A DEVICE WITH A MICROCONTROLLER THAT KEEPS THE TEMPERATURE STABLE DURING THE PRODUCTION OF PLASTIC PIPES
Authors: Rahim Mammadov Rahim Mammadov , Anakhanim Mutallimova Anakhanim Mutallimova , Rukhsara Novruzova Rukhsara Novruzova
Published: May 2023

The quality of plastic pipes is negatively affected by many destabilizing factors, which include improper operation of the traction mechanism, vacuum forming, cleanliness of the forming head, dependence on the screw, etc. All these destabilizing factors affect the quality of the product. But an important destabilizing factor among these reasons, of course, is the temperature of the molten raw material and its stability over the entire production cycle. Due to the inaccurate setting of the temperature of the raw material and its change during the production process, the raw material can be more or less liquid or viscous, which directly affects the quality of the pipe. Due to the temperature error, it is difficult to accurately determine the wall thickness of a plastic pipe. When the pipe is stretched to the required thickness, intramolecular deformations of the pipes may occur, which can have a deplorable effect on the operation of the pipes in the future. Therefore, all pipe manufacturers pay special attention to temperature control. The article analyzes the process of thermal stability of raw materials, proposes a scheme for accurately setting and maintaining a stable temperature based on microprocessor technology, and a full-scale verification of the work done. Experiments have shown the correctness of theoretical studies.
Keywords: Proportional-integral-derivative controller, temperature control, control program, automatic control device, heating element, differential, temperature error, deformation, exploitation, melt raw materials, a heating element.
Being Rather Than Becoming Managers: Dilemmas Facing Event First Level Managers
Authors: Yeardley Timothy J.
Published: May 2023

Significant research into the development of managers and leaders primarily focuses on the development of middle to senior managers. This could explain why there is little research into the development of first level managers (FLMs), and in the events industry, there is no evidence
of research into UK event first level managers (EFLMs). This research aims to broaden understanding around what training UK EFLMs receive and the type of managerial styles and competencies training they undertake when commencing their managerial careers. The findings suggest that EFLMs get
no or very little formal management development. Despite this lack of training, EFLMs are already enacting preformed approaches, not necessarily the most appropriate, when managing event teams and these managerial styles are based mostly around previous workplace experiences. These findings
assist EFLMs and those involved in event HR managerial and leadership training to capitalize on EFLMs being, rather than becoming, event managers.
Examining the Olympic Education’s Legacy on the Teacher Community: A Case Study of the Transforma Program
Authors: Ribeiro Tiago , Figueiredo Carlos , Correia Abel
Published: May 2023

Hosting the Olympic Games may result in learning skills and add educational value for the host region. Based on the legacy framework proposed by Koenigstorfer et al., the current study examines the Olympic legacy on personal experiences, training/information, networking, and skill development
of teachers. The case study was conducted in the context of Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and data were collected among teachers who attended the Transforma Program, through an online questionnaire (n = 617). The results of a structural equation model indicate that the Olympic legacy
measured through four factors contributed positively to the educational development of teachers as well as to their Olympic knowledge. This study reveals the importance of Olympic education, arguing that when Olympism is embedded into educational practices, positive consequences can occur
and contribute to positive education legacy.

Authors: Rodríguez-Peralta Juan
Published: May 2023

El concepto de enfoques de enseñanza docente es un marco de referencia dentro de la didáctica general que orienta la investigación sobre la práctica educativa. El objetivo de la investigación actual fue analizar los enfoques de enseñanza presentes en docentes de educación primaria. Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal para conocer la prevalencia de estos enfoques en una muestra de 107 docentes seleccionados aleatoriamente de seis escuelas en la zona urbana de Cuenca-Ecuador, dos de cada tipo de sostenimiento (fiscal, fiscomisional y particular). Se utilizó el cuestionario Enfoques de Enseñanza de Trigwell y Proser (2004), traducido y validado por Monroy et al. (2015), para recopilar la información. En general, los profesores se caracterizaron por adoptar un enfoque centrado en el estudiante al plantear actividades de enseñanza, aunque también implementaron actividades centradas en el docente en menor medida. La enseñanza basada en el enfoque centrado en el estudiante es consistente con las directrices psicopedagógicas del Ministerio de Educación para la orientación de la enseñanza, y se discuten las implicaciones de estos hallazgos en el contexto teórico actual.

