Published: July 2022

Background: Recent advances occurred in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers and the introduction of a research framework grounded on a biomarker-based definition of AD might have fostered an increased clinical use of AD biomarkers. For this reason, an up-to-date depiction of the clinical use of AD biomarkers is needed. Objective: To investigate the clinical use of the main AD biomarkers in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by examining the beliefs and preferences of professionals (clinicians and biomarker experts) of the European Alzheimer’s Disease Consortium (EADC). Methods: 150 professionals filled in an online survey from May to September 2020. The investigated biomarkers were medial temporal lobe atrophy score (MTA) on structural MRI, typical AD (i.e., temporoparietal and posterior cingulate) hypometabolism on FDG-PET, CSF (Aβ42, p-tau, t-tau), amyloid-PET and tau-PET. Results: The frequency of responders reporting a frequent-to-constant use of MTA (77%) is higher than that of those reporting a frequent-to-constant use of the other AD biomarkers (i.e., CSF: 45%, p = 0.014; FDG-PET: 32%, p < 0.001; amyloid-PET: 8%, p < 0.001; and tau-PET: 2%, p < 0.001). CSF is considered the most valuable biomarker in terms of additional diagnostic value, followed by amyloid-PET, tau-PET, and typical AD hypometabolism on FDG-PET. Conclusion: AD biomarkers are widely used across European memory clinics with a clinical research background for the diagnosis of MCI. Overall, we observed that CSF is currently considered as the most useful biomarker, followed by amyloid-PET.

Published: July 2022

Skewed slots are widely used in many industrial applications because they can effectively reduce electromagnetic vibration and noise. In order to eliminate axial electromagnetic force in ordinary skewed slots rotor, a double skewed slot was proposed, which can useful reduce axial electromagnetic force and is superior to traditional skewed slots on reducing the electromagnetic vibration and noise. However, it still suffers from the problem of the difficult manufacturing process in large-sized submersible motors. In this paper, a radial skewed slot to reduce the electromagnetic vibration and noise is proposed, which has the advantages of a simple manufacturing process and obvious effect about reducing noise. Large-sized submersible motors are noisier than ordinary motors but lack effective means to reduce electromagnetic vibration and noise. So this paper adopts 2-D FFT and multi-physics coupling analysis method to analyze and compare the performances of the straight slot and the radial skewed slot in large-sized submersible motors.
ANFIS-BCMO technique for energy management and consumption of energy forecasting in smart grid with internet of things
Authors: Balasubramanian C. , Lal Raja Singh R.
Published: July 2022

This paper proposes an efficient energy management approach for managing the demand response and energy forecasting in a smart grid using Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed energy management approach is the hybrid technique that is the joint execution of adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and balancing composite motion optimization (BCMO), thus it is called ANFIS-BCMO technique. An energy management approach is developed using price-based demand response (DR) program for IoT-enabled residential buildings. Then, we devised a approach depends on ANFIS-BCMO technique to systematically manage the energy use of smart devices in IoT-enabled residential buildings by programming to relieve peak-to-average ratio (PAR), diminish electricity cost, and increase user comfort (UC). This maximizes effective energy utilization, which in turn increases the sustainability of IoT-enabled residential buildings on smart cities. The ANFIS-BCMO technique automatically responds to price-based DR programs to combat the main problem of DR programs that is the limitation of the consumer’s knowledge to respond when receiving DR signals. For consumers, the proposed ANFIS-BCMO based strategy programs appliances to exploit benefit based on reduced electricity bill. By then, the proposed method increases the stability of the electrical system by smoothing the demand curve. At last, the proposed model is executed on MATLAB/Simulink platform and the proposed method is compared with existing systems.
Thirty years on, the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics remain the shared foundation of an informed society
Authors: Willis-Núñez Fiona , Ćwiek Małgorzata
Published: July 2022

Arising from a need to create and communicate a common mission for official statistics in a period of radical change in the UNECE region and the world, the Fundamental Principles continue to represent the best of international cooperation 30 years on. This paper was prepared as part of a UNECE-coordinated effort to mark the 30th anniversary of the development and adoption of the Principles in the UNECE region. Beginning with an exploration of how and why the Principles were created in the region, the roles they played and the reasons that they came to be adopted as a global standard, we proceed to offer simple explanations in everyday language to help those outside the field of official statistics to understand what each Principle means and why it matters. We conclude with reflections on the changing role and continued importance of the Principles for the future.
Gender-responsive remote data collection, analysis, and use during crisis: UN Women’s Rapid Gender Assessments (RGAs)
Authors: Encarnacion Jessamyn , Seck Papa , Tabaco Rea Jean
Published: July 2022

