Authors: Luedke Lauren K. , Mohammed Hussni O. , Ducharme Norm G.
Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVE

To determine setting and temperature properties of diluted polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement in vitro to assess utility for vocal fold augmentation in horses.

SAMPLES

4 dilutions of PMMA equivalent to volumes of 15 mL, 20 mL, 25 mL, and 30 mL PMMA powder (PMMAp) in 10 mL solvent.

METHODS

For each volume PMMAp, setting times (tset), peak temperatures (Tmax), and times to peak temperature (tmax) were determined using a temperature data logger in a 4-mL volume of PMMA. Injectability was assessed in vitro by documenting the force required to inject 0.2 mL PMMA through an 18-gauge 3.5-inch spinal needle attached to a 6-mL syringe at 1-minute intervals. Working time (twork) was calculated from a linear regression of injectability.

RESULTS

Peak temperatures increased with increasing volume of PMMAp: 56 °C, 86 °C, 99 °C, and 101 °C. Times for tset, twork, and tmax were inversely proportional to PMMA concentrations, resulting in tset of 23, 21, 17, and 14 minutes; twork of 22.75, 12.25, 7, and 4 minutes; and tmax of 28, 24, 19, and 16 minutes, respectively, for 15, 20, 25, and 30 mL PMMAp. Pairwise comparisons for all analyses were significant apart from Tmax for 25 and 30 mL PMMAp (P = .96) and twork for 20 and 25 mL PMMAp (P = .06).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Decreasing the concentration of PMMA bone cement resulted in longer working times and setting times; however, peak temperatures did not differ between the 2 strongest concentrations. Further research is warranted to quantify diluted PMMA properties for in vivo use for vocal fold augmentation in horses.

Authors: Xue Xiaomin , Wei Feng , Yang Wenxin , Zhao Yijing
Published: September 2023

The teaching reform of environmental art design majors is integrated into the rural revitalization strategy, which can best reflect the contemporary characteristics of education and teaching reform. This paper firstly explores and analyzes the significance of education reform of environmental art design majors in colleges and universities under the strategy of rural revitalization and proposes three teaching mode reform measures in combination with the current teaching situation. Secondly, studying the scheduling system based on genetic algorithm which is widely used at present, combines the characteristics of randomness and ergodicity of a chaotic system. Finally, the population diversity, crossover operation and variation operation are improved, thus forming a scheduling algorithm based on a chaotic genetic algorithm, which enables the most reasonable allocation of the existing teaching resources of university environmental design majors. The results show that the maximum running time of the genetic algorithm is 153t/s, which is much larger than the maximum running time of the chaotic genetic algorithm 57t/s. The minimum running time of the chaotic genetic algorithm is 19t/s, which is 23.14% smaller than that of the genetic algorithm. The reform measures proposed in this paper for integrating rural revitalization into teaching provide the optimal and reasonable allocation of teaching resources for the major and employment opportunities for environmental art design students.
Numerical implementation of level set image recovery based on partial differential equation model
Authors: Liu Xiang
Published: September 2023

Image recovery is a class of ill-posed inverse problems, so image recovery has been a challenging and fundamental topic in image processing. In this paper, firstly, to recover blurred images with noise, an adaptive fully variable partial differential image recovery model is proposed based on the fully variable partial differential equation model and Gaussian thermal diffusion model, where the adaptiveness is achieved logarithmically by regularizing the edge detection operator. Secondly, a finite difference method, which covers the gradient and scatters operators in the partial differential equation, is applied to the problem of fixing the global range boundary conditions of the image. Finally, the gradient of the image is restored, and then the gradient domain of the image is solved to obtain the complete recovered image. The results show that in the evaluation of the image restoration effect aspect by two indexes, PSNR and SSIM, the value of the adaptive fully variable partial differential image restoration model increases from 28 to 32, and the value of SSIM increases from 0.70 to 0.88, which has good image restoration performance. The adaptive fully variable partial differential image restoration model proposed in this paper has the characteristics of good edge protection and fast convergence, which is of guiding significance for the numerical implementation of image restoration techniques.