Published: May 2023

Purpose. To study the diagnostic value of cascade family screening and the spectrum of genetic variants in patients with familial and sporadic DCM, assess clinical outcomes and comparative analysis of 5-year event-free survival.

Materials and methods. The study included 156 unrelated patients with verified DCM. All patients (aged 46 [34; 57] years; 125 (80%) male; LVEF 31 [24; 38]%; LV EDD 68 [61; 74] mm; follow-up period - 77 [59; 108] months) a complex of clinical and instrumental studies (ECG, ECHO, HM, MRI), cascade family screening with genetic testing (NGS+Sanger) and segregation analysis were performed.

Results. Criteria for familial DCM were identified in 73 (46.8%) probands. The genetic cause of DCM was identified in 47 (64,4%) familial cases, while for sporadic form DCM pathogenic variants were detected in 19 (22,9%) patients. The dominant mutations were truncating variants in the titin gene (10,9%) and variants in the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene - 8,33%. As a result of the evaluation of cumulative event-free survival (Kaplan-Meier curves), LMNA carriers showed the poor 5-year prognosis for ventricular tachyarrhythmic events (x2=39.9; p=0,0001) and composite adverse outcomes (x2=12.1; p=0.001). Probands who had a familial DCM (log rang x2=38.5; p=0,0001) showed the worst prognosis and low cumulative survival when compared with patients of the sporadic DCM.

Conclusion. Cascade clinical family screening and genetic testing in the DCM cohort increased the level of diagnosis of familial DCM from 4.5% to 46.8%. Associations of LMNA mutations with life-threatening tachyarrhythmias are defined as prognostically significant, that confirms the important role of genetic stratification of arrhythmic risk.

Authors: Sanam Saiqa , Riffat Sultana  , Surriya Sanam
Published: May 2023

Pygmy grasshoppers are ⁓14-20 mm in length, and are recognizable by a long pronotum, that extends over the length of the abdomen. Pygmy grasshoppers usually found near water, such as ponds and steams. Occasionally found in dry habitats, woodlands, rice fields and in sandy areas with lichen. These grasshoppers especially eat roots of plants, seedlings, mosses, fungi, algae and cause considerable damage to crops. In this regard four species of the family Tetrigidae were recorded and three species, namely Hedotettix costatus Hancock, 1912, H. rusticus Bolivar, 1887, H. angustivertex (Bolivar, 1908) are recorded as new country and state records. An attempt has been made to reveal the systematics of Tetrigidae in Sindh by identification based on morphological characterization, ecological distribution, photographs, line drawings and measurements of different parameters to produce a taxonomic key to the species of Sindh.

The agricultural land of Attock district falls in Pothwar area of the Punjab Pakistan which is mostly rainfed (barani) and agriculture in the area depends on rainfall which is erratic and scanty. Therefore, soil health becomes more crucial for crop growth while application of micronutrients is negligible in this area. During the years from 2016 to2018, 15,337 soil samples were collected from the district Attack to determine micronutrient status of the soil. These soil samples were analyzed for Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), Iron (Fe) and Manganse (Mn) using DTPA extraction method while dilute HCl method for Boron (B). The results indicated that nutrient index value of plant available Zn was in the marginal category (1.84) with 30.7% soil samples falling in low, 54.1% in marginal and 15.2% in adequate category. Nutrient index value of plant available Cu was in the adequate category (2.18) with 16.9 % soil samples in low, 47.9% in marginal and 35.2% in adequate category. Nutrient index value of plant available Fe was 1.46 (low) where 76.8% soil samples were found to be low and 23.2% adequate. Nutrient index value of plant available Mn was 1.11 (very low) where 89.3% soil samples were low, 9.9% marginal and only 0.8% adequate. Nutrient index value of plant available B was also in very low category (1.25) with 74.2% soil samples low and 25.8% marginal. The results indicated depletion and low concentration of micronutrient in most soil of Attock district which ultimately urges the use of balanced fertilizer for higher crop yield.

