Published: August 2024

There are various infection diseases that have a significant impact on the health of the people. The healthcare associated infections are important cause of the patient morbidity and mortality. Research shows that the microbiological contamination of air and environment in the Operation Theaters (OTs) are one of the major risk factors of Surgical Site Infection (SSI). More than 10% patients admitted to acute care hospitals in the developed nations and 25% patients in developing nations got the infection, which was not presented at the time of admission. Annually, more than 1.3% patients were reported with SSI, and it caused 15000 deaths.

The study aims to conduct a retrospective analysis of microbiological surveillance of operation theatres

This retrospective study analyzes the microbiological surveillance data from OTs over a period of 5 years from April 2017 up to March 2022 and was conducted at a tertiary care hospital, Odisha, India. Prior approval for the study was taken from the institute, and Ethical committee has provided the guidelines for maintaining the standard approach. For collecting the sample, two groups were defined that involve the swabbing surface and settle plate method. Moreover, a total of 4200 surface swab samples were taken from the 5 OTs of the hospital during the study. Out of these, 900 samples per OT were collected from General Surgery, Urology, Orthopedics and Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) OTs whereas 600 samples were from Ophthalmology OT.

Staphylococcus aureus count was 7 (3.2%) and Enterococcus spp. was 6 (2.7%). Moreover, the bacterial CFU/m was analyzed for identifying the level of infection through air. As per the outcome of the analysis, the count of air was ranged from 28-134 as the general is having highest count 137 and Ophthalmology was having least in OT.

The study has shown that surgical site infection is a serious problem for the postoperative patients and staff members as it causes chronic illness that could lead to uncertain death. The microbiological quality of the air and surface of the OTs plays a critical role in such illness and issues to patients and staff members. However, the hospitals tries to maintain the good level of hygiene and low bacterial contamination rates on surface swabbing and CFU count per m of air within permissible limits.

Published: August 2024

Infections due to Enterococcal species is 2 prevalent cause of Nosocomial Infections in health care settings. They are crucial because to their inherent resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins, and low level aminoglycosides & their tendency to develop higher level of aminoglycoside and vancomycin resistance, which leaves few therapeutic alternatives for therapy.

Isolation and identification of Enterococci with their Antibiogram & determination of Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of Vancomycin by E-test.

The antibiogram generated by Kirby Baur disc diffusion method and standard microbiological procedures were used to identify enterococcal isolates from distinct clinical samples. MIC level for Vancomycin was tested for all the isolates using E-test from BIOMERIEUX.

Total of 108 isolates (62 E.faecalis and 46 E. faecium) were tested by E-test for MIC of Vancomycin, of which 40 (37.03%) (22 E.faecalis & 18 E. faecium) were Vancomycin Resistant (VRE) strains, having MIC level >32 μg/ml. Nine strains out of 40 (45%) were found to have MIC >256 μg/ml. The enterococcal isolates were observed to be sensitive to Linezolid (80%), Ofloxacin (74%), Amoxyclav (74%) and Cefaperazone (70%).

For the Indian medical community, the rise of antibiotic resistance among Enterococcal species has been a significant concern. So this is need of present era that our laboratories must be well-equipped to report the resistance patterns displayed by enterococci in order to practise evidence-based medicine and reduce hospital acquired infections.

: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a highly prevalent, chronic disease, with variable incidence rates. Clinically manifests as nasal discharge, congestion, nasal itching, sneezing and watery eyes. Treatment approach is based on duration and severity of symptoms. Second generation antihistamines are the drug of choice. Serum Ig E and Absolute Eosinophil Counts (AEC) have the potential to be the viable prognostic markers. The present study aims to assess the relationship of Serum IgE and AEC with treatment response in patients with allergic rhinitis.

40 patients of allergic rhinitis were included in the study and were categorized into mild, moderate and severe allergic rhinitis according to ARIA guidelines. Pre-treatment sample for serum IgE and AEC was taken followed by 4 weeks of medical management according to categories. Post- treatment sample was taken and improvement assessed on the basis of fall in serum IgE and AEC levels.

