As a person ages, usually after age 50, knee joint bone damage caused by osteoarthritis can occur. It is to cause pain in the knee joint so that its function moves abnormally. The knee joint bone damage could be replaced with a prosthesis (Total Knee Replacement, TKR) to restore the knee joint's normal movement function. However, orthopaedic doctors sometimes have difficulty choosing standard implant designs available for patients' knees when performing TKR surgery, especially for Asian patients, including Indonesians. It is due to the geometry of the standard implant being different from the patient's knee anatomical shape. As a result, postoperative pain reactions can occur. Therefore, this study is to customize the TKR femoral implant's design according to the knee bone's geometry, especially in Indonesian patients. Reverse Engineering (RE) technology assisted by the CT-Scan and the boundary surface technique was applied for reconstructing the patient's knee bone into a femoral implant. The application of RE is initially, the patient's knee bone sample was scanned with Computer Tomography (CT) Scan. Then, the femur implant model was designed on the surface of the patient's knee bone using the boundary surface method. The 3D model of the TKR femoral implant was successfully designed to match the geometry of the patient's femur bone. It will be a reference for designing other TKR implants, namely the tibia component.

Authors: Ma'a Mustaza , Kamal Samsul , Pranoto Indro
Published: June 2024

In the industrial environment, there is a need to boost heat transfer. The flow manipulation method was selected because it is less expensive, simpler to use, and more accessible. It is wise to utilize a horizontal type annular heat exchanger because it is simple and easy to manufacture. Cold fluid from the reservoir tank is pumped through the annulus in a closed system. Cold fluid passes through the Omega rotameter before it enters the experiment apparatus. The cooling system allows cold fluid to leave through the outlet and return to the reservoir tank. There are five different cold fluid flow rates, ranging from 2.5 GPM to 5 GPM. A tubular heater with a 500 W heat rate is inserted in the annular heat exchanger's midsection. The flow inside the annulus is heated by this heater. According to the results of the experiments, utilizing outsert has the potential to increase the heat transfer coefficient (h) average 89,84%, Nusselt number (Nu) average 76,76%, and friction factor (f) average 55,48%. The flow regime, which starts out in laminar circumstances and transition to quasi-turbulent and turbulent conditions at Re = 8000, is also impacted by the presence of an outsert. The thermal performance factor (η) average 1,54, which demonstrates an increase in heat transfer.

Published: June 2024

This paper has analyzed dominant zinc element in sphalerite naturally found together with galena in mineral ore. Since pyrometallurgical route related to roasting process is very common to mineral dressing, therefore, this investigation has studied the effect of varied roasting time (30 min, 60 min, and 90 min) and temperature (500oC, 600oC, and 700oC) on zinc mineral examination using XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and zinc element using XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) analyses. Previous studies usually applied cheaper AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrometer) for zinc analysis in aqueous solution, however, sphalerite is a solid matrix and therefore, this study has applied XRF to analyze zinc. Pyrometallurgical process of zinc mineral in sphalerite is related to mineral transformation in the form of ZnSO4, ZnS, and ZnO that cannot be detected by XRF. Therefore, this study has used XRD that can observe mineral transformation.   The XRD pattern shows four intense peaks at 2θ (28o, 47o, 56o, and 76o) justified sphalerite (ZnS) sample with little amount of pyrite (FeS2) and galena (PbS) as impurities. The XRF analysis shows from 30 min to 90 min, the Zn content has increased remarkably at 700oC and Zn content looked stagnant at 500oC, while Zn content increased dramatically from 60 min to 90 min at 600oC. During roasting process at high temperature, ZnS mineral converted to ZnO and expelled SO2 gas due to oxidation reaction causing weight reduction. The study is valuable for mineral processing in searching for optimization.

The present study aimed to determine the effect of the percentage of water in brake fluid on the boiling point and the characteristics of bubble formation (the beginning of vapor lock) during the brake fluid heating process. DOT 3 Brake Fluid and water were used as the working fluid in the present study. To vary the water content in the brake fluid, water was mixed into the DOT 3 Brake Fluid. The water percentages in the mixture were 0, 1, 3, and 4%. The boiling point of brake fluid with four variations in the water content percentage was measured by using a digital thermometer. The characteristics of bubble formation in brake fluid were observed using a video camera with a frame rate of 240 fps. The video recording results were extracted into an image file with a jpeg extension and processed further using image processing with ImageJ software to measure the total cross-sectional area and bubble fraction. This is the novelty of the present study, where measurements of the total cross-sectional area and bubble fraction in boiling brake fluid with variations in water content have never been carried out by researchers before. Apart from that, the ImageJ measurement method has advantages compared to other software. ImageJ is free software that is easy to download from the internet, easy to use, accurate and the measurement results are displayed immediately. The research results show that an increase in the percentage of the water content in brake fluid affects reducing the boiling point of the brake fluid. At the same temperature, the greater the percentage of water content in the brake fluid, the total cross-sectional area and bubble fraction also increase. At the same percentage of water content, the total cross-sectional area and bubble fraction also increase as the temperature increases. Apart from that, in this research, an empirical equation was successfully developed to predict the brake fluid's boiling point based on its water content, and an empirical equation to predict the bubble fraction based on the water content and temperature of the brake fluid. This is a novel result of this research that has never been produced in previous research.

