Authors: Салій О. О. , Тарасенко Г. В. , Шовкова О. Ю. , Куришко Г. Г.
Published: January 2024

Infectious diseases remain one of the main causes of population mortality around the world, therefore the circulation, control over the quality and safety of vaccines in almost all countries is under special state control and is carried out separately from other pharmaceuticals. The quality of vaccines and the effectiveness of the population vaccination process largely depend on compliance with the requirements regarding the temperature regime, which must be flawlessly fulfilled by all participants in the pharmaceutical supply chain – the vaccine manufacturer, transporter, distributor, pharmacy or health care institution, the final consumer of vaccines (patient).

The purpose of the work is to identify the risks present in the vaccine supply chain, in the management of stocks, storage and transportation of vaccines to health care facilities, as well as to investigate the priority of these risks in the supply chain of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The assessment of industry risks in the provision of vaccines against COVID-19 to health care facilities was carried out using the method of analyzing the types, consequences and criticality of failures (FMECA) with the accepted quantitative values of the assessment of the severity of consequences (S), the probability of occurrence (О) and the possibility of detection (D). The quantitative assessment of the risk value (R) was carried out according to the priority value of the RPN risk level. Identification of specific risks was carried out by the method of expert assessments. The method of data collection is a questionnaire.

Categories of general, industry and specific risks were defined. It was established that general risks arise at the national level of risks, and their prevention is in the sphere of public administration. The results of the general assessment of industry risks by the FMECA method indicate that the risk of unfair distribution of vaccines is one of the essential ones for stopping the pandemic and unnecessary deaths of the population (RPN = 40). According to the results of the questionnaire of the expert group, the most critical specific risk was the risk of virus variability (19% of the determined sample).

The obtained data indicate that the priority direction of reducing risks in the management of stocks, storage and transportation of vaccines to health care institutions is the implementation of state programs for building up own capacities for the production of vaccines.

Authors: Кленіна О. В. , Чабан Т. І.
Published: January 2024

The introduction of molecular modeling methods into the computer-aided drug discovery (CADD) process allows to minimize the time and costs for construction and development of new biologically active substances in comparison with traditional experimental approaches. In silico drug development process includes the identification of potential biological targets for drug candidates and the combinatorial libraries creation of low molecular weight compounds followed by their virtual screening to selected macromolecules. This approach becomes possible due to the availability of information about the three-dimensional chemical structures of ligands and biomolecules. In this context, freely available chemoinformatics and bioinformatics databases are the highly effective resources for use at various stages of the rational drug design process.

The aim of this review was to consider the main approaches towards the application of molecular modeling methods in the process of rational drug discovery, as well as to analyse and summarize information concerning modern chemoinformatics and bioinformatics databases, which are freely available and widely used at all stages of the search and development of potential drug candidates.

In the process of the review preparation we used a complex of general scientific methods of searching and systematizing literary references, analysis and comparison of information from various sources, generalization with the indication of development trends, selection of new and promising research directions.

This review also describes the main modern freely available chemoinformatics and bioinformatics databases. These information resources are widely used for ligand-based and receptor-based virtual screening, which are the main approaches in the process of computer-aided drag design.

Successes in the development of organic synthesis, high-throughput screening, experimental biology, chemistry, and medicine, as well as the development and implementation of new approaches and tools in chemoinformatics and bioinformatics, Big Data and information technologies achievements have created the basis for the development and increasing updating of highly efficient and curated databases. Freely available chemoinformatics and bioinformatics database resources are widely used in the processes of in silico discovery and improvement of potential drug candidate.
A Conception of Yi (義): Harmony, Fairness, and Justice in Management – A Prospective Inquiry Framework
Authors: Leong David , Kiat Koh Hock
Published: January 2024

This paper discusses the Chinese worldview on 公平正義 _gongping zhengyi_ (fairness and justice) and correlates it with equilibrium and nonequilibrium. Moving far from equilibrium (away from fairness and justice) is a social phenomenon that warrants understanding as a science. The collective phenomena far from equilibrium (far from fairness and justice) are explored with nonequilibrium dynamics concepts. The paper examines the concepts in the _Yijing_ to understand stability, instability, equilibrium, nonequilibrium, centeredness, and non-centeredness. Fairness, justice, and harmony (representing equilibrium and balance) are Chinese culture's most important values and highest aims because they lay the foundation for achieving harmony and balance. However, interpersonal and societal conflicts lead to social, cultural, and moral crises.