Authors: Xie Hao , Li Yasha , Zhou Jiachang
Published: September 2023

This paper firstly constructs the microstructure of the ZnO grain boundary layer of a high voltage system fits: microstructure characteristics of the ZnO varistor and conductive mechanism of the ZnO varistor. The ZnO structure can be seen as an irregular three-dimensional mesh composed of ZnO grain-high resistance grain boundary layer-ZnO grain. Then the electric field distribution of the ZnO grain boundary layer is calculated by Poisson’s equation, and the relationship curve of the space charge distribution inside the ZnO grain boundary with time is further simulated. Finally, the ZnO grain boundary performance is tested based on the bipolar carrier transport model with a double Schottky barrier, and the results show that the negative charge density at the grain boundary interface gradually decreases from 5×1025m−3 to 4.2452×1025m−3 and the initial charge value in the grain boundary region is 0m−3, and the negative charge at the grain boundary interface gradually decreases, and the negative charge in the grain boundary region gradually increases. In this study, the internal space charge distribution, Schottky barrier height and grain boundary leakage current are systematically investigated, which provides important theoretical support for the in-depth research on the conductivity mechanism, aging mechanism and performance improvement related to ZnO varistors.
Research on the extraction method of traditional elements in environmental art space design based on intelligent algorithm
Authors: Liu Tao , Lin Shan , Song Zhilai
Published: September 2023

This paper builds a spatial design model based on the reconstruction of 3D visual spatial points in an indoor environment and combines the minimum Euclidean distance to calculate the vector relationship between spatial points and realize the corresponding spatial point matching. For the exploration of traditional elements in spatial design, an extraction method based on the improved cuckoo algorithm is proposed. By adding a dynamic inertia weight adjustment method, one inertia weight value is randomly selected from the Gaussian distribution each time to balance the algorithm’s local and global search. By extracting traditional elements, calligraphy is the most frequent in the home space, with 79.4% integration. The tea set is the most frequent traditional element in the dining space, with 84.53% integration. A couplet is the most frequent traditional element in the public open space, with 71.98% integration. The extraction based on intelligent algorithms can help designers better integrate traditional elements in the design of environmental spaces.

Authors: Yao Jiaodi
Published: September 2023

This paper proposes an evolutionary model of information dissemination based on information exposure states and the underlying topology of social networks. Based on the definition of similarity, the K-means method is used to cluster the categories of information based on the activation of information at the network vertices and to model the “category-category” interactions. The evolution of information dissemination is then explored, and the EGT model is fitted to obtain a gain matrix that reveals the interaction of information, and the quantitative evolution of information is then analyzed. Finally, the information dissemination media of Chinese language and culture education are explored, and the analysis of the dissemination of Chinese language and culture education under various media, comparing the feedback effects of traditional and modern media as representatives of Chinese language and culture classes. Among the feedback results of each medium, the traditional medium’s positive and active feedback indices ranged from 5 to 17, while the modern medium ranged from 12 to 27. The traditional media’s negative and passive feedback indices ranged from 2-3, while the modern media ranged from 3-4. In the field research on the informatization of the Chinese language and culture, the total score for the informatization of the Chinese language and culture curriculum in Yucai Middle School was 0.45, and the total score for Guangming Middle School was 0.65. Modern media can facilitate the spread of the Chinese language and culture to a certain extent.
Research on the modernization of the spirit of marathon sports culture based on information dissemination mechanism
Authors: Guo Luxia
Published: September 2023

This paper first explores the mechanism of marathon information culture dissemination by first calculating the time required for each layer of receivers to obtain the information and further obtaining the upper bound of the time required for the information to travel throughout the dissemination. The maximum allowable number of transmissions is obtained according to the protocol, and the lower bound of the propagation time is further obtained to find the time range of information propagation. Then, the structure of marathon sports culture is studied, and the marathon sports culture is divided into surface, middle and bottom layers, and the marathon spirit is discussed in depth. Finally, the communication effect of marathon sports culture under new media is analyzed in terms of the ways of communication and the comparison of new media and traditional media content. In the comparison between new media and traditional media, for the content of sports material culture in terms of sports architecture or sports sculpture and sports logo or clothing introduction, traditional media accounted for 11.9% and 9.8%, while new media were 3% and 4% more than traditional media. Among the topics and effects, the top three average reads were the topics of event information, registration and recruitment and brand promotion, with 490,963, 91,563 and 773,243 reads, respectively. The rise of new media has promoted the spread and development of marathon sports culture.

