Published: May 2024

Introduction: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is considered as the first-line therapy for pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). The points to be kept in mind about the disease and its treatment were reviewed with current research and presented together with our clinical experience on the effectiveness of the BAL procedure.
Methods: Patients with diagnosis of PAP were included. Total of 15 BALs were applied to 6 patients. Preoperative and 3rd postoperative hour arterial blood gas values were recorded. In addition to the partial oxygen pressures (PaO2), the ratio of the difference to the preoperative value was also evaluated and the lavage volumes of all patients were recorded.
Results: A general significant increase in PaO2 was observed compared to pre-treatment. The correlation between the PaO2 change and the lavage volume per side was interpreted as a remarkable result even though statistical significance was not determined.
Conclusion: A positive correlation between PaO2 change and lavage volume were observed. This may be a precursor to the idea that continuing lavage for a while after the lavage fluid has cleared improves the quality of the process.
Analysis of the Application and Potential of Renewable Energy in Landscape Architecture
Authors: Ya Wei Wu
Published: May 2024

The field of landscape architecture is constantly evolving to address sustainability and climate change. There is a rising chance to use these technology into landscape design as renewable energy sources become more prevalent. An effective technique for evaluating the possibility of incorporating renewable energy management into landscape architecture is currently required. As a result, decision-making procedures are now manual and subjective, requiring greater precision and consistency. Deep learning algorithms can be used to examine the possibilities for renewable energy management in landscape architecture, which would help to solve this problem. Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that automatically extracts complicated relationships and patterns from data using multi-layer neural networks. With inputs like topography, solar radiation, and climate, the algorithm can determine where in a particular landscape renewable energy installations would be most effective.
Multiple Data Sources in Reliability Assessment of Distribution Networks
Authors: Qilin Wu
Published: May 2024

Since distribution networks provide the regular and secure transmission of power to consumers, its dependability is essential to the smooth operation of modern society. Conventional techniques for evaluating these networks' dependability have depended on a single data source, such as historical outage statistics. The capacity to combine many data sources into dependability evaluation has been possible due to technological improvements and the abundance of available data. This allows for a more thorough and precise understanding of network performance. This technical abstract proposes a methodology for incorporating multiple data sources in the reliability assessment of distribution networks. It is to identify and collect various data sources such as weather data, customer complaints, equipment maintenance records, and outage data. These data sources are then integrated and analyzed using statistical and machine learning algorithms to identify patterns and correlations that can provide insights into the network's reliability.

Authors: Xiang Meng
Published: May 2024

A major concern in the field of landscape architecture is sustainable development. The goal of this strategy is to provide design solutions that satisfy current demands without jeopardizing the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own. The viewpoint of energy and environmental management is crucial for achieving sustainable development in landscape architecture. Energy management is essential to landscape architecture because it involves resource efficiency, reducing energy usage, and integrating renewable energy sources. It includes incorporating strategies like passive solar design, proper material selection, and the use of green infrastructure systems. These practices not only promote eco-friendly designs but also reduce the cost of maintenance and operation in the long term. Environmental management focuses on preserving and enhancing the natural environment through sustainable land use practices.
A Novel Multilevel Inverter for Renewable Energy Applications with Optimized Controller and Reduced Switches
Authors: B. Thejasvi
Published: May 2024

Multilevel converters have the capability of handling high power as well as deliver output with reduced harmonics.  So they can be implemented with renewable energy sources to produce multilayer output with symmetric cascade arrangement with reduced switches.  Here the control technique is developed in such a way to reduce the harmonics in the grid integrated PV system.  The paper proposes optimized Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID) controller for a seven level reduced switch multilevel inverter.  The War Strategy Optimization Algorithm (WSOA) which utilizes optimizing the strategic movements of armed forces (assault and defend) towards the final optimal value is used to optimize the FOPID controller.  This WSOA algorithm is used to adjust the gain parameters of the FOPID controller there by improving the system performance.  The characteristics of grid connected PV system are regulated by implementing this suggested technique.  The projected approach is incorporated using MATLAB / Simulink and the performances are evaluated and compared with the conventional techniques like GA – PID and WSOA – PID controllers.

