ADDITIONAL CRITERIA FOR THE MECHANISM OF HYDROGEN EVOLUTION REACTION IN THE IMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY METHOD
Authors:   Perm State University, Kichigin V.I. , Shein A.B. ,   Perm State University
Published: December 2023

The time constant  = R2C2 and the products of resistances R1 and R2 by current density i (R1, R2, C2 are the Faradaic impedance parameters) are discussed as criteria for the hydrogen evolution mecha- nisms. The values of dlog/d ( is the overvoltage) do not depend on the nature of rate-limiting step in discharge – electrochemical desorption route, but essentially depend on the nature of slow step in discharge – chemical combination route. Possibilities to distinguish between hydrogen evolution mechanisms within the limits of the discharge – electrochemical desorption route are more considera- ble when using iR1 and iR2 than analyzing . The influence of the hydrogen absorption reaction on the dependences of , iR1 and iR2 on  is briefly discussed. Experimental iR1 and iR2 data for Co2Si and CoSi2 electrodes in 1 M KOH are considered.

Dynamic light scattering, capillary viscometry, and IR-Fourier spectroscopy have been used to study the effect of temperature and duration of hydrothermal exposure on the chemical composition and structure of acrylate ionic terpolymers of acrylamide (AA), acrylonitrile (AN), and sodium salt 2- acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPSNa) AA-AN- AMPSNa. It has been established that an increase in the duration and temperature of exposure increases the effect of thermo- hydrolysis on the colloidal characteristics of the terpolymer, namely, the average hydrodynamic size of the solvated macromo- lecular polymer coils decreases. A relationship has been established between the chemical composition and structure of the initial terpolymer and the chemical composition and structure of polymer fragments formed after hydrothermal exposure. It has been determined that the increase in stability during thermohydrolysis is associated with the presence of nitrile and sulfo- nate substituents in the side groups of the polymer chain. It has been shown that the AA and AN units of the acrylate terpoly- mer are primarily subjected to thermal treatment. A noticeable change in the composition of the terpolymer after thermohy- drolysis is observed for 5 hours at an exposure temperature of 180 °C, and for 3 hours at 200 °C.
The charge transfer resistance in the hydrogen evolution reaction with the Temkin adsorption isotherm
Authors:   Perm State University, Kichigin Vladimir I. , Shein Anatoliy B. ,   Perm State University
Published: December 2023

The charge transfer resistance R1 versus overpotential  relations were studied for the hydrogen evolution reaction that proceeds through the Volmer–Heyrovsky mechanism with adsorbed hydrogen atoms obeying the Temkin isotherm. In the case k10, k-10>>k20, k-20 (where ki0 are the rate constants of the steps at  = 0), logR1- curve has a mini- mum and a maximum. As the surface heterogeneity factor f increases the minimum shifts to lower electrode potentials and the region of minimum becomes wider. The f value can be estimated from the full width at half minimum. At very low and very high coverage, logR1- curves show the same behavior as that for the Langmuir isotherm

Les infections sexuellement transmissibles sont fréquentes dans l'Armée. L'objectif de notre étude est d'évaluer leur prise en charge par un échantillon de médecins militaires et d'établir un chemin clinique en accord avec les recommandations officielles.

Une étude descriptive multicentrique rétrospective a été réalisée, basée sur l'analyse de dossiers médicaux. Étaient inclus les militaires ayant eu une infection sexuellement transmissible entre 2016 et 2018 au sein des unités de l'aire toulonnaise. Les données ont été comparées aux recommandations officielles, puis un chemin clinique a été établi.

La population analysée comprenait 1 femme et 95 hommes. Le dépistage des infections associées était effectué correctement dans 83,3 % des cas. Le traitement était conforme aux recommandations dans plus de 75 % des cas. Parmi les patients nécessitant un suivi clinique, 47,4 % ne revoyaient pas leur médecin. Les partenaires n'étaient pas dépistés dans 55,2 % des cas. La déclaration épidémiologique n'était pas effectuée dans plus de 80 % des cas.

Une amélioration de la prise en charge est souhaitable concernant le prélèvement initial, les posologies du traitement, le dépistage des partenaires, le suivi des patients et la déclaration épidémiologique. Un chemin clinique a été élaboré dans ce sens.