A total 40 patients were enrolled ranging from 14-60 years of age (mean age 28.75±11.23years) with female preponderance (52.5%). Most common presenting symptom being sneezing. Significant decline in pre-treatment AEC and serum IgE levels was observed.

The findings of the study indicates that treatment response had an association with AEC and Serum IgE levels.

Published: August 2024

Alcohol consumption is a major problem in India. Alcohol dependence develops due to various factors, like individuals’ characteristics and social factors. The study was done to analyze coping strategies in relation to alcohol dependence and relapse.

A follow-up study was conducted among 103 patients who attended the Psychiatry department for de – addiction treatment in a tertiary care centre in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu. A validated semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect details of Socio-demographic characteristics. The Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire and the Brief-COPE questionnaire were administered. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 20.

Out of 127 participants, 24 dropped out of the study. 103 patients were followed up for a period of 6 months. At the end of the follow-up period, around 66% of patients relapsed. (N=69). About 64.1% of study participants belong to the age group of 31–50 years. Compared with their counterparts, non-relapsers were practicing adaptive coping strategies and relapsers were practicing maladaptive coping strategies (statistically significant p < 0.05). Relapsers were practicing styles like Denial, Substance abuse, and self-blame more than the non-relapsed, and those differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Nearly 55% of the relapsers had severe Alcohol Dependence when compared to non-relapsers (32.3%), and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05).

The study showed that poor coping among individuals with alcohol dependence was one of the factors contributing to relapse. Measures to improve Coping skills in de-addiction centres and Rehabilitation units will help dependent individuals to remain abstinent.

Published: August 2024

The Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is considered as one of the most common endocrinopathies in women of reproductive age having the issues related to the hyperandrogenism and oligo-anovulation. The rate of prevalence in premenopausal women is between 6-10% worldwide and in India it is around 5-10%. Interaction of small number of key genes responsible for most of the endocrine and metabolic symptom with environmental risk factors have impact on high prevalence of PCOS.

To analyse thyroid profile in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome and compare it with healthy individuals

The samples were collected from PCOS patientsdiagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria, ascertained by ultrasonography, attending the OPD in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Rajarajeshwari Medical college and Hospital, Bangalore from December 2014 to May 2016. Seventy-five cases of PCOS patients in the age group of 20-40 years, andseventy-five age-matched healthy women (control) with regular menstrual cycle were selected.

The mean age of cases was 30.13 (SD=5.32) years and mean age of control group was 28.54 (SD=6.78) years. Further, in case group, 73.33% patients were Euthyroid, 6.66% were sub-clinical hyperthyroid, 14.66% were subclinical hypothyroid and 5.33% were clinical hypothyroid. The mean value of T3 for case group was 127.13 (SD = 51.23) and control group was 137.57 (SD = 59.49). Moreover, the mean value of T4 for case group was 8.17 (SD = 2.50) and control group was 9.45 (SD = 2.24). In case group, 12.7% Euthyroid patients, 54.5% subclinical hypothyroid and 75% clinical hypothyroid had anti-thyroid peroxidase+ (TPO+). On the other hand, in control group 7.7% Euthyroid and 66.9% subclinical hypothyroid were anti-TPO+.

Euthyroid PCOS cases with anti TPO positive are at risk of developing hypothyroidism. Thus T3, T4 and TSH should be periodically evaluated in these subjects.

: Nutrition is an age-old issue of human civilization with approximately 40% undernourished hospitalized inpatients. This has effect on surgery as healthy individuals have better tolerance than malnourished patients.

: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of nutrition on patients who had undergone different types of Orthopedics surgeries.

This prospective research involved 200 participants who received various orthopedic surgeries at a tertiary care facility. The evaluation of nutritional status involved measuring anthropometric (BMI) and biochemical markers (pre-albumin and transferrin) before, after, and three months after surgery for various age groups, genders, comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension, as well as for complications like urinary tract infections and surgical wound dehiscence. Version 16 of the SPSS statistical analysis program was used for the analysis. Chi Square and the repeated variable ANNOVA test were the tests employed.

