Authors: Loiko V. A. , Safin A. R. , Boburkov A. A.
Published: March 2024

Introduction. Modern radio engineering systems impose strict requirements on the stability of the frequency of microwave oscillation sources (microwave generators) included in their composition. However, microwave oscillators (on dielectric resonators or resonators on surface acoustic waves), despite the low levels of power spectral density of frequency fluctuations of the generated signals, fail to exhibit the frequency stability required for most precision applications (phase noise meters, aircraft radars, ultra-low-noise frequency synthesizers). It is possible to increase the frequency stability of such oscillators, e.g., by using of a phase-locked loop system; however, for its implementation, as a rule, an electronic frequency tuning unit should be included in the microwave oscillator. The introduction of such a unit into the microwave oscillator can lead to degradation of its other electrical characteristics, e.g., the power spectral density of frequency fluctuations of the generated signals.

Aim. Development of a method for synthesizing electronic frequency tuning blocks with the required range of introduced phase shift and minimal intrinsic power loss for narrow-band microwave oscillators with resonators based on surface acoustic waves.

Materials and methods. The synthesis of electronic frequency tuning blocks is carried out by a numerical-analytical method using the MATLAB (academic license no. 906991) environment. The obtained results are analyzed by a comparative method.

Results. The paper presents a methodology for synthesizing electronic frequency tuning blocks with the required range of changes in the introduced phase shift while maintaining minimal insertion losses, which makes it possible to consider the intrinsic parasitic parameters of the varactor. Recommendations on the correct choice of varactors are given. A comparative analysis of calculated and practical results is carried out. The electronic frequency tuning unit was implemented on the basis of "Radiocomp" in 2023.

Conclusion. The presented methodology for synthesizing electronic frequency tuning blocks is versatile and can be used not only for the synthesis of electronic frequency tuning blocks of various narrow-band microwave oscillators using twoport resonators as a frequency-setting element, but also for the synthesis of narrow-band microwave phase shifters.

Authors: Kutuzov V. M. , Veremyev V. I. , Tuan Nguyen Van , Vorobev E. N.
Published: March 2024

Introduction. Passive radars perform target detection based on reflected signals emitted by third-party transmitters. The absence of its own transmitter determines the main advantages of passive radars compared to conventional active radars: lower cost, silent operation, no electromagnetic impact on other radio equipment and the environment. Third-party transmitters of different telecommunication systems are currently used as illuminators of opportunity in passive radars. The emergence of new telecommunication standards opens additional prospects for the development of passive radars. For instance, the deployment of the fifth generation of mobile communications standard 5G with a higher bandwidth can potentially improve the accuracy of target detection in passive radars. Investigating the possibility of using signals from 5G transmitters for radar targets illumination is a relevant research task.

Aim. To analyze the possibilities, limitations and prospects of using 5G signals as illuminators of opportunity in passive radar systems.

Materials and methods. The methods of passive radar theory, communication theory, and comparative analysis were used. Evaluation of potential characteristics of target detection was carried out using computer statistical modelling in the MATLAB environment.

Results. The peculiarities of 5G signals from the point of view of their application as illumination signals in passive radars are investigated. The potential target detection characteristics of a passive radar using 5G signals for target illumination are evaluated and compared with those of passive radars operating on signals from other transmitters. The 5G signal provides an improved range and velocity resolution than signals from other telecommunication systems.

Conclusion. The comparative analysis shows that 5G NR signal transmitters can be used as a promising source of illumination in passive radar systems over relatively small areas.

Authors: Vagin A. V. , Vorotyntseva A. S.
Published: March 2024

Introduction. Directional drilling is a conventional method for trenchless installation of underground communications, exploration of solid minerals, and geological exploration. These tasks can be implemented using a directional drilling installation equipped with a high-precision unit for determining the drilling head coordinates to match the current and specified drilling routes. The problem of obtaining precise coordinates (depth, zenith, azimuth) of the drilling head is a priority task in trenchless drilling. We previously considered an acoustic method for monitoring the drilling head position in a directional drilling device. In this work, we consider a radar complex for monitoring the drilling head position from the surface of the earth with fixed transponder beacons. The radar method for obtaining such information allows the drilling process to be optimized by increasing the positioning accuracy, providing for constant automatic position monitoring, as well as reducing the time and financial costs.

Aim. To demonstrate the possibility of constructing a radar complex for obtaining information about positioning of the drilling head of a directional drilling installation based on transponder beacons distributed on the surface of the earth.

Materials and methods. The study was based on the physical principles used in mobile systems, i.e., determining the location of the probe and its parameters using radio signals emitted by the probe in the frequency range of tens of kHz, to minimize the influence of soil inhomogeneities.

Results. The possibility of using the radar method for obtaining the drilling head coordinates when monitoring its position during drilling operations was studied. The operational principle of such a radar complex was considered; the schemes of positioning transponder beacons on the surface of the earth and relative to the drilling head were developed; a technology for supporting drilling operations using this method was described.