This paper addresses a complex problem in the field of management scholarship. Specifically, the issue being examined is how to improve the effectiveness of management scholarship in promoting fairness and justice while simultaneously maintaining the pursuit of innovative concepts and rigorous theoretical frameworks. In response to this challenge, the paper offers a novel and prospective framework for inquiry centred on the concept of _Yi_ harmony and its relationship with fairness and justice in the context of management with reference to nonequilibrium dynamics.

This paper proposes a prospective inquiry framework for exploring the relationship between _Yi_ harmony, fairness, and justice in management scholarship. By using nonequilibrium dynamics to expand the scope of theoretical work, this approach seeks to promote the formulation, exploration, and evaluation of alternative theories for achieving desired management values. Prospective inquiry expands the purpose, value, and application of theoretical frameworks within management research, allowing scholars to develop and implement theoretical frameworks that promote fairness and justice while maintaining theoretical rigour and innovation.

Confucian culture highlights the unique ability of human beings to possess moral reason, which is essential for creating harmonious and rational existence. By promoting goodness and virtue, Chinese culture encourages establishing mutually beneficial systems and procedural justice, leading to a just society. This paper suggests that traditional Chinese culture effectively addresses contemporary social conflicts and crises by cultivating morality, social integrity, and harmonious righteousness.
Measuring the Effectiveness of Internship Programs in Aligning Education with Industry: A Comprehensive Analysis of Internship Outcomes in College of Communication and Media during Covid-19
Authors: Akhtar Fokiya , Parker Tarannum
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of internship programs in aligning education with industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research focuses on the internship outcomes of College of Communication and Media Sciences (CCMS) students in various UAE organizations. This study employs Kirkpatrick's framework and analyzes 64 student reports over ten weeks to understand the strengths and areas of improvement in aligning academic instruction with real-world applications. The research focuses on the "reaction" and "learning" constructs in the alignment of theoretical teachings with practical experiences. The study revealed that internships offer students a chance to gain practical experience in their field of study, and the CCMS internship program helps students gain professional skills that are difficult to teach in a classroom context. The findings of this study could help academic policymakers understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of different learning areas, and refine and enhance internship offerings. The study underscores the significance of assessing the practical application of university education in the workplace and the benefits of internship experiences as a mandatory component of CCMS specialization academic programmes. The research demonstrates that the internship program provides students with hands-on experience in the media and communication sectors, enabling them to interact directly with industry professionals. Additionally, this study highlights the common challenges faced by internship students, including communication with supervisors, workload management, handling tasks beyond their current skill set, navigating limited workplace resources, adjusting to unfamiliar work environments, and refining time management skills.

Published: January 2024

Este artículo analiza la territorialización de políticas públicas llevadas adelante por los gobiernos del Frente Amplio (FA) en Uruguay. Con este objetivo, se describe la capacidad de acción y decisión que han tenido las unidades locales del nivel central en el territorio. Argumentamos que, pese al discurso descentralizador, la capacidad de decisión de dichas unidades es escasa, permaneciendo las funciones en manos de actores centrales. A nivel conceptual, se presenta una tipología de asignación y distribución de poder entre los actores centrales y periféricos en la definición e implementación de las políticas públicas, creando un índice que mide la autonomía de los actores locales. Para aportar evidencia de nuestro argumento, se aplica el índice a 159 programas sectoriales.