Nacija, ideologija, modernizacija: Mirjana Gross i istraživanja nacije i nacionalizma
Authors: Tomašegović Nikola
Published: December 2023

This article analyses Mirjana Gross’ approach to the study of nations and nationalism. She was the first Croatian historian to systematically address nation, nationalism and national identities as sui generis subjects of historical research. The emphasis in this article is put on two key concepts – the process of national integration and the national integrational ideologies – as well as their interdependency with the concept of modernization as part of Gross’ conception of social history. The efforts centred on the theoretical and methodological transformations of Croatian historiography, coupled with critical appropriations of contemporary historiographical trends, also played an important role in shaping her approach. The broadening of historiographical research subjects, especially to include social and economic history, interdisciplinary efforts, most importantly concerning sociology, and dialogue with intellectual currents stemming from the Annales school and ‘western Marxism’ thus heavily shaped Gross’ understanding of the concepts of nation, national identity and ideology. However, all of this needs to be evaluated by considering the context of the post-war Yugoslav historiography, its specificities and similarities with other Eastern and East Central European historiographies. It is especially fruitful to compare Mirjana Gross’ approach with that of Miroslav Hroch, who was a major source for the conceptualization of her own research. Finally, the article valorises Mirjana Gross’ contribution to nation and nationalism studies, briefly presents some newer trends in that area and considers incentives and limitations for further research.

Authors: Oyetayo Victor Olusegun , Adebisi Olabisi Omowunmi
Published: December 2023

Probiotic drinks have become more popular and the desire for new flavours among consumers necessitates the development and production of improved probiotic drinks. In the present study, the reducing sugar, mineral content, antinutritional and antioxidant properties of non-dairy probiotic drinks produced from tigernut milk and soy milk were investigated. Probitication of the non-dairy milk results in the reduction of reducing sugars and antinutrient contents of the drinks. Probioticated tigernut milk sample (T2) has the least reducing sugar content (4.63%), while the highest was found in soy milk sample S2 (4.81%). However, there were significant increases in the mineral content and antioxidant properties of the probioticated non-dairy drinks compared to the non probioticated nondairydrinks. The ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), DPPH, and Fe2+ chelation activities of probioticated tigernut milk increased from 0.5% extract to 0.84% extract, 73.18% to 91.70% and 36.30% to 39.02% in samples T12, T2 and T1, respectively. The same increase was also observed in the probioticated soy milk compared with the unprobioticated. Results from this study revealed that probiotication enhances the mineral content and antioxidative capacity of milk from soybean and tigernut.

Published: December 2023

This research determined the effect of red palm oil emulsification with malts of Brachystegia eurycoma, bambara groundnut and cowpea on the pro-vitamin A content of the emulsions. Bambara groundnut, B. eurycoma (“achi”) and cowpea seeds were processed by malting for 96 hours and oven dried at 50 oC before milling into flour. The malted flours were used to form emulsions with red palm oil. Pro-vitamin A contents of the emulsions were determined using standard methods and the results were as follows: B. eurycoma was in the range of 33.30 – 400.00 IU; bambara groundnut (66.67 – 333.33 IU) and cowpea (66.70 – 233.33). Emulsion stability tests indicated that the 72 and 96 hour malts gave stable emulsions after 3 hours. The emulsions obtained with the control, 72 and 96 hour malt were analyzed for anti-nutrient contents. Tannin ranged from 0.01 – 0.10 mg/100 g for achi, 0.03- 0.12 mg/100 g for bambara groundnut and 0.02 – 0.05 mg/100 g for cowpea malts, phytate was in the range of 0.03 – 1.09 mg/100 g for achi, 1.04 – 4.26 mg/100 g for bambara groundnut and 0.40 – 2.80 mg/100 g for cowpea. Malting of the achi seeds may have reduced the components that bind pro-vitamin A in the unmalted samples. Hence, malted achi is recommended for food fortification of plant based complementary foods to increase their pro-vitamin A content.
efecto Newgate
Authors: Ramón García Emilio
Published: December 2023

De entre el corpus de literatura de patíbulo europea, los Newgate Calendars suponen un hito por su popularidad y por su difusión desde el siglo XVII. Pese a estar planteado originalmente como relato con un claro propósito moralista y para validar el statu quo, pronto se convierte en un fenómeno de audiencia. Llegado el siglo XIX, la concepción del crimen como pecado es reemplazado por el de ruptura del contrato social y atentado contra la propiedad privada, convirtiéndose lo Newgate en fenómeno de masas y publicándose en verso para ser cantado y en prosa para la clase alta. Como resultado, aparecería un nuevo tipo de ficción, la Newgate Novel; en la que los criminales son vistos con buenos ojos. El propósito del presente trabajo es establecer una comparativa entre En el último azul y Por el cielo y más allá y el proceso seguido por las narraciones Newgate entre los siglos XVII y XIX. Comenzando por los autos de fe de 1691 y continuando por los descendientes en el siglo XIX de una de las quemadas en aquella hoguera, las novelas secularizan gradualmente la relación oficial, plantean la falta de veracidad de ésta y se posicionan del lado de los reos.

