Authors: DONG Y , CAI C , LIU M , LIU L , ZHOU F
Published: October 2024

This study aims to analyze the improvement and prognosis of anxiety and depression in patients with knee osteoarthritis after total knee arthroplasty. A retrospective questionnaire survey was conducted on 180 patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent total knee arthroplasty. The questionnaire consisted of a general information questionnaire, the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) for anxiety, the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) for depression, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Pittsburgh sleep quality Index (PSQI), and the American Knee Society Scores (AKSS). The same questionnaires were administered preoperatively and at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively, and the results were statistically analyzed. The prevalence of anxiety in preoperative knee osteoarthritis patients was 29.2% and the prevalence of depression was 37.5%. At 3, 6, and 12 months after total knee arthroplasty, anxiety and depression, pain levels, sleep disturbances, and functional status of the knee were significantly improved in patients with knee osteoarthritis compared with the preoperative period (all P<0.05). Patients with knee osteoarthritis have significant anxiety and depression before surgery, and total knee arthroplasty can significantly improve their anxiety, depression and prognosis, and should be performed as early as possible in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Authors: DE SCHEPPER T , BATSELIER J , HOLLEVOET N
Published: October 2024

Background and research aims: Scapholunate interosseous ligament rupture can cause wrist issues like pain, strength loss, and cartilage degeneration. While various surgical treatments exist, it’s unclear which method is optimal. This study aims to determine the superior treatment approach for scapholunate dissociation.

Methods: In Pubmed, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science was searched for articles reporting results of surgical repair of scapholunate dissociation. Additional inclusion criteria were English- and Dutch-language articles published between January 2000 and December 2022 with at least 8 patients and at least 1 year of follow-up.

Results: Seventeen articles were included, 9 covered tenodesis repair, 2 focused on capsulodesis, 3 on direct scapholunate ligament repair using bone anchors, and 3 on a combination of tenodesis and capsulodesis. No difference could be found between the types of surgical techniques in wrist mobility and grip strength. The Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score, Visual Analogue Scale for pain and Mayo wrist scores showed no clinically relevant difference. With all methods, normal radiological values were obtained after surgery. The mean scapholunate angle was less than 60° and the scapholunate gap less than 3 mm. However, at longer follow-up an increase in this angle and gap was seen again.

Discussion: This review did not allow to conclude that one technique was better than another to treat scapholunate dissociation because of poor quality of the included studies. Pre- and postoperative values were not always reported, there were insufficient comparative studies, and randomized prospective studies were missing.

The Ongoing Religious Turmoil in Pakistani Society and Their Resolution: A perspective in the Context of the Islamic Covenant in Kashmir
Authors: Zafar Ahmad Khan  , Dr. Sajid Mahmood
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In the Islamic rule of Kashmir (1339-1819), a series of religious disturbances unfolded, with the chain continuing unabated. The majority of the Chak Sultans followed the Shia sect. During this era, the promotion and propagation of the Shia religion took place in Kashmir, and various incidents of religious upheaval occurred under the rule of the authorities. In Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin's era, Chak rulers dominated Kashmir, and although Chak Khanadan flourished during his reign, Sultan dealt with their destructive activities wisely. Not only did he propose strict measures to control and prevent them, but he also took other effective actions. Firstly, he established strict supervision over them. Secondly, he divided them and settled them in various places. Thirdly, he provided them with jobs, employment, and opportunities for work so that they could turn away from destructive activities. He not only ordered the execution of the saboteurs but also implemented special measures for their families, sparing them from mistreatment. Instead, he established a special bond for their livelihoods. Emperor Akbar, the Mughal ruler, managed Kashmir by offering equal access to religious groups in his court. He controlled them through rewards and incentives, maintaining control over the region.
Imam Al-Shafi’i: The Founder of Islamic Law
Authors: Shaista Jabeen
Published: October 2024

Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Idrees Al-shafi'i is a theologian and renowned Islamic Scholar, who was the first contributor of the principles of Islamic Jurisprudence. He was a famous theologian and it was not his only forte, he also lectured on Poetry, Linguistics and Genealogy as well. His students cane from a varied array of disciplines.  Among the four schools of thought of Muslims, Shafi'i is the Imam and founder of his school of thought. He was one of the four great Imams whose legacy on juridical matters and teachings eventually led to the formation of Shafi School of law.   He is also the author of several prominent works in the field. Imam Shafi’I wrote many books and according to some narrations, the number is around 123. One of his famous books is Al-Risala. This is a book of his verdict’s specific issues, rather it was a book settling the principles of Islamic jurisprudence upon which every school of thoughts agree. He was one of the first people in the history of Islam who developed this branch of the religion. Another book comprising his rulings called Al-Umm has also become widely popular. Just as his book Al-Risala has the status of the first book and the primary source in the principles of Jurisprudence, like that his book Al-Umm has the status of the primary source in the field of Jurisprudence.  The Shafi’i school of Jurisprudence is based on these books. The complete Jurisprudence has been compiled on the basis of these books. Imam Shafi’i write these books in his last year’s, in the early 3rd Century, when he was living in Egypt.  In Egypt he not only rearranged Al-Risala, but also revised most of the issues of his Jurisprudence and compiled a collection of them in the form of Kitab Al-Umm. This book was dictated by him to his students and it is through them that it is available today. The four volume book Al-Umm also discussed a special chapter of Jurisprudence, International Islamic Law of War. That’s why it is also used in the formulation of international law. In the Risala which laid down the basis for various legal doctrines, al-Shafi’i established the overriding authority, based only to the Quran and the Sunnah or examples of the Holy Prophet PBUH as transmitted in the traditions. Shafi'i elaborated a system of positive law and a rudimentary legal theory that attracted a number of scholars.  His two chief treatises that survived are al-Umm, a collection mainly concerned with positive law and disagreements among the early jurists, and al-Risala, a work on legal theory with particular emphasis on Prophetic Traditions, as a binding source of law. He set a new road towards Islamic Law through these two precious books. His contribution towards Islamic law is able to be discussed and remembered.  The article will deal with the contributions of Al- shafi’i in Islamic Law in the light and approach of Al-Umm and Al-Risala.

Published: October 2024

A primary objective of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-9) is providing quality, affordable, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, for every part of the global community by 2030. This is also a fundamental principle in the New Urban Agenda by the UN-Habitat. Studies have shown lack of adequate and affordable housing in many African cities, evident in slums such as Kyelitsha in Cape Town, Makoko in Lagos, and Kibera in Nairobi which house millions of urban dwellers. In South Africa, Section 26 of the constitution establishes the citizens' right to have access to adequate housing as incontrovertible. In order to achieve this, the South African government put in place several policies to ensure the attainment of the right. However, scholars acknowledge the poor rate of housing delivery by the government and view it as a symptom of an inadequate response to urban populism and a lack of leadership in the housing sector. This paper examines how leadership failures have impeded housing policy and practice implementation in South Africa. The study employs a systematic literature review and case studies in showing how lack of leadership affects the attainment of adequate housing provision. The paper proposes a leadership framework for sustainable housing provision and good governance in the housing sector.

educação para a democracia
Authors: De Carvalho Letícia Queiroz , Coêlho Luiz de Souza Porto
Published: October 2024

O ensino de humanidades é alvo constante de ataques que questionam sua utilidade e seu valor prático. Esses ataques desconsideram que o espaço escolar e o próprio ensino não devem servir apenas como espaços de aprendizagem técnica, com formação de mão-de-obra para atender às demandas do capital. Tanto a educação formal quanto o ensino devem estar voltados para a formação integral dos sujeitos. E isso implica formar cidadãos completos e educá-los para a Democracia. Neste artigo, faremos um panorama dos ataques ao ensino de humanidades, seguido de uma discussão sobre a importância das humanidades para a consolidação da Democracia. Em seguida serão discutidas possibilidades de intersecção entre Literatura de Testemunho e Ensino de História, sob a perspectiva do conceito de Grande Tempo proposto por Bakhtin, para uma formação integral dos estudantes e para o fortalecimento dos valores democráticos.
A tensão entre Currículo e Inovação Pedagógica
Authors: Vaz Fernandes Jesus Maria
Published: October 2024

A partir da experiência, desde 2003, da coexistência de duas linhas de pesquisa, uma em Currículo e outra em Inovação Pedagógica, de um Centro de Investigação em Educação, conducentes a dois Doutoramentos com especialidades distintas, o artigo pretende compreender as tensões entre ambas, numa perspectiva de relação de poder, desde a afirmação do Currículo no despontar da modernidade, até ao declínio do Currículo tecnológico, por via das teorias críticas, e a emergência da Inovação Pedagógica, no concreto e no vivido, levando à extinção dos Doutoramentos existentes para dar lugar a um único, designado de “Currículo e Inovação Pedagógica”. Num tempo de transição paradigmática da nossa contemporaneidade, marcada pela complexidade e pela relativização, o artigo reflete sobre a necessidade de diálogo entre estas duas forças e as vantagens de uma complementaridade em tensão das abordagens macro e micro na investigação em Educação, dada a sua natureza irremediavelmente complexa.