Published: January 2024

A serdülőkor a legdinamikusabb változásokat hozó időszak, amely során a csont- és izomrendszer, valamint a legtöbb testméret felgyorsult növekedése figyelhető meg. Vizsgálatunkban serdülőkorú, sportoló fiatalok fejlettségét, testfelépítésüket, valamint növekedési jellemzőiket vizsgáltuk, futballsportklub U14–16-os korosztálypárjára vonatkozóan. Vizsgálatunk célja volt – egyszerű eszközök segítségével – az adott korosztály fizikai adottságának antropometriai jellemzőinek vizsgálata, valamint a kapott eredmények összehasonlítása a korosztályos átlagokkal. Célunk volt megvizsgálni, hogy testarányaiknak megfelelően, játékos posztonként milyen jellemző eltéréseket találhatunk. Feltételezhető, hogy az egyes pozíciók fiziológiai és anyagcsereigényeinek különbségei a pozícióra jellemző, eltérő antropometriai és testösszetételbéli jellemzőket mutatnak. Vizsgálatunkban 31 fiú vett részt az U14–16-os korosztálypárból, átlagéletkoruk 13,29 ±1,53 év volt. Egyszeri mintavétel alkalmával gyűjtöttünk adatokat antropometriai méréssel résztvevőinkről. A vizsgált korosztály testsúlya ideális, a BMI-jük alapján nyert percentilisek adatai alapján a 25–50 és 50–75 percentilis közé estek, ami koruknak megfelelő tápláltsági állapotot mutat. A különböző poszton játszó személyek testzsírösszetétele, testarányai eltérőek. A nagyobb fürgeséget és mozgékonyságot igénylő mezőnyposztokon elhelyezkedő játékosoknak a magassága, termete elmarad például a kapusokétól. A has körfogata, valamint a hasi bőrredő vastagságának mérete között összefüggés lehet. Egyszerű, kis eszközigényű antropológiai vizsgálati módszerekkel dolgoztunk, amelyek biztosították azt, hogy a vizsgált fiatalok tápláltsági állapotát objektíven tudjuk felmérni. Sportáganként, vagy akár sportágon belül, az eltérő testi adottságú sportolók az egyes posztokon eltérő eredményeket érhetnek el. Sportág- és/vagy posztspecifikus lehet, hogy milyen testalkatú sportoló lehet az adott sportágban és/vagy pozícióban a legeredményesebb.
Power of Language
Authors: Woodbridge Lindsay
Published: January 2024

While human service professionals are trained to listen carefully to our clients, we receive little training on how to listen to and analyze the professional discourse that surrounds us. In this article, I introduce critical discourse analysis (CDA) as a set of tools for unpacking how power works in forms of discourse such as policy, legislation, and communication between individuals with unequal amounts of power. To illustrate the process and purpose of CDA, I analyze policy text from the counseling profession. Specifically, I analyze the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) Board of Director’s charge to the 2024 CACREP Standards Revision Committee. I examine active versus passive sentence construction, imperative and declarative sentence mode, and speech act values to explore what the language in the charge reveals about how power works in the CACREP standards revision process. The analysis reveals three differing yet co-existing depictions of power. I claim that the Board of Directors used these varying depictions of power to make a claim about the legitimacy of the standards revision process. I conclude with implications for critical discourse analysis as a method for research and as a tool for training and advocacy.