Authors: Bai Xue
Published: September 2023

This paper begins with the multi-level processing of instructional multi-source data using information fusion techniques, with varying degrees of abstraction of the raw data for each level of processing. The set of all possible outcomes that an instructional framework can recognize for a given instructional problem is identified through D-S evidence theory. Secondly, the m factors that affect the object of teaching evaluation are grouped into the set of factors affecting the evaluation by fuzzy evaluation method, and their factor set weight values are calculated. Finally, the teaching quality evaluation system was constructed based on the factor set weight values. The results show that the experimental obtained Kendall’s harmony coefficient reaches 0.9028, and the evaluation is reliable. The overall score rate in teaching and assessment evaluation is 0.71 to reach the expected value, which indicates that the teaching quality evaluation index system established this time has relatively good internal consistency. The evaluation index system constructed in this paper makes the classroom teaching evaluation highly operable, which can be accepted by students and teachers in the evaluation process and ensures the accuracy of the evaluation results.
Effectiveness of one-to-one feedback methods of teaching with proper metered-dose inhaler technique and correcting errors in chronic obstructive lung disease patients
Authors: Özkan Çiğdem Gamze , Kaşikçi Mağfiret
Published: September 2023

Objective

To determine the most common mistakes made during the use of a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), and the effect of the repeated trainings performed with demonstration method by providing one-to-one feedback on these mistakes.

Methods

This is a quasi-experimental study with a control group. A total of 100 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients (50 in the control group and 50 in the experimental group) were included in the research. “Patient Information Form (PIF)” (to determine the descriptive characteristics of patients) through the face-to-face interview method, using “MDI Skill Assessment Form” (MDISAF) (it is composed of 10 skill steps about the use of MDI) through observation method was used. Patients in both the groups were asked to use MDI and their abilities regarding use of MDI were assessed. Then in the intervention group, usage of MDI was explained by a nurse via demonstration and placebo MDI. Trainings were repeated on days 1,3, and 5 as from hospitalization of the patient. In the intervention group, three methods were used in this study: “face-to-face training,” “one-to-one,” and “with feedbacks and repeated.” Routine training regarding use of MDI was given by the nurses in the clinic to patients in the control group. The use of an MDI was assessed using MDISAF before training and after the training on the first, third and fifth days of hospitalization. On the seventh day, the last measurement was performed. Percentage, chi square, and mean were used to assess the data.

Results

After repetitive training with one-to-one feedback, several differences between the groups in favor of the experimental group were found in 7 of the 10 skill levels of the MDI. There was a significant difference after “training” between the groups in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth MDI steps in posttest measurement (P < 0.05). Evaluating the skills of the groups to use MDI from pretest to posttest, it was determined that while the intervention group made less mistakes in steps in which mistakes were made mostly, the control group continued to make mistakes.

Conclusions

Inhaler technique intervention with repeated, face to face, and one-to-one feedback trainings can significantly enhance the MDI techniques in COPD patients. The patients in the intervention group made less mistakes during MDI application and their application skills improved. It may be asserted that the training provided to the intervention group was effective for using the device correctly, while the training provided in the clinic for the control group was inadequate.

Objective

To observe whether the EarWell infant ear correction system makes any difference in terms of the treatment effect, duration, complication rate, and nursing care requirements in different types of infant auricle deformities.

Methods

A total of 93 infant patients with auricular deformity (age: <3 months of age) who were diagnosed and treated in Guangzhou Children and Women’s Medical Center from April 2018 to September 2020 were selected and treated with the EarWell infant ear correction system. We observed and recorded the effects of the EarWell infant ear correction system, the treatment duration, the number of rebound cases, and complications that are likely to occur during treatment, and noted the related factors causing complications and the relative requirements for nursing care.

Results

The Earwell infant ear correction system could effectively correct infant auricle deformities. Among the 93 cases, 90 cases had positive therapeutical outcome and the effective rate was 96.77%. The treatment duration for lop ear and protruding ear was longer than for other auricle deformities; the deformity recoil and the treatment compilation rates were much higher for these 2 deformity types, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

The treatment suggestion for the wearing duration of the EarWell infant ear correction system for lop ear and protruding ear is a prolonged duration compared with that for other infant auricle deformities. Further, the requirements for nursing care intensity and infant patient’s guardian’s nursing knowledge and skill are obviously increased for these 2 types of auricle deformities.

Published: September 2023

Objective

To determine and compare the abilities of ShotBlocker and cryotherapy for reducing pain and anxiety associated with subcutaneous injections. Subcutaneous injection has been used excessively for continuous, low-dose administration of drugs. Considering that these drugs may require prolonged administration, new devices and methods of injection are needed to decrease pain and anxiety associated with repeated drug injections.

Methods

A quasi-experimental study design on a purposive sample of 54 patients comprised of both sexes has been utilized. The subjects were divided into 2 equal groups (group 1, ShotBlocker; group 2, cryotherapy), and 3 tools were used, namely the socio-demographic and medical data sheet, Verbal Descriptor Scale for measuring pain, and Beck Anxiety Inventory.

