Xác định lượng tổn thất nhiệt và đề xuất giải pháp nâng cao hiệu quả bảo quản lạnh trên tàu cá vỏ composite
Authors: Phạm Thanh Nhựt
Published: June 2023

Hiện nay, đội tàu cá bằng vật liệu composite không ngừng gia tăng về số lượng, kích thước và công suất máy. Cùng với đó, sản lượng và hiệu quả đánh bắt cũng tăng lên đáng kể. Tuy nhiên, chất lượng sản phẩm sau đánh bắt chưa được cải thiện và làm giảm đáng kể giá thành sản phẩm, ảnh hưởng đến thu nhập của ngư dân. Do đó, nâng cao hiệu quả bảo quản lạnh trên tàu cá vỏ composite là giải pháp quan trọng góp phần nâng cao chất lượng sản phẩm. Một trong những nguyên nhân chính ảnh hưởng đến hiệu quả bảo quản là do tổn thất nhiệt qua kết cấu của hầm cá. Kết cấu chủ yếu của hầm bảo quản cá trên tàu vỏ composite là dạng sandwich với ba lớp vật liệu: lớp vỏ tàu bằng composite, lớp cách nhiệt bằng Polyurethan và lớp lót bằng composite. Trong nghiên cứu này, tổn thất nhiệt trong hầm cá của một tàu composite cụ thể được tính toán ứng với các mức nhiệt độ trong hầm khác nhau, dao động từ 1ºC đến 5ºC. Trên cơ sở đó, một số giải pháp nâng cao hiệu quả bảo quản lạnh trên tàu cá vỏ composite được đề xuất để có thể áp dụng trong thực tế.

Authors: Nguyễn Văn Quỳnh Bôi
Published: June 2023

Hiện nay, các vùng biển và đại dương thế giới ngày càng bị ô nhiễm bởi không chỉ nhựa (plastics) mà còn nhiều vật liệu tổng hợp (synthetics) không phân hủy sinh học (non-biodegradable) khác. Ước tính lượng chất thải này đi vào các vùng biển và đại dương dao động từ 4,8 đến 12,7 triệu tấn mỗi năm. Các chất thải này đưa đến một nguy cơ thật sự và lâu dài không chỉ đối với sinh vật biển và đa dạng sinh học mà cả con người. Theo đó, việc giải quyết vấn đề ô nhiễm các vùng biển và đại dương bởi chất thải này đã trở nên cấp bách. Thực tế chỉ ra rằng các biện pháp ứng phó với vấn đề ô nhiễm biển và đại dương bởi chất thải dạng này đòi hỏi sự tham gia và hợp tác bởi tất cả các quốc gia, giữa các tổ chức chính phủ và phi chính phủ, doanh nghiệp và tổ chức xã hội hướng đến các giải pháp tổng hợp nhằm làm giảm “đầu vào” của nhựa thải.

Mixed reality visualization in shoulder arthroplasty: is it better than traditional preoperative planning software?
Authors: Abdic Sejla , Van Osch Nicholas J. , Langohr Daniel G. , Johnson James A. , Athwal George S.
Published: June 2023

Background: Preoperative traditional software planning (TSP) is a method used to assist surgeons with implant selection and glenoid guide-pin insertion in shoulder arthroplasty. Mixed-Reality (MR) is a new technology that uses digital holograms of the preoperative plan and guide-pin trajectory projected into the operative field. The purpose of this study was to compare TSP to MR in a simulated surgical environment involving insertion of guide-pins into models of severely deformed glenoids. Methods: Eight surgeons inserted guide-pins into eight randomized three-dimensional-printed severely eroded glenoid models in a simulated surgical environment using either TSP or MR. In total, 128 glenoid models were used and statistically compared. The outcomes compared between techniques included procedural time, difference in guide-pin start point, difference in version and inclination, and surgeon confidence via a confidence rating scale. Results: When comparing traditional preoperative software planning to MR visualization as techniques to assist surgeons in glenoid guide pin insertion, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of mean procedure time (P=0.634), glenoid start-point (TSP = 2.2 ± 0.2 mm , MR = 2.1 ± 0.1 mm; P=0.760), guide-pin orientation (P=0.586), or confidence rating score (P=0.850). Conclusions: The results demonstrate that there were no significant differences between traditional preoperative software planning and MR visualization for guide-pin placement into models of eroded glenoids. A perceived benefit of MR is the real-time intraoperative visibility of the surgical plan and the patient’s anatomy; however, this did not translate into decreased procedural time or improved guide-pin position.

