The lyricism of revolution: A choreographic analysis of the 2003 and 2014 protests in Hong Kong
Authors: Leung Maggie
Published: December 2023

Through the 2003 and 2014 protests in Hong Kong, this paper proposes using choreographic analysis for the study of social movements in terms of corporal movements. By looking at the organization of actions and creation of postures and gestures and all the movements driven by the mental force lyricism, choreographic analysis seeks to identify and articulate the infinite potential, realized and not, revealed in a revolution, that marks the latter as a singular moment of eternity that produces new thoughts. As the case of Hong Kong shows in the light of this method, the site of radical politics locates in the persisting colonial alienation that separates the people from the authority.

Authors: Isotupa Jasmin
Published: December 2023

Maisterin tutkielmassani ”Juolavehnän hallinta eri muokkausmenetelmillä kevätviljan viljelyssä” tavoitteena oli selvittää, miten erilaiset muokkausmenetelmät soveltuvat juolavehnän torjuntaan kevätviljoilla. Muokkausmenetelmistä mukana tutkimuksessa olivat kevytmuokkaus, kyntö sekä näiden yhdistelmä, juolannostinkäsittely ja pikakesannointi juolannostimella. Muokkausmenetelmiä verrattiin suorakylvöön ja nähtiin, että ensimmäisen tutkimusvuoden aikana pikakesannointi vähensi juolavehnää eniten.

Within the framework of antiplane deformation, the dynamic contact problem of the directed propagation of plane shear electroelastic waves in a layer with mixed boundary conditions is studied. The case is considered when both mechanical and electrical conditions are mixed on the boundary planes. The solution of the problem, in the general case, is reduced to a system of four integral equations with hypersingular kernels. Explicit expressions are obtained for the wave functions representing the field of electroelastic displacements in the waveguide and the electric field in the vacuum half-spaces in contact with the waveguide.
The Vatican-Al-Azhar Dialogues: Implications for Socioeconomic Empowerment in Muslim-Christian Interactions
Authors: Hemmet Abdullah
Published: December 2023

The Vatican-Al-Azhar Dialogues symbolize optimism within an ever more integrated international society, demonstrating the possibilities for productive interfaith dialogue. The partnership between the Holy See and Al-Azhar is a pioneering in surpassing ideological differences in order to prioritise commonly held principles. The forum has facilitated significant dialogues that have resulted in favourable outcomes regarding the relationships between those who identify as Muslims and Christians. Significantly, the conversations have resulted in significant socio-economic empowerment by addressing poverty-related concerns and promoting the inclusive involvement of all segments of society. In addition to religious factors, that has emerged as a significant driver of constructive social transformation. The Vatican-Al-Azhar Dialogues play a crucial role in fostering authentic interfaith communication. The dialogue platform, formed by the Holy See and Al-Azhar, exemplifies a paradigm for fostering healthy discourse among diverse religious groups. The concept surpasses the limitations associated with religious beliefs, emphasizing mutually held principles and collective objectives, hence creating a setting that is favourable to productive interactions. The Dialogues facilitate the establishment of stronger links between Muslims and Christians by emphasizing areas of agreement rather than focusing on ideological disagreements. The relationship has a noteworthy influence on socio-economic empowerment. The Dialogues have shown a steadfast dedication to tackling matters about poverty and pushing for the incorporation of all individuals into society, irrespective of their religious beliefs.

Published: December 2023

Background: Epilepsy, characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures, poses a significant global burden on individuals and healthcare systems. Accurate identification of underlying causes is vital for optimal intervention. However, studies reveal a lack of standardized approaches, potentially resulting in unnecessary investigations. Objective: We aimed to highlight the importance of avoiding unnecessary testing to minimize healthcare costs and resource waste. Methods: In the Emergency Department of King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFUH) in Alkhobar, a retrospective cross-sectional study encompassed 190 patients presenting with seizures from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. The study aimed to elucidate the epidemiological profile and distinguish clinical and demographic factors between new onset seizures and known cases. Results: The study included 190 epilepsy cases, with 51.1% known and 48.9% new onset. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures were prominent (43.2%), and non-compliance (24.2%) was a leading cause. New onset seizures were associated with abnormal CT findings (p=0.025), drug use (74.2%), and intoxication (6.5%). Demographically, Saudis showed higher new onset prevalence (82.8%, p=0.001). Conclusion: The average length of stay was 5.93 hours, and the distribution of new vs. known cases was nearly equal among the 190 patients. Laboratory findings showed no significant associations with either group, mostly falling within the normal range. To optimize care further, we recommend continued refinement of protocols, emphasis on medication compliance.

