Authors: Shams Kameron , Li Ying , Ozer Kagan
Published: January 2023

Case:

A 13-year-old obese adolescent boy with hypothyroidism developed left femoral head avascular necrosis with collapse after slipped capital femoral epiphysis. We restored the femoral head congruity with the aid of osseoscopy and vascularized free fibular graft (VFFG). Four years after surgery, the patient had painless hip range of motion and femoral head contour was maintained.

Conclusion:

This case highlights a novel use of an arthroscopic camera inside the femoral head to visualize and debride the area of collapse, fill the cavity with cancellous bone graft, and use a VFFG to restore articular support preventing further deterioration of the hip joint.

Authors: Vieira de França Cardozo Leomara , Vieira Pinhão Neto Moisés
Published: January 2023

– O processamento do coco gera resíduos com volumes bastante significativos, cujo descarte no ambiente provoca sérios problemas. Uma solução seria utilizá-lo após o desfibramento, na produção de substrato para produção de mudas. Com base nisso, o objetivo desse trabalho foi identificar a proporção de fibra de coco associada a esterco bovino para a formação de mudas de mamão. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com 5 repetições, sendo os substratos produzidos em cinco proporções de fibra de coco para esterco bovino (0:1; 1:3; 1:1; 3:1; 1:0), semeados com mamão formosa. Cinquenta dias após a semeadura foram realizadas avaliações de comprimento da parte aérea e do sistema radicular, diâmetro do caule, número de folhas, massa seca da parte aérea e do sistema radicular, massa seca total e capacidade de retenção de água no substrato. Os dados foram submetidos a análise de variância e regressão polinomial a 5% de probabilidade. Houve significância apenas para os parâmetros da parte aérea das mudas. A associação de fibra de coco e esterco bovino forma um substrato que garante a produção de mudas de mamão, sendo recomendado utilizar a proporção de 44,38% de fibra de coco e 55,62% de esterco bovino nessa cultura.

This work evaluated the potential of the Merlot grape produced in Campanha Gaúcha region for the production of sparkling wines. The base wines were made through direct pressing (T1) and cold pre-fermentative maceration (CPM) with 6 (T2), 24 (T3) and 48 (T4) hours of duration. Afterwards, the second fermentation of treatments was conducted by the Champenoise method. The results obtained in the physicochemical analysis demonstrate the potential of elaborating sparkling wines with higher alcohol content from this cultivar in the region. In the sensory analysis, all sparkling wines received excellent scores for overall quality and the best results, in general, were observed in the sparkling wine made with 24 hours of CPM (T3). From the results obtained, we can suggest the Merlot grape as an alternative for the production of sparkling wines in the region, requiring more in-depth studies on maturation time and typology of the product to be prepared.

Re-ensiling has increased worldwide due to the increase in marketing of silage between farms. However, litlle is known about the aerobic deterioration and microbial inoculants effect in this process. The aim of this study was to determine the re-ensiling and microbial inoculant use effects on the maize silage quality. Experimental treatments included maize silage exposed to air for zero or 18 h, with or without microbial inoculant use containing a mixture of Lactobacillus plantarum and Propionibacterium acidipropionici. The forage was ensiled in 20 plastic buckets (20 liters capacity) with five repetitions per treatment. The silos were opened after 116 days and the chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), fermentative parameters, microorganism counts, total dry matter (DM) losses and aerobic stability of silage were evaluated. Re-ensiling reduced the non-fibrous carbohydrates content by 14.8%, whereas it increased the neutral detergent fiber content by 6%. The IVDMD was reduced by 6.1% in re-ensiled silages. In addition, re-ensiling increased the losses due to gases, effluents, and total DM. Lower lactic acid content and higher acetic acid content in re-ensiled maize silages were also observed. However, IVDMD increased by 4.6% in inoculated silages. Re-ensiling reduced the nutritive value and IVDMD of maize silages and should be avoided in production systems. The microbial inoculant use was not effective in improving the re-ensiled silage quality, which does not justify its use in these conditions. Farms should avoid purchasing maize silage due to reduction in nutritional value in the re-ensiling process. However, in some cases where farms need to purchase silage for feeding planning, the time between silo opening and re-ensiling should be as short as possible to reduce nutrient loss. Furthermore, in this situation the inoculant use does not improve silage conservation, which makes its use unnecessary.