The cat's whisker plant (Orthosiphon stamineus) can be useful as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and anti-microbial activity and has a diuretic effect. The leaves of the cat's whiskers are medicinal plants that contain flavonoid compounds. Cat whiskers plant can also be used to treat various types of diseases both empirically and clinically, including kidney stones. Kidney stones are a clinical disorder due to the blockage of the components of crystal stones that inhibit the work of the kidneys and can cause abnormalities in the urinary tract. Some constituent compounds that are usually found in kidney stones are calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate (brusit), uric acid, cystine, struvite (MgNH4PO4), and wedelit (Bakta, 1995). Efforts to treat kidney stones by utilizing a variety of herbs as medicine, in this context by using a cat whiskers plant called Alternative Medicine, this is because herbal plants have minimal side effects in long-term use when used with the right indications and proportions, the price is also more affordable and easy to obtain. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and provide information on morphology, secondary metabolite content, and pharmacological activity of cat whiskers plants so that they can be used as a support for kidney health. This research is a study of literature or literature review is a type of research that collects, manages, uses, and reviews research data sourced from scientific research journals, previous research manuscripts, and textbooks that have relevance to the theme. The results of a literature search indicate that the cat's whisker plant can be beneficial for kidney health because the extract has diuretic activity and can modulate the excretion of sodium and potassium ions in the urine. The presence of flavonoids, saponins, and phenolic compounds that play a role in diuresis activity, so this cat whiskers plant is efficacious in treating kidney stone disease because it has the effect of destroying kidney stones, reducing urine (diuretic) and anti-inflammatory (anti-inflammatory).

Coffee consumption can cause extrinsic discoloration. A treatment that can be done to improve tooth discoloration is bleaching. Bleaching procedures can be carried out using alternative materials that do not cause side effects on dental and oral health, such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). This study aims to determine the effectiveness of baking soda 20%, 40%, and 60% on teeth that were discolored by coffee. The study used experimental research with a pretest-posttest group design with a total of 27 premolars study samples divided into three treatment groups: soaking the teeth in a solution of baking soda 20%, 40%, and 60%. Measurement of tooth discoloration using the VITAPAN® Classical Shade guide. Data analysis using the One-Way Anova test followed by post-hoc Tukey analysis. The results showed a significant change in tooth color between the three immersion groups, namely the group with the concentration of baking soda 20%, 40%, and 60% with p=0.012 (p<0.05). A 60% baking soda solution was more effective in whitening teeth with coffee discoloration than 20% and 40%, respectively.
Dual-Process Accounts of the Creative Problem Solving and Human Connectome
Authors: Wu Ching-Lin , Chen Hsueh-Chih
Published: June 2023

The association of different networks in the human brain with creativity has received increasing attention as an active research topic. Creativity is a multidimensional concept reflecting different cognitive processes and associations mediated by the brain network. In this study, we first identified connections between the topological properties of the white matter network and divergent thinking and insight problem solving. Then, we performed a graph-theoretical analysis to calculate the efficiency of the brain network and to predict divergent thinking and insight-based problem solving. We found that effective information transmission across brain regions was significantly correlated with creative problem solving. Divergent thinking requires few connections between brain regions to produce novel ideas, whereas insight problem solving requires simultaneous processing by more brain regions to restructure the presentation of the problem. The results show that the integrated efficiency of the brain network varies between open- and closed-ended creative problem solving.
Pain Catastrophizing Is Associated with a Pattern of Negative Emotional States and a Lack of Positive Emotional Priming
Authors: Boyette-Davis Jessica
Published: June 2023