Published: December 2023

Background: Headaches are among the most common complaints observed in neurology and medicine, notably migraines and tension-type headaches (TTH). Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare hematologic parameters comprised hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, leukocytes, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelets-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) between migraineurs and tension-type headache patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 23 migraineurs and 23 TTH-diagnosed patients, in accordance with the International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 beta version (ICHD-3-beta). The patients underwent hematological laboratory testing, which included assessments of their serum levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, leucocytes as well as neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes. Results: There were significant differences in the mean platelets serum levels between migraineurs and TTH patients, with migraineurs having 355.3 x 103/μl (SD±47.4 x 103/μl) and TTH patients having 282.0 x 103 /μl (SD± 44.2 x 103) /μl, respectively (p = 0.001). However, there were no differences in the mean level of hemoglobin, hematocrit and leukocytes between the two groups. There was also a significant difference in PLR between migraineurs and TTH patients, with a ratio of 138.1 (SD±36.0) in migraineurs and 110.2 (SD±21.9) in TTH patients (p =0.003), but no differences in NLR or LMR. Conclusion: The mean serum levels of platelets and platelets-to-lymphocyte ratio of migraineurs were significantly higher than TTH patients. However, there were no differences in the mean levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocytes, NLR and LMR between the two groups.

Published: December 2023

Background: Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs), also, known as coronary arteriovenous malformation, are aberrant connections between coronary arteries and other structures, such as other artery branches or heart chambers. CAFs are infrequent and asymptomatic in young patients, but symptoms and complications become more frequent with age. CAFs can affect hemodynamic parameters and lead to complications, such as myocardial ischemia, heart failure, arrhythmia, and infective endocarditis. Objective: The aim of this article was to present a typical CAF case with severe symptoms who underwent successful embolization to resolve their symptoms. Case presentation: A 50-year-old Vietnamese male visited our cardiac outpatient clinic (S.I.S General Hospital, Can Tho, Vietnam) because of exertional dyspnea and chest pain. Signs of congestive heart failure and abnormal murmur were not presented on chest auscultation. Diagnostic digital subtraction angiography was performed to determine the detailed angioarchitecture of the CAF, revealing a fistulous connection between the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and the LV chamber through an aneurysm. In addition, the RCA measured 7 mm in diameter with a fistula (16 × 9 mm) draining into an aneurysm and then terminating into the LV chamber. The patient had an RCA aneurysm with a fistula into the LV. It was treated successfully by closing the fistula with a vascular plug. Access to the fistula was complex and difficult because of complications due to the CAF. After the procedure, the patient had no chest pain or shortness of breath and was discharged after three days. After six months, he was taking dual antiplatelet therapy and antihypertensive medications and felt better. We performed contrast computed tomography (CT) to examine the fistula after a year, which showed the successful closure of the fistula without any relevant alteration in the coronary artery. Conclusion: CAF closure is indicated if patients have symptoms or secondary complications, and percutaneous closure is a safe and effective method to manage CAF. A CAF is rare and does not have specific symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose. Most patients are asymptomatic and have serious recent complications. Currently, the percutaneous transcatheter method is popular because it is noninvasive and successful in most patients.

Published: December 2023

During the archaeological excavation of the memorial place (türbe) of the Ottoman sultan Suleiman I, a moat was revealed north of the memorial place in 2015. The moat system was identified by boreholes and excavated in 2015, when 30–30 liter samples were taken from the 250 cm deep moat at 15 cm intervals for archaeobotanical and anthracological analyses. Samples were taken at 10 cm intervals for pollen studies from the archaeological profile of the moat filling. In our publication, based on the previously presented geochronological results, our aim was to reconstruct the vegetation around the memorial tomb of Suleiman, on the basis of archaeobotanical, anthracological and pollen analytical data. We were able to reconstruct ploughed lands (cereal cultivation), vegetable, fruit and vineyards, pasture lands, forest patches and trampled areas related to human activity (settlement). The military census of 1689 indicated similar tract of land structure of the crop production areas. The tomb and the Islamic pilgrimage monastery and pilgrim town (Ottoman name was Türbe kasabası) were demolished from 1692/1693 and divided into agricultural zones, where orchards, arable lands, gardens and vineyards were established.

