Published: December 2023

A brief analysis of external conditions and trends in the use of biomass by burning in boiler installations of centralized heat supply systems in the EU and Ukraine is provided. The dominant role of wood raw materials and the need to improve the technologies of its use in view of the limited available resource and high importance for decarbonization of heat supply and ensuring self-sufficiency of local heat energy systems are noted. The description of the state of technical and economic studies of technologies for increasing the energy efficiency of burning wet wood chips based on the deep utilization of the heat of the output gases of biomass boilers using heat pumps is given. A simulation-optimization model of active utilization is proposed, which allows determining the rational values of the installed and working capacity of condensation economizers and heat pumps, based on the thermal technical characteristics of the fuel, energy characteristics of the boiler and heat pumps, climatic data, temperature schedules of heat supply, technological limitations according to economic criteria: the maximum profit, the minimum equilibrium cost of heat. An example of the calculation of the composition and operating modes of the equipment for the active utilization of the heat of the exhaust gases of a wood chip biomass heating boiler during the heating season, depending on the prices of fuel, electricity and equipment, is presented. It is shown that the optimization of the installed power of the equipment allows to increase the thermal coefficient of useful action by 24 % and to almost halve the payback period of the heating system.

The image of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine on the front pages of “Rzeczpospolita” and “Gazeta Wyborcza” – an analysis of the framing of war photographs
Authors: Stępniak Krzysztof
Published: December 2023

This article aims to illustrate the initial weeks of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as well as the preceding period, through press photography displayed on the front pages of two influential Polish daily newspapers, “Gazeta Wyborcza” and “Rzeczpospolita”, from February 1 to March 31, 2022. Research method: The study utilizes visual framing theory, a less commonly applied approach in visual research compared to classical framing analysis and not as extensively discussed in media studies. Results: The investigation reveals that “Gazeta Wyborcza” and “Rzeczpospolita” did not significantly differ in their daily visual representation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Both newspapers predominantly featured photographs highlighting the conflict frame. Frames focusing on political leadership and military aspects were less prominent. High saturation of photography with the frame of human interest was revealed. Originality/Cognitive value: This article contributes to the understanding of how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is depicted in the non-verbal content of leading Polish dailies.

3D PRINTED PROSTHESES: THE PATH FROM HYPE TO REALITY
Authors: Erenstone Jeffrey
Published: December 2023

3D printing has an over forty-year history but has only become popular in the last fifteen years with the expiration of restrictive patents which allowed open access and unfettered innovation by a broad range of technology developers. During the last decade interest in prostheses made by 3D printing has grown in popularity. The interest in devices has followed the Gartner Hype Cycle as 3D printing companies and associated organizations have used popular claims about 3D printed prostheses to increase their own company’s popularity. These claims created unrealistic expectations which outran the early-stage limitations of the technology, causing disillusion. Currently, the industry is moving beyond these limitations and the field seems to be advancing at a sustainable rate. This article provides an understanding of the history of popular misconceptions surrounding the technology. It provides a basis for separating the myth from reality in 3D printing technology so the reader can question the popular preconceived ideas and find the real value. With a greater understanding of the past, one can apply lessons to present technology use and guide the direction of future 3D printing. This paper will also discuss lessons applicable to both high and low-income countries along with providing recommendations for the future development.

The role of endothelial dysfunction, microcirculatory disorders, and hypoxia as mechanisms for the formation of lung lesions
Authors: Hristich T. M. , Hontsariuk D. O.
Published: December 2023

In a review article, the authors consider the significance of endothelial dysfunction, microcirculation disorders, and hypoxia in the development of lung diseases and in the comorbid course of a number of other diseases of the internal organs. The role of endotheliocytes in the systemic response to inflammatory processes in the case of damage to the bronchopulmonary system is considered. Endothelial cells counteract pathogens in the blood and send signals warning of infection, invasion, or injury. The importance of the anticoagulant and antithrombotic properties of the endothelium (including the pulmonary one), which contribute to the fight against thrombosis, is emphasized. It is indicated that endothelial cells have an endogenous mechanism to combat platelet activation. This function depends on the surface expression of ecto-ATPase, CD39, and the release of nitric oxide and prostacyclin. Attention is paid to the importance of activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system both through angiotensin-II and through aldosterone. The authors stressed the importance of endothelial dysfunction as an imbalance between the factors of relaxation and constriction, coagulation, and fibrinolysis, which provide hemostasis of the main vital regulatory systems, and the stage of disease compensation (via the participation of nitric oxide). Microcirculation disorders and hypoxia are considered phenomena that are compatible in pathogenesis not only with pulmonary diseases but also as common comorbid syndromes with other diseases of the internal organs. This is explained by the fact that the common links are chronic oxidative stress, the reaction of the immune system to damage, the formation of a low-grade chronic systemic inflammation syndrome, a violation of the microcirculation process, and an increase in hypoxic and ischemic processes. The importance of knowledge about the mechanisms of development of endothelial dysfunction, microcirculation disorders, and hypoxia for therapeutic and rehabilitation tactics is emphasized.

