In brazing technology is not common practice the use of pure metals as a filler material, but rather in the form of an alloy. A versatility of alloys was developed for use in brazing or soldering, however as in welding. Rare-earth elements (REEs) have specific chemical and metallurgical properties and they are not commonly used in the making of a filler alloy. So, it would be expected that cerium, praseodymium and samarium, as part of group REEs, may be used for improving some specific properties of a filler brazing alloy. Providing brazing technologies includes a versatility of chemical and metallurgical properties and demands that should be fullfilled, such as fluidity, strength, corrosion resistance, etc. Most of these properties may be satisfied when added cerium, praseodymium or other REEs in small amounts in brazing filler metal (BFM). For economical reasons, the using of REEs is not profitable, because they are expensive, rather than for technological reasons, at first for deoxidation during melting and improving the wettability. For brazing diamonds such expensive filler metal could be used only if the bond strength is increasing.

Risk is present everywhere and all organizations have to face the risk. This paper presents the importance of risk as a daily occurrence in project risk management. Using the integrated model of fault tree analysis (FTA) and failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), a risk analysis was performed on the example of a biogas plant, with risk assessments and adequate treatment of identified main and secondary risks, in order to start the risk management process and thus improve the operation of the biogas plant. First, a system-level FTA is performed, which results in a set of failure modes and proceeds to build a fault tree for the particular system as a whole. Finally, each base event is further analyzed with FMEA to identify the base failure modes for each component, then an RPN value is calculated, to prioritize repairs according to the top event

Authors: Sajid Shazia , Anwer Muhammad , Mufti Ali Ahsan , Iqbal Mehwish
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the impact of cultural contexts on social media experiences and their emotional consequences. With over 4.8 billion global users, social media plays a pivotal role in shaping communication and interpersonal relationships. However, cultural factors such as individualism vs. collectivism, power distance, and uncertainty avoidance significantly influence how users engage with these platforms. Utilizing a quantitative approach, this research explores the relationships between cultural dimensions, social media engagement patterns, and emotional outcomes across diverse cultural groups. Data was collected from approximately 1,000 participants, equally divided between Western and Eastern cultural contexts, using standardized questionnaires assessing cultural orientation, social media usage, and emotional responses. The analysis revealed that individualism positively correlates with social media engagement (r = 0.450, p < 0.01), while collectivism negatively affects engagement frequency (r = -0.320, p < 0.05). High power distance (r = -0.290, p < 0.05) and uncertainty avoidance (r = -0.350, p < 0.01) negatively impacted user interactions, highlighting cultural constraints on online behavior. Furthermore, the study found that social media engagement mediates the relationship between cultural factors and emotional outcomes, with significant differences in emotional responses observed between Western (M = 4.80) and Eastern (M = 3.20) cultures. The findings emphasize the importance of culturally sensitive approaches in mental health interventions and social media platform design, advocating for tailored strategies that account for the unique needs and experiences of users from different cultural backgrounds. This research contributes to the growing body of literature at the intersection of culture, technology, and psychology, offering insights valuable for both academic and practical applications in enhancing user well-being in the digital age.

As a key sector of the Hungarian economy, the industry generates a significant share of GDP and has grown dynamically in recent years, the aim of our study is to compare the activities of Hungarian industry players with sectoral companies in other Visegrad countries, and thus to examine the similarities and differences in the liquidity management of the pharmaceutical industries in these countries. The analysis was based on the annual accounts of regional pharmaceutical companies for the period 2018-2022, extracted from the EMIS database.  The period covered included several globally significant events, and therefore our research also examined the impact of the coronavirus epidemic and the war in Ukraine on pharmaceutical companies and whether there were differences between the Central European countries. Overall, sectoral players in each of the region's countries were able to keep their indebtedness under control and, although Hungarian companies were able to manage the largest assets, by the end of the period the working capital efficiency of Polish companies was better than their regional competitors overall.
Potencial inibitório e leishmanicida de derivados do eugenol sobre a cinase Serine Arginine Protein Kinase de Leishmania braziliensis (LbSRPK)
Authors:   , Souza Michele Midori Koyama de
Published: November 2024