Authors: Loría Fernández José Romilio , Picado Alfaro Miguel Evelio
Published: December 2023

Background: After mathematics curricular reform in 2012 in Costa Rica, which accentuate the functional vision of mathematics, it is worth inquiring if teachers designed tasks respond to established curricular guidelines and what mathematical and didactic characteristics that these tasks exhibit. Objectives: The aim of the study was to describe and analyze the mathematical and didactic elements, linked to the curricular proposal for Secondary Education in Costa Rica, used by in-service mathematics teachers for designing or selecting school tasks oriented to the development of mathematics skills on the subject of functions. Design: It corresponds to a descriptive-qualitative research, based on an intrinsic study of cases. Setting and Participants: Participants were five mathematics teachers from different educational institutions in Costa Rica during the year 2022 were studied, all teachers participated in a training program to promote teacher reflection competence regarding the design and analysis of school mathematics. Data collection and analysis: Data was collected from school mathematical tasks designed by the participants. The analysis of the information was carried out by defining categories and units of analysis based on the curricular provisions established for the teaching and learning of mathematics in Costa Rica, and the components of didactic analysis, as a methodology for the design of school mathematics tasks. Results: The analyzed tasks exhibit strengths in the curricular component, as well as in the didactic component. However, they lack elements that allow understanding how and when to put the designed tasks into practice, among other aspects. Conclusions: The training of in-service teachers takes a significant enhancement to strengthen knowledge and capacities oriented to the design, selection, and analysis of school mathematics tasks, associated with the functional vision of mathematics that articulates the curricular plan regarding student learning in Secondary Education in Costa Rica.

Authors: Shchaeva S. N.
Published: December 2023

The aim of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of clinical and morphological data of patients of different age groups after emergency resection interventions for complicated colon cancer. Materials and methods. The retrospective cohort study included 227 patients who underwent emergency operations for complicated colon cancer during the period from September 2016 to December 2022. Two groups of patients were selected: group 1 – under 60 years old, group 2–60 years old and older. In the 2nd group, 2 subgroups were selected: patients aged between 60 to 74 years and patients between 75 years and older. The primary point of the study was assessment of postoperative complications according to the Clavien–Dindo classification within 30 days after surgery. The secondary point was study of oncological adequacy of the operation. Results. The study included 128 (56.4 %) women and 99 (43.6 %) men. The median age was 66 years. Forty seven (20.7 %) patients were included in the group of persons younger than 60 years; 180 (79.3 %) patients were included in the group 60 years and older. There were no differences between the groups by gender and tumor localization. Tumor perforation was more often recorded in group 2 (23.3 % and 4.3 %, p = 0.017). High comorbidity was also more often observed in group 2 (46.8 % and 100 %, p = 0.023). In group 2, the physical status mostly corresponded to ASA grade 3 and 4 (p = 0.031). The difference between the groups by T-status was revealed: in group 1, there were more cases of T2-T3 (76.6 % vs. 46.7 %), and in group 2 – of T4 (53.3 % vs. 23.4 %), p = 0.034. Most patients in group 1 had the pN2 status (68.1 %), however, the pN1 status prevailed in the 2nd group (70 %). There were more oncologically inadequate operations in group 2: 54 (30 %) compared with group 1–2 (4.3 %) (p = 0.004). The main factors influencing the radicality of the performed operation were the type of urgent complication – tumor perforation (odds ratio (OR) 1.81, 95 % CI 1.43–3.96, p = 0.002); type of surgery (the Hartmann type surgery) (OR 1.62, 95 % CI 1.22–3.83, p <0.001); age OR 0.76, 95 % CI 0.54–1.33, p = 0.004); comorbidity (OR 0.61, 95 % CI 0.43–1.28, p = 0.02); physical status of patients according to ASA classification grade 3–4 at admission (OR 0.52, 95 % CI 0.30–1.49, p = 0.002); tumor localization (OR 0.43, 95 % CI 0.28–1.15, p = 0.011). Conclusion. Emergency operations for complicated colon cancer are characterized by a high risk of serious postoperative complications, especially in elderly and senile patients. In patients younger than 60 years of age, the malignant tumors are often characterized by more aggressive course with damage to regional lymph nodes (N2 status).

