter in Group B. Besides, Group B also experience less intraoperative bleeding (P < 0.05). There was no difference in the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone LH, estradiol (E2), and anta follicle count (AFC) levels between the two groups after surgery (P > 0.05). The Female Sexual Function Index scores of two groups increased significantly after surgery, with Group B showing a more drastic increase (P < 0.05); The VAS ratings of the two groups showed a decreasing trend 1–5 days after surgery, with Group B showing a larger decrease (P < 0.05). There was no difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups within 3 months after surgery (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Both LM and TCRM are effective in treating uterine fibroids with little impact on ovarian function and complications. However, TCRM is associated with reduced bleeding, quicker postoperative recovery, decreased pain, and an enhanced quality of sexual life. Therefore, this surgical approach appears more beneficial for improving prognosis.