At a time when timely and relevant data was needed to understand the gendered impacts of COVID-19, the standard face-to-face data collection was limited due to lockdowns and other restrictions. Data producers, both from national and international organizations, had to explore remote methodologies such as phone- or web-based surveys. While differences in women’s and men’s situations must always be considered in all stages of any survey design, added attention should be given to remote data collection wherein there may be immediate gender bias in sampling selection, interviewer-respondent interaction, and handling respondent burden. This paper presents UN Women’s experience in intentionally applying a gender-responsive approach in remotely conducting 78 rapid gender assessment surveys (RGAs) across regions. Based on the learnings, recommendations will be provided to further improve remote data collection such as highlighting the importance of identification and monitoring of use cases, gender mainstreaming in statistical operations, and underscoring the role of national statistics offices in responding to gender data gaps during crisis.
Localizing the Sustainable Development Goals: A case for investment in data and impact evaluation
Authors: Abidoye Babatunde , Orlic Edvard
Published: July 2022

This paper describes data collection and analytics challenges at the sub-national level related to measuring SDG indicators and the attribution of government expenditure to the SDGs. The analytical work assessed the quality of sub-national data using Demographic and Health survey (DHS) and its suitability for analysing the impact of local government expenditure on SDG indicators in the Philippines. Our findings suggest that national level surveys lack sufficient granularity to allow for a reliable and accurate measurement of progress over time at the subnational level. In addition, many of the SDG indicators could not be approximated at the local government level. At the same time, data on local government expenditure are in many cases too aggregated to be able to identify causal effects of education or health expenditure. In a best-case scenario, a design of multipurpose household surveys representative at the subnational levels would allow for timely collection, analysis and monitoring of progress over time and would allow for a more tailored modules that focus particularly on the measurement of SDG indicators. At the same time, the creation of data ecosystems at the municipality level through open data portals would enable the timely collection of government expenditures.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Adequate school furniture is important to prevent musculoskeletal discomfort among students. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to assess the suitability of school furniture compared to body dimensions of students. METHODS: A cross-sectional study included a total of 442 students from primary school, secondary school, and university. Nine body dimensions along with five furniture dimensions were measured and equations for mismatch criteria were applied. RESULTS: In primary school, differences in body dimensions were more evident among students of different age, while in secondary school and university, differences between male and female students became more apparent. The mismatch for desk height ranged from 100.0% at primary school to 48.0% at university. Similarly, the seat height mismatch was the most evident in primary school (89.7% –94.6%), lower at university (52.0%) and the lowest in secondary school (18.0%). The seat depth mismatch was present among all groups, ranging from 23.1% to 40.4%, and was in general more pronounced in males. Seat to desk clearance mismatch was the most evident among secondary school students. In primary school, seat and desk height were generally too high for most of students. CONCLUSIONS: Specific differences in body dimensions among groups of students of different age and gender were observed and a high student-furniture mismatch was identified in all educational institutions. Implementation of adjustable school furniture, covering at least two size marks, is needed to provide ergonomic and healthy learning conditions and to further enhance the comfort and well-being of students in the classroom.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: It is generally agreed that musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a severe health concern, particularly for agricultural laborers. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to identify risk factors and work-related disorders among agricultural workers at Amirkabir agro-industry company in Iran. METHOD: A total of 158 workers, of which 66 were manual harvesting workers (four postures), 40 were fertilizer transportation workers (three postures), and 52 were spraying workers (one posture), were included in the study. The research used questionnaires to collect data, and the postures were analyzed using 3DSSPP software. Related risk factors such as age, body mass index, work experience, working hours, and sports activity were analyzed. RESULTS: The incidence rate of lower back pain (94%), knee pain (82%), neck pain (69%), upper-back (63%), and shoulder (63%) were calculated. The logistic regression revealed that working hours and sports activities are significantly correlated to the wrist/hand and neck MSD with 5.62 and 6.38 times more likely among manual harvesting workers. The 3DSSPP software estimated that the lower back pain, especially in the first posture, for manure transportation workers was very high. Maximum L5-S1 compression, shear, and moment forces in the first posture among manure transportation workers were 7113 N and 472 N, -381 N-m, respectively. CONCLUSION: The 3DSSPP results also illustrated that compression, shear, and moment forces exceeded the NIOSH limit for the other postures. After interventions, compression, shear, and moment forces among all farm workers decreased. These findings emphasize that farm workers need to be under surveillance continuously at their workstations where interventions and improvement in specific tasks are required.