ПЕДАГОГІКА ЗДОРОВ'Я І ЗДОРОВ'ЯЗБЕРІГАЮЧИЙ ПОТЕНЦІАЛ ОСОБИСТОСТІ
Authors: Цибулько Людмила , Чорний Сергій , Бойченко Артем
Published: January 2024

У статті розкривається сутність педагогіки здоров’я та здоров'язберігаючого потенціалу особистості як інтегрованого поняття, що відбиває певну життєву позицію людини, спрямовану на збереження і зміцнення здоров'я та засноване на виконанні норм, правил і вимог особистої та загальної гігієни; визначаються напрями педагогіки здоров'я, що сприяють збереженню та розвитку здоров'я підростаючого покоління: фізкультурно-оздоровче – збереження та розвиток здоров'я дітей, підлітків та юнацтва засобами фізичної культури; лікувально-реабілітаційне (оздоровлення дитячого населення за допомогою фізіо-, фіто-, фармако-, психотерапевтичних заходів та лікувальної фізкультури; гігієно-профілактичне збереження здоров'я учнів через раціональну організацію навчальної діяльності; еколого-зберігаючий розвиток здоров'я при формуванні екологічно доцільного навчально-виховного навчання, організації діяльності здобувачів освіти щодо збереження та розвитку здоров'я за допомогою актуалізації їх особистісного зростання, розвитку рефлексивних здібностей, ціннісного сенсу життєдіяльності, умінь приймати відповідальні рішення за власне здоров'я; забезпечення безпеки життєдіяльності (навчання учнів у ситуаціях, зумовлених природними, техногенними та побутовими факторами); конфесійне - виховання здорової особистості з пріоритетом розвитку духовного життя людини.

Робиться висновок, що в процесі цілеспрямованого розвитку здоров'язберігаючого потенціалу у майбутніх фахівців з фізичної культури відбувається стимулювання усвідомлення здоров'я як особистісної цінності, тобто наявність ціннісного ставлення до здоров'я, розуміння культури здоров'я як складової загальної культури особистості та прагнення здорового способу життя. Розвиток здоров'язберігаючого потенціалу здобувачів освіти має бути однією з основних складових освітнього процесу сучасного закладу освіти, а суспільство, яке прагне жити в гармонії із довкіллям, має не лише декларувати, а й формувати систему цінностей здоров’я у кожного громадянина України.

Authors: Лучанінова Ольга
Published: January 2024

У статті розкрито теоретико-методичні аспекти steam-освіти та їх роль у формуванні soft skills у студентів вищої школи; охарактеризовано підходи, які застосовуються на практиці у процесі формування soft skills у студентів вищої школи: трансдисциплінарний, міждсциплінарний, інтеграційний підходи. Інтегрований підхід до навчання у форматі STEAM-освіти усуває розрив між теоретичними знаннями та їх практичним використанням; трансдисциплінарність, за Піаже, як нова галузь знань, найвищий рівень міждисциплінарних взаємозв'язків, які стирають будь-які грані між дисциплінами у процесі наукових досліджень, може розширити обрії пізнання через мистецтво. У контексті міждисциплінарного підходу до освіти та навчання: переплетення дисциплін і підходів – це хороший спосіб бачити речі по-іншому і діяти по-іншому, спираючись на численні приклади в науці й практиці. Зазначено, що упровадження STEAM у вищу освіту відкриває широкі можливості впливу на підготовку інноваційних фахівців водночас на професійному та особистісному рівнях. Особливу увагу приділено як розумінню теоретичних основ STEAM-освіти, так і готовності викладачів до викладання і мотивації студентів. Пропонується викладачам розробити вибіркові дисципліни або елективні навчальні курси у вигляді презентацій на засадах STEAM-освіти. Подано STEM/STEАM-освіту як інструмент трансформації сучасної вищої освіти; наголошено на привабливості STEAM-освіти, взаємодоповнені soft skills і STEM-компетентностей; доведено актуальність і практичну цінність soft skills у студентів для їхньої майбутньої професійної діяльності. Автором наведено приклади практичного застосування STEM/STEАM-підходів у процесі формування soft skills у студентів вищої освіти на прикладі фахових дисциплін. Креативне, аналітичне, творче, інноваційне мислення, вміння працювати над проєктами в команді, інформаційна грамотність і навички ефективного використання ІКТ – ось неповний перелік soft skills сучасного студента. Запропоновано ввести в освітньо-професійні програми різних спеціальностей інноваційну педагогіку, яка має систему поглядів та ціннісні орієнтації суб'єктів освітнього процесу; враховувати теоретико-методичні аспекти STEM/STEАM-освіти та їх роль у формуванні soft skills у студентів вищої школи та підвищенні кваліфікації викладачів; розробляти автономні модулі здобуття м'яких навичок у поєднанні зі STEM-компетентностями; враховувати потреби стейкхолдерів шляхом розвитку навичок, необхідних на робочому місці; переорієнтувати вищу освіту на розвиток у студентів «soft skills» як вирішення проблеми успішності в майбутній професійній діяльності випускників.