Published: May 2024

TürkçeNörodejeneratif hastalıklar arasında kompleks bir immünopatolojiye sahip olan Multipl Skleroz (MS)’un tedavisinde birçok faktörün dikkate alınması gerekmektedir. Bu çok faktörlü hastalıktaki klinik bulgular miyelin kaybının ilerlemesine, enflamasyonun evresine, aksonların durumuna ve oligodendrosit öncü hücrelerinin aktivitesine bağlıdır. Uzun yıllardır süregelen yoğun çalışmalara rağmen hastalığın çok faktörlü oluşu ve kan-beyin engeli (KBE) gibi ilaçların beyne ulaşmasını engelleyen yapılar nedeniyle henüz kesin bir tedavi bulunamamıştır. Bu durum, bilim insanlarını yeni yaklaşımlar aramaya yönlendirmiştir. Yapılan araştırmalarda genellikle nanotaşıyıcı olarak adlandırılan nano boyuttaki farmasötik taşıyıcıların MS’nin yalnızca teşhisinde değil aynı zamanda tedavisinde de rol üstlenebileceğini göstermiştir. MS’nin tedavisi için klinik öncesi in vitro ve in vivo çalışmalarla başarılı olduğu gösterilen bu sistemlerin klinik uygulamaya geçiş yapabilmesi için çalışmalar yoğun bir şekilde devam etmektedir. Bu derlemede MS tedavisine yönelik nanotaşıyıcılar konusunda literatürde yer alan en güncel gelişmeler değerlendirilmiştir.
Grain Futures Market Response to the Black Sea Grain Initiative
Authors: Steinbach Sandro , Yildirim Yasin
Published: May 2024

This paper assesses the impact of the Black Sea Grain Initiative on the grain futures market. We rely on counterfactual evaluation techniques and detailed futures price series to estimate how corn and wheat futures prices and historical volatility responded to the Grain Deal enforcement, renewals, and termination. Our event study estimates reveal that market participants anticipated the impact of the Black Sea Grain Initiative. This anticipation is evident from the declining trend in grain futures prices aligned with the EU Solidarity Lanes, implying that commodity traders factored in the Grain Deal’s effects on grain futures price dynamics. Our analysis also uncovers a limited market response to the subsequent renewals and termination of the Grain Deal. Commodity traders did not perceive the Russian threat of withdrawing from the Grain Deal as a primary market risk. These findings expand our understanding of commodity trader behavior and market sentiment under the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
Contemporary Czech LGBT+ literature: The example of Muffin and Tea and Cupcakes and Conspirators
Authors: MM Milan Mašát
Published: May 2024

Based on a qualitative content analysis, we present two loosely related artistic narratives, Muffin and Tea (2018) and Cupcakes and Conspirators (2019) by Theo Addair, which belong to the current stream of contemporary young adult literature in which homosexuality is thematized. We have focused on selected narrative lines that relate to the themes of literary representations of homosexuality in contemporary intentional literature.  Before the analysis, we set four questions: 1. How is the theme of homosexuality presented in these two works; 2. What is the originality of these artistic narratives; 3. How does the author portray the main characters in relation to their perception of themselves; 4. Are these works relevant to the issue of self-acceptance and acceptance by contemporary society in the area of minority sexual orientation? We conclude that sexual minority issues are depicted in these narratives in conjunction with the adolescents´ societal backgrounds, with the main theme presented alongside other minority characteristics or handicaps that affect the adolescents´ self-acceptance. It is in the accentuation of I other themes that we see the relevance of the publications for contemporary adolescent readers.