Published: July 2022

Background: Knowledge about Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy (IMNM) has received significantly attention in recent years. In this study, we report a rare case of IMNM with increased Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) and positive Signal Recognition Particle (SRP). Clinical Presentation and Intervention: The case was a 67-year-old male patient referred to Firozgar hospital affiliated to the Iran University of Medical Science, Tehran, Iran in June 2018 with a chief complaint of pain in the proximal lower extremity. According to Medical Research Council Scale for muscle strength, the motor function of proximal upper extremities was 4/5 and for the proximal of the lower extremities, it was 3/5. Laboratory findings showed an increase in CPK, CK-MB, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and aldolase levels. Six days after admission, autoantibody test was requested which showed positive SRP. In muscle biopsy, the myopathic atrophy with multiple necrotic and many degenerative/regenerative fibers was associated with mild endomysial fibrosis, and no inflammation was observed. Two g/kg dose of Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) was administrated after diagnosis of IMNM. Prednisone 50 mg/day orally, calcium vitamin D daily, pantoprazole 40 mg/day, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy were administrated for after discharge. Conclusion: Reporting a case of anti-SRP associated IMNM and reviewing its pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment options can help increase the physicians’ knowledge of this rare and debilitating condition.

Background: Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a successful treatment option for various psychiatric disorders. It is performed under general anesthesia where succinylcholine is the preferred muscle relaxant in this process. However its several contraindications and potential adverse effects, and the fact that it is not always available should be considered. Therefore, finding an effective and safe alternative is crucial. Objectives: This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of atracurium in ECT. Materials & Methods: This single-blind clinical trial was conducted at Shafa hospital affiliated to Guilan University of Medical Sciences from November 2020 to April 2021. Participants were 67 eligible patients with ECT, randomly assigned into two groups receiving succinylcholine (0.5 mg/ kg), and atracurium (0.2 mg/kg). Seizure duration, hemodynamic parameters, the time to return to spontaneous breathing, and recovery time were assessed and compared between the two groups. Results: Seizure duration was longer in the succinylcholine group (P=0.071), while the time to return to spontaneous breathing (P=0.0001) and the recovery time (P=0.0001) were significantly longer in the atracurium group. The trend of changes in the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and Heart Rate (HR) were significant over time; however, the difference between the two groups was significant only in HR one minute after the seizure induction (P=0.001). None of patients was reported serious adverse effects. Conclusion: When succinylcholine can't be used, atracurium can be a safe alternative in the ECT process.

Background: Although pregnancy is a normal function in women, it is considered as a stressful experience which is associated with many psychological and physical changes in pregnant women. Objectives: This study aims to investigate and compare cognitive function in different trimesters of pregnancy. Materials & Methods: This was a longitudinal cohort study. Participants were 76 pregnantwomen with a mean age of 30.09±6.23 years referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in Rasht, Iran during 2019-2020. Participants were assessed in three trimesters of pregnancy using the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) and Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE). The multilevel mixed-effects linear regression and repeated measures ANOVA were used for data analysis. All analyses were done in SPSS software v. 19 and Stata v. 14. Results: The mean score of WMS was significantly lower in the third trimester (84.95±12.07) than in the first and second trimesters (89.34±13.13 and 88.72±13.24, respectively) (P=0.001). The results of linear regression analysis showed no significant difference in MMSE score between different trimesters of pregnancy (P>0.05), while the WMS score was significantly different between different pregnancy trimesters; the change in WMS score was statistically significant only in the third trimester (P= 0.04). Conclusion: No impairment in general cognitive function occur during pregnancy, but memory impairment may occur. In the third trimester, pregnant women have the poorest memory function.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ КРИМІНАЛЬНОЇ ВІДПОВІДАЛЬНОСТІ ЗА РЕЙДЕРСТВО
Authors: ЛЕГЕЗА Юлія
Published: July 2022

