Published: August 2024

Aim
This study aims to assess the prevalence of overlap syndrome (OS) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA) symptoms undergoing polysomnography. We investigated the impact of hypoventilation and long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) on the severity of OSA.
Material and Methods
We retrospectively reviewed COPD patients with OSA symptoms who underwent polysomnography from August 2012 to September 2022. The individuals' body mass index (BMI), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), minimum and mean oxygen saturation values (minSpO2 and meanSpO2), sleep activities, REM period percentages (REM%), whether they used LTOT, and blood hematocrit levels and awake arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) levels were recorded.
Results
A total of 81 individuals with COPD were included in the study. The number of individuals with AHI>5 was 76(93.9%). Participants included 9 with mild OSA, 24 with moderate OSA and 43 with severe OSA. The mean sleep efficiency was found to be %78.3. The mean value of REM% was 7.3. Sixteen of the patients (19.7%) were receiving LTOT. Sleep efficiency was statistically higher in the group using LTOT (p=0.048). AHI and ODI values were statistically higher in the group with high PaCO2 than in the group without (respectively; p=0.048, p=0.008). The mean values of min SpO2 and meanSpO2 were found to be lower in the group with high PaCO2 (p=0.013, p=0.008; respectively)
Conclusion
In OS participants, sleep efficiency is low, and having high PaCO2 is associated with lower minSpO2 and meanSpO2, higher ODI, and AHI. The use of LTOT increases sleep efficiency.

Published: August 2024

Although their exceptional re-passivation ability, Al-alloys are susceptible to corrosion due to the amphoteric nature of the alumina passivation films. This issue is exacerbated by the disruption of these films by intermetallics on the surfaces of highly doped ones, like AA2024-T3 aircraft alloy. The combination of anodized aluminium oxide (AAO) and cerium conversion coatings (CeCC) shows promise as a coating primer. However, the defective structures of CeO2 and Al2O3 require additional sealing. This research proposes sealing the CeCC/AAO layer by boiling it for 10 minutes in two relatively neutral Lourier buffers, adjusted to pH 7.75, and in a mixture of them. The samples underwent a series of analyses to compare the impact of the sealing procedure on surface topology, properties (e.g., colour and wettability on two samples from each set), and corrosion protective ability. It was assessed after 24 hours of exposure to 3.5 % NaCl model corrosive medium on six samples from each set. The assessments included electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic scanning (PDS) techniques. The results indicate that the borate buffer improves the corrosion protection of the coating primers more effectively than the phosphate and mixed ones.

Morphological studies of Si nanowires effect on the photovoltaic s
Authors: Sealen M.
Published: August 2024

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were produced by an electroless method on FZ-Si (100) wafer, in HF/AgNO3 solution. The influence of etching time and temperature on SiNWs morphology were studied using FESEM images. Optical properties were also investigated by optical absorption spectroscopy and low-temperature photoluminescence at 4.2 K. Considering their role as active regions, photo- voltaic properties of SiNWs solar cells were studied for their different lengths. Photovoltaic measurements were taken in 1 sun condition under AM 1.5 illumination supplied by a solar simulator. Measurements indicated a reduction in effi ciency as SiNWs length increased, which might be attributed to increased dangling states on nanowires surfaces.

Authors: M. ARMAN Abdullah , A. DAGHAMEEN Khalid , BALBISI Eyas. , HAJJAJ Mohammad.
Published: August 2024

This article describes the design and implementation of a microcontroller-based system for determining ammonia concentrations in blood. By adding a blood sample to a test strip, the proposed system induces a series of reactions known as Berthelot's response, resulting in an accurate change in strip color. A current is then generated when the photodiode detects the 635 nm wavelength reflected off the strip. An op-amp is used to convert the current to voltage. Because of their ease of use and software flexibility, microcontrollers are recognized as important components in modern electronics. The concentration of (NH3) is determined by a microcontroller depending on the voltage value. The test results are shown on an LCD or recorded in data files. Any normal or abnormal outcomes are appropriately recorded by the system. A PC software program is written to accept and save data. The proposed system is initially designed using the concepts of Software Analysis and Design; the process of building the proposed systems begins with determining the system's requirements, working on the analysis, using the best design techniques according to the software Engineering process, and finally modeling it on an electronic board before being realized and implemented. It is used in biomedical measurements. It is also handy for monitoring and researching final circuits.