This research aimed to understand how incentives affect job satisfaction among employees at health centers in Bisha, a region in Saudi Arabia. The method used was descriptive and analytical, involving all 1,300 employees at these health centers, with 274 randomly chosen participants for the survey. A questionnaire collected data from these participants. The findings suggest that the average job satisfaction among these employees is moderate, indicating they are somewhat satisfied. However, the system of incentives was generally found to be weak, despite a clear link between incentives and job satisfaction, proven significant at the α≤0.01 level. When considering educational background and years of experience, these factors did not significantly impact satisfaction levels with the incentive system at the α≤0.05 level. Yet, gender did show a significant difference in satisfaction levels at the same significance level. The research concludes that there is a need to reevaluate and improve the incentive system for health center employees in Bisha to enhance their job satisfaction. It suggests conducting further research to develop management strategies and explore new methods to increase employee satisfaction.

Regulatory T cells: Genetic modifications and impact on disease treatment
Authors: Sevilla Carrasco Jaime David , Terán Villegas María Belén , Rodríguez Cazar Geomara Lizeth
Published: June 2024

Regulatory T cells, also known as Tregs, play a significant role in the immune system since they control cells
such as mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils. For this reason, it is necessary to understand the activation
mechanisms of Tregs, such as inhibitory cytosines, cytolysis, metabolic alteration, and dendritic cells. Due to
Tregs's functions and scientific advances in genetic engineering, the manipulation of these cells has been
achieved. In this sense, gene transfer using Lenti-/Retro Virus has been using transposases and reprogrammable nuclease systems. However, it is crucial to consider that genetic engineering has helped generate Tregs
and increase their specificity, which contributes considerably to treating diseases, thanks to using chimeric
antigens and transgenic T cells (CAR and TCR, respectively). Therefore, the classification of regulatory T
cells is given according to their origin, as is the case of shy Tregs, which develop in the thymus, and conventional T cells, which are induced in vivo. Finally, it is essential to consider that these Tregs are being used in
stage I/II clinical trials to obtain precise results on their safety, viability, and efficacy.

Assessing the Impact of the Mindfulness-Based Body Scan Technique on Sleep Quality in Multiple Sclerosis Using Objective and Subjective Assessment Tools: Single-Case Study
Authors: Iliakis Ioannis , Anagnostouli Maria , Chrousos George
Published: June 2024

Background

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system, often leading to poor sleep quality and diminished quality of life (QoL) for affected patients. Sleep disturbances in MS do not always correlate linearly with other symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, or pain. Various approaches, including stress reduction techniques such as mindfulness-based interventions, have been proposed to manage MS-related sleep issues.

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the mindfulness-based body scan technique on sleep quality and QoL in patients with MS using both subjective (questionnaires) and objective (electronic portable device) measures.

Methods

A single-case study was performed involving a 31-year-old woman diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS. The patient practiced the mindfulness-based body scan technique daily before bedtime and outcomes were compared to measures evaluated at baseline.

Results

The mindfulness-based body scan intervention demonstrated positive effects on both sleep quality and overall QoL. Biometric data revealed a notable dissociation between daily stress levels and sleep quality during the intervention period. Although self-report instruments indicated significant improvement, potential biases were noted.

Conclusions

While this study is limited to a single patient, the promising outcomes suggest the need for further investigation on a larger scale. These findings underscore the potential benefits of the mindfulness-based body scan technique in managing sleep disturbances and enhancing QoL among patients with MS.
Impacts of Clinical Decision Support Systems on the Relationship, Communication, and Shared Decision-Making Between Health Care Professionals and Patients: Multistakeholder Interview Study
Authors: Funer Florian , Schneider Diana , Heyen Nils B , Aichinger Heike , Klausen Andrea Diana , Tinnemeyer Sara , Liedtke Wenke , Salloch Sabine , Bratan Tanja
Published: June 2024

Background

Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) are increasingly being introduced into various domains of health care. Little is known so far about the impact of such systems on the health care professional–patient relationship, and there is a lack of agreement about whether and how patients should be informed about the use of CDSSs.

Objective

This study aims to explore, in an empirically informed manner, the potential implications for the health care professional–patient relationship and to underline the importance of this relationship when using CDSSs for both patients and future professionals.