The aim of this study is to simulate and analyze vehicular speed at defined locations. A system that automatically monitors and reports vehicular speed at every coordinate in conformity to identified locations and informs vehicle owners or relevant authorities on dangerous speeding that could lead to accidents. Its input includes signals from the vehicle speedometer and GPS module that interprets the coordinates of locations. Several works had been done in this area which include tracking of vehicle speed by the owners or authority and speed reporting without information on the vehicle's actual location. This study is an enhancement to others as locations GPS were converted to names of towns, villages, or settlements along the Warri-Benin road before transmission to receivers. Data involving GPS coordinates and signal strength of selected three service providers were collated at designated and recognized locations along the road. Relevant models were developed for simulation on MATLAB 2019 environment for various levels of vehicular speed at the locations. The simulated results show a computed average speed of 200km/h, far above the maximum set speed limit of 100km/h by the Federal Road Safety Commission in 2014 for Nigeria roads that could lead to an accident. The detected speed was transmitted to receivers using the strongest available cellular network signal strength among chosen three service providers of AIRTEL, GLO, and MTN.
Hope and Mental Health: An Investigation of Loneliness, Depression, Stress, and Hope in University Students amid COVID-19
Authors: Strayhorn Terrell L.
Published: January 2023

This quantitative study explored the relationship between hope, a psychological construct (Snyder, 2000), and college students’ mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic, as measured by their loneliness, depression, and stress levels. Analyzing survey data from a non-random probability sample of 257 college students, results indicate that hope was inversely related with loneliness, depression, and stress suggesting that greater presence of hope is associated with lower levels of such symptoms (r’s ranging -0.15 to -0.23). Noteworthy, hierarchical linear regression tests show that hope was significantly related to depressive symptoms in college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly twice the strength of other predictors. Implications of the study’s findings for public policy, professional practice, and future research are discussed.
Breaker Indices in Water Wave Formulated from Kinematic Free Surface Boundary Condition, Conservation Equation of Wave Number and Equation of Energy Conservation
Authors: Hutahaean Syawaluddin
Published: January 2023

In this research, the breaker index equations are formulated using the kinematic free surface boundary condition. By substituting the potential velocity equation for the solution of Laplace's equation in this equation, it is obtained the wave amplitude function equation. From the wave amplitude function equation two breaker indices are extracted, they are the breaker length index which is the ratio between the breaker height and the breaker length; and the breaker depth index which is the ratio between the breaker height and the breaker depth. The next breaker index, which is a ratio between breaker depth and breaker length, is obtained from the wave number conservation law. Consistency testing of the three breaker index equations obtained shows that there is consistency in the three equations. Consistency testing is done by using the connectivity equation, where a breaker index is the product of the multiplication of the other two breaker indexes. The breaker height index, which is the ratio between the breaker height and the deep water wave height, is obtained by substituting the breaker length index in the energy conservation equation. Thus the breaker height equation is obtained which works a function of the breaker length at the breaking point. With the availability of the four breaker indexes, the breaking parameter can be calculated easily.

This article aims to show that in a school situation, the teacher may encounter, for example, situations that require psychological or social knowledge and certain behaviors in the FLE class. This study aims to apply the results and strategies of research specific to (artificial intelligence; neurosciences, psychology, neuropsychology, cognitive psychology) in teaching and learning a foreign language in a university context, which corresponds to reality to provide teachers with a minimum of knowledge about the functioning of the brain. Because the qualification of teachers of French as a foreign language is not reduced to a simple presentation of methodological, pedagogical and ethical facts, but should rather be more concerned with all potentially beneficial aspects to such professional practice. This work led us to answer our main problem: How can the collaboration of the two disciplines: artificial intelligence and cognitive neuropsychology contribute to a better learning of FLE?