Food Security and the Role of Biotechnology
Authors: Palit Parag , Chowdhury Farhana Tasnim , Khan Haseena
Published: January 2024

Biotechnological approaches are given a greater significance as they continue to show promising potential to facilitate food security. These biotechnologies may consist of manipulation and interference in plant breeding (Marker-assisted plant breeding, mutational breeding) genetically manipulating the crop themselves (GM foods), or even just influencing the environmental factors to bring about the desired changes in the crop production (use of bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides).Some of the greater benefits such as, increased crop yield, enhanced nutritional quality, upgraded ability to adapt and survive, and lengthened shelf-life brought about by these techniques are making developing countries including Bangladesh lean heavily towards the increased commercialization of biotech crops. Even amidst strong oppositions and a few limitations, the popularity of Bt brinjal and the continual development of many biotech rice varieties in Bangladesh alone, further substantiate the favourability of biotech crops and their potential to better the situation favouring both the environment and the economy.

Bioavailability of Nutrients of Public Health Concern and their Association with the Animal/Plant Ratio in Diets of Female Residential Students of Bangladesh
Authors: Sultana Marjia , Hasan Towhid , Islam Saiful , Shaheen Nazma
Published: January 2024

Students, particularly female students, living in university dormitories are susceptible to various nutritional deficiencies due to their improper dietary practice and poor diet quality. Whether food originates from animal or plant sources contributes greatly to the quality of their diets in terms of nutritional adequacy. This study made a bioavailability assessment of four nutrients (vitamin A, iron, protein, and zinc) from students’ diets followed by examining whether bioavailability relates to the animal/plant ratio (A/P) in the diets of female residential students (FRS) of Bangladesh. Previously published dietary algorithms or conversion factors specific to different food groups were used to assess nutrient bioavailability in the diets of 180 (60 for iron) FRS of the University of Dhaka. Nutrient inadequacy was evaluated using i) an individual diet approach (estimating bioavailability from individual diets), and ii) a dietary pattern approach (presuming average bioavailability for mixed diets). The mean absorptions of iron and zinc, quality of protein, and conversion factor for β-carotene were 15.5%, 35.1%, 66.1%, and 17:1, respectively. Among the individual diets, a large range in bioavailability was observed, which was explained inadequately by their A/P. There was a significant difference in inadequacy prevalence when iron and protein bioavailability from individual diets were compared with bioavailability estimates calculated applying average conversion factors for mixed diets. The A/P could not necessarily predict the nutrient bioavailability in FRS diets. Hence, it is important to consider the diet composition when evaluating nutrient adequacy in the diets of FRS and other students.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) supported large-scale social and behaviour change (SBC) intervention, SHIKHA Project, in improving dietary diversity among pregnant women. Cross-sectional survey was conducted in rural southwest Bangladesh and 509, 515, and 1,275 randomly selected pregnant women were interviewed at baseline, midline, and end-line; 514 and 1016 pregnant women from non-intervention areas were also included. SBC intervention was provided to pregnant women at both individual and group levels by trained community health workers during the antenatal and postnatal period. Dietary diversity scores (DDS) and knowledge scores were calculated by summing the number of food groups (from nine defined food groups) consumed by women during 24 hours and from unprompted responses on how many food groups pregnant women should eat. The mean knowledge score for dietary diversity was 5.04 at baseline and significantly increased by 1.68 units (95% CI: 1.51, 1.85) at the end-line. The mean DDS at baseline was 4.28 and significantly increased by 0.45 units (95% CI: 0.34, 0.57) at the end-line. The SBC intervention was effective in improving the dietary diversity of pregnant women, which may help to meet their additional nutritional requirements and improve pregnancy outcomes.