Non-organ cysts of mesothelial origin are one of the groups of cystic neoplasms with rare and difficult-to-diagnose pathology of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space. Today, the etiological factors remain the subject of interdisciplinary discussions, their clinical manifestations are non-specific, and their differential diagnosis is diverse. Often, these neoplasms become accidentally detected during surgical interventions or during routine diagnostic examinations. Currently, there are no uniform standards or recommendations to treat such diseases, however, according to literature sources, there is a consensus that mesothelial cysts of the retroperitoneal space and abdominal cavity should be completely removed within healthy tissues. Today, modern medical achievements and accumulated long-term experience allow us to successfully diagnose and perform radical treatment for any localization of such neoplasms. We present our own experience from the clinical practice of successful surgical treatment of non-organ cysts of mesothelial origin.

Published: December 2023

Until recently, the prognosis of patients with advanced endometrial cancer remained disappointing despite the standard treatment methods. None of the drugs in the arsenal of oncologists-chemotherapists provided long-term disease control and long-term survival of patients who received standard platinum-containing first-line chemotherapy. It is obvious that the poor results of treatment in patients with advanced endometrial cancer required a change in treatment approaches and indicated the need to develop more effective treatment regimens. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms of carcinogenesis, the emergence of new molecular classification of endometrial cancer and division of treatment approaches depending on the tumor biological potential has led to significant breakthrough in the treatment of advanced endometrial cancer. One of the most significant achievements is discovery of the function of microsatellite instability (MSI) and disorders in the repair system of unpaired bases of deoxyribonucleic acid (MMR) as a predictor of high efficient immunotherapy – a new direction of systemic drug therapy for the advanced endometrial cancer. The paper presents a clinical case of successful treatment of MSI-h / dMMR-positive advanced endometrial cancer using pembrolizumab as a second-line therapy (in the presence of refractoriness to standard platinum-based chemotherapy of the 1st line) in a mono mode with a complete radiological response of the tumor to treatment.
CHURCH SLAVONICISM REPRESENTATION IN THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX BELIEVERS EVERYDAY LANGUAGE
Authors:   Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University, Lutsk, Ukraine, Boreiko Yuriі , Kulakevych Mykhailo ,   Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University, Lutsk, Ukraine
Published: December 2023

Based on the socio-historical features clarification of the Church Slavonic language development in Ukraine, the article reveals the Church Slavonic lexicon semantic potential in the Ukrainian Orthodox believers' everyday language using the semantic analysis example of individual lexical units. The significant importance of the Church Slavonic language as the Orthodox tradition foundation is determined. It is established that believers' everyday language in the form of an Orthodox sociolect appears as a linguistic microsystem characterized by certain parameters and possibilities of functioning. At the Ukrainian Orthodox believers' everyday communication level, archaic vocabulary becomes actual, new connotations appear, and the deatheization of a certain word group continues. The statement that by the beginning of the 90s of the 20th century the Ukrainian literary language development and the Church Slavonic liturgical language rehabilitation were not priority areas of state policy is substantiated. Having a confessional character, the Church Slavonic language was detached from live use in various spheres of social life and underwent numerous changes, codification, and normalization. This led to the traditional Ukrainian version displacement of the Church Slavonic language from use, which was reflected in its use in the church sphere. The influence of the living Ukrainian language tradition was manifested in the reproduction of the Church Slavonic language in the confessional environment. Russification of the Orthodox Church in the 19th century was contrasted with the oral liturgical tradition, which enabled priests and deacons to interpret Church Slavonicisms in the Ukrainian language during church services. Unlike the vernacular and book versions of the Ukrainian language, the Church Slavonic language was never used in live communication. It was used during prayers or religious services, and at the state level – as a literary language in diplomatic and legal correspondence. An exception is the borrowing of individual lexemes and syntactic constructions used in the modern Ukrainian language for stylistic purposes.
ORTHODOX IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE UKRAINIAN-RUSSIAN WAR IN THE CONTEXT OF THE UKRAINIAN CHAPLAIN SERVICE
Authors:   National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsia, Ukraine, Vergeles Kostiantyn
Published: December 2023