Conclusion. We propose an approach to determining the drilling head coordinates and their automatic monitoring in real time. The proposed approach to constructing a high-precision radar information transmission complex can be used in the design and modernization of directional drilling equipment.
A Utopian interpretation of child labor motifs in Hayao Miyazaki's animation
Authors:   Academic Association of Global Cultural Contents, Kim Kihong
Published: March 2024

This study is a critique of the work of renowned Japanese animation director Hayao Miyazaki, specifically the recurring motif of child labor in his works. First, the recurring images of labor in his works are conceptualized as motifs in the narrative sense. In particular, it is noted that motifs are typically constructed through the repetition of key acts, which combine with each other to form and reinforce themes, and serve as the central core of a plot, the principle that forms the constitutive events. In other words, the labor motif is a principle of narrative organization. Analytic frame is suggested by drawing on Aristotle's theory of character and the theory of agency, the ability of an entity to cause an event. Applying this frame to Hayao's early works, Kiki the Witch Courier and Spirited Away, child labor motif in terms of the self-creative agency in agency theory and the plot-intensive motif of motif theory are analyzed. Through this analysis, it is clear that the labor motif is not only the attraction of the characters in Hayao's works, but also the core and driving principle of the narrative. Finally, as the philosophical origin of the labor motif, Hayao's view of labor is interpreted by using utopian views of labor, such as Fourier's, which are often found in early socialist discussions, as a framework for interpretation.

Neural versus pneumatic control of pressure support in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases at different levels of positive end expiratory pressure: a physiological study
Authors: Unknown Author
Published: March 2024

Introduction
Intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi) is a “threshold” load that must be overcome to trigger conventional pneumatically-controlled pressure support (PSP) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Application of extrinsic PEEP (PEEPe) reduces trigger delays and mechanical inspiratory efforts. Using the diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi), neurally controlled pressure support (PSN) could hypothetically eliminate asynchrony and reduce mechanical inspiratory effort, hence substituting the need for PEEPe. The primary objective of this study was to show that PSN can reduce the need for PEEPe to improve patient-ventilator interaction and to reduce both the “pre-trigger” and “total inspiratory” neural and mechanical efforts in COPD patients with PEEPi. A secondary objective was to evaluate the impact of applying PSN on breathing pattern.

Methods
Twelve intubated and mechanically ventilated COPD patients with PEEPi ≥ 5 cm H2O underwent comparisons of PSP and PSN at different levels of PEEPe (at 0 %, 40 %, 80 %, and 120 % of static PEEPi, for 12 minutes at each level on average), at matching peak airway pressure. We measured flow, airway pressure, esophageal pressure, and EAdi, and analyzed neural and mechanical efforts for triggering and total inspiration. Patient-ventilator interaction was analyzed with the NeuroSync index.

Results
Mean airway pressure and PEEPe were comparable for PSP and PSN at same target levels. During PSP, the NeuroSync index was 29 % at zero PEEPe and improved to 21 % at optimal PEEPe (P < 0.05). During PSN, the NeuroSync index was lower (<7 %, P < 0.05) regardless of PEEPe. Both pre-trigger (P < 0.05) and total inspiratory mechanical efforts (P < 0.05) were consistently higher during PSP compared to PSN at same PEEPe. The change in total mechanical efforts between PSP at PEEPe0% and PSN at PEEPe0% was not different from the change between PSP at PEEPe0% and PSP at PEEPe80%.

Conclusion
PSN abolishes the need for PEEPe in COPD patients, improves patient-ventilator interaction, and reduces the inspiratory mechanical effort to breathe.

All these designs were 3-D modeled in CATIA-V5 software and were verified by performing ANSYS Finite Element analysis software on these respective 3-D CAD models. The report then provides a detailed comparison between these designs and ultimately provides final design for each component. Finally, the report provides few brief concepts on how this project can be applied and improved in future.
Design of a Geometric Backrest Surface Parameterization Tool
Authors: Mistry Keyur
Published: March 2024

This undergraduate thesis pertains to the design of a parameterized tool intended for the modelling of business aircraft seat backrests. Backrests of seats vary in shape and size as per varying designs for optimal comfortability based on studies of spinal anthropometry. The overall study of backrest comfortability is of great significance due to the role it plays in the marketability and revenue generation of a business airlines. One of the ways in which backrest comfortability can be evaluated is through the biomechanical analysis of the pressure distributions amongst the surface. Hence, a parametric tool was developed as a means to provide a modular method for easily generating a geometric backrest surface and corresponding point cloud. This was achieved by determining prominent input parameters in a simplistic manner based on a literature review, developing a feasible methodology to define the backrest shape based on the inputs, and generating a corresponding three-dimensional fit of the backrest surface. As a means of validation, the tool was tested to generate backrest surfaces as per reference data, and comparisons were drawn based on error analysis between the actual surface and the tool-generated surface. Although the developed tool is not as robust as can be at this point in time, based on research of existing business aircraft seat backrests, it is able to provide fairly accurate geometric surfaces within a reasonable realm of user-inputted parameters. Contained in this report is an overview of the parametric tool design philosophy, a thorough description of its methodology, and error analysis with respect to reference data, as well as the corresponding MATLAB code(s) contained in the appendices.