A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted to determine the effects of beta thalassemia trait in pregnancy. A total of 150 pregnant women diagnosed with beta thalassemia trait in Bangladesh Navy Ship (BNS) Patenga Hospital, at Chattogram, Bangladesh, having regular antenatal care and delivery, between January and December of 2022, were included in the study. Thalassemia status was diagnosed by Hb-electrophoresis. Most of the patients belonged to the age group 19-35 years. 30.46% of women had normal hematocrit level. During pregnancy women suffered from severe anemia (14%) and mild anemia (55.33%) (P<0.001). Blood transfusion needed during 1st trimester (1.3%), 2nd trimester (4.6%), 3rd trimester (8%) and at postpartum period (9.3%) (P>0.05). Most of the women (76.66%) delivered babies at her 36-39 weeks of gestational age,18.67% delivered at or after 40 weeks of gestation and 4.67% delivered baby before 36 weeks (P<0.05). 66.67% had normal vaginal delivery, while 33.33% underwent Caesarean section operation due to several complications. Observed obstetric complications were: pregnancy induced hypertension (6.6%), gestational diabetes (4%), oligohydramnios (11.33%, premature rupture membrane (3.3%), preterm labor (8.66%), and placental abruption (1.33%). Adverse fetal outcomes observed were: prematurity (4.6%), intrauterine growth retardation (5.33%), still birth (0.6%), and fetal asphyxia (3.33%). Neonatal admission at NICU was needed in 2(1.33%) cases.

Published: January 2024

Community based medical education has several definitions, but the core definition refers to learning that takes place is need based and in a community setting. Hence, community based medical education refers to medical education in which trainees learn and acquire professional competencies in a community setting based on the need of the community. This concept encourages medical colleges to produce not just highly competent professionals, but professionals who are equipped to respond to the changing challenges of healthcare through re-orientation of their education, research, and service commitments, and be capable of demonstrating a positive effect upon the communities they serve. Such social accountability of a healthcare cum academic institution demonstrates an impact on the communities served and thus, contribute to achieve a just and efficient healthcare service through mutually beneficial partnerships with other stakeholders. Community based medical education can make a difference in the country’s health sector by supporting a community based healthcare delivery system within the concept of National Health Policy and thus, contribute to the overall national efforts in achieving meaningful, self-sustaining quality of life and environment. Besides, it helps bring about change in current educational trait by imposing need-based, flexible academic strategies specific to the rural community and quality of the medical doctors by grooming them as empathetically responsive and active towards patients, professionally competent and ethically sound persons of the society.

Authors: Oh Eun Jung , Jeong Ji Yun , Kim Jae-Hui , Heo Sung Jae
Published: January 2024

Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a rare subtype of soft tissue sarcoma, most commonly occurring in the lower extremities and rarely in the head and neck region. To our knowledge, there have been no reported cases of MFS originating from the maxillary sinus in Korea. Herein, we describe a case of a 61-year-old male who presented with left-sided hypoesthesia and a mass in the maxillary sinus, which was subsequently diagnosed as MFS originating from the maxillary sinus through endoscopic surgery with a prelacrimal approach. The patient was administered postoperative radiation therapy, and after two years of follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence. This report presents a case of successful treatment of MFS in the maxillary sinus.