The research is aimed at establishing a training model for bachelor’s-level novice group leaders, followed by measuring its effect on the training. We adopted a one-group pretest-posttest design for 20 bachelor’s novice group leaders. ""Group Counseling Leadership Scale"" was employed to measure participants’ group leadership before and after the course, and again three months later in a follow-up test. The results showed that the participants significantly improve in the group counseling competence in a stable and long-term manner. The performances of the five dimensions in group counseling competence were slightly different. Participants’ preparation skills before group counseling practicum showed significant growth (p < .001) and exhibited extended effects. Participants also showed significant growth in group process leading skills and professional code of ethics in group counseling (p < .05). However, participants showed no significant growth in leaders’ psychology, behavioral traits, and theoretical basis. This training course is indeed a significant help for the participants’ group leadership competence. In addition, the improvement of pre-group preparation skills had a long-term effect, and the total score of leadership competence did not drop in the tracking test.

The suggestions are made in the study for the follow-up research: (1) For teaching the course, the group supervision hours may be extended or the group supervision can be combined with individual supervision; (2) for research, a mixed-methods research can be adopted. In addition to quantitative evaluation, qualitative research methods can be carried out for systematic analysis. As such we can clearly see the factors that promote the training effect of group counseling practice courses on novice leaders.

 
Cambio de horario y riesgo cardiovascular
Authors: Quijada R. Alonso
Published: May 2024

The impact of light on our society is significant, influencing our central nervous system through natural light’s role in regulating circadian rhythms. Daylight Saving Time (DST) is often justified for energy savings, particularly in residential lighting. The central nervous system’s master biological clock, located in the hypothalamus, synchronizes peripheral clocks, including those in the cardiovascular system. Desynchronization between endogenous circadian systems and environmental cycles increases cardiovascular risk. The springtime DST change exacerbates social jet lag, leading to sleep debt, sympathetic activation, and increased proinflammatory cytokines. Studies show a temporary increase in myocardial infarction rates in the week following the springtime shift. From a health perspective, there’s growing evidence of negative effects on human metabolism and physiology due to changes in lighting schedules.
A Case Study: Innovating Energy Dissipation In Ogee Spillways With Modified Ski Jump Designs
Authors: Bhuinyan Shilpi Sippi , Sinha Anand Kr. , Bhagate Kiran
Published: May 2024

The kinetic energy of the flood water released from the crest to the toe of the ogee spillway is abundant in the foot of the spillway. The spillway structure will erode and collapse as a result. Aside from the limitations of energy dissipation and the difficulty of cleaning, most of the waste disposal methods use different types of power cutters. For this reason, a suitable power outlet is required to limit the kinetic energy in the spillway and securely transfer additional water to the end of the stream. Producing runoff into a motorway jet and directing it to a spot where the impact forms a submerged pond below the stream is one of the most powerful and cost-effective ways to discharge hydroelectric power. When the departure speed rises, the jump is a common feature of dam collapse. Froude No. 2 flow path used to determine bucket length as well as device angle. In this paper, advanced ski-energy jump type energy dissipator parameters have been used to obtain additional destruction to reduce erosion of the Maithon dam in Dhanbad (Jharkhand), India. Trajectory length, height, horizontal and flexible impact, variable impact pressure distribution, medium flexible impact head, impact speed head, and air inflow are all important factors to consider.

Employee attrition occurs when a worker leaves a company to join another firm for a better offer. It might also be referred to as Employee Defection. Representative downsizing is likely to be significant when there is a pressing demand for workers in a particular industry due to mass retirements or organizational growth. At one point, the programming industry had significant attrition rates due to abundant job opportunities in the software sector driven by the demand for software products across all industries. Reducing the employee attrition rate is a challenging challenge faced by HR managers. This study provides a clear viewpoint on predicting employee turnover using Machine Learning methods. The projection is completed using data obtained from IBM HR analysis. We employed Logistic Regression for the analysis and achieved an accuracy rate of 87%.