Suleiman I died during the Ottoman siege of Szigetvár on 6th September 1566 in the vineyard hill of Szigetvár–Turbék, Hungary. At the location of his death and temporary burial site, a memorial place (türbe) was established in the 16th century. According to written sources it was built in the 1570s, and the tomb complex was protected by a fortification (palisade) and a moat system from the north in the 17th century. The 250 cm deep moat was revealed by geological boreholes, and excavated by archaeologists for, among others, archaeobotanical, anthracological, malacological, pollen analytical and archaeozoological analysis. During the formation of the archaeological profile, Ottoman and Habsburg coins having dating importance and archaeological findings were found from the filling of the moat. 30 litres of sediment samples were taken at 5 cm intervals for archaeobotanical analysis, and four radiocarbon (AMS) dating were carried out on Hordeum seeds. The cleaned surface of the profile was sampled at 10 cm intervals for sedimentological, geochemical and archaeozoological analysis. Based on some tens of thousands plant and some hundreds of animal, mainly domestic animal, remains we were able to reconstruct ploughed lands, orchards, kitchen gardens and vineyards, pasture lands, forest patches, gallery forest, as well as settlements. We were able to detect the land-economic zones (horticulture, forestry, cropfield, grazing zones) that closely followed the Thünen circles. Based on the malacological remains, the climate deterioration of the Little Ice Age (LIA) could also be demonstrated in the first two thirds of the 17th century. At the same time, it was clearly established that the extreme effects of climate change on agriculture was not so drastic in the vineyards hill site due to its exposure situation, exogenous geological and geological conditions. Thus, the negative effects of the Little Ice Age were modified on the dry south facing, lower altitude slopes, covered with loess and human-influenced soil (anthrasol). At least, extremes like those detected in the North Atlantic did not occur here. So, we can conclude that the mosaic nature of the Carpathian Basin could buffer the negative effects of the Little Ice Age through the microregions characterized by a milder and drier microclimate. The memorial place and the destroyed town (Ottoman name: Türbe kasabası) may have become depopulated between 1692 and 1693, when the area was divided into agricultural zones and new gardens, arable and pasturelands were established. The memorial place and the town were covered by the demolished material and soil. The site was re-identified and excavated as a part of an archaeological, historical and geoarcheological research work that started in 2015.

Machine learning has become as a part of our lives and we are living with the technology. We need to understand what is happening with the health of the person to be precise we need to analyze our own health. In this scenario we are implementing machine learning methodology in health care information for the problem statement of personalizing the medical information which is a private information we need to make it safe while using and implementing some sort of algorithms. In this paper we are discussing about understanding the human disease patterns and using which random forest and other machine learning models work and predict the actual procedure a person has to follow to get a good health and avoid the different health loss activities we are doing regularly. In this random forest is the most accurate algorithm worked with this concept and we need to analyze the other reasons for understanding which kind of information is most useful for performing machine learning. Machine learning cannot be implemented for all type of issues in the real time. But we can maintain a better break through of machine learning implementation on medical issues as mentioned in this article. We are performing a better algorithm to understand the human problems related to health care and we are proposing with sample implementations and explanation with relevant results. We tried to implement IT algorithm which gives the trust on the algorithm based on the truth maintenance system.

The accessibility to quality family planning (FP) information and counselling for Myanmar ethnic migrants in Thailand is questionable. Inadequate knowledge and lack of informed choice to practice FP methods increase the risk of unmet needs and method failures in FP, which could result in unplanned pregnancies and induced abortions. This research aimed to understand the FP information behaviour of a Pa-O migrant group, as well as structural and agency influencing factors on FP knowledge acquisition in Chiang Mai. A qualitative research based on the Information Behaviour model and Structuration theory was conducted using participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. A non-probability sampling method was employed, and 31 respondents participated in the study. The study found that actively seeking FP information from formal sources to make an informed decision was not common among Pa-O migrants. Instead, there was more reliance on informal information sources for choosing FP methods. Cultural norms related to sex, marriage, and age hinder migrant health information-seeking behaviour from formal and informal information sources. Pa-O migrants were alienated from structural resources, limiting the opportunities to promote FP knowledge. The personal and situational factors that significantly influenced the agency of migrants were lack of awareness of the right to information, language barriers, and perceived communication barriers with health staff. Limited resources of migrant-friendly health education programmes adversely affect migrant FP information behaviour. Reproductive health education programmes, including quality FP counselling services, should be accessible for marginalised migrants to ensure that their choices of FP are well-informed.