Results

A significant reduction in pain and anxiety mean scores was observed after using cryotherapy and ShotBlocker techniques during subcutaneous injection. In addition, the ShotBlocker group exhibited significantly lower pain and anxiety mean scores compared with the cryotherapy group.

Conclusions

Our findings revealed that ShotBlocker and cryotherapy were effective non-pharmacological methods for reducing pain and anxiety levels associated with repeated subcutaneous injections.
Redescription and resurrection of the status of Joyeuxiella gervaisi (Setti, 1895) (Eucestoda, Dipylidiidae)5
Authors: Schuster R. K. , Mehmood N. , Varcasia A. , Veneziano V.
Published: September 2023

A study of the parasite fauna of feral cats in Dubai revealed the presence of two Joyeuxiella species, J. pasqualei (Diamare, 1893) and J. fuhrmanni (Baer, 1924). While the wide distribution of J. pasqualei includes countries of the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe, J. fuhrmanni was previously reported from felid hosts from southern Africa and has not been found in other cat parasite surveys in the Middle East, except from Dubai. The availability of historical references, however, raised doubts about the correctness of the allocation of the small Joyeuxiella sp. from Dubai cats to J. fuhrmanni and for this reason, a reexamination of stored material in the parasite collection of the Central Veterinary Research Laboratory in Dubai was carried out. A total of 40 specimens of the small Joyeuxiella sp. with a strobila length between 30 and 60 mm and consisting of 52 to 85 segments obtained from domestic cats and formerly allocated to J. fuhrmanni were studied. In complete specimens, 10 – 13 rows of rostellar hooks were counted. Mature segments were wider than long, round testes were concentrated posterior to coiled vasa deferentia and did not reach the anterior rim of the proglottids. Narrow cirri reached up to 520 μm in length. Gravid segments were longer than wide and egg capsules were restricted to the space between longitudinal excretory vessels. The examination revealed that the morphology of these cestodes matched the main characteristics of J. fuhrmanni. However, the little known cestode, J. gervaisi (Setti, 1895), that had been described from Genetta abyssinica imported from Eritrea 29 years earlier and was declared a species inquirenda met the same main morphological criteria. In this paper, the status of J. gervaisi as a valid species was resurrected and J. fuhrmanni was declared a junior synonym.

Authors: Gomes Martins Albano Joaquim , Sá Ana
Published: September 2023

The aim of the present study is the development of a model for the assessment of construction design solutions for outdoor public spaces, specifically for streets, squares, and parks, sustained by the analysis of the most important criteria in the urban space. Each of these criteria is divided into sub-criteria, that are very relevant in defining the rigour of the respective model, where materials and construction solutions play a very important role in the quality of a given outdoor public space and are decisive in obtaining a good classification. Through the approach of the assessment model, it is possible to define a matrix of relationships between the criteria and the sub-criteria of the analysis, allowing the perception of which sub-criteria have more influence in the assessment of the outdoor public space. The overall result of the assessment of a given outdoor public space is presented on a qualitative scale defined by quality levels, and improvements can be identified to move to a higher quality level.

This research aims to give empirical evidence of the impact of independent corporate governance organ's busyness on earnings quality and market mispricing. This research utilized a sample of non-financial firms. It investigated the effect of independent corporate governance organ's busyness on earnings management and earnings persistence using random-effect panel data regression. Furthermore, the Mishkin Test was used to investigate market mispricing. The results showed that the busyness of independent commissioners and independent audit committees had a positive effect on increasing the magnitude of earnings management and a negative impact on the persistence of the accrual component but did not cause market confusion in assessing the company's earnings components. Furthermore, it was discovered that the degree of independent director's business did not influence the magnitude of earnings management. Instead, it resulted in poor persistence of the accrual component and market uncertainty in assessing earnings components.

Hospital is a stressful experience for both children and their families. The main stressors could be in the form of separation from family, loss of control, bodily injury, and pain. In clinical practice, nursing assessments in identifying anxiety in children and parents were often challenging. Nurses tended to focus on the physical problem of children than on physicological respond. This research aimed to test the validity and reliability of parents' perception scale about hospitalization anxiety of children aged 1-6 years. The research used a descriptive-analytic research design with a cross-sectional study approach. The sample in this research were 34 parents taken by accidental sampling technique. The sample criteria were children undergoing hospitalization aged 1-6 years and being treated for more than one day. Data were collected using a questionnaire for parents' perceptions about the anxiety of hospitalization for children aged 1-6 years. This questionnaire consisted of 18 items ranging from never to often. The researcher used the Cronbach alpha test and Pearson product-moment to analyze the data. The results showed that 15 items were valid and reliable (r> 0.339) and Cronbach's Alpha value = 0.885). We could conclude that the scale was valid and reliable in measuring parents' perceptions about the anxiety of hospitalization for children aged 1-6 years. Further research was needed to test the effectiveness of this scale in a practical setting. Keywords: Children, hospitalization anxiety, reability and validity

