Research on the impact of various fillers on the weather resistance of asphalt concrete
Authors:   State Enterprise «National Institute of Infrastructure Development» (SE «NIDI»), Kyiv, Ukraine, Sokolov Оleksii
Published: November 2024

Introduction. The properties of bituminous-mineral materials are determined by the bonds formed between individual mineral grains and depend on the characteristics of the bitumen, the thickness of the bitumen layer covering the mineral grains, as well as the interaction processes between the mineral materials and bitumen at their joint interface. To ensure a strong and stable bond between the grains, the bitumen must evenly cover the surface of the mineral materials with a thin layer. To improve the strength of road pavement made from bituminous-mineral material, it is necessary for the maximum amount of bitumen to be adsorbed by the mineral material, minimizing the content of free bitumen. Problem Statement. Depending on the nature of the mineral material and the chemical composition of the bitumen, the properties of its thin layers change in various ways. On an active mineral surface, the strength of the bitumen in a thin layer increases as the thickness decreases, while on an inactive surface, the strength of the bitumen remains largely unchanged with a decrease in layer thickness.

Published: November 2024

Extensional imaging of laryngeal tumors relies on multi-bar helical CT scans. This examination requires compliance with a few simple rules in its preparation and performance. The protocol for performing cervico-mediastinal CT scans will be developed. Imaging must take into account not only the initial tumor pathology, but also the entire upper aero-digestive tract and lymph node areas, i.e. acquisition must extend from the base of the skull to the cervico-mediastinal orifice. Thoracic imaging should be performed as a matter of course for overall patient management. Certain deep extensions, only accessible by imaging, are decisive in the choice of treatment: surgery or radio-chemotherapy. In the case of surgery, imaging is a key factor in the choice of total or partial surgery. A complete lymph node survey is also essential in the management of these lymphophilic tumors.

Authors: Oh Changhwan , Heo Hyun Joo , Kim Yu Yil
Published: November 2024

Pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP) can be caused by various factors, and misdiagnosing it as true thrombocytopenia can cause significant risks to the patient. When using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as an anticoagulant in a complete blood cell (CBC) test, EDTA-dependent PTCP can occur in approximately 0.1% to 0.2% of cases. Anesthesiologists review various medical findings during the preoperative evaluation process, one of which is the blood test results. PTCP can lead to unnecessary interventions or treatments before surgery, potentially harming the patient. This study presents a case of PTCP discovered during preoperative evaluation of a patient diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As anesthesiologists, ensuring the optimal condition of the patient before surgery is paramount, and this case highlights the importance of proper management and in-depth consideration when encountering patients suspected of having PTCP.

Capital Punishment in Ethical Scrutiny: The Validity of Judicial Execution
Authors: - Jessica Ding
Published: November 2024

This analysis sequentially addresses the various aspects of capital punishment, beginning with the notion of justice, moving to the relationships between modes of justice and criminal punishment, and then discussing the precedent for the death penalty and its global relevance. This analysis utilizes a conceptual analysis approach that interacts with the various factors relating to capital punishment through ethical analysis, ultimately weighing everything in terms of morality while mentioning implementational considerations, which can include economic and pragmatic elements. Ultimately, concluding thoughts regarding the most proper perspective on judicial execution after ethical analysis are delivered in the final section, Section 4, of this analysis. Final conclusions on the object of this analysis reveal that capital punishment often perpetuates existing cycles of violence and fail to properly heal the deeply rooted causes behind criminal actions. Although capital punishment has deep historical precedence in the criminal justice systems of the international community, the findings of this analysis point to the fact that alternatives, which align more with restorative justice practices, are worthwhile and could lead to more ethical and effective outcomes in the pursuit for a better society.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Legal Practices
Authors: - VIKRANT DIWAKAR
Published: November 2024

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the legal profession is reshaping how legal tasks are performed, enhancing efficiency and streamlining operations. AI applications, such as legal research tools, contract preparation software, and predictive analytics, assist lawyers by automating monotonous tasks, allowing them to focus on more complex aspects of their cases. Key benefits include time savings, improved accuracy in drafting, and reduced bias in decision-making. However, the reliance on AI also raises significant concerns, including the potential erosion of essential legal skills, challenges to privacy and data security, and the diminishing role of human judgment in navigating nuanced legal issues. While AI serves as a valuable tool, it cannot replace the critical thinking, empathy, and intuition that human advocates bring to the profession. Balancing AI's efficiency with the necessity of human insight will be crucial for the future of legal practice.

