Bu makalede, mobilya endüstrisinin en önemli hammaddelerinden biri olan yonga levhalarda yaygın olarak kullanılan PVA (Polivinil Asetat) ve PÜ (Poliüretan) tutkallarına değişen oranlarında Lentinus edodes mantarı tarafından degrede edilen kayın lifi ilave edilerek hazırlanan örneklerin, su alma ve kalınlığına şişme değerlerinin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, üretilen test örneklerinde, kontrol grubu için yapışma yüzeylerine 150 g/m2, diğer örneklerde ise 150 g/m2 tutkala %2.5, %5 ve %7.5 oranlarında bozunmuş kayın lifi ilave edilmiştir. Yonga levha test numunelerinde higroskopik özelliklerin belirlenmesi amacı ile 2, 24, 48, 72, 96 ve 336 saat süreler için su alma (SA) ve kalınlığına şişme (KŞ) denemeleri yapılmıştır. Yapılan testler ve istatistik analizler sonucunda, PVA tutkalı ile muamele edilen örneklerin, PÜ tutkalı ile muamele edilenlere göre su alma değerlerinin yaklaşık %49 ve PVA tutkalının uygulandığı örneklerin kalınlık artış yüzdelerinin, PÜ ile işlem görenlerden ortalama %60 kadar daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Tutkala eklenen bozunmuş kayın lifi ilavesi PVA ile muamele edilen örneklerde su alma ve kalınlığına şişme sonuçları üzerinde istatistiki olarak önemli bir etki göstermezken, PÜ ile işlem görenlerde anlamlı farklılıklar oluşturmuştur. Ancak, test örneklerinin uzun süreli (96 saat ve üzeri) su ile muamele edilmesinde lif ilavesinin su alma ve kalınlık artımı üzerinde, her iki tutkal türünde de olumlu yönde etki ettiği söylenebilir. Çalışma kapsamında elde edilen verilere göre, yonga levhaların açık hava şartlarında ve rutubetli ortamlarda birbiri ile birleştirilerek kullanılması durumunda, yapıştırıcı olarak bozunmuş kayın lifleri eklenmiş PVA tutkalının tercih edilmesi önerilebilir.
Design of Data Collection and Analysis Method for a Pleasant and Safe User Experience of Personal Mobility Device

Published: October 2021

In recent years, the idea of personal mobility devices (PMD) has gained prominence globally for different contexts, for diverse types and extent of uses. The advantages of owning a PMD allows users to cover the short distance in between stops where they have access to long distance transportation, establishing a full end to end transport system for many. The rise in usage of PMDs also came along the rise in accidents. One of the reasons that could result in this phenomenon is the lack of calibration of PMD towards how users use it. Currently, most user experience (UX) methodologies are based on subjective questionnaires rather than by objective quantitative data. While there exists a few that studies wheelchair and electronic bicycles, UX concerning this specific device is a field not many studies have delved into. Therefore, in this project, we seek to propose a data-driven model to explore electronic scooter user’s riding profile based on psychophysiological data such as galvanic skin response (GSR) and kinematics data such as the speed and acceleration. Upon retrieving the stress status of the user when he or she is riding, the dataset undergoes a data analysis pipeline that cleans, process and analyse data with Random Forest machine learning algorithms. With the ability to create customised profiles, the model can be adopted to serve the needs of PMD sharing service stakeholders or PMD design companies to ensure good user experience for their customers in the future.
Smart Product-Service Systems: A Novel Transdisciplinary Sociotechnical Paradigm
Authors: Zheng Pai , Wang Zuoxu , Chen Chun-Hsien
Published: October 2021

The third-wave of IT competition have embraced a promising market of low cost, high performance smart, connected products (SCP). Owing to their unique capabilities, SCPs together with their generated smart services, as a solution bundle can fulfil the everchanging individual user’s needs. Meanwhile, manufacturers/service providers leverage massive user generated data and product sensed data via the Internet-of-Things (IoT) for evergreen design innovation. This emerging IT-driven transdisciplinary engineering paradigm is named Smart Product-Service Systems (Smart PSS), which is an ecosystem consisting of various stakeholders as the key players for open innovation (social aspect), intelligent systems as the infrastructure to enable smartness and connectedness (technical aspect), and digital servitization as the value proposition to make higher profits (business aspect). Though similar terminologies have been utilized to describe such paradigm, none of them emphasizes its transdisciplinary essence, as a sociotechnical system. Moreover, scarcely any work addresses its lifecycle perspectives for sustainability concerns. Aiming to fill these gaps, this research provides a fundamental basis of Smart PSS by summarizing typical works from technical, social, and business aspects, respectively. Furthermore, its lifecycle perspectives in a circular economy is depited to motivate more in-depth research in the near future.
Advances in Human-Automation Collaboration, Coordination and Dynamic Function Allocation
Authors: Caldwell Barrett S. , Nyre-Yu Megan , Hill Jordan R.
Published: October 2021