Pain catastrophizing (PC) is a predictor of pain outcomes that is typified by a host of negative changes in mood and cognition, and there is a need to continue defining PC's role in pain and daily life. This study sought to add to the body of literature on PC by investigating the influence of subconsciously presented cues on the interpretation of otherwise ambiguous stimuli. I assessed 216 participants for PC and completed questionnaires that quantified their emotional state and level of behavioral inhibition before and after being exposed to masked primers for either pain/negative emotion, neutral emotion, or happiness. Participants were then asked to interpret ambiguous stimuli (word stems). It was found that the presentation of unpleasant, pain-related masked images resulted in the generation of more negative words than pleasant, non-pain-related masked images. However, the pleasant images failed to result in lower levels of negative words for catastrophizers, indicating a bias to perceive negativity even in pleasant situations. PC was further found to be associated with more negative affect, greater behavioral inhibition, and higher levels of anxiety, pain, and depression. Catastrophizers reported significant negative emotional valence on several indices and did not benefit from masked priming for positive emotions compared to those with less PC. These findings may be useful in defining the parameters of future studies on PC and could be used by clinicians and physicians attempting to treat patients with chronic pain.

Uomo, analogia di Dio: dialettica universale e creazione in Giovanni Scoto Eriugena
Authors: Valsecchi Alessandro
Published: June 2023

Nel pensiero di Giovanni Scoto Eriugena si può ritrovare un rapporto analogico sussistente tra Dio e la natura umana. Ultimo dei grandi neoplatonici, egli propone un sistema filosofico caratterizzato da un movimento universale distinto in tre momenti: la creazione, lo sviluppo e il ritorno. Essi sono identificati rispettivamente al pensiero, alla parola e alla comprensione; tutti e tre mostrano l’analogia tra il creatore e la sua creatura. Nel principio, le cause primordiali di tutte le cose consistono in definizioni, pensate da Dio tramite l’intelletto umano. Nell’operazione che le sviluppa nei loro effetti, queste cause sono pronunciate nel e dal Verbo secondo le regole della dialettica, per essere ricevute e intese dall’uomo. Infine, il ritorno all’unità originaria coincide con la comprensione dell’universo, attraverso uno studio della scrittura e della natura, strumenti necessari a ricostituire la natura umana infranta dal peccato originale e permetterne la deificazione. Lo studio dei rapporti analogici che si presentano costantemente in queste tre tappe universali permette di mostrare l’originalità della filosofia eriugeniana e la sua capacità di rielaborare in maniera inedita alcuni tra i maggiori concetti filosofici della tradizione tardoantica.
 
In the thought of John Scottus Eriugena, an analogical relationship may be found between God and human nature. Last of the great Neo-Platonists, he proposes a philosophical system distinguished by a universal movement divided into three moments: creation, development and return. They are identified respectively with thought, speech and understanding; all three show the analogy between the creator and his creature. In the beginning, the primordial causes of all things consist in definitions, conceived by God through the human intellect. In the operation that develops them into their effects, these causes are pronounced in and by the Verb according to the rules of dialectics, to be received and understood by Man. Finally, the return to the original unity coincides with the understanding of the universe, through a study of scripture and nature, instruments necessary to reconstitute human nature shattered by the original sin and allow its deification. The study of the analogical relationships that constantly arise in these three universal stages allows us to show the originality of Eriugenian philosophy and its ability to rework philosophical concepts from the late antique tradition in a novel way.
L’analogia tra ‘Filosofia’ e ‘Amicizia’ in Dante: note in margine a Convivio III, xi
Authors: Zambiasi Roberto
Published: June 2023

L’articolo si concentra sull’analisi dell’estesa comparazione tra filosofia e amicizia proposta da Dante in Convivio III, xi, interpretandola come una consapevole analogia. A partire da un’attenta esegesi del capitolo, letto come un peculiare accessus ad philosophiam dantesco, l’articolo ripercorre le tappe dell’analogia evidenziandone i principali contenuti teorici. In questo modo, diventa possibile mostrare la rilevanza del tema dell’amicizia (in particolare di quella tra maestro e allievo) per una corretta comprensione di uno degli aspetti fondamentali (e anche più dibattuti) della pratica filosofica così come concepita da Dante, ovvero il suo carattere intrinsecamente collettivo. Inoltre, l’articolo sottolinea come l’amicizia costituisca per Dante uno degli strumenti essenziali per l’allargamento del sapere filosofico al di fuori dei circoli universitari, obiettivo a cui il Convivio dichiaratamente mira.

