Authors: Adeleke Adeniyi Kehinde , Igunma Thompson Odion , Nwokediegwu Zamathula Sikhakhane
Published: February 2025

The increasing demand for high-precision manufacturing has necessitated the development of advanced material characterization techniques. Nanoindentation and non-contact optical metrology have emerged as powerful methods for evaluating the mechanical and surface properties of materials with high accuracy and resolution. Nanoindentation provides quantitative measurements of hardness, elastic modulus, and other mechanical properties at micro- and nanoscale levels. It utilizes an indenter to apply controlled force while recording depth penetration, offering insights into deformation behavior, phase transformations, and time-dependent mechanical responses such as creep and stress relaxation. However, traditional contact-based indentation techniques have limitations, including surface damage and measurement errors due to tip blunting. To overcome these challenges, non-contact optical metrology techniques, including interferometry, confocal microscopy, and white light profilometry, have been integrated with nanoindentation for enhanced material characterization. These optical methods allow for precise surface topography measurements without mechanical interaction, reducing the risk of surface alteration and increasing measurement repeatability. Additionally, advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence have facilitated the automated analysis of nanoindentation and optical data, improving efficiency and accuracy in large-scale material assessments. The integration of nanoindentation with non-contact optical metrology provides a comprehensive approach to characterizing mechanical properties while simultaneously mapping surface roughness, texture, and defects. This combination is particularly beneficial in the semiconductor, aerospace, biomedical, and additive manufacturing industries, where surface integrity and mechanical performance are critical. By correlating indentation responses with optical surface measurements, a deeper understanding of material behavior can be achieved, leading to improved process control, quality assurance, and failure analysis in manufacturing. This study explores the latest developments in nanoindentation and optical metrology, focusing on their synergistic application for precise material characterization. Experimental case studies demonstrate how these techniques enhance measurement resolution, reproducibility, and sensitivity across various material systems. The findings provide valuable insights into optimizing metrology techniques for next-generation manufacturing applications.

Authors: Ávila de Lima Dias Marian , De Oliveira Herik Rafael , Ferreira de Andrade Patricia
Published: February 2025

A identificação e o enfrentamento do bullying tem sido um importante debate na e da educação escolar. A pesquisa, amparada nos estudos de Adorno, atenta para a autoridade esclarecida ou não esclarecida e para a importância da atuação docente na identificação e enfrentamento da violência escolar. Foram entrevistados seis docentes que lecionam e são formados nas disciplinas de artes, educação física e português. As respostas sobre a percepção e a análise da violência entre estudantes, a descrição das características dos estudantes que praticam e do que sofrem as agressões e o papel das autoridades, trazem estereótipos de gêneros fortalecendo a compreensão de que a atuação docente pouco ou nada pode fazer diante do bullying, mesmo quando identificado e associado à dupla hierarquia escolar, a oficial e a não oficial. Ainda assim, alguns trechos das entrevistas indicam que há contraposições a esses entendimentos e que as ações de enfrentamento à violência escolar podem ser encaradas como parte do exercício docente bem como de toda a comunidade escolar.

Authors:   Private institution educational organization of higher education University «REAVIZ», Sulaymanova Rimma T.
Published: February 2025

The purpose of the research is the theoretical substantiation of the development of methods for correcting violations of generative and endocrine function of the testes of offspring. Female white mongrel laboratory mice weighing
19-21 g were used as experimental animals. The animals were divided into 2 groups: intact and experimental. At the gestation stage of E11.5 pregnancy, intramuscular single injection of a 2% oil solution of the synthetic analogue of estrogen synestrol was performed at the same time of day. The name of the experimental group C-25 is formed tak-ing into account the injected substance and its dose, synestrol 25 mcg/kg, the intact group was not exposed. In the course of research, it was revealed that when the synthetic analogue of estrogen synestrol is introduced into the mother's body, morphological changes in the structures of the testes of the offspring are observed. The results of morphometric analysis of the testes of the offspring of white mongrel laboratory mice with prenatal single administra-tion of the synthetic analogue of estrogen synestrol at a dose of 25 mcg/kg showed changes in the structure of the organ, manifested in the form of: a decrease in the average number of Sertoli cells in C-25 18.4±1.1 (P≤ 0.05), com-pared with the intact group (20.8±1.9); reduction of the average number of spermatozoa in C-25 175.0±3.8 (P≤0.05), compared with the intact group (196.6±5.3). There was a change in the endocrine function of the testes of the off-spring, expressed in a decrease in the average area of the nuclei of Leydig cells, in the intact group the indicator was 6.72±1.78, in the experimental group C-25 – 5.88±1.43 (P≤ 0.05). Exposure to a dose of synestrol at the E11.5 stage of the prenatal period of offspring development leads to persistent morphological changes in the testes of offspring in the postnatal reproductive period of ontogenesis.