Effective integration of humans and automation in control systems engineering has been an ongoing effort since the original publication of McRuer’s descriptions of human operators in servomechanism systems in 1959. Over the past 60 years, increasing capabilities of automation and computer systems have resulted in changing considerations of function allocation and human-automation interaction since Fitts’ “Humans are better at / Machines are better at” descriptions of the early 1950s. The processes of distributed autonomy and dynamic function allocation in modern human-automation and human-robotic interactions benefit from increased computing capabilities, resulting in systems with potentially fluid (and sometimes conflicting) boundaries for human vs. automation control. Using examples from human and robotic spaceflight, robotics can demonstrate significant autonomy (automated “safe-moding” and restart by Mars rovers), and humans may have limited autonomy (when astronauts conducting extravehicular activity rely on and wait for ground controllers to create or modify procedures to complete required tasks). Proposed future advances in human-automation interaction and coordination include the development of “centaur” teams of humans interacting with sophisticated software and robotic agents as team members (rather than fixed allocations as human-controlled servos or automation-controlled autonomous systems). Approaches within the authors’ lab include qualitative research of process and cognitive task demands to create functional architecture for AI applications in cyber security. Another method uses agent-based modeling to incorporate individual thinking style and interpersonal interactions in task performance simulations, effectively creating more robust hybrid systems incorporating cognitive and social factors in complex settings.

Authors: Kądzielawa Damian , Skarka Wojciech
Published: October 2021

Technology of electroactive polymers which react by changing their geometric form under the influence of electrical voltage, has been developed for several decades. The main objective of the research carried out so far, was to develop a technology enabling the usage of such materials as an microscale valves activators. The developed solutions were dedicated mainly to the medical industry, in order to create very small applications, i.e. precisely dosing drugs. This article concerns the analysis carried out in the field of existing electroactive polymers. The conducted research focuses on the verification of their properties, in the context of the possibility to transfer and apply to the valves used in the household appliances. The detailed analysis will be conducted for confirmation, that current technology of electroactive polymers combined with a dedicated mechanical system of the prototype valve, will create favorable conditions for constructing a solution comparable with products present on the market. It will be crucial to confirm that the combination of material and mechanical aspects will ensure stable parameters of linear displacement, force, repeatability in the activation-deactivation cycle and number of cycles possible to reach. Chosen activator material must be examined to ensure smooth movement between the state of activation and precise return to the base shape. In addition, the analysis should indicate what is the environmental influence to the application, and how it will affect on the achievable parameters. The results of the research will allow to find an economically justified alternative to the currently used technology.

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION. Depression, anxiety, and stress are common problems among nurses.
OBJECTIVE. This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among nurses working in Iranian hospitals.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. Published studies on nurses working in Iranian hospitals were investigated in this meta-analysis. All national and international online databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scientific Information Database (SID), MagIran, and IranMedex, as well as Google Scholar, were searched using related keywords without any time limits until September 2017. The heterogeneity of studies was assessed using the I2 index. Data were analyzed in STATA version 11.1.
RESULTS. In 28 studies with a sample size of 6581 people, the prevalence of depression was 31% (n=2040) among Iranian nurses (31% in females and 28% in males) according to Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI); 30% (n=1974) (54% in females and 40% in males) according to the 21-Item Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21); and 9% according to the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). The prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe depression in nurses was 39%, 16%, and 20% according to the BDI; 8%, 24%, and 4% according to DASS-21; and 48%, 36%, and 16% according to GHQ-28, respectively. The prevalence of anxiety and stress was 85% and 67% in Beck’s inventory, 28% and 38% in DASS-21, and 46% and 49% in GHQ-28, respectively.
CONCLUSION. According to the BDI and DASS-21, about one-third of Iranian nurses have depression with a female predilection. Nurses play an essential role in improving the quality of treatment; therefore, health policymakers must pay attention to reducing depression among nurses.

Published: October 2021

Background: Acute Appendicitis is one of the most common acute surgical conditions of the abdomen and appendicular lump is formed if treatment is delayed. Appendicular mass is one of its early complications developing in   2-6% cases within48 hours of attack. The traditional treatment of appendicular lump is conservative followed by delayed appendectomy. During conservative treatment 10-20% is not resolved and leads to gangrene or perforation followed by localized abscess or generalized peritonitis requiring early surgical intervention.

