Heart rate and body temperature are one of the determining factors or vital signs in the selection of health. Measurements regarding heart and body temperature are carried out to determine the clinical signs and are useful to confirm the diagnosis of a disease. In the process of checking the heart rate and body temperature still use conventional equipment such as a stethoscope and glass thermometer. The measurement process is done one by one then the process of recording the results of measurements is done by hand. this system is less effective because it takes a lot of time. In this study a monitoring system was developed that refutes the state of integrated body temperature, the measurement results related to the patient's health status installed through a desktop-based application. This monitoring process is carried out using a heart rate sensor to deny the heart rate and a DS18B20 sensor to measure body temperature. Input data processing from the second sensor is done using a microcontroller. The method used to make this research is a prototype. Overall this system is able to measure heart rate and body temperature, equipped with a user interface feature using LabView that can display heart rate, body temperature and to find out the level of health from the research results obtained an error value of 2.26% to measure heart rate and 0.81% for body temperature measurements.

Berlin war am 16. April 2024 das Zentrum der Internationalen Altpapierbranche. Etwa 500 Gäste nahmen vor Ort und online am Internationalen Altpapiertag des bvse Fachverbandes Papierrecycling im Estrell Hotel in Berlin teil. In diesem Jahr bestimmten zwei große Themen die Tagung: Dies waren zum einen die Zukunft der Rezyklierbarkeit faserbasierter Verpackungen, denn nicht alle faserbasierten Verpackungen sind heute auch recycelbar und viele Verpackungen werden noch zu oft von den Verbrauchern in den falschen Behältern entsorgt. Das zweite Thema war der Brandschutz in Recyclinganlagen, denn steigende Preise für Brandschutzversicherungen und gekündigte Versicherungsverträge bringen die Recyclingunternehmen zunehmend in Bedrängnis.
Pregnancy and diabetic retinopathy
Authors: Rashidian Pegah
Published: June 2024

Background: An increase in the worldwide prevalence of diabetes, especially among younger populations, has led to a higher prevalence of pre-existing diabetes among pregnant women. The precise mechanisms underlying the development or progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) during pregnancy are not entirely understood. This narrative review incorporates all available data to offer fresh insights into the pathogenesis and mechanisms of the pregnancy-induced development and/or progression of DR. Moreover, the author aims to offer clinical recommendations for DR both before conception and during pregnancy to appropriately counsel these susceptible patients.
Methods: A literature search was performed using various combinations of the following keywords: diabetes, pregnancy, diabetic retinopathy, ocular, eye, retina, microangiopathy, mechanism, pathophysiology, hyperglycemia, hypoxia, neovascularization, growth factors, immune system, blood flow, and recommendations. The search was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, and only English articles published from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023, involving human participants, were considered. The International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas website was searched for clinical recommendations.
Results: Pregnancy-induced hyperglycemia, blood flow changes, growth factors, and the immune system play important roles in the development and progression of DR. Hyperglycemia leads to significant stress on the capillary endothelium through increased glucose flux via the polyol and hexosamine pathways, activation of protein kinase C, and increased formation of advanced glycation end-products. These pathways act in several ways that may lead to increased oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular blockage. Thus, eye examinations are crucial before, during, and up to 12 months after pregnancy. Individuals with severe non-proliferative and proliferative DR should gradually decrease their blood glucose levels to near-normal levels over a period of 6 months before conception. Statins and medications inhibiting the renin–angiotensin system should be discontinued before pregnancy or at the initial antenatal visit if they are still being used. Retinal examinations should be performed shortly after conception and during the first trimester using tropicamide eye drops and digital imaging. Subsequent examinations should be scheduled based on DR severity at the initial examination.
Conclusions: While the precise mechanism underlying the progression of DR during pregnancy remains uncertain, the available literature suggests that pregnancy-induced hyperglycemia, blood flow changes, growth factors, and the immune system play important roles in its development and progression. Pregnant women with diabetic eye manifestations benefit from the expertise of multidisciplinary teams comprising ophthalmologists, diabetologists, and gynecologists to improve both maternal and perinatal outcomes. Moreover, postpartum follow-up requires special attention.
Impact of the Petroleum Tax System in Norway on the evolution of money market and bond yields. Considerations from the “atypical” year 2022
Authors: OPREA Andreea
Published: June 2024