The whiteflies are polyphagous, host, and feed on the sap of sugarcane leaves may cause a loss in yield production. This study was designed to screen out the fifteen sugarcane genotypes to recognize their comparative resistance/susceptibility during 2014-15 and 2015-16. The whitefly attack was first found in June, rapidly increased in August, and reached its maximum population in October. After that, the population gradually declined from November to December. The highest 1.80 per cm2 leaf-1 population of whitefly (nymph + puparia) was recorded on YT-53, followed by 1.56 per cm2 leaf-1 in S-2007-AUS-384, which showed moderate susceptibility. The genotypes Hoth-127, NARC-1, and CP-TJ-349, exhibited less susceptible responses with an average range of 1.01-1.50 per cm2 leaf-1. The other genotypes, i.e., CP-TJ-349, Hoth-326, Th-910, S-2005-CSSG-33, S-2007-AUS-384, Hoth-2109, LAM-76/TJ-803, Th-1201, S-2009-CPSG-06, S-1996-NSG-197, NARC-2, and Th-1210 showed resistance response with an average range of 0.01-1.00 per cm2 leaf-1. The maximum Host Plant Susceptibility Indices (HPSIs) during 2015 (16% and 15%), 2016 (13% and 14%), and cumulative (16% and 14%) were recorded in YT-53 and S-2007-AUS-384, respectively. Based on the cumulative result of HPSIs, these genotypes keep in the moderately susceptible category. Similarly, the genotypes Hoth-127, NARC-1, and CP-TJ-349 showed intermediate HPSIs (12, 11, and 9% respectively, found to be less susceptible. While the genotypes, i.e., Hoth-326, Th-910, S-2005-CSSG-33, LAM-76/TJ-803, Hoth-2109, Th-1201, S-1996-NSG-197, S-2009-CPSG-06, NARC-2, and Th-1210 were recorded minimum HPSIs in the range of 1-8% possibly found to be resistant.

Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: The influence of the factors on Vitamin D as a health indicator in premenopausal and menopausal women is a significant subject to be investigated.
AIM: The study uses the potential of classification and regression trees (CART) as a data mining method for medical type samples.
METHODS: The data set is built by records of 84 indoor working women at the age of 45 to 67 years from five Bulgarian companies. The data are obtained through laboratory tests of serum concentrations of 25-OH-Vitamin D and a questionnaire, created for the study. Statistical data processing is made by descriptive statistics and the CART method.
RESULTS: The results show Vitamin D deficiency in 69% of the studied women at risk from Stara Zagora. For the target variable – Vitamin D (the quantity of 25-OH-Vitamin D), a regression CART tree was built. The calculated percentages of normalized importance for each independent variable reveal that the most important predictors, affecting Vitamin D, are body mass index (100%), alcohol (84.2%), education (70.3%), coffee (70.2%), Са_Vit D (69.8%), and sports frequency (42.4%), while the other variables have much less importance.
CONCLUSION: The application of the CART method makes it possible to study the distribution and importance of the factors influencing the state of vitamin D. The presence of such a high percentage of women at risk requires a comprehensive approach, including educational programs and strict application of guidelines for vitamin D supplementation to prevent the effects of hypovitaminosis.

Published: May 2023

Background and Aims:

Mortality associated with sepsis continues to remain high. Early diagnosis and aggressive management may improve outcomes. Biomarkers may help in early diagnosis, but the search for an ideal biomarker continues. Presepsin has been introduced as a new biomarker, however, it still needs validation before its use becomes routine. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of various biomarkers in patients with suspected sepsis.

Material and Methods:

A retrospective analysis of 100 patients with suspected infection, admitted in the medical intensive care unit (ICU) was conducted. Diagnosis of sepsis was made on the basis of the current surviving sepsis guidelines criteria.