Стаття присвячена дослідженню особливостей кримінальної відповідальності за рейдерство в Україні як сукупність дій, спрямованих на незаконне встановлення контролю над суб’єктами господарювання та/або протиправне захоплення їх майна. Метою статті визначено дослідження кримінальної відповідальності за рейдерство та з’ясування переліку кримінальних правопорушень, які охоплюються поняттям рейдерство. Автором визначено, що кримінально-правові «антирейдерські» заборони необхідно диференціювати на дві групи – спеціальні та загальні. Автором встановлено доцільність використання звороту саме «суб’єкти господарювання» замість підприємства або «підприємства, установи, організації». Автором зазначено, що підприємства, установи та організації охоплюються поняттям «юридична особа», а сучасне цивільне та господарське законодавство, відійшовши від вжитої у ст. 206-2 морально застарілої тріади, використовує такі терміни, як фізична особа, юридична особа, суб’єкт господарювання тощо. Автором визначено, що сучасні рейдерські схеми пов’язані або з незаконною державною реєстрацією, тобто реєстрацією, здійсненою на підставі підроблених документів, або з протиправним заволодінням майном юридичних осіб, вчиненим на основі підроблених документів. З огляду на поняття та сутність рейдерства при визначенні переліку кримінальних правопорушень, якими охоплюється це явище запропоновано визначати дві групи таких кримінальних правопорушень. До першої (спеціальної) групи віднесено статті 205-1, 206, 206-2 КК України, прийняті або змінені з метою протидії рейдерству. До другої (загальної) групи віднесено статті 189, 190, 356, 197-1, 296, 342, 343, 356, 357, 358 КК України, які можуть мати місце під час здійснення рейдерства.

Günümüz teknoloji çağında daha önce oldukça önemli olan sevgi ve saygı değerlerinin önemini giderek kaybettiği, ilişkilerin yerini teknolojik araçlarla olan birlikteliğin aldığı ve toplumdaki bireylerin yalnızlaşma duygusunu daha sıklıkla yaşadıkları bilinen ve yaşanan bir gerçek haline gelmiştir. Özellikle bu durumun aile içinde yaşanması istenmeyen durumların ortaya çıkmasına neden olabilmektedir. Dünyaya geldiği andan itibaren tüm ihtiyaçlarının sevgi ve saygıyla karşılanması bebeğin hayata tutunmasını ve ilerleyen süreçte insanlara güvenli bağlanmasını ve psikolojik olarak uyumlu bir birey haline gelmesine katkı sağlayacaktır. Bunun tersi olarak ebeveynlerin kendi istek ve arzularına yönelik hareket etmeleri, çocuklarının en temel ilgi ve ihtiyaçlarına zamanında karşılık ve cevap verememeleri ise çocuklara zarar verebilecektir. Bu düşünceler altında araştırmada, teknolojik dünyada sevgi ve saygı değerlerinin ele alınarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması, durum çalışması yönteminde doküman analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada senaryosu Jack Paglen, yönetmeni Wally Pfister olan 2014 yapımı Evrim (Transcendence) filmi incelenmiştir. Filmde Dr. Will Caster büyük buluşlar yapan bir bilim insandır. Çok sevdiği eşi Evelyn Caster’ın ise büyük istekleri ve geleceğe yönelik hayalleri bulunmaktadır. Will Caster’ın ölümünden sonra başlangıçta teknolojiye yönelik oldukça insani olarak başlayan isteklerin, zamanla tüm insanları nasıl tehdit altında bırakacağı etkili bir şekilde sunulmuştur. Elde edilen bulgulara dayanarak, insan ilişkileri başta olmak üzere özellikle çocukların gelişiminde benmerkezcilik yerine sevgi ve saygı değerlerinin göz önünde bulundurulması önerilebilir.

Finite Element Modeling of Additive Manufacturing in Case of Metal Parts
Authors: Alzyod Hussein , Ficzere Peter
Published: July 2022

Metal Additive Manufacturing has grown from 3D metal printing; this technology leads to manufacturing parts using various metallic materials.Additive Manufacturing technology uses the same principle of slicing a solid model into multiple layers and creating a tool path for each layer, then uploading this data to the printing machine and building the part up layer by layer following the sliced model data using a heat source (laser, electron beam, electric arc, or ultrasonic energy, etc.) and feedstock (metal powder, wire or thin metal sheet, etc.).The Additive Manufacturing process starts with designing the prototype, continues with printer pre-processing, then with printing the prototype, and finally with post-processing to get the final part, followed by testing. This sequence has to be repeated till achieving the desired prototype. This method costs money and time. In this paper, the Simufact Additive Manufacturing software makes a virtual simulation to save time and money. In this virtual modelling, different types of materials can be used. Different approaches can be tested, such as building orientations with various parameters, changing supporting structures, and cutting and support removal to achieve a usable process, which is free from damaging effects on the first time that goes through the build. This paper deals with three types of metal alloys (TiAl6V4, AlSi10Mg, and 316L). Different types of machines, thermal analysis, mechanical calibration, thermal and thermomechanical calibration, were applied to find the set parameters such as laser power, inherent strains, exposure energy fraction, and volumetric expansion factor.