Authors: Tymoshchuk Vasyl , Rudakov Leonid , Pikarenia Dmytro , Orlinska Olha , Hapich Hennadii
Published: December 2023

Purpose is the assessment of soil retaining wall stability to ensure geotechnical safety during the radioactive waste tailing pond closure and further recultivation (or rehabilitation) in Kamianske town (Ukraine). Methods. Geomechanical stability of the protective structure has been assessed relying upon the analysis of geological-hydrogeological, engineering-geological, and geotechnical conditions of the certain tailing pond area using a deformation elastic-plastic model of a medium implemented on the basis of finite-element method. For the purpose, the dam slopes have been detalized taking into consideration their geometry as well as changes in vertical section of rock material characteristics in accordance with the earlier geophysical studies; exploration drilling; and engineering-geological surveys. Findings. Stability coefficients of protective tailing pond dam have been identified within the typical areas of a hydraulic structure; it provides high reliability and representativeness of the whole structure health in time as well as under various conditions of the industrial waste water saturation. It has been defined that the stability coefficients varies from ks = 1.372 to 4.758. Comparison of the indicators between 2022 and 2016 demonstrates a tendency of the slope stability coefficient decrease due to water saturation and groundwater level rise. Nevertheless, design characteristics of the structure make it possible to ensure satisfactory a stability coefficient along the whole dam length being 1.13 times higher than the standard one (i.e. ks = 1.250). Originality. The dependence of the tailing pond protective dam stability upon a water supply degree at the forecasted groundwater level rise at the expense of atmospheric and melt water ingress to the tailing pond has been defined. The danger of complete radioactive waste water saturation is a significant reduction in the stability coefficient of the protective structure, which can be supported by predictive modelling data. If strength parameters of a dam material decline for the most critical area then the strength coefficient decreases starting from 1.532 in terms of the current groundwater level down to 1.372 as for the forecasted dam water supply. The figure is more than 10% of its initial stability. Practical implications. The obtained results substantiate the necessity; moreover, they are of practical value while improving hydrological, hydrogeological, and geotechnical monitoring of the analyzed tailing pond to ensure its radiation safety under different conditions of further behaviour during closure, recultivation, or rehabilitation.

Early access secondo la legge 648: una review per il clinico
Authors: Drago Valentina , Giuffrida Federica
Published: December 2023

Law 648 has been introduced in Italy in 1996. It allows early access and off label use of novel drugs that fulfill important unmet medical needs. Despite being live for almost twenty years, there are still several areas where the clinician does not have sufficient confidence for a proper use of the opportunities created by Law 648. In this review we describe the main points that a clinician should be aware of when demanding permission to use new drugs according to law 648. Roles and responsibilities of the prescribing centers and the individual physicians are illustrated and discussed in a Q&A format that clarifies some of the more complex scenarios that a physician may face in the use of Law 648. This should help the clinicians in fostering a proper use of this important pathway for early access of novel, innovative drugs in Italy.
Personalized support programs with innovative digital tools to manage and monitor patients suffering from epilepsy: EpiOnApp case study
Authors: Buscioni Luca , Di Gennaro Giancarlo , Passamonti Claudia
Published: December 2023

Epilepsy is one of the most common serious chronic neurological diseases affecting around 50 million people globally and 500,000 patients in Italy. It causes uncontrollable, unprovoked, and unpredictable seizures that reduce the quality of life of those afflicted.

It is widely recognized that the most important strategy for controlling seizures and enhance well-being includes receiving and adhering to anti-seizure medications as well as making appropriate lifestyle adjustments. However it is estimated that 30–60% of patients do not adhere to their antiepileptic medication regimens. EpiOnApp is a digital Patients Support Program (PSP) designed to empower patients with epilepsy who are taking Cenobamate for their chronic condition to take control of their health care pathway, from inception throughout the duration of the treatment, and to have a meaningful dialogue with their neurologist by sharing health records and emotional states. Moreover, as patients may have limited mobility, they can order their therapy and have it home delivered in a very easy way, and they can benefit from continuous human support through the figure of a dedicated Care Manager. The advantage for the neurologist is that the platform stores seizure data, facilitating the drug titration and better assessing at the time of the follow-up visit. The efficacy of the program is currently being evaluated. So far, the level of satisfaction expressed by patients and neurologists shows that a well-designed and tailored PSP can address the challenge of improving long-term adherence, helping people with epilepsy through the on-boarding and initial treatment period, reducing discontinuation, and ultimately, delivering a better health outcome.