We call the year 2022 as “atypical” for the Norwegian budget, given the record revenue that was achieved due to increases in oil and gas prices. After the Russian invasion in Ukraine in 2022, and the subsequent oil cut deliveries from Russia, Norway became Europe's largest supplier of natural gas. The event lead to Norway generating the highest oil and gas tax revenue ever recorded by the Scandinavian government, with spill-over effects on the economy as a whole and on the money market liquidity and hence interest rates in particular.Given the benefit that the Scandinavian state ended up with, as a result of the war in Ukraine, some researchers even argue about its so-called status of “war profiteer”.Also, the Norwegian Krone (NOK) significantly benefited from the demand of local currency from the oil and gas companies, especially in October 2022, when the second yearly tax installment was due. Money market rates skyrocketed in that particular period, as the structural liquidity decreased, signaling the level of oil and gas taxes (and hence the market demand for NOK to pay them) was markedly beyond Norges Bank estimations.
English-majored Students’ Problems in Listening Comprehension: The Case of a University in Vietnam
Authors: Nhan Lam Ky
Published: June 2024

The article looks into the difficulties that English-majored students face when it comes to listening comprehension in a Vietnamese university. Listening comprehension, a fundamental skill in language learning, is often challenging for students despite its importance. This study uses a qualitative research approach to investigate the specific challenges that English-majored students have in their listening comprehension abilities. Data is collected using a painstakingly crafted questionnaire instrument, which is targeted to elicit specific comments from participants about their listening comprehension experiences and issues. The findings highlight a variety of barriers to students’ listening comprehension, ranging from language competence levels and exposure to different accents to a lack of realistic listening materials and inefficient tactics. The study emphasizes the necessity of addressing these issues through focused treatments, such as the use of realistic listening materials, more listening practice opportunities, and the teaching of effective listening methods. Teachers can optimize English language training techniques and nurture better language competency among English-majoring students in Vietnamese institutions by addressing the specific needs revealed by the questionnaire instrument.
THE RELATIONSHIP OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF
THE TECHNIQUE OF THROWING WITH THE STANDING LEG LEFT FROM THE BACK
Authors: Paspalj Darko , Rađević Nenad , Vulin Lazar , Kovačević Saša
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The aim of the work was to determine the connection between morphological characteristics and the effectiveness of the
throwing technique by kicking the legs from behind from the program of Special Physical Education (SPE). The sample of
respondents consisted of 84 students (male), first year of the Faculty of Security Sciences from Banja Luka. The variable
sample was composed of 17 tests for the evaluation of morphological characteristics, which were the independent variables
and the dependent variable OSOTOG, which was the average grade of the performance of the kicking technique from the SPE
program. The regression analysis did not establish a statistically significant connection between the efficiency of performing
the throwing technique by striking the landing leg from behind and the selected set of predictor variables for the assessment
of morphological characteristics. Only the elbow diameter variable (ADIJLA) gave a statistically significant contribution to the
explanation of the criteria variable OSOTOG. Based on the value of the Beta coefficients, we can see that the variables: body
weight (ATETJ) and leg length (ADUZNO) have significant positive partial correlations with the criterion variable, while
negative correlations were achieved by the variables: elbow diameter (ADIJLA), body height (AVISTJ) and length hands
(ADUZRU). The obtained results could be used in terms of improving the quality of the performance of certain program
contents of the SPE, when choosing the appropriate technique within the motor program when solving certain problem
situations from the SPE program.