Menstrual hygiene is crucial for women's health and well-being, but societal acceptance of menstruation remains a significant issue in Nepal. Despite government efforts to reduce stigma, the health of women, children, and adolescents is still affected by its widespread superstitions. As a result, studies on menstrual knowledge and hygiene practices among adolescents in Nepal are scarce. The primary goal of this study is to further understand the depth of adolescent girls' knowledge about menstruation and its association with menstrual hygiene practices. In order to address this, we performed a descriptive cross-sectional study in Tokha municipality of Kathmandu as the study area. The study population consisted of female teenagers studying in randomly selected schools. A total of 404 samples were collected. Statistical significance of the association between the independent and dependent study variables were assessed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. We found that about 78.5% of the total of respondent had knowledge about menstruation, and mothers were main source of information. Menstrual practices, such as type of material used (AOR=2.549 95%CI= 1.078-6.710), frequency of cleaning genitalia at least two times (AOR=1.639; 95% CI=1.214-6.328), at least 3 times (AOR= 3.119; 95% CI=1.429-9.328) and product used to clean genitalia (AOR= 0.623 95%CI= 1.429-9.328) were associated with knowledge of respondents. It can be stated that teenage schoolgirls generally have decent knowledge about menstruation. Menstrual health issues are a concern that has to be addressed. Our study implicates that adolescent menstrual hygiene practices are associated with menstrual knowledge.
An Intelligent Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy for Solving the Multipath Congestion in Internet of Things
Authors: Aalsalem Mohammed Y
Published: December 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) has recently become a significant focus in research circles. IoT facilitates the integration of numerous physical entities with the Internet. Adhering to a standardized structure is imperative to manage the vast amount of information effectively. Although many researchers in the field of IoT have proposed various layered architectural designs, none have yet fulfilled all the requisite architectural criteria. Network congestion occurs when the volume of data packet traffic surpasses the network's handling capacity. Apart from addressing congestion issues, it is crucial to harmonize network resources like energy, bandwidth, and latency. The Quality of Service (QoS) in IoT applications chiefly depends on proficient congestion management, which is the central subject of this research. The research employs the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to regulate congestion, while the Membership Function (MF) undergoes adjustments through the application of the Modified Squirrel Search Algorithm (MSSA). This ANFIS amalgamates the advantages of Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to form a unique framework. Utilizing ANFIS, adaptive analysis services are available to interpret complex patterns and nonlinear interactions, featuring quick learning capabilities. The MSSA aids in tweaking the Membership Function within the ANFIS model, achieving a successful global convergence rate. An adaptive method considering predator presence probability is employed to harmonize the algorithm's exploration and exploitation functionalities, further bolstered by a dimensional search approach. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed Swarm Intelligence Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (SI-ANFIS) method significantly reduced traffic overhead and attained an impressive accuracy rate of 93.58%.
Luis Cernuda y la música clásica: de Ocnos a una Toccata de Galuppi
Authors: Londero Renata
Published: December 2023

El artículo versa sobre la pasión por la música, sobre todo clásica (Mozart, Bach, Beethoven), que Luis Cernuda sintió y expresó en su obra lírica y narrativa, especialmente durante la época de su exilio en el Reino Unido, Estados Unidos y México. En particular, se analizan algunos poemas en prosa de la colección Ocnos, escritos entre 1940 y 1956, pero también poemas de Como quien espera el alba, Con las horas contadas y Desolación de la Quimera, y los relatos En la costa de Santiniebla (1937) y El sarao (1942), donde la escucha de las notas del piano o de la guitarra se compara con el proceso de la creación poética y la experiencia erótica al mismo tiempo. En la segunda y última parte se estudian los reflejos de esta pasión en lo que atañe a la importante labor traductora que Cernuda realizó con respecto a la literatura en lengua inglesa: a través de su acertada versión de «A Toccata of Galuppi’s» (1855) de Robert Browning, llevada a cabo en 1955 y retocada en 1960, el poeta sevillano demuestra una eficaz adhesión tanto al culto por la música como al «sensuous thought» del escritor inglés

