The value of IL-6 in cerebrospinal fluid for determining the development of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage
Authors: Kaliuzhka V.
Published: October 2024

An inflammatory response following aneurysmal SubArachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH) plays a significant role in the development of cerebral vasospasm. This study analyzes the correlation between the level of InterLeukin-6 (IL-6) in CerebroSpinal Fluid (CSF) after aSAH and the occurrence of cerebral vasospasm. We analyzed clinical manifestations, laboratory data, and instrumental examination methods in 45 patients who were treated for intracranial aSAH within 21 days, studying the relationship between the development of cerebral angiospasm and the concentration of the inflammatory factor. We found the potential significance of IL-6 in predicting vasospasm, confirmed by cerebral angiography. As a control, we analyzed the CSF samples of 15 patients treated for unruptured cerebral aneurysms. According to the study results, vasospasm developed in 44% of patients, on average on the 6th day from the onset of the disease. Patients with aSAH demonstrated statistically significant (p<0.05) higher mean IL-6 values in CSF on the 3rd, 7th, and 10th days compared to the control group. Patients with vasospasm showed statistically significant (p<0.05) higher mean IL-6 values in CSF on the 3rd day, while the differences on the 7th and 10th days (p<0.05) were not statistically significant. The threshold value for predicting the formation of cerebral vasospasm was determined to be 325 pg/ml on the 3rd day from the onset of the disease. We concluded that IL-6 in cerebrospinal fluid is a potential early marker for predicting vascular spasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage on the 3rd day of the disease, before the onset of clinical manifestations. We concluded that monitoring the value of IL-6 in the cerebrospinal fluid on the third day after aneurysm rupture is potentially significant for the early diagnosis of vasospasm.

The research aims to evaluate the solidity of the washing colour of a garment printed with flexible filaments on 3D
printers. Three groups of factors have been selected: Anet A8 and M3D Crane Quad printer, temperature (49° and 71°C)
and flexible filaments TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and TPU (polyurethane thermoplastic), framed in the factorial
design, type applied of 10 units per combination of factors in a total of 80 sampling units, using Girowah equipment
according to the technical standard AATCC TM61-2020. The results show that the printer factors Anet A8 and M3D
Crane Quad with the CIELab and CMC (2:1) discolouration system exceed 50% in both the tolerances of the value 1.
About the temperature factor (49° and 71°C), which exhibits a discolouration of 1.06 in CIE94 and 1.36 in CMC, it is
determined that the combination with better resistance to discolouration of solidity at washing (CIE94 - 49°C) compared
to CMC (2:1) better establishes the visual and technical concordance of the solidity of colour. As regards flexible filament
types: TPE and TPU, the results show us that the colour tolerance assessments (CIELab CIE94) and (CMC (2,1)) prove
that the TPE filament has greater resistance to the discoloration of the 3D-printed garment at different temperatures. In
conclusion, the solidity of colour washing in a printed garment with flexible filaments in a 3D printer causes discolouration
by the minimum, be it the factors of printer type, filament, and temperature. There is a need for analysis with other values
and it remains open to other research.

Published: October 2024

The existing worldwide information related to the aerial modules used for transporting mulching substances is
particularly pernicious. Thus, at this moment, on an international level, cargo transport solutions for mulching lands
affected by soil drought are limited to identifying the maximum value of the load (1250–4500 kgf), the type of raw
material from which it is made (polyamide), the shape (quadratic, octagonal, rectangular) and its dimensions (2.13 m ×
3 m for a maximum transport capacity of 1250 kgf – 5.5 m × 5.5 m for a maximum transport capacity of 4500 kgf). Also,
among the solutions for protecting lands affected by wildfires, the sowing technique with the help of drones was
identified. Thus, the seeded compost balls are allowed to fall by gravity from the drones, being released randomly in the
demineralised areas, difficult to reach by land transport. The paper presents the latest research of INCDTP specialists
– carried out in the national premiere – regarding the iterative-incremental development of a multi-role collapsible aerial
module that has as its theatre of operations the desertified areas (due to the pedological drought) of Romania. The
central point of the research is focused on: i) the experimentation in the accredited laboratories of INCDTP, of flexible
panels joined by mechanical-textile technology; ii) statistical analysis of values; iii) predicting the minimum values of the
physical-mechanical characteristics of the composite material.
Carbon trading pilot and low-carbon development of China’s textile industry
Authors: PANDENG SHEN , JIANLEI ZHANG , LIN HE
Published: October 2024