Para António Nóvoa, a inovação educacional é um movimento que emerge de dentro do fazer pedagógico, mas no decorrer dos anos, assume uma nova conotação que nada contribui para a compreensão e fortalecimento da educação como um bem público. Ressalta que o grande desafio da educação continua sendo tornar a cidadania e a democracia presenças constantes no contexto escolar. Para tanto, insiste que é preciso apostar nas iniciativas dos professores como importantes potencializadores para a transformação da educação.
Single rib fracture. What to expect regarding the duration of pain-related disability? A retrospective observational study and review of literature
Authors: Nageeb Mahmoud Ahmed , Blakely Summre , Wertz Jeffrey , Marie Baro Susan , Horwitz Daniel S.
Published: October 2024

Background: Pain associated with rib fractures can last particularly long. While it is commonly advised in the outpatient setting to anticipate rib fracture pain to improve relatively within a few weeks, there is no evidence to support this statement. The aim of this study was to examine the duration of pain-related disability following single rib fractures based on the objective clinical records.

Methods: This study retrospectively reviews the clinical inpatient and outpatient records of 37 patients with single rib fractures treated conservatively at our multi-hospital healthcare system from January to December 2022. The duration of pain-related disability was deduced based on several criteria documented in the patients' clinical records. Univariate and multivariate analyses of risk factors (patient age, sex, injury severity score, smoking status, fractured rib, and side) were performed to find a potential correlation with the time to pain improvement.

Results: In this study, the clinical data of 22 males and 15 females with a single rib fracture and a mean age of 54.4 years (range 18.3–81.5 years) were assessed. According to the available clinical records, the mean duration of pain-related disability was 3.12 weeks (range 4–54 days). Analysis of risk factors showed a significant correlation between duration of pain and increased injury severity scores.

Conclusion: While prolonged chest pain is common with rib fractures, a patient with a single rib fracture may be advised that their chest pain and associated disability would significantly improve within an average of 3–4 weeks. The severity of associated injuries was associated with a longer time to pain improvement.
Influence of Organizational Market Culture on Change Management in Kenyan Social Enterprises
Authors:   The Management University of Africa, Mtana Susan Anzazi
Published: October 2024

Firms ought to continuously adapt and modify their operations to fit the changing circumstances in the fiercely competitive and dynamic business environment. This suggests that businesses must incur substantial costs to carry out a variety of changes that will enable them to operate in the changing environment. Adjustments play an important part in defining firm competitiveness in the modern economic environment; however, many firms struggle to properly manage innovations, ensure long-term development, and motivate employees to accept change. This study explored the influence of organizational market culture on change management in social enterprises in Kenya. The study employed the Competing Values Culture theory to assess the company's culture. Using a descriptive design, the study targeted all 129 employees of Kidogo Early Years Company Limited, from top management to departmental level. Data collection involved questionnaire surveys for primary data. Analysis of quantitative data was by Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 29. The regression analysis findings revealed that organizational market culture (β = 0.310, p = 0.012) had significant positive influence on change management. The study concludes that organizations that are goal-oriented and market-driven are more adaptable to external pressures and are better positioned to manage change effectively. In view of the findings, the study recommends that for organizations with a market culture, it is crucial to embed a results-oriented approach that aligns change management with organizational goals and objectives. Practices such as setting clear performance targets, encouraging a competitive spirit, and focusing on market-driven strategies should be incorporated into daily operations.