ESG, corporate social responsibility and business effectiveness in Taiwan's banking industry: Cost and risk perspectives
Authors: Liu Ting-Kun
Published: December 2023

Whether the additional costs and risks derived from investing in ESG and corporate social responsibility will have a positive or negative impact on corporate operations is an issue worthy of further study. Past works have discussed the impact of ESG and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on corporate operations, but mostly from the perspective of operating performance. The empirical results are also inconsistent, and even in the same study, there are ambiguities. Different from previous literature, this study attempts to explore this topic from the perspectives of cost and risk. Therefore, this paper constructs empirical data of Taiwan's financial industry from 2007 to 2022 to explore the impact of ESG and CSR on capital costs and business risks. In this paper, the panel data model is used to carry out an empirical estimation of the full sample and sub-sample and further verify the differences between the influencing factors. The results show that in terms of business risk, when ESG performance is good, it can alleviate the financial distress of banks and enhance the stability of business operations. It further verifies the practical application of ESG disclosure, which can effectively reduce the debt and capital cost of the banking industry.

Ovaj rad prikazuje analizu dvaju temeljnih mehanizama potrajnosti osnovne razine sigurnosti i zaštite na radu u šumarskom sektoru Republike Hrvatske. Za potrebe istraživanja proveden je telefonski anketni upitnik među poslovnim subjektima koji se bave osposobljavanjem radnika za rad na siguran način i stručnim osposobljavanjem radnika za rukovanje sredstvima za rad. Istraživanje je provedeno krajem 2022. i početkom 2023. godine. Uzorak ispitanika obuhvatio je 93 pravna subjekta koji su telefonski kontaktirani, njih 39 odnosno 42 % pristalo je na anketiranje. U rezultatima se vidi da od svih koji su pristali na anketiranje njih 36 provodi osposobljavanje za rad na siguran način u šumarstvu, dok njih 9 od 36 provodi i stručno osposobljavanje za rukovanje sredstvom za rad koje je primjenjivo u šumarstvu. Da bi se dobila bolja slika stanja te mogućnosti poboljšanja, provedena je usporedba sa sličnim istraživanjem objavljenim 2018. godine. Brojčani su elementi vrlo slični u broju izvođača svih osposobljavanja i broju zaposlenih, dok su uočena značajnija poboljšanja u broju održanih sati predavanja i praktičnoga dijela u korist posljednjega istraživanja.

Aanneemgedrag van werkgevers omtrent mensen met een beperking begrijpen en veranderen

Mensen met een beperking worden vaak niet aangenomen. Beleidsmaatregelen proberen hierop in te spelen. Maar pakken deze maatregelen de juiste oorzaken aan? In dit artikel geven wij aan de hand van een literatuurstudie een overzicht van de capaciteiten, mogelijkheden en motivaties die werkgevers nodig hebben om mensen met een beperking aan te nemen. Daarnaast testen we met een vragenlijst welke beleidsmaatregelen draagvlak genieten onder werkgevers.

Onze literatuurstudie toonde aan dat de drie meest genoemde barrières voor werkgevers waren (1) het idee dat mensen met een beperking niet productief zijn, (2) dat zij veel geld kosten en (3) een gebrek aan kennis over beperkingen onder werkgevers. De drie meest besproken stimulansen waren (1) pro-sociale motivatie, (2) werken binnen een grote organisatie en (3) het verwachten van een concurrentievoordeel. Uit onze vragenlijst bleek dat een training over de omgang met mensen met een beperking en proefplaatsingen als het meest positief werden gezien.