To explore whether a carbon trading pilot (CTP) can promote the low-carbon development of China's textile industry
(CTI), this paper used a difference-in-difference model to study the impact of CTP on the carbon emissions in CTI and
further analysed its regional heterogeneity. The research results showed that the impact coefficient of CTP on the carbon
emissions in CTI was significantly negative, indicating that CTP could reduce the carbon emissions in CTI. Robustness
tests such as the Placebo test, replacing the explained variable and the estimation method and excluding the
interference of other policies verified the robustness of the research results. The dynamic regression results revealed
the carbon reduction effect of CTP became stronger as the time of its implementation increased. At the regional level,
CTP could also significantly lower the carbon emissions in the textile industry both in the eastern and western regions,
and the reduction effect in the western region was greater than that in the eastern.
Textile fabric's in-plane water permeability determination during wicking
Authors: BENLTOUFA SOFIEN , ALFALEH AYMAN
Published: October 2024

Based on a mathematical formulation of the water flow for different wicking configurations (ascendant-horizontal and
descendant), a combined ascendant, horizontal and descendant wicking experimental test was designed to provide
detailed measurements of the pertinent wicking performance properties: capillary pressure and in-plane direction
permeability. This method was proposed due to capillary flows found in standard vertical wicking tests as well as
erroneous assumptions made in other wicking tests. The effective capillary radius was assumed to remain constant as
the height of the liquid increases. This assumption would suggest that saturation, capillary pressure, and permeability
are also constants. However, experiments show that these properties are only constants in the case of the descendant
wicking when liquid front height is varied. The capillary pressure and permeability calculations were made using Darcy’s
law and the Lucas-Washburn equation as a function of the saturation level. In the combined wicking test, conducting a
horizontal wicking test allows us to calculate the effective capillary radius of a fabric as the saturation rate was found to
be constant, which in turn can be used to solve for capillary pressure. That capillary pressure can then be used in a
descendant wicking test, where the liquid front flow and the saturation rate remain constant, and Darcy’s law to solve
for permeability. A series of experiments was conducted on cotton jersey knitting. The results showed that the ability to
wick the water depends on pore size and porosity scales: macro and micropores. The in-plane water permeability was
found to be directly related to the saturation rate.

Published: October 2024

The out-of-plane behaviour of 8 different composites exposed to very high deformation rates and non-standard
conditions was investigated in our previous studies. The mechanical properties of these composites have been
evaluated through tests conducted at deformation rates comparable to those experienced during explosions. Based on
the relevant test results, this study conducted a numerical analysis of 3 best-performing Aramid UD GS3000, Artec
Aramid/Woven Aramid CT736, and H62 UD-UHMWPE-reinforced composites. In this regard, LS-DYNA's MAT54 model
was compared with other failure mechanics-based models and preferred because it requires less experimental data and
can simulate damage progression in dynamic failures. Since the samples used in the study were non-standard,
quasi-static tensile and shear tests were performed based on the loads to which the composites would be exposed to
create an accurate numerical analysis. Both tensile and shear strength values of the Artec Aramid/Woven Aramid CT736
composite are higher than those of the Aramid UD GS3000 and H62 UD-UHMWPE composites. When the numerical
analysis results were compared with the tensile test data, compliance rates of 99.84% for Aramid UD GS3000 reinforced
composite, 99.34% for Artec Aramid/Woven Aramid CT736 reinforced composite, and 96.42% for H62 UD-UHMWPE
reinforced composite were determined. The analysis showed that the shear stress-strain curves provided 100%
agreement at the maximum stress value.

Published: October 2024

The present paper aims to highlight the correlations between the comfort indicators of waterproof cotton-based fabrics,
and the specific parameters of unconventional assembly technology. The materials considered include layers of
Gore-Tex film, serving as substitutes for waterproof materials, intended to manufacture outerwear products such as
protective equipment (jackets and overalls), which are breathable waterproof membranes. The comfort indicator values
were obtained through standardised methods, and data processing and representation in two-dimensional (2D) and
three-dimensional (3D) systems using correlation/graphing methods were carried out in Excel software, and using
Jandel Table Curve 3D v2. Although experimental research can be extended to include specific functions related to
durability indicators, this study focused theoretically and experimentally on how the variation in temperature of the
low-pressure hot air jet can lead to changes in the vaporization coefficient, air permeability index, and thermal
conductivity coefficient. The relationship between the comfort indicator values (thermal conductivity coefficient, air
permeability index, and vapour permeability coefficient) of the considered materials and the treatment parameters of the
installation (pressure, temperature, velocity) is expressed through statistically adequate mathematical models,
highlighted by a correlation coefficient R = 0.983, with significance certified by the Fischer test. The study of comfort
indicators was conducted under optimized treatment parameters, ensuring durability and presentation value functions in
the treatment zone remain unchanged compared to those of the base materials.