Published: October 2024

Mobile phone recognition consists of trying to identify the mobile phone brand or model, which is very important in forensic analysis. In this paper, we exploit the audio recordings to realize this task. Audio data conveys many information, one of them is related to the source of records, i.e., is a specific audio was captured by a given mobile phone. In order to separate between this particular information and the rest of audio content, we introduce the I-vector technique. Additionally, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Within-Class Covariance Normalization (WCCN) methods were used in different ways to compensate the speaker and channel variability. We evaluate the performance of our proposed system by correct rate recognition based on Gaussian Probabilistic Linear Discriminant Analysis (GPLDA) and Cosine Similarity Score (CSS) methods. To train the mobile phone models and do tests, two datasets were prepared: the public MOBIPHONE database and a novel local database. Experiments done with different configurations demonstrate the effectiveness of I-vectors models with the combination of LDA – WCCN compensation techniques and CSS as a similarity measurement method. A correct recognition rates of 97.23 %, 98.91 %, and 99.45 % were obtained for MOBIPHONE, the local Same Environment (SE) and Different Environment (DE) databases, respectively.
Enhancing quadrotor robustness control using image-based visual servoing (IBVS) with fuzzy logic
Authors: Labed Mahdi , Mechgoug Raihane , Benabdi Soufiane
Published: October 2024

Visual servoing is a commonly employed approach in robotics and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that facilitates accurate object positioning and movement control by utilizing visual feedback. As quadrotors gain popularity, more control methods have been developed. This article presents a method for enhancing quadrotor robustness control using image-based visual servoing (IBVS) with fuzzy logic. Unlike traditional visual servoing, which relies on a fixed gain and often encounters challenges with velocity convergence and maintaining the object in the field of view, this method is designed to enhance the visual servo control of quadrotors by dynamically adjusting the gain of the IBVS system through a fuzzy logic controller. This controller adaptively adjusts the servo gain in response to feature errors and the depth of the object's feature points. MATLAB simulations clearly demonstrate the superior performance of this fuzzy logic integrated method compared to classical approaches, showcasing enhanced control capabilities in challenging environments.

Authors: Demirkol Muhammed Emin , Afşin Emine , Balcı Mehmet
Published: October 2024

Aim: COVID-19 is a lethal disease for which there is still no specific treatment. The study aims to retrospectively investigate the effect of adding lopinavir/ritonavir to the treatment of patients using favipiravir (in the ward or intensive care unit) on mortality.
Methods: This study was conducted in 181 Rt-PCR(+) adult patients with severe and critical COVID-19. Demographic and laboratory data, antiviral agents used in treatment (with or without lopinavir-ritonavir), presence of intubation, and clinical outcome were recorded. The patients were categorized into Group 1 (not receiving lopinavir-ritonavir), Group 2 (administered lopinavir-ritonavir in ward), and Group 3 (administered lopinavir-ritonavir in the intensive care unit).
Results: The lowest mortality rate was found with Group 2 (21.4%) while this rate was 77.9% for Group 3 and 42.3% for Group 1 (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in length of hospital stay among groups (p>0.05). While 35.2% (25 patients) of Group 1 needed intubation, this rate was 21.4% (9 patients) in Group 2 (p<0.001).
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that lopinavir / ritonavir treatment reduced mortality and the need for intubation when initiated before the critical pneumonia phase. Lopinavir/ritonavir may be useful in the treatment of COVID-19, especially as part of the combination regimen.

Effect of two oxygen-inhibiting agents on the surface microhardness of giomer restorative materials
Authors: De La Cruz Diana J , Cisneros-del Águila Melvin
Published: October 2024

Giomers are bioactive hybrid restorative materials consisting of composite resin and glass ionomer filler pre-reacted on the surface, which maintain acceptable clinical qualities over time. One of the main factors that explains this is the surface hardness that is achieved by inhibiting the oxygen layer. Aim: To compare the effect of blue and conventional Mylar strips used as oxygen inhibiting agents on the surface microhardness of giomer restorative materials. Materials and Method: A total 96 giomer specimens were prepared in disc-shaped molds 2 mm tall x 5 mm in diameter (ISO 4049: 2019-05). The specimens were grouped according to type of giomer: Beautifil II (BII) or Beautifil II LS (BIILS), and according to the type of Mylar strip: conventional, blue, or control group without strip. They were subsequently subjected to the Knoop (KHN) microhardness test. The database was analyzed with Stata SE v18 statistical software, and two-way ANOVA was performed. Results: Interaction was found between the type of giomer and Mylar strip (p=0.039). Significant differences were found between surface microhardness values according to the type of giomer (0.001) and the type of Mylar strip (0.001). Beautifil II LS presented significant differences between conventional Mylar strip vs. without Mylar strip (43.58 ± 1.65 vs. 40.44 ± 2.12) and between blue Mylar strip and without Mylar strip (44.69 ± 1.75 vs. 40.44 ± 2.12). In the Bonferroni Post hoc test, a significant difference was found between Conventional Mylar Strip and without Mylar Strip (p=0.001) and Blue Mylar Strip and without Mylar Strip (p=0.001). Conclusion: The use of blue and conventional Mylar strips inhibits the oxygen layer on the Beautifil II and Beautifil II LS giomers, endowing them with high values of surface microhardness.