Authors: Dwi Yulianti Alifah , Djabir Yulia Yusrini , Prihantono Prihantono
Published: January 2023

Background: Cyclophosphamide (CPD) causes renal cell toxicity due to its toxic metabolites. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the nephroprotective effect of vitamin C at 125 mg/kgBW, 250 mg/kgBW, and 500 mg/kgBW doses based on the biomarker level of urea, creatinine, parameter of urinalysis and renal histopathology. Material and Methods: The experimental animals consisted of 25 rats (Rattus norvegicus) that were divided into 5 treatment groups: healthy control, placebo (water for injection + CPD 250mg/kgBB), and 3 vitamin C treatment groups (125, 250, or 500 mg/kgBW + CPD 250mg/kgBB). Results: The results of blood biomarker, urine analysis, and histopathological analysis showed that CPD induced nephrotoxicity characterized by an increase in urea levels from 21.79 mg/l to 156.65 mg/l, creatinine from 0.375 to 0.717 mg/l, urine protein from 0 to 2.7, with histopathological damage scores from mild to severe (scores 1-3). In the treatment groups, the average damage score was 1-2 (mild score). However, of the three doses used, only the 500 mg/kg dose had significantly improved biomarkers compared to the placebo group, including the urea, creatinine, and urine protein levels, as well as histopathological scores (p<0.05). Conclusions: Vitamin C at a dose of 250 mg/kgBW was able to prevent the increase of urea, creatinine, and urine protein levels, however, a higher dose (500 mg/kg) was required to provide optimal protection against renal structural damage caused by cyclophosphamide.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the world’s third most
common type of cancer. Case studies have shown an inverse correlation
between serum vitamin D levels and the incidence of human colorectal
cancer. This study aims to assess vitamin D levels in patients who
underwent colonoscopy for diagnostic colorectal cancer. Methods: This
research is a cross-sectional study with subjects in this study were
patients who came to the Digestive Surgery polyclinic and underwent a
colonoscopy for diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Level of vitamin D was
collected before the colonoscopy examination and categorized into three
groups, vitamin D with a value of < 20 ng/mL indicate a
deficiency, a level of 20 – 30 ng/mL as an insufficiency level, and a
value > 30 ng/mL as a sufficient value. A colonoscopy
examination was performed to obtain a diagnosis of colorectal cancer
based on anatomical pathology examination. Result: Examination of
vitamin D levels from 120 subjects showed the average vitamin level was
16.36 ng/mL, which indicates vitamin D deficiency levels. A total of 85
subjects (70.8%) showed vitamin D deficiency, as many as 24 (20%)
showed vitamin D insufficiency levels, and only 11 study subjects
(9.2%) showed sufficient vitamin D levels. The colonoscopy showed 60
subjects (50%) with colorectal cancer. The relationship between vitamin
D levels and the diagnosis of CRC showed a value of p = 0.60 (p
> 0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant difference
between low levels of Vitamin D and the diagnosis of colorectal cancer
patients.
Dissociation of singlet excitons dominates photocurrent improvement in high-efficiency non-fullerene organic solar cells
Authors: Li Qicong , Yue Shizhong , Huang Zhitao , Li Chao , Sun Jiaqian , Dong Keqian , Wang Zhijie , Liu Kong , Qu Shengchun
Published: January 2023

In organic solar cells, the singlet and triplet excitons dissociate into
free charge carriers with different mechanisms due to their opposite
spin state. Therefore, the ratio of the singlet and triplet excitons
directly affects the photocurrent. Many methods were used to optimize
the performance of the low-efficiency solar cell by improving the ratio
of triplet excitons, which shows a long diffusion length. Here we
observed that in high-efficiency systems, the proportion of singlet
excitons under linearly polarized light excitation is higher than that
of circularly polarized light. Since the singlet charge transfer state
has lower binding energy than the triplet state, it makes a significant
contribution to the charge carrier generation and enhancement of the
photocurrent. Further, the positive magnetic field effect reflects that
singlet excitons dissociation plays a major role in the photocurrent,
which is opposite to the case of low-efficiency devices where triplet
excitons dominate the photocurrent.