The article examines the peculiarities of the functioning of Orthodoxy in modern society, in particular in the conditions of the Ukrainian- Russian war. The main focus is on the problems of socio-cultural changes occurring during the hostilities and the place and role of Orthodoxy in these changes. The problems that have arisen in the middle of the modern socio-cultural world environment and the approaches proposed for their solution give the right to assert that religion in general, Orthodoxy in particular, can retain its function in the future to ensure basic universal moral values. Regarding the Ukrainian society, we can talk about the ethical and moral content identical to the world environment. World Orthodoxy takes religious morality as the basis of universal morality, and defines it as a system of norms and rules that limits a person's physical demands and directs him to spiritual pursuits. In Ukraine, the dominant religion is Orthodoxy, and ideally we would like this Orthodoxy to be exclusively Ukrainian, and not any other. Modern Ukrainian reality shows everyone that Orthodoxy as such preserves its moral and ethical essence, as an indestructible basis of its existence. Analyzing the place of religion in general, Orthodoxy in particular, in the socio- cultural processes of modern Ukraine, it is worth noting that religion as such is quite often used by the political sphere to motivate its ideological basis, as well as to influence mass consciousness. In our opinion, one of the important factors in the formation of Ukrainian society and Orthodoxy is the functioning and development of the new and old direction of Orthodox service – the modern chaplaincy. For a more detailed analysis of this problem, it is worth turning to the history of the origin and development of chaplaincy in Ukraine and in the world.

Authors: Okay Hakan Bora , Özacar Atilla Arda
Published: December 2023

The averaged shear-wave velocity of the top 30 m (VS30) is widely used in earthquake engineering as a proxy to represent site responses. However, the spatial availability of measured VS30 is rather limited, and, so far, a region-specific VS30 model that would aid prediction of strong ground motions is not yet developed for Türkiye. In this study, a new strategy for predicting VS30 is developed using data from Türkiye and California. At first, VS30 measurements are classified into four sedimentary classes according to their ages (Quaternary–Pliocene, Miocene, Paleogene, and Pre-Paleogene) and three nonsedimentary classes (Intrusive, Extrusive, and Metamorphic). Observations from Quaternary–Pliocene deposits are most abundant and characterized by large data scatter, thus further divided into two major landform groups. Because the reduction of VS with saturation is pronounced in soils due to capillary forces, Quaternary–Pliocene deposits are also differentiated as wet if the water table depth is less than 30 m and dry otherwise. In California, available groundwater measurements are utilized while flat areas with elevation differences less than 30 m from water bodies (sea, lake, and major rivers) are mapped out as wet zones throughout Türkiye. After the elimination of outliers, slope and elevation-based VS30 prediction equations are developed separately for subclasses of Quaternary–Pliocene, Miocene, and Paleogene-aged sedimentary units using multivariable linear regression, whereas VS30 values of Pre-Paleogene sedimentary and nonsedimentary units are fixed to the mean of each subclass. Resultant model misfits and comparisons with measurements from the microzonation study conducted across İstanbul clearly indicate that our proposed VS30 prediction strategy is performing better than the competing models tested, especially in the youngest sedimentary units, and thus provides a new, accurate VS30 model of Türkiye.
Fault-Slip Potential near the Deadly 8 September 2023 Mw 6.8 Al Haouz, Morocco, Earthquake
Authors: Levandowski Will
Published: December 2023

Thousands were killed by the 8 September 2023 Mw 6.8 Al Haouz, Morocco, earthquake in the western High Atlas (WHA) Mountains. To identify the faults and fault orientations most likely to host aftershocks and future large earthquakes, regional crustal stress is estimated from focal mechanism inversions, and the associated slip potential of known and suspected active faults is modeled. North–south shortening is accommodated by a mix of reverse, oblique-reverse, and strike-slip motion. As such, many fault orientations are well aligned for slip: steep north-northeast-, south-southwest-, southeast-, or northwest-striking planes, gently (∼15°–50°) dipping east- and west-striking planes, and all orientations between. Nearly all mapped regional faults have high slip potential. By contrast, steep east–west and nearly all north–south faults are relatively stable, although low friction in the anomalously hot lower crust of the WHA, such as due to partial melt, could allow slip on these suboptimal faults as well.