Aim and Objective: To evaluate the outcome of early surgical exploration and its complications in respect to conservative management of appendicular lump.

Material and Methods: Total of 48 patients admitted with diagnosis of appendicular lump were included in our study. This prospective study was conducted in Department of General Surgery of Index Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Indore, M.P over period of 2 years [August 2019 to July 2021] in all age group and both sexes.

All cases were divided randomly into two groups. Group I, early surgical exploration and Group II, conservative approach with OCHSNER SHERREN REGIME followed by interval appendectomy after 6 weeks.

Results: Total 471 patients admitted to hospital with diagnosis of acute appendicitis, out of which total 48 patients were having Appendicular lump suggestive of incidence of 9.81%. Maximum patients were found in age group 21-30 years. Average duration of symptoms was 2 days. Two methods were adopted for the management of appendicular lump. The first group included 24 patients who were operated immediately after investigations and second group of 24 patients were managed conservatively followed by delayed appendectomy. In the first group mean hospitalization time was 4 days. Residual abscess, adhesive intestinal obstruction, failure of treatment and readmission were not found. In the group II, mean hospitalization time 10 days, more chances of residual abscess, adhesive intestinal obstruction, failure of treatment and readmissions were noted.

Conclusion: In our study, it can be concluded that early surgical exploration confirms diagnosis and cures the problem, reduce the cost of management, shortens the convalescence and hospital stay with reasonably satisfactory outcome.

Key-Words: Appendicular Lump, Ochsner-Sherren Regime Appendectomy.

The Maker’s Mark?: An Examination of an Embroidered Rebozo and its Potential Signature
Authors: Laughlin Eleanor
Published: October 2021

Mexican rebozos (scarves/shawls) range in material, design, and function from those worn by indigenous women made of maguey or cotton and used to carry children or heavy loads, to those made of silk that feature fancy dyes or embroidery, which serve as accessories for special events. Among the historic embroidered examples is a subtype called the “landscape” rebozo, which featured scenes of quintessentially Mexican locations or events stitched into the fabric of the scarf. Most rebozos, in the past as in the present, were made by anonymous artisans. However, one example bears a sign that may be a signature and merits further investigation.

In this paper, I examine an eighteenth-century landscape rebozo in the Philadelphia Museum’s collection. The scarf is a beautiful example of its type and period, featuring dyed ikat segments and embroidered figural vignettes that depict Mexican scenes with people riding in boats, eating, and dancing together. These pastoral pleasures are all shown in relative perspective and scale according the embroiderer’s ability, except for one enlarged anomaly: a dragonfly sewn to half-human scale along the border of the garment. Furthermore, the rebozo references the maker, the importation, and the sale of rebozos within its own design, creating a system of self-referentiality that already brings the viewer’s awareness to the creation of the scarf and its scenes, thereby facilitating a conceptual space for a signature in the reading of the visual narrative.

After reviewing signature precedents from the same time frame, I will examine potential meanings behind the symbol of the dragonfly and consider the possible functions for this enlarged anomalous feature in the Philadelphia Museum’s rebozo.

Temporality in Great Expectations and Mrs. Dalloway: A Comparative Study
Authors: Abu-Fares Ashraf
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this paper is to discuss temporality in Charles Dickens’s novel Great Expectations and Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. Temporality is an integral element in a literary text that greatly reflects the style an author adopts to represent the narrative framework and thematic concerns. However, there is a distinction in how traditional novelists and modern novelists deal with temporality. The events in Great Expectations are presented in a chronological order built on cause and effect. On the other hand, the narrative in Mrs. Dalloway is presented using the “stream of consciousness”; in the thoughts and feelings of the characters. Nonetheless, in Great Expectations, chronological order offers the plot unity and comprehension. It is also crucial in developing the theme of formation and development of the protagonist. In contrast, in Mrs. Dalloway, the experience of temporality is offered and shared by most characters. The reader is required to examine this experience to form a perception of the narrative structure and the themes of the novel. Therefore, this paper makes a comparative analysis between Great Expectations and Mrs. Dalloway to highlight the distinction between how traditional novels and modern novels deal with temporality to present the narrative and embody their authors’ concerns.
Orientalism on Trial: Rethinking The Post-colonial Project in The East
Authors: Bziker Ousama
Published: October 2021

This article explores the perplexities revolving in the vicinity of Orientalism. It tries to discern, dissect, and (re)view Orientalism and its role in shaping today’s world, more importantly, the binomial ambivalence of the West versus East connection. Said’s work, Orientalism, is going to be the locus of this article. In his book, the author tries to describe how the West perceives and represents the East. Through the author’s journey in the U.S., where he spent most of his life, he noticed that the West considers the East a one homogenous and static body. Edward Said’s stance on the separation of the world into two entities and the postcolonial project did not go unnoticed. In this article, the author’s work is analyzed in relation to his critics such as Ahmed Aijaz, Bernard Lewis, Samuel Huntington, and others.