: 113 patients were followed up prospectively with 4.42% under nourishment rate. Nutritional markers were statistically significant values at pre,post and at 3 months of post op. Diabetes and age more than 40 years were two important parameters affecting nutrition of patients undergoing different orthopedic surgeries. Surgical wound infection was not related to nutritional status of the patient in this study. Pre albumin was found to be a better predictor of nutrition than transferrin.

: This study clearly showed that nutrition has tremendous impact on the outcome different orthopedics surgeries. But needs more extensive research with huge sample size to prove the same in a more accurate way.

Pneumonia is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children in developing countries. Pneumonia is the most common cause of death in under-five children, responsible for 18% deaths in this age-group and more than 50% percent of death associated with malnutrition. According to UNICEF in 2018 over 800000 children death due to pneumonia and around 2200 per day and in south east Asia 2500 case per 100000 childeren. In India pneumonia killed more than127000 under five children in 2018 and >50% death associated with severe acute malnutrition (SAM).

To know the incidence, prevalence, clinical presentation etc. of pneumonia in SAM and various factors affecting its outcome.

After getting clearance from the institutional clearance committee this hospital based observational study was done in the Nutritional Rehabilitation Centre of SVP PG Institute of Pediatrics & SCB Medical College, Cuttack from October 2019 to September 2021.

The overall prevalence of pneumonia in SAM children in our study was 46.2%. Children aged 6-12 months (40% of total study population) were more vulnerable group for pneumonia with SAM. The most organisms isolated from blood cultures are Staphylococcus aureus followed by klebsiella, streptococcus, GDS, acinetobactor, pseudomonas, CONS, . 114 patients (93.4%) were cured and discharged with variable number of admission days and 8 patients (mortality 6.6%) died due to various complications with pneumonia.

Protein Energy Malnutrition and Pneumonia associated with protein energy malnutrition is very much prevalent in this region of our country and its severe form can contribute to significant mortality and morbidity for the under-five children in general and 6-12 month of age in particular. The hospital stay prolonged in pneumonia with SAM children as compared to SAM children with other morbidity.

For the last one and half years, COVID-19 pandemic has become a medical challenge all over the world. Patients fulfill criteria for Kawasaki disease in a substantial proportion of cases. MIS-C tends to occurr in previously healthy patients. MIS-C tends to affect black and Hispanic individuals. On the other hand Kawasaki disease tends to affect more of Asian population. The author reports a case of post COVID MIS-C in a 13 years child who presented with fever for 4 days and hypotension. Physical examination revealed left sided lymphadenopathy in neck, tachycardia and tachypnea. Investigations showed elevated CRP, ESR, D-dimer, PT-INR, ferritin, procalcitonin, very high antibody titer of SARS COV-2 IgG and low platelet count. Patient was treated with IV methylprednisolone, IV immunoglobulin, IV meropenem, SC enoxaparin and Tab aspirin. His condition gradually improved, BP normalised, and heart rate decreased and fever subsided. This case report emphasises that early recognition and concomitant treatment of COVID related MIS-C can enhance good outcome and negate potentially life threatening complications.
The Formation and Role of Commemorative Practices during the Russian-Ukrainian War
Authors: Bohutskyi Artem
Published: August 2024