Authors: Hu Xinyi , He Pei , Jiang Tong , Shen Jilu
Published: March 2024

Norovirus is highly infectious and rapidly transmissible and represents a major pathogen of sporadic cases and outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, causing a substantial disease burden. Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in norovirus outbreaks in China, significantly higher than in previous years, among which GII norovirus is the predominant prevalent strain. Therefore, rapid norovirus diagnosis is critical for clinical treatment and transmission control. Hence, we developed a molecular assay based on RPA combined with the CRISPER-CAS12a technique targeting the conserved region of the GII norovirus genome, the results of which could be displayed by fluorescence curves and immunochromatographic lateral-flow test strips. The reaction only required approximately 50 min, and the results were visible by the naked eye with a sensitivity reaching 102 copies/μl. Also, our method does not cross-react with other common pathogens that cause intestinal diarrhea. Furthermore, this assay was easy to perform and inexpensive, which could be widely applied for detecting norovirus in settings including medical institutions at all levels, particularly township health centers in low-resource areas.

Published: March 2024

Hypertension is a health problem that continues to increase in prevalence. Several studies showed that hypertension is related to conditions of oxidative stress which can be caused by increased levels of uric acid in the blood. The aim of this study was to analyze the role of uric acid levels in the development of blood pressure from prehypertension to hypertension. This study is a literature review of the results from cohort studies related to the relationship between serum uric acid levels on the development of prehypertension to hypertension.This study was based on the results of the identification from articles in the Google Scholar with the search keywords “Uric acid serum predict prehypertension to hypertension cohort” with inclusion criteria such as full text in PDF format, english, and span of the last ten years (2013-2023). There were 3 international journal articles which showed that increased uric acid levels could affect the development of prehypertension blood pressure into hypertension. Blood pressure belonging to prehypertension with hyperuricemia had a greater incidence of hypertension than the group without hyperuricemia (P<0,001). Prehypertension accompanied by hyperuricemia had a 2 times greater risk of developing hypertension within 2 years (OR, 2.02; P<0,05). Increased uric acid levels that occured over time also predicted the development of the prehypertensive blood pressure category to become hypertension independently (OR, 1.41 ; P<0,0001). Based on the results of the literature review, it was concluded that high serum uric acid levels or hyperuricemia is a risk factor for the development of prehypertension to hypertension.

Children with Intellectual Disabilities have a higher risk of oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases compared to other children. Therefore, efforts are needed to help maximize the prevention of these diseases. The abundance of herbal materials in the community, which have been proven to have antibacterial effects, has been increasingly formulated into toothpaste. This is expected not only to provide a mechanical cleaning effect on plaque but also to have antibacterial effects and inhibit plaque growth for a longer period in the oral cavity.This research aims to determine the difference in subgingival bacterial colonies after brushing teeth with various herbal-containing toothpaste in children with intellectual disabilities. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental pre-post control group design. Subgingival fluid samples were taken from respondents aged 6-12 years before and after brushing their teeth with four groups: (K) without toothpaste, (A) toothpaste containing betel leaves (Piper betle Linn.), (B) toothpaste containing Miswak (Salvadora persica), and (C) toothpaste containing Clove (Eugenia caryophyllus). The samples were then cultured in Plate Count Agar media for 48 hours. Colony counting was performed using the Total Plate Count (TPC) method with a Colony Counter. Statistical analysis was conducted using Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests.The results of the study showed a decrease in the number of CFUs (colony-forming units) after brushing teeth. Significant reductions were obtained in toothpaste B (p-value = 0.046) and toothpaste C (p-value = 0.028). In conclusion, toothpaste containing Miswak and Clove effectively reduces the number of bacterial colonies formed in subgingival fluid samples..

Kristen Gray is a foreign citizen who comes from the United States, she became controversial because of statements on her personal social media which promoted and invited other foreign nationals to follow her, where she lives in Bali cheaply but can feel luxury in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic crisis and stating that Indonesia is a country that is friendly to the LGBT community or people, meanwhile in Indonesia itself, this issue is still very taboo. After being checked by immigration officers, it was discovered that he was also working in Indonesia, namely selling electronic books and opening a consulting service on how to enter Indonesia in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic illegally, at which time human movement was strictly restricted to reduce the spread of this virus. Based on this, he and his LGBT partner were finally deported from Indonesia for allegedly violating Article 75 paragraph (1) of Law no. 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration, which in essence he is suspected of not complying with the laws currently in force in Indonesia and disrupting public notifications.