Abstract
The research is based on a sample of 132 cadet basketball players (69 successful cadets and 63 less successful cadets) from
12 participating clubs of the Sarajevo Canton cadet basketball league. The main goal of the research was to determine the
structure of the somatic characteristics of young cadet basketball players using a cross-section. The total sample of
basketball players divided into two groups of cadet basketball players, divided according to quality, statistically significantly
differ in the analyzed somatic parameters. The group of better quality basketball players has better values in all analyzed
somatic characteristics. The sample of variables in this research consisted of a set of 14 measuring instruments used to assess
the somatic characteristics of young basketball players. After determining, i.e. adjusting the data values to characteristics
that are suitable and valid for the use of designed analyzes and providing exact answers to the defined hypotheses, the
following procedures were used for data processing and analysis in this paper: - multivariate analysis of variance (Manova)
to determine the differences between groups of successful and less successful basketball players by somatic characteristics;
- univariate F tests to determine significance for classifying respondents into groups based on the level of their basketball
performance.
The results of this research can be useful to coaches for better programming of the training process in working with young
basketball players, as well as a good basis for scientists for future research on populations of young basketball players.

Photoenhanced sulfate formation by the heterogeneous uptake of SO2 on non-photoactive mineral dust
Authors: Yang Wangjin , Ma Jiawei , Yang Hongxing , Li Fu , Han Chong
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Heterogeneous uptake of SO2 on mineral dust is a predominant formation pathway of sulfates, whereas the contribution of photo-induced SO2 oxidation to sulfates on the dust interfaces still remains unclear. Here, we investigated heterogeneous photochemical reactions of SO2 on five mineral oxides (SiO2, kaolinite, Al2O3, MgO, and CaO) without photocatalytic activity. Light enhanced the uptake of SO2, and its enhancement effects negatively depended on the basicity of mineral oxides. The initial uptake coefficient (γ0,BET) and the steady-state uptake coefficient (γs,BET) of SO2 positively relied on light intensity, relative humidity (RH), and O2 content, while they exhibited a negative relationship with the initial SO2 concentration. Rapid sulfate formation during photo-induced heterogeneous reactions of SO2 with all mineral oxides was confirmed to be ubiquitous, and H2O and O2 played key roles in the conversion of SO2 to sulfates. In particular, triplet states of SO2 (3SO2) were suggested to be the trigger for photochemical sulfate formation. Atmospheric implications supported a potential contribution of interfacial SO2 photochemistry on non-photoactive mineral dust to atmospheric sulfate sources.
Synergistic approach of frozen hydrometeor retrievals: considerations on radiative transfer and model uncertainties in a simulated framework
Authors: Villeneuve Ethel , Chambon Philippe , Fourrié Nadia
Published: June 2024

Abstract. In cloudy situations, infrared (IR) and microwave (MW) observations are complementary, with infrared observations being sensitive to small cloud droplets and ice particles and with microwave observations being sensitive to precipitation. This complementarity can lead to fruitful synergies in precipitation science (e.g., Kidd and Levizzani, 2022). However, several sources of errors do exist in the treatment of infrared and microwave data that could prevent such synergy. This paper studies several of these sources to estimate their impact on retrievals. To do so, simulations from the radiative transfer (RT) for TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder (RTTOV v13) are used to build simulated observations. Indeed, we make use of a fully simulated framework to explain the impacts of the identified errors. A combination of infrared and microwave frequencies is built within a Bayesian inversion framework. Synergy is studied using different experiments: (i) with several sources of errors eliminated, (ii) with only one source of errors considered at a time and (iii) with all sources of errors together. The derived retrievals of frozen hydrometeors for each experiment are examined in a statistical study of 15 d in summer and 15 d in winter over the Atlantic Ocean. One of the main outcomes of the study is that the combination of infrared and microwave frequencies takes advantage of the strengths of both spectral ranges, leading to more accurate retrievals. Each source of error has more or less impact depending on the type of hydrometeor. Another outcome of the study is that, in all cases explored, even though the radiative transfer and numerical modeling errors may decrease the magnitude of benefits generated by the combination of infrared and microwave frequencies, the compromise remains positive.
A three-part bias correction of simulated European river runoff to force ocean models
Authors: Hagemann Stefan , Nguyen Thao Thi , Ho-Hagemann Ha Thi Minh
Published: June 2024