This issue of On_Education addresses data as the foundational means of research practice, ethical and social implications of data, as well as the governance of data by highlighting the recent past of data (and its bias), methodological implications of data, ontologies of data, and the political relevance of data. The seven articles offer thought-provoking perspectives to deepen our understanding of the complex relationship between data and educational research. With these perspectives, the editors hope to contribute to and stimulate ongoing discussions about the meaning and relevance of data use in and for education.
Challenges for the Design of International Assessments: Sampling, Measurement, and Causality
Authors: Strietholt Rolf , Johansson Stefan
Published: December 2023

This paper examines critical design factors that influence data quality in educational research, using international large-scale educational assessments as an example. We will focus on statistical challenges related to sampling, measurement, and causality. While international assessments employ rigorous random sampling techniques, deviations such as exclusions and non-participation can introduce bias and affect representativeness. In terms of measurement, although these assessments excel in core domains, there is a growing call for broader assessment areas, such as environmental literacy and civic education. Additionally, concerns are emerging about the quality of context surveys. Causality remains a central concern, and despite the challenges posed by the cross-sectional design, combining data and applying sophisticated analytical methods can help address causal questions. Recognising the interconnectedness of sampling, measurement, and causality is essential for conducting robust research and informing evidence-based policies and practices.

Combined osteosynthesis for tibial shaft fracture treatment
Authors: Klyshnikov K. A. , Sazonova N. V. , Popkov A. V.
Published: December 2023

Introduction Widespread use of intramedullary and extramedullary implants, as well as external fixation devices, has demonstrated that current surgical methods are not always successful.

The study aimed to assess the efficiency of a combination of transosseous osteosynthesis with intramedullary reinforcement using elastic titanium hydroxyapatite-coated rods (HA-rods) in long bone fracture treatment.

Material and methods Medical records of 40 patients aged from 18 to 55 years with closed diaphyseal tibia fractures of A1-A3 type (AO/ASIF) treated with the Ilizarov transosseous osteosynthesis method combined with intramedullary elastic HA-coated wires were analysed. Result Ilizarov fixator removal was performed on average 45.3 ± 14.7 days after surgery. Radiological signs of bone union (immature callus, patterns of periosteal and endosteal stratifications overlapping the fracture line) were visible by week 3 to 4.

Discussion Соmbination of the external fixator and intramedullary elastic HA-coated wires overcomes shortcomings of both external and internal means of fixation. External osteosynthesis provides advantages of the Ilizarov method: preservation of blood supply, absence of soft tissue injury, joint function and early weightbearing. Elastic intramedullary wires do not injure a. nutricia and mechanically stimulate endosteal and periosteal bone formation.

Conclusion The advantages of combined osteosynthesis provide reduction of Ilizarov apparatus fixation time, reduction in the number of wires and half-pins in the frame assembly, stimulation of bone callus formation and prevention of secondary bone fragment displacement.
Preliminary experience with bioabsorbable intramedullary nails for paediatric forearm fractures: results of a mini-series
Authors: Jozsa G. , Kassai T. , Varga M.
Published: December 2023

Introduction Forearm fractures are common injuries in childhood. Completely displaced and unstable fractures require surgical intervention. Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) is widely used in treating these fractures. Although stainless steel and titanium implants are the most widely used, resorbable nails are becoming an option.

Aim To present our initial experience in treating forearm fractures in children with Resorbable Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ReSIN).

Methods The authors present several cases treated with ReSIN, their summarry and describe the techniqual steps. Results The series included 4 patients operated on with ReSIN. Bone union with anatomic and functional recovery was stated in all cases within the period of 5-7 months after surgery.

Discussion More and more paediatric fractures can be treated with absorbable implants and result in good outcomes. It can be said that the new methods enabled similar stable fixation as with metal implants, which is considered the gold standard. A distinct advantage over metal implants is that there is no need to remove the implant, thus avoiding a second operation and reducing the risk of surgical complications. Another positive thing is that absorbable implants can be sunk the level of the cortical layer of the bone, they can easily be dropped under the skin. The only drawback of the method is the price of the implants.

Conclusion The management of paediatric diaphyseal forearm fractures with bioabsorbable intramedullary nails is a promising emerging alternative to the gold standard ESIN technique.
Tuning of PID Controller for A Sun Seeker System Using Fuzzy Logic
Authors: Islam Md. Shahidul , Khalil Md. Ebrahim , Shefaet Md. Alif Al
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we utilize the potential of using computational software based methodology in controllers for a sun seeker system. In sun seeker system, PID controller is used due to simple control structure, robustness, wide range of applicability, etc.  The controller can provide control action designed for specific process requirements, by tuning the three constants in the PID controller algorithm. But in the conventional tuning method, the PID controllers are not very efficient because of the presence of nonlinearity in the system of the plant and also it has a quite high overshoot and settling time. This paper presents a formal new methodology that is fuzzy control to design and tune PID controller for obtaining better dynamic and static performance at the output. This paper also discusses the benefits of the soft computing methods.