Results:

Out of 100 patients, 70 were diagnosed to have sepsis, and overall ICU mortality was 22%. Overall, C-reactive protein (CRP) was positive in 98, procalcitonin in 75, and presepsin in 64 patients. For diagnosis of sepsis the sensitivity, specificity, and AUC, respectively, for CRP was 98.6%, 3.3%, and 0.725. For procalcitonin (>0.5 ng/ml) it was 87.1%, 53.3%, and 0.776, and for procalcitonin (>1 ng/ml) 70%, 70%, and 0.816, respectively. For presepsin sensitivity, specificity, and AUC, respectively, for diagnosis of sepsis was 77.1%, 66.7%, and 0.734. For ICU mortality, sensitivity and specificity for CRP was 95.5% and 1.3%, for procalcitonin (>0.5) 72.7% and 24.4.%, for procalcitonin (>1) 59.1% and 42.3%, and for presepsin 61.5% and 27.3%, respectively.

Conclusion:

Inflammatory markers may be raised in a large proportion of ICU patients, even in those without sepsis. Procalcitnonin and presepsin had similar efficacy in diagnosing sepsis. However, none of the three biomarkers studied were accurate in predicting ICU mortality.

Published: May 2023

Background: Although interest in qualitative olfactory dysfunction (OD), including parosmia and phantosmia, has been increasing since the COVID-19 pandemic, little is known about the clinical characteristics and associated factors of qualitative OD. Methods: Adult patients with subjective smell disturbance who underwent both the olfactory questionnaire and psychophysical olfactory function test were retrospectively enrolled. Demographic and clinical characteristics were analysed according to the presence or absence of parosmia or phantosmia. Results: Among a total of 753 patients with self-reported OD, 60 (8%) and 167 (22.2%) patients reported parosmia and phantosmia, respectively. Younger age and female sex were related to both parosmia and phantosmia. The frequency of parosmia was significantly higher in patients with post-viral OD (17.9%) than in patients with the sinonasal disease (5.5%), whereas that of phantosmia was not different according to aetiologies of OD. Patients with COVID-19 had significantly younger ages and higher TDI scores than those with other viral infections. Remarkably, patients with parosmia or phantosmia had significantly higher TDI scores than those without but experienced more disruption in daily life. In the multivariate analysis, younger age and higher TDI score were identified as independent factors associated with both parosmia and phantosmia, while the viral infection was associated with parosmia but not with phantosmia. Conclusions: Patients with OD who have parosmia or phantosmia have higher odour sensitivity than those who do not, but experience more deterioration in the quality of life. Viral infection is a risk factor for parosmia but not for phantosmia.

Published: May 2023

Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of two different interventions that promote physical activity in individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and determine the effect of relapse prevention. Methods: A sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial was conducted at a universally designed community-based exercise facility. Participants were individuals with traumatic SCI, >3 months post injury, levels C5 to T12, age ≥18 years (N = 79). After randomization, Bridge Program participants completed an 8-week personalized, less intense, exercise program informed by American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) guidelines and supported with hands-on peer mentoring, exercise of choice, and caregiver training. Structured Exercise participants completed an 8-week program in a group format based on ACSM guidelines. After intervention, participants were randomized to receive or not receive relapse prevention for 6 months. The time and intensity of physical activity and psychological change in depression, anxiety, self-efficacy, and function were assessed with self-reported measures. Results: Compared to baseline, physical activity increased post intervention for both the Bridge and Structured Exercise programs. Compared to baseline, participants in the Bridge Program recorded fewer anxiety symptoms. No significant changes were noted for either program in depressive symptoms, self-efficacy, or function. There was no difference in relapse prevention between the two groups at 6 months. Conclusions: The Bridge Program, a novel personalized exercise program with peer support, exercise of choice, and caregiver training, and a structured exercise program both improved self-reported physical activity, but the Bridge Program also reduced anxiety symptoms. This study provides important insight into the limitations of commonly used measures of physical activity and psychosocial domains in people with SCI.