Abstract. In ocean or Earth system model applications, the riverine freshwater inflow is an important flux affecting salinity and marine stratification in coastal areas. However, in climate change studies, the river runoff based on climate model output often has large biases on local, regional or even basin-wide scales. If these biases are too large, the ocean model forced by the runoff will drift into a different climate state compared to the observed state, which is particularly relevant for semi-enclosed seas such as the Baltic Sea. In order to meet the requirements for low biases in river runoff, we have developed a three-part bias correction that includes different correction factors for low, medium and high percentile ranges of river runoff over Europe. Here, we present an experimental setup using the Hydrological Discharge (HD) model and its high-resolution (1/12°) grid. First, bias correction factors are derived at the locations of the downstream stations with available daily discharge observations for many European rivers. These factors are then transferred to the respective river mouths and mapped to neighbouring grid boxes belonging to ungauged catchments. The results show that the bias correction generally leads to an improved representation of river runoff. Especially over Northern Europe, where many rivers are regulated, the three-part bias correction provides an advantage compared to a bias correction that only corrects the mean bias of the river runoff. Evaluating two NEMO ocean model simulations in the German Bight indicated that the use of the bias corrected discharges as forcing leads to an improved simulation of sea surface salinity in coastal areas. Although in the present study, the bias correction is tailored to the high-resolution HD model grid over Europe, the methodology is suitable for any high-resolution model region with a sufficiently high coverage of river runoff observations. It is also noted that the methodology is applicable to river runoff based on climate hindcasts as well as on historical climate simulations where the sequence of weather events does not match the actual observed history. Therefore, it may also be applied in climate change simulations.
Global biogeography of N2-fixing microbes: nifH amplicon database and analytics workflow
Authors: Morando Michael , Magasin Jonathan , Cheung Shunyan , Mills Matthew M. , Zehr Jonathan P. , Turk-Kubo Kendra A.
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Marine nitrogen (N) fixation is a globally significant biogeochemical process carried out by a specialized group of prokaryotes (diazotrophs), yet our understanding of their ecology is constantly evolving. Although marine dinitrogen (N2)-fixation is often ascribed to cyanobacterial diazotrophs, indirect evidence suggests that non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs (NCDs) might also be important. One widely used approach for understanding diazotroph diversity and biogeography is polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplification of a portion of the nifH gene, which encodes a structural component of the N2-fixing enzyme complex, nitrogenase. An array of bioinformatic tools exists to process nifH amplicon data, however, the lack of standardized practices has hindered cross-study comparisons. This has led to a missed opportunity to more thoroughly assess diazotroph biogeography, diversity, and their potential contributions to the marine N cycle. To address these knowledge gaps a bioinformatic workflow was designed that standardizes the processing of nifH amplicon datasets originating from high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Multiple datasets are efficiently and consistently processed with a specialized DADA2 pipeline to identify amplicon sequence variants (ASVs). A series of customizable post-pipeline stages then detect and discard spurious nifH sequences and annotate the subsequent quality-filtered nifH ASVs using multiple reference databases and classification approaches. This newly developed workflow was used to reprocess nearly all publicly available nifH amplicon HTS datasets from marine studies, and to generate a comprehensive nifH ASV database containing 7909 ASVs aggregated from 21 studies that represent the diazotrophic populations in the global ocean. For each sample, the database includes physical and chemical metadata obtained from the Simons Collaborative Marine Atlas Project (CMAP). Here we demonstrate the utility of this database for revealing global biogeographical patterns of prominent diazotroph groups and highlight the influence of sea surface temperature. The workflow and nifH ASV database provide a robust framework for studying marine N2 fixation and diazotrophic diversity captured by nifH amplicon HTS. Future datasets that target understudied ocean regions can be added easily, and users can tune parameters and studies included for their specific focus. The workflow and database are available, respectively, in GitHub (https://github.com/jdmagasin/nifH-ASV-workflow; Morando et al., 2024) and Figshare (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.23795943.v1; Morando et al., 2024).
Two new clavate Fragilariopsis and one new Rouxia diatom species with biostratigraphic and paleoenvironmental applications for the Pliocene-Pleistocene, East Antarctica
Authors: Duke Grace , Frazer Josie , Taylor-Silva Briar , Riesselman Christina
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Three new pennate diatom taxa, Fragilariopsis clava sp. nov. Duke; Fragilariopsis armandae sp. nov. Frazer, Duke et Riesselman; and Rouxia raggattensis sp. nov. Duke et Riesselman, are described and named from Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments collected from the continental rise adjacent to the Wilkes Land coast of East Antarctica. The stratigraphic occurrence of F. clava and F. armandae at IODP Site U1361 are well-constrained to Marine Isotope Stages G9-G7 (2.76–2.74 Ma) and 101–97 (2.58–2.47 Ma), respectively. The short stratigraphic ranges of F. clava and F. armandae are potentially useful biostratigraphic markers for constraining the age of late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene Antarctic sediments. Rouxia raggattensis is observed in the oldest sample examined at Site U1361 from ∼4.05 Ma and is more common between 3.0–2.15 Ma. The rise in abundance of R. raggattensis corresponds to a large turnover in diatom species between 3 and 2 Ma associated with Antarctic cooling, suggesting that sea surface conditions were favorable for R. raggattensis during this dynamic time. Clavate Fragilariopsis species diversified between 2.9–2.7 Ma, but some species quickly went extinct between 2.7–2.5 Ma, possibly because they were marginalized by the cooler climate conditions.
Sharing Responsibility for Disaster Justice: An analysis of submissions to the 2023 Senate Select Committee on Australia’s Disaster Resilience