The article attempts to highlight the content of commemorative practices in Ukraine and Russia in the context of the current war. The full-scale invasion of Russia on February 24, 2022, gave a strong impetus to qualitative and quantitative changes in both Ukrainian and Russian socio-cultural environments. In the context of the existential confrontation between both countries, commemorative practices have become key in the struggle of identities.Ukrainian commemorative practices are developing as a countercultural element in relation to Russia. And accordingly, they are aimed at promoting national unity and resistance to Russian aggression. The socio-cultural space is changing through decommunization, de-Sovietization, and de-imperialization. The issue of the place of the Soviet heritage in the Ukrainian socio-cultural space is particularly controversial. The above processes cannot be based solely on emotional grounds, but are part of a system. “Sovietness” does not disappear after renaming streets, demolishing monuments, and dismantling the attributes of communist rule. What is needed is the decommunization of consciousness.The Russian commemorative environment is based primarily on the glorification of the army, the popularization of the cult of death, and the rewriting of history. This list is primarily aimed at preserving the Soviet-imperial identity and restoring the markers of the empire in their state and on the territories they managed to occupy. At the same time, there are attempts to destroy Ukrainian identity and statehood as obstacles to the restoration of the empire.In the end, we can say that commemorative practices in the current military conflict have added a new cultural dimension. In general, the topic of the formation and role of commemorative practices in the Russian-Ukrainian war is complex and has broad implications for modern society. This article and future studies of these practices will contribute to a deeper understanding of the impact of the war on the collective consciousness, identity formation, and the prospects for further cultural and social processes.
Graffiti of “Olisava Group” and the Autograph of the King of Norway Hakon Eiriksson in St. Sophia of Kyiv: Comprehension of History
Authors: Nikitenko Nadiia
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the graffiti inscription on the pillar of the northern choirs of St. Sophia of Kyiv, determined in science as an autograph of the unknown Varangian Yakun. The graffiti is a part of the integrated cycle of eight inscriptions. The head inscription among them is the one made by the Rus princess Olisava, who was not mentioned in the sources. She was traditionally identified in science as the mother of Svyatopolk II (1096‒1113). The scientists’ conclusions were based on dating the creation of the cathedral no earlier than the reign of Yaroslav the Wise (1016‒1054) in Kyiv Rus. The dating of St. Sophia construction to the years of 1011‒1018, which was introduced into science by the author, made it possible to revise the identification of Olisava and date these graffiti to 1019. The author proves that Olisava was the daughter of the Bulgarian tsar Peter I. She was brought to Kyiv from Bulgaria in 970 by Kyivan Prince Svyatoslav the Brave for his son Yaropolk. After the murder of Yaropolk in 980, Olisava, pregnant by him, became the wife of Volodymyr the Great – a grand prince of Kyiv Rus ‒ and gave birth to Svyatopolk (Peter), whom Volodymyr recognized as his son. During the feud between the sons of Volodymyr in 1015‒1019, Svyatopolk, together with his father-in-law, the Polish prince Boleslaw the Brave, took Kyiv and reigned in it in 1018/19. The graffiti records the end of the feud and names the ruling elite of Rus, which included the Varangian Yakun as a tutor of Prince Mykhailo ‒ the youngest unmarried son of Svyatopolk from the daughter of the Polish prince Boleslaw the Brave. Yakun’s inscription was for the first time identified as an autograph of the Norwegian king Hakon Eiriksson, who ruled Norway in 1014‒1015 and 1028‒1030. He was expelled from Norway by King Olav the Holy. During the exile Hakon served Boleslav and Svyatopolk, and after the death of the latter ‒ Yaroslav. According to the chronicle, in 1024 the “Varangian prince” Yakun (Hakon) together with Yaroslav was defeated in the Battle of Lystven, fled to Scandinavia, and in 1028 returned to Norway and ruled it until his death.

Background: Sorghum extract + ready-mix clodinafop + metsulfuron herbicide as post-emergence was most effective for broad spectrum weed management in wheat crop. Sorghum extract and herbicide combination increased the growth as well as yield of wheat. Weeds are a major challenge in wheat crop causing poor productivity. At a present time, maximum does of herbicides are used in wheat crop, but after some time their harmful effect are visible on crop and soil. so sorgoleone allelochemical are used with herbicide. this ecofriendly integrated approach reduce weed density and increase the productivity of wheat. Methods: The experiment was conducted to work out “Bio-efficacy of sorghum extract and herbicide on growth, yield and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).” The eleven treatment combination sorghum extract alone as well as combined with ready-mix of clodinafop + metsulfuron herbicide with weed free and weedy check was taken during experiment. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) during rabi season of 2021-22 at Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Jodhpur (Rajasthan) India. Result: Sequential application of sorghum extract (1:3) + ready-mix of clodinafop + metsulfuron 64 g/ha was applied at 21 and 30 DAS, significantly increased plant population, plant height, tillers and SPAD chlorophyll meter reading (SCMR) of wheat. This treatment resulted in significantly higher grain yield 4543 kg/ha and magnitude of increments were 34.87% over weedy check and was comparable with sorghum extract (1:2) + ready-mix of clodinafop + metsulfuron 64 g/ha.
Metagenomic Profiling Identifies Potential Biomarkers for Shrimp Health Assessment and Pathobiome-like Association Involving WFS/AHPND Associated Bacteria in Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP)-infected Penaeus vannamei
Authors: Babu S. Ganesh , Uma A. , Shanmugam S. A.
Published: August 2024