Denudation is a fundamental process for the development of karst relief. It has different intensity in different geological and climatic condition and beside this many other partial factors influence the intensity and dynamic of the process during the year. In karst systems, there is often a positive correlation between water partial pressure of CO2 and denudation. The Drienovecká jaskyňa Cave spring represents typical active fluviokarstic spring and its catchment area is represented by Wetterstein and Waxenec limestones, and Drienovec conglomerates. This catchment study area is located at the contact of the conti-nental and oceanic climate, in terms of altitude at the border between the lowland and moun-tain climate. During three hydrological years we measured main karst water parameters that helped us bring first results on chemical denudation in the catchment area. The water from the spring is of calcium-magnesium-bicarbonate type. Hydrogeochemical analyses in-dicate that it is mostly water from an open hydrogeological structure. Water of the cave spring is oversaturated with respect to calcite, which is documented by the saturation index of calcite, whose values are higher than the solubility product of calcite. During the studied period, the dynamic of the chemical denudation rate is clearly observable with peaks in spring months in year 2014 and 2016. The average value of denudation rate for the entire period is 21.06 mg Ca2+. Factors that influence chemical denudation include, for example, type of carbonate rock, CO2 partial pressure, water and air temperature, chemical compo-sition of the aqueous solution, activity of soil organisms, vegetation and others. Water from melted snow can also play a significant role in changes in water chemistry and thus chemical denudation. URL: https://www.gcass.science.upjs.sk/
Continuous long-range measurement of tonic dopamine with advanced FSCV for pharmacodynamic analysis of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Park Jeongrak , Kang Seongtak , Lee Yaebin , Choi Ji-Woong , Oh Yong-Seok
Published: January 2024

Levodopa, a dopamine prodrug, alleviates the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but its chronic use gives rise to levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). However, it remains unclear whether levodopa pharmacodynamics is altered during the progressive onset of LID. Using in vivo fast-scan cyclic voltammetry and second-derivative-based background drift removal, we continuously measured tonic dopamine levels using high temporal resolution recording over 1-h. Increases to tonic dopamine levels following acute levodopa administration were slow and marginal within the naïve PD model. However, these levels increased faster and higher in the LID model. Furthermore, we identified a strong positive correlation of dyskinetic behavior with the rate of dopamine increase, but much less with its cumulative level, at each time point. Here, we identified the altered signature of striatal DA dynamics underlying LID in PD using an advanced FSCV technique that demonstrates the long-range dynamics of tonic dopamine following drug administration.
Performance of vertically mounted bifacial photovoltaics under the physical influence of low-rise residential environment in high-latitude locations

Published: January 2024

This study focuses on finding suitable installation sites for vertical bifacial photovoltaic (VBPV) panels in urban low-rise neighborhoods at high latitudes. The power production of east-west-oriented VBPV systems matches well with domestic electricity consumption profiles, increasing the self-consumption of PV electricity. Furthermore, PV electricity adds economic value by avoiding transmission fees and taxes. These systems are especially beneficial in high-latitude locations characterized by a low solar elevation angle. However, these low angles expose VBPV panels to a high risk of shading losses from their surroundings, and it is unknown how much shading limits the number of suitable installation sites. Here, environmental shading on VBPV panels is quantified for three low-rise residential neighborhoods in Helsinki, a high-latitude location, by comparing the specific yields (annual electricity production per kilowatt peak) of VBPV and monofacial PV (MPV) systems. The results showed that unshaded VBPV systems have a higher specific yield than their MPV counterparts. However, in densely built neighborhoods with tall trees, the lack of suitable installation sites for VBPV panels severely limits the peak power of these systems. Roof ridge VBPVs usually yield high production, while façade- and ground-mounted systems lose between 30% and 70% compared to roof ridge VBPV systems depending on their installation locations. South-oriented MPVs perform better than VBPVs on north-south-facing roofs, both in terms of specific yield and total annual production. Conversely, VBPVs installed on the ridges of unshaded roofs aligned closely with the north-south axis outperform MPVs on east- and west-facing roofs by 20%–30%.