 

The article focuses on the analysis of the extended comparison between philosophy and friendship advanced by Dante in Convivio III, xi, interpreting it as a conscious analogy. Starting from a careful exegesis of the chapter, read as Dante’s peculiar accessus ad philosophiam, the article goes through the stages of the analogy, and it highlights its main theoretical contents. In this way, it becomes possible to show the relevance of the topic of friendship (especially that between master and student) for a correct understanding of one of the fundamental (and most debated) aspects of philosophical practice as conceived by Dante, i.e., its intrinsically collective character. Moreover, the article underlines that friendship constitutes for Dante one of the essential instruments in order to broaden philosophical knowledge outside of university circles, something that the Convivio explicitly purports to do.

It is suggested that mitigation strategies should be formulated to combat industrial pollution, and significant healthcare services should be provided to the people residing near the industrial areas.
Socio-Economic Political Systems and the Sovereignty of Allah: An Analysis of Iqbal's Poem “Iblees Ki Majlis-e-Shura”
Authors: Ghani Fakhra , Qureshi Hafsah Ayaz , Zahid Syeda Ujala , Hassan Ayesha
Published: June 2023

“Iblees Ki Majlis-e-Shura ” is a thought-provoking poem by Allama Iqbal that delves into the intersection between socio-economic-political systems and the sovereignty of Allah. Through an analysis of the poem, this paper explores Iqbal's perspective on the role of governance in promoting social justice and the importance of acknowledging the supremacy of Allah in shaping political systems. The poem presents a hypothetical scenario in which the devil, Iblees, convenes a council of advisors to discuss the best way to govern humanity. Iqbal uses this metaphor to critique the prevailing political systems of his time and argue for a system based on Islamic principles that prioritize justice and equality for all. Iqbal's poem highlights the need for leaders to be guided by a moral compass that reflects the values of Allah. He suggests that the pursuit of power and wealth at the expense of the poor and marginalized is antithetical to the sovereignty of Allah and will ultimately lead to societal collapse. Overall, this paper concludes that Iqbal's poem offers a compelling critique of contemporary socioeconomic political systems and provides a blueprint for a more just and equitable society based on the principles of Islamic governance.

The current study deals with the comparison of three variables among working officials, i.e. work-family conflict with psychological well-being and the quality of life of the employees. The participants of this study were officials belonging to different fields of life, such as doctors, teachers, lawyers and bankers. The sample of this study was (N=20) individuals screened out with higher levels of work-family conflicts out of the sample of (N=100) officials. Data was collected by using three scales. The level of work-family conflict was checked by administering WFC-Scale developed by Haslam et al. (2015). The level of psychological well-being was measured by using Psychological Well-being Scale developed by Ryff (1995), and the level of Quality of Life was measured by using the Quality of Life scale developed by WHO (1998). The collected data was analyzed by SPSS. The statistical analysis of the data showed that the overall level of WFC was higher among females as compared to male working officials. The quality of life was higher among males as compared with female working officials. The comparison also showed that the WFC was higher among unmarried officials, and the PW & QL was higher among married officials. Hence, the study concluded that female officials are suffering from more WFC instead of males.

The Qisas and Diyat is product of Islamic jurisprudence. The laws in Pakistan with distinct applicability of conceptual approach of Qisas and Diyat laws in trails are inadequately address the purposes of criminal justice along with consequences of vast judicial dircretion in Qisas and Diyat cases will not serving the purpose of administering justice. The Holy Quran hasn’t provided dictionary definition of justice, but it establishes conceptual approach to the principle of equilibrium, parity, righteous, proper assessing, veracity, individual capacity and progress and the accepted mandate. The key form of justice is the egalitarianism of human personalities being valued as Human beings, evidently indicated in the Holy injunctions of and even stressed in the last Holy Sermon of (PBUH).

The Qisas and Diyat laws, as pooled in Pakistan Penal Code, 1860, have not been argued and debated adequately and hence contain imperfections, tend to bring imbalance and introduce crimes like violence against women, vani, swara etc. The aim of the analysis is to address the shortcomings and loopholes prevailing in the criminal justice system by advancing solutions and concept clarity related to the institution of aqilah.