Leishmanioses são doenças tropicais negligenciadas que afetam milhares de pessoas no Brasil e no mundo. Causadas por parasitas do gênero Leishmania, manifestam-se principalmente como Leishmaniose Cutânea (LC), Mucocutânea (LMC) e Visceral (LV). No Brasil, LC e LV são endêmicas, causadas predominantemente pela espécie Leishmania braziliensis e Leishmania infantum. Não há vacinas disponíveis, e os tratamentos existentes são caros, inespecíficos e apresentam efeitos colaterais, além de casos de resistência parasitária. Novos alvos farmacológicos estão sendo estudados, e as Serine Arginine Protein Kinases (SRPKs) mostraram-se promissoras, pois estão envolvidas em processos celulares essenciais. Estudos mostraram a presença de SRPK em tripanossomatídeos, e nosso grupo de pesquisa é pioneiro nos estudos envolvendo SRPK em L. braziliensis bem como dos inibidores dessa proteína e seu potencial leishmanicida. O eugenol é um composto natural do grupo dos fenóis que é conhecido por possuir propriedades anti-inflamatórias, analgésicas, antimutagênicas e antialérgicas. Há relatos na literatura de sua eficácia na inibição do crescimento de promastigotas e amastigotas de várias espécies de Leishmania. Sendo assim, este trabalho avaliou o potencial de oito compostos derivados do eugenol, da classe das amidas aromáticas com diferentes substituintes no anel benzênico, como agentes leishmanicidas, seu potencial citotóxico e a capacidade de agir como inibidores de LbSRPK. Para os experimentos de CC50, células de macrófagos (RAW 264.7) e células de promastigotas de L. braziliensis (M2904) foram cultivadas para avaliar a atividade dos compostos. Os compostos não foram tóxicos às células de leishmania na concentração testada e apresentaram valores de CC50 variados em macrófago (295,2 µM; 217,9 µM; ~2775,8 µM; ~241,1 µM; ~267,7 µM; 575,3 µM; 159,0 µM e 759,3 µM respectivamente para compostos numerados de 1 a 8). Para testar o potencial inibitório dos compostos, eles foram projetados na plataforma do Avogadro e avaliados por docking molecular no software GOLD, usando a proteína LbSRPK previamente modelada e validada pelo grupo de pesquisa. As melhores poses foram analisadas no PyMOL e Discovery Studio e ranqueados pelo servidor online Pose & Rank. Todos os compostos demonstraram interação com resíduos presentes no sítio ativo da proteína, sugerindo seu potencial como inibidores, embora mais estudos sejam necessários para confirmar esses achados. Para complementar os estudos, a proteína recombinante LbSRPK foi expressa em sistema bacteriano E. coli BL21(DE3) para posterior teste de atividade e inibição pelos compostos. Esses estudos visam ampliar o conhecimento sobre o papel da LbSRPK em L. braziliensis e explorar esses compostos derivados do eugenol da classe das amidas aromáticas como possíveis inibidores dessa proteína.

Authors: Guamaní P Jessica , Andrade Cóndor Alexander
Published: November 2024

Las cooperativas de ahorro y crédito (COAC) de Ecuador están clasi­ficadas en cinco segmentos asociados con su nivel de activos, siendo 1 el segmento con mayor nivel y 5 con el menor. Entre 2014 y 2022, la participación de los activos de las COAC en el sistema financiero pasó del 18 % al 29 %. En el 2022, se contaba con 461 COAC activas y 96 liquidadas (98 % en los segmentos 3, 4 y 5). En este contexto, se planteó estudiar la liquidación de las COAC a través de análisis de superviven­cia y regresiones logísticas. Para ello, se contó con la información de 456 cooperativas observadas durante 25 trimestres en el periodo 2016 y 2022. Los modelos de supervivencia reflejan una probabilidad de supervivencia superior al 90 % en todo el periodo en los segmentos 3 y 4, mientras dicha probabilidad en el segmento 5 es de alrededor del 60 %. De manera complementaria, las regresiones logísticas sugieren que el manejo administrativo y el nivel de cobertura es un factor protec­tor de la liquidación, por el contrario, la cantidad de agencias se asocia con un factor de riesgo.