Background: Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) is a microsporidian parasite that infects Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei). EHP infection causes severe growth retardation and subsequent economic losses, thereby posing a major challenge in shrimp farming. Understanding the diversity of microbiota in EHP-infected shrimp hepatopancreas (HP) is essential, as the organ plays a crucial role in nutrient storage, absorption and growth. Methods: A metagenomic approach was employed, targeting the V3-V4 conserved region of the 16S rRNA gene to gain insights into the microbiome dynamics of P. vannamei HP in response to EHP infection. Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were identified from the sample reads using sequence similarity based on the 16S bacterial reference database (Greengenes) and the OTUs were clustered together using UCLUST at a cut-off of 97% identity. Result: The analysis revealed a varied OTU abundance between healthy and EHP-infected HP samples. Higher levels of pathogenic Vibrionales, Pseudoalteromonadaceae, Vibrio and Photobacterium damselae were found in EHP-infected HP samples, linked to Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND) and White Feces Syndrome (WFS) in shrimp, suggesting a possible pathobiome interaction in conjugation with EHP. Furthermore, specific taxa like Sphingomonadaceae, Chitinophagaceae, Cytophagaceae, Verrucomicrobiaceae, Xanthomonadaceae, Pseudomonas and Kaistobacter were more abundant in healthy P. vannamei HP, suggesting their potential as health biomarkers to assess the overall health status of the shrimp.

This study aims to conduct a comparative study of halal policies in Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. The focus of this research is to understand the differences and similarities in the approaches and implementation of halal policies in these countries, as well as the factors that influence the development of halal regulations at the national level. The comparative analysis method is used in this study to compare the halal policies of several countries in Southeast Asia. Data and information are obtained from various sources, including official regulations, government reports, academic publications, and other relevant documents. Each country is identified as having a halal certification body that plays a role in the process of certifying and guaranteeing product halalness. Based on the results of the author's analysis, it can be concluded that almost all member countries of Asean already have halal policy regulations which serve as guidelines for implementing halal product guarantees in their respective countries. As for countries that do not have regulations related to halal policies, such as Laos and Myanmar. However, in Myanmar, there is a halal certification service by a multinational halal certificate agency. In general, the mechanism for halal certification in ASEAN countries has the same stages, starting from registration, verification, audit, determination of halal products, issuance of halal certificates to the validity period of the halal certificate. However, each of these stages has guidelines and policies contained in each country's halal policy regulations and implemented by halal certificate institutions in each country. The validity period is also a concern because the majority of the validity period of certificates in each ASEAN country is 1 year. Indonesia is the only country in Asean that enforces halal certificates for life or for production and requires halal certificates in Indonesia.
Halal traceability study chicken meat nuggets
Authors: Nurhayati Ima , Khoiroh Naimatul
Published: August 2024

Indonesia is a country with a majority Muslim population, so this can cause concern. Islam also teaches about the obligation to consume halal food, resulting in the emergence of various halal industries to meet food needs. One of the products produced by the halal food industry is chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets are available in various brands with different ingredients ranging from raw materials, additional ingredients, to supporting ingredients. When processing nuggets, it must be ensured that they meet halal food safety standards, one of which is using the Halal Critical Control Point (HCCP) approach. This HCCP aims to consider the origin of raw materials, the processing process until it becomes a product that is ready for distribution. This research aims to determine the critical point for halal food in chicken nugget products in Indonesia as a novelty of this research. In this research, a library study or literature review research method was used. The results of this search show that the critical point for halal food in chicken nuggets is divided into 7 of them; 1) chicken meat, 2) wheat flour, 3) cooking oil,  4) processed vegetable ingredients, 5) sugar, 6) soy protein, 7) monosodium glutamate. This research can help provide information to the public about the importance of halal food from production to processing aspects.