La maternidad subrogada, conocida en el lenguaje popular como el alquiler de vientres se ha convertido en los últimos años en una posibilidad para ejercer el derecho de paternidad por parte de algunas personas. En sí misma no encierra una idea desventajosa, pero cuando a esto se suman intereses económicos, experimentos científicos e intereses personales, es necesaria la intervención del Estado para legislar con respecto a las consecuencias que se derivan de la acción sin límites de esta potestad. Desde la década de los 70’s, países desarrollados han divulgado leyes, decretos y normas para regular la reproducción asistida; mientras que países en vía de desarrollo no tienen legislaciones específicas al respecto, y en el caso particular de Colombia los proyectos de ley propuestos poco tiempo después son retirados debido a la falta de conocimiento y esmero.

Introducción: La fibromialgia es una enfermedad con diversas complicaciones que afectan el estado nutricio. Niveles composición corporal alterados, (exceso de adiposidad o sarcopenia) son condicionantes para el control y aparición de manifestaciones clínicas. Objetivo: Describir la asociación de la composición corporal y la sintomatología de fibromialgia. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, en el que participaron 27 mujeres con fibromialgia de Aguascalientes, México. Se realizó el cuestionario sobre los efectos de la fibromialgia (FIQ) para recolectar datos de sintomatología; para la composición corporal se utilizó una báscula de control corporal OMRON HBF-514C analizando peso, masa grasa, masa muscular y grasa visceral. Resultados: Con un IMC de 28.9±5.4. Se clasificó en desnutrición, normopeso, sobrepeso y obesidad (3.7%, 25.9%, 29.6% y 40.7% respectivamente,) El 66.7% de las pacientes presentaron porcentaje muy elevado de grasa, el 22.9% obtuvo porcentaje elevado y solo el 11.1% presento un porcentaje normal para su edad. No hubo diferencias entre un porcentaje de grasa normal, elevado y muy elevado, ni en el IMC en relación con el puntaje total del FIQ. La relación entre la composición corporal y las variables clínicas obtenidas en el FIQ demostraron que no hay relación significativa. Conclusiones: No hubo relación significativa entre la composición corporal y la sintomatología de fibromialgia, sin embargo, existe evidencia que demuestra lo contrario. La prevalencia de obesidad y sobrepeso es alta en pacientes con fibromialgia, es importante continuar estudios para establecer la relación que existe entre estas condiciones, generando a futuro un adecuado tratamiento integral.

Introducción: Se estima que hay más de 50 millones de personas que presentan algún trastorno neurocognitivo alrededor del mundo. Actualmente, no se dispone de un tratamiento que pueda curar o revertir la evolución progresiva de sus síntomas psicológicos y de comportamiento. Por lo que es de vital importancia la aplicación de una intervención que posibilite un estado de alteración leve o moderado y que prevenga la evolución de la enfermedad. Objetivo: Implementación de un programa de estimulación multisensorial en personas mayores con trastorno neurocognitivo menor y mayor, para la prevención y manejo de alteraciones conductuales, y reducción del grado de distrés experimentado por el cuidador primario. Metodología: Estudio cuasi-experimental, longitudinal, analítico comparativo, y retrospectivo durante el periodo julio-diciembre de 2019. Incluyó un total de 20 personas mayores de 65 años con diagnóstico de trastorno neurocognitivo. Se utilizaron para la evaluación: Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) y el Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), además se creó un “Perfil sensorial” a cada usuario. La estimulación multisensorial se acompañó de ejercicio físico y actividades motrices. Resultados: Se encontró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre la primera y segunda evaluación. En las alteraciones conductuales de los usuarios con un valor de z= -3.7, (p= 0.00) y referente al distrés del cuidador con un valor de z= -2.5, (p= 0.01). Conclusión: Se mostró un efecto positivo sobre la situación clínica general que experimentaba el usuario; disminuyendo las alteraciones conductuales y el distrés del cuidador primario; así como facilitando la intervención fisioterapéutica.