Influence of Untreated Abaca Fibre on Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Foamed Concrete
Authors: Othuman Mydin Md Azree
Published: January 2023

Presently, the expenditure on construction materials grows dramatically along with the enduring effect on the ecosystem, and it has led the academics to the recognition of natural plant fibres such as abaca fibre (AF) for enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete. AF is plentifully obtainable making it fairly relevant to be employed as a strengthening material in lightweight foamed concrete (LFC). Moreover, natural plant fibre-reinforced concrete has been progressively utilized in construction for several decades to decrease crack growth under the static load. This paper anticipates examining the effectiveness of the addition of AF in LFC to enhance its mechanical properties. LFC specimens of 550 kg/m3 density were reinforced with AF at weight fractions of 0.00%, 0.15%, 0.30%, 0.45% and 0.60%. Three parameters have been assessed which were flexural strength, compressive strength and tensile strength. The results revealed that adding 0.45% AF into LFC enables optimal compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strengths. The presence of AF augments material strength by filling spaces, micro-cracks, and gaps inside the LFC structure. Additionally, AF helped reduce crack spreading when the plastic state of the LFC cementitious matrix was loaded. Though, further, than the optimum level of AF addition, accumulation and the non-uniform distribution of AF were identified, which triggers the lowering of the LFC strength properties substantially. The output of this preliminary investigation would give a better understanding of the potential utilization of plant fibre in LFC. It is of great importance to drive the sustainable development and application of LFC material and infrastructures.

Published: January 2023

The increase in population and industrialization leads to an increase in the solid waste year by year. The limited availability, increasing cost and adverse effect of climate change on fossil fuel leads to encouraging the research in the field of finding alternatives for energy sources. The organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) can be utilized as a bio-energy source, which reduces the environmental impact and the requirement of landfill areas to dispose of municipal solid waste. Anaerobic digestion is the widely used sustainable approach to treat OFMSW. In recent years, the generation of methane from municipal solid waste has received increasing attention in research. This paper reviews literature published in recent years considering various characteristics of input feedstock parameters like pH, total solids, volatile solids, and water content which affect the digestion quality of the OFMSW and increase the production of methane. A regression model is developed to identify the relationship between methane production and various feedstock parameters. When the chemical compositions of feedstock were used as independent variables, the percentage variation accounted for by the model is low (r2 = 0.63) and also the important observation from the analysis is that the pH of the feedstock influences majorly methane production.
The Interconnectedness of the Level of Education and Gender Equality in Selected Countries
Authors: Górska Rumiana
Published: January 2023

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) cover different human and planet well-being areas, and their achievement is interdependent. Which of the goals are crucial and leading in this process is a question that often arises. Quality education is considered a cornerstone for all the SDGs. On the other hand, gender equality is very connected with other goals, as most of them have gender-specific indicators. Quality education and gender equality are two of the SDGs in the social dimension that can reinforce the achievement of all other SDGs. However, quantitative research on the relationship between these two phenomena, taking into account other factors, is rarely taken in the literature. This article aims to fill this gap and investigate the nature of the interconnectedness of quality education and gender inequality in selected countries. We also examined other factors (i.e., economic, political, and cultural) that may influence the education level, gender equality problems, and the relationship between them. The methodology used in the research is the propensity score method, and the data cover 153 countries in the world. The results confirm the undisputable relationship between the level of education and gender equality but also identify other factors influencing the variables of interest. These are GDP per capita, level of democracy, and major religion, to name a few. The influence of these factors differs in strength and direction.
An Optimal Security Framework Based on Driver Authentication for Intelligent Transportation Systems
Authors: Yadav Shalini , Rishi Rahul
Published: January 2023