Observou-se que os idosos violentados, em sua maioria, tem o seguinte perfil: gênero feminino, estado civil: casadas, sendo algum membro familiar o principal agressor. Através da assistência prestada pelos profissionais, pode-se: identificar as agressões, realizar o acolhimento à vítima e notificar. No entanto o enfermeiro (a) encontra dificuldades para realizar as notificações. Conclui-se que a atuação do enfermeiro na atenção primária exige atenção especializada e um compromisso ético com a saúde e o bem-estar da população vulnerável. Os achados desta revisão integrativa destacam a necessidade de estratégias de intervenção que garantam o acesso a cuidados para os idosos nessa situação e apontam para a urgência de mais pesquisas que explorem as melhores práticas e abordagens nesse contexto desafiador.

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar se a dualidade do CEO está associada com níveis menores de compliance, e se a presença de auditoria BIG4 modera essa relação nas empresas listadas na Bolsa de Valores (B3). Este estudo é pautado na Instrução CVM 586, divulgada em 2017 com efeitos a partir de 2018, que instituiu novidades sobre disclosure de compliance no Brasil. Desse modo, as hipóteses levantadas partem do pressuposto de que a dualidade do CEO pode impactar negativamente nos níveis de compliance das firmas brasileiras. Nesse sentido, foi possível identificar a influência dessa nova regulamentação no processo de compliance no país e suas associações com a relação entre gestores e presidentes de conselho de administração brasileiros. Extraiu-se dados do Formulário de Referência de 205 empresas, referentes ao CEO, ao Conselho de administração, Auditoria Big4 e compliance. Os testes utilizados foram: teste de média, regressão probit e análise de efeito marginal, com dados em cross-section.  Evidências sugerem que as empresas que possuem CEOs que não são presidentes do conselho possuem, na média, maior nível de compliance. Achados adicionais apontam que empresas auditadas por big4 apresentam redução atenuada de compliance quando o CEO é presidente do conselho.

Published: October 2024

Globally, sepsis is the primary cause of death for children. While research conducted on adults has a significant impact on the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis in newborns and young children, there are significant factors that are pertinent to pediatrics as well. This prospective case-control study was conducted during the period from August 2020 to October 2022 after approval by the institutional ethical committee. The study included 48 critically ill children admitted at the Pediatric intensive care unit and 30 apparently healthy children as a control group. Laboratory investigations including complete blood picture, C-reactive protein (CRP), blood culture and sensitivity and plasma level of cluster of differentiation 64 (CD64) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were investigated for all participants. A daily follow up for the signs of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or sepsis was done, and the patients were divided into SIRS and non-SIRS subgroups then patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of severe sepsis. A follow up CD64 and MPO sample were withdrawn from them to assess their prognostic value. SIRS was reported in 39.58 % of patients while severe sepsis was reported in 20.8%. CD64 and MPO were significantly higher in cases than controls (p= 0.003, p<0.001, respectively) and, in patients with SIRs and severe sepsis CD64 was 1559.00± 367.09 pg/ml and 1547.9 4± 436.14 pg/ml, respectively. Also, MPO was significantly higher in patients with SIRS (113.58± 25.19 mU/ml) and severe sepsis (111.70± 26.50 mU/ml). CD64 and MPO significantly increased after development of sepsis in admitted patients. ROC was significantly higher for CD64 and MPO at admission than that for CRP at admission (p=0.123, p=0.014, respectively). In conclusion, plasma level of CD64 and MPO in peripheral blood can be considered an early sensitive marker for the detection and follow up of pediatric sepsis.
Genetic and immunological implications in fibromyalgia: A Literature Review
Authors:   General Medicine Practice Program, Batterjee Medical College, Jeddah 21442, Saudi Arabia., Khan Sariya
Published: October 2024