Authors: Lukoye Demas Kutosi , Sanday Amos , Kakooza Victoria , Masiga Clet Wandui
Published: February 2025

Interest rate spreads are one of the main indicators of banking sector efficiency as well as economic growth. Uganda has one of the highest interest rate spread in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, there is limited understanding of the key drivers of these high interest rate spread in Uganda. In this study we provide new evidence on the underlying causes of interest rate spread in Uganda. To explore the drivers of interest rate spread in Uganda’s banking sector, we use a novel quarterly bank-level data for the period 2008 to 2022 and an Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) modelling approach. The findings indicate Liquidity risk and Bank rate have a significant positive long run influence on spread whereas Credit risk, Return on Assets, Operational Efficiency, GDP growth and Financial Sector Development had a significant negative long run impact on spread. However, Reserve Requirement and Inflation had an insignificant impact on spread in Uganda’s banking sector. The study suggests that commercial banks and policy makers in Uganda should consider the internal, industry and macroeconomic environment in coming up with measures to enhance the sector’s efficiency.

Published: February 2025

SETTING
To appropriately triage and evaluate people with signs or symptoms of pulmonary TB, clinical, laboratory, and radiological variables, as well as biomarkers, have been prioritised to increase early detection. However, in high TB prevalence
areas, few studies used standardised tools to assess both sociodemographic characteristics and accessible biomarkers comprehensively. This study aimed to describe the sociodemographic, radiographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics associated with pulmonary TB (PTB) in patients with
presumed pulmonary TB (pPTB).

DESIGN
A cross-sectional study was conducted at a public health centre in Duque de Caxias, Brazil, involving patients with pPTB from September 2017 to February 2020. Participants were evaluated using standardised
tools: Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) Plus for depression, the MINI-Mental State Examination for cognitive functions, and the ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test) questionnaire for substance
use. Chest radiographs (CXRs) and blood tests were also performed. Logistic regression was used to identify associations between sociodemographic, radiographic and biological variables with PTB.

RESULTS
Of 315 patients, 149 (47%) were diagnosed
with PTB. Factors associated with PTB included the presence of cavitation on CXR (OR 13.7, 95% CI 5.93–34.5; P < 0.001), high alkaline phosphatase levels (OR 3.89; 95% CI 1.68–9.47; P = 0.002), and C-reactive protein above 10 mg/L (OR 5.60, 95% CI 2.23–14.7;
P < 0.001). Major depression disorder (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.11–0.91; P = 0.036) suggested a protective association with PTB.

CONCLUSION
CXR findings and easy-to-perform blood tests can aid in PTB diagnosis, potentially
reducing the time to treatment when microbiological or molecular tests cannot be performed.
TB yields from expanded contact tracing investigations
Authors: Madan A. , Malik A.A. , Brooks M.B.
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND
TB poses a significant global health challenge due to a substantial case-detection gap. Traditional contact tracing primarily targets contacts of bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary TB index patients, often excluding pediatric, clinically
diagnosed, and extrapulmonary cases. This review assessed the potential of expanding contact tracing to these frequently overlooked subgroups.

METHODS
We conducted a focused, targeted literature review by searching PubMed, Web of Science,
Google Scholar and Lens.org using identified keywords. A title and abstract review was conducted using predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria.

RESULTS
We
identified 13 relevant studies reporting contact tracing yields from these index patient groups. Contact tracing of pediatric, clinically diagnosed, and extrapulmonary TB index patients yielded up to 8.1%, 3.0%, and 2.1% for active disease and up to 17.9%, 12.6%, and 11.1% for TB infection,
respectively.

CONCLUSION
Findings suggest that expanding contact tracing for these typically excluded index patients can improve case detection. By refining contact tracing protocols and adopting more inclusive strategies, TB programs can
enhance case detection rates and improve overall disease control efforts, aligning with global goals for TB elimination.