Implementation of Machine Learning In VLSI Global Routing
Authors: Jyothi M Shirur Dr. Yasha , Nagavalli S Nagavalli S
Published: October 2024

Machine learning (ML) plays a transformative role in VLSI design by automating complex decision-making processes, which traditionally rely on heuristic or rule-based methods. In particular, ML helps address challenges in optimizing parameters like wire length, signal delay, and congestion, which are critical for enhancing design efficiency. Without ML, global routing in VLSI becomes time-consuming and less adaptive to modern design complexity, leading to suboptimal results. In this paper, we have discussed the implementation of ML for congestion prediction using congestion datasets from CircuitNet, enabling dynamic routing decisions based on real-time design conditions. Our model significantly reduces optimization time and improves routing efficiency. The success of the model is highlighted by the ROC-AUC value of 0.92, representing a 92% success rate in predicting and mitigating congestion.

Published: October 2024

The current study analysed how creative and vocational education and training systems are responding to the changing demands of industry competencies that appear to be evolving in response to dramatic shifts in the global economy impacting industries. Creative and vocational education in higher education is all about creativity and innovativeness. These are the most significant attributes that higher fashion education graduates must possess. The descriptive research design was adopted due to the nature of the study as there was a need to compare and analyse the responses from standardised questionnaires through the use of descriptive statistics. The population of this study focused on fashion students from higher education institutions in Ghana as well as some graduates practising their acquired skills in the fashion industry. Questionnaires were employed to gather data. The major empirical findings of this study demonstrate that competencies required most by the industry are higher and more diversified skills followed closely by relevant and valuable higher level skills.

Published: October 2024

This paper sought to determine feedback Technical University Fashion Students on work experiences they acquired during the Semester-Out Industrial Attachment (S-O IA) programme to help document their concerns regarding their experiences. The paper adopted a cross-sectional descriptive survey research design with a mixed method approach and used a semi-structured validated questionnaire for data collection. Purposive, simple random and convenient sampling techniques were used to sample 199 third year HND Fashion Students from five (5) public Technical Universities in Ghana. Data were analysed using SPSS software version 20 to generate frequencies and percentages. It was evident from the results that students acquired skills in all the specialised areas with quite a significant number of them acquiring work experiences in the Garment Manufacture option to the neglect of the other four equally beneficial areas. It was therefore recommended that the Technical Universities demonstrate their commitment to the S-O IA programme by collaborating with diverse companies regarding the various areas of specialisation for the benefit of the TUFSs during the S-O IA in particular.

Published: October 2024

The study assessed the influence of Western culture on traditional costumes in the Volta Region. The descriptive design was employed using one hundred and fifty respondents, with thirty (30) selected from each of the five (5) selected traditional areas for data collection. Questionnaires were the primary data collection instrument administered to the respondents through purposive sampling. The results saw the respondents affirming education, tourism, trade, religion and politics as the main dimensions through which the Western Culture had influenced the traditional costumes in the Volta Region. Out of the religious groups, the respondents who belong to the Islamic religion came first as the most affected religion regarding their ways of dressing. It was recommended that efforts be made to re-engineer the expertise that existed in weaving traditional costumes in the Volta Region and Ghana at large, as this will go a long way to boost the Government efforts in job creation and create avenues for the citizens to be engaged in self-employment activity that will reduce the volume of unemployment and the high demand for hard currency to import foreign clothes.

Published: October 2024

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of complete revascularization and culprit-only revascularization in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) who presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar.
Methodology: A prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted, enrolling 400 patients with multivessel CAD. Patients were randomly assigned to either the complete revascularization group (n=200) or the culprit-only revascularization group (n=200). The primary outcomes assessed included cardiovascular death, reinfarction, and the need for repeat revascularization over a six-month follow-up period. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square tests and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
Results: Complete revascularization significantly reduced the rates of major adverse cardiovascular events compared to culprit-only revascularization. Cardiovascular death was lower in the complete revascularization group (4% vs 9%, p = 0.02), as was reinfarction (5% vs 11%, p = 0.01), and repeat revascularization (7% vs 15%, p = 0.004). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant improvement in event-free survival in the complete revascularization group.
Conclusion: Complete revascularization significantly improves clinical outcomes in patients with multivessel CAD presenting with STEMI, reducing cardiovascular death, reinfarction, and repeat revascularization. This study supports complete revascularization as a preferred treatment strategy in such patients to improve long-term outcomes.