Are There Unit Variations Subscapularis Muscles? A Cadaveric and Histological Study
Authors: RENAULT Annaelle
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The anatomy of the subscapularis muscle has been rarely described. The aim of this study is to provide an accurate description of its anatomy, based on macroscopic and histological analysis. Methods: This descriptive study included 13 shoulders. Macroscopic criteria included the number of muscle bundles and fibrous septa, the number of bone dimples and ridges, and the number of nerve branches, specifying their origin and their point of entry into the muscle. On the same shoulders, we took 3 to 6 histological sections. Microscopic criteria included muscle fiber orientation and fibrous fascia. Results: 93% of shoulders had 3 or 4 muscle bundles. 3 to 6 nerve branches innervated the muscle. The anterior surface of the body of the scapula was formed in its medial part in 67% of cases by 3 bony ridges. Histological analysis revealed 2 to 6 fibrous septa, 2 and 1 orientations of muscle fibers in 67% and 33% of cases respectively. Discussion: The anatomy of the subscapularis muscle is highly variable. The various results form a set of arguments, that make us think that within the subscapularis muscle itself, there is a variable number of muscle bundles and nerve branches, forming neuromuscular functional units.

Teaching and learning activities and methods identify the process, the outcome factors and the input variables such as students, teachers and instructional materials. The skills and attitudes of the students also gauges teaching and learning activities. The effectiveness of teaching and learning may be impacted by unfavorable social and physical circumstances. Establishing a conducive atmosphere is crucial for proficient instruction and acquisition of knowledge. Additionally, in order to impart the proper knowledge to pupils, teachers must be knowledgeable about their subject and have adequate training in the use of teaching tools. The utilization of images, objects, video clips, and internet resources fosters the pupils a realistic imagination of the setting in which the material is being taught. Learning is reinforced as a result: we forget what we hear, remember what we see, and understand what we do. Lack of readiness for the workforce, new student traits, high dropout rates and disengagement, lack of motivation, changing demands of the 21st-century labor market, and global scenarios like economic and social crises, global diversity, and inability to think creatively and be globally competent are all factors. Those who successfully receive knowledge content have transferable abilities that allow them to understand the complexities of technology and think creatively.

Vision-Based Fall Detector for Elderly Based on Sliding Window Approach and Feature Engineering
Authors: Assanovich Boris , Kosarava Katsiaryna
Published: November 2024

A new vision-based fall detector is proposed that uses the tsfresh tool to generate features from the bounding box motion parameters of an object and performs classification in a sliding window mode. The efficiency of the generated features is demonstrated compared to the primary ones. Using the auto-sklearn library and a generalized dataset compiled from the UR Fall Detection and CAUCAFall datasets, the best human fall detection model is found. This model based on a gradient boosting classifier achieved 96% accuracy, which is not inferior to well-known detection algorithms, but uses only two primary motion parameters to generate secondary features. A principal component analysis-based class separability study showed that for secondary features 99% of the variance is captured by the first 4 principal components, while for primary features, the first 10 principal components contain only 80% of the data variance. Furthermore, the processing time for generating secondary features and making predictions was found to be relatively short, taking only a few seconds per sequence, highlighting the practical applicability of the proposed approach in real-time fall monitoring systems.

Needle stick injuries are hazardous to employees' health because they can expose them to blood-borne illnesses such as Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Understanding the prevalence and risk factors of injuries is crucial in order to put into practice effective preventative measures and safeguard the safety and well-being of healthcare personnel. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a lab technicians working in a National Accredited Board for Hospital (NABH) Hospital, in Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu, India during the period of July 2023 to September 2023. Data was collected by using a predesigned pretested questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Among 150 respondents 90% were males and 10% were females, Study found that about 20% of the participants had needle stick injury, with significant risk factors for needle stick injuries including <10 years of experience (p<0.03), infrequent needle recapping p<0.01, irregular glove usage (p<0.02), and non-attendance at training programs (p<0.001).Our study highlights the importance of implementing comprehensive safety measures in hospitals. Initiatives such as health education and training programs, regular evaluation of safety protocols, and safety work place to report incidents and advocate for their own safety are essential.