Published: June 2024

In February 2022, millions of Australians were glued to their televisions and social media watching rolling footage of flooding in South-East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. When the rain finally ceased and the flood water subsided, residents were left to contend with damage estimated to exceed A$4.8 billion and an aftermath that extends to the present day (Insurance Council of Australia, 2022). With climate change accelerating, climate change-related disasters increasing, and finite government resources unable to adequately cover Australia’s vast regions, governments at all levels, not-for-profit (NFP) companies, communities, and individuals alike are increasingly cognisant, through experience, of the need to improve disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. This briefing paper identifies key themes and related policy and practical implications from the more than 150 submissions to the 2023 Senate Select Committee Inquiry on Australia’s Disaster Resilience, which examined Australia’s disaster preparedness, response, and recovery workforce models (the inquiry). The terms of reference require the committee to consider: the role, impact and ongoing capacity and capability of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), civil and volunteer groups, NFPs, and state-based services in responding to and preparing for disasters; the support required to improve Australia’s resilience to natural disasters; and alternative workforce models for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery (Australian Government, 2024).
Economic Value Added (EVA) And its Calculation Features in Banks

Published: June 2024

As a financial organization each commercial bank in order to solve its tasks, must
perform a number of operations that play a primary role not only in the bank's
activities, but also in the development of the economy as a whole and its individual
industries. The effectiveness of corporate governance and the use of resources directly
affect the economic development of the country, providing a positive financial result.
Therefore, the analysis of the bank's financial indicators is especially important for
management to maintain the stability of the company and increase its market share (AL
Osaimi, 2019).
The passive operations of Ardshinbank CJSC, considering possible scenarios for
their change, are analyzed in the given article. The goal is to identify what additional
economic value the bank creates and how attractive it is from the investors’ point of
view. Forecasts of EVA components for 2023 have been implemented in Excel, using
the tools of Polynomial and Exponential Trend line. The impact of the given components
on EVA have been considered, and the bonus plan system based on the EVA indicator
for managers has been calculated, which will greatly stimulate the use of the EVA
indicator in banks. A regression model has been performed to identify the mutual link
between the EVA indicator and the Bonus plan. The latter can become quite an
interesting tool for bank managers in management decision-making.
Assessment of the Impact of GDP on Atmospheric Emissions in the Republic of Armenia