Introduction: The natural progression in the development of surgical approaches for bone conduction implant systems, such as the Cochlear™ Osia2, involves exploring alternative solutions aimed at ensuring patient safety, improving surgical outcomes, and simplifying procedural techniques.Aim: The aim of this study is to present an alternative surgical access technique for the implantation of the Osia2 system – SCOTNI, along with the benefits and risks associated with the procedure.Materials and methods: The analysis included 14 patients treated using the SCOTNI incision technique between July 2023 and February 2024. The study details the steps of the procedure employing this technique, intraoperative and postoperative outcomes, and characteristics of the patient group.Results: The implantation using the SCOTNI incision technique is associated with a short incision line and convenient exposure of the implantation site. This method allows for intraoperative bone polishing and repositioning of the OSI200 implant. However, in cases of excessive compression by postoperative dressings, there might be a need for system explantation.Conclusions: The SCOTNI technique enables the management of various complications that may arise during surgery while maintaining the full functionality of the system and aesthetic outcomes. Therefore, this technique represents a valuable option, providing better adaptation to individual patient needs without compromising device effectiveness.

Introduction: Burnout is common in professionals working with people, with multifaceted impact across various life areas. Burnout among physiotherapists has a negative impact on patients, and service quality.Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate burnout among female Estonian physiotherapists working in healthcare.Material and methods: This cross‐sectional web‐based survey study was conducted among 90 Estonian female physiotherapists in Spring-Summer 2021. The presence of burnout was assessed by a self-evaluated Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) questionnaire in personal, work-related, and patient-related dimensions.Results: A significant portion of participants reported the presence of burnout in the personal life dimension (53.3%), and in the work-related dimension (51.1%), to a less extent in the patient-related dimension (36.7%). The survey revealed that the presence of burnout in at least one dimension of CBI occurred in nearly 68% of physiotherapists, and every fourth of participants evaluated the presence of burnout in every three dimensions.Conclusions: Female physiotherapists perceive their healthcare roles as emotionally draining and physically demanding, leading to burnout across various dimensions. Alarmingly, many of them are already experiencing or nearing burnout. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to possibilities to reduce feelings of burnout among physiotherapists working in healthcare where their relative importance grows in time.

El presente artículo es el resultado de una investigación destinada a implementar herramientas digitales que fortalezcan el aprendizaje en el área de Ciencias Naturales de los estudiantes de cuarto grado de básica primaria en la Institución Educativa Luis Enrique Barón, ubicada en Maní, Casanare. Para ello, se estableció una ruta metodológica basada en un enfoque cuantitativo y un diseño cuasi experimental. En primer lugar, se aplicó un pre test para evaluar los conocimientos previos de los estudiantes en el área de ciencias naturales. A continuación, se implementaron unidades de aprendizaje a través de herramientas digitales como la App Ciencias Naturales, YouTube y Paint. Finalmente, se realizó un post test para determinar la efectividad del tratamiento aplicado. Los resultados indican que, antes de la implementación de las herramientas digitales, el porcentaje de respuestas incorrectas fue del 51%, mientras que, tras la aplicación del tratamiento, este porcentaje disminuyó al 12,14%. Esto permite concluir que el uso de herramientas digitales influyó significativamente en el aprendizaje de Ciencias Naturales de los estudiantes de cuarto grado.

The present investigation was carried out to study per se performance and magnitude of heterosis in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. The 28 hybrids were generated by L x T fashion during early summer, 2019 at Centre for Millets Research, Sardar Krushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Deesa using seven females (DS 1142, DS 1147, DS 1135, DS 193, DS 187, SPV 2445 and DS 171) and four male parents (CSV 21F, GFS 06, GFS 04 and GAFS 12). The resultant 28 hybrids were evaluated along with eleven parents and one check CSV 32F in randomized block design with three replications during kharif 2019. Perusal of per se performance of parents and their hybrids for different traits evinced that DS 1147 among the females, GFS 06 among the males and DS 1147 x CSV 21F, DS 1142 x GFS 04, DS 1142 x GFS 06 and DS 1142 x CSV 21F among the hybrids exhibited higher overall mean performance for green fodder yield per plant and some of the yield contributing traits. For earliness, female DS 187, male GFS 04 and hybrid DS 171 x CSV 21F were found superior as they exhibited lower values for days to flowering. Significant heterosis over better parent and best standard check (CSV 32F) was observed in many hybrids for various traits. The hybrids DS 1147 x CSV 21F (57.31%) and (33.03%), DS 1142 x GFS 04 (52.74%) and (31.39%) and DS 1142 x GFS 06 (28.57%) and (28.59%) and DS 1142 x CSV 21F (48.07%) and (27.37%) manifested significant positive heterosis over better parent and standard check respectively for green fodder yield per plant. While in case of dry fodder yield, the hybrid DS 1147 x GFS 06 (58.84%) and (51.43%), DS 1147 x CSV 21F (59.66%) and (51.30%) and DS 1135 x GFS 06 (46.50%) and (39.66%) exhibited significant and desirable heterosis over better parent and over standard check respectively.