Authors: Krishna B.S Anantha , P.K Sheelam
Published: December 2023

Cancer care extends beyond physical health, profoundly impacting the mind and spirit. Holistic approaches recognize that medical interventions are just one facet of the complex cancer journey, which also involves emotional turmoil, psychological resilience, and the quest for meaning. Traditional treatments are crucial for managing physical symptoms, yet they often overlook the emotional toll of the disease.This concise overview delves into the pivotal role of Integrated Yoga and Wellness Therapy in cancer care. Merging ancient yoga wisdom with modern wellness practices, this approach prioritizes comprehensive well-being, understanding that genuine health surpasses the absence of disease. Holistic strategies, tailored to individual needs and preferences, equip patients with tools to manage stress, enhance emotional resilience, and find empowerment. Embracing integrated therapy in healthcare institutions is imperative for enhanced patient outcomes, reduced side effects, and an overall improvement in the quality of life for cancer patients. Through research, awareness, and collaboration, holistic approaches pave a transformative path for both patients and healthcare systems, bridging the gap between curing the body and nurturing the individual as a whole.

Published: December 2023

The classification of Mukha Rogas has been done either on the basis of involvement of Doshas or based on the site of occurrence of the diseases. Kaumaarbhritya is one of the branches of Ayurved which deals with Bharan(nutrition), poshan, Dhatri, Kshirdosh and its treatment. Tundekeri means Shotha(inflammation). In ayurveda it resembles cotton fruit. The symptoms of Tundekeri are more like Tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is a common illness in childhood. Tundekeri shows the symptoms of pain in the throat, dysphagia, swelling of tonsils. If these symptoms are treated in time, we can avoid further suppurative tonsillitis and enlargement of tonsils among childhoods. Acharya Sushruta advised surgical management in tonsillitis, while Acharya Vagbhata advised conservative treatment on tonsillitis which mainly includes Nasya, Pratisaran, Gandush etc. Recurrent attacks of diseases like tonsillitis affect the normal growth and development of a child and may lead to various health hazards. Tundikeri occurs due to Kapha prakopa and Rakta dushti and Doshas are situated in Talu and Kantha Pradesh. Drugs having Shothahar, Sandhaniya, Ropan, Lekhan, Rakta stambhan, Vedana sthapan and Pitta Kapha shamak properties are supposed to be ideal for the treatment of Tonsillitis.

Authors: Szalai Klára Szilvia , Molnár Mária Judit , Molnár Viktor , Ács Andrea
Published: December 2023

A vizsgálat célja: Huntington-kórban szenvedők és az őket gondozók életminőségének vizsgálata, amelynek során különösen nagy hangsúlyt kap a család. Célunk volt továbbá felmérni, mennyire lennének nyitottak a családok olyan, egyetemi végzettségű ápolók által nyújtott szolgáltatásra, amely segít a betegutak rövidítésében, illetve a mindennapi problémáik megoldásában. Anyag és módszer: A keresztmetszeti vizsgálat validált kérdőívekkel történt, illetve saját kérdőívet készítettünk, amely szociodemográfiai adatokat és a betegséggel kapcsolatos kérdéseket tartalmazott. A vizsgálat a Semmelweis Egyetem Genomikai Medicina és Ritka Betegségek Intézetében történt, Huntington-kóros betegek és családjuk bevonásával. Eredmények: A Huntington-kóros betegek saját megítélése szerint a fizikai életminőségre van nagyobb hatással a betegség, szemben a mentális egészséggel. A Huntington-kóros családok életminőségére nagy hatással van a családtagjuk betegsége. A Huntington-kóros betegek és családtagjaik is nyitottak lennének egyetemi végzettségű ápoló által nyújtott szolgáltatásokra. Következtetés: A Huntington-kór negatív hatással van mind a beteg, mind a családja életminőségére. Ennek javításának érdekében érdemes lenne megvizsgálni, hogy kiterjesztett hatáskörű ápoló által nyújtott segítséggel javítható-e.

Published: December 2023

The combined effect of nano-reinforcements on the mechanical performance of nanocomposites, which are a novel class of epoxy matrix hybrid nanocomposites containing multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), graphene, and nanodiamonds (NDs), is drawing substantial attention from many research communities. The discussion concentrates on the dispersion techniques adopted for the preparation of epoxy composites containing different types of nanoparticles (3-D fillers, nanofibers, nanotubes, and plate-like fillers). This review paper covers the electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and nanodiamond-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites and correlates them with the topographical features, morphology, weight fraction, dispersion state, and surface functionalization of CNTs, graphene, and nanodiamond. This review paper also summarises recent developments in the dispersion method of different carbon nanoparticles in epoxy matrix.