Published: June 2024

Every year scientists, especially economists, pay more and more attention to
environmental issues, since their existence and the risks of further aggravation threaten
the possibility of sustainable economic development and ensuring public welfare. In
general, the most urgent and risky of the environmental issues is the atmospheric air
pollution, which is a negative result of the economic activity of the society, which causes
the involvement of economic thought in assessing the impact of economic activity on
atmospheric emissions.
In this work taking into account the best international experience in assessing the
impact of economic activity on atmospheric emissions and in order to get an idea of the
compliance of the RA economy with the green standards, with the help of econometric
models, an assessment of the impact of GDP volumes on atmospheric emissions in
Armenia has been carried out. In particular, within the framework of the study using the
ARDL model with time series, the dependencies between two key indicators have been
studied: the volumes of harmful substances released into the atmosphere and the
volumes of GDP in the period from 2000 to 2022, taking into account the impact of
global economic crises. As a result, it has been revealed that in the short and long term
there is a direct relationship between atmospheric emissions and GDP volumes, in
particular, an increase in GDP by 1% in the short term in a given year, all other things
being equal, leads to an increase in emissions by an average of 0.2% in a given year,
and in the long term, an increase in GDP by 1%, all other things being equal, after 12
years will be accompanied by an increase in emissions by an average of 0.6%, which is
quite worrying and is an impetus for the need of greening the RA economy.

The cadastral assessment and net income of agricultural lands in the Republic of Armenia are determined by the government decision of July 3, 1997 No. 237 “On approval of the state land cadastre data of agricultural lands and unsuitable lands of the Republic of Armenia”. Agricultural lands are changed by decision of the Government of the Republic of Armenia dated September 17, 2009 No. 1066-N “On approval of the procedure for changing agricultural lands of the Republic of Armenia”. In this article, we examined some aspects of the current methodology, which, in our opinion, require revision or additional arguments. We calculated the missing values in the Appendix to Decision N 237 of 1997 of the Government of Armenia. These values are the net income of some groups of cadastral assessments of agricultural lands using the formula in the article. The map of land-cadastral zoning of the Republic of Armenia, which has not yet been digitized, was digitized for the first time and schematically presented in the article.

Published: June 2024

El audio digital ha revolucionado la producción de contenido, ofreciendo nuevas dinámicas de distribución y negocio. La profesionalización en la creación de pódcast está siendo crucial involucrando roles como anfitriones, guionistas, diseñadores sonoros, productores, técnicos y entre otros, una figura clave en este proceso es la Producción Ejecutiva (PE), encargada de coordinar todos los aspectos del proyecto, desde lo creativo hasta lo financiero. El desafío del podcasting radica en ser considerado como una actividad audiovisual más allá de la radio, generando contenido narrativo complejo y culturalmente relevante. Aunque escasamente documentada en español, la PE se relaciona con el modelo norteamericano del productor ejecutivo, quien combina roles económicos, logísticos y creativos en la producción.

Published: June 2024

En la era digital, el sonido emerge como un recurso crucial en la estrategia de comunicación de las marcas, gracias a su omnipresencia e injerencia en nuestra percepción del mundo. A medida que el consumo de audio online se intensifica, el audiobranding evoluciona desde las técnicas promocionales tradicionales hacia estrategias que fomentan conexiones emocionales profundas y duraderas. Estas tácticas transforman a las marcas en «lovermarks» que capturan el corazón y la mente del consumidor a través de la emoción y el sentimiento. El resurgimiento del podcasting como medio flexible y poderoso para la narrativa de marca permite la producción de contenidos educativos y de entretenimiento alineados con la marca Este enfoque ofrece a las empresas un canal directo para contar historias que resuenan con los oyentes, reforzando su imagen de una forma auténtica y personalizada. La producción de los llamados branded podcast enriquecen la presencia de una marca pero también transforman su relación con el público, convirtiéndolos en un formato imprescindible para hacerse oír —de forma literal y figurada— entre un contexto de saturación comunicativa.