Methods

Using a methodological triangulation, 15 medical students and 12 trainee nurses were interviewed in semistructured interviews and 18 patients were involved in focus groups between April 2021 and April 2022. All participants came from Germany. Three examples of CDSSs covering different areas of health care (ie, surgery, nephrology, and intensive home care) were used as stimuli in the study to identify similarities and differences regarding the use of CDSSs in different fields of application. The interview and focus group transcripts were analyzed using a structured qualitative content analysis.

Results

From the interviews and focus groups analyzed, three topics were identified that interdependently address the interactions between patients and health care professionals: (1) CDSSs and their impact on the roles of and requirements for health care professionals, (2) CDSSs and their impact on the relationship between health care professionals and patients (including communication requirements for shared decision-making), and (3) stakeholders’ expectations for patient education and information about CDSSs and their use.

Conclusions

The results indicate that using CDSSs could restructure established power and decision-making relationships between (future) health care professionals and patients. In addition, respondents expected that the use of CDSSs would involve more communication, so they anticipated an increased time commitment. The results shed new light on the existing discourse by demonstrating that the anticipated impact of CDSSs on the health care professional–patient relationship appears to stem less from the function of a CDSS and more from its integration in the relationship. Therefore, the anticipated effects on the relationship between health care professionals and patients could be specifically addressed in patient information about the use of CDSSs.

Background

Mobile phone–based SMS text message reminders have the potential to improve colorectal cancer screening participation rates.

Objective

This study assessed the effectiveness and acceptability of adding targeted SMS text message reminders to the standard procedure for those who picked up but did not return their screening kit at the pharmacy within 14 days in a colorectal cancer screening program in Catalonia, Spain.

Methods

We performed a randomized control trial among individuals who picked up a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kit for colorectal cancer screening at the pharmacy but did not return it within 14 days. The intervention group (n=4563) received an SMS text message reminder on the 14th day of kit pick up and the control group (n=4806) received no reminder. A 30-day reminder letter was sent to both groups if necessary. The main primary outcome was the FIT completion rate within 30, 60, and 126 days from FIT kit pick up (intention-to-treat analysis). A telephone survey assessed the acceptability and appropriateness of the intervention. The cost-effectiveness of adding an SMS text message reminder to FIT completion was also performed.

Results

The intervention group had higher FIT completion rates than the control group at 30 (64.2% vs 53.7%; P<.001), 60 (78.6% vs 72.0%; P<.001), and 126 (82.6% vs 77.7%; P<.001) days. Participation rates were higher in the intervention arm independent of sex, age, socioeconomic level, and previous screening behavior. A total of 339 (89.2%) interviewees considered it important and useful to receive SMS text message reminders for FIT completion and 355 (93.4%) preferred SMS text messages to postal letters. We observed a reduction of US $2.4 per participant gained in the intervention arm for invitation costs compared to the control arm.

Conclusions

Adding an SMS text message reminder to the standard procedure significantly increased FIT kit return rates and was a cost-effective strategy. SMS text messages also proved to be an acceptable and appropriate communication channel for cancer screening programs.

Authors: Gobika R
Published: June 2024

Abstract: This projects aim is to design ornithopters with flapping wings, drawing inspiration from the natural flight of birds. The methodology begins with a comprehensive analysis of various bird wing designs. The structural analysis is essential to ensure an accurate replication of bird wings in the ornithopter's design. A belt drive system in ornithopters efficiently transfers engine power to the wings, converting rotational motion into flapping motion, crucial for sustained flight and performance. To execute the modelling process effectively, Creo Parametric software is employed, enabling the creation of a highly detailed falcon wing with an integrated flapping mechanism for generating lift and thrust. Although surveillance drones are currently in use, the ongoing work focuses on creating ornithopters for surveillance and reconnaissance purposes. These devices emulate the natural flight of birds, consequently enhancing the capabilities of diverse countries in the defence and disaster management.

The objective of this study is to map the landscape and knowledge structure of the public sector metaverse through bibliometric analysis. Following this, a descriptive overview of the current state of public sector research related to the metaverse, including the leading ten authors and sources, most relevant keywords, and primary research topics, will be presented. The selection of the Scopus database was based on its status as the largest repository of its kind and its provision of an extensive compilation of abstracts and citations for peer-reviewed articles, proceedings, and journals. The initial search yielded 369 documents from Scopus; after eliminating duplicate and irrelevant articles, 354 documents remained. The results demonstrate the substantial development of the metaverse in the public sector, with an annual growth rate of 14.89%. This indicates that the adoption of virtual technology and the metaverse is gaining importance in the public sector. Castronova ranks first in terms of the quantity of studies published, with five articles, followed by De Kool and Zhang. "Metaverse," "virtual reality," and "virtual world" are the most pertinent keywords. Due to the extensive research that has been conducted on these phrases, they represent fundamental concepts in the field. Additional frequently occurring terms include "social networking (online)," "interactive computer graphics," "government data processing," and "internet." These terms underscore the significance of governance, human factors, technology, and data in shaping the trajectory of digital government services. They also exemplify the interdisciplinary character of metaverse applications within the public sector.