This study investigated the biochemical parameters of two parasites, Trichomonasvaginalis and Toxoplasma gondii among females attending the gynaecological out patients clinics in MaternityRizgaryHospital, several health centers and some private clinics in Erbil-Iraq, from 16th July 2007 till 15th July 2008, by using different diagnostic methods. In addition, a comparative study to evaluate the biochemical changes due to tichomoniasis and toxoplasmosis. The serum samples were examined for some biochemical parameters like cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoproteins-cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoproteins-cholesterol (LDL-C), total proteins, albumin, globulin, with some elements such as calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, iron, copper and zinc. Infection with Trichomonasvaginalis had no significant effects on the studied biochemical parameters among non-pregnant women. Toxoplasma gondii causes a significant decrease in total protein level among non-pregnant women, while in pregnant women, reduced calcium level was observed

Introduction :Psoriasis is a chronic proliferative skin disorder with reported incidence of 1.5%-4.8% in different countries. Its etiology is still unknown, while genetic, metabolic and immunological mechanisms have been recommended as its causes. Literature suggests that lipid metabolism maybe play a significant a role in pathogenesis of psoriasis, and psoriatic patients manifest significant lipid abnormalities.Patients and Methods: The study comprised 53 psoriatic patients and 50 age and sex matched healthy subject. For all patients, clinical assessment by using Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score was performed, and fasting blood sampling was collected to assess the lipid profile.Results: Psoriatic patients, in comparison to healthy subjects, show a significant high serum level of total cholesterol (TCH) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and no significant differences in the serum level of triglyceride (TG), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL). Conclusions: Psoriatic patients were associated with lipid abnormalities. Atorvastatin shows a promise role in treatment of psoriasis. Furthermore, Atorvastatin demonstrate a beneficial therapeutic role in psoriasis by its hypolipemic efficacy. Further studies were recommended to assess the therapeutic efficacy of lipid lowering drugs in treatment of psoriasis

Background: Leptin, the product of the ob gene, is a hormone secreted by adipocytes. Animals with mutations in the ob gene are obese, leptin affects not only nutritional homeostasis but also reproductive events. A prospective study was done to investigate serum leptin ,estradiol and testosterone levels in 100 fertile healthy women with regular cycle aged(18-45) years with different weights and to see the influence of obesity on these parameters , the correlation of leptin with body mass index ,waist hip ratio , estradiol and testosterone level was determined. Methods fasting blood samples were obtained for the measurement of all studied parameters. serum concentrations of leptin was measured using ( ELISA) , estradiol and testosterone concentrations measured by ( ELFA ) technique (enzyme linked fluorescent assay)by mividus, the body-mass index was deﬁned as the weight in kilo-grams divided by the square of the height in meters. Results: according to the body mass index (BMI), the women were divided in to 3 groups: Group (1) normal weight(30 women) with BMI≤24.9 kgm2 , group( 2) Overweight(30 women) with BMI=25-29.9 kgm2 , group ( 3) obese (40 women) with BMI≥ 30 kgm2. The mean value ±SD of the weight in normal weight group was (53±5)kg , of overweight group was(65.8 ± 4.7) and of obese group was(91.6±16) so there was a highly significant difference between the 3 groups (p-value=0.000) , the Mean ± SD of waisthip ratio in normal, over weight and obese groups were (0.79 ± 0.06, 0.81 ± 0.03 and 0.84 ± 0.05) respectively and there was significant difference between the 3 groups(p-value=0.04), the leptin mean ± SD of normal ,overweight and obese groups were(12.4±6.7, 18.2±5.8 and 24.4±16.4) respectively, and p-value =0.000. Estradiol mean±SD of normal ,overweight and obese groups were (46.2±30.2 ,54.6±25 and79.9 ±52.7)respectively ,p-value =0.03,Testosterone mean±SD of normal, overweight and obese groups were (0.14±0.06, 0.16±0.07 and 0.2±0.09)respectively, p-value =0.00. Conclusions. Leptin correlate significantly with BMI, WH ratio and estradiol level, the women with higher BMI(obese) has higher level of leptin, estradiol and testosterone so the leptin clearly appears to be linked to the reproductive system .