Fibromyalgia (FM), a musculoskeletal condition characterized by widespread pain and numerous associated symptoms, is a complex disorder with uncertain etiology and pathogenesis. Most of the patients suffering from this syndrome are undiagnosed due to a lack of standard diagnostic criteria. Recent studies have shown the involvement of immune dysfunction and various pro-inflammatory cytokines in FM. Since there is so much uncertainty regarding the pathogenesis of FM, treatment modalities are very limited and ineffective. This review aimed to analyze the immunological mechanisms behind FM, attempting to deepen the understanding of its pathogenesis. Additionally, the review elucidates FM's associations with autoimmune diseases, highlighting shared pathophysiological mechanisms and overlapping symptoms. We synthesized current literature available on Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer, and Web of Science, the review explored the intricate interactions between genetic predisposition, immune dysregulation, and environmental factors in FM pathogenesis. The inclusion criteria prioritized studies focusing on the immunological aspect of FM. In conclusion, immune dysfunction has a role to play in the pathogenesis of FM, and immunomodulatory therapies have proven to be beneficial in the treatment of FM. Genetic variants, epigenetic modifications, and gut microbiome alterations are potential triggers for immune system dysfunction, contributing to the manifestation and exaggeration of FM symptoms. This review provided a comprehensive resource for researchers and clinicians, a guide for future investigations and clinical management towards improved outcomes and enhanced quality of life for individuals with FM.

Authors:   Department of Internal Medicine, Diabetes & Endocrinology, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt., Hassan Salma
Published: October 2024

Obesity is a worldwide health problem, and its prevalence is increasing steadily all over the globe. Leptin, mainly produced by adipocytes, was identified to modulate the immune system, as well as contributing to increased production of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) and thyroglobulin antibody (TG-Ab). Autoimmune thyroiditis, mainly Hashimoto's thyroiditis, is believed to be the main cause of hypothyroidism in iodine sufficient regions, (TPO-Ab) and (TG-Ab) are the hallmarks of this disease. This study aimed to assess the relationship between thyroid autoimmunity, obesity and serum leptin level in a sample of Egyptian individuals. This study was a case control study which included 60 participants, recruited from the outpatient of the Internal Medicine Clinic at Ain Shams University Hospitals, during the period from February 2022 to October 2022. They were divided into two groups: Group 1 included 30 participants, have Residual hematopoiesis is an important prognostic factor of immunosuppressive therapy in severe aplastic anemia (BMI) >30 kg/m2, and Group 2 included 30 participants, have BMI (18.5-25 kg/m2). We detected serum leptin, thyroid profile and thyroid antibodies using the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and other immunoassays. Serum levels of leptin, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were statistically significantly higher in group 1 than in group 2 (p=0.0001 for all). Also, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between leptin level and Anti-TPO in group 1 (p=0.002). In addition, in group 1, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between serum leptin level and TSH (p=0.0001). In conclusion, there is a relationship between thyroid autoimmunity and serum leptin level in obese subjects.
PR179-21205-R01 Methane Abatement from LB NG 2-Stroke Cycle Engines Through In-Cylinder Modifications
Authors: Vieira Greg , Banji Titilope , Lorenzen Rachel , Olsen Daniel
Published: October 2024

There are over 7000 of large bore integral compressor engines distributed along the interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines in the United States for gas compression. Methane emissions from large bore engines stem primarily from poor combustion efficiency. This study aims to improve the combustion efficiency of these engines, by reducing the amount of unburned methane that can escape through the crankcase vent and the exhaust gas emissions. Two broad approaches are taken to achieve this objective using experimental testing and computational studies: hydrogen blending and late cycle high pressure fuel injection (HPFI). Multiple sweeps of natural gas/hydrogen blends are presented on the Cooper-Bessemer GMV-4TF utilizing two different configurations, (1) mechanical gas admission valve (MGAV) fuel injection with open chamber ignition and high-pressure fuel injection (HPFI) with pre-combustion chamber (PCC) ignition. Late-cycle high pressure fuel injection is evaluated by independently varying fuel injection timing at different injection pressures. Fuel/air mixing, methane blowby, and ring pack (crevice volume) methane emissions are quantified and used for performance assessment.
IDEOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF ECONOMIC CRISIS
Authors: MANASSERIAN Tatoul
Published: October 2024

In general, both controllable and uncontrollable factors affect the functioning of the market, creating the necessary prerequisites that led to the corona economic crisis. And finally, if we add these conditions to the significant excess of imports over exports and the
unprecedented growth of negative trade receivables in the country's balance of payments,
it becomes quite obvious how and why the global corona-economic crisis will weigh on
the national economy. It is important to note that the corona-economic crisis differs from
the conceptual, ideological crisis in that sooner or later the economy will come out of the
crisis, while it may be quite difficult to find a way out of the conceptual crisis and it is
difficult to find possible solutions for it.