Authors: M. Anud Edgar , B. Aungon Virgincita , L. Barrot Naomi
Published: August 2024

This study generally investigated the technostress and demographic variables among high school teachers in the southern districts of the Department of Education- Division of Bukidnon and the whole of the Division of Valencia City, Bukidnon, Mindanao, Philippines. A total of 169 teachers were the participants of the study. The Technostress survey questionnaire adapted from Chen (2018) was utilized for the purpose of this investigation. Further, the TPACK-21 survey questionnaire of Valtonen et al. (2017) was also utilized. The statistical tools used in treating the data for analysis were the descriptive statistics (frequency, mean and percentile), correlation and regression. The results of the study revealed an overall mean of teachers’ technostress on techno-overload is 3.07; on technocomplexity 2.61; on techno-insecurity 2.33; and techno-uncertainty 3.51. The average mean of the teachers’ technostress is 2.89 which corresponds to “moderately affected by stress”. A “High level of knowledge” in the overall TPACK-21 efficacy among the high school teachers of the Divisions of Bukidnon and Valencia City has been very evident in the study as shown in the grand mean of 3.97. Likewise, “High level of knowledge” was also obtained among all of the seven (7) knowledge domains: PCK has the highest mean score of 4.20; followed by CK (4.18); TCK (4.15); PK (3.99); TPK (3.92); TPACK (3.69); and TK has the lowest mean score of 3.63. The data exposed high significant relationship with 21st Century Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK-21) r = -0.58 (p<0.038). Its measured variables like Technological Knowledge (TK-21) r = -0.10 (p<0.043); Pedagogical Knowledge (PK – 21) r = 0.82 (p<0.025); and Technological Pedagogical Knowledge r = -0.78 (p<0.047). The study indicated that as the TPACK-21 variables increase, the level of technostress decreases. Pedagogical Content Knowledge, Technological Content Knowledge, and the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge are the three (3) predictor variables that were derived from the data that was made available as an outcome of the inquiry. Given that the overall influence of the three variables on the teachers' technostress was 69% (R2 = 0.069), this study provides a window for the DepEd Divisions of Bukidnon and Valencia City administrators to revisit and examine the implementation and training of teachers to boost their teaching efficacy based on the status on technostress as related to their 21st Century Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge.

Pharmacokinetics of carprofen in lactating dogs after intravenous treatment
Authors: Nebel-Karp Amber , Papich Mark , Messenger Kristen , Lyle Sara
Published: August 2024

Analgesia is an important component of veterinary care with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, particularly carprofen (Rimadyl®) commonly used for dogs. Pharmacokinetic studies of carprofen in lactating dogs have not been examined fully, questioning the use and safety of carprofen. The extent to which lactation changes the pharmacokinetics is unknown, nor is the extent of transfer into milk of lactating dogs and their neonates or pups. We hypothesized that after a single dose of intravenous (4.4 mg/kg) to dogs, concentrations in milk are low and not high enough to produce harmful exposure in pups. We tested our hypothesis in healthy, adult lactating dogs (n = 4) using pharmacokinetic methods and nonchiral and chiral specific assays measuring total, R-, and S-enantiomer carprofen concentrations with high performance liquid chromatography in maternal plasma, milk, and neonatal plasma samples. The CMAX, elimination half-life, and clearance for maternal plasma were 9.09 and 7.3 µg/ml (R-, S+), 6.82 and 6.22 hours (R-, S+), and a higher clearance rate of 95.81 ml/hr/kg (R-) and 73.87 ml/hr/kg (S+) than reported. None of the neonatal plasma concentrations at any time point were more than 10% of the total maternal plasma concentrations and milk:plasma ratio was < 1. This study confirmed the approved dose is appropriate for perioperative and chronic pain in lactating dogs and is safe with reduced exposure to nursing pups. This study suggested that the pharmacokinetics of carprofen in lactating dogs may be different from their nonlactating counterparts. However, further pharmacokinetic studies with more dogs are needed to confirm these findings.

Authors: Hasanah Noor
Published: August 2024

Allah SubhânahuWaTa’ala banyak sekali menyebutkan lafal bârokah di dalam AlQur`an, dan jika kita tadabburi dan pahami makna bârokah meliputi banyak hal. Dalam AlQur`an, kata bâraka dengan berbagai kata jadiannya (al-mubârak dan al-bârakah) muncul beberapa kali dalam Al-Qur`an. Lafal bârokah dalam Al-Qur`an terletak di berbagai surah dan dalam tema yang berbeda, banyak contoh ciptaan Allah yang dianugerahi bârokah. Diantaranya: tempat (negeri, kota, kampung), manusia (keluarga, perorangan), waktu, benda (pohon, rizki, air, dll). Masyarakat Indonesia juga mengenal istilah bârokah atau berkah dalam kehidupan mereka, namun sebagian masyarakat memahami istilah ini dengan pemahaman yang kurang benar seperti fenomena ngalap berkah pada tanah kuburan seseorang yang dianggap terhormat, binatang, atau suatu tempat. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Maudhu’i Tahlili (Tematik Analitis), peneliti akan menggunakan langkah-langkah yang diambil dari buku Al-Wujuh Wa an Nazhoir dengan menyesuaikan objek penelitian yang akan dibahas. Dalam hal ini penyusun berusaha mengumpulkan ayat-ayat Al-Qur`an yang mempunyai lafal bârokah serta delefasinya, memaparkan penafsiran masing-masing ayat, kemudian menghimpun makna bârokah berdasarkan tema. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengetahui makna lafal bârokah dalam Tafsîr Al-Azhar.