Security and safety have been a critical issue in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems. Security of both people and vehicles is a matter of concern. In this paper, an authentication-based security framework is designed to serve the purpose. Only authorized users are provided access to the vehicle. The drivers are first registered for driving the vehicle from an authorized and valid source. The next step is the authentication check before one can be given access to the vehicle. There are two alternative methods provided for the authentication check in the solution depending upon the situation the vehicle is in. The solution is an optimally viable solution from the security perspective of the real-time Intelligent Transportation System environment. The results have shown that the security solution fits into the domain very well and performs as per expectations. The solution has been tested on a Vehicle Tracking Device connected to a vehicle. The same solution can be extended to a fleet of vehicles.

The last two decades have brought stable and impressive development accompanied by the industry acceptance of the use of high energy techniques based on energy obtained from explosive detonation energy. Such manufacturing processes are not only commercially viable, but also allow complex product shapes and unique combinations of metal sheets in terms of materials to be obtained; they enable the creation of composites which cannot be obtained by other conventional methods. Plated sheets are composed of a base material and a thinner plating material layer. An essential aspect in the validation of explosive welding is the quality control of joints made using this technology. The basic control methods are destructive tests – mainly metallographic, which reveal the microstructure at the connection boundary. Non-destructive tests, used in industrial practice, are classical, normalised ultrasonic tests of welding joints, conducted in accordance with ISO 17640:2017 and ISO 11666:2018 standards. Due to the relatively low thickness of the explosion-tested layers (2 mm and 3 mm single layers), which is the object of this study, assessing them using widely available ultrasonic techniques is limited. According to current scientific studies, the application of the scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) is a prospective non-destructive method allowing for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the continuity of the metallic connection on the contact surface of two materials. This paper presents the results of research on the quality of clads, welded explosively using a non-destructive research technique, namely SAM, verified with metallographic tests.
A Novel Feedback Linearisation Control of Flyback Converter
Authors: Csizmadia Miklos , Kuczmann Miklos
Published: January 2023

This paper presents a novel approach for feedback linearisation in a continuous conduction mode (CCM) of the flyback converter. Due to the unstable zero dynamics, a flyback converter has highly non-linear behaviour. Flyback converters mostly use the indirect (current) control mechanism. In contrast, this paper shows a direct control of the output voltage of a flyback converter with feedback linearisation (a non-linear control method). In the designed controller, an error integrator is applied to improve the dynamic and steady-state behaviour of the controller. To design the feedback linearisation method, the state-space averaged model is determined. The converter and the proposed control are tested in a MatLab/Simulink environment, and the results are compared with other optimal controller methods. The results provide feedback about the efficiency and practical implementation of the proposed method.
Technology and the initial participation of teachers in education: a laboratory experience on Distance Learning in the Primary Education Sciences degree course
Authors: Piccolo Alessandra Lo , Mingrino Marta
Published: January 2023

The social, cultural and economic changes of this century have inevitably also affected the world of education and training, which, therefore, have renewed paths, objectives and goals.

Internalised knowledge must be re-used creatively in a new context. ‘Knowing’ becomes ‘knowing how’ and then ‘knowing how to be’. Learning is lifelong and is understood as the right/duty of the citizen, who in the globalised world, needs to acquire increasingly specialised skills to face the continuous challenges that modern society offers.

In this perspective, technology should not be exclusively understood in its most technical dimension; it is a precious opportunity for training and learning-teaching. In other words, this work intends to highlight the multi-dimensionality that distinguishes it and allows every teacher, who knows how to use it consciously, to variegate and personalise their educational proposal.

The laboratory, which is intended as a new didactic space, becomes a privileged place for the educational relationship between teachers and learners, who, supported by technology, creatively reach the objectives set out.