Authors: Wahyuningsih Effi , Suciyati Nunung , Rahman Danis Fatika
Published: December 2023

Generally speaking, children's reading motivation and skills are low, notably those in orphanages requiring solution, one of which is through reading activities applying read-aloud method. Most studies on the read-aloud method were qualitative. This study attempted to address the gap by employing a mixed-methods design with 10 foster children from an orphanage chosen using purposive sampling technique. Observations, tests, and interviews were used to collect the data. Quantitative data from observations and tests were statistically analyzed and reported in frequency and percentage to determine the difference in the number of children who improved following the program. Additionally, interviews were conducted to obtain qualitative data on children's and orphanages' perspectives of the program and its impacts, and the results were assessed using qualitative data analysis including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered and analyzed concurrently. They were then merged and interpreted through a side-by-side comparison approach. Finally, convergence or divergence between the two sources of data was determined. The findings show that quantitative and qualitative data confirm each other, demonstrating that the read-aloud method improved children's reading motivation by significantly increasing the length of time for reading and the number of books read, as well as a slight increase in children's reading comprehension and confidence.  In addition, the children's reading fluency improved substantially, while their reading accuracy and clarity improved slightly. Future research should focus on areas that need the most improvement and entail a larger sample size. Additionally, reading assistance for foster children is always recommended.

Authors: Soares Izzadora Quintanilha , Santana Audirene Amorim
Published: December 2023

Nos últimos anos o babaçu (Orbignya phalerata Martius) aumentou sua importância entre os recursos renováveis da biomassa do país, por ter ampla possibilidade de uso. Essa palmeira pode ser encontrada em grande parte do Brasil, mas é o Maranhão que concentra quase toda a produção de amêndoa de babaçu destinado ao mercado consumidor, seguidos dos estados: Piauí, Pará, Bahia, Ceará e Tocantins. O seu fruto, de onde se extrai o óleo, é responsável por quase 30% da produção brasileira de extrativismo vegetal, empregando mais de 2 milhões de pessoas. Da polpa, produz-se, ainda que em pequena escala, a farinha do babaçu. Devido a sua importância no Maranhão, o presente trabalho trata do estudo experimental do comportamento fluidodinâmico da farinha de babaçu em um leito fluidizado gás-sólido. Neste trabalho foram observados alguns dos principais parâmetros da fluidização do babaçu, dentre eles a queda de pressão na mínima fluidização (∆Pmf), velocidade de mínima fluidização (Umf), porosidade do leito fluidizado (ε). O objetivo deste artigo foi estudar o uso do mesocarpo de babaçu em leito fluidizado, visando identificar, através da variação da queda de pressão no leito em função da velocidade superficial do gás, o regime de fluidização e caracterizar os estados fluidodinâmicos. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a farinha de babaçu, para as condições de operação estudada, comportou-se como uma partícula do tipo A, segundo a classificação de Geldart, com velocidade de mínima fluidização estimada para as granulometrias de 53 µm, 125 µm e mistura de 0,038 m/s, 0,084 m/s e 0,062 respectivamente e queda de pressão na mínima fluidização que se iguala a 0,232 kPa, 0,28 kPa e 0,199 kPa.

This paper examines educational institutions based on boarding schools and boarding schools, whose main material is philosophy. This educational institution is oriented towards critical and objective religious awareness. The actualization of this awareness is in the form of changes in religious behavior in the students themselves. This is urgent to study because as time goes by, secularism also influences the behavior of students getting further away from their religious values. This is caused by low religious literacy in Islamic boarding schools. As a result, a generation of semi-secular intellectuals grows, the knowledge they possess does not lead them to behave religiously. They have religious identity but their behavior is far from religious values. The problem is then formulated into the question how does social construction implement changes in the religious behavior of students? The object of this research is the Motahhari Islamic Boarding School (PPM), Yogyakarta. The Islamic boarding school is a philosophy boarding school in Yogyakarta. This research is a field research. The theory used to analyze and answer research problems is the social construction theory of Peter L Berger and Thoman Luckman. Data collected by observation techniques, interviews and documentation. The results of this study indicate that changes in religious behavior that occur in students at the Motahhari Yogyakarta Islamic Boarding School (PPM) are formed through three stages, namely externalization, objectivation and internalization