Today, the terms "national security," "essential security interests," and "public policies" are changing. Nowadays in evoking general considerations of protecting the security of a state, the safety of its citizens and key aspects of its way of life and in their paradigms shift. The threats associated with energy independence, cyberattacks, and the protection of a particularly important substance are related to security, so the issue of monitoring foreign direct investment in those areas is strategic.

In the third part of the provisions of this amendment “Internal organization of the party shall be in compliance with the democratic principles, and its capital and revenue sources and spending shall be transparent to public. The Party's organization, operational procedure, funding, and the terms of state funding support shall be determined by law” the lawmaker explains that the provision was approved to make the financing transparent, improve the party's internal democracy, propose policies at the national level, shape the parties, and improve accountability. While the provision was divided into two parts, with some parts supported and others not supported by political parties, politicians, academics, and public opinion, the regulations related to financial support from the state to political parties are governed in the fifth chapter of the revised Political Parties Act. This article will explain the theoretical foundations of state funding as approved in the revised Political Parties Act within the context of Clause 3 of Article Nineteen 1 of the 2019 Constitutional Amendment, examining the regulation of state-provided financial support, the required legal framework, and its significance in comparison to the existing system.

In order to aware the nature of political conflict, it is essential to study its theoretical and methodological aspects and practical significances. In the course of the development of political thoughts, theoretical and methodological basis of this concept were formed. K. Marx, M. Weber, G. Simmel, T. Parsons, R. Dahrendorf and S.Huntington studied the concept in detail and developed it theoretically. Particularly, K. Marx concepted that the political conflict is a source of social revolution and development, while T. Parsons believed that by treating the conflict as a social disease, social consensus and integrity are ensured. Also, there are numerous concepts that explain the conflict from the point of view of its creativeness, and the paradigm for the study of the political conflict has been formed during the studies of the above researchers. Studying the ways to investigate, recognize, resolve and moderate such political conflicts allows the people to manage them properly.
As diversas faces do racismo: uma análise interseccional sobre os impactos da necropolítica no Brasil durante a pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: MOREIRA Mariana de Castro , MELLO B. P. , COSTA C. G.
Published: June 2024

This article aims to provide an intersectional analysis of the reverberations of racism in Brazil, particularly in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, taking into account the intersecting factors of race, class, and gender. Drawing upon socio-political and economic analyses of the country, the research incorporates a bibliographic survey and media analysis, focusing specifically on health data related to the black population during the pandemic. The study employs concepts from philosophers, such as Foucault and Mbembe, along with insights from media personalities, to elucidate the impacts of necropolitics in Brazil. The findings reveal that this segment of society faces exacerbated challenges due to the dismantling of public services that should guarantee their basic rights as citizens. Consequently, mechanisms such as state coercion, police actions, and the judicial system perpetuate and reinforce state-sanctioned racism. The article highlights how the pandemic has become yet another tool “to kill” and illustrates the nexus between these circumstances and Mbembe's concept of necropolitics. Furthermore, it discusses the previous government's negligence towards the population's needs, prioritizing economic interests at the expense of social well-being. This raises critical questions regarding the practices within the field of psychology, specifically whether they align with ethical commitments grounded in the socio-political, economic, and social contexts to promote rights-based practices or inadvertently contribute to exclusionary dynamics, thus perpetuating necropolitical systems.
Descolonizar a educação de trabalhadores/trabalhadoras: corpo e território nos dispositivos da educação profissional
Authors: ARALDI E. , ARENDT R. J. J. , Moraes Marcia
Published: June 2024

The paper explores the contradictory place of body and territory in workers’ education, taking as a case of analysis the process of teaching psychology in Professional and Technological Education (EPT). The field was developed at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ) Campus Niterói, in pedagogical activities developed by the first author in the context of her doctoral research. The methodology was inspired by intervention-research and feminist epistemologies and aimed to develop and analyze the effects of changing educational devices in the sense of valuing local experiences, interculturality and workers/students’ know how. Some key concepts from the theoretical field of epistemologies of the south - ecologies of knowledge, the artisanship of practices, abyssal lines - and intersectional feminism are used to rethink educational practices in EPT in a decolonial sense. The research concludes that school devices perform subjects and worlds and, therefore, are a strategic field of struggle against the different oppressions of colonialism, capitalism and patriarchy.