LA VILLE DE RADES. POTENTIALITÉS, VULNERABILITÉ ET ENJEUX DE RÉSILIENCE
Authors: Ferjani Saloua
Published: October 2024

La ville de Rades se situe dans la banlieue sud de Tunis, elle est implantée sur une colline et s’étend en grande partie sur une plaine. Grace à son littoral et à sa foret urbaine, tout laisse croire qu’il s’agit d’une ville de villégiature dotée de maints atouts naturels et paysagers. Or, Rades est actuellement une ville polluée, proscrite de ses plages, menacée par la violation de sa foret, la contamination de son atmosphère et la prolifération de l’habitat informel.  
L’implantation du premier port commercial du pays dans la ville de Rades constitue un atout économique considérable cependant, il renforce la vulnérabilité de la ville suite aux pollutions atmosphérique, sonore et maritime causées par les navires de transport de conteneurs. L’Oued Meliane, deuxième grand fleuve de pays qui traversait la ville et qui en constituait, pour des années, une forte menace par ses débordements et ses inondations, a fait l’objet des grands travaux de dragage et de réaménagement suite à l’implantation de la cité sportive olympique de Rades en 2001. C’est ainsi que fut déclassée une zone agricole de 280 ha donnant naissance à une grande zone résidentielle aménagée par l’Agence foncière d’habitat ce qui offre à la ville une nouvelle extension urbaine planifiée.  
La foret urbaine de Rades, qui s’étalait sur une superficie de 300 ha, est considérée comme un refuge naturel et urbain pour la population de la zone sud de Tunis. Or, cette dernière risquait de subir un acte de violation en 2017 lors de la programmation d’une bretelle d’autoroute en plein milieu. Le projet programmé par le Ministère de l’Equipement et de l’Habitat entrainera la destruction d’un écosystème, le déboisement de 6000 arbres et l’agression de l’emprise du Parc urbain Farhat Hached. Il a entrainé une réaction de contestation radicale de la population et de la société civile de la banlieue sud en vue de sauver la ville et préserver son poumon vert. L’article analyse cette dichotomie des atouts et les contraintes de la ville et explique en quoi ces éléments participent soit à sa vulnérabilité ou sa résilience.
LE DIAGNOSTIC TERRITORIAL ET SES PARTICULARITÉS DANS LE PROCESSUS DE L’AMÉNAGEMENT DU TERRITOIRE AU LIBAN
Authors: Abi Akl Jawad
Published: October 2024

Le présent article vise à se demander pourquoi la majorité des diagnostics territoriaux au Liban ne sont pas élaborés selon les normes supposées les régir, et quand ils sont correctement établis, pourquoi ils n’aboutissent pas à des projets d’aménagement pertinents. Pour se faire, il est question d’approfondir plusieurs enjeux relatifs à l’élaboration des diagnostics, comme la collecte et l’analyse des données, le cadre de l’étude et les indicateurs d’évaluation. Il est aussi question de comprendre les spécificités du territoire libanais qui compliquent l’élaboration des diagnostics territoriaux. L’analyse des données territoriales au Liban s’opère dans un contexte très particulier aux niveaux politique, social et géographique. Le système politique encore centralisé du pays, ne permet pas aux communes de gérer le processus de l’aménagement du territoire. Les projets d’aménagement sont gérés par la direction générale de l’urbanisme et confiés à des bureaux d’études. Ces derniers opèrent des diagnostics territoriaux sans aucune participation de la part des citoyens, puisque ce concept n’est pas encore inclus dans le processus d’aménagement du territoire au Liban. Des organisations non-gouvernementales tentent d’opérer des diagnostics adéquats, mais ces derniers restent sans aucun effet puisque les autorités publiques ne les prennent pas en considération. Dans ce contexte, il est intéressant d’aborder le problème de plusieurs facettes, en essayant d’approfondir certaines questions comme celles des indicateurs d’évaluation des enjeux territoriaux, de la mise en place de nouveaux mécanismes de participation citoyenne, et des caractéristiques morphologique et sociales du territoire libanais.

East Java is one of the provinces that serve as major producers of food commodities, particularly rice. In 2023, a total of 9.59 million tons of rice were harvested, with a productivity rate per hectare reaching 56.90 quintals. Lamongan was the leading regency in production in 2023, achieving 797.02 thousand tons. It is undeniable that this success is closely linked to the use of chemical substances (pesticides). Improper use of pesticides can trigger poisoning. A 2008 study reported an organophosphate pesticide poisoning rate of 50% among farmers in Sumberejo. Indiscriminate use of pesticides can lead to neurological health issues and hormonal effects. The presence of organophosphate pesticides in the body can be identified by elevated levels of cholinesterase in the blood. The approach method used in this community service involves conducting outreach to enhance farmers' understanding and knowledge about the dangers of pesticides, thereby fostering behavioral changes for the better. The aim of this activity is to increase farmers' knowledge and understanding of the signs or symptoms of organophosphate pesticide poisoning, as well as its management, handling actions for poisoning, and preventive measures using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This activity certainly involves all relevant government and health institutions that support the initiative.