This article proves that the interpretation of the Koran is greatly influenced by the socio-political background of the interpreter which influences their interpretation and the choice of approach they use. The regional head election (Pilkada) contest in DKI Jakarta is an arena for seeking the legitimacy of each interpreter for the intent of Qs. al-Ma'idah: 51. On the other hand, a textual approach based on a linguistic approach (al-'ibrah bi' general al-lafdzi) gave birth to an exclusive interpretation in rejecting non-Muslim Regional Head candidates. Meanwhile, the basis of the socio-historical approach ('al-ibrah bi especially al-sabab) is a more inclusive religious foundation that allows non-Muslim Regional Head candidates. The choice of this approach seems to have a reciprocal correlation with the socio-political setting of the interpreter, because in fact the interpretation of awliya' in Qs. Al-Maidah: 51, is neutral. Etymologically it can be interpreted; close, friend, protector, helper, leader, alliance, ally, intimate, lover, soul mate and maybe many more. However, when scholars have a certain tendency, in the end the interpretation of awliya' is brought to the subjective meaning of the interpreter, even though the interpreter claims to have constructed an interpretation that is objective and universal in nature. This research is a field research with a hermeneutic approach. Sources of data are Muslim scholars who are experts in the field of interpretation of the Koran from various backgrounds by purposive sampling according to the expertise of the informants.

The purpose of this study is to find out the differences in kaṣb thought or other views of Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī with Ash'ari. This study departs from the problem of whether there is a relationship between God's will and human actions according to Fakhruddin Al-Rāzī and whether Al-Rāzī's view of kaṣb is the same as that of Ash'ari. This research is a library-based research that starts from understanding interpretations related to human actions, in this case human actions are analyzed in the book of tafsir Mafatih Al-Ghaib. The findings of the study concluded that Al-Rāzī's idea or view of human actions (kaṣb) was that Al-Rāzī neither accepted nor completely rejected the theory of Ash'ari kaṣb which he called "a word for meaningless concepts". Al-Rāzī had his own view of kaṣb which according to Al-Razi kaṣb was the object of qadar created by Allah Almighty directly and newly, without any cause or other factor influencing it. Examples are the creation of man, heaven, earth and everything miraculous. Ar-Rāzī also defines kasb as an object of qadar that replaces qudrah meaning as an object created by utilizing forces or factors that already exist. In this case, Allah Almighty uses His qudrah or ability to create the object. An example is the creation of trees, animals, and humans born from the process of pregnancy. The basis of ar-Razi's refutation is that man has no ability to create or prevent the causal factors (al-Da'i) that lead to action.

In with the New: Homoregionalism of Gay Men in Korea
Authors: Graves Albert
Published: December 2023

This article introduces “homoregionalism” as a subcategory of regionalism practiced by and as gay men in Korea. Regionalism is alive, complex, and witnessing a transformation by a new online generation. Korean gay men—with both regional identities and sexually oriented lifestyles—through their own practice of regionalism, contribute to the construction of this subregionalism influenced by consumer culture and sexual imaginaries, including perceptions of masculinity that establish subtle (not always concurrent) hierarchies of desire. In the broader landscape, homoregionalism functions as a regionalizing means of classifying gay space, place, and identity in Korea.

Glioblastoma (GBM), nöroglial kök hücrelerden gelişen ve oldukça heterojen bir neoplazm grubunu temsil eden agresif bir beyin tümörüdür. Bu tümörler ağırlıklı olarak kasvetli bir prognoz ve kötü yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkilidir. Glioblastomalı hastalar için yeni ve etkili tedavi stratejileri geliştirmedeki büyük ilerlemelere rağmen, çoklu ilaç direncinin (MDR) tedavi başarısızlığının ana nedeni olduğu düşünülmektedir. MDR taşıyıcılarının yukarı regülasyonu, ilaç metabolizmasındaki değişiklikler, apoptozun düzensizliği, DNA onarımındaki kusurlar, kanser kök hücreleri ve epitelyal-mezenkimal geçiş dahil olmak üzere GBM'deki MDR'ye çeşitli mekanizmalar katkıda bulunur. Temozolomid (TMZ), glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) ve astrositomları tedavi etmek için kullanılan oral alkilleyici bir ajandır. Ancak TMZ ile tedavi edilen hastaların en az %50'si TMZ'ye yanıt vermemektedir. MikroRNA'lar (miRNA'lar), glioblastomada MDR'ye neden olan mekanizmalar dahil olmak üzere çeşitli hücre olaylarına katılan geniş bir endojen RNA sınıfıdır. Bu çalışmada, glioblastomada TMZ’ye direncin altında yatan mekanizmaların düzenlenmesinde miRNA'ların rolü araştırılmıştır.