Pacific youth in diaspora have faced many well-being challenges. This group has had to navigate the tensions between holding on to their Pacific values and participating in Western society, which at times can be contradictory. As this group comes of age in their host country, their well-being becomes ever more important. In this article, we explore the well-being journey of this cohort and their stories of resilience. We show how these groups have been able to use their Pacific culture(s) as a form of positive well-being. Through the sharing of Pacific youth experiences, by two Pacific researchers, we provide an insider’s perspective on how our youth have been able to positively navigate their respective host countries with a positive connection to their Pacific culture(s). As members of our communities, we highlight the importance of Pacific culture(s) among this cohort, in the hope that it will better inform government and non-government initiatives.

This research explores the experiences of some kaiako at an Aotearoa tertiary provider during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each kaiako drew inspiration from the pūrākau of Ranginui and Papatūānuku to write a personal narrative with a particular focus on the national rāhui. The objective was to better understand kaiako well-being and bicultural practice to prepare for future events with uncertain and shifting circumstances. The lived experiences of these kaiako were analysed through two lenses across two phases of analysis. The first lens used was kōrero pūrākau, using the pūrākau and context of the separation of Ranginui and Papatūānuku by their tamariki. The second lens employed the three tikanga principles: whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and kotahitanga. A list of recommendations based on the findings are presented in this article to support people who are coming to terms with their new normal.

Published: August 2024

Primary thyroid lymphoma is a rare malignancy, accounting for approximately 5% of all thyroid malignancies and less than 2% of extranodal lymphomas. Diffuse B-cell lymphoma is the most common pathological subtype of primary thyroid lymphoma. It typically presents as a rapidly growing, painless thyroid mass and may cause compressive symptoms. Its treatment is similar to non-thyroid lymphoma.

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by pathogenic variants in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The spectrum and frequencies of CFTR mutations vary among populations. As a result of continuous migration around the world, the frequency of CF variants may change and is still unclear in some geographies. We aimed to define the CFTR gene variants we observed as a result of our single-center experience. This research assessed the outcomes of 353 patients who underwent next-generation sequencing to identify variations in the CFTR gene. Variants classified as clinically uncertain significance, likely pathogenic or pathogenic detected in patients with pre-diagnosis of cystic fibrosis who underwent genetic testing were included in the evaluation. The variants detected in the vast majority of cases were comparable to those found in other populations. However, some variants showed significant differences in allele frequencies when compared to European and Asian populations. Mutations were detected in 25.2% of cases. This dataset revealed that the most common mutations in patients presenting to our center were c.2991G>C, c.2856G>C, c.1545_1546delTA, c.1521_1523 del and c.202A>G. This research presents data on CFTR variations to determine the frequency of CF in the Istanbul province of our nation and to identify additional frequently occurring pathogenic variants that are currently unknown. This kind of research has the potential to facilitate the creation of a localized strategy for maximizing healthcare provision for individuals with CF.
A molecular dynamics assisted insight on damping enhancement in carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites with oriented multilayer graphene oxide coatings

Published: August 2024

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites with high damping performance have been required in diverse applications. The interlayer slip characteristics of the graphene family offer a clear benefit in enhancing the damping performance of materials. In this study, an oriented graphene oxide (GO) structure was designed on the carbon fiber surface to enhance the damping capacity of the composites. The molecular dynamics method was proposed to investigate the damping mechanism of multilayer GO-reinforced polymer composites based on energy dissipation, which is consistent with the results revealed by dynamic mechanical analysis. Under a wide range of loading strain, vibration frequency, and temperature, GO induces a higher loss factor/lower quality factor of the composite materials. The visualization of the atomic displacement field demonstrates that the sliding of multilayer GO during vibration enhances the mutual friction among polymer segments, leading to a pronounced increase in the energy loss. Notably, substantial enhancements in damping properties were observed with thicker GO coatings. This is due to the fact that the uniformly distributed shear stresses are more likely to activate interlayer slip, and higher frictional forces consume more mechanical energy.