Development of new innovative sustainable fibres from agricultural waste are in great demand these days. For the expansion of these fibres at commercial level, understanding about physicochemical properties of these fibres and specifically their dyeing behavior is essential. In this consequence, in the present study, a natural lignin-cellulosic fibers were extracted by a simplistic route, from lotus silk. The fibers were turn in to yarn by hand twisting and then natural as well as chemical dyeing was performed by the standard dyeing method established for cotton dyeing. Natural henna dye, C.I Reactive blue and indigo dye was used in the present study. Physico chemical properties and dyeing mechanism of the prepared fibers were studied and analyzed in detail in comparison with cotton cellulosic fibres. The lotus fibers were described for their organic construction and morphology by FT-IR spectroscopy and Scanning Electronic Microscopy respectively. Tensile strength, moisture regain and elongation percentage at break were also evaluated. The outcomes revealed that lotus fibers are cellulosic in nature same as cotton but with higher moisture absorption and lower crystallinity as compared to cotton fibers. Lotus fibers revealed higher color strength and color co-ordinates when compared to cotton fibers dyeing. Hollow and irregular fiber surface of lotus fibers along with higher moisture absorption and low crystallinity are the major reasons for higher chemical reactivity and absorption of dyes. The tensile strength and elongation observed in lotus fibers are suitable to be used these fibers in textile products. Lotus fibres from the agricultural waste can be a new source of sustainable textile products for future applications.
Localized Corrosion Behavior of Carbon Steel as a Function of Surface Temperature and Water Condensation Rate at the Top of Oil and Gas Pipelines

Published: June 2024

Pitting corrosion in carbon steel can be complex and largely unpredictable, making it challenging to inhibit the propagation of pits once they have formed. The CO2 corrosion mechanism is subject to various influencing factors, including temperature, pH solution, and the duration of exposure to corrosive media. Additionally, the characteristics and structure of the protective films formed play a role in determining the likelihood of pit initiation and propagation on carbon steel surfaces.
This research explores the correlation between the pitting corrosion characteristics of carbon steel and varying surface temperatures and water condensation rates in CO2-saturated environments, specifically in the top-of-line scenario. The effect of the water condensation rate (WCR) on the TLC rate was investigated at surface temperatures of 15°C, and 40°C.
At a relatively low surface temperature of 15°C, Fig. (6results demonstrate that increasing the WCR above 0.712 ml/m2·s.
Pitting corrosion was studied under different conditions using the surface profilometry technique. Understanding the kinetics of FeCO3 film formation, including its presence and absence, is essential in assessing the potential for localized corrosion.
During a 7-day exposure period, under specific conditions of water condensation rate and steel temperature, a partially protective corrosion film developed. Nevertheless, localized corrosion was distinctly evident on the steel surface. Over time, pits appeared to be deepening, particularly at higher steel temperatures and the maximum depth was  at  .

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Open long bone fractures are a major concern for pediatric patients due to the risk of surgical site infection (SSI). Early studies have recommended irrigation and debridement of open fractures within 6 hours-8 hours for the prevention of SSI. According to the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Best Practice Guidelines, in 2015, irrigation and debridement should be done within 24 hours.

AIM

To identify whether early irrigation and debridement, within 8 hours, vs late, between 8 hours and 24 hours, for pediatric open long bone fractures impacts rate of SSI.

METHODS

Using retrospective data review from the National Trauma Data Bank, Trauma Quality Improvement Project (TQIP) of 2019. TQIP database is own by the ACS and it is the largest database for trauma quality program in the world. Propensity matching analysis was performed for the study.

RESULTS

There were 390 pediatric patients with open long bone fractures who were included in the study. After completing propensity score matching, we had 176 patients in each category, irrigation and debridement within 8 hours and irrigation and debridement between 8 hours and 24 hours. We found no significant differences between each group for the rate of deep SSI which was 0.6% for patients who received surgical irrigation and debridement within 8 hours and 1.1% for those who received it after 8 hours [adjusted odd ratio (AOR): 0.5, 95%CI: 0.268-30.909, P > 0.99]. For the secondary outcomes studied, in terms of length of hospital stay, patients who received irrigation and debridement within 8 hours stayed for an average of 3.5 days, and those who received it after 8 hours stayed for an average of 3 days, with no significant difference found, and there were also no significant differences found between the discharge dispositions of the patients.

CONCLUSION

Our findings support the recommendation for managing open long bone fractures from the ACS: Complete surgical irrigation and debridement within 24 hours.