Abamectin offers great protection against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a well-known devastating pathogen of pine tree stands. Trunk injection of nematicides is currently the most preferred method of control. This study aimed to evaluate the potency of the commonly used formulations of abamectin against B. xylophilus. Twenty-one formulations of abamectin were evaluated by comparing their sublethal toxicities and reproduction inhibition potentials against B. xylophilus. Nematodes were treated with diluted formulation concentrations in multi-well culture plates. And, populations pre-exposed to pre-determined concentrations of the formulations were inoculated onto Botrytis cinerea culture, and in pine twig cuttings. Potency was contrastingly different among formulations, with LC95 of 0.00285 and 0.39462 mg/ml for the most, and the least potent formulation, respectively. Paralysis generally occurred at an application dose of 0.06 μg/ml or higher, and formulations with high sublethal toxicities caused significant paralysis levels at the tested doses, albeit the variations. Nematode reproduction was evident at lower doses of 0.00053-0.0006 μg/ml both on Botrytis cinerea and pine twigs, with significant variations among formulations. Thus, the study highlighted the inconsistencies in the potency of similar product formulations with the same active ingredient concentration against the target organism, and the need to analyze the potential antagonistic effects of the additives used in formulations.

Fungal isolates from infected Chinese quince trees were found to cause black rot in Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk Province, Korea. The quince leaves withered and turned reddish-brown and fruits underwent black mummification. To elucidate the cause of these symptoms, the pathogen was isolated from infected leaf and fruit tissues on potato dextrose agar and Levan media. Several fungal colonies forming a fluffy white or dark gray mycelium and two types of fungi forming an aerial white mycelium, growing widely at the edges, were isolated. Microscopic observations, investigation of fungal growth characteristics on various media, and molecular identification using an internal transcribed spacer, β-tubulin, and translation elongation factor 1-α genes were performed. The fungal pathogens were identified as Diplodia parva and Diplodia crataegicola. Pathogenicity tests revealed that the pathogen-inoculated fruits exhibited a layered pattern, turning brown rotting; leaves showed circular brown necrotic lesions. The developed symptoms were similar to those observed in the field. Fungal pathogens were reisolated to fulfill Koch’s postulates. Apples were inoculated with fungal pathogens to investigate the host range. Strong pathogenicity was evident in the fruits, with browning and rotting symptoms 3 days after inoculation. To determine pathogen control, a fungicidal sensitivity test was conducted using four registered fungicides. Thiophanate-methyl, propineb, and tebuconazole inhibited the mycelial growth of pathogens. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the isolation and identification of the fungal pathogens D. parva and D. crataegicola from infected fruits and leaves of Chinese quince, causing black rot disease in Korea.

Aim: Gynecomastia is defined as an increase in the stromal and ductal components of the male breast due to an imbalance between the effects of free estrogen and testosterone which affects adolescents commonly. The aim of this study is to determine the causes of breast masses in young males and adolescents and to test the hypothesis that gynecomastia will be smaller and less frequent in adult males than adolescents due to the regulation of hormone levels after adolescence.Methods: Breast ultrasound imaging studies between January 2014 and October 2019 were reviewed and a total of 345 male patients between 9-20 and 21-35 years of age were included in the study. Lesions were classified as normal male breast appearance, unilateral gynecomastia, bilateral gynecomastia, increased subcutaneous-adipose tissue (pseudogynecomastia), lipoma, suspicious lesion, and other benign findings as infection. Sizes of fibroglandular tissue were reported and compared between age groups. Statistical analysis of lesion types and patient groups was performed by the Chi-square test. Patient age and gynecomastia status were analyzed by Student’s t-test. Patient age and size of gynecomastia were compared by the Spearman correlation test.Results: Two hundred and eight young males and 137 adolescents formed the study group. Sixty percent of the adults and 77.6% of the adolescents had gynecomastia. The second most common pathology was pseudogynecomastia in 17% of the young adults and, 12% of the adolescents. One suspicious lesion was found in the adult group and the pathology revealed gynecomastia. Gynecomastia was found to be more common in the adolescent group (P