Published: November 2024

India has supported social banking for a long time. Policy directions to rapidly expand rural branches, mandate credit allocations for priority sectors (including agriculture), deliver large subsidy oriented credit programmes to serve marginal communities and poor households and control interest rates have been tried for over 35 years. For these purposes, microfinance industry is set to reach new heights. With superlative growth numbers in a period of economic downturn, the sector has come to attention of a wider range of investors. The rapid growth of the microfinance sector in the last few years has completely changed its complexion and nature. The growth has transformed microfinance: from being a sub-set of the development sector it has become a sub-set of the financial services industry. In the last two years competition amongst microfinance institutions (MFIs) as well as with the Self Help Group (SHG) movement has emerged India. This paper discusses the role of microfinance industry in country‟s economic growth in terms of its GDP. It also discusses the changed scenario in the competitive environment and the issues in microfinance institutions. Karl Pearson‟s coefficient of correlation is used to determine the role of microfinance in country‟s growth, which state a very high correlation between these two.

Published: November 2024

Aim: To determine temporal changes in the frequency of asthma and mental illness in California emergency department (ED) visits and examine predictors of both asthma diagnosis and non-routine discharge from asthma visits.
Methods: Public-use, all-payer ED data from non-federal, acute-care hospitals (2005–2014) were obtained for cross-sectional analysis. Due to substantial missing data, we used fully conditional specification multiple imputation with discriminant functions for age group, sex, race, and ethnicity. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine asthma diagnosis (yes/no) among all ED visits and non-routine discharge (sent home vs. all else) among visits with asthma diagnosis. Primary independent variables were mental illness and the 3-digit zipcode of the patient’s residence. Covariates included demographics, payer type, and hospital characteristics.
Results: During 2005–2014 there were 96,180,176 visits at 349 hospitals, and asthma diagnosis increased from 3.3% of ED visits in 2005 to 5.9% in 2014. However, asthma as a primary diagnosis decreased from 1.7% to 1.4% of ED visits. Among visits with asthma diagnosis (n = 4,419,629), co-occurring mood disorders increased from 2.1% in 2005 to 9.2% in 2014. Predictors of asthma diagnosis included attention deficit/conduct disorders [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.41, 95% confidence interval (1.40–1.42)] and mood disorders [AOR 1.37, (1.36–1.37)]. Compared to Los Angeles, cities/areas most associated with asthma diagnosis were Richmond [zipcode 948, AOR 1.22 (1.20–1.24)], Bakersfield [933, AOR 1.21 (1.19–1.24)], and San Bernardino [924, AOR 1.20 (1.19–1.22)]. Ninety-six percent of ED visits with asthma resulted in routine discharge. Predictors of non-routine discharge included suicide/self-harm [AOR 4.74 (4.67–4.81)], schizophrenia [1.97 (1.94–1.99)], and mood disorders [1.35 (1.34–1.36)]. Areas associated with non-routine discharge included the Bakersfield vicinity [932, 1.29 (1.17–1.41)] and Ventura [930, 1.23 (1.10–1.38)].
Conclusions: Increased co-occurring mental illness among asthma-related ED visits suggests a need to improve care among those having co-occurrence. Understanding regional differences in asthma-related ED visits and hospitalization may improve interventions.

The aim of the research is to study the correlation between crop capacity and physiological characteristics of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik). Determination of correlation between physiological characteristics and crop indicators, and assessment of their influence on grain yield give an opportunity to select genotypes with high crop capacity. According to the results of the analysis, strong positive correlation was detected among the valuable economic characters of lentil genotypes, i.e. between indexes such as number of grains per plant with grain weight per plant r=0.88*** and grain productivity per plant r=0.71***; between grain weight per plant and grain productivity in 1m2 plot r=0.79***; among chlorophyll ‘a’, chlorophyll ‘b’ and carotenoid content in leaves (r=0.92***, r=0.81*** respectively); between net photosynthetic productivity and biomass in 1m2 plot (r=**0.67;). Moreover, moderate positive correlation was detected among the indicators of grain number per plant (r=*0.54) and grain weight (r=**0.57) and grain productivity (r=*0.62). Among the lentil genotypes, K-72015 genotype, which has a good result based on the analysis of morphological-physiological and productivity characteristics, gives the opportunity to grow it as a new promising variety in the republic and obtain a higher yield.