The article is devoted to the problem of water shortage in Ukraine. Its impact on the solution of economic, social and humanitarian tasks of the state development has been identified. Attention is focused on water use and water conservation as one of the very important areas of development, including national security in the conditions of germinative principles formation of national economy. Based on the analysis of literature sources and existing experience, reasonable measures to improve water supply to consumers and prevent negative phenomena that began to progress due to changes in global climatic conditions and man-made factors are offered. It is established that in Ukraine, and in Ternopil region in particular, it is not the first time the problem of water shortage is faced. In addition, it has been found that more than 40 countries in the world now suffer from absolute water shortages, and one-fifth drink polluted water. Although most of our planet is occupied by water, which is in constant motion – the great cycle of matter on Earth and partially change with the change of the environment. The article emphasizes that our lives are affected not only by man-made factors, but also by the climate, which is one of the most important natural phenomena. The appearance of large cities, artificial reservoirs, large-scale reclamation works, laying canals, draining swamps and lakes, the transfer of rivers result in serious environmental consequences. It is the water resources in the regions that are the buffer zone providing a mild climate and reducing the negative impact. Also, the thesis that due to scientific, ecological and organizational-economic mechanisms it is possible to ensure effective use of this scarce product in society and stable functioning of the national economy of Ukraine, which can make it safe and competitive in the EU, is substantiated. The study has been carried out in a transformational, post-totalitarian society.

Published: October 2021

La seguridad del paciente debe ser una prioridad en la atención de servicios de salud; mejorar las prácticas seguras en la identificación correcta del paciente en la toma de laboratorios, hace parte de la promoción del saber de la seguridad del paciente. Con el objetivo de determinar el rol de enfermería en este proceso se realizó una investigación documental con enfoque cualitativo, utilizando matrices en Excel de registro y análisis, como instrumentos. Se escogieron 30 artículos que cumplieron con los criterios de inserción, de los cuales, nueve se referían a errores de laboratorio, 14 a estrategias para minimizar o detectar errores y siete artículos sobre cómo identificar las muestras de laboratorio del paciente. Se clasificaron en seis categorías: Cultura de seguridad del paciente; fallas, errores y eventos adversos; sistemas de Identificación; reportes; costos; guías, manuales y protocolos. Se concluye que, la heterogeneidad en la forma de reportar los errores y la poca información del rol que desempeña el enfermero en la identificación del paciente dificulta el análisis de la literatura sobre este aspecto. Por ende, la identificación debe desarrollarse acorde con los lineamientos nacionales y el enfermero debe estar atento al desempeño de medidas y protocolos. El éxito de esta actividad se basa en la gestión, responsabilidad y cumplimiento de la normatividad e implementación de la cultura de seguridad del paciente.

Наведено результати 72-річних досліджень впливу рубок догляду різної інтенсивності на динаміку таксаційних показників штучних дубових насаджень на стаціонарному багатоваріантному дослідному об’єкті в умовах свіжої кленово-липової діброви ДП «Тростянецьке ЛГ». Установлено, що в цих умовах сформовані мішані за складом високопродуктивні дубові насадження повнотою 0,7 і вище, які ростуть за Іа класом бонітету. Проаналізовано товарно-сортиментну структуру та санітарний стан насаджень на чотирьох секціях: контроль (без зрідження), низька, помірна та висока інтенсивність зрідження. Виявлено, що насадження, в яких проводили рубки догляду низької та високої інтенсивності зрідження, характеризуються вищими лісівничо-таксаційними показниками, зокрема продуктивністю й запасом ділової деревини, та кращими санітарним станом і товарно-сортиментною структурою, ніж насадження на контролі. З метою збільшення періоду повторюваності рубок догляду, підвищення стійкості, товарності та якості мішаних за складом дубових насаджень рекомендовано проведення в них прочищень інтенсивністю 10–35 %, однієї прохідної рубки високої або дуже високої інтенсивності (30–45 %) та своєчасних вибіркових санітарних рубок.

Подано узагальнені результати дослідів із укорінення вертикальних відсадків фундука (Corylus maxima Mill.) із використанням різних технологічних підходів, проведених у дендрологічному парку ХНАУ ім. В. В. Докучаєва. Метою досліджень було оцінювання придатності та перспективності застосування пластикової та металевої сіток під час укорінення вертикальних відсадків різних сортів фундука. Результати проведених досліджень свідчать, що використання дроту під час вирощування відсадків фундука виявилося ефективнішим, ніж сітки. Оцінено здатність до утворення паростків 11 сортів фундука. Кущі сортів фундука української селекції в богарних умовах без застосування стимуляторів росту рослин спроможні за два вегетаційні періоди формувати від 16 до 90 шт. порослевих пагонів залежно від сорту (у середньому 55 шт.). Кількість відсадків із середньо і добре розвиненими кореневими системами становить від 16 до 70 шт. з однієї рослини (у середньому 39 шт.). Доведено можливість застосування під час вирощування вертикальних відсадків фундука металевої та пластикової сіток.
